Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for Buffering rows of cut goods arranged in rows between a cutting station and a further processing station.
  • a method and apparatus for cutting in stacks present sheet of paper, cardboard, plastic film or the like, especially for cutting collective sheets, is off DE-A-31 01 911 known.
  • the device for Cutting designed as a face cutting machine. To ensure, that the stack of knives on the desired dividing lines is cut, the feed of the stack under the Knife be very precise. Already slight shifts to Example of dimensional deviations due to paper warping can lead to that the cut of the knife is no longer at the desired dividing line done, but is shifted from this. Especially at Collection sheets on which a variety of labels are printed , this would result in the individual patterns being cut would. To prevent this, the collecting sheets printed in such a way that the individual patterns are not direct come to rest against each other, but between these distances remain.
  • each stack row After 90 ° rotation after each main cut there is a row of piles that fail several, based on the orientation of the cutting knife small cuboid stacks arranged side by side is formed, each stack row also cuboid shape having. These stacks become a processing station fed in, for example, punched or bundled become.
  • EP-A-0 242 763 discloses a cutting station consisting of two face cutting machines, in which the second face cutting machine in the production flow generates the row of stacks of material to be cut and an ejector is provided for conveying the row of stacks in the longitudinal direction thereof.
  • it is known in such a cutting system to push the respective stack row generated during the cutting onto a side table by means of the pusher, which are then pushed directly into a further processing station in which the respective stack is banded.
  • a multiple bundler with feed slide unit is known. This is used for bundling of batches of batches of batches that consist of individual batches of batches, thus for handling large-sized goods and consequently not for batches.
  • the invention proposes a method for solving this problem according to the features of claim 1.
  • This concerns a special buffering of those incurred for each cut Batch row.
  • the respective stack row is in the entrance area of the buffer and from there a compensation area fed.
  • the output of further rows of stacks to the entrance area of the Buffers are several rows of stacks in the compensation area of the Buffer accumulated and depending on the needs in the Output area of the buffer further promoted.
  • batch rows continuously to the further processing station can be promoted takes place in the compensation area collecting the rows of stacks before the Processing the batch rows in the exit area in the exit area are promoted so that stacks or Batch rows are available for further processing.
  • the stack row or the unit is conveyed in particular by pushing them. It’s so easy and way ensures that the individual stacks are precise in the predetermined positions can be moved.
  • a special embodiment of the method according to the invention before that the resulting stack row during the respective cutting process is blocked electrostatically. This happens in particular before conveying the stack row into the entrance area of the Buffers.
  • the electrostatic blocking of the respective stack row allows this to be done in different ways promote, for example also by means of conveyor belts that in Active connection with the individual stacks of the stack row are feasible.
  • the one to be conveyed to the further processing station is preferably Row of stacks before conveying to the processing station separated from the adjacent row of stacks. This ensures that when conveying the adjacent rows of stacks to each other there is no relative movement of the individual arches.
  • the invention also proposes a device for performing of the inventive method before, according to the features of claim 10 is formed.
  • the conveying bodies are useful as a slide, especially as pneumatically or electrically operated slide formed. While it is the purpose of the second funding body, that of the stacking row output to the cutting station by a defined one To be transported further, so that the next stack row from the Cutting station can be issued, comes the third Funding body the task of several of the second funding body issued rows of piles to promote to the fourth funding body, that each batch row individually to the further processing station promotes. For this purpose, all funding bodies or all sliders, intelligently networked. So are especially means of registration for recording at least the end positions of the conveying paths of the Funding bodies provided. These detection means are, for example designed as light barriers, limit switches etc.
  • the Funding organs or sliders are controlled so that second funding body is not operated when the first Conveyor a stack of rows in the area of the second conveyor pushes and the third funding body then no funding movement into those lying on the table in the compensation area Stack rows can initiate when the second conveyor a Wants to advance stack row.
  • the third funding body may also then not the unit of rows of stacks in the area of fourth funding program, if this is included, the appropriate stack row to the processing station promote.
  • the prescribed electrostatic blocking of the respective Row of piles is expediently in the area of the first conveyor element by means of an appropriate device.
  • the buffer has a table 1 through an entrance table part 2, a central table part 3 and an exit table part 4 is formed.
  • the table parts 2, 3 and 4 have rectangular Surfaces for receiving the stacks of material to be cut.
  • the entrance table part 2 borders in the area of the longitudinal side 6 adjacent to Narrow side 7 to the central table part 3.
  • the exit table part 4 borders with its long side 8 to the other narrow side 9 of the central table part 3.
  • the entrance table part 2 is in the area its essentially an escape with the narrow side 7 of the central table part 3 forming long side 10 with one over the length of the entrance table part 2 extending side ruler 11 provided that perpendicular to the table surface 5 protrudes, and has a height that is slightly higher than the maximum insertion height of the material to be cut.
  • a ruler trained slide 12 which corresponds to the side ruler 11th is formed, slidably mounted in the central table part 3.
  • the slider 12 extends in essentially across the entire width of the central table section 3.
  • the central one Table part 3 has a side ruler 14 that extends over the entire Length of the table part 3 and largely across the width of the Output table part 4 extends.
  • the side ruler 14 is designed according to the side ruler 11.
  • a ruler trained slide 15 movably mounted in the field of Long side 13 of the central table part.
  • the slide 15 is designed in accordance with the slide 12 and its slide level oriented parallel to the slide plane of the slide 12, the slider 15 substantially over the entire length of the central table part 3 can be moved and lifting and is lowerable.
  • the exit table part 4 points in the area of its other long side 16 a parallel to the slider 12 and 15th arranged side ruler 17, which extends over the entire Length of the output table part 4 extends.
  • Parallel to the side ruler 17 is a narrow, perpendicular to the table surface 5 lifting and lowerable slide 18 substantially over the entire length the exit table part 4 movable.
  • the slide 18 is on the side of the side ruler 17 facing the slide 15 arranged and relatively narrow, so that it is suitable is to move a stack row 19 in the longitudinal direction.
