Abstract: A device for the surface treatment of a substrate including a transport device, a vacuum suction device, a corona device and a coating device, is described. The transport device is formed as a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is formed as a vacuum suction belt of the vacuum suction device, and the conveyor belt is formed as a counter electrode of the corona device.

Abstract: A method for applying a transfer ply of a foil to a substrate, with the steps of: a) regionally applying a radically curable adhesive to the transfer ply and/or the substrate by means of an inkjet printhead; b) precuring the adhesive by UV irradiation; c) applying the transfer ply to the substrate by means of a stamping apparatus; d) fully curing the adhesive by UV irradiation; e) peeling a carrier ply of the foil, to leave at least one first subregion of the transfer ply on an application region of the substrate, and at least one second subregion of the transfer ply on the carrier ply; f) winding up or recoiling the carrier ply with the remaining second subregion of the transfer ply; g) applying at least one further subregion of the transfer ply remaining on the carrier ply to the substrate by at least once repeating steps a) to f).

Abstract: A film-embossing apparatus with a hot-embossing device which has a heated embossing stamp. With the formation of a contact pressure, a transfer layer, arranged on a carrier film, of a hot-embossing film is transferred to a surface of a workpiece. The hot-embossing device has control inputs and outputs. The film-embossing apparatus has an industrial robot with control inputs and outputs. The control inputs and outputs of the hot-embossing device and of the industrial robot are connected to a control unit. The industrial robot is formed such that it guides the workpiece to the hot-embossing device, positions the workpiece on the embossing stamp, guides the workpiece past the embossing stamp, and guides the embossed workpiece away from the hot-embossing device. The industrial robot can also position the hot-embossing device on the workpiece.

Abstract: A hot-stamping device (1) is described, having a stamping device (2) for transferring a transfer layer (15u) disposed on a carrier layer (15t) of a hot-stamping foil (15) on to a substrate (14). The hot-stamping device comprises a heatable stamping roller (11) and a counter-pressure roller (12), between which a stamping gap (16) is realized, and comprising a separating device (3), disposed downstream, for separating the carrier layer (15t) from the transfer layer (15u) transferred on to the substrate (14). A flat support element (18) is disposed under the stamped substrate (17), between the stamping gap (16) and the separating device (3), directly adjoining the stamping gap (16) or at a distance of <1 mm from the stamping gap (16) or overlapping the stamping gap (16).

The hot-embossing device (2) has control inputs and outputs. The film-embossing apparatus (1) has an industrial robot (3) with control inputs and outputs. The control inputs and outputs of the hot-embossing device and of the industrial robot are connected to a control unit (7). The industrial robot (3) is formed such that it guides the workpiece (4) to the hot-embossing device (2), positions the workpiece (4) on the embossing stamp (21), guides the workpiece (4) past the embossing stamp (21), and guides the embossed workpiece away from the hot-embossing device (2). It can also be provided that the industrial robot (3) positions the hot-embossing device (2) on the workpiece (4).
