The end (46) of the support bench facing the support plate (20) has a slide unit (50) moving the basic stack towards the punching-tool. The end of the support bench facing the slide unit has an aligning element (44) which aligns the basic stack under the punching tool.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Stanzen eines Fertigstapels flächiger Gebilde, insbesondere von Etiketten, aus einem Grundstapel nach den Merkmalen der Oberbegriffe der Patentansprüche 1 und 5. Derartige Vorrichtung und Verfahren sind aus den Dokument FR-A-2202459 bekannt.The invention relates to a method and a device for punching a finished stack of flat structures, especially of labels, from a basic stack according to the Features of the preambles of claims 1 and 5. Such apparatus and methods are known from document FR-A-2202459.

Beim sogenannten Gegendruck-Durchstossstanzen mit entsprechenden Vorrichtungen, wie sie beispielsweise in DE-A-40 13 071 und WO-A-96/12593 beschrieben sind, wird jeweils ein Fertigstapel flächiger Gebilde, wie z.B. Etiketten, mittels eines als Hohlform ausgebildeten Stanzmessers in einem Hub aus einem Grundstapel flächiger Gebilde herausgestanzt und gleichzeitig in den Hohlraum des Stanzmessers hinein bzw. durch diesen hindurchgedrückt. Um ein Durchbiegen der oberen Blätter des Stapels beim Eindringen der Stanzmesserschneide in den Grundstapel zu verhindern - was zu Ungenauigkeiten mit Stanzabsätzen im Fertigstapel führen würde - wird durch den Hohlraum des Stanzmessers ein Gegendruckstempel hindurchgeführt, der unmittelbar vor und während des Stanzvorganges von Seite des Messers her gegen den durch ein Stanzelement gestützten Stapel drückt. Dadurch werden die flächigen Gebilde in einer bezüglich der Innenkontur der Schneiden des Stanzmessers etwa senkrechten Presshaltung durch das Stanzmesser hindurchgeführt. Die verwendeten Grundstapel haben eine einfache geometrische Form, die möglichst an die Form des auszustanzenden Fertigstapels angenähert und vorzugsweise rechteckig oder quadratisch ist. Sie werden aus Stapeln grosser Bögen zugeschnitten, ehe sie der Stanzvorrichtung zugeführt werden. Aus jedem Grundstapel wird ein Fertigstapel gestanzt. Das Zuschneiden der Grundstapel erfordert eine entsprechende Vorbereitung mit entsprechendem Zeitaufwand und eine passende Schneidemaschine.With the so-called counter-pressure punching with corresponding devices, such as in DE-A-40 13 071 and WO-A-96/12593 are described one finished stack each of flat structures, such as Labels, by means of a hollow form Stamping knife flat in one stroke from a basic stack Formations punched out and at the same time in the cavity of the punch knife into or through this pushed through. To deflect the upper leaves of the stack when the punch knife edge penetrates into the Prevent basic stack - resulting in inaccuracies Would lead to punched paragraphs in the finished stack - will a counter pressure stamp in the cavity of the punching knife carried out immediately before and during the Punching process from the side of the knife against the presses a punch-supported stack. This will the flat structures in one with respect to the inner contour cutting the punch knife approximately vertical Press holding passed through the punch knife. The Basic stacks used have a simple geometric Shape that matches the shape of the die to be punched out Finished stack approximated and preferably rectangular or is square. They become stacks of large sheets cut before they are fed to the punching device become. Every basic stack becomes a finished stack punched. Trimming the basic stacks requires one Appropriate preparation with the appropriate amount of time and a suitable cutting machine.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit dem bzw. der das Stanzen von Fertigstapeln flächiger Gebilde aus Grundstapeln ohne vorangehendes aufwendiges Vorschneiden der Grundstapel möglich ist.The object of the present invention is therefore a To provide methods and an apparatus with which the punching of finished stacks is more extensive Formations from basic stacks without previous complex Pre-cutting the basic stack is possible.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Verfahren gemäss den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 und eine Vorrichtung gemäss den Merkmalen des Anspruches 5.The task is solved by a method according to the Features of claim 1 and a device according to the Features of claim 5.

