Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folder in one Rotary printing machine for cross folding Printed products, in particular printed products variable section length.
  • a folder 1 of a rotary printing press has a pull roller group 2 for feeding a printed and possibly longitudinally folded product strand 3.
  • a pull roller group 2 for feeding a printed and possibly longitudinally folded product strand 3.
  • the drawing roller group 2 is one of two in succession arranged cutting cylinder pairs 4; 6 existing Cross cutting device 7 is provided.
  • the first Cutting cylinder pair 4 brings into production line 3 a cross perforation cut, the remaining one Bridges through the second pair of cutting cylinders 6 be severed so that a complete cut arises.
  • Below the cross cutting device 7 a signature switch 10 arranged, all of which Product strand 3 cut signatures 41, 42, 43, 44 (Fig. 2) alternately one of two product flow paths A; B assigns.
  • Each cutting cylinder of the Cutting cylinder pair 6 and each change member 33; 34 the signature switch 10 is drivable Tape system 11; 12 surrounded.
  • the Belt systems 18, 19 and 23, 24 of the second stage of the Delay line 13; 14 are the same Peripheral speed driven as following Cylinder 28; 29.
  • Each production current path A; B closes a transverse folding device 26; 27 to the each from a z.
  • the first and second pair of cutting cylinders 4, 6 is connected to each other by means of a gear, whereby the second pair of cutting cylinders 6 z. B. one by 4 X receives higher peripheral speed.
  • the gear is connected to a motor M1.
  • Both the cross folding device 26 of the product flow path A as well as the transverse folding device 27 of the Product flow path B is each with a motor M2, M3 connected.
  • the motors M1 to M3 are three-phase motors executed and each with an electrical line each a power section 56 of a z. B. digital Drive controller 57, 58, 59 connected (Fig. 1 and 4).
  • one control part 61 of the drive controller 57, 58, 59 stands over lines with an actual value transmitter 62, 63, 64, e.g. B. rotary encoder of a rotating part 4, 31, 32 the motor transmission unit M1, M2, M3 in connection.
  • control part 61 of the Drive controller 57, 58, 59 each have an input for a line coming from a central unit 66.
  • This central unit 66 gives a central one Setpoint signal for all individual drives of the printing press out.
  • the folder works as described below.
  • the incoming product strand 3 is replaced by the first Cutting cylinder pair 4 cross-perforated, the Cutting cylinder circumference of a respective cutting length c, e.g. B. 490 mm of the signatures 41 to 44 to be cut is adapted (Fig. 2).
  • the cutting length c is z. Legs maximum cutting length; it corresponds to a distance between the on the circumference of the gripper and Folding knife cylinder 28; 29 arranged adjacent Gripper systems.
  • a peripheral speed of the first Cutting cylinder pair 4 corresponds to one Speed of the incoming product line 3.
  • transverse folding devices 26; 27 Only every second signature arrives 43, 41 and 44, 42 to a transverse folding device 26; 27. That is, the transverse folding devices 26; 27 can about half the speed of in the Pull roller group 2 of incoming product strand 3 work, d. H. with half the number of bars. That the Signature switch 10 each following first tape system 16, 17 or 21, 22 of the delay line 13 or 14 runs with one compared to the signature switch 10 so far reduced speed that about half the kinetic energy of the signatures 41 to 44 is reduced can be, the input speed to about Is reduced by 80%.
  • each Signature 43, 41 and 44, 42 by means of Delay section 13 and 14 delayed so far that the Signatures 41 to 44 each have a distance e from each other, so that these from the grippers can be detected.
  • the distance e also corresponds at the same time the length of one on the circumference of the gripper and folding knife cylinders 28 and 29 respectively Gripper device.
  • This in the Product current path A or B incoming signatures 47 to 50 are in the delay line 13 or 14 on the constant gripper spacing d plus gripper length e am Scope of the gripper and folding knife cylinders 28 and 29, respectively so delayed that the signature on its front End of a gripper bar or gripper system is detected.
  • To always have the correct position of the leading edge from one of the signatures 47 to 50 in the gripper system of To take transverse folding device 27 - also applies for one of the signatures 41 to 47 in the gripper system Transversal folder 26 - this is from the central unit 66 setpoint signal output with that of the Actual value generator 63, 64 of the transverse folding device 26, 27 output actual value signal compared.
  • each Transverse folding device 26; 27 points to each other adjustable equipment carrier so that the signatures 41st to 44 and 47 to 50 according to their cut length c can be variably folded up to d.
  • a such transverse folding device 26 and 27 is from the EP 02 57 390 B1 known. All rotatable Parts such as cylinders, rolls of the belt systems and the like. are in known side frames, not shown rotatably mounted. Instead of the gripper and Folding knife cylinder arranged grippers can equivalently punctures can also be arranged.
