Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the production of newspapers, magazines or the like products by loading printed products from receiving devices that follow one another along a production line formed from a plurality of controlled or regulated feed stations.
  • a high level of production security is a prerequisite for this and quality as well as a reliable execution of the programmed processing process. This includes, in particular, correct and complete manufacture of the products.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method according to the type mentioned at the outset, with which at the end of the manufacturing process, despite errors in the manufactured products, the programmed sequence is not impaired and the required end product can be produced in a simple manner and without interrupting the processing process .
  • this object is achieved in that the printed products optionally supplied on the production line of a receiving device are transferred to an orbit of synchronously driven receiving devices and incomplete products are replaced by identical, complete products before they leave the orbit. This procedure makes it possible to replace faulty products produced on the production line with complete products at the right place in the order selected.
  • the complete products replacing the incomplete products can be reproduced during production on the production line and those of the incomplete or. faulty products can be disposed of at a feed point formed on the conveyor line comprising the production line and the orbit, where the distance between the end of the production line and the orbit depends on the interaction of the latter and / or the arrangement and formation of the orbit.
  • the orbit can be both endless and have a front end in the conveying direction with the production line and a rear end that communicates with one or more displays.
  • the incomplete or. defective products are removed from orbit in front of the feed point.
  • a defective product can be exchanged for a complete product supplied from a storage device on the way to orbit.
  • This option is less suitable for the production of non-uniform products because a larger number of storage / feeders on the orbit reduces the meaning of the invention.
  • the solution according to the invention offers several options for the design and arrangement of the orbit in connection with the production line.
  • the receiving devices at the downstream end of the production line formed by the docking stations can be connected to an orbit carrying the receiving devices at least in a way that promotes conveyance.
  • the orbit is formed and allowed by several work cycles thereby exchanging products without causing a delay or interruption in the processing process.
  • the transfer point viewed in the conveying direction of the products on the orbit, is advantageous upstream of the feed point.
  • the finished products are removed from the device according to the invention at a delivery, which is preferably arranged on the orbit viewed in the conveying direction between the transfer point and the feed point.
  • transfer means are used between the end of the production line and the orbit, it is possible to design the latter endlessly and to arrange them adjacent to the end of the production line, so that the transfer means connect the production line and the orbit.
  • the production line opens into the orbit with its downstream end or indirectly through an extension at the transfer point, as a result of which additional transfer means are no longer required.
  • the orbit after the transfer point is designed to be helical so that it runs below the level of the production line or undermines it at the end located downstream, ie that the production line opens at least indirectly into the upstream end of the helical orbit.
  • the ends of a helix of the orbit advantageously form a feed point, the product which replaces the incomplete product can be deposited in a simple manner on the orbit from the above-mentioned receiving device into the immediately below receiving device.
  • the receiving devices can be pocket-shaped and can be designed with a bottom driven to open.
  • a disposal point for the removal of the incomplete products is provided in front of the feed point, whereby this disposal point can be designed so that the incomplete products of the same type are separated from the others.
  • the orbit advantageously has at least the length of the production path, so that at least all the supplements forming the complete products can be detected by the process according to the invention.
  • the method according to the invention and the device associated with it can be used both as a inserting machine and as a saddle stitcher, the receiving devices in the inserting machine being equipped as pockets which can be loaded from above with an opening mechanism on the bottom, and in the corresponding saddle stitcher the receiving devices as saddle-like Conditions with associated transfer means are formed.
  • a further developed helical orbit has two turns running one above the other, the production line opening into the upper turn.
  • This situation allows the receiving devices passing through the upper orbit and the receiving devices passing through the lower orbit to form a feed point downstream of the disposal point of two pocket-like receiving devices communicating approximately in the vertical direction.
  • the delivery of the finished products is at the end of the lower turns of the double orbit.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrates an embodiment of the device according to the invention.
  • H denotes the feeder of the main sheet
  • V1 to V3 are provided for side dishes or intermediate products.
  • the production line 1 is connected to a control device 2 which controls the inserting machine and monitors and controls the processing process, ie also detects defective or defective products and transmits corresponding signals for further processing.
  • Arrow 3 means the end of the production line 1, from which the products are delivered to an orbit 4. The defective products can be eliminated from the processing process as soon as they leave production line 1 or only on orbit 4.
  • HV is a regularly manufactured complete product that has been transferred from the production line 1 by means of transfer means, for example a transporter with gripping devices at a transfer point 6 to the orbit 4 or its receiving devices. After it has passed through the orbit 4, it is removed from it, for example, at a delivery 7 or only at 10.
  • An incomplete product that has been eliminated from the processing process is re-manufactured on the production line 1 (R) and then transferred by feed means 8 to a feed point 9 of the orbit 4, where the receiving device of the previously disposed of incomplete product is located.
  • This re-manufactured product R fills the gap of the product previously eliminated due to incompleteness. It is provided that the complete products HV or the re-manufactured products R are removed from the delivery path 9 of the orbit 4 at a delivery 10.
  • Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the device according to the invention, in which the production line 1 opens or merges into a helical orbit 4, the receiving devices 11 have previously been guided and fed along a production line made up of several investors.
  • Reference numeral 12 denotes the complete products coming from the production line, while 13 denotes the re-manufactured products. All products pass through the helical orbit 4. If they are defective or incomplete products, they are eliminated from the process at a disposal point 14.
  • the empty receptacles 11 remaining on the orbit 4, which are represented by empty spaces, are now fed by a post-produced complete product fed through them, which, among other things, fills the gap that has arisen.
  • the order of the products does not change because the re-manufactured product is an additional one.
  • empty space left by this is compensated for by the control system, so that no program change occurs on the display of the complete products.
  • empty spaces or disposed receptacles 11 could exceptionally also be loaded from a store 15, such a fix being able to be used primarily with uniform products. However, it is not suitable if there is a continuous production of different products on production line 1.
