Definitions

  • the invention lies in the field of printing technology and relates to an arrangement for producing, conveying and further processing tabloids or two and multiple folds.
  • the print products produced by the rotary press are often converted into the form of tabloids, i.e. single or several printed sheets folded once, transferred and thus fed to further work steps.
  • the systems set up for such processing processes are therefore specially adapted to these processing formats.
  • end product is to be understood here to mean printing products as they are present in an arrangement according to the invention, at the exit of one, a forwarding state generally being reached at this exit.
  • starting product is to be understood to mean all printed products as they are fed to an arrangement according to the invention, in order then to be converted into end products, ie generally tabloids. It goes without saying that, for example, two-folds or, if need be, also multiple folds can be supplied as starting products. However, it must then generally be accepted that the deformations mentioned at the beginning of the collar or the second fold already occur.
  • end products as the term is understood here, can also be added to further work steps.
  • tabloids are fed in by a conventional rotation at a certain speed v, this means that they basically have to be further processed at the same speed v.
  • the desired end products generally have a relatively large volume of, for example, 300 pages. This further processing, especially in the case of such extensive end products, sometimes requires relatively slow work steps, so that the required processing capacity cannot be achieved by a long way.
  • complex measures make it possible to increase the capacity within certain limits, for example by providing buffering after the rotation or by dividing the product stream into several individual streams.
  • these measures require a relatively large amount of effort and lead to extensive adjustments to the overall system.
  • a innovative processing and funding process used. Contrary to conventional systems that use serial conveying, for example as a stream of shingles and also process individual printed products serially, the printed products are to be conveyed and processed in groups in clusters. Such a funding process is described in more detail in European patent application No. 89115751.3 (publication No. 358066) and reference is made in full to the details given there for details. This means that the advantages of serial funding can basically be retained, but the processing capacity can be increased significantly.
  • the large processing capacity makes it possible to fold the tabloids into smaller formats only in the course of the last working steps, especially after the tabloids have been cut open, and to economically produce small-format print product formats in offset printing. It must be noted that the new method solves the problem of very different processing capacities of the individual system components.
  • the starting products are fed continuously, preferably clocked, via a conveyor device, here a clock conveyor 21, to a conveyor conversion station 20.
  • This conversion station 20 is used to transfer the starting products, which are serially supplied here in a conventional manner, into printed product clusters.
  • a print product cluster is to be understood here to mean a group of at least two individual print products which are processed in parallel in at least a partial route or a partial process. It should be emphasized that parallel processing is understood to mean functional parallelism , ie the individual printed products of such a cluster are simultaneously subject to identical or functionally related work steps. The mutual arrangement of the printed products of a cluster can vary.
  • the printed products are preferably arranged next to one another and parallel to one another in one plane.
  • the processing of the printed products of each cluster is thus carried out in dependence on the cluster cycle T '.
  • This is in contrast to the division of a conveyor line into two or more parallel lines in printing plant conveyor technology, which may have a geometric parallel guidance, but which alone have the function of reducing the conveyor speed of the feed line.
  • no attention is paid to the simultaneous processing of a cluster, ie a functionally related unit of printed products.
  • This further processing is also to be distinguished from methods which combine several printed products, for example an inserting method, in order to subsequently promote or process them together as a unit.
  • each individual printed product is processed in parallel in a cluster, but each starting product is processed "on its own", nota bene in each case in a functionally dependent manner together with the other printed products of the cluster .
  • the function of this conveying conversion station 20 can also be understood as the conversion of, for example, a clocked and serially conveyed scale stream into a cluster stream, which is conveyed at most with a changed clock.
  • the work steps described above are applied simultaneously to the entire cluster, ie the products contained in a cluster are processed in parallel.
  • Conventional workstations can be used to carry out the individual work steps, with the only requirement that they can process the printed products of an entire cluster at the same time.
  • the size of a cluster can vary depending on the application. The size of a cluster is preferably also selected as a function of the cycle or conveying speed T '(cluster cycle) desired for cluster processing.
  • the cluster cycle T ' can be increased or the conveying speed of the printed product clusters can be reduced, so that the subsequent steps can be carried out at the required speed. It is a great advantage of the method according to the invention that the individual work steps, depending on the size of the clusters, can take place relatively slowly. This enables cost-effective, slow-working individual components, even in very fast overall processes to use. In addition, interface problems that arise due to different processing speeds of the individual components are largely avoided. As can be seen from FIG.
  • the starting products, after they have been converted into a cluster of 4 are cut by a device 22 for cutting the tabloids, then by an envelope feeder 23, a stapling device 24, a folding device 25 and finally by a side trimming device 26 out.
  • the respective work steps can take place in any sequence or can also be suppressed or omitted, so that depending on the function selected, different types of end products are available at the exit 27 for parceling and forwarding.
