ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for putting on a thin strip a bar code consisting of a plurality of parallel thin and wide bars of respective thin and wide widths and a plurality of thin and wide spaces separating the bars has a plurality of stations spaced apart along a transport path extending in a transport direction and each having a respective group of tools of the relatively thin width, the tools of each station being immediately juxtaposed with one another in the direction. The strip is stepped in the direction along the path through the stations and only selected ones of the respective tools are selected and moved by actuators down into the strip. A controller is connected to the selector and actuator unit and to the transporter for forming each of the thin bars by pressing into the strip a one of the tools. The wide bars are formed by first pressing into the strip at an upstream one of the stations another one of the thin tools to form a respective partial wide bar, then displacing the strip downstream to the next station and pressing into the strip immediately adjacent the partial wide bar at the next downstream station another such thin tool having the relatively thin width to widen the partial wide bar. These last two steps are repeated at succeeding downstream stations until the partial wide bar is of the relatively wide width.