Durch das Vereinen mehrerer aufeinanderfolgender Stanzvorgänge in einem Stanzzyklus, während dem ein langgestreckter, quaderförmiger Grundstapel zwischen den einzelnen Stanzvorgängen in Richtung seiner Längsachse auf ein Stanzmesser zu verschoben und jeweils neu unter dem Stanzmesser ausgerichtet wird, ist es möglich, während des Stanzzyklus' mit dem Stanzmesser mehrere Fertigstapel flächiger Gebilde aus dem einen Grundstapel auszustanzen. Ein Vorschneiden einzelner Grundstapel, aus denen dann jeweils nur ein einziger Fertigstapel ausgestanzt wird, entfällt somit, was eine entsprechende Schneidvorrichtung überflüssig macht und Zeit spart.By combining several consecutive Punching operations in a punching cycle during which a elongated, cuboid basic stack between the individual punching operations in the direction of its longitudinal axis a punch knife moved and new under the Punch knife is aligned, it is possible during the Punching cycle 'with the punching knife several finished stacks to punch out flat structures from the one basic stack. A pre-cutting of individual basic stacks, from which then only one finished batch is punched out at a time, is therefore not necessary what a corresponding cutting device makes unnecessary and saves time.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung ist, dass der relativ grosse Ausschuss, d.h. der anfallende, nichtverwertbare Rest, der bisher beim Ausstanzen eines einzigen Fertigstapels aus einem Grundstapel übrig blieb, beträchtlich vermindert wird, da die auszustanzenden flächigen Gebilde sozusagen ineinander verschachtelt im Grundstapel angeordnet sein können. Der Grundstapel wird in optimaler Weise also zwischen den Stanzvorgängen nur um die Länge bzw. Breite eines Fertigstapels verschoben, was eine beträchtliche Materialeinsparung ermöglicht.Another advantage of the invention is that it is relatively large rejects, i.e. the accruing, unusable Rest, so far when punching out a single one Finished stack from a basic stack remained, is considerably reduced since the punched flat structures, so to speak, nested one inside the other Basic stack can be arranged. The basic stack is in an optimal way just between the punching processes the length or width of a finished batch shifted what allows a considerable saving of material.

Vorteilhafter Weise wird der Fertigstapel durch einen Gegendruckstempel in Richtung auf ein als Auflageplatte ausgebildetes Stanzelement aus dem Stanzmesser herausgedrückt und durch eine Aufnahmevorrichtung seitlich aus dem Bereich zwischen Stanzmesser und Auflagetisch entfernt. Dadurch kann gleichzeitig mit dem seitlichen Entfernen des Fertigstapels aus dem Stanzbereich der Grundstapel in Richtung auf das Stanzmesser verschoben und unter diesem ausgerichtet werden, was die Zeit zwischen zwei Stanzvorgängen verkürzt.The finished stack is advantageously replaced by a Counter pressure stamp in the direction of a as a platen formed punching element from the punching knife pushed out and laterally by a cradle from the area between the punching knife and the support table away. This can be done simultaneously with the side Remove the finished stack from the punching area of the Basic stack moved in the direction of the punch knife and be aligned under this what the time between shortened two punching processes.

Eine erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung gemäss den Merkmalen des Anspruches 4 erlaubt ein Ausstanzen mehrerer Fertigstapel aus einem langgestreckten, quaderförmigen Grundstapel, ohne dass dieser vorgängig in einzelne Grundstapel vorgeschnitten werden müsste. Die durch das Eindringen des Stanzmessers zueinander verschobenen flächigen Gebilde des Grundstapels können mit Hilfe eines als Anschlag dienenden Ausrichteelementes, gegen das der Grundstapel mit Hilfe eines Schiebeelementes verschoben wird, wieder unter dem Stanzmesser ausgerichtet werden.A device according to the invention according to the features of claim 4 allows punching out several Finished stack from an elongated, cuboid Basic stack without first dividing it into individual Basic stack would have to be pre-cut. The through that Penetration of the punch knife shifted to each other flat structures of the basic stack can be created using a serving as a stop aligning element against which the Basic stack shifted with the help of a sliding element will be aligned again under the punch knife.

Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der Anschlag auswechselbar, so dass bei einem Wechsel des Stanzmessers eine Anschlagfläche des Ausrichteelementes einer neuen Aussenkontur des Stanzmesser angepasst werden kann.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the Interchangeable stop, so that when changing the Stamping knife a stop surface of the alignment element be adapted to a new outer contour of the punching knife can.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Abstand zwischen Auflageplatte und Stanzmesser auf mindestens zwei Stapelhöhen einstellbar ist, da so gleichzeitig mit dem Verschieben und Ausrichten des Grundstapels unter dem Stanzmesser seitlich eine Aufnahmeeinrichtung zum Entfernen des Fertigstapels zwischen Stanzmesser und Auflageplatte hin- und herbewegbar ist.It is particularly advantageous if the distance between Platen and punch knife on at least two Stack heights can be adjusted, because at the same time as the Move and align the basic stack under the Punching knife on the side a holder for Remove the finished stack between the punch knife and Platen is movable back and forth.

Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen und aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung. Dort wird die Erfindung anhand eines in den Zeichnungen schematisch dargestellten Beispiels näher erläutert.Further advantages of the invention result from the dependent claims and from the following Description. There, the invention is based on a Drawings schematically illustrated example explained.

The shape of the Finished stack 52, i.e. the area to be punched out Formations, preferably labels, is in theirs Longitudinal extension arranged transversely to the base stack 26, such as this can be seen from Fig. 2. The finished stacks 52 are nested in such a way that the base stack 26 between the individual punching processes of a punching cycle - during which the number of all from a basic stack 26 punchable finished stack 52 is punched out of this - in each case only by the width of a finished stack 52 in Direction is moved to the punch knife 16. The Alignment of the punch knife 16 to the base stack 26 remains unchanged throughout the punching cycle, i.e. the Punching knife 16 does not have to be rotated or parallel to Base stack 26 and to the support table 22 are moved. In addition, the width of the base stack 26 is approximately the same the longitudinal extent of the shape of the finished stack 52, so that the waste remaining after a punching cycle is minimal is.

Anhand der Fig. 4 bis 13 werden nun die einzelnen Schritte des Verfahrens genauer beschrieben. Dabei sind von der Vorrichtung 10 jeweils nur die für den jeweiligen Vorgang wesentlichen Elemente dargestellt.4 to 13, the individual steps are now of the method described in more detail. Here are from Device 10 only those for the respective process essential elements shown.

Die Fig. 4 bis 7 zeigen einen frisch in die Vorrichtung 10 eingebrachten, langgestreckten, quaderförmigen Grundstapel 26 mit einer Vielzahl von Fertigstapeln 52, deren Form durch die Form der auszustanzenden flächigen Gebilde (Etiketten) bestimmt ist. Dieser Grundstapel 26 wird zunächst, vgl. hierzu Fig. 4 und 5, vom Schiebeelement 50 gegen einen rechtwinklig zum Auflagetisch 22 und zur Auflagefläche 13 des Maschinengestells 12 ausgerichteten Teil der Anschlagfläche 48' des Ausrichteelementes 44 geschoben und von einem Niederhalter 36 bezüglich der nichtdargestellten Auflagefläche 13 des Maschinengestelles 12 ausgerichtet und gehalten.4 to 7 show a fresh in the device 10th introduced, elongated, cuboid basic stack 26 with a large number of finished stacks 52, the shape of which by the shape of the flat structures to be punched out (Labels) is determined. This basic stack 26 is first, cf. 4 and 5, of the sliding element 50 against one at right angles to the support table 22 and Support surface 13 of the machine frame 12 aligned Part of the stop surface 48 'of the alignment element 44 pushed and by a hold-down 36 with respect to the not shown support surface 13 of the machine frame 12 aligned and held.

Vor dem Ausstanzen des Fertigstapels 52 wird der Gegendruckstempel 18 gegen den von der Auflageplatte 20 gestützten Grundstapel 26 gedrückt, was hier nicht dargestellt ist, und das Schiebeelement 50 sowie das Ausrichteelement 44 und vorteilhafterweise auch der Niederhalter 36 werden vom Grundstapel 26 zurückgezogen (vgl. Fig. 6 und 7). Dadurch sind zwar die den Grundstapel 26 bildenden flächigen Gebilde 54 frei gegeneinander verschiebbar, sie können sich aber nicht in Richtung des Stanzmessers 16 aufwölben. Die als Stanzelement 14 dienende Auflageplatte 20, welche den ersten zu stanzenden Fertigstapel 52' stützt, sowie der weitere Teil des Auflagetisches 22 (jeweils nicht dargestellt) werden gegen das Stanzmesser 16 und gegen den Gegendruckstempel 18 verschoben (siehe auch Fig. 7), so dass der erste Fertigstapel 52 aus dem Grundstapel 26 gestanzt wird, wie dies in den Fig. 6 und 7 dargestellt ist.Before the finished stack 52 is punched out, the Counter pressure stamp 18 against that of the platen 20th supported base stack 26, which is not here is shown, and the sliding element 50 and that Alignment element 44 and advantageously also Hold-down devices 36 are withdrawn from the base stack 26 (see Figs. 6 and 7). This makes them the basic stack 26 forming flat structures 54 freely against each other slidable, but they cannot move in the direction of the Bulge punch 16. The punching element 14 serving platen 20 which the first to be punched Finished stack 52 'supports, as well as the further part of the Support table 22 (each not shown) are against the punch knife 16 and against the counter pressure stamp 18th shifted (see also Fig. 7), so that the first Finished stack 52 is punched out of the basic stack 26, such as this is shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

