DE102008034065A1 - Method for manufacturing hardcover binding, involves manufacturing books of different formats and different layouts at same time one behind other in machine - Google Patents

Abstract

The method involves manufacturing books of different formats and different layouts at the same time one behind the other in a machine. The emptying act is planned with a large adjustment (9), and the adjustment is carried out. The adjustments are adapted on a new product by a motor. The blocks and covers of the machine are loaded in correct sequence. The blocks and the covers are identified, and the non-matching blocks and covers are removed. An independent claim is included for a book guide for manufacturing hardcover binding.

Description

The The invention relates to a method for producing hardcover individual products and small runs in conventional design of the products.

Hardcover Books consist of a stick-bound or thread-stitched book block and a solid ceiling. The hardcover cover is made up again two cardboard and a stiffness between them, all three Parts are coated with a coating material.

The Book blocks are usually first to plan your back aligned. The back surface or the glue layer on the back is preheated. Thereafter, rounds and pressing off. The rounding is usually done in two steps. First, preformed, with a greater deformation occurs in the middle of the back. After that is rounded with round rollers. The Walkteffekt generated generates especially deformation on the sides. The combination of both results a reasonably uniform radius of the back. The right coordination of both molding processes is required. The radius must be exactly to the radius of the Formstückes the baler fit, with the rounded back is then pressed and, if necessary gets a fold pressed on the sides. When changing format usually have Fittings are exchanged .. The vote of the two Allow molding operations and the change part when pressing so far no economic single book production.

Of the Rounded block is now commonly used with forming rollers on glued round back .. This requires the forming rollers reasonably correspond to the radius of the block spine. The forming rollers are therefore an interchangeable part, which in turn is the production of Individual books not supported. After that, the backing tape invested with the capital strips on the back and pressed.

The Capital strips are attached to the backing material in one process step glued to the block before assembly. changed The block height can only be achieved by several steps in a row the new poster tape in the right block height to be provided. This is for very short runs and Individual books unacceptable. The hardcover covers need in the middle part, the Schrenz, are also rounded. Also this usually heated moldings are required, which vice versa the individual book production.

The Hardcoverherstellung in conventional design can not be economically in number with the existing on the market and known Vorrichtugen 1 and not in very small quantities.

Around Produce individual books and short runs economically To be able to do two things must be done become. The set-up time must go to zero and the first Book must already be acceptable in quality.

It is already a solution after WO 03022596 become known, with which it is possible to produce individual Hardcoverbücher. Here, however, books are produced, which have a different structure than the conventional Hardcoverbücher. This leads to acceptance problems. This proposal does not allow normal rounding and Abpressvorgang. Only books without fold edges can be made. In addition, the processing of certain coated materials is required. The proposal is not suitable for producing individual harco books of conventional design and can not serve to solve the present problem.

It are also solutions Became known to be in the book streets while retaining the conventional process steps the usual exchange parts to avoid and thus lay the foundation for the Possibility of a single-book production.

In EP 1350634 A solution is shown, which shows the avoidance of change parts for the rounding processes in hardcover production. In this case, fittings, which are usually designed as solid moldings, formed from individual mutually adjustable slats. The slats are shifted by an adjusting movement to each other so that the desired radius of the fitting is formed. The method can be used both for rounding and squeezing the block spine as preforming the Schrenzbereichs the ceiling.

Furthermore, a method according to DE19959935 A1 known for pasting and capitalizing the block back, in which the change of the form-Leimwalzen deleted. It is the backing paper of the capital strip glued and then pressed against the block back, now the shape of the back does not matter. The capital strips are glued in a conventional manner to a web of backing paper. The web is fed to a cross-cutting device and the cut strip is detected by a gripper bar, passed by a glue roller and placed on the back of the block. Thereafter, an elastic pressing takes place. This proposal comes as a partial solution to the task in question.

Furthermore, a device for Rounding and squeezing after DE102004026627A1 proposed, in which the radius can be definitely specified and no dependence between round travel, import position and position of the rounded back for pressing arises. This proposal is a step towards the possibility of coping without adjustment copies during rounding and pressing, which is the general requirement for single-book production.

