Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren für das Herstellen von Büchern oder Broschüren mit einem Buchblock aus falzseitig fadengehefteten Druckbogen, die mittig gespreizt mit nach unten gerichteten Seitenteilen in einer vorbestimmten Reihenfolge nacheinander einem mit einer rechtwinklig zum Falz der Druckbogen angeordneten Hefteinrichtung zusammenwirkenden Heftsattel zugeführt werden, auf dem sie nach der Heftlage positioniert und anschliessend an die Hefteinrichtung für das Vernähen zu Buchblöcken versetzt werden.The invention relates to a method for the manufacture of Books or brochures with a book block made of folded pages Thread-sewn printed sheet, the center spread with down directed side parts in a predetermined order one after another with a right angle to the fold of the Compressed sheet arranged stitching device cooperate Stapling saddle are fed on which they after the stapling position positioned and then to the stapler for the Sewing be added to book blocks.

Verfahren dieser Art werden u.a. mit Fadenheftmaschinen der Bezeichnung "Inventa" der Müller Martini Buchbindesysteme AG durchgeführt.
Dabei werden vorerst in einer vorbestimmten Reihenfolge, in losen Stapeln gesammelte Druckbogen vereinzelt und an eine Fördervorrichtung übergeben, auf dem Förderweg mittig geöffnet und rittlings auf einen mit einem Heftsattel einer Hefteinrichtung verbundenen Zwischenförderer abgegeben. Am Förderende des Zwischenförderers wird ein Druckbogen jeweils von einer Einschubvorrichtung an der vorauslaufenden Bogenkante erfasst und gegen einen sich an dem Heftsattel linkerhand befindenden Positionsanschlag verschoben; dies sowohl bei klein- wie grossformatigen Druckbogen.
D.h., dass sowohl der auf dem Zwischenförderer kürzeste Druckbogen wie auch der längste Druckbogen den gleich langen Weg von dem Zwischenförderer bis zum Positionsanschlag auf dem Heftsattel zurücklegen; auch die Geschwindigkeit V ist für alle Druckbogen dieselbe und es werden von der Hefteinrichtung etwa zweihundert Druckbogen pro Minute vernäht, also mehr als drei Druckbogen pro Sekunde.
Der Transfer der Druckbogen vom Zwischenförderer an den Heftsattel macht zur Abstandsgewinnung eine kurzzeitige Beschleunigung der am Zwischenförderer erfassten Druckbogen erforderlich und ist dabei nicht problemlos.
Druckbogen, die eine kürzere Falzlänge und damit verbundene höhere Labilität aufweisen als das grösste verarbeitbare Format werden somit über eine ungebührlich lange Strecke an den Positionsanschlag bewegt, sodass die Zuverlässigkeit einer korrekten Ueberführung entsprechend stark beansprucht wird.Processes of this kind are carried out, inter alia, with thread sewing machines of the designation "Inventa" of the Muller Martini bookbinding systems AG.
Here, for the time being in a predetermined order, collected in loose stacks compressed sheets are separated and transferred to a conveyor, centrally opened on the conveyor and delivered astride a connected to a saddle stitcher stapler intermediate conveyor. At the conveyor end of the intermediate conveyor, a sheet is detected in each case by a slide-in device on the leading edge of the sheet and moved against a position on the staple left hand position stop; This is true for both small and large-format printed sheets.
This means that both the shortest printed sheet on the intermediate conveyor and the longest printed sheet travel the same distance from the intermediate conveyor to the position stop on the saddle; also the speed V is the same for all printed sheets and about two hundred sheets per minute are sewn by the stapler, ie more than three sheets per second.
The transfer of the print sheets from the intermediate conveyor to the saddle makes it necessary to achieve a short-term acceleration of the printed sheet recorded on the intermediate conveyor to obtain the distance and is not without problems.
Sheets that have a shorter fold length and associated higher lability than the largest processable format are thus moved over an unduly long distance to the position stop, so that the reliability of a correct transfer is claimed accordingly strong.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es somit, ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zu schaffen, mit denen für Druckbogen mit einer geringeren Falzlänge als das maximal zulässige Druckbogenformat eine aufweist, die Zuverlässigkeit der Verarbeitung von Druckbogen auf dem Weg von dem Zwischenförderer bzw. Zuförderer zum Heftsattel gesteigert werden kann.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a method and a To create a device with which to print sheets with a less folding length than the maximum permitted sheet format one, the reliability of the processing of Sheet on the way from the intermediate conveyor or feed conveyor can be increased to stitch saddle.

