Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for merging and finishing several paper webs according to the preamble of Claim 1, and a method for merging and refining several paper webs.
  • GB-A-637 131 discloses a similar device, but the Paper web is not provided with markings. A paper web with such markings, however, is already known, e.g. from the US-A-3,097,844.
  • Refining a paper web is in the broadest sense understood any form of processing, be it printing, Coating, numbering, punching, punching, or even applying or covering (gluing) with plastic cards, such as Credit cards, with sample packs, with labels, or the Creation of address windows and their coverage by transparent foils.
  • the invention has therefore set itself the task To provide an apparatus and a method with the Help merged several paper webs and - if necessary independently of each other - be refined, and the lengthwise register together in a further processing unit can be supplied.
  • One way to solve it this task is accomplished by the combination given the features of claim 1 and claim 7.
  • Paper webs in the sense of the invention are all those To understand materials that are in web form, the may be subjected to a finishing process, which are in any case brought together with other railways, and then one with these other railways Be subjected to further processing. So for example Foil webs, rather thin cardboard webs and paper webs of different thickness and quality.
  • the means for congruent longitudinal register control of the at least two paper webs comprise means for building one for the at least two paper webs each essentially same paper tension across the width of the respective web down, which only causes the registration of the on the paper webs applied markings on the track buttons in their chronological order of relevance and, this registration for regulating the longitudinal registration of the at least two paper webs can be used. Only because the merged paper webs under a certain paper tension there may be differences in the longitudinal register, for example due to the finishing in the processing line can occur, and that about the registry the markings are determined by the track buttons, be balanced again. This is done via a Control unit each have a drive or braking device controlled, in particular the respective take-off rollers is assigned, since this as the driven rollers the web speed pretend.
  • Individual paper webs can be used instead of a single pair of draw rollers the several of which are provided to provide sufficient Non-positive connection between the individual paper webs to ensure and / or any existing air bubbles squeeze between the paper webs.
  • the registration of the markings on those under the top track Paper webs are done using web buttons in front of the Processing line are provided - this will be simultaneous also the longitudinal registration required for individual processing correct - especially immediately before the merge with the top paper web.
  • the uppermost path can be one arranged in front of the processing line Path sensors are provided, which in particular at different processing units in the processing line information on the correct longitudinal registration the top lane is given in addition to the top the web buttons arranged in the area of the pull rollers Register information values, which then in particular only for the correct registration of the units of the processing unit and the aggregates of the processing unit be used.
  • a roll-off unit 1 in which one Roll 2 a paper web 3 is unrolled. This is the axis 4 of the roller 2, mounted on an inclined roller guide 5, the paper web 3 is in contact with the circumference of the roll 2 - generally driven and acting as a brake - Roll 6 rolled, two take-off rolls 7 and 8 with Differential gears pull the paper web 3 with a certain, selectable or adjustable speed. In order to the paper web speed is fixed. About one Read head 26, the register of the web is determined and one Control unit 19 supplied as a reference value. After that the paper web 3 passes through a web edge control 9 which the further processing of the paper web 3 with an exact lateral Registration allowed.
  • Unrolling units 1a, 1b and 1c which are arranged side by side are paper or film webs 3a, 3b and 3c unrolled.
  • the individual tracks pass through turning crosses 10a, 10b and 10c, where they are guided over deflecting rollers 13a, 13b and 13c and each subsequent web under the previous lane (s) comes to rest. After that, they will fed to a processing line 11.
  • Lanes 3a, 3b and 3c are then rolled off in the processing section 11 Lanes 3a, 3b and 3c either together or from one another processed independently, depending on the desired processing steps.
  • gearboxes 12 are provided for freely positionable intermediate modules, which are each provided with a 360 ° register.
  • the paper webs need in the processing section 11 not, as is known from the prior art, via barbed tapes to be led, but are excited here, and if necessary - depending on the intermediate module to be provided - guided over deflection rollers. None nonetheless can but - especially since there is an independent one in the processing unit Processing of the individual paper webs is possible, optionally one for at least one of the paper webs Barbed tape guide can be provided.
  • a web that moistens in the processing line will be stretched.