Of the Invention is based on the object, a method and an apparatus to create, with the conventionally designed Hardcoverbücher economically manufactured as individual products or in very short runs can be.

The inventive object is achieved by that processing methods and devices in the book production line be used, which need no format parts.

Of Further, the solution involves the different ones Processing stations do not influence format adjustment. Each station is individually adjustable to format without that other stations or the transport must be corrected later .. This is the only way to achieve the first time right effect to reach.

blocks and blankets are synchronous at the same time in the internal material transport introduced the book production line. In the ceiling transport a memory line, for example, an intermediate magazine or a space-saving, shingled transport will be inserted, so that the blocks and the accompanying blankets at the same time arrive at the suspension position.

blocks and blankets are each on supply routes in the correct sequence fed so that it comes to the match. As security against Missing blankets or blocks must have blocks and blankets be provided with an individual label z. B ,. a barcode. Immediately after the entry of blanket and block into the machine transport she identifies. Missmatch will be ceiling and / or book block discharged. If a blanket is missing, the block is ejected, missing a block is ejected from the ceiling. The undressed Part waits in the Ausschleuspostion on the next match opportunity. The rest of the transport in the machine continues. To a number of match attempts to be determined switches the machine after the products being processed in the machine have left the machine, and block and blanket are discharged.

Of the Barcode on block and / or ceiling contains format information or it only contains an identification with their help to resort to data stored in a central file can .. run blanket and block into the machine after a match, the stations are continuously running the blocks and Ceilings adjusted to format. For larger adjustment amounts This is an empty cycle erfoderlich, so that the adjusting motors time enough have to create the adjustment paths. Whether a blank cycle is inserted becomes, decides the format information. The identification of Block and ceiling also allows information about the equipment of the book, whether it is rounded, for example, gets capital strips or any special work done become. The corresponding stations are in accordance with Passage of the block and ceiling activated in the machine. ultimately Books can be of different format and different Equipment at the same time be in the machine.

While in previous book streets for the production of normal editions Some specimens are used for fine tuning until the desired Quality exists exists for individual books the demand "first time right". fine adjustments for adjusting the setting values to the material properties such as z. B. the compressibility of the book block will be automatic performed. This requires the identification of block or ceiling the enable information required. these can For example, in a barcode or in a central file available be.

The blankets D are on a feeder transport 1 created in the right sequence and in position 2 In case of mismatch they will go over the discharge 2a discharged. The ceiling will then be in a storage area 3 transported in order to arrive synchronously with the block in the hanging station. The memory section can be executed, for example, as an intermediate magazine. Alternatively, a shingled onward transport is conceivable. Thereafter, the pre-processing of the ceiling is done: the rounding of the Schrenzes. position 4 , For this purpose, a continuously adjustable to radius of curvature, heated molding is used. The preformed blanket will then continue the Einhängeposisition 5 fed.

The blocks are on the feed belt 6 increased in the right sequence. The blocks can also come in line from a block production line (perfect binder, three-knife trimmer). On the feed belt 6 the ridges are expediently preheated by heating means 6a to achieve high-quality rounding. The blocks are now identified in the station 7 and can be ejected there at Missmatch 7a ,

During the feed transport the block is preferably lying flat, they are conveniently transported in the actual machine with the back up. They will be in the station 8th erected and fed to the main transport.

There is initially an orientation 9 so that the block back is fed flat and in the correct height position to the processing stations. The import level does not change due to format.

The first processing station 10 is the rounding and squeezing. It takes place without the use of change parts. The pressing is done with a continuously adjustable to a round radius fitting. The passage of the block is continued with the stations 11 Gluing, capital, pasting and Begazen avoiding exchangeable Form-Leimwalzen, and continue with the station 12 : Pressing on the backing material and the station 13 , which can be provided for special functions. No parts are used in any of the stations. The block then reaches the hanging station 5 where it is connected to the ceiling after full gluing of the side surfaces and leaves the machine on the display 14 to the folding machine 15 , Even with this find no format parts use.
