| 103 | Method and device for controlling a production unit | US10554055 | 2004-02-25 | US20060267536A1 | 2006-11-30 | Wolfgang Linke |
| A method and a device for controlling a production unit in a production installation are specified, controlling referring to the controlling and monitoring of speeds of rotation or angles of rotation of individual drives (20-22) such that the movements of these are monitored in respect of a synchronous value (37) and/or a limit value (33). The monitoring in respect of the limit value (33) results in a safely limited speed of the individual drives. The monitoring in respect of the synchronous value (37) permits detection of asynchronies. The monitoring can be carried out in normal operating mode and/or in setup mode, and, in setup mode, it serves particularly to protect the operating personnel from drives (20-22) that start up suddenly or are running too fast. | ||||||
| 104 | Method and a device for managing the supply of wrapping and/or additional and/or auxiliary materials in a system for the manufacture of tobacco products | US10391571 | 2003-03-20 | US07117872B2 | 2006-10-10 | Fiorenzo Draghetti; Stefano Romagnoli; Danilo Berti; Gaetano De Pietra; Cristina Pareschi |
| The supply of consumables and other materials to production machines in a system for the manufacture of tobacco products is managed using a method whereby, once a nominal target number of products has been programmed at a master control unit, a tally is kept of the number of products emerging from the machine located farthest downstream, and a corresponding signal relayed back to the master control unit, together with a signal indicating the consumption of the various types of material. On the basis of the information received, the master control unit will process an output message indicating the requirement for at least one given type of consumable or wrapping or other auxiliary material to be supplied, whereupon the message is sent to an operator entrusted with the task of replacing the depleted material. | ||||||

The latter is connected to a load cell (28) in order to determine the applied force as a function of the distance traveled. The characteristic deformation data or change in force at a precise, constant downward movement of the pressure plate (26) yield a reproducible, characteristic image of the pack (10) in question. | ||||||
| 110 | System and method for visually inspecting a cigarette packaging process | US09549569 | 2000-04-14 | US06373520B1 | 2002-04-16 | Edmond J. Cadieux, Jr.; Michael C. Cecil; H. Coleman Goodman, Jr.; Linwood H. Carneal; Gary Kocken; Gregory Russ |
| A system and method for detecting non-conforming packages such as cigarette packages during travel along a conveyor path. A foil detector can be used to detect a non-conforming foil condition of the packages and a vision inspection system can be used to detect a non-conforming surface feature of the package. The foil detector and vision inspection system can be located at a single inspection station and non-conforming packages can be removed at an ejection station. The ejection station can include a first ejection mechanism such as an air jet for removing packages having a non-conforming foil condition and a second ejection mechanism such as another air jet can be used to remove a package having a non-conforming surface feature. The vision inspection system can include a plurality of video cameras and a reflector which illuminates the package to be inspected with diffused light. The reflector can surround the package undergoing inspection and baffles can be arranged within the reflector housing to prevent hot spots from appearing in the images recorded by the cameras. Using three cameras, one camera can view a surface of the package facing away from the conveyor belt, a second camera can be used to view the top and one side of the package, and the third camera can be used to view the bottom and the other side of the package. | ||||||
| 111 | Process and apparatus for producing packs | US09335906 | 1999-06-18 | US06308492B1 | 2001-10-30 | Heinz Focke; Henry Buse; Gisbert Engel |
| The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for producing packs, in particular cigarette packs. A change in the type of pack makes it necessary for the operators carefully to provide the correct packaging material assigned to the new type of pack. In practice, this change of material often takes place incorrectly. The invention avoid errors when the type of pack is changed in that markings, which are assigned to packaging material of different designs and are provided on the packaging material and/or the carrier thereof, in particular on a core of the reel, and/or the pack, are used to identify the packaging material and to check it for correct assignment in relation to the type of pack which is to be produced. | ||||||

| 113 | Apparatus for handling or producing packs | US19050 | 1998-02-05 | US6035603A | 2000-03-14 | Heinz Focke; Peter Verwiebe; Hermann Schnoor |
| Apparatus for handling or producing packs made of packaging material, it being the case that folding elements, pressure-exerting elements, push rods, slides etc. act on blanks of the packaging material. In order to convert any possible incorrect positioning of the moveable elements, in particular of the push rods, immediately into an error signal, a folding turret (10) is assigned a stationary monitoring unit (32) which is equipped with mechanical actuating elements, namely contact lugs (29,30,31). In the event of any possible incorrect positioning, one of the contact lugs (29,30,31) is actuated with the effect of a switching movement. | ||||||
| 114 | Method and device for the manufacture especially of hinge-lid packs for cigarettes | US805615 | 1997-02-26 | US5970682A | 1999-10-26 | Heinz Focke; Martin Stiller |
| To improve the efficiency of powerful packaging machines for cigarettes or the like, the blanks (10) for wrapping the cigarettes or the like are monitored in respect of correct formation whilst being conveyed along a blanks path (27) to a revolving folding unit (28). Bifurcate photoelectric barriers are positioned on side regions of the blanks path (28) as monitoring units (40, 41). These barriers monitor the state of folding flaps (19. .24), arranged at the side, of the transported blanks (10). | ||||||
