Definitions

  • the invention relates to a web feed for a Folding apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • DE 94 21 467 U1 are from a first and second superstructure of existing paper web feeds known, between which a free continuous, of Paper guide rollers more limited Partial paper web guide shaft is arranged. Between the superstructures and a strand inlet of the folder or cross folding unit are optionally one Longitudinal folding device for so-called “funnel production” or a train for so-called “magazine production” intended.
  • the invention has for its object a To create web feed for a folder.
  • the number of production variants is increased.
  • the variability of the products produced for the funnel production or for the magazine production is increased with an already low overall height of the two-part compact superstructure.
  • a reduced technical effort also arises because the web feed can be used for both of the above types of production.
  • Wide webs of material can advantageously be processed with two transverse folding units. If two transverse folding units are arranged pointing in the same direction, a replacement function can be performed by using the second transverse folding unit if the first transverse folding unit fails, without changing the shape of the forme cylinder.
  • Each of the partial paper web guide groups A1 to A6 and B1 to B6 have one of the turning bars 24 to 35, one of the register rollers 39 to 50 and one of the Guide rollers 54 to 65.
  • each by 90 ° over the Turning bars 24 to 35 turned and in horizontal Direction of partial paper webs 4 to 9 of Superstructure B or 10 to 15 of superstructure A are in Direction of the respective side frames 1 and 2 out and are then in each case the superiors in superstructure B;
  • the guide rollers 54 to 65 are expediently as separately driven in each case Draw rollers run and are shown in the following Description however referred to as guide rolls. Consequently are A1, B1 to A6, B6 guide rollers in each level, Register rollers and a plurality of turning bars, z. B. arranged two turning bars.
  • The are the first side of the shaft 52 via the guide rollers 54 to 59 guided partial paper webs 4 to 9 to a first Partial paper web strand 67 and the one on the second Manhole side 53 guided over the guide rollers 60 to 65 Partial paper webs 10 to 15 to a second Partial paper web strand 68 united.
  • the two partial paper web strands 67; 68 will be on lower end 69 of the partial paper web guide shaft 51 in each case via guide rollers 71; 72 and pull roller pairs 73; 75 to a train C; D led, which is located in a machine level below the Superstructure A; B is located.
  • Each train C; D is used for "magazine production” used and consists of a pair of pull rollers 74; 76th
  • the pairs of pull rollers 74; 76 are at least horizontal spaced apart and can be in separate side frames not shown.
  • each Train C; D is one level above one strand inlet E or F two in the lowest Level L transverse folding units G; H (Fig. 1).
  • the transverse folding units G; H stand "back to back” and point with their delivery straps in opposite directions (Fig. 1). It is also possible that the transverse folding units G; H are arranged one behind the other and point in the same direction with the delivery belts. Finally, it is possible to use both transverse folding units G; H to be arranged side by side in the axial direction.
  • the transverse folding units G; H can be designed as so-called flap folders or as so-called wheel folders.
  • the strand inlet E; F of each cross folding unit G; H exists from a pair of pull rollers 78; 79 each for retraction one of the two partial paper web strands 67; 68 as well a known strand cross cutting device 81; 82 the transverse folding unit G; H.
  • All shafts or axes of the register rollers 39 to 50 and the guide rollers 54 to 60, the guide rollers 71; 72 the rolling of the strand inlets E; F and the Strand cross cutters 81; 82 run axially parallel to each other and perpendicular to the shafts or axes of the printing units of the Fed rotary printing press.
  • the two superstructured A; B separating Partial paper web guide shaft 51 to form the Partial paper web strands 67; 68 takes on his Shaft sides 52; 53 arranged one above the other Guide rollers 54 to 59 and 60 to 65 of the superstructured B; A on, the guide rollers 54 to 59 of the superstructure B in a plane 86 and the guide rollers 60 to 65 des Superstructure A is on level 85. Both Levels 85; 86 each cut a horizontal 84 in an acute angle Alpha 1; Alpha 2 and can run parallel to each other. In the direction of the Partial paper webs 9 to 15 are seen in front of each Guide rollers 59 to 65 a paper guide roller 87 to 93 arranged to better wrap the web to achieve associated guide roller 59 to 65.
  • the first partial paper web strand 67 can, from Pull roller pair 73 coming, the left pull mechanism C continuously, via a paper guide roller 83 in the left Strand inlet E of the left transverse folding unit G introduced become.
  • the second partial paper web strand 68 can a paper guide roller 102 following the left one Strand inlet E and thus the left cross folder G be assigned.
  • Partial paper web strands from broader partial paper webs are produced, which are subsequently cut and are to be crimped crosswise, then according to FIG printed, e.g. B. form cylinder-wide paper web with a Width b z. B. in five equally wide partial paper webs 96 cut up to 100 lengthways.
  • the partial paper webs 96 up to 100 become superstructure A; B led (same parts mean the same reference numerals), the Partial paper webs 96; 97; 98 via the turning bars 24; 27; 29 in the partial paper web guide groups B1, B4, B6 to the left of the partial paper web guide shaft 51 turned and guided horizontally and the partial paper webs 99; 100 via the turning bars 30; 35 in the Partial web guide groups A1, A6 to the right of Partial paper web guide shaft 51 are turned, and as previously described, approximately vertically Towards the lower end 69 of the Partial paper web guide shaft 51 are guided. In this way, a common paper web strand 103 formed, which on a guide roller 71 a left Longitudinal folding unit I is fed, which is in a Machine level below superstructures A; B is located.
  • Both longitudinal folding units I; K are opposite one between plane 106 passing through them in the vertical direction arranged in mirror image and therefore with the same Provide reference numerals.
  • Each longitudinal folding unit I; K consists of a known Longitudinal folding former 107 with two arranged above it Funnel inlet roller pairs 108; 109, each of which only one roller is shown.
  • the parts 107; 108; 109 of Longitudinal folding unit I; K are in a separate one frame not shown.
  • the rack also takes one each over the longitudinal folding unit I; K located funnel inlet group M, which consists of five turning bars 113 to 117 arranged one above the other consists.
  • the turning bars 113 to 117 are each in about five in the same horizontal plane frame-fixed, axially parallel to the guide roller 71 Paper guide rollers 120 to 124 upstream and each paper guide rollers 131 located in the same plane subordinate to 135.
  • the superstructure B fed in a paper web strand 103 Partial paper webs 96 to 100 from the paper guide rollers 120 to 124 of the hopper inlet group M of the longitudinal folding unit I separated by 90 ° from vertical - into one horizontal direction, over the turning bars 113 to 117 and over the following Paper guide rollers 131 to 135 through 90 ° in a vertical, by 90 ° to the first vertical offset direction to Longitudinal folding unit I guided.
  • the two transverse folding units G; H are 0 in different horizontal planes; N arranged, the level N with the transverse folding mechanism G lies above the level 0.
  • the strand inlets are E; F offset and spaced p from each other.
  • the delivery belts for the printed products point in the same direction. This makes it possible for both transverse folding devices G; H can work separately or that in the event of failure of one of the transverse folding devices G or H, this production is taken over by the other transverse folding device.
