Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cutting device for cross-cutting running webs in products with variable lengths, in particular in a folder arranged downstream of a rotary printing press, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • EP 03 64 864 A2 describes a generic cutting device in a folder of a rotary printing press that can be switched over from "collecting" to "not collecting”.
  • a cutting cylinder provided with two cutting knives interacts with a collecting cylinder having three cutting bars. While cutting a web into products, the respective cutting knife dips into the corresponding cutting bar.
  • the cutting device can be adjusted to different product lengths and then produce alternating product lengths.
  • a disadvantage of this cutting device is that the cutting knives perform cycloid-like movements in the cutting strips, whereby the z.
  • existing elastic plastic cutting strips are subject to high wear.
  • the cutting device has a complicated structure for adjusting to different product lengths.
  • DE 39 34 673 C2 shows a cutting device adjustable in format length.
  • a knife support beam is pivoted on a knife cylinder and a cutting bar is pivotally mounted on a counter cylinder.
  • the format length can be adjusted by changing the stroke of these swivel devices.
  • a disadvantage of this cutting device is that the cutting bars are also pivotally mounted.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a cutting device for cross cutting of running webs in signatures with variable lengths.
  • cutting knives can be used in the cutting device according to the invention, the knife edge of which is not equidistant from the axis of rotation of the cutting cylinder, such as. B. wedge-shaped, V-shaped or arrow-shaped cutting knife.
  • the result of this is that the very large cutting forces which have so far occurred abruptly are substantially reduced. This makes it possible to cut thicker webs or more layers of webs and to achieve higher production speeds.
  • the load on the cutting device caused by vibrations is reduced.
  • the cutting device according to the invention is adapted to products of different lengths by means of simple, remote-controlled drives, so that an automatic changeover, for example from non-collecting operation to collecting operation of the cutting and collecting device, is possible.
  • the cutting device according to the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below.
  • a cutting cylinder support 3 and a collecting cylinder 4 are rotatably supported about their mutually parallel axes of rotation 6, 7.
  • the cutting cylinder carrier 3 rotates simultaneously to the collecting cylinder 4 during a cutting process.
  • the cutting cylinders 8, 9 rotate counter to the collecting cylinder 4 during a cutting process.
  • there are three cutting knives 13 running parallel to their axis of rotation 11, 12 attached to each other by 120 ° and the knife edges 14 in a radius r13, z. B. r13 150 mm, are arranged concentrically to the axis of rotation 11, 12 of the respective cutting cylinder 8, 9.
  • the collecting cylinder 4 serves as a counter cylinder for the cutting cylinders 8, 9 and is therefore provided with cutting bars 16 which are fixed to the cylinder.
  • the cutting cylinders 8, 9 are driven by means of a planetary gear transmission starting from a main drive gear train.
  • a rotational speed n8 of the cutting cylinders 8, 9 is a sum of an amount of the rotational speed n3 of the cutting cylinder carrier 3 and an amount of the rotational speed n4 of the collecting cylinder 4, ie n8
  • a web 28, e.g. B. paper web, film web or textile web is guided on the collecting cylinder 4 and cut by means of the cutting knife 13 and cutting strips 16 in signatures.
  • the cutting cylinders 8, 9 and thus the cutting knives 13 rotate their respective axis of rotation 11, 12.
  • This rotary movement is carried out by means of the drive described in such a way that the respective cutting knife 13 involved in the current cutting process from the beginning to the end of the cutting process, ie from hitting the web 28 to lifting off the web 28, is approximately radial , Executes aligned movement on the axis of rotation 7 of the collecting cylinder 4.
  • This approximately radial movement has a small, parallel offset from the ideal radial direction, this offset being able to be minimized by varying the radii r3, r4 and r13.
  • Both the cutting knife 13 in question and the corresponding cutting bar 14 move at approximately web speed.
  • the cutting knife 13 moves radially towards the collecting cylinder 4, cuts through the web 28 and penetrates into the cutting bar 16.
  • the axes of rotation 6, 7, 11 and 12 and the cutting knife 13 lie on a common straight line.
  • a radial speed of the cutting knife 13 is zero and the excavation movement of the cutting knife 13 begins.
  • the excavating movement of the cutting knife 13 also takes place radially with respect to the collecting cylinder 4.
  • the cutting cylinders 8, 9 are mounted axially displaceably on the cutting cylinder carrier 3.
  • the respective cutting cylinder 8, 9 is engaged each have a pressurized cylinder, e.g. B. a pneumatic cylinder 29, 31, which are arranged on the cutting cylinder carrier 3 stationary.
  • the pressure medium required is supplied to the pneumatic cylinders 29, 31, for example by means of a rotary inlet 32 which is fixed centrally on the cutting cylinder carrier 3.
  • the pneumatic cylinders 29, 31 of the cutting cylinders 8, 9 are switched such that in the non-collecting position the first cutting cylinder 8 is in its starting position facing the first side frame 1 and the second cutting cylinder 9 is in its starting position facing the second side frame 2.
  • the planetary gears 27 of the opposing cutting cylinders 8, 9 are arranged with respect to the cutting knives 13 on the cutting cylinders 8, 9 such that in the non-collecting position of the cutting cylinders 8, 9 and the collecting cylinder 4, the cuts of the two cutting cylinders 8, 9 are offset by exactly 180 ° to one another be carried out.
  • the two cutting cylinders 8, 9 are brought into their collecting position.
  • the pneumatic cylinders 29, 31 are actuated, whereby the first cutting cylinder 8 from the starting position facing the first side frame 1 into an end position facing the second side frame 2 and the second cutting cylinder 9 from the starting position facing the second side frame 2 into a facing the first side frame 1 Axial end position be moved.
  • the cutting cylinders 8, 9 are rotated relative to one another in the circumferential direction with respect to the cutting cylinder carrier 3 the first cutting cylinder 8 in the direction of rotation and the second cutting cylinder 9 out of phase with the direction of rotation of the two cutting cylinders 8, 9.
  • the result of this is that the cutting knives 13 produce uneven, alternating cutting lengths on the collecting cylinder 4. The cut is carried out alternately before and after the cutting position of the cutting knife 13 when the knife is not being collected on the cutting bars 16.
  • the axial displacement of the cutting cylinders 8, 9 can also be done by means of other suitable drives, such as. B. electric motors, linear motors, electromagnets, etc. are executed. It is also possible to leave the cutting cylinders 8, 9 axially fixed on the cutting cylinder carrier 3 and the phase shift of the rotary movement from the cutting cylinders 8, 9 to the cutting cylinder carrier 3 or the collecting cylinder 4, for example by detachable, adjustable in the circumferential direction with respect to the cutting cylinders 8, 9 Perform planetary gears 27.
  • the cutting cylinder 8, 9 with the respective Planet gear 27 can be connected by means of a frictional clutch.
  • the planetary gears 27 of the cutting cylinders 8, 9 can be provided with toothings whose helix angles are opposite. These planet gears 27 engage axially offset in a correspondingly arrow-shaped toothed sun gear 26. For the desired opposite phase shift of the cutting cylinders 8, 9, the sun gear 26 is axially displaced, while the cutting cylinders 8, 9 maintain their axial position.
