Description

The invention relates to a production system and a method for producing a raw card or a composite of raw cards for identification, valuable or security documents. The raw card or the composite of raw cards consists of a laminate composite which comprises at least two layers laminated to one another.

In the manufacture of data cards from a laminate composite, the individual layers or plies are provided as an endless strip on a roll and are fed in sequentially in order to then be laminated. It is also possible to provide individual layers or plies in the form of a film sheet. After laminating the individual layers to form a laminate composite, the cards are punched to a final format. Such production is also referred to as a roll process, since the individual layers for forming a laminate composite are drawn off a roll as a web-like material. Such a roller process is neither flexible nor compact in its design, since the arrangement of the individual stations for feeding the individual layers and/or printing stations and/or laminating stations are arranged in a row along a straight transport path, resulting in long production lines.

From the DE 10 2016 217 041 B3 a method is known for producing an individual identification, value or security document, in which the document has a personalized composite body which includes a document-type-specific selection of material sheets in a document-type-specific order. The individual sheets of material are made available by means of a supply station, the individual sheets of material made available being collected and collected in the order specific to the document type for the booklet of material sheets to be created. The composite body specific to the document type is then laminated and cut to size. This is followed by a personalization of the data type-specific composite body.

From the DE 10 2018 119 178 A1 describes a production system for producing data cards for security elements from a laminate composite, which is formed from two processing lines separated from one another by an interface, namely a production line and a personalization line, each of which includes a closed transport track for transporting the raw card cut to final size in a workpiece carrier . The raw card is inserted in a recess in the workpiece carrier and is thus fed through all processing stations; this results in a so-called one-piece flow.

It is the object of the present invention to specify a production system and a method for producing a raw card or a combination of raw cards for identification, valuable or security documents, which have a compact structure.

This object is achieved by a production system with the features of claim 1 and by a method with the features of claim 14. Advantageous configurations with expedient developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

The production plant according to the invention comprises in particular a provision device for the provision of at least two individual layers of plastic to be connected to one another on or on a first workpiece carrier. In addition, a first workpiece carrier transport device is present, which includes a first transport track that is guided along or through individual processing stations in order to guide the first workpiece carrier equipped with the individual layers along a production direction to or through the individual processing stations. Downstream of the supply device in the direction of production, there is a pre-fixing station in order to pre-fix the layers assembled on or on the first workpiece carrier with one another to form a foil booklet. This pre-fixing takes place, for example, by using a sonotrode, ie ultrasonic welding, or by a heating die, with the fixation preferably being applied in an area of the stacked layers that is later removed anyway in a cutting step. The production plant also includes a laminating station which is adjacent to the first transport path and is downstream of the pre-fixing station in the direction of production, in which a heating device is integrated and which is set up to laminate the film booklet to form a laminate composite. The laminating station is assigned a transfer device for removing the film booklet from or from the first workpiece carrier before lamination and positioning it between lamination sheets of the laminating station for lamination and for equipping the first workpiece carrier with the lamination composite after lamination. A handling device is downstream of the laminating station in the direction of production, which is set up to remove the laminate composite from or from the first workpiece carrier of the first workpiece carrier transport device in order to feed it to a cutting station, the cutting station being set up to cut the laminate composite into one to be subjected to multi-page trimming, in particular a 4-side trimming. The handling device is also set up to feed the trimmed lamination composite to a second workpiece carrier. Furthermore, the production plant comprises a second workpiece carrier transport device in order to transport the second workpiece carrier equipped with the trimmed lamination composite along a second transport path. Adjacent to the second transport track is a magazine device which is set up to insert the raw card formed from the trimmed lamination composite or the raw card composite formed from the trimmed lamination composite into a magazine.

Thus, in particular, there is a strip made up of several raw cards for further processing, this strip preferably being a combination of four cards in ID1 format or a combination of two cards in ID3 format. This means that the product to be inserted into the magazine has a strip format which, in particular, has an area of 104 millimeters by 278 millimeters (if it is a strip in ID3 format) or 104 millimeters by 264 millimeters (if it is a strip in ID1 format). These strips can then be further processed as desired and flexibly.

The strip preferably contains raw cards in ID 1, ID 2, ID 3 or in any other format. These formats are standardized by ISO 10373, ISO/IEC 7810 and ISO 14443, for example.

It has proven to be advantageous if the supply device has at least one supply station with a roll extractor for supplying a first layer, which has been separated from a roll of plastic web, and at least one second supply station with a sheet extractor for supplying a second layer, which has been separated from a stack of sheets was taken. In this way, it is therefore possible to use different starting formats to form the raw card or to form the composite of raw cards, which are also already used as preliminary products in other manufacturing processes.