Erfindungsgemäss wird dies in verfahrensmässiger Hinsicht dadurch erreicht, dass die nachlaufende Kante eines zugeführten Druckbogens auf dem Heftsattel rechtsbündig nach der Kopf- oder Fusskante eines durch die Hefteinrichtung wenigstens teilweise genähten Buchblockes ausgerichtet wird, sodass das Uebernehmen eines Druckbogens von dem Zwischenförderer schonender als bisher erfolgen und der Aufprall der Druckbogen an einem dem Heftsattel zugeordneten Positionsanschlag erheblich verfeinert werden kann.
D.h. weiterhin, dass der Weg und die Geschwindigkeit eines entsprechenden Druckbogens vom Zwischenförderer auf den Heftsattel in der verfügbaren konstanten Taktzeit der Verarbeitung kleiner wird. Dies begründet auch eine geringere Aufprallenergie.According to the invention this is achieved in procedural terms, that the trailing edge of a fed sheet is aligned right-aligned on the stitch saddle on the head or foot edge of a stapled by the stapler book block, so that the takeover of a sheet from the intermediate conveyor done more gently than before and the impact of the printed sheets on a stitch saddle associated position stop can be significantly refined.
In other words, the path and the speed of a corresponding signature from the intermediate conveyor to the saddle become smaller in the available constant cycle time of the processing. This also causes a lower impact energy.

Die erfindungsgemässe Massnahme würde durch den kürzeren Weg der Druckbogen vom Zwischenförderer auf den Heftsattel alternativ die Möglichkeit erlauben, eine höhere Taktzeit zu fahren d.h. im gleichen Zeitbereich einen höheren Durchsatz an Druckbogen erzielen lassen, andererseits das Mass der verbesserten Zuverlässigkeit wieder verringern.The inventive measure would be through the shorter path the print sheet from the intermediate conveyor to the saddle saddle alternatively allow the possibility to drive a higher cycle time i.e. in the same time range, a higher throughput of sheet on the other hand the measure of the improved Reduce reliability again.

Eine Einrichtung zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens besteht aus einer von einem Zuförderer beschickten, wenigstens zwei angetriebene Nähnadeln zur Bildung eines wenigstens zwei rechtwinklig zur Längserstreckung eines Buchblockes verlaufenden Nähte aufweisenden Hefteinrichtung und einem dieser zugeordneten, den Zuförderer an dem Förderende im Takt der zugeführten Druckbogen verbindenden, quer zur Zuführrichtung der Druckbogen hin- und herbewegten Heftsattel, und zeichnet sich erfindungsgemäss durch eine dem Heftsattel zugeordnete, die nachlaufende Kante eines Druckbogens nach der Kopf- oder Fusskante eines durch die Hefteinrichtung wenigstens teilweise genähten Buchblockes ausrichtende Positioniervorrichtung aus.
Damit lässt sich auf einfache Weise für Druckbogen mit einer geringeren Falzlänge als die maximal zulässige eine höhere Verarbeitungszuverlässigkeit bewerkstelligen oder der Durchsatz an Druckbogen erhöhen.A device for carrying out the method according to the invention consists of a stitching device fed by a feed conveyor, at least two driven stitching needles for forming a stitching device having at least two seams running at right angles to the longitudinal extent of a book block and a stitching device associated therewith, joining the feed conveyor at the feed end in time with the supplied print sheets. transversely to the feed direction of the sheet reciprocating saddle stitch, and is characterized according to the invention by a stitch saddle associated, the trailing edge of a sheet to the head or foot edge of an at least partially stitched by the stapler book block positioning.
This can be done in a simple manner for press sheets with a lower fold length than the maximum allowable higher processing reliability or increase the throughput of printed sheets.

Vorteilhaft weist die Positioniervorrichtung eine die Druckbogen von dem Zuförderer abholende Einschubvorrichtung auf, die eine zuverlässige Uebertragung der Druckbogen an den Heftsattel gestattet.Advantageously, the positioning device a the sheet from the feeder fetching insertion device, the reliable transfer of the printed sheets to the saddle allowed.

