Abstract (en)
There is described a labelling machine (1) for applying labels (2) obtained from a web (4) of labelling material onto articles (3) adapted to contain a pourable product, and comprising: a conveyor device (6) configured to advance a plurality of articles (3) along a conveying path (P); a cutting device (10) configured to cut a sequence of single labels (2) from the web (4) of labelling material, the labels (2) being initially joined together to form said web (4); a label transfer device comprising a vacuum drum (11) configured to sequentially receive, on an outer lateral surface (11a) thereof, the labels (2) cut by the cutting device (10), to retain the labels (2) onto the outer lateral surface (11a) by means of vacuum suction, and to transfer them to the conveyor device (6); a tension sensor (15) arranged operatively upstream of the cutting device (10) and configured to detect a physical quantity correlated with a tension of the web (4) and to generate a signal (W) correlated with the detected physical quantity; and a control unit (16) configured to receive the signal (W) generated, in use, by the tension sensor (15) and to control the vacuum suction of the vacuum drum (11) based on the signal (W) received from the tension sensor (15).
