Abstract
An apparatus for digital printing on closing components for containers, includes a loading container with a hopper containing the closing components from which a conveyor line originates, with the closing components being positioned on the conveyor line by means of a withdrawing device provided with a bowl. A digital printing station situated along the conveyor line includes a digital printing device with ink-jet nozzles provided to reproduce images and/or text on each metal closing component with the help of a position sensor provided to detect the position of the closing components on the conveyor line. The digital printing device is controlled by a command and control unit, to which the position sensor is connected. A user interface device allows the user to interact with the command and control unit to select and/or modify an image to be printed, on the basis of which control instructions are sent to the digital printing device so that the selected and/or modified image to be printed is reproduced on the closing components.
