Abstract

In order to manufacture ID cards, it is proposed to provide with a layer of adhesive the whole surface of an ID card to be provided with a covering layer. The covering layer is then applied on the layer of adhesive while this is not yet set and still in a plastic or fluid state, and the covering layer is held with its surface opposite to the card body on a shaping surface as long as the adhesive is not yet set, so that the outer contour of the covering foil and thus the outer contour of the finished ID card correspond to the contour of the shaping surface.

Description

Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von ID-Karten Method and device for producing ID cards
Beschreibungdescription
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von ID- Karten nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens .The invention relates to a method for producing ID cards according to the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus for performing the method.
ID-Karten, insbesondere solche, welche Zusatzelemente wieID cards, especially those that have additional elements such as
Magnetstreifen, Fotografien oder dergleichen umfassen, werden üblicherweise auf mindestens einer Seite bzw. Fläche mit einer oder mehreren (eventuell bedruckten) Deckschichten versehen, die u.U. auch (nochmals) bedruckt werden sollen. Die Herstellung erfolgt normalerweise durch Auflaminieren, also einen thermischen Prozeß, bei welchem Stapel von übereinanderliegenden Karten (bzw. Karten-Bögen) hergestellt werden. In vielen Fällen, insbesondere dann, wenn Zusatzelemente wie Magnetstreifen, Fotografien oder dergleichen mit einlaminiert werden, kann es Höhenunterschiede bzw. Unregelmäßigkeiten in der Außenkontur derart geben, daß es beim Bedrucken Schwierigkeiten gibt und/oder sogar "fühlbare" Höhenunterschiede vorliegen.Magnetic strips, photographs or the like are usually provided on at least one side or surface with one or more (possibly printed) cover layers, which may should also be printed (again). The production is usually carried out by lamination, that is to say a thermal process in which stacks of cards (or card sheets) lying one above the other are produced. In many cases, in particular when additional elements such as magnetic strips, photographs or the like are laminated in, there may be height differences or irregularities in the outer contour such that there are difficulties with printing and / or there are even “noticeable” height differences.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von ID-Karten der eingangs genannten Art aufzuzeigen, beim welchem auf einfache Weise optimale Kartenoberflächen herstellbar sind.The invention has for its object a method for producing ID cards of the type mentioned to show which optimal map surfaces can be produced in a simple manner.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren nach Patentanspruch 1 und eine Vorrichtung nach Patenanspruch 11 gelöst.This object is achieved by a method according to claim 1 and a device according to claim 11.
Ein wesentlicher Punkt der Erfindung liegt darin, daß die Höhenstruktur oder Kontur der Oberfläche bzw. der Deckschicht nicht durch den Kartenkörper, sondern durch eine Formfläche vorgegeben wird, welche natürlich sowohl plan (mit hoher Genauigkeit) ausgebildet als auch mit einem vorbestimmten Relief versehen sein kann.An important point of the invention is that the height structure or contour of the surface or the cover layer is not determined by the card body, but by a shaped surface, which of course can be both flat (with high accuracy) and can be provided with a predetermined relief .
Vorzugsweise wird der Kleber mittels einer Rakel auf den Kartenkörper aufgebracht bzw. aufgestrichen, so daß eine recht plane Oberfläche entsteht. Dies geschieht vorzugsweise mittels eines Schablonendruckverfahrens. Auch ein Siebdruckverfahren eignet sich!The adhesive is preferably applied or spread onto the card body by means of a doctor blade, so that a fairly flat surface is produced. This is preferably done using a stencil printing process. A screen printing process is also suitable!
Die Deckfolie wird nach einer bevorzugten Ausfuhrungsform der Erfindung vor dem Fixieren auf der Formfläche auf die Oberfläche des Klebers bzw. der Karte aufgebracht. Dadurch ist es möglich, Lufteinschlüsse recht sicher zu vermeiden. Es ist aber auch möglich und in manchen Fällen vorteilhaft, wenn die Deckfolie zuerst an der Formfläche fixiert und dann mit diesen sozusagen als Handhabungswerkzeug auf die Oberfläche des Klebers bzw. der Kante aufgebracht wird.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cover film is applied to the surface of the adhesive or the card before being fixed on the molding surface. This makes it possible to avoid air pockets quite safely. However, it is also possible and in some cases advantageous if the cover film is first fixed to the molding surface and then, as it were, applied to the surface of the adhesive or the edge as a handling tool.