| 115 | Method and apparatus for electro-optically scanning (cigarette) packs | US868091 | 1992-04-14 | US5240117A | 1993-08-31 | Heinz Focke; Uwe Dreyer |
| Disclosed is a method and apparatus for electro-optically scanning (cigarette) packs. For an inspection of (cigarette) packs (10) as regards exterior appearance, electro-optical inspection means, particularly a camera (48) and a mirror (49) are used to produce images of the outer sides of the pack (10). In the region of an inspection station (20), the packs (10) are only engaged in the region of two diametrically opposite edges, particularly in the region of the short transverse edges (17, 18), in order to correctly and simultaneously detect all pack sides. As a result, the pack sides are exposed so that they can be scanned or photographed by appropriately positioned cameras or a camera and a mirror. The transverse edges (17, 18) bear on conveying strands (37, 38) of appropriately inclined conveyor belts (35, 36). | ||||||
| 116 | Article wrapping apparatus | US656677 | 1991-02-19 | US5179815A | 1993-01-19 | Michael J. Cahill; Jeffrey J. Patchett; David R. Seaward; Graham L. Shirley; Geoffrey W. Vernon |
| Article wrapping apparatus, particularly for wrapping cigarette packets in wrapper film, includes separate cutters (34A,14) respectively for severing a wrapper web into separate sections and for cutting the leading end of a tear strip attached to each section. Drive means (24) is provided for varying the path length of the web between the cutters. Separate drives (12,30) are provided respectively for the cutters and for the web, these being synchronized with a further separate drive for the articles. An air mover (32) assists feeding of the web towards the main cutter (34A); a further air mover (50) assists feeding of wrapper sections across and beyond the path of an article to be wrapped. Opposed belt conveyors (43,44) may be clamped together under action of air cylinders for feeding of wrapper sections without loss of timing. | ||||||
| 117 | Exit stage device for a packaging line | US54770 | 1987-05-27 | US4858770A | 1989-08-22 | Antonio Gamberini |
| The device disclosed is intended for the exit stage of a packaging line, in particulr a line for the manufacture of packs of cigarettes, in which an exit conveyor indexes a continuous string of packs toward respective pockets created in an indexing transfer wheel that rotates about an axis parallel to the path of movement established by the conveyor. The transfer wheel and the conveyor are both driven from one motor, the wheel via a direct transmission link, and the conveyor via a differential operated by a transducer that serves to establish the exact position occupied by each single pack in relation to the transfer wheel on arrival at a reference point situated in the path followed along the conveyor toward the wheel. | ||||||
| 118 | Method of and apparatus for replacing defective packets in a stream of randomly distributed satisfactory and defective packets | US52832 | 1987-05-20 | US4814072A | 1989-03-21 | Nils Von Wichert; Michael Knabe; Dieter Schwenke |
| A stream of neighboring stacks of superimposed cigarette packs wherein the stacks can consist of or contain defective packs is advanced intermittently along a horizontal path. Stacks which contain or consist of defective packs are removed by the pockets of an indexible turret which is located in a vertical plane extending at right angles to the path of the stream. The defective pack or packs of a removed stack are expelled from the respective pocket in a first angular position of the pocket in which the latter is remote from the path for the stream, and the partially or completely emptied pocket is then indexed to a second position to receive one or more satisfactory packs which were expelled from previously removed stacks of defective and satisfactory packs before the thus filled pocket is returned into the path for the stream to fill a gap which has developed as a result of removal of a stack. A suction cup is provided to temporarily hold a removed satisfactory pack preparatory to introduction into a pocket which is about to return into the path for the stream of stacks. | ||||||
| 119 | Apparatus for testing cigarette packs and the like | US748771 | 1985-06-25 | US4643027A | 1987-02-17 | Reinhard Deutsch; Klaus Jurgen Pohl; Gerhard Masuch |
| Apparatus for testing cigarette packs for the presence or absence of several defects including the configuration of the packs, the orientation of their constituents and the quality of bonds between overlapping constituents has an intermittently driven turret with an annulus of receptacles which are supplied with packs by an intermittently driven feeding conveyor. The receptacles have relatively small engaging devices in the form of spring-biased strips, suction cups and/or simple abutments to locate and hold the packs therein in such a way that by far the major part of each pack remains accessible and exposed for testing by a series of photocells which are disposed at several stations adjacent to the path of movement of the receptacles. Tested defective and satisfactory packs are expelled from their receptacles in two separate portions of the path downstream of the testing stations. | ||||||
| 120 | Device for replacing defective articles | US28672 | 1979-04-10 | US4238025A | 1980-12-09 | Renato Manservisi |
| The device for automatically replacing defective cigarette packets discarded from a feeding line on which the packets advance in a single row comprises a pair of gravity-feed reserve hoppers, containing each a stack of reserve packets, and a transferring drum, operatively interposed between the said reserve hoppers and the feeding line. The drum is driven in step-by-step rotation in relation to the absence, signalled by suitable sensing and controlling devices, of a discarded defective packet. Upon each step rotation of the transferring drum, a cigarette packet is taken by the drum alternately from one of the said reserve hoppers, and it is progressively transferred onto the feeding line, to take the place of the previously discarded packet. | ||||||
