Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0858888A2] The machine has a flat press (2), a die table (3) and a tool plate (4). It also has at least one film track (6) which is fed from a supply roller (7) via the die table to a film wind up device (8). The device has at least one film loop store (10) with a differential pressure device (30) for forming a film loop (12) before the press by means of an air pressure difference (DP) exerted on the film track. A film advancing device (24) is provided on one side of the press and a tensioning device (25) for stretching the film track is provided on the other side. The machine also has a control (52) for the loop formation and film advancing to the embossing site, corresponding to the press cycle. The controller holds the film track still on the die table during the printing phase and advances it to the next embossing position in the non-printing phase. The difference in speed between the advancing speed at the embossing position and the track speed at the roller is equalised by appropriate increasing and reducing of the loops.
