Abstract (en)

[origin: DE10136294A1] To apply self-adhesive labels (16) by a controlled application/pressure drum (17), on to flat items (20) on a conveyor, the acceleration time is computed off-line to bring the application drum speed up to the mean conveying speed of the items to be labeled. Sensors time the movement of the leading edge of each item at two successive points, to give the start time for the application drum acceleration to meet the expression t5=t4?+(t4?-t3)\*(x6?-x4)\/(x4?-x3)?-TTr. x3 and x4 are the positions of the first and second sensor units; x6 the time where the leading label edge meets the item; t3 and t4 the timings of the leading item edge at the sensors; t5 the drum acceleration start time; TTr the drum acceleration time to bring the label speed on its surface to the mean item conveying speed.
