Description

The invention relates to a system having a processing machine and at least one lifting device and a method for changing at least one punching tool of at least one punching cylinder of a processing machine according to the preamble of claim 1 and according to the preamble of claim 20.

In processing machines for sheets, in particular sheets of corrugated cardboard, various processing units are used, for example rotary processing methods due to their speed advantages. The sheets are charged with pressurized fluid by means of at least one application unit and their mass and/or shape and/or contour are additionally or alternatively changed by at least one shaping device. A particularly suitable application method is flexographic printing. Flexographic printing is characterized by a form cylinder with a flexible printing form. A possible shaping device is usually a punch, in particular a rotary punch.

Rotary punches usually have punching units with at least one punching cylinder and at least one counter-punching cylinder. Punching cylinders have punching tools, for example with knives, which process the substrate during operation and also come into contact with the anvil cylinder. The counter-die cylinders have elastic and resistant coatings or die-cut coverings. When changing jobs, the punching tools have to be exchanged.

The DE 10 2020 123 402 B3 shows a processing machine with at least one processing unit comprising at least one tool-carrying punching cylinder and at least one counter-punching cylinder. The punching tool can be changed.

For example, through the DE 10 2010 006 878 A1 a tool change for flatbed punches is known. A punching system with a punching device, a stripping device and a blank separating device is disclosed, each of which is equipped with exchangeable, essentially plate-shaped tools. The tools arranged in cassettes are lifted from a trolley by means of a lifting device designed as a lifting column and raised above the height of a pedestal of the punching system so that the cassettes can be pivoted in the direction of the punching device. The tools are then lifted from the cassettes and attached to their working positions.

The invention is based on the object of creating a system having a processing machine and at least one lifting device and a method for changing at least one punching tool of at least one punching cylinder of a processing machine.

The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1 and claim 20. The dependent claims show advantageous developments and/or versions of the solution found.

A system is provided having a processing machine with at least one lifting device. The processing machine has at least one punching unit for processing the substrate. The at least one punching unit has at least one punching cylinder. The at least one lifting means has at least one changing position and at least one maintenance position. The at least one changing position is arranged in the vertical direction above the at least one maintenance position. The at least one lifting means is designed to adjust at least one storage location of the punching tool in the vertical direction.

In a method for changing at least one punching tool of at least one punching cylinder of a processing machine, at least one tool carrier has at least one storage location for a punching tool, preferably at least one storage location for a punching tool to be replaced and/or at least one storage location for a punching tool to be replaced. At least one storage location, preferably the at least one storage location with the punching tool to be exchanged, is arranged in at least one changing position by adjustment in the vertical direction by means of at least one lifting device.

The at least one lifting means is advantageously arranged on the at least one punching unit. Preferably additionally or alternatively, the at least one lifting means is offset along the transverse direction to the at least one punching unit. At least one punching tool to be exchanged or at least one punching tool to be exchanged is advantageously arranged in a storage position on at least one storage location of the at least one tool carrier. The at least one punching tool to be replaced is preferably removed from its working position on the at least one punching cylinder and/or the at least one punching tool to be replaced is positioned in the working position on the at least one punching cylinder.

A space-saving arrangement of the system advantageously follows. Advantageously the necessary walking distances for the operator are shortened and the handling of the punching tool is simplified. Removing and/or putting down the punching tool on the at least one storage location is advantageously simplified. Advantageously, the operator can work ergonomically.

A tool carrier for punching tools is provided. The tool carrier preferably has at least three storage locations for storing at least one punching tool each. At least one storage location of the at least three storage locations preferably has at least one pull-out element. The at least one pull-out element can preferably be pulled out and/or pulled out in the longitudinal direction of the storage location. At least one punching tool to be exchanged in a processing machine is preferably arranged in a storage location of at least three storage locations of at least one tool carrier. The at least one storage location with the at least one punching tool to be exchanged preferably has at least one pull-out element. The at least one pull-out element is preferably moved in the longitudinal direction of the storage location from a storage position to an extended position. The at least one punching tool to be exchanged is preferably removed from the at least one pull-out element arranged in the pulled-out position.

Further advantages that can be achieved with the invention are, in particular, that the at least one pull-out element can be and/or is pulled out in the longitudinal direction. This advantageously results in a simple removal and/or placement of the punching tool on the at least one storage location. Advantageously, this allows the operator to work ergonomically. Advantageously, the tool carrier is designed to save space and allows the operator enough space to handle the punching tool during the change.

