Claims55
A machine for the labeling of items, comprising at least one carousel, a ring encircling the carousel, at least one labeling unit for the labeling of items connected to the ring at any chosen point, synchronously driven transport elements for correctly positioned delivery and removal of the items, the transport elements being supported on a table plate, and the carousel being supported in a rotary bearing positioned outside the table plate, wherein the at least one labeling unit has an underframe and wherein the at least one labeling unit can be detachably docked at the periphery of the at least one carousel, wherein one of the labeling units and the underframe support one of a protective disk and pressing elements and wherein the labeling units have their own electromotive drive synchronized for the movement of the carousel.
A machine for the labeling of items, comprising at least one carousel, a ring encircling the carousel, at least one labeling unit for the labeling of the items and connected to the ring at any chosen point, and synchronously driven transport elements for feeding and removing the items, wherein the labeling units have their own electromotive drives synchronized for the movements of the carousel, and a control unit for the electromotive drives which is integrated into a displaceably designed underframe supporting the labeling units, whereby the underframe is linked to the ring by means of detachable, self-centering coupling elements.
A machine for the labeling of items, comprising at least one carousel, a ring encircling the carousel, at least one labeling unit for the labeling of items connected to the ring at any chosen point, synchronously driven transport elements for correctly positioned delivery and removal of the items, the transport elements being supported on a table plate, and the carousel being supported in a rotary bearing positioned outside the table plate, wherein the at least one labeling unit has an underframe and wherein the at least one labeling unit can be detachably docked at the periphery of the at least one carousel, wherein the rotary bearing has a standing frame, formed as a table plate separate from the table plate, wherein brackets projecting radially outwardly, which project beyond the circumference of the carousel, are attached to the frame, and wherein the brackets support the ring encircling the carousel, and labeling units, which can be placed on the circumference of the carousel as desired, are linked with the ring by means of detachable coupling elements, wherein the coupling elements are self-centering.
