Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Zusammentragen flacher Produkte gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a device for gathering flat products according to the preamble of claim 1.
Zur Herstellung von Druckprodukten, wie Broschüren, Büchern oder Magazinen, ist es notwendig, mehrere Falz- oder Planobogen bzw. Karten oder ähnliches Druckrnaterial zusammenzustellen, damit dieses in einer Heftmaschine oder einem Klebebinder zu einem Endprodukt verarbeitet werden kann. Des weiteren werden häufig in sogenannten Einsteckmaschinen oder Insertem Einlagen, wie Broschüren, CDs oder ähnliches bedrucktes oder unbedrucktes Material, zwischen einzelne Seiten in geöffnete Druckprodukte eingefügt. Um diesen technologischen Ablauf zu realisieren, werden Anleger über einer Transportvorrichtung, beispielsweise einer sogenannten Sammelkette, angeordnet. Dem zu bearbeitenden Material entsprechend, handelt es sich dabei um Anleger zur Verarbeitung liegender oder stehender Stapel. In diesem Zusammenhang werden unter Druckprodukt-Verarbeitungsmaschinen Maschinen zur Be- und/oder Verarbeitung von Druckprodukten verstanden, wie beispielsweise Sammelhefter, Zusammentragmaschinen, Einsteckmaschinen, Klebebinder oder dergleichen.For the production of printed products, such as brochures, books or magazines, it is necessary to put together several folded or plano sheets or cards or similar printed material, so that it can be processed in a stapler or a perfect binder to a final product. Furthermore, inserts, such as brochures, CDs or the like, printed or unprinted material are often inserted into open printed products between individual pages in so-called inserters or inserters. In order to realize this technological process, investors are arranged above a transport device, for example a so-called gathering chain. According to the material to be processed, these are feeders for processing horizontal or vertical stacks. In this context, printed product processing machines are understood as machines for processing and / or processing printed products, such as saddle stitchers, collating machines, inserting machines, perfect binders or the like.
Aus DE 197 52 015 A1 ist beispielsweise ein Sammelhefter zur Herstellung von Druckprodukten, wie Zeitschriften, Broschüren, Büchern oder Magazinen, bekannt. Dieser weist eine Reihe von nacheinander angeordneten Anlegern, sowie eine Transporteinrichtung und Stationen zum Heften und Schneiden des Produktes auf. Die typische Maschinenkonstellation weist dabei fest verbundene Anleger auf. Die benötigten Anleger sind auf einem Maschinengestell fixiert und fest mit der Heftmaschine verbunden. Alle Komponenten können je nach Ausführungsform sowohl durch eine gemeinsame Welle von einer gemeinsamen Antriebsquelle als auch durch Einzelantriebe betrieben werden.From DE 197 52 015 A1, for example, a saddle stitcher for the production of printed products, such as magazines, brochures, books or magazines, known. This has a number of successively arranged investors, as well as a transport device and stations for stapling and cutting the product. The typical machine constellation has fixed investors. The required investors are fixed on a machine frame and firmly connected to the stapler. Depending on the embodiment, all components can be operated both by a common shaft from a common drive source and by individual drives.
Der bekannte Aufbau von derartigen Anlagen zur Herstellung von Broschüren, Büchern oder Magazinen oder Einsteckmaschinen, also Druckprodukt-Verarbeitungsmaschinen, weist aber einen wesentlichen Mangel auf. Die Position, d. h. die Reihenfolge der Anleger, ist fixiert und kann nur durch erheblichen Aufwand mechanisch verändert werden. Der Anlegeroberbau muss mittels Hebetechnik an seine jeweilige Position gesetzt und dort sowohl mechanisch, pneumatisch als auch elektrisch mit dem Anlegeruntergestell verbunden werden. Sofern ein Anleger zur Herstellung eines bestimmten Produktes nicht benutzt wird, muss dieser abgeschaltet werden und verbleibt unbenutzt an der Maschine. Die Reihenfolge der nacheinander angeordneten Anleger, also ihre Topologie, ist fixiert. Ein Umrüsten der Maschine, indem Anleger an bestimmte Positionen gebracht werden, ist im allgemeinen nicht ohne eine besondere Hebetechnik und nur mit einigem zeitlichen Aufwand zu realisieren.However, the known structure of such systems for the production of brochures, books or magazines or inserting machines, ie printing product processing machines, but has a significant shortcoming. The position, d. H. the order of the investors, is fixed and can only be changed mechanically by considerable effort. The operator's superstructure must be set to its respective position by means of lifting technology, where it must be mechanically, pneumatically and electrically connected to the feeder base. If a feeder is not used to make a particular product, it must be shut down and left unused on the machine. The order of successively arranged investors, so their topology is fixed. Converting the machine by bringing investors to certain positions is generally not possible without a special lifting technique and only with some time.
Aus WO-A-98/37003 ist eine Verarbeitungsstraße für Druckereiprodukte mit insofern veränderbarer Topologie bekannt als sie aus einer Anzahl von in Verarbeitungsrichtung unmittelbar aufeinanderfolgender, voneinander trennbarer Baumodule besteht. Den Baumodulen sind Anleger auf nicht näher erläuterte Weise zugeordnet.WO-A-98/37003 discloses a processing line for printed products of variable topology in that it consists of a number of directly successive, separable building modules in the processing direction. The building modules are associated with investors in a manner not further explained.
