Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von aus gefalzten Druckbogen bestehenden Buchblöcken, bei welchem die unterschiedliche Druckbilder aufweisenden Druckbogen nach einer bestimmten Reihenfolge einzeln der Nähvorrichtung einer Fadenheftmaschine zugeführt und durch wenigstens einen den Druckbogenfalz durchsetzenden Bindefaden aneinandergeheftet werden.The invention relates to a method for producing from folded printed sheet of existing book blocks, in which the printed sheets having different printed images after a certain order individually the sewing device one Thread sewing machine fed and by at least one The binding thread penetrating the printed sheet fold is stitched together become.
Verfahren dieser Art dienen der Produktion von Büchern hoher Bindequalität.Processes of this kind serve the production of high books Bandage quality.
Die die Buchblöcke bildenden verschiedenen, gefalzten Druckbogen werden in einer bestimmten Reihenfolge nach dem Inhalt des herzustellenden Buchblockes in mehrfacher Ausführung gestapelt bereitgestellt und durch eine Vereinzelungsvorrichtung nacheinander auf eine Verarbeitungsstrecke geschickt. Auf dem Weg zur Nähvorrichtung der Fadenheftmaschine, die bekannterweise durch unterschiedliche Nähsysteme ausgebildet ist, durchlaufen die Druckbogen eine Station, in der sie auf Richtigkeit und Verarbeitungsbereitschaft überprüft werden. The different, folded printed sheets forming the book blocks are in a specific order according to the content of the book block to be produced stacked in multiple designs provided and successively by a separating device sent on a processing line. On the way to the sewing device of the thread sewing machine, which is known trained by different sewing systems is, the printed sheets pass through a station in which they open Correctness and readiness for processing are checked.
Vor dieser Station werden sie zum Zweck der Verarbeitung in
der Nähvorrichtung geöffnet und rittlings einer sattelförmigen
Auflage zugeführt, wo sie von Mitnehmern einer umlaufenden
Fördervorrichtung übernommen werden.
Eine von aussen auf die sattelförmige Auflage gerichtete Lesevorrichtung
stellt fest, um welchen Druckbogen es sich handelt,
der anschliessend in einer mit der Lesevorrichtung verbundenen
Vergleichsvorrichtung überprüft wird. Die Vergleichsvorrichtung
signalisiert eine Steuerung, falls es sich um einen
fehlerhaften Bogen handelt. Trifft dies zu, wird der Verarbeitungsprozess
angehalten und der fehlerhafte Druckbogen
ausgetauscht. Die Vergleichsvorrichtung enthält die Daten der
Sollwerte der für einen vollständigen Buchblock bestimmten
Druckbogen sowie über deren Reihenfolge, wobei die erforderlichen
Daten in einem vorausgehenden Eichvorgang aufgenommen
bzw. abgespeichert werden.

im vorveröffentlichten Prospekt 
A reading device directed from the outside onto the saddle-shaped support determines which printed sheet it is, which is then checked in a comparison device connected to the reading device. The comparison device signals a control if it is a faulty sheet. If this is the case, the processing process is stopped and the faulty printed sheet is replaced. The comparison device contains the data of the target values of the printed sheets intended for a complete book block as well as their sequence, the necessary data being recorded or stored in a previous calibration process.
This in the pre-published prospectus
Ungelöst ist die Erkennung der richtigen Öffnung der gefalzten Druckbogen, bevor sie dem Heftprozess übergeben werden. Ein unkorrekt geöffneter Druckbogen würde dazu führen, dass er vom Nähvorgang nur teilweise erfasst wird und anschliessend in dem gebundenen Buchblock nicht verankert ist. Es kommt schon vor, dass ein Druckbogen vor dem Ablegen auf die sattelförmige Auflage nicht mittig geöffnet wird, sodass nur ein Teil der Falzinnenkanten auf dem Heftsattel aufliegt bzw. nur ein Teil der Falze beim Nahen erfasst wird. Die nicht erfassten Druckbogen liegen lose zwischen den gebundenen Druckbogen; ein Buch erweist sich so als wertlos. The detection of the correct opening of the folded one is unsolved Press sheets before they are submitted to the stitching process. A improperly opened printed sheets would lead to the fact that the Sewing process is only partially recorded and then in the bound book block is not anchored. It happens that a printed sheet before placing it on the saddle-shaped pad is not opened in the middle, so that only part of the fold inner edges rests on the saddle or only a part of the Fold is detected when approaching. The undetected printed sheets lie loosely between the bound printed sheets; a book turns out so worthless.