  • further functions can be provided or the end products can also be fed to a further conveyor device, which allow a subsequent, remote processing process.
  • FIG. 3 now shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention.
  • Starting products are fed from a buffer arrangement 18, for example a buffer as shown in the CH patent application 580 / 88-6, or an feeder via a conveyor 1 to two processing stations 30 ', 30''.
  • a buffer arrangement for example a buffer as shown in the CH patent application 580 / 88-6, or an feeder via a conveyor 1 to two processing stations 30 ', 30''.
  • the device is explained on the basis of a system with a clocked feed, the printed products can of course be transported continuously in an analogous manner by means of other conveying means and only gripped individually for conversion into printed product clusters and converted into clocked processing.
  • the conveying cycle of the printed products (system cycle) is denoted by T.
  • the printed products are each fed to a conveyor conversion station 20 ', 20''.
  • printed products are removed from a linear feed at two different locations per printing product, for example by picking out individual starting products with a gripping device.
  • the feed can also be divided into two conveyor sections in a conventional manner by means of a switch, the latter each supplying a conversion station 20 ′, 20 ′′.
  • the individual printed product clusters 2, indicated here with four printed products, for example, are shown in their various transport or processing positions.
  • the individual processing options are not specifically highlighted here and reference can be made to FIG. 2 in this regard.
  • There are two feed devices 29 ', 29'' which supply the envelope feeders with envelopes.
  • further sub-products can also be supplied, possibly via additional feeds, and merged with the printed products of the clusters in any manner, for example by inserting them. It is therefore possible to combine entire print product clusters, ie several print products at the same time, which leads to very high work capacities.
  • the clusters are inside of the processing systems 30 ', 30''transported and / or processed with a cluster cycle T' or T ''. In many cases the cluster clocks T 'and T''will be the same size. On the other hand, if, for example, the processing systems 30 'and 30''do not carry out identical work steps, it may be desirable to promote the clusters within the two systems with a different cycle.
  • Devices 31 ', 31''for converting the clusters can in turn be present at the two outputs 27' and 27 ''. In this way, a new serial promotion is possible in a simple manner.
  • the cluster-wise processing of the printed products with a cluster cycle T 'or T'' enables, for example, a simple return to the original system cycle T. This means that such a processing system 30, which requires relatively slow work steps, such as stapling extensive printed products, can be easily integrated into an overall process to get integrated.
  • the method according to the invention is particularly suitable in an overall system with a system clock T. It is then easily possible to link the cluster clock T 'or T' 'with the system clock T.
  • a central control then makes it possible, for example, to control the conveyor conversion devices in a simple manner and to convert the serial to parallel, group-wise processing, or to convert the clusters back into serial conveying or serial processing with isolated printed products or a stream of shingles . For example, it is also easily possible to carry out buffering in this way.
  • each cluster is continued by one work or transport unit for each clock cycle. If the processing system contains a very slow process, a print product cluster can be used for this step remain there for more than one clock cycle. For this it is necessary that the ratio of the cluster clock T 'or T''to the system clock T is so large that the processing system allows buffering. For this purpose, the cluster cycle T 'or T''in the processing system is selected such that T' divided by T is less than the number of printed products per cluster. If, on the other hand, the cycle in the processing system is just as large as the ratio of the system cycle multiplied by the number of printed products per cluster, the feed and processing system have an identical conveying capacity.
  • FIG. 4a now shows the conversion of starting products serially conveyed by means of a clock conveyor into clusters of three printed products each.
  • every third specimen is taken from three different conversion stations 19 ', 19' ', 19' ''.
  • three starting products are taken from each of these conversion stations and conveyed or processed next to each other as a cluster.
  • the individual printed products are shaded differently for the sake of clarity, the initial products fed in this way are identical products.
  • the removed printed products are preferably arranged next to one another and parallel to one another within a cluster. It is easily possible to use conventional switches to combine the printed products combined in the individual conversion stations into clusters on a common conveyor line in order to obtain a single cluster stream.
  • FIG. 4b shows a further example of a conveyor conversion device which converts the serial scale stream 3 into clusters to four starting products.
  • every second and a total of four printed products are removed in a first conversion station 19 '.
  • the same conversion process takes place in the second conversion station 19 ′′.
  • the processing stations 30 ', 30' 'or their conveying means 36-46, 50, 51 are preferably arranged transversely to the conveying system 1, so that a plurality of processing stations or conveying conversion stations 20', 20 '' next to one another in a simple manner can be arranged.

  • the transport of the clusters in this exemplary embodiment runs on at least one section 32 ′, 32 ′′ at right angles to the original transport direction after the conversion stations 20 ′, 20 ′′.
  • Such a deflection of the direction of transport Cluster is required, for example, if this is necessary due to the accessibility at a processing station.
  • FIG. 5 now shows schematically an exemplary embodiment for the conveyance of printed product clusters 2 with four printed products.
  • the printed products fed to the latter are separated by means of a feeder 5, which is shown only schematically in this figure. It must be noted that investor 5 has been shown in a greatly reduced form for the sake of clarity.

  • Such a feeder 5 and the type of separation can be configured in a conventional manner.

As can be seen from the drawing, eight such chain strands 36 are provided here to promote a cluster with four printed products each.