Aus US 5,203,549 A ist eine Zusammentragvorrichtung mit einem Förderer und diesem zugeordneten Anlegern bekannt, welche den Förderer mit Signaturen beschicken. Den zeichnerischen Darstellungen des offenbarten Gegenstandes ist entnehmbar, dass Vorrichtungen zur wahlweisen Verlagerung oder Fixierung der Anleger vorgesehen sind. Maßnahmen zur lagegerechten Zuordnung der Anleger zum Förderer sind jedoch nicht ersichtlich.From US 5,203,549 A a collator with a conveyor and this associated investors is known, which feed the conveyor with signatures. The drawings of the disclosed subject matter can be inferred that devices are provided for selectively shifting or fixing the investors. Measures for the correct allocation of investors to the promoter are not apparent.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die eingangs genannte Vorrichtung so weiterzubilden, dass bei einer Veränderung im Hinblick auf die Anzahl oder Art der Anleger die korrekte Stellung der letzteren bezüglich der Transportvorrichtung problemlos erreichbar ist.The invention has the object of developing the aforementioned device so that in a change in terms of the number or type of investor, the correct position of the latter with respect to the transport device is easily accessible.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Anleger mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a feeder with the features of claim 1.
Der Erfindung gemäß wird der Anleger somit mit einer Vorrichtung, welche seine Mobilität ermöglicht, versehen. Der statische Verbund der Anleger zur Transporteinrichtung der Maschine wird aufgehoben. Dazu sind die Anleger modular und mobil aufgebaut. Sie haben gleiche Anschlussmaße und Bauraumabmessungen. Mit anderen Worten, alle Anleger sind jeweils auf einem baugleichen Untergestell alsAccording to the invention, the feeder is thus provided with a device which allows its mobility. The static connection of the feeders to the transport device of the machine is canceled. For this purpose, the investors are modular and mobile. They have the same connection dimensions and installation space dimensions. In other words, all investors are each on a similar base as
Trägereinrichtung montiert und getrennt vom Rest der Maschine ausgeführt. Beide Teile zusammen bilden ein Modul, so dass sie von der Transportvorrichtung unabhängig und damit beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines Hubwagens beweglich sind. Vorteilhafterweise sind die Untergestelle durch eine geeignete Vorrichtung mobil ausgeführt. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Anlegermodule mit Rädern oder Rollen ausgestattet. Die Räder oder Rollen können im eingebauten Fall oder wenn gewünscht festgesetzt werden. Durch den modularen Aufbau ist es möglich, die Position der Anleger zur Transportvorrichtung frei zu bestimmen. Aufgrund der Mobilität der Anleger ist es möglich, ihre Position zu verändern. Ebenfalls kann die Topologie der Reihenfolge der Anleger verändert werden.Mounted carrier and carried out separately from the rest of the machine. Both parts together form a module, so that they are independent of the transport device and thus, for example, by means of a lift truck are movable. Advantageously, the bases are designed to be mobile by a suitable device. In a preferred embodiment, the feeder modules are equipped with wheels or rollers. The wheels or castors can be fixed in the installed case or if desired. Due to the modular design, it is possible to freely determine the position of the feeder to the transport device. Due to the mobility of investors, it is possible to change their position. Also, the topology of the order of investors can be changed.
In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung weisen die Untergestelle Anschlagsmittel auf, so dass eine problemlose Positionierung der Anleger zur Transportvorrichtung der Maschine erleichtert wird. Der Antrieb der einzelnen Anleger ist jeweils als Einzelantrieb ausgeführt, so dass nur eine elektronische Verbindung zum Austausch von Daten- und/oder Steuersignalen zwischen den Maschinenbaugruppen der Anleger und der restlichen Baugruppen hergestellt werden muss.In an advantageous development, the bases on stop means, so that easy positioning of the feeder to the transport device of the machine is facilitated. The drive of the individual investors is designed as a single drive, so that only an electronic connection for the exchange of data and / or control signals between the machine components of the investor and the remaining modules must be made.
Die Transportvorrichtung, insbesondere das Sammelkettenuntergestell an einem Sammelhefter, ist durch entsprechende Anschlagsmittel zur Fixierung der Anleger vorbereitet.The transport device, in particular the collecting chain underframe on a saddle stitcher, is prepared by appropriate stop means for fixing the investors.
Die Erfindung ermöglicht die Bereitstellung eines Systems zum Zusammentragen von Druckprodukten mit Anlegern, welche verschiedenen Typs sein können, und einer Transportvorrichtung. Dieses beispielsweise an einem Sammelhefter, einer Zusammentragmaschine oder dergleichen vorgesehene System ist prinzipiell unabhängig, da es vom Rest der Maschine getrennt ausgeführt ist. Das System und der Rest der Maschine bilden gemeinsam den Sammelhefter, die Zusammentragmaschine, die Einsteckmaschine oder dergleichen. Durch die flexible Gestaltung des Anlegerbereichs eines Sammelhefters, einer Zusammentragmaschine oder einer Einsteckmaschine kann je nach Produktionsauftrag eine entsprechende Topologie der Anleger gewählt werden. Somit kann individuell auf Kundenwünsche eingegangen werden.The invention enables the provision of a system for collating printed products with investors, which may be of various types, and a transport device. This system, for example, provided on a saddle stitcher, a gathering machine or the like, is in principle independent, since it is executed separately from the rest of the machine.