Die DE - A - 38 06 125 beschreibt ein Verfahren zum Erkennen von falsch angelegten Druckbogen, die aus einem Stapelmagazin einer Zusammentragmaschine mittels einer Abzugstrommel an einer opto-elektrischen Abtasteinrichtung vorbeigeführt werden, wobei der sog. Lichtfleck auf ein definiertes Abfragefeld eines ersten Druckbogens bei definiertem Drehwinkelbereich ausgerichtet wird und die folgenden Druckbogen in dem Drehwinkelbereich abgefragt und bei Ermittlung einer Abweichung durch einen Steuerimpuls die Zusammentragmaschine stillgesetzt wird.DE-A-38 06 125 describes a method for recognition of incorrectly created printed sheets from a stack magazine a collating machine by means of a take-off drum on one opto-electrical scanning device are passed, whereby the so-called light spot on a defined query field of a first one Print sheet aligned with a defined angle of rotation range is queried and the following printed sheets in the rotation angle range and when a deviation is determined by a control pulse the gathering machine is stopped.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es somit, bei der Verarbeitung von Druckbogen zu Buchblöcken durch Fadenheften die Erfassung des offenen Zustandes eines Druckbogens zu gewährleisten unter Einhaltung der bekannten Bedingungen.The object of the present invention is therefore during processing from printing sheets to book blocks by thread sewing the capture to ensure the open state of a printed sheet in compliance with the known conditions.
Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Druckbogen auf dem Förderweg zur Nähvorrichtung mit wenigstens einer der die Falzinnenkante der Druckbogen bildenden Seiten in aufgespreizter Lage an einer die Bogenart resp. die Vollständigkeit und/oder Verarbeitungslage anhand der Druckbilder prüfenden Kontrolleinrichtung vorbeigeführt werden, wodurch u.a. die Zuverlässigkeit des Verarbeitungsprozesses erhöht werden kann.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the Print sheets on the conveyor path to the sewing device with at least one of the sides forming the fold inner edge of the printed sheets in a spread position on a the arch type resp. completeness and / or processing position based on the printed images inspection control device are passed, whereby i.a. increases the reliability of the processing process can be.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es dabei, wenn die Druckbilder der Druckbogen optisch gelesen und erfasst, anschliessend mit einem gespeicherten Referenzwert verglichen und eine daraus errechnete Differenz zur Bildung eines auf den Produktionsvorgang der Fadenheftmaschine stoppend oder korrigierend wirkendes Signal ausgelöst wird, sodass ein einfach überblickbarer funktioneller Zusammenhang entstehen kann.It is particularly advantageous if the printed images of the Printed sheet optically read and recorded, then with a stored reference value compared and a calculated from it Difference to forming a on the production process the thread sewing machine stopping or correcting Signal is triggered, so that an easily manageable functional connection can arise.
Umgesetzt bedeutet dies bei einer Fadenheftmaschine, bestehend aus einer der Nähvorrichtung vorgeschalteten Überführungsvorrichtung, auf welcher die aufgespreizten Druckbogen hintereinander gefördert werden, dass innerhalb der die förderwirksam angetriebenen Druckbogen an der Falzinnenkante rittlings aufnehmenden Überführungsvorrichtung eine etwa rechtwinklig zur Bewegungsrichtung der Druckbogen wirkende, einer Kontrolleinrichtung zugeordnete, optoelektrische Lesevorrichtung angeordnet ist.In the case of a thread sewing machine, this means existing from a transfer device upstream of the sewing device, on which the spread spreads in a row be promoted within the the effective driven printing sheet astride the inside edge of the fold Transfer device an approximately at right angles to Direction of movement of the printing sheet acting, a control device assigned, arranged optoelectric reading device is.
Als geeignet erweist sich eine Überführungsvorrichtung, die seitlich schräg abfallende Auflageflächen aufweist, welche im Lesebereich der Lesevorrichtung unterbrochen bzw. mit einer fensterartigen Ausnehmung ausgebildet sind. A transfer device proves to be suitable laterally sloping bearing surfaces, which in Reading area of the reading device interrupted or with a window-like recess are formed.
Zweckmässigerweise ist die Lesevorrichtung mit einer einen gespeicherten Sollwert, der verändert werden kann, aufnehmenden/speichernden Vergleichsvorrichtung verbunden, die als elektronischer Rechner ausgebildet ist.The reading device is expediently equipped with one stored setpoint, which can be changed, recording / storing Comparison device connected as electronic calculator is formed.
An die Vergleichsvorrichtung ist vorzugsweise eine Steuerung angeschlossen, die auf Signale der Vergleichsvorrichtung den Heftprozess, die Überführungsvorrichtung oder die Fadenheftmaschine zwischen Beschickung an der Vereinzelungsvorrichtung und Nähvorrichtung beeinflussen kann, d.h. den Verarbeitungsprozess unterbrechen oder korrigieren kann.A controller is preferably connected to the comparison device connected to the signals of the comparator Stapling process, the transfer device or the thread sewing machine between loading on the separating device and sewing device, i.e. the processing process can interrupt or correct.