Um Druckbogen mit verschiedenen Falzlängen verarbeiten zu können, kann alternativ der Einschubvorrichtung ein mit dieser zusammenwirkender, gegenüber dem Heftsattel verstellbarer Positionieranschlag zugeordnet sein, der es erlaubt, eine Abstimmung vorzunehmen, sodass eine schonende Uebertragung der Druckbogen zwischen Zuförderer und Heftsattel erfolgen kann.To process printed sheets with different fold lengths, Alternatively, the insertion device with this one cooperating, opposite the saddle adjustable positioning stop be assigned, which allows a vote make a gentle transfer of the Sheet can be done between feeder and saddle.

Ein zyklischer Antrieb der Einschubvorrichtung ermöglicht ein Ueberführen der Druckbogen auch ohne Positionsanschlag, bspw. durch erzeugte Friktion zwischen Einschubvorrichtung und Druckbogen.A cyclic drive of the insertion device allows a Conveying the sheet even without position stop, eg. by generated friction between the insertion device and Sheet.

Die Einschubvorrichtung könnte als Schieber oder als durch ein um parallele Achsen umlaufendes endloses Band ausgebildet sein, dessen eine Trum in Zuführrichtung der Druckbogen zur reibungsschlüssigen Verbindung mit diesen dem Heftsattel zugewandt ist.The insertion device could be used as a slide or as a formed around parallel axes rotating endless belt be whose one strand in the feed direction of the sheet for frictional connection with these facing the saddle is.

Der einfachheithalber ist die Positioniervorrichtung nach dem Format resp. der Falzlänge eines Druckbogens einstellbar.For the sake of simplicity, the positioning device is after Format resp. the fold length of a sheet adjustable.

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 Ausführungsbeipiels erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigt die

einzige Fig.
eine vereinfachte Darstellung der Verarbeitung von Druckbogen in einer Fadenheftmaschine.
Subsequently, the invention will be explained with reference to the drawing, to which reference is expressly made with respect to all unspecified details in the description, based on a Ausführungsbeipiels. In the drawing shows the
only Fig.
a simplified representation of the processing of printed sheets in a book sewing machine.

