Abstract
A device for arranging a marking around a prolate object includes: a material interface for receiving a printed product provided by a printer; a printing signal interface for acquiring a control signal indicative of the provision of the printed product; a stop for limiting a longitudinal motion of the prolate object along a longitudinal axis in an end position of the prolate object relative to the device; and at least one actuator for, depending on the control signal indicative of the provision of the printed product, arranging the marking in a circumferentially closed manner on the prolate object using the printed product provided by the printer. The prolate object is arranged in the end position.
Claims19
A device for arranging a marking around a prolate object, comprising:
- a material interface configured to receive a printed product provided by a printer;
- a printing signal interface configured to acquire a control signal indicative of the provision of the printed product;
- a stop configured to limit a longitudinal motion of the prolate object along a longitudinal axis in an end position of the prolate object relative to the device;
- and
- at least one actuator configured to, depending on the control signal indicative of the provision of the printed product, arrange the marking in a circumferentially closed manner on the prolate object using the printed product provided by the printer,
- wherein the prolate object is arrangeable in the end position,
- wherein the stop is mounted for pivotal motion about a pivot axis between a first pivot position and a second pivot position, and
- wherein the stop is configured to limit a longitudinal motion of the prolate object along the longitudinal axis in the first pivot position and is arranged outside the longitudinal axis in the second pivot position.

- and
- at least one actuator configured to, depending on the control signal indicative of the provision of the printed product, arrange the marking in a circumferentially closed manner on the prolate object using the printed product provided by the printer,
- wherein the prolate object is arrangeable in the end position,
- wherein the stop is adjustably positioned along the longitudinal axis and the adjustable position of the stop determines a distance between an end of the object abutting the stop and the marking arranged on the object,
- wherein the position of the stop is adjustable by a spindle parallel to the longitudinal axis, which is in driving connection with the at least one actuator or a further actuator of the device,
- wherein the stop is mounted for pivotal motion about a pivot axis between a first pivot position and a second pivot position,
- wherein the stop is configured to limit a longitudinal motion of the prolate object along the longitudinal axis in the first pivot position and is arranged outside the longitudinal axis in the second pivot position,
- wherein the device further comprises a control unit or a regulating unit configured to control or regulate the at least one actuator of the device for the arranging of the marking, and to control or regulate the further actuator for the pivotal motion of the stop, and
- wherein the stop is in the first pivot position prior to the arranging of the marking and is in the second pivot position during the arrangement.
