  • Patent number: 10479071
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a decoration method, for applying a new décor (170) on a surface (2) of an object (1) including an existing décor (120), characterized in that the method comprises the following successive steps: a step a) for measuring at least two identification points (120a, 120b, 120f) of the existing décor (120) applied on the surface (2) of the object (1); a step b) for dynamic correction of localization points (170a, 170b, 170f) of the new décor (170) to be applied on the surface (2) of the object (1), using the identification points (120a, 120b, 120f) measured during the measuring step a); and a step c) for application of the new décor (170) on the surface (2) of the object (1), by using the localization points (170a, 170b, 170f) determined in the dynamic correction step b). The invention also relates to a control system and a decoration machine comprising such a control system.

  • Patent number: 8443861
    Abstract: A marking or labeling machine which includes at least one marking or labeling member and a feed mechanism for bringing workpieces for marking or labeling into register with the at least one marking or labeling member. The feed mechanism includes at least two arms mounted to turn about a common first axis, with each arm carrying at least one support member for supporting a workpiece for marking or labeling, and also includes secondly independent drives for driving each of the arms in rotation about the common first axis independently of the other arm.

  • Patent number: 8322279
    Abstract: A machine for marking or labeling circularly symmetrical work pieces includes a marking or labeling member, elements for moving the member and a workpiece relative to each other in a first direction, and a cradle for holding a workpiece while it is being marked or while a label is being applied to it. The cradle includes components for moving the workpiece in rotation around an axis of revolution thereof. A drive carriage drives the cradle in translation in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction. There are components that drive the carriage in translation in a third direction that is perpendicular to the first and second directions. Other components make it possible to drive the cradle relative to the carriage in rotation about a first axis that is parallel to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 8074568
    Abstract: A hot stamping machine including a stamping member which presses a stamping foil against a peripheral surface of articles which are successively positioned in a stamping position and wherein stamping foil is removed from an unwinding mechanism for each stamping sequence and passes in succession into a suction box, along a braking surface and opposite the stamping member that urges the foil against an article, and wherein a reserve of foil is available in the suction box between the unwinding means and the braking surface, while the foil is tensioned between the stamping member and the article, during stamping of the article, and between the braking surface and a rewinding mechanism.

  • Patent number: 7823505
    Abstract: This machine for marking hollow parts comprises a marking member designed to be on contact in at least one line of tangency with a hollow part for it to be marked, and a first and a second mandrel capable of supporting respectively a first part to be marked and a second part previously marked. A control camera is placed at a focal length from the marked surface of the second part. The first mandrel is capable of moving the first part relative to the marking member and the movement of the second mandrel is slaved and identical to that of the first mandrel. The camera is capable of moving parallel to, and in synchronism with, the line of tangency between the marking member and the first part.

  • Publication number: 20090178581
    Abstract: This hot stamping machine comprises a stamping member, which is intended to press a stamping foil against the peripheral surface of individual articles in order to stamp said articles, the individual articles being positioned successively into a stamping position and stamped by a stamping sequence which is repeated far each article. The machine comprises stamping foil unwinding means, intended to sequentially unwind a length of stamping foil at the end of each stamping sequence for the next stamping sequence, and stamping foil rewinding means. The stamping machine further comprises a stamping foil suction box and a stamping foil braking surface, the braking surface having a fixed orientation relative to the frame of the machine during each stamping sequence.