In order to be able to ensure the most precise possible positioning of the individual layers on the first workpiece carrier, it has proven to be advantageous if the delivery device and/or each of its delivery stations includes a hole punch in order to punch the layers before they are fitted on or in the first workpiece carrier with a To provide perforation, and if the first workpiece carrier of the first workpiece carrier transport device are provided with at least one positioning pin adapted to the perforation for the position-accurate or true-to-register alignment of the individual layers on or in the first workpiece carrier. There is the possibility that there is also a plurality of holes in the individual layers or that holes are made, and that a corresponding plurality of positioning pins, in particular a number of two positioning pins, can therefore be present on the first workpiece carriers.

The use of more than one positioning pin on the workpiece carrier serves to prevent the individual plastic layers threaded onto the positioning pins from rotating.

Since the raw card or the composite of raw cards is a product that is to be used in a later ID, value or security document, it has proven to be useful if the provision device includes a thread insertion station for at least one security thread or lay up or lay in the stack of layers.

After a laminated composite has been trimmed, there are typically no longer any perforations in the individual layers, so that it has proven to be expedient if the second workpiece carriers are provided with a pocket in order to accommodate the trimmed laminated composite in the correct position.

In order to make the production plant as compact as possible, it has proven to be expedient if the first workpiece carrier transport device comprises a first return transport track, which is arranged on a level that is offset from the level in which the first transport track is located, and if at least one first workpiece carrier lifting unit is present in order to transfer the first workpiece carriers between the first transport line and the first return transport line. The use of the return transport path also offers the possibility of guiding a composite body past the individual supply stations several times in order to embed layers of the same structure in the lamination composite several times.

In a similar way, it is advantageous if, alternatively or additionally, the second workpiece carrier transport device comprises a second return transport path, which is arranged on a plane that is offset from the plane in which the second transport path is located, and if at least one second workpiece carrier lifting unit is present to move the second workpiece carriers between the second transport path and the second return transport path.

In order to keep the system as compact as possible, it has proven to be expedient if part of the first transport path also forms part of the second transport path. In this context, it is also possible for a common intermediate lifting unit to be present, which is set up to move both the first workpiece carrier and the second workpiece carrier between two transport tracks arranged on different levels.

In order to compensate for the lamination time, it is advantageous if the lamination station comprises at least two individual presses that can be operated independently of one another and that can work in parallel with one another. The laminating station is preferably designed in such a way that the tools and their laminating sheets remain in the respective individual press.

In addition to the heating device, a cooling device is preferably also integrated into the laminating station, although there are separate temperature ranges for the heating and cooling process. The present laminating station has the advantage that only the laminating sheets and the card material are heated and then cooled again, which results in lower energy consumption. The workpiece carrier does not heat up, since the pre-fixed foil booklet is removed from the first workpiece carrier with the transfer device and fed to one of the two individual presses.

In order to simplify the subsequent processing steps, it has proven to be expedient if there is a pressure device, which is adjacent to the second transport track and is located in front of the magazining device, for the application of a lacquer to the trimmed lamination composite. The positioning of the lacquer field or the several lacquer fields takes place, for example, with the aid of printer's marks, which are optically recognized by a camera.

In particular, the printing device can be a tampon printing device for the application of a signature varnish, which can be inscribed with an indelible ink in its dried state.

The advantages, advantageous configurations and effects described in connection with the production plant according to the invention apply in the same way to the method according to the invention, which is carried out in particular with the production plant described above.

With this method, too, the production system can be kept lean and compact, with all the essential steps for creating a raw card or a combination of raw cards being run through, so that at the end of the method there is in particular a partially personalized raw card or a combination of partially personalized raw cards in the magazine, which can be made available for further processing in another production plant. The film feed of the second film roll contains personalized features, in this case portrait photos. The generated card strips are therefore personalized with at least one photo. The electronic and laser personalization only takes place on downstream machines, which is why the raw cards or the composite are a "partially personalised" product. Alternatively, provision is made for non-personalized, and therefore non-personalized, raw card strips to be produced.

In order to be able to use the existing preliminary products, it has proven to be advantageous if at least a first layer is provided by a first supply station with a roll extension, which has been separated from a plastic web from a roll, and if at least a second layer is provided by a second supply station provided with a sheet extract taken from a stack of sheets.

So that the individual layers on the first workpiece carrier do not slip, it has proven to be advantageous if each of the layers is provided with a hole before the first workpiece carrier is fitted with the respective layer, the first workpiece carrier having at least one positioning pin adapted to the hole is provided, and wherein each layer is threaded onto the positioning pin with its perforation for the true-to-position or true-to-register alignment of the individual layers on or in the first workpiece carrier.