  • the web is over intermediate rolls or around additional cylinders guided to the necessary tension hold.
  • the rubber cylinders 14a and 14b in front of the further processing unit 15 over the paper web width build up the same paper tension and to control them.
  • Rubber covers with different profiles can be pulled over rollers and are adaptable to different machining processes. So can, for example, recesses on these rubber cylinders be provided in the by means of in the processing line provided card dispenser glued onto one of the tracks Plastic cards or using a rotary feeder applied sample packs fit. This puts the pressure on all merged lanes at this point across the lane width stay even there.
  • This rubber cylinder 14a and 14b are driven, substantially synchronously with print image processing. So the paper webs are pulled and kept stretched over the processing line 11.
  • the basic setting is based on the control of the superimposed paper webs by the operating personnel be made, the ongoing corrections then happen during the editing process via the Control devices described below.
  • pairs of pull rollers can also be provided are also preferably formed as a rubber cylinder.
  • Such an arrangement is advantageous if it is multi-layer products, since merging several Paper webs like air cushions between each - especially the innermost - lanes remain, the unwanted Modulations in the individual registers result could.
  • at least two pairs of pull rollers should be used in succession be arranged, variations due to air cushions can be compensated. But it could also between certain processing units or units in the processing section of pairs of draw rollers be provided, which is particularly the case with long processing lines may prove beneficial to the tension to keep safe over the processing line.
  • rollers with a standard scope are called pull rollers of 24 "(60.96 cm). Both cylinder rollers 14a, 14b of the pair of pull rollers are driven, synchronously, so that the same peripheral speed is given.
  • the Axes of the two cylinders 14a, 14b are exactly on top of each other aligned and are perpendicular to the paper transport direction. This moves the pair of pull rollers onto the one in between Same pressure applied to paper webs, the paper webs are without the smallest wrap angle transported in a straight line.
  • a main drive 23 is for driving the take-off rollers 7 and 8, the drive of the intermediate modules 12, the rubber cylinders 14a and 14b and the individual stations of the further processing unit 15 provided.
  • the processing unit 15 can, for example, be a Cutting, perforation or stapling unit.
  • the distance between blanket cylinders 14a and 14b and the processing unit 15 should generally be as low as possible, there - seen in the direction of web travel - behind the rubber cylinders 14a and 14b no more paper tension is maintained.
  • the finished products are then placed on a delivery table 16 applied or, if necessary, an additional Further processing, such as a bookbinding machine or a folder.
  • a path button 17b or 17c is provided, another path button 18 is immediately in front of the rubber cylinders 14a and 14b arranged.
  • This arrangement of the path sensor 18 immediately in front of the cylinders 14a, 14b - or in front of the last of the pairs of draw rollers - will generally be beneficial since the Paper webs in the subsequent processing unit if necessary due to the processing carried out therein no longer under tension, possibly something to Flutter and read the registration marks becomes insecure.
  • the paper webs 3a, 3b and 3c have markings, which are applied at certain and equal intervals are. Depending on the type of track switch, the type of Marking, such as line markings, that can be detected by photo sensors.
  • a reference value which reflects the desired web speed and which relates to the longitudinal register regulation of the top orbit the processing unit 15 - or in relation to the individual modules of the processing unit 11 - allowed (the chronological sequence of the signals available via the path sensor 18 is therefore decisive).
  • control unit 19 controls - if necessary contactless - a servo controller 22a for operation a servo motor 20a on the differential gear 21a of the take-off rollers 7a and 8a on the unwinding unit 1a. So that is it is possible to hold back the paper web 3a somewhat, so to speak to break.
  • the other paper webs 3b and 3c must also be registered exactly lengthways be together with the first train 3a, since these three lanes may be independent of theirs different processing together in the processing unit 15 are processed.
  • a servo controller 22b is operated via the control unit 19 a servo motor 20b on the differential gear 21b Discharge rollers 7b and 8b are controlled on the unwinding unit 1b.
  • a web button 17a that of the uppermost paper web, can optionally be used is assigned to be provided, via which if necessary - as already described above - an additional or alternative register control or control for the top one Paper web 3a is possible
