Senkrecht zu dieser Hauptausdehnungsrichtung weist das strangförmige Material Querschnittsflächen auf. Die Gestalt einer Querschnittsfläche ist beliebig und an die Anforderungen aus einem Endprodukt angepasst.

If necessary, a cross-sectional area has an open area, so that an at least limited cavity is formed in the strand-like material along the main expansion direction.

Der Werkstoff des strangförmigen Materials ist beliebig. Dieser Werkstoff kann teilweise metallisch sein, wobei neben eisenhaltigen Werkstoffen auch NichtEisenmetalle und/oder sogenannte Buntmetalle vorhanden sein können.

Auch kann ein Kernbereich aus einem ersten Werkstoff wenigstens teilweise von einem Mantel aus einem zweiten Werkstoff umhüllt sein und/oder eine Beschichtung aus einem abweichenden Werkstoff aufweisen. Es ist von Vorteil, wenn der Werkstoff in Bezug auf seine größte Ausdehnung rechtwinklig zur Hauptausdehnungsrichtung ausreichend biegsam ist, um in eine Speichereinrichtung abgelegt bzw. um diese gewickelt zu werden.The material of the strand-like material is arbitrary.

In Kenntnis der tatsächlichen Länge eines strangförmigen Materials kann rechtzeitig ein Wechsel einer Speichereinrichtung angezeigt oder eingeleitet werden. Ebenso kann in Kenntnis einer zulässigen Zugkraft oder einer zulässigen Geschwindigkeit der Verarbeitung ein Riss des strangförmigen Materials vermieden werden. Ggf. kann aber eine höhere und wirtschaftlichere Geschwindigkeit der Entnahme/Verarbeitung gewählt werden, weil das strangförmige Material das zulässt. In Kenntnis der Oberflächenrauheit kann Schmierstoff bedarfsgerecht zugeführt werden. Bei Versorgungsengpässen kann in Kenntnis des Typs ein Ersatzmaterial verarbeitet werden, wobei eine abweichende Verarbeitungsvorschrift Anwendung findet. Die gelesenen Materialparameter versetzten diese Verarbeitungseinrichtung somit in die Lage, den Verarbeitungsvorgang eines strangförmigen Materials bzw. Wickelguts verbessert auszuführen. So wird die zugrundeliegende Aufgabe gelöst.With knowledge of the actual length of a strand-shaped material, a change of a storage device can be displayed or initiated in good time. Likewise, in knowledge of a permissible tensile force or a permissible speed of processing, a crack of the strand-like material can be avoided.

Diese Strahlung kann sowohl von der Leseeinrichtung dieser Verarbeitungseinrichtung als auch von dem elektronischen Prozessorelement ausgesendet bzw. empfangen werden. Vorzugsweise sendet die Leseeinrichtung diese elektromagnetische Strahlung. Diese elektromagnetische Strahlung weist eine geringe Reichweite auf und wird vorzugsweise mit Induktionsspulen erzeugt. Das elektronische Prozessorelement kann eine eigene Stromversorgung aufweisen, entnimmt aber vorzugsweise die zum Betrieb erforderliche Energie dieser elektromagnetischen Strahlung. Mit Hilfe dieser elektromagnetischen Strahlung werden auch Steuerbefehle und Daten zum elektronischen Prozessorelement übertragen.Particularly preferably, the active connection between the reading device and an electronic processor element is formed by electromagnetic radiation with frequencies between 10 kHz and 10 GHz. This radiation can be transmitted or received both by the reading device of this processing device and by the electronic processor element. Preferably, the reading device transmits this electromagnetic radiation. This electromagnetic radiation has a low range and is preferably generated with induction coils. The electronic processor element may have its own power supply, but preferably removes the energy required for operation of this electromagnetic radiation. Control commands and data are also transmitted to the electronic processor element with the aid of this electromagnetic radiation.