It has proven to be advantageous if at least one security thread is inserted on or in the stack of layers on the first workpiece carrier by means of a thread insertion station before the pre-fixing, resulting in a forgery-proof identification, value or security document with the provided raw card or the provided composite Raw cards can be produced.

In this context, it has also proven to be advantageous if, before inserting the raw card or the composite of raw cards, a varnish is applied to the trimmed lamination composite using a printing device upstream of the magazining device.

Further features, properties and advantages of the present invention are described in more detail below on the basis of embodiment variants with reference to the attached figure. All of the features described above and below are advantageous both individually and in any combination with one another. The embodiment variants described below merely represent examples which, however, do not limit the subject matter of the invention. It shows:

• 1 a perspective and schematic view of a production plant for producing a raw card or a composite of raw cards for identity, valuable or security documents.

In the 1 a production system 100 for producing a raw card or a composite of raw cards for identity, valuable or security documents is shown. This production plant 100 comprises a supply device 102 for supplying at least two individual layers of plastic to be joined together on or on a first workpiece carrier 104. The supply device 102 is formed from a plurality of first supply stations 130 and a plurality of second supply stations 136. They are arranged successively along a production direction 110 or a production flow. They enable the use of existing pre-products in the production of such raw cards or such composites of raw cards for ID, value or security documents.

The first supply stations 130 are provided with a roll extension 132, with each of the first supply stations 130 providing a layer made of a plastic web (preferably based on polyamide (PA) or polyurethane (PU), preferably based on polycarbonate (PC)) is separated from a roll 134. The pull-out roll 132 also has a hole punch to punch holes in the threaded film. The beginning of the film is then gripped and the roll 134 is drawn off linearly to the strip size that can be received by the first workpiece carrier 104 . The pull-off strip is then clamped, after which the foil strip is cut with a cutting unit in order to separate it.

The second supply stations 136 are provided with a sheet extractor 138, which in turn also has layers of plastic (preferably based on polyamide (PA) or poly urethane (PU), preferably based on polycarbonate (PC)), which were taken from a sheet stack 140. With this sheet extractor 138, the sheets are removed from the stack of foils, with the foils being separated by suction, by bending or by being stripped off. Mixed forms for isolation are also possible. The sheet pull-out 138 comprises in particular an alignment plate which moves under a gripper in order to ensure alignment when the foil is in the deposited state. In the present case, the sheet extract 138 has a three-axis adjustment option, with a light sensor being used to monitor the correct alignment. A hole punch is also present at these second supply stations 136 in order to make a hole in the respective sheet. The gripper of the sheet extension 138 then places the layer precisely on the workpiece carrier 104.

The workpiece carrier 104 has at least one positioning pin, in this case exactly two, adapted to the perforation, onto which the individual layers are threaded, whereby the individual layers of the supply stations 130, 136 are inserted in the correct position or in the correct register on or in the first workpiece carrier 104.

In order to ensure an efficient production flow, there is a first workpiece carrier transport device 106, which comprises a first transport path 108, which is guided along or through individual processing stations in order to transport the first workpiece carrier 104 equipped with the individual layers along the production direction 110 to or through the individual processing stations respectively.

In this context, the first workpiece carrier transport device 106 also guides the first workpiece carrier 104 to a thread insertion station 142 in order to place at least one security thread on or in the stack of layers on the first workpiece carrier 104 or to insert it therein. The thread insertion station 142 is then followed by a delivery station 136 for placing another sheet and a delivery station 130 for placing a separate strip from a roll 134, as a result of which the security thread is placed between the individual layers on the first workpiece carrier 104. If the product in the present production plant 100 is a combination of four raw cards present in ID1 format, then the security thread is applied four times in the production direction 110, for which purpose four security threads in particular are applied at the same time. However, this application unit can also be exchanged, with one configuration of the thread insertion station 142 providing for the application of a security thread perpendicular to the production direction 110; especially when a composite of raw cards in ID3 format is to be created.

A pre-fixing station 112, which is illustrated only schematically in the figure, is downstream of the supply device 102 and the thread insertion station 142 in the direction of production 110. The pre-fixing station 112 is set up to pre-fix the layers assembled on or on the first workpiece carrier 104 with one another to form a foil booklet. This pre-fixing takes place, for example, by means of a heating die or a sonotrode, as a result of which the individual layers are welded to form a film booklet. The fixing preferably takes place in an area that was cut away again in the later product of the production plant. The pre-fixing facilitates the handling of the film booklet in a laminating station 114 which is adjacent to the first transport path 108 and is downstream of the pre-fixing station 112 in the direction of production 110.