Die Plastizität des Klebers wird bei einer bevorzugten Aus- führungsform der Erfindung beim oder nach dem Fixieren derIn a preferred embodiment of the invention, the plasticity of the adhesive is determined during or after the fixing of the
Deckfolie auf der Formfläche mindestens zeitweise erhöht, so daß der Kleber fließen und dadurch Höhenunterschiede leichter ausgleichen kann. Diese Plastizitätserhöhung geschieht vorzugsweise mittels mechanischer Schwingungen und/oder elektrischer und/oder magnetischer (Wechsel- ) Felder . Dadurch können die Qualität und die Herstellungsgeschwindigkeit optimiert werden.Cover film on the molding surface at least temporarily increased, see above that the glue can flow, making it easier to compensate for height differences. This increase in plasticity preferably takes place by means of mechanical vibrations and / or electrical and / or magnetic (alternating) fields. This enables the quality and the production speed to be optimized.
Wenn man die Kontur der Deckschicht nicht vollständig plan ausbildet, sondern reliefartig gestaltet, so kann man dieses, in der Formfläche vorgegebene Relief zur Bildung eines Iden- tifizierungs- oder Sicherheitsmerkmals strukturieren. Die Aufbringung von Deckfolien oder Overlays auf beiden Flächen ist natürlich ebenfalls möglich.If the contour of the cover layer is not made completely flat, but is designed in relief, this relief, which is predetermined in the molding surface, can be structured to form an identification or security feature. It is of course also possible to apply cover foils or overlays on both surfaces.
Die Deckfolie wird vorzugsweise auf der Formfläche durch ein Vakuum und/oder durch elektrostatische Kräfte fixiert, so daß ein schnelles Fixieren und ebenso schnelles wieder Lösen der Deckfolie von der Formfläche sichergestellt ist .The cover film is preferably fixed on the molding surface by a vacuum and / or by electrostatic forces, so that a quick fixing and also quick releasing of the cover film from the molding surface is ensured.
Vorzugsweise wird ein kalt aushärtbarer Kleber, insbesondere ein Epoxyharz-Kleber, verwendet. Insbesondere dann, wenn größere Höhenunterschiede ausgeglichen werden sollen, ist es möglich, den Kleber mit einem Füllstoff zu versehen, was wiederum Schrumpferscheinungen während des Aushärtens verringert.A cold-curable adhesive, in particular an epoxy resin adhesive, is preferably used. In particular if larger differences in height are to be compensated for, it is possible to provide the adhesive with a filler, which in turn reduces the signs of shrinkage during curing.
Um Lufteinschlüsse zu vermeiden bzw. zu entfernen wird das Ensemble einem Vakuum ausgesetzt.In order to avoid or remove air pockets, the ensemble is exposed to a vacuum.
Nachfolgend wird eine Ausfuhrungsform der Erfindung anhand von Abbildungen näher erläutert. Hierbei zeigen: Fig. 1 eine schematisierte Draufsicht auf einen Ausschnitt eines Bogens zur Herstellung von ID-Karten,An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of figures.

In der nachfolgenden Beschreibung werden für gleiche oder gleichwirkende Teile dieselben Bezugsziffern verwendet.In the following description, the same reference numbers are used for the same or equivalent parts.
In Fig. 1 ist ein Bogen 10 aus Kartenmaterial gezeigt, welches eine Kartenkörperschicht 11 und einen mit dieser fest verbundenen Magnetstreifen 12 umfaßt. Die Kartenkörperschicht 11 kann selbstverständlich aus mehereren, miteinander verbundenen Schichten bestehen. Auf dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Bogen 10 sind Kartenumrißlinien 13 gezeigt, die verdeutlichen sollen, daß aus einem Bogen eine Vielzahl von Karten herstellbar ist.In Fig. 1, a sheet 10 of card material is shown, which comprises a card body layer 11 and a magnetic strip 12 firmly connected thereto. The card body layer 11 can of course consist of several interconnected layers. Map outlines 13 are shown on the sheet 10 shown in FIG. 1, which are intended to illustrate that a large number of cards can be produced from one sheet.