Bevor die in einer bestimmten Reihenfolge gesammelten Druckbogen 1 das Magazin 2 eines Druckbogenanlegers 3 erreichen, werden sie in einer vorgeschalteten Zusammentragmaschine in losen Buchblöcken aufeinanderliegend vereint. Anschliessend werden die Druckbogen, Formate mit grösstem zulässigen Falz werden als 1, solche mit kürzeren Falzen mit 1' bezeichnet, durch eine dem Magazin 2 zugeordnete Vereinzelungseinrichtung 4 unter Beibehaltung der Reihenfolge nacheinander abgezogen und an eine Fördervorrichtung 5 übergeben, die durch zusammenwirkende umlaufende Bänder dargestellt ist, wo sie vorerst an der hinunterhängenden Seite geöffnet an einen Zuförderer 6 abgegeben werden, ein Vorgang, der im einschlägigen Fachgebiet bekannt ist und deshalb nicht weiter erörtert sein muss.
Der Zuförderer 6, auf dem die Druckbogen 1 nun rittlings aufliegend gefördert werden, kann mit verschiedenen Druckbogenkontrolleinrichtungen ausgestattet sein. So beispielsweise mit einer Bogenkontrolle 7, die die Richtigkeit der zugeführten Druckbogen 1, 1' überwacht, und einer Dickenkontrolle 8, zur Feststellung eines Einzelbogens.
Der Transport der Druckbogen 1, 1' am Zuförderer 6 wird gemäss Zeichnung durch ein umlaufendes Zugorgan 9 mit abstehenden Mitnehmern 10 vorgenommen, die die Druckbogen 1, 1' auf einer sattelförmig ausgebildeten Auflage 11 im Anschluss an die Fördervorrichtung 5 an der nachlaufenden bzw. hinteren Kopf- oder Fusskante erfassen. An das Ende des Zuförderers 6, der eine verhältnismässig längere oder kürzere Förderstrecke als dargestellt aufweisen kann, schliesst ein rechtwinklig zur Zuführrichtung der Druckbogen 1, 1' hin und her beweglicher Heftsattel 12 an, dessen Auflage etwa die Querschnittsform des Zuförderers 6 aufweist, sodass eine störungsfreie Ueberführung der Druckbogen 1 vom Zuförderer 6 erfolgen kann, wenn Heftsattel 12 und Zuförderer 6 eine wenigstens annähernd stufenlose Verbindung bilden.
Die Beschickung des Heftsattels 12 mit einem Druckbogen 1, 1' von dem Zuförderer 6 findet durch eine aus einem umlaufenden Band 13 gebildete Einschubvorrichtung 14 statt. Diese ist im Takt der am Zuförderer 6 bewegten Druckbogen 1, 1' und des Heftsattels 12 angetrieben, wobei der an der von einer Hefteinrichtung 15 abgewandten Auflageebene des Heftsattels 12 anliegende, durch zwei beabstandete Rollen 16, 17 gebildete Trum 18 des Bandes 13 auf die an dem Zuförderer 6 erfassten Druckbogen 1, 1' eine Friktionswirkung ausübt und letztere dadurch auf den Heftsattel 12 bringt.
Die Einschubvorrichtung 14 kann zyklisch im Takt der Druckbogenverarbeitung angesteuert oder mit kontinuierlicher Umlaufbewegung angetrieben werden; die verschiedenen Mittel dafür sind bekannt.
Bei einer zyklischen Antriebsbewegung der Einschubvorrichtung 14, kann diese auch die Funktion einer Positioniervorrichtung 19 übernehmen, d.h. die Druckbogen 1, 1' mit der nachlaufenden Kopf- oder Fusskante auf dem Heftsattel 12 in die nach dem wenigstens teilweise genähten letzten Buchblock 20 ausrichten; in Verarbeitungsrichtung der Hefteinrichtung 15 betrachtet rechtsbündig mit den genähten Buchblöcken.
Ein Positionsanschlag 21, der nach den zu heftenden Druckbogenformaten einzustellen ist, könnte die Genauigkeit beim Positioniervorgang des Druckbogens 1, 1' auf dem Heftsattel 12 begünstigen.Before the printed sheets 1 collected in a specific sequence reach the magazine 2 of a sheet feeder 3, they are combined in an upstream gathering machine in loose blocks of books. Subsequently, the sheets, formats with maximum allowable fold are referred to as 1, those with shorter folds with 1 ', deducted by the magazine 2 associated singulator 4 while maintaining the order one after the other and transferred to a conveyor 5, represented by cooperating circumferential bands where they are initially delivered on the down-hanging side to a feed conveyor 6, a process which is known in the art and therefore need not be further discussed.
The feed conveyor 6, on which the printed sheets 1 are now conveyed astride, can be equipped with different sheet control devices. For example, with a bow control 7, which monitors the accuracy of the supplied printed sheets 1, 1 ', and a thickness control 8, for detecting a single sheet.
The transport of the printing sheets 1, 1 'on the feed conveyor 6 is made according to the drawing by a rotating traction member 9 with protruding drivers 10, the sheet 1, 1' on a saddle-shaped support 11 following the conveyor 5 on the trailing or rear Capture head or foot edge. At the end of the feed conveyor 6, which may have a relatively longer or shorter conveyor line than shown, includes a perpendicular to the feed direction of the sheet 1, 1 'back and forth movable stitch saddle 12, whose support has approximately the cross-sectional shape of the feed conveyor 6, so that a trouble-free transfer of the sheet 1 from the feed conveyor 6 can be done when saddle 12 and feed 6 form an at least approximately stepless connection.
The feeding of the saddle 12 with a printing sheet 1, 1 'from the feed conveyor 6 takes place by means of an insertion device 14 formed from a circulating belt 13. This is driven in time with the moving on the feeder 6 printed sheet 1, 1 'and the saddle 12, wherein at the side facing away from a stapler 15 support level of the saddle 12 fitting, formed by two spaced rollers 16, 17 strand 18 of the belt 13 on the on the feed conveyor 6 detected sheet 1, 1 'exerts a frictional action and the latter brings thereby on the saddle 12.
The insertion device 14 can be driven cyclically in the cycle of sheet-fed processing or driven with continuous revolution; the various means are known.
In a cyclic drive movement of the insertion device 14, this can also take over the function of a positioning device 19, that is to align the sheet 1, 1 'with the trailing head or foot edge on the saddle 12 in the after the at least partially sewn last book block 20; viewed in the processing direction of the stapler 15 right-justified with the sewn book blocks.
A position stop 21, which is to be set according to the printing sheet formats to be stitched, could favor the accuracy in the positioning process of the printing sheet 1, 1 'on the stitching saddle 12.