The present lamination station 114 has at least two individual presses 154 that can be operated independently of one another, as a result of which the lamination time required for lamination of the layers can be compensated for. In order to minimize the number of parts to be heated, it is advantageous if the foil booklet is heated and pressed without the first workpiece carrier 104 . For this purpose, the laminating station 114 is assigned a transfer device 116 for removing the film booklet from or from the first workpiece carrier 104 before lamination and positioning it between lamination sheets of the individual presses 154 for the lamination and for loading the first workpiece carrier 104 with the lamination composite after lamination. In the present case, the transfer device 116 is designed in the manner of a portal and is therefore set up in such a way that it can operate or load both individual presses 154 . In addition to a heating device, the laminating station 114 in the present case also has a cooling device, with separate temperature ranges being present for the heating and for the cooling process. All tools and also the lamination sheets remain with the respective individual press 154 in the present embodiment. Since only the lamination sheets and the card material are heated and cooled, there is a lower energy requirement than in systems in which the workpiece carrier 104 is also inserted into the individual presses 154 .

If the individual layers of the film booklet have been laminated to form the lamination composite and if the lamination composite has been placed back on or in the first workpiece carrier 104 by means of the transfer device 116, then the first Workpiece carrier 104 to a handling device 118 downstream of the laminating station 114 in the direction of production 110. The handling device 118 is set up to remove the laminate composite from or from the first workpiece carrier 104 of the first workpiece carrier transport device 106 and to feed it to a cutting station 120, which is also shown only schematically, the cutting station 120 being set up to subject the laminate composite to a multi-sided trimming, in particular a 4-sided to undergo side trimming.

The handling device 118 is also set up in such a way that the laminated composite, which has then been trimmed, is fed to a second workpiece carrier 124 . Since the perforation of the individual film layers was typically also cut away after the edge trimming, the second workpiece carrier 124 is provided with a pocket in which the trimmed laminated composite can be accommodated in the correct position. The second workpiece carriers 124 are transported along a second transport path 128 by a second workpiece carrier transport device 126 .

There is a printing device 156 adjoining the second transport web 128, which is only shown in outline, and which is set up to apply a varnish to the trimmed lamination composite. In the present case, this printing device 156 is in the form of a pad printing device which is set up to apply a signature varnish which, in its dried state, can be inscribed with an indelible ink. For the precise application of one or more paint fields, the lamination composite has printer's marks that are optically captured by a camera. Of the printing device 156, only a drying unit for the applied paint is shown here, with the pad printer itself not being shown.

There is also a magazining device 122 adjoining the second transport path 128, which is located downstream of the printing device 126 in the direction of production 110. The magazining device 122 is set up to insert the raw card formed from the trimmed lamination composite or the composite of raw cards formed from the trimmed lamination composite into a magazine. From this magazine, the raw card formed in this way or the composite of raw cards formed in this way can then be forwarded to another production plant for further processing, in particular for individualization.

In the present case, the workpiece carrier transport devices 106 , 126 are interlocking or overlapping, with part of the first transport path 108 also forming part of the second transport path 128 . In the present case, the overlap is provided by a common intermediate lifting unit 152, which is set up to move both the first workpiece carrier 104 and the second workpiece carrier 124 between two transport tracks 108, 144, 128, 148 arranged on different levels.

In this case, the first workpiece carrier transport device 106 has a first return transport path 144 which is arranged on a plane which is offset from the plane in which the first transport path 108 is present. At the other end of the first transport line 108 and the first return transport line 44, which in each case faces away from the intermediate lifting unit 152, there is a first workpiece carrier lifting unit 146 in order to displace the first workpiece carriers 104 between the first transport line 108 and the first return transport line 144, so that for the movement of the workpiece carrier 104 is made possible by a kind of "circular path" that extends over the two levels.

Similarly, the second workpiece carrier transport system 126 also has a second return transport path 148, which is arranged on a plane that is offset from the plane in which the second transport path 128 is located, with a second workpiece carrier lifting unit 150 also being present here in order to to move the second workpiece carrier 124 between the second transport path 128 and the second return transport path 148 . Here, too, a kind of established “circular path” is made possible for the movement of the workpiece carrier 124, which extends over the two planes.

It can be seen that in the present case the first transport path 108 and the second transport path 128 are arranged on the same level. In an analogous manner, the first return transport path 144 and the second return transport path 144 are also arranged on the same level in the present case.

In 1 Although no machine housing is shown, this is present in the present production system 100, it was only hidden for the sake of clarity. In addition, a control device, also not shown in detail, is present in order to control and regulate the individual processing stations and also the transport devices, in particular their drives.

With the method according to the invention and with the production system 100 according to the invention, the production of raw cards or composites of raw cards for identity documents, valuables or security documents can be made lean and compact th; this creates a card system that can be flexibly adapted to different card formats.
