Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2082966A2] The device comprises a unit (2) for cutting labels (18) from a label strip (8), an applying unit (4), which is arranged downstream to the cutting unit and applies labels on containers (10), and a guiding device (32). The applying unit comprises a radiation device, which is arranged in such a manner that the radiation applies a first section of the labels on an external wall of the containers and comprises a laser light source. The applying unit comprises a carrier device, which transports the containers on a web in the shape of a segment of a circle, and support elements for the containers. The device comprises a unit (2) for cutting labels (18) from a label strip (8), an applying unit (4), which is arranged downstream to the cutting unit and applies labels on containers (10), and a guiding device (32). The applying unit comprises a radiation device, which is arranged in such a manner that the radiation applies a first section of the labels on an external wall of the containers and comprises a laser light source. The applying unit comprises a carrier device, which transports the containers on a web, which is in the shape of a segment of a circle, and support elements for the containers, where the support elements are rotatably arranged on the carrier device. The first section of the labels is connected with a second section of the labels. The applying unit comprises a radiation guiding device, which changes an impact area of the radiation. The guiding device guides the cutting label during the applying procedure. The control device comprises through-holes for the radiation. The guiding device consists of a material transparent for the radiation. The cutting unit comprises a radiation device for cutting the label strips and a swivelable roller for the label strip, where the swivelable roller comprises mounting means in order to fix the label strip intermittently to a circumferential wall of the roller. The cutting unit comprises a plate for guiding the label strip, where the plate is arranged stationary and adjacent to the roller. The guide plate comprises a recess, by which the label strips are intermittently fastened at the roller. Independent claims are included for: (1) an applying unit for the applying labels on the containers; (2) a cutting unit for cutting labels from a label strip; and (3) a method for the applying of a label on containers.