Die einzige Figur zeigt weiterhin in strichpunktierter Linie auf dem Zuförderer 6 und dem Heftsattel 12 Druckbogen 1' mit geringerer Falzlänge als die mit ausgezogener Linie dargestellten Druckbogen 1 mit maximaler Falzlänge, wobei die kleineren Druckbogen 1' auf dem Heftsattel 12 in der Lage nach der Erfindung veranschaulicht sind. Auffallend ist dabei ein kürzerer Abstand zwischen dem auf dem Zuförderer 6 sich befindenden vordersten Druckbogen 1' und dem Druckbogen 1' auf dem Heftsattel 12, der die Position auf Rechtsbündigkeit mit den genähten Buchblöcken 20 hinter der Hefteinrichtung 15 einnimmt, gegenüber den sich auf dem Zuförderer 6 bewegenden Druckbogen 1' kürzerer Falzlänge.
Der auf dem Heftsattel 12 in Heft- oder Nählage versetzte Druckbogen 1, 1' wird, wie Fig. 1 zeigt, durch eine Schwenkbewegung in die Nähposition zur Seite angehoben und dort zu einem Buchblock 20 mit anderen Druckbogen 1 vernäht.The single figure also shows in dot-dash line on the feeder 6 and the stitch saddle 12 sheet 1 'with less than the fold line shown with solid line 1 with maximum fold length, the smaller sheet 1' on the saddle 12 in the situation according to the invention are illustrated. Striking is a shorter distance between the on the feeder 6 located foremost sheet 1 'and the sheet 1' on the saddle 12, which assumes the position on Rechtsbündigkeit with the sewn book blocks 20 behind the stapler 15, opposite to each other on the feed conveyor 6 moving sheet 1 'shorter fold length.
The offset on the saddle 12 in stitching or Nählage printed sheet 1, 1 'is, as shown in FIG. 1, lifted by a pivoting movement in the sewing position to the side and there sewn to a book block 20 with other sheet 1.

Bei der Schwenkbewegung des Heftsattels 12 wird der Druckbogen 1, 1' von der Einschubvorrichtung 14 rechtwinklig zur Zuführrichtung weggehoben.
Für den in der Nähposition durchgeführten Heftvorgang, der in den EP - B - 0 537 106 und 0 603 126 ausführlich beschrieben ist, sind in der einzigen Figur jeweils zwei Nähnadeln 22 dargestellt.During the pivoting movement of the binding saddle 12, the printing sheet 1, 1 'is lifted away from the insertion device 14 at right angles to the feed direction.
For the stapling operation performed in the sewing position, which is described in detail in EP-B-0 537 106 and 0 603 126, two sewing needles 22 are shown in the single figure.

Die Druckbogen 1, 1' werden auf den Zuförderer 6 in regelmässigen Abständen geführt. Auf dem letzten Förderabschnitt vom Zuförderer 6 auf den Heftsattel 12 bleibt die Förderrichtung erhalten, hingegen verkürzt sich die letzte Wegstrecke, indem die zugeführten kürzeren Druckbogen 1' mit der nachlaufenden Kopf- oder Fusskante 25, 25' auf dem Heftsattel 12 nach der Kopf- oder Fusskante 26, 26' des sich rechtwinklig zur Zuführrichtung entwickelnden, genähten Buchblockstapels 27 ausgerichtet sind.
Der Transport eines Druckbogens 1, 1' vom Zuförderer 6 auf den Heftsattel wird mit einer Positioniervorrichtung durchgeführt, die wie in der einzigen Figur veranschaulicht aus einem zyklisch um zwei Rollen 16, 17 laufenden endlosen Band 13 als Einschubvorrichtung 14 ausgebildet sein kann, wobei der dem Heftsattel 12 benachbarte Trum 18 die Druckbogen 1, 1' am Zuförderer 6 reibschlüssig erfasst und auf dem Heftsattel 12 in die Lage des anschliessenden Nähvorgangs versetzt. Die exakte Positionierung des Druckbogens 1, 1' auf dem Heftsattel 12 kann mit zusätzlicher Hilfe eines Positionieranschlages 21 erfolgen, der automatisch oder manuell nach dem Format der zu verarbeitenden Druckbogen 1, 1' verstellt werden kann.The printing sheets 1, 1 'are guided on the feed conveyor 6 at regular intervals.