The processing machine 01 is preferably embodied as a sheet-fed processing machine 01, i.e. as a processing machine 01 for processing sheet-type substrate 02 or sheets 02, in particular sheet-type printing material 02. For example, the sheet-fed processing machine 01 is configured as a sheet-fed printing machine 01 and/or as a sheet-forming machine 01 and/or as a sheet-fed punching machine 01 educated. Processing machine 01 is more preferably embodied as a corrugated cardboard sheet processing machine 01, i.e. as a processing machine 01 for processing sheet-type substrate 02 or sheets 02 made of corrugated cardboard 02, in particular sheet-type printing material 02 made of corrugated cardboard 02.

The desired or required end product, which is preferably produced by further processing of the respective panel, is preferred here, a folding box and/or packaging. Unless an explicit distinction is made, the term sheet-shaped substrate 02, in particular a printing material 02, specifically sheet 02, is used here to mean any flat substrate 02 or any substrate 02 that is present in sections, i.e. also substrates 02 that are in the form of panels or plates, i.e. also panels or plates, be included.

This preferably prevents the operator from having to hold the at least one pull-out element 927 in the extended position, particularly in a preferred combination when the at least one pull-out element 927 automatically moves from the at least one extended position to the at least one storage position. For example, the at least one pull-out element 927 has the at least one retaining element and/or at least a structure complementary to the at least one holding element. Preferably, depending on whether the at least one pull-out element 927 has the at least one holding element or its complementary structure, another component of a system outside of the at least one tool carrier 926 has an associated counterpart, i.e. either the complementary structure or the at least one holding element. The at least one holding element and its complementary structure preferably work together, preferably against a force that is directed in such a way as to move the at least one pull-out element 927 into the storage position. The at least one lock of the at least one pull-out element 927 arranged in the pulled-out position is preferably a component of the rail guide system.

The at least one punching tool 915 to be exchanged is preferably removed from the at least one pull-out element 927 arranged in the pulled-out position. For example, the removal is carried out by at least one operator, for example manually. The at least one pull-out element 927 is preferably held in the pulled-out position by the at least one catch and/or with the at least one holding element. This preferably prevents the at least one pull-out element 927 from being automatically transferred from the pulled-out position to the storage position. Preferably after the at least one punching tool 915 to be replaced has been removed and/or preferably after the at least one punching tool 915 to be replaced has been arranged on the at least one pull-out element 927, the at least one pull-out element 927 is placed in the storage position, starting from the pulled-out position. The at least one pull-out element 927 preferably moves automatically, preferably by means of the at least one rail guide system, more preferably by means of the rail guide system that has the incline, from the at least one extended position to the at least one storage position. The at least one pull-out element 927 preferably moves from the pulled-out position into the storage position under the influence of gravity.

Usually, in particular when changing jobs, the at least one forme cylinder 901 is already occupied with a punching tool 915 before the at least one punching tool 915 to be changed is changed. Before the at least one punching tool 915 to be replaced is removed from the at least one tool carrier 926, the at least one punching tool 915 to be replaced is preferably removed from the at least one forme cylinder 901 and preferably placed in at least one storage location of the at least one tool carrier 926. The at least one punching tool 915 to be exchanged from processing machine 01 is preferably placed in the at least one storage location of the at least one tool carrier 926 without a punching tool 915 to be exchanged. The at least one punching tool 915 to be replaced is preferably set down before the at least one punching tool 915 to be replaced is removed from the at least one tool carrier 926. The punching tool 915 to be replaced is preferably removed from the at least one forme cylinder 901, which occupies the working position of the punching tool 915 to be replaced. The punching tool 915 to be replaced is preferably attached to the position thus freed up, preferably before at least one other punching tool 915 to be replaced, which is arranged on the at least one forme cylinder 901, is removed from the at least one forme cylinder 901.

The at least one tool carrier 926 preferably has the at least three storage locations. A punching tool 915 to be exchanged is preferably arranged in at least two of the at least three storage locations. At least one storage location of the at least three storage locations is preferably free of a punching tool to be replaced before the punching tool 915 to be replaced is set down for the arrangement of the punching tool 915 to be replaced.

The at least one storage location on which the punching tool 915 to be replaced is placed is preferably arranged in the extended position before the punching tool 915 to be replaced is placed. This preferably makes it easier to set down the at least one punching tool 915 that is to be replaced.

Each storage location of the at least three storage locations of tool carrier 926 preferably has at least one pull-out element 927, for example at least two pull-out elements 927 each, which can be moved during the removal of a punching tool 915 to be replaced from this storage location and/or while a punching tool 915 to be replaced is set down in this storage location is and/or is being placed in the extended position. This advantageously makes it easier to remove and/or put down the at least one punching tool 915.

The at least one locking element of tool carrier 926 preferably prevents an extension element 927 from a second storage location of the at least three storage locations from being pulled out as soon as the at least one extension element 927 of a first storage location of the at least three storage locations is arranged in the extended position. This preferably prevents a shift in the center of gravity of the at least one tool carrier 926, which would lead to the tool carrier 926 tipping.