Vorteilhaft weist diese Verarbeitungseinrichtung ergänzende Einrichtungen, wie beispielsweise eine Berechnungseinrichtung sowie wenigstens eine Messeinrichtung auf. Der Herstellungsprozess kann es erforderlich machen, Eigenschaften des Vormaterials und des Endprodukts zu erfassen, auszuwerten und abzuspeichern. Insbesondere bei späterer Verlagerung einer Speichereinrichtung werden Materialparametern vorteilhaft in einem mit dieser Speichereinrichtung verbundenen elektronischen Prozessorelement abgespeichert. Diese Materialparameter stehen dann auch beispielsweise einer weiteren Verarbeitungseinrichtung zur Verfügung. Das können auch Qualitätsdaten sein. Während des Verarbeitungsvorgangs bestimmt beispielsweise eine dieser Verarbeitungseinrichtung zugeordnete Berechnungseinrichtung Werte, die beispielsweise für eine weitere Verarbeitung des strangförmigen Materials von Bedeutung sind. Auch ermittelt diese Verarbeitungseinrichtung oder eine ihr zugeordnete Einrichtung von Zeit zu Zeit Messwerte. Ermittelte Werte und/oder ausgewertete Werte werden dieser Leseeinrichtung von der Verarbeitungseinrichtung von Zeit zu Zeit übermittelt. Diese Leseeinrichtung ist daraufhin in der Lage, die erhaltenen Werte vorzugsweise mit wenigstens einem Wert, welcher kennzeichnend für den Zeitpunkt der Messung ist, in diesem elektronischen Prozessorelement abzuspeichern. Auch wird ein Ort der Messung entlang des strangförmigen Materials abgespeichert.Advantageously, this processing device has additional facilities, such as a calculation device and at least one measuring device. The manufacturing process may make it necessary to record, evaluate and store properties of the input material and of the final product. In particular, in case of later relocation of a storage device, material parameters are advantageously stored in an electronic processor element connected to this storage device. These material parameters are then also available, for example, to a further processing device. That can also be quality data. During the processing operation, for example, a calculation device assigned to this processing device determines values which are important, for example, for further processing of the strand-like material. Also, this processing device or a device associated with it determines measured values from time to time. Determined values and / or evaluated values are transmitted to this reading device by the processing device from time to time. This reading device is then able to store the values obtained, preferably with at least one value which is indicative of the time of the measurement, in this electronic processor element. Also, a location of the measurement along the strand-shaped material is stored.

Während der Verarbeitung eines strangförmigen Materials durchläuft die Verarbeitungseinrichtung verschiedene Betriebszustände. Die Verarbeitungseinrichtung stellt der Leseeinrichtung vorgegebene Signale gemeinsam mit einem Wert zur Verfügung, welcher kennzeichnend für den Zeitpunkt des Betriebszustands ist. Diese Leseeinrichtung übermittelt diese Wertepaare an die elektronische Prozessoreinheit zum Abspeichern. Vorzugsweise werden solche Betriebszustände dokumentiert, die auf den erfolgreichen Verarbeitungsvorgang hinweisen.During processing of a strand-like material, the processing device undergoes various operating states. The processing device provides the reading device with predetermined signals together with a value which is indicative of the time of the operating state is. This reading device transmits these value pairs to the electronic processor unit for storage. Preferably, those operating states are documented that indicate the successful processing operation.

Bei der zeitgleichen Verarbeitung mehrerer strangförmiger Materialien von mehreren Speichereinrichtungen kommt es vor, dass diese Speichereinrichtungen zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten des Verarbeitungsvorgangs vollständig entleert sind. Sofern die enthaltenen strangförmigen Materialien der einzelnen Speichereinrichtungen sowie die verschiedenen Entnahmegeschwindigkeiten bekannt sind, kann ein erforderlicher Wechsel einer Speichereinrichtung berechnet und beispielsweise dem Maschinenbediener mitgeteilt werden. Dieser hat dann die Möglichkeit, das Ende des verbrauchten strangförmigen Materials mit dem Anfang des neuen strangförmigen Materials zu verbinden bzw. eine automatische Verbindung zu überwachen. Diese erzeugte Verbindung kann für die Qualität des Endprodukts von Bedeutung sein. Sofern die Verarbeitungseinrichtung das hergestellte Produkt einer weiteren Speichereinrichtung zuführt, und diese ebenfalls mit einem elektronischen Prozessorelement ausgestattet ist, können als wichtig erachtete Materialparametern zu den Vormaterialien sowie zum Verarbeitungsvorgang abgespeichert werden. Das können auch Messwerte des Endprodukts zur Dokumentation der Qualität sein. Diese Daten sind mitunter für den Kunden oder eine nachgeschaltete Weiterverarbeitung von Bedeutung. Dieser Umfang der Dokumentation zu einem Endprodukt ist ohne ein zugeordnetes elektronisches Prozessorelement nicht möglich. Die dauerhafte Verbindung zwischen dem elektronischen Prozessorelement und der Speichereinrichtung vereinfacht auch die Zustellung von Daten zum Endprodukt an den Kunden oder eine nachgeschaltete andere Verarbeitungseinrichtung erheblich.In the simultaneous processing of several strand-like materials from a plurality of storage devices, it happens that these storage devices are completely emptied at different times of the processing operation. If the contained strand-like materials of the individual storage devices and the various withdrawal rates are known, a required change of a storage device can be calculated and communicated to the machine operator, for example. This then has the possibility to connect the end of the spent strand-like material with the beginning of the new strand-like material or to monitor an automatic connection. This compound produced may be important to the quality of the final product. If the processing device feeds the product produced to a further storage device, and this is likewise equipped with an electronic processor element, material parameters considered important for the materials and for the processing operation can be stored. These can also be measured values of the end product for the documentation of the quality. These data are sometimes of importance to the customer or downstream processing. This scope of documentation for an end product is not possible without an associated electronic processor element. The permanent connection between the electronic processor element and the storage device also greatly simplifies the delivery of data to the end product to the customer or a downstream other processing device.

