Definitions

  • the present invention relates to printing presses and, more particularly, to a device for folding signatures in the folder of a printing press.
  • the printing, shaping, folding and cutting processes are often carried out by a machine in continuous operation, whereby a sheet of blank paper fed from a roll and a printed, cut and folded product, often referred to as a signature.
  • a web moves through the process to a finished product a number of processing units, such as u. a. through the printing units, the dryer, the cooling unit, the folder and the stacking device.
  • processing units in the folder is a device for generating a second Longitudinal fold.
  • the generation of a second longitudinal fold in the web running direction takes place, for. B. after the Signature or the bow has been cut off from the web. So the signature can have already been folded before it receives the second longitudinal fold.
  • the signatures one after the other Folding mechanism are fed, which moves down to the respective signature and this drives through a slot and between ready rollers, which the Fold signature.
  • the signatures are made with a second longitudinal fold to be provided, presented in a 50% duty cycle, d. that is, one Signature of a specific length a distance of approximately the same length follows until the next signature appears.
  • the folding mechanism moves up Down signatures that are presented in half the time of the work cycle.
  • Signatures are delayed to include signature groups, such as B. to form signature pairs, which are then folded by a folding knife of the appropriate size, and the Speed at which the signatures are conveyed and the folding speed can be varied due to the formation of the signature groups.
  • a achieved higher signature throughput performance because with a single device for Generate a second longitudinal fold only one fold cycle for several signatures is performed.
  • the signatures are grouped into pairs, for example, then with a single folding knife of suitable length, e.g. B. an extended Folding knife, a second longitudinal fold is generated in the group of signatures.
  • the Folding device according to the invention can thus signature pairs and thus a larger one Record number of signatures in a 50% duty cycle, with the Signature throughput is increased.

  • This larger space allows a folding mechanism such. B. can maintain a 50% duty cycle while the number of Signatures that have a second longitudinal fold in a given period of time be increased, or while the folding speed is at the same number of reduced signatures to be folded in a given period of time or one A combination of both options is used.
