Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Druckbogenanleger für Papierbogen.The invention relates a sheet feeder for paper sheets.

Bei Anlegern von Falzmaschinen, Sammelheftern und/oder Zusammentragmaschinen für das Herstellen von Zeitschriften, Büchern, Broschuren oder dgl. werden bei Störungen während der Verarbeitung die beeinflussten Werte manuell (auch bei stillstehenden Maschinen) eingestellt und verstellt. Das Einstellen der Druckbogenanleger ist nicht nur zeitraubend sondern mit Unproduktivität verbunden und wird durch komplexe, für das Personal teilweise nicht überschaubare Zusammenhänge oft weiter erschwert.For investors in folding machines, saddle stitchers and / or gathering machines for the production of magazines, books, Brochures or the like are in the event of faults during the Manually process the affected values (even when they are at a standstill Machines) adjusted and adjusted. The setting the sheet feeder is not only time consuming but also with Unproductivity and is connected by complex, for that Personnel, sometimes unclear relationships, often continue difficult.

Darüberhinaus leidet die Genauigkeit und Kontrolle bei einem manuellen Vorgehen und dadurch auch die Funktionssicherheit. Furthermore, accuracy and control suffer from one manual procedure and thereby also the functional safety.

Eine Überwachung des Verarbeitungsprozesses erweist sich als ebenso schwierig.Monitoring the processing process proves to be equally difficult.

Eine nach der WO 93/03990 bekannte Einrichtung weist an endlos umlaufenden Ketten befestigte Greiferbrücken auf, mit denen Druckbogen aus einer Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine auf einen Auslagestapel überführt werden. Zur schonenden Uebergabe der Druckbogen auf den Auslagestapel wird eine den Oeffnungszeitpunkt der Greiferbrücken steuernde Greiferöffnungskurve und die Saugkraft einer zur Abbremsung der Druckbogen bestimmten Saugwalze von einem Rechner gesteuert, dem die Masse der Druckbogen und die Umlaufgeschwindigkeit der Greiferbrücken als Eingabewerte vorgegeben werden. Mit diesen fest vorgegebenen Eingabewerten kann die bekannte Einrichtung jedoch nicht auf Beeinträchtigungen des Verarbeitungsprozesses reagieren, die dadurch hervorgerufen werden, dass die Papierbogen im Prozessablauf ihrem aus diesen Einstellungen zu erwartenden Verhalten nicht folgen. Diesen bei der Verarbeitung von Papierbogen erheblichen Schwierigkeiten trägt auch die Standardliteratur auf dem Gebiete der Regeltechnik nicht Rechnung (vgl. G. Schmidt, Grundlagen der Regelungstechnik, Springer Verlag 1982, Seite 17 bis 19 und 173 bis 177 sowie Dubbel, Taschenbuch für den Maschinenbau, 18. Aufl., Springer Verlag, Seite X 16).One known from WO 93/03990 Facility points to endless circulation Chains attached to gripper bridges with which Printed sheets from a sheet-fed rotary printing machine on a delivery stack be transferred. For the gentle transfer of the The printed sheet on the delivery pile will be the opening time the gripper opening curve controlling the gripper bridges and the Suction power of a suction roller designed to brake the printing sheets controlled by a computer to which the mass of printed sheets and the rotational speed of the gripper bridges as input values be specified. With these predefined input values However, the known device can not be impaired of the processing process responding to this are caused that the paper sheets in the process flow their behavior to be expected from these settings consequences. This is considerable when processing paper sheets Standard literature in the field also has difficulties the control technology does not take account (cf. G. Schmidt, Fundamentals der Regelstechnik, Springer Verlag 1982, pages 17 to 19 and 173 to 177 and Dubbel, paperback for mechanical engineering, 18th Ed., Springer Verlag, page X 16).

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es deshalb, einen Druckbogenanleger der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, durch welchen ohne Einbusse an Qualität die Produktivität bei der Herstellung von gebundenen -bedruckten oder unbedruckten- Erzeugnissen gesteigert werden kann.The object of the invention is therefore a sheet feeder of the beginning to create the type mentioned, through which without loss in quality productivity in the manufacture of bound -printed or unprinted- products increased can be.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe nach dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this task solved according to the characterizing part of claim 1.

Dadurch können die Funktionsparameter der Druckbogenanlegers genauer als bisher an die Gegebenheiten und Anforderungen angepasst, Störungseinflüsse reduziert und die Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit mithin erhöht werden.
Die Einstellzeiten lassen sich drastisch senken.As a result, the functional parameters of the sheet feeder can be adapted to the conditions and requirements more precisely than before, interference effects can be reduced and the processing speed can therefore be increased.
The response times can be drastically reduced.

Eine weitere Verbesserung wird dadurch erzielt, wenn der Algorithmus veränderbar bzw. an geänderte Gegebenheiten anpassbar ausgebildet ist.Another improvement is achieved if the algorithm is changeable or designed to be adaptable to changed circumstances is.

Eine Veränderung bzw. Anpassung des Algorithmus und/oder der Sollwerte erfolgt durch die aufgrund der Verhaltensweise der Funktionsparameter lernfähige -eine Rechenintelligenz aufweisende- Steuerung, beispielsweise in Form einer adaptiven Regelung.A change or adaptation of the algorithm and / or the Setpoints are given by the behavior the functional parameter learnable - a computing intelligence having control, for example in the form an adaptive control.

Dabei ist vorzugsweise die mit wenigstens einem Funktionsparameter verbundene lernfähige Steuerung einem dem Soll-/Istwert-Vergleichsregler einer Vorrichtung des Verarbeitungsprozesses zugeordnet.It is preferably the one with at least one functional parameter connected learning controller to the setpoint / actual value comparison controller a processing device assigned.

Der erfindungsgemässe Druckbogenanleger eignet sich besonders zum Sammeln, Zusammentragen, Klebebinden, Fadenheften, Einstecken oder Schneiden von Druckbogen.The printed sheet feeder according to the invention is particularly suitable for collecting, Gathering, perfect binding, thread sewing, inserting or cutting printed sheets.

Der weiteren Verbesserung zur Optimierung des Verarbeitungsprozesses dient eine Verbindung der Reglerausgänge mit der lernfähigen Steuerung erzielt werden.The further improvement to optimize the processing process serves to connect the controller outputs with the learning controller.

Weiterhin vorteilhaft für einen Verarbeitungsprozess ist die Ermittlung der Regler C auf ihren inneren Zustand durch die lernfähige Steuerung.The is also advantageous for a processing process Determination of the controller C on its internal state by the adaptive control.

Vorzugsweise ist die lernfähige Steuerung mit einem Schreib-/Lese-Datenspeicher ausgestattet oder verbunden.The learnable controller is preferably equipped with a Read / write data storage equipped or connected.

Anschliessend wird die Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung, auf die bezüglich aller in der Beschreibung nicht näher erwähnten Einzelheiten ausdrücklich verwiesen wird, anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert.Subsequently, the invention with reference to the Drawing on which regarding all in the description is not explicitly referenced details, based on of an embodiment explained.
