A motor for a plate of a labelling machine comprises a housing with a connecting portion for connecting the motor to a carousel of the labelling machine, a motor shaft pivotally supported within the housing, a coupling flange having a first end connected to the motor shaft and a second end that can be connected to the plate. The motor shaft and coupling flange are joined as one piece such as to form a one-body shaft-flange unit.

Motor for driving a container-holder plate in a labelling machine

A rotary labelling machine comprises a carrousel that can be pivotally driven by a carrousel motor and a plurality of container stations supported by said carrousel, wherein each container station comprises a container-holder plate and a plate motor suitable to rotate the plate about its own axis, carrousel sensor means detecting the movement of the carrousel and generating a reference signal representative of the carrousel angular position, a plurality of local control units. Each control unit is connected with one of the plate motors, respectively, and is configured to receive and process the reference signal and generate a control signal specific for said plate motor. Signal propagation means are connected to the carrousel sensor means and to the local control units to propagate the reference signal to each of the local control units.

Labelling machine

A motor for a plate of a labelling machine comprises a housing with a connecting portion for connecting the motor to a carousel of the labelling machine, a motor shaft pivotally supported within the housing, a coupling flange having a first end connected to the motor shaft and a second end that can be connected to the plate. The motor defines a through opening, which is substantially parallel to the motor shaft that allow alignment means to have access to the plate through the motor.

The invention refers to the field of labelling machines that use tubular labels, and in particular it refers to ultrasound welding apparata for making a tubular label made of a heat-shrinking film, precut from a coil. The apparatus provides for the label welding for the whole length of the surmount (), the apparatus being able to translate on at least two Cartesian axes; moreover, it guarantees one or more welding beads due to the presence, on the sonotrode, of a plurality of ribs (): the formation of one or more beads will have to be attributed to the more or less correct position of the precut label and the errors caused during its transfer. The presence of many beads is an improving condition of the resistance to tensile stress of the welded label.