Ein wie in Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigter Bogen 10 wird nun - wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt - mit einer durchgehenden Schicht aus einem Kleber 14 versehen, der mit einer Rakel 15 aufgestrichen wird. Es sei hier noch angemerkt, daß das Aufstreichen des Klebers vorzugswese mittels eines Schablonendruckverfahrens geschehen kann, so daß die Oberfläche 16 des Klebers 14 im wesentlichen plan ist.A sheet 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is now - as shown in FIG. 3 - provided with a continuous layer of an adhesive 14 which is spread with a doctor blade 15 becomes. It should also be noted here that the adhesive can preferably be applied by means of a stencil printing process, so that the surface 16 of the adhesive 14 is essentially flat.
In einem nächsten Arbeitsschritt wird - wie in Fig. 4 ge zeigt - eine Deckfolie 17 so auf die Oberfläche 16 des noch weichen und damit plastisch verformbaren Klebers 14 aufgelegt, daß keine Lufteinschlüsse vorliegen.In a next step - as shown in Fig. 4 ge - a cover sheet 17 is placed on the surface 16 of the still soft and thus plastically deformable adhesive 14 that there are no air pockets.
Nun wird die Gesam anordnung, also die Kartenkörperschicht 11 mit Magnetstreifen 12, Kleber 14 und aufgelegter Deckfläche 17 mittels eines Trägers 18 einer Formfläche 19 zugeführt, welche Einrichtungen (z. B. Saugeinrichtungen, elektrosta- tisch aufladbare Flächenbereiche oder dergleichen) aufweist, um die Deckfolie 17 zu fixieren. Die Deckfläche 17 bleibt nun so lange fixiert und in der beabsichtigten Gestalt, also mit einer planen Oberfläche oder einem vorbestimmten Relief gehalten, bis der Kleber 14 ausgehärtet ist. Während dieser Zeit, also solange der Kleber noch weich ist und fließen kann, werden Höhenunterschiede und innere Spannungen ausgeglichen, die beispielsweise durch Schrumpfungsprozesse während des Aushärtungsvorganges auftreten können. Dadurch also, daß die Deckschicht 17 von der Formfläche 19 fixiert ist und zwar unabhängig von der Oberflächenstruktur der Kartenkörperschicht 11 mit Magnetstreifen 12 oder dergleichen, gelingt es, in einfacher Weise die gewünschten Kartenoberflächen sicherzustellen .Now the overall arrangement, that is to say the card body layer 11 with magnetic strip 12, adhesive 14 and applied top surface 17, is supplied by means of a carrier 18 to a molding surface 19 which has devices (for example suction devices, electrostatically chargeable surface areas or the like) around the Cover film 17 to fix. The top surface 17 now remains fixed and held in the intended shape, that is to say with a flat surface or a predetermined relief, until the adhesive 14 has hardened. During this time, as long as the adhesive is still soft and can flow, height differences and internal tensions are compensated, which can occur, for example, due to shrinkage processes during the curing process. Thus, because the cover layer 17 is fixed by the molded surface 19, regardless of the surface structure of the card body layer 11 with magnetic strips 12 or the like, it is possible to ensure the desired card surfaces in a simple manner.
In einem nachfolgenden Vorgang können die Karten entlang der Umrißlinien 13 (s. Fig. 1) ausgestanzt werden. Selbstver- ständlich ist es auch möglich, einzelne Karten auf diese Weise herzustellen. Dies gilt insbesondere für den Fall, in welchem ID-Karten beim Anwender mit kleinen Geräten von Fall zu Fall hergestellt werden (z.B. Zugangsberechtigungsaus- weise, Mitgliedsausweise für kleinere Vereine usw.) .In a subsequent process, the cards can be punched out along the outline 13 (see FIG. 1). Self-confidence Of course, it is also possible to produce individual cards in this way. This applies in particular to the case in which ID cards are produced on a case-by-case basis for users with small devices (eg access authorization cards, membership cards for smaller clubs, etc.).
Es sei an dieser Stelle auch betont, daß es auf die Reihenfolge der Schritte weniger ankommt als auf die Tatsache, daß die fixierte und dadurch in ihrer Kontur bzw. Oberflächen- Struktur vorgegebene Deckfläche 17 über eine fließfähigeIt should also be emphasized at this point that the order of the steps is less important than the fact that the fixed top surface 17, which is predetermined in its contour or surface structure, has a flowable surface
Kleber-Schicht 14 mit dem restlichen Kartenkörper verbunden und so lange in dem fixierten Zustand gehalten wird, bis der Kleber seine Fließfähigkeit bzw. Plastizität im wesentlichen verloren hat .Adhesive layer 14 is connected to the rest of the card body and is kept in the fixed state until the adhesive has essentially lost its flowability or plasticity.
