Abstract (en)

Automatic labelling machine (1) for bottles, comprising: - a feeding station (11), for feeding a strip (W) of material for labels; - a labelling station (14) configured to perform a labelling step, during which the labelling station (14) attaches a plurality of portions (p1, p2) of said strip (W) onto a plurality of successive bottles, respectively, so as to label in each case said bottles by means of said portions (p1, p2); - a movement system (15) configured to perform a movement step, during which the movement system (15) causes a movement of said strip (W) from said feeding station (11) to said labelling station (14); - a gluing station (12) configured to perform sequentially, for each of said portions (p1, p2) and during said movement, a respective gluing step associated with the portion (p1; p2), during which the gluing station (12) applies glue onto the portion (p1; p2); - a cutting station (13) configured to perform sequentially, for each of said portions (p1, p2) and during said movement, a respective cutting step associated with the portion (p1; p2), during which the cutting station (13) cuts the strip (W) so as to define the form of the respective label corresponding to the portion (p1; p2); characterized in that: - the cutting station (13) is configured to perform the respective cutting step associated with each portion (p1; p2) by means of a laser; - the machine is configured so that the cutting station (13) is operationally positioned, in accordance with said movement, downstream of said gluing station (12) so that, for each portion (p1; p2), the cutting station (13) performs the cutting step associated with the respective portion (p1; p2) after the gluing station (12) has performed the gluing step associated with the same portion (p1; p2).
