    Abstract: A labeling unit and a method for applying labels to containers are described. According thereto, the labeling unit comprises an unwinding device for unwinding a label-backing tape from at least one supply reel, a processing device for separating the label-backing tape into the individual labels and for transferring the labels onto the containers, and, arranged in-between, a loop buffer which is variable in size and is intended for temporarily storing the label-backing tape. Owing to the fact that the loop buffer comprises at least two, pivotably-mounted for changing the size, deflecting pulleys for the label-backing tape, and is designed and arranged to provide the sole, temporary storage between the supply reel and the separation unit, the label-backing tape can be temporarily stored with comparatively high storage dynamics and sufficiently high storage capacity for changing the label-backing tape, and also with a low outlay on an apparatus.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a vacuum cylinder unit for transferring labels to containers in a vacuum-supported manner, and a labeling device equipped with said unit. The vacuum cylinder unit comprises a drive shaft and a vacuum cylinder which is coupled thereto in a centered and driving manner by means of a zero-point clamping system. Because the zero-point clamping system comprises a clamping pin which is integrated into the vacuum cylinder and a clamping chuck which is rigidly connected to the drive shaft for securing the clamping pin, the vacuum cylinder can be manually lifted off the drive shaft by a small vertical stroke and the majority of the weight of the zero-point clamping system can be moved into the region of the drive shaft. This also reduces the amount of equipment needed for the vacuum cylinder which is designed as a format-specific interchangeable part.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a film store and method for dynamically storing a strip-like label film, wherein the film store comprises at least one storage region with an upper carriage and a lower carriage as well as deflection rollers fastened thereto for the label film. The label film is guided along a transport path extending in a meandering manner between the upper carriage and the lower carriage, and the size of the film store is adjusted by the upper and lower carriage moving in opposite directions while mutually compensating for weight. Because the upper carriage and the lower carriage are moved toward one another or away from one another by a torque-controlled or force-controlled servo motor and/or the servo motor tensions the label film between the deflection rollers, the storage dynamics and the storage capacity can be optimized while maintaining a maximum permissible strip tension in the label film.
