Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folder according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • tape guidance systems in folders to guide the signatures or later products around the individual cylinders.
  • Such tape control systems are e.g. B. shown in DE 36 28 411 A1 and partially wrap around the circumference of all cylinders arranged in the folder and pass the signatures or products on to the paddle wheel and the sheet delivery.
  • the belts of a belt guidance system on the collecting cylinder are each arranged in the free spaces between adjacent grippers. It is thus possible to process a paper web strand of variable width coming in from the turning bars via a longitudinal folding funnel and mixed from different paper webs.
  • a folder has two side frames 1, 49 arranged parallel to one another for receiving the cylinders shown, of which only one side frame 1 is shown in FIG. 1.

  • On the collecting cylinder 16 can optionally one on its circumference z. B. equipped with three stapling heads 19.
  • the belt guidance system 13 continues to surround the signatures (not shown in FIG. 1) until a five-part jaw cylinder 20 is reached, which is equipped with five known jaw systems 21 distributed over its circumference.
  • the folding jaw cylinder 20 is followed by a three-part gripper cylinder 23 equipped with three known gripper systems 22, which feeds the cross-folded and possibly cross-stitched products via a belt guide system 24 arranged around the folding jaw cylinder 20 and the gripper cylinder 23 to a first paddle wheel 26 with a first cross-fold delivery 27 .
  • Another belt guide system 31, 32 is arranged after the gripper cylinder 23.
  • the products can alternatively be fed to a second paddle wheel 34 and a second transverse fold delivery 36 via a deflection roller 33.
  • the belt guide system 32 touches both the circumference of the jaw cylinder 20 and that of the gripper cylinder 23 and that of the deflection roller 33 and is guided to the second paddle wheel 34.
  • a known paper guide device 38 may be arranged between the collecting cylinder 16 and the jaw cylinder 20 can be in the gusset behind the line of contact of both cylinders 16, 20 a known paper guide device 38 may be arranged.
  • a right and a left section of the collecting cylinder 16 is shown with the bands 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 of the band guiding system 13 lying against the circumference of the collecting cylinder 16 (FIG. 2).
  • the tapes 41 to 46 shown each have a width b and are shown to represent a plurality of tapes.
  • a distance i (gap) between two bands, e.g. B. 41, 42, is equal to or smaller than the width b of a band, for. B. 41, 42.
  • a line 48 is seen in the production direction C, a center line of the collecting cylinder 16 is illustrated.
  • the side frames of the machine frame are indicated and designated 1 and 49, in which axle journals, not shown, of the collecting cylinder 16 are mounted.
  • the axis of rotation of the collecting cylinder 16 is designated 39.
  • the belts 41 to 46 are guided in respective spaces d between adjacent grippers 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58 of the respective gripper system 17 on the outer surface of the collecting cylinder 16, which in turn are shown as representative of a plurality of grippers of a gripper system 17.
  • the maximum width of a signature 11, 12 that can be conveyed under the belt guidance system 13 is designated by e.
  • the signatures 11, 12 symbolically indicated in FIG. 2 each have a width f, which is smaller is the maximum possible width e of a signature (Fig. 2).
  • a minimum width f can be less than 200 mm, while a maximum width g can be greater than 500 mm.

  • a potentiometer 74 fixed to the frame is connected on the one hand to the motor 69 and on the other hand via a cable 76 to the computer 73.
  • the turning bar 63 is thus in the axial Direction adjustable in a range h.
  • the paper web 3 is guided over the turning bar 63 shown, while the paper web 4 is fed over a turning bar of the same type, not shown.
  • a pair of pull rollers 9 is indicated symbolically in FIG. 3.
  • a paper web strand 6 can also consist of more than two paper webs 3, 4.
  • a possible lateral running of the longitudinal edges 83, 84 of the individual paper webs 3, 4 is monitored by photoelectric cells 77, 78, which each interact with a light source 79, 81 applied to a voltage U.
  • a course of only one paper web 3, 4 by a presettable amount is thus already indicated by the current flow generated by the photocells 77, 78 being interrupted.
  • the photocells 77, 78 are each connected to the computer 73 via a voltage-pulse converter 61, 62 via a cable 80, 82, which triggers an interference signal or immediately causes a machine stop.