Schließlich bietet eine in diesem elektronischen Prozessorelement abgespeicherte eindeutige Kennung die Möglichkeit zur Zuordnung zwischen einer entleerten Speichereinrichtung und ihrem Eigentümer. Insbesondere wenn eine Speichereinrichtung mehrfach verwendet werden soll, kann diese dem Eigentümer zurückgegeben werden. Die Speichereinrichtung kann vom Eigentümer anschließend neuerlich befüllt werden. Auch kann eine Speichereinrichtung maschinenspezifische Verriegelungssysteme aufweisen bzw. für solche eingerichtet sein. Für diesen Fall bietet die Vorrichtung die Möglichkeit den Rücktransport von Speichereinrichtungen mit unpassenden Verriegelungseinrichtungen zu vermeiden.Finally, a unique identifier stored in this electronic processor element offers the possibility of association between a depleted memory device and its owner. In particular, if a memory device is to be used multiple times, this may be the owner be returned. The storage device can then be filled again by the owner. Also, a memory device may include machine-specific locking systems or be set up for such. In this case, the device offers the possibility of avoiding the return of storage devices with inappropriate locking devices.

Dabei wird diese Leseeinrichtung vorzugsweise von dieser Verarbeitungseinrichtung gesteuert, sodass das Zusammenwirken von Leseeinrichtung und einem elektronischen Prozessorelement zeitlich bei Bedarf erfolgt. Im Verlauf der Verarbeitung des strangförmigen Materials überträgt diese Leseeinrichtung Materialparameter zu diesem Produkt und zu den Vormaterialien an dieses elektronische Prozessorelemant der Speichereinrichtung, weicher dieses Produkt zugeführt wird.The device is operated in such a way that this strand-shaped material processing device interacts with at least one storage device.

Ein elektronisches Prozessorelement stellt einem Qualitätsmanagementsystem Daten betreffend die Qualität des strangförmigen Materials und/oder des Produkts zur Verfügung. Zudem lassen sich Fehler des Bedienpersonals erkennen, wenn beispielsweise die Materialdaten in dem elektronischen Prozessorelement nicht der Vorgabe der Verarbeitungseinrichtung bzw. deren Verarbeitungsvorschrift entsprechen. So wird falsches oder gesperrtes Material erkannt. Der Verarbeitungsvorgang kann unterbrochen oder gar nicht erst zugelassen werden. Das Auslesen der gespeicherten Materialparameter kann grundsätzlich, vorzugsweise aber bei Bedarf erfolgen. Auch dienen diese Materialparameter der Dokumentation der Qualität des Produkts einem Kundengegenüber.An electronic processor element provides data on the quality of the strand material and / or the product to a quality management system. In addition, errors of the operating personnel can be detected if, for example, the material data in the electronic processor element does not correspond to the specification of the processing device or its processing specification.

In manchen Verarbeitungseinrichtungen wird ein metallischer Draht mit einem nichtmetallischen bzw. isolierenden Mantel versehen. Dazu weist eine Verarbeitungseinrichtung beispielsweise eine Extrusionseinrichtung für einen thermoplastischen Kunststoff auf. Ein späterer Verwender eines derart hergestellten und isolierten Drahts entnimmt dem elektronischen Prozessorelement vorteilhaft Werkstoff- und/oder Verarbeitungsdaten zu diesem extrudierten Mantel. Es können Schwankungen des Extrusionsdrucks, der Extrusionstemperatur und/oder auch Schwankungen der Wandstärke des Mantels von Bedeutung sein.In some processing equipment, a metallic wire is provided with a non-metallic or insulating sheath. For this purpose, a processing device, for example, an extrusion device for a thermoplastic material.

Variations in the extrusion pressure, the extrusion temperature and / or variations in the wall thickness of the jacket may be important.

