Definitions

  • DE 27 04 813 A1 is known from the prior art, which discloses a folder for rotary printing presses with a magazine cutting option.
  • an additional pair of additional rollers, a control tongue and a further paddle wheel are accommodated beneath the roller gap between a collecting cylinder and a cutting cylinder in an insert that can be moved into the folder base frame. If the magazine cutting unit is in operation, the puncture needles on the circumference of the collecting cylinder can also be put out of operation.
  • the components included in an additional unit are when the Magazine cutting unit removed from the folder. With this folder, an additional module has to be moved into and out of the folder with every production change from cross fold to tabloid production and vice versa.
  • the common copy formats can be produced by decoupling the drives of the cutting and folding systems from the drive of the pulling devices, without having to make any changes.
  • the traction devices can feed the material web depending on the format, while the cutting and cross-folding systems work in time. Since the format is adjusted via actions on the drives of the pulling or cutting and cross-folding device, punctures and their Format adjustment can be completely dispensed with.
  • the deflectable transport belts provided after the separating members, the only longitudinally folded copies - for example 4 x 4 pages - can be guided directly into a delivery paddle wheel without requiring the additional equipment of the folder with insertion modules or the like. Since the deflection of the product flow takes place after the cut, it is also possible to dispense with additional cross-cutting devices, which make the folder considerably more expensive.
  • the separating members are designed as cutting cylinders which interact according to the principle of scissors cutting.
  • the hack cut previously customary can be eliminated by means of a sawtooth knife, since this previously made it necessary to separate edge areas on the finished product in a separate production cut, also due to puncture punctures.
  • the scissor-cut principle combined with longitudinal cutting devices, the product can now be trimmed completely during production in the folder, which is of particular interest, for example, for envelope production.
  • the other subclaims relate to a delivery belt system which extends under the folder cylinder part and the second longitudinal folding device, and to the longitudinal cutting circular knife arranged between the upper and lower pulling rollers in front of a pair of cutting cylinders.
  • the material web running into the folder from above from a hopper tip 1 of a first longitudinal folding device provided in the superstructure 3 is gripped by a pair of upper feed rollers 4.
  • the material web can also consist of several web strands brought together in the superstructure 3 from a plurality of longitudinal folding devices.
  • the web of material entering a base frame of a folder formed from side walls 2 is conveyed in the direction of a pair of cutting cylinders 9 by upper feed rollers 4 and lower pull rollers 6.
  • Longitudinal cutting knives 5 are provided between the upper feed rollers 4 and the lower pull rollers 6, which are displaceable perpendicular to the web running direction and divide or score the material web.
  • the upper feed rollers 4, which cooperate with the lower pull rollers 6 via a belt drive, are driven by a separate drive 7.
  • a pair of profiling rollers is attached below the lower pulling roller 6, with which the leading end of the material web can be correctly guided into the gap between the cutting cylinders 9 by embossing a stiffening profile.
  • the cutting cylinders 9 operate according to the principle of a sawtooth cut or else a scissor cut, as a result of which a finish cut of the item still to be folded can be achieved at this early point in time because of the quality of the cut.
  • a plurality of cutting knives are arranged on the circumferential surfaces of the cutting cylinders 9, each working in pairs. By means of a suction device assigned to the cutting cylinders 9, any material web residues that arise during the cutting can be easily removed.
  • the cutting cylinders 9 are operated by a drive 10.