Bedingt durch die konische Aussenform seiner Schneide 58 verschiebt das Stanzmesser 16 beim Eindringen in den Grundstapel 26 die einzelnen flächigen Gebilde 54 des Grundstapels 26 gegeneinander, was in einer schrägen Stirnfläche 56 des verbleibenden Grundstapels 26 resultiert, wie dies in den Fig. 8 bis 10 dargestellt ist.Due to the conical shape of its cutting edge 58 moves the punch knife 16 when entering the Basic stack 26, the individual flat structures 54 of the Base stack 26 against each other, which in an oblique End face 56 of the remaining base stack 26 results, as shown in Figs. 8-10.

Der Auflagetisch 22 mit der Auflageplatte 14/20 wird nach dem Stanzen des Fertigstapels 52 in seine Ausgangsposition zurückbewegt, so dass sich der Grundstapel wieder auf der Höhe des Ausrichteelementes 44 und des Schiebeelementes 50 befindet, wie dies in den Fig. 8 bis 10 gezeigt ist. The support table 22 with the support plate 14/20 is after punching the finished stack 52 into its starting position moved back so that the basic stack is back on the Height of the alignment element 44 and the sliding element 50 located as shown in Figs. 8-10.

Das anschliessende Herausdrücken des Fertigstapels 52 aus dem Stanzmesser 16 und das seitliche Entfernen des Fertigstapels 52 aus dem Stanzbereich 38 ist in WO-A-96/12593 beschrieben. Der Abstand d zwischen Auflageplatte 20 und Stanzmesser 16 beträgt dabei mindestens zwei Stapelhöhen h des Grundstapels 26. Gleichzeitig mit diesem Vorgang wird der Grundstapel 26 mit der schrägen Stirnfläche 56, die die Aussenkontur des Stanzmessers wiedergibt, mit Hilfe des Schiebeelementes 50 gegen die Anschlagfläche 48' des Ausrichteelementes 44 geschoben, die der Aussenkontur des Stanzmessers 16 angepasst ist, wie dies aus den Fig. 11 bis 13 ersichtlich ist.The subsequent pushing out of the finished stack 52 the punch knife 16 and the lateral removal of the Finished stack 52 from the punching area 38 is in WO-A-96/12593 described. The distance d between the platen 20 and punch knife 16 is at least two Stack heights h of the basic stack 26. Simultaneously with this Operation becomes the basic stack 26 with the oblique End face 56, which is the outer contour of the punch knife reproduces, using the sliding element 50 against the Pushed stop surface 48 'of the alignment element 44, which is adapted to the outer contour of the punching knife 16, as can be seen from FIGS. 11 to 13.

Die eben beschriebenen Schritte des Stanzvorganges und des Verschiebens und Ausrichtens des Grundstapels 26 wiederholen sich solange bis ein Stanzzyklus beendet ist, d.h. bis alle aus dem Grundstapel 26 ausstanzbaren Fertigstapel 52 aus dem Grundstapel 26 ausgestanzt sind.The steps of the punching process and the just described Moving and aligning the base stack 26 repeat themselves until a punching cycle has ended, i.e. until all can be punched out of the basic stack 26 Finished stacks 52 are punched out of the base stack 26.

Die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung 10 mit der als Teil des Auflagetisches 22 ausgebildeten und als Stanzelement 14 dienenden Auflageplatte 20, dem Niederhalter 36, dem Schiebeelement 50 und dem Ausrichteelement 44 sowie das mit dieser Vorrichtung 10 ausführbare Verfahren können natürlich nicht nur mit einer Ettikettenstanzvorrichtung wie sie hier und in der WO-A- 96/12593 beschrieben ist, kombiniert und durchgeführt werden. Geeignet wäre auch jede andere zum Gegendruck-Durchstossstanzen vorgesehene Vorrichtung, so wie beispielsweise auch die in DE-A-40 13 071 beschriebene Vorrichtung.The device 10 according to the invention as part of the Support table 22 designed and as a stamping element 14 serving platen 20, the hold-down 36, the Sliding element 50 and the alignment element 44 and that methods that can be carried out with this device 10 of course not just with a label punching device as described here and in WO-A-96/12593, be combined and carried out. Would also be suitable any other intended for back pressure punching Device, such as that in DE-A-40 13 071 described device.