Auch beim Verseilen von strangförmigen Gut findet die Erfindung vorteilhaft Anwendung. Zum Verseilen werden von einer Verarbeitungseinrichtung zeitgleich mehrere Stränge von mehreren Speichereinrichtungen entnommen und zu einem Seil verarbeitet. Diese Verarbeitung erfolgt unter Zug am entstehenden Seil sowie gleichzeitigem Bremsen der zulaufenden Stränge. Für die Qualität des entstehenden Seils, welches auf eine Speichereinrichtung aufgewickelt werden kann, ist die Kenntnis der Schwankungen beispielsweise der ausgeübten Kräfte oder der möglicherweise verschiedenen Bahngeschwindigkeiten der einzelnen Stränge von Belang. Diese können, ggf. auch als statistische Größen, in dem elektronischen Prozessorelement der das Seil aufnehmenden Speichereinrichtung abgespeichert werden.Even when stranding stranded material, the invention finds advantageous application. For stranding a plurality of strands are simultaneously taken from a plurality of storage devices and processed into a rope by a processing device.

Als Qualitätsmerkmal für ein solches Kabe! dienen auch die während dessen Herstellung ausgeübten Kräfte, die Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit und/oder Temperaturen. Es ist nicht ungewöhnlich, solche Verläufe zur Verringerung der Datenmenge mit statistischen Methoden zu verdichten. Derart gefilterte oder auch ungefilterte Daten können in diesem elektronischen Prozessorelement abgespeichert werden und stehen einem späteren Verwender des Kabels ohne große Umstände zur Verfügung.Even when splicing fine wires, which optionally have insulating sheaths, the invention finds advantageous application. The strands are comparatively thin and the insulating sheaths are susceptible to damage. In particular, such damage should be avoided to ensure proper functioning of the cable produced. As a quality feature for such a Kabe! also serve the forces exerted during its production, the processing speed and / or temperatures. It is not uncommon to consolidate such data reduction runs using statistical methods. Such filtered or unfiltered data can be stored in this electronic processor element and are readily available to a later user of the cable.

Bei der Herstellung von Flachbandkabeln für elektronische Geräte und für die Verwendung zur elektronischen Informationsverteilung findet das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren vorteilhaft Anwendung. Die einzelnen Adern solcher Flachbandkabel weisen einen sehr geringen Durchmesser auf. Weiterhin ist die Isolierung der einzelnen Adern untereinander von großer Bedeutung. Brüche einzelner Adern sind zu vermeiden, insbesondere da die Suche nach fehlerhaften Flachbandkabeln im eingebauten Zustand zeit- und kostenaufwendig ist. Auch können solche Flachbandkabel mit einer Verarbeitungseinrichtung hergestellt werden, der eine Extrusionseinrichtung zugeordnet ist. Vorteilhaft werden Daten betreffend die Ausführung der isolierenden Umhüllung abgespeichert. Weiter ist die Verarbeitungseinrichtung vorzugsweise mit einer Einrichtung zur Isolationsprüfung zwischen einzelnen Adern und/oder zur Messung des ohmschen Widerstands einer einzelnen Ader ausgerüstet sein. Automatisierte Qualitätsprüfungen innerhalb dieser Verarbeitungseinrichtung dienen wesentlich zur Prüfung der Qualität sowie Einsparung von Fehlerkosten. Vorteilhaft werden derartige Messwerte und/oder Daten zum Herstellungsvorgang in dem elektronischen Prozessorelement der Speichereinrichtung abgespeichert, von welcher das hergestellte Flachbandkabel aufgenommen wird.In the production of ribbon cables for electronic devices and for use in electronic information distribution method of the invention advantageously applies. The individual wires of such ribbon cables have a very small diameter. Furthermore, the isolation of the individual wires with each other is of great importance. Breakage of individual wires should be avoided, especially since the search for faulty ribbon cables when installed is time-consuming and costly. Also For example, such ribbon cables can be manufactured with a processing device associated with an extrusion device. Advantageously, data concerning the execution of the insulating sheath are stored. Further, the processing device is preferably equipped with a device for insulation testing between individual wires and / or for measuring the ohmic resistance of a single wire. Automated quality checks within this processing facility are essential for testing quality and saving on error costs.

Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Vorrichtung dient zur Herstellung eines strangförmigen Geflechts, beispielsweise eines Massebands. Bei der Herstellung eines geflochtenen Massebands bietet die Anwendung der Vorrichtung eine Reihe von vorteilhaften Leistungen:

  • Abfrage, ob Spulen 1 mit Vormaterial 2 vorhanden sind,
  • Abfage der Typen der Vormaterialien 2,
  • Abfage der Füllstände der Spulen 1,
  • Abspeichern der Länge des erzeugten und auf die Zielspule 1a aufgewickelten Massekabels 8,

In the FIG. 1 The device shown is used to produce a strand-like braid, such as a grounding strap. In the manufacture of a braided ground strap, the application of the device offers a number of advantageous benefits:
  • Query whether coils 1 with starting material 2 are present,
  • Refusal of types of materials 2,
  • Abfage the levels of the coils 1,
  • Storing the length of the generated and wound on the target coil 1a ground cable 8,
  • Warning of the machine operator when approaching unwanted levels of the coils 1 and 1a,
  • Storing operating data, quality data, batch tracking data and organization data in the electronic processor element 4 of the target coil 1a.

Mit der Verwendung weiterer Messaufnehmer 6 können zusätzliche Materialparametern gewonnen werden. Auf dessen Darstellung und der dadurch entstehenden Vorteile wird hier verzichtet.With the use of further sensors 6 additional material parameters can be obtained. On its presentation and the resulting advantages is omitted here.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Speichereinrichtung der Vorrichtung. Diese weist einen zentral zylindrischen Bereich 11 auf, um welchen das strangförmige Material (nicht dargestellt) gewickelt wird. An beiden Enden des zylindrischen Bereichs 11 sind abschließende Flansche 12 angebracht. Die Speichereinrichtung weist einen zentralen Durchgang 13 zur Verbindung mit der Verarbeitungseinrichtung auf. An einem dieser Flansche 12 ist als elektronisches Prozessorelement 4 ein RFID-tag 4 aufgeklebt. RFID steht für "Identifizierung mit Hilfe von elektromagnetischen Wellen". Ein RFID-tag kann als elektronische Schaltung aufgebaut sein, welche mit elektromagnetischer Strahlung in vorbestimmter Weise wechselwirkt. Bei Einsetzen der Speichereinrichtung in eine Verarbeitungseinrichtung nimmt der Flansch 12 mit dem aufgeklebten RFID-tag 4 eine Lage in unmittelbarer Nähe eines Lese-/Schreibkopfes der Leseeinrichtung ein. Die Reichweite der von dieser Leseeinrichtung ausgesendeten elektromagnetischen Strahlung ist derart bemessen, dass sie dieses RFID-tag 4 auch bei Rotation der Speichereinrichtung stets erreicht. Das ist nicht zwingend erforderlich, je nach Wunsch bzw. der Menge der in dem RFID-tag 4 abzuspeichernden Materialparameter. Es ist auch vorstellbar, dass die Leseeinrichtung bzw. die von ihr ausgesendete elektromagnetische Strahlung diese RFID-tag 4 nur bei bestimmten Winkelstellungen der Speichereinrichtung erreichen kann. FIG. 2 shows a storage device of the device. This has a central cylindrical portion 11 around which the strand-like material (not shown) is wound. At both ends of the cylindrical portion 11 final flanges 12 are attached. The storage device has a central passage 13 for connection to the processing device. On one of these flanges 12 is glued as an electronic processor element 4, an RFID tag 4. RFID stands for "identification by means of electromagnetic waves". An RFID tag can be constructed as an electronic circuit which interacts with electromagnetic radiation in a predetermined manner. When inserting the memory device into a processing device, the flange 12 with the affixed RFID tag 4 assumes a position in the immediate vicinity of a read / write head of the reading device. The range of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by this reading device is dimensioned such that it always reaches this RFID tag 4 even during rotation of the storage device. This is not absolutely necessary, depending on the desire or the amount of material parameters to be stored in the RFID tag 4. It is also conceivable that the reading device or the electromagnetic radiation emitted by it can reach this RFID tag 4 only at certain angular positions of the storage device.

Figur 3 zeigt einen Flansch 12 einer Speichereinrichtung einer weiteren Ausführungsform. Dieser Flansch 12 weist eine zurückgesetzte Fläche 9 zur Aufnahme eines RFID-tag 4 auf. In dieser Vertiefung ist dieses RFID-tag 4 vor schädigenden mechanischen Einflüssen weitgehend geschützt. Selbst wenn die Speichereinrichtung auf diesem Flansch 12 abgestellt wird, wirken keine schädigenden Kräfte auf dieses RFID-tag 4. FIG. 3 shows a flange 12 of a memory device of another embodiment. This flange 12 has a recessed surface 9 for receiving an RFID tag 4. In this recess, this RFID tag 4 is largely protected from damaging mechanical influences. Even if the memory device is turned off on this flange 12, no damaging forces on this RFID tag 4 act.
