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 producing Books or brochures with a foldable book block thread-stitched printed sheets that spread in the middle with down directed side panels in a predetermined order one after the other with one perpendicular to the fold of the Printing sheet arranged stapling device interacting Staple saddle are fed on which they are after the stapling position positioned and then attached to the stapler for the Sewing 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 type are carried out, inter alia, with thread-stitching machines called "Inventa" from Muller Martini Buchbindesysteme AG.
For the time being, printed sheets collected in loose stacks are separated in a predetermined sequence and transferred to a conveying device, opened in the middle of the conveying path and delivered astride an intermediate conveyor connected to a stitching saddle of a stitching device. At the conveying end of the intermediate conveyor, a printed sheet is grasped by an insertion device on the leading sheet edge and moved against a position stop located on the left-hand side of the stitching saddle; this applies to both small and large format printed sheets.
This means that both the shortest printed sheet on the intermediate conveyor and the longest printed sheet cover the same distance from the intermediate conveyor to the position stop on the saddle; the speed V is also the same for all printed sheets and about two hundred printed sheets per minute are sewn by the stitching device, ie more than three printed sheets per second.
The transfer of the printed sheets from the intermediate conveyor to the stitching saddle necessitates a brief acceleration of the printed sheets recorded on the intermediate conveyor in order to gain distance and is not without problems.
Print sheets that have a shorter fold length and the associated higher instability 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 stressed accordingly.
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 a method and a To create facility with those for press sheets with one shorter fold length than the maximum permissible printing sheet format one that has the reliability of processing Printing sheets on the way from the intermediate conveyor or feed conveyor can be increased to the saddle.
Erfindungsgemäss wird dies in verfahrensmässiger Hinsicht dadurch
die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils von Anspruch 1 erreicht,
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 from the procedural point of view of the features of the characterizing part of claim 1, so that the transfer of a printed sheet from the intermediate conveyor takes place more gently than before and the impact of the printed sheets at a position stop assigned to the tacking saddle can be considerably refined.
This means that the path and speed of a corresponding print sheet from the intermediate conveyor to the saddle is reduced in the available constant cycle time of processing. This also justifies 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 measure according to the invention would be the shorter route alternatively, the printed sheet from the intermediate conveyor to the saddle allow the possibility to drive a higher cycle time i.e. a higher throughput of printed sheets in the same time range achieve, on the other hand the degree of improvement 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 zugeführten Druckbogens nach Lage 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 an at least two driven sewing needles, fed by a feed conveyor, to form a stitching device having at least two seams running at right angles to the longitudinal extension of a book block, and an associated one, which connects the feed conveyor at the conveying end in time with the supplied printed sheets, transversely to the feed direction of the printed sheets reciprocating saddle, and according to the invention is characterized by an associated with the saddle, the trailing edge of a supplied sheet according to the position of the head or foot edge of a positioning device at least partially sewn by the stapling device.
This makes it easy to achieve higher processing reliability for printed sheets with a shorter fold length than the maximum permissible, or to 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.The positioning device advantageously has a printed sheet insertion device picking up from the feed conveyor, the a 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.In order to be able to process printed sheets with different fold lengths, can alternatively the insertion device with this interacting positioning stop adjustable with respect to the saddle be assigned, which allows a vote to make a gentle transfer of the Printing sheet between feed conveyor and saddle can be done.
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 slide-in device enables one Transfer of the printed sheets also without position stop, e.g. due to generated friction between the insertion device and Printed 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 Endless belt formed around parallel axes be, of which one strand in the feed direction of the printed sheets 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 the Format resp. the fold length of a printed 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

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
