Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for aligning a automatic stack changer according to the preamble of the process or Device claim.
  • the sheets to be printed are printed by the Removed the top of a feeder stack and a conveyor table to one Plant transported.
  • sheetfed offset printing presses in the order of 1mm and more processed and also with a high Printing speed can be conveyed through the machine (10,000 to 15,000 Sheets / h), the stacks in the feeder of the machine are processed relatively quickly.
  • EP 0 398 214 shows a method and an apparatus according to the respective preamble of claim 1 and claim 8.
  • a distance measuring system is known from DE 4 129 702 C2, which in particular the special application of stack alignment in an automatic Stack changer is used.
  • This system consists of two after the Triangulation principle working measuring channels, through which the distance to the side surface of the remaining stack or that of the main stack is detectable in order to these stacks then relative to one another via corresponding positioning devices align.
  • this special measurement system no one succeeds Alignment of an auxiliary stack support device with horizontally movable bars relative to a pallet with a groove profile on the top.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a method and a device to align an automatic stack changer according to the generic term to expand the process or device claim in such a way, so that while avoiding the disadvantages mentioned above, a simple and safe positioning of the bars of the auxiliary stack support device to the corresponding structured surface of the pallets receiving the main stack is guaranteed.
  • the position of this new pallet is sensed, to determine the amount of travel towards the A or B side of the bars
  • the auxiliary stack support device must be moved precisely into the grooves to be able to dip between the webs on the top of the pallet.
  • this is achieved in a first preferred embodiment by that in the lower area of the feeder is designed as a reflection light sensor Sensor is arranged by means of the lateral orientation of the pallet or the groove profile with the main stack on the stack support plate is noticeable.
  • This reflection light scanner is one of these Height in the lower area of the feeder, preferably arranged in the middle thereof, so that after placing a new pallet on top of it located stack and lifting the stack support plate by a predetermined The effective sensing range is exactly at the height of the groove profile the pallet lies. Then the stack support plate by predetermined travel amounts move in the direction of the A and / or B side, that due to the key signals the position of the grooves or the webs between them can be determined by the sensor is.
  • the stack support plate To determine the position of a groove, it may be sufficient to use the stack support plate only move in one direction (e.g. A-side) to get out of the Signal change of the sensor to determine the position of the groove. A higher accuracy results, however, when the stack support plate by predetermined travel amounts is moved in both directions and thus from the signal curve of the Sensors in connection with the control signals for the pos drive of the stack support plate the center of a groove is determined.
  • one direction e.g. A-side
  • the stacking support plate can be put back into the Basic position (middle of feeder). From the situation at least one Groove or a web can then be determined by how much the bars or the whole Auxiliary stack support device must be moved in the direction of the A or B side (starting from a zero position), so that to remove the remaining stack Can insert rods precisely into the grooves of the pallet. In this from the location The support rods remain in the pallet on the position dependent on the stack support plate then until a new run-in, i.e. until a new pallet with new stack is put on. After removing the remaining stack from the pallet the new main stack is turned into one by lateral alignment movements Remaining stack of congruent position spent, including the side edges of the rest and Main stack scanning detectors are provided.
  • the pallet is measured by a in the lower area of the Sensor arranged by the investor (diffuse sensor).
  • the one with the Interaction of the top of the pallet in the area of the groove profile is due to the Periodicity of the groove profile the minimum displacement of the support rods of the auxiliary stack support device can be determined so that they collision-free in the between the Grooves located on the top of the pallet can dip.
  • this one sensor can also determine whether the pallet is in one correct orientation to the stack support plate has been placed, in particular whether the edge of the pallet is parallel or sufficiently parallel to a corresponding one Aligning edge of the stack support plate runs.
  • a sensor can also determine whether the correct pallet type is used at all a pallet, which has the one to be measured on its top Has groove profile. This would be without any groove profile when using a pallet on the top by measuring the Stack support plate no change of the tactile signal detectable when moving the pallet.
  • the orientation the pallet placed on the stack support plate by means of two of them spacing sensors.
  • the corresponding Travel signal of the drive of the lateral positioning device Stack support plate in connection with the signals from the sensors the travel amount determines by which the bars or the entire auxiliary stack support device with the rods contained in it must be moved in the direction of the A or B side.
  • the stack support plate of the main stack is moved back to the zero position are then aligned laterally over the stack support plate be that the side edges of the main stack with the through the support rods of the Auxiliary stack support device collapsed remaining stack (align). Then the remaining stack is combined with the new main stack by pulling out the bars of the auxiliary stack support.
  • the stack support plate and the auxiliary stack support device move as long as synchronous, i.e. the corresponding drives are sensory Move the top edge of the stack synchronously until the remaining stack has reached an intended minimum height, whereupon the stack support plate lowered and loaded into a new pallet together with the main stack Basic position is moved on the ground. After placing a new stack In addition to the pallet, the position of the pallet is then measured around the Insert the support rods into the grooves on the top of the pallet without collision can.
  • a sheetfed offset printing machine 1 is fed by a feeder 2 in between located conveyor table arch fed. This will be done in investor 2 4 sheets from the top of a stack by means of sheet separation devices S taken (Fig. 1).
