Apparatus for the in-register processing of a printed web in a packaging machine

摘要

A printed endless web (1) of packaging material is embossed between two groove-embossing rollers (5) before it enters a packaging machine. A photocell (6) senses printing marks (7) provided on the web (1) and controls the drive for the groove-embossing rollers (5) intermittently, in such a way that the groove-embossing rollers (5) are each driven for an embossing operation at a higher circumferential speed than corresponds to the normal web speed. The driven web-transport rollers (4, 8) are provided with an overrunning free-wheel coupling. <IMAGE>
