Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for aligning arcuate Material on a reference edge before the sheet material in a sheet material processing machine is processed.
  • a sheet alignment device is known from DE 44 16 564 A1. This device for aligning an essentially flat transport path moving sheet allows alignment of a moving sheet Leaf in a variety of orthogonal directions, for example transverse to Transport track in the direction of the transport track and for the removal of imbalances.
  • the sheet alignment device has a first roller arrangement with a first pinch roller, which is mounted so that it rotates about an axis can, which in a plane extending parallel to the plane of the transport path lies and essentially perpendicular to the direction of sheet transport the transport path runs.
  • a second roller arrangement has a second Pinch roller, which is mounted so that it can rotate about an axis that lies in a plane extending parallel to the plane of the transport path and essentially at right angles to the direction of sheet transport along the Transport track runs.

  • a third role arrangement one by one Axis is rotatable, which is parallel to the plane of the transport path extending plane and is substantially perpendicular to the direction of the Sheet transport runs along the transport path is along its axis of rotation in movable in a direction transverse to the transport path.
  • Control device provided with the first or second or third Roller arrangement is operatively connected and optionally the rotation of the first and second roller assembly controls to move the leading edge one towards of the sheet transport along the sheet moving sheet into a aligned at right angles to the direction of sheet transport.
  • the controller also controls the rotation and transverse movement of the third Roller assembly to move the sheet in the cross-direction of the sheet transport direction as well as in the direction in which the sheet moves along the transport path.
  • the alignment device known from DE 44 16 564 A1 is capable of the required Alignment accuracy, however, only to a limited extent. To the to achieve the required alignment accuracy for sheet-like material an extensive modification of the sheet alignment device of the prior art Technology required that does not seem economical.
  • the sheets are arranged on the feed table in a shingled arrangement promoted before on side and drawing marks provided in the feed table level can be aligned.
  • This material is aligned with a Vogreifer passed the sheet material at machine speed accelerated and to a sheet leading downstream of the pre-gripper device Cylinder passes.
  • Other alignment concepts usually use cylindrical ones Rollers with a rubber coating added to their roll core can be. With such a configuration, an alignment becomes arcuate Material during its feed by changing the Speed between a left hand gripping the sheet material or right roll performed, the sheet material experiences one Rotation around a pivot point. This can either be on the stationary Roll or while the sheet material is being fed outside the roller with the lower speed or between the two rollers are located.
  • the invention lies in view of the solution known from the prior art based on the task of aligning sheet material during its feed in the conveying direction regardless of the machining tolerances of the to hold each arch-shaped material to be imaged.
  • Procedure can be used to determine the position of the arcuate Use materials in the conveyor level in an advantageous manner line sensors.

This ensures that the feed speed of the arcuate Material to the downstream processing machine not through the alignment and their speed is limited.
  • the alignment accuracy becomes independent with the method according to the invention machining tolerances such as cutting tolerances of the arcuate Material, be it paper, cardboard or film, because the sheet Material in its position always in the same place, formed from one Reference point on an edge and its defined position to a reference edge of the sheet material is detected.
  • a first reference distance is given by the Distance of the printed image from the reference edge of the sheet material educated.
  • the reference edge of the sheet material is preferably the Front edge selected.
  • the second reference distance which is the position of the Determined print image relative to the sheet material, is the distance of the Print image from the reference point, for example a reference point at the Side edge of the sheet material at a short distance in Direction of conveyance of the sheet material lying from the front edge.
  • the one proposed according to the invention can Procedure for improving the alignment accuracy of alignment units be realized, the printing unit of a digitally operating rotary machine can be upstream.
  • the processing printing material be it Aligned transparencies, card stock, or paper before printing or if necessary in a digital machine is being processed.

This consists of a arranged below the sheet conveying plane 9 radiation source 18, the one Lens arrangement 19 is connected upstream. The outgoing from the lens assembly 19 Radiation field 20 penetrates the conveying plane 9 and strikes one Diaphragm arrangement, which is above the conveying plane 9 of the sheet material 1 is provided. The aperture arrangement is followed by a receiver 21, which indicates the presence of the leading edge 23 of the sheet material 1 sensed.
  • the alignment unit 8 is reached by the sheet material 1, which is conveyed in conveying direction 22.
  • the leading edge 23 of the arcuate Material 1 is offset with respect to the conveying direction 22, whereby an oblique course of the side edge 24 of the sheet material 1 is set.
  • the drives 27, denoted by M 1 or M 2 the 32 rotary elements 25 via individual axes, drive accelerated to feed speed.
  • the two rotation elements 25 After passing the first light barrier 26, the two rotation elements 25 are set in rotation, the arcuate material 1 with Feed speed over a downstream of the first light barrier 26 transported further sensor unit 30.1. As soon as the first of the two sensors of the Sensor pair 30.1 the sheet leading edge 23 of the sheet material 1 has detected, a counter unit begins to count in motor steps. The counting process is then ended and the difference determined is recorded when the second Sensor of sensor pair 30.1 switches. From the determined in this way A counter value is formed, which is added to the last started segment roller drive 27 is passed on, i.e. either the drive 27, which is denoted by M 1, or to the drive 27, which is denoted by M 2 is designated.

This is in a post-processing of the arcuate Material 1 no longer has register accuracy due to the cutting tolerances of the sheet material 1 limited, so that inaccuracies in Booklet printing on two-page images of two different arches can no longer occur.
