Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for detecting the presence and position of reams of paper, in particular sheets of paper
- the present invention further relates to a method for such detection.
- Pallets In a printing process for sheets of paper, for example for securities, sheet stacks are often transported from one machine to another on pallets in order to go through the various steps of the process. In this way, a stack of sheets is fed to a given machine on a pallet and transferred
- Sheets of sheets in the inlet of the machine feed the sheets one by one into the machine so that the machine can carry out its process step, for example a print
- Numbering or the like can perform, and restores the stack of sheets on a pallet at the exit of the machine.
- the sheets stacked on a pallet must be safely transferred from the pallet to the machine feed table.
- This transfer can take place in various ways: for example, the pallet can be arranged on a feed table on which the pallet is in a known reference position of a transfer system; the transmission system, which in particular comprises a suitable gripper system for gripping the stack of sheets, can be supplied; a web can be lowered to connect the pallet to the machine feed table and the stack can be conveyed from the pallet to the feed table.
- Sheet stack on the pallet If there is no sheet on the pallet, the transfer process of the sheets described above must be avoided and the pallet replaced instead, and if the sheet stack is poorly positioned on the pallet, for example if it is too close to the edge of the pallet at which If the web is supported or is oriented obliquely, it can hinder the movement of the web, which will then lead to the machine being blocked and requiring the intervention of an operator. Such losses of time are not acceptable in an industrial production process and must be reduced to a minimum. Nevertheless, accurate and reliable detection of the presence and / or position of a stack of sheets on a pallet poses numerous problems.
- a first problem is that it happens that the sheet stacks are delivered on pallets made of different materials. It is thus possible for stacked sheets to be received on metal pallets, for example steel, whose surface is reflective, or on plastic pallets, the surface of which is matt.
- the detection system must therefore be able to detect the presence of sheets or stacks of sheets regardless of the type of pallet used, each type of pallet therefore having a different reflection coefficient.
- a second problem is that sheets printed in different colors can affect the performance of the detection sensor system used: since the different colors are different
- holograms are often used as a security element in the field of securities.
- a hologram also appears to affect the performance of the acquisition system. Due to the special reflection behavior of a hologram, it happens that the sensor used does not detect the presence of arcs, especially if the detection takes place at the point at which the hologram is located. It is difficult, even impossible, to feel the feeler yourself set satisfactorily so that there is a clear detection.
- the aim of the invention is to develop a device and a method that are reliable and not due to external parameters such as the material of the pallets, the color of the print or the presence of security elements such as holograms or the like. on prints, can be influenced.
- the surface of the pallet emits an inclined light beam and is displaced over a certain distance, the problems caused by the material of the pallets and the colors used in printing can be avoided.
- the invention has numerous advantages and in particular it can be stated that the device can be manufactured easily and that its use is reliable.
- Figure 1 shows a front view of a device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a side view of the device according to FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 shows a top view of the device according to FIG. 1.
- FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of the method according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 a sheet stack 1 is shown on a pallet 2, the pallet 2 being arranged on an alignment table 3.
- a frame 4 is provided above the stack 1, which frame can drop over the stack and move up again.
- This frame 4 supports in particular a gripper system 5, which can move the pallets, and a detection system.
- the detection system comprises two optical sensors 7 and 8 which are attached to the supports 9 and 10.
- the supports 9 and 10 are in turn fastened to the frame 4 by means of compressed air cylinders 11 and 12 (see FIG. 3), which allow the optical sensors 7 and 8 to move between an initial position and an end position. This end position is shown schematically in Figure 3 by the optical sensors 7 'and 8 1 .
- the distance between the starting position and the end position can be set using movable stops.
- the system can thus be adapted to different hologram sizes.
- the optical sensors 7 and 8 each emit a light beam 13 and 14, the reflection of which is used on the pallet 2 for the detection.
- the sensors 7 and 8 each emit a light beam 13, 14 which is not perpendicular to the surface of the sheets of the stack 1, that is to say the pallet 2, but is preferably angled by 40 ° with respect to the surface of the stack, so as not to be affected by the different reflection coefficients of the pallets, or the color of the prints on the paper.
- FIG. 2 shows in particular the sensor 7 with its beam 13 in the starting position and the sensor 8 'with its beam 14' in the end position.
- FIG. 2 also shows a web 15 which pivots about the axis 16 in order to allow its positioning on the pallet 2 and the transfer of the sheet stack 1 to the feed table 17 of the machine.
- the sheet stack 1 on the pallet 2 is offset to the right, that is to say in the direction of the web 15, and this cannot be lowered properly.
- the detection takes place in the following way:
- the sensors 7 and 8 are aligned in their starting position on the edge of the pallet 2.
- the sensors are switched on so that they emit their respective beams 13 and 14, then they are switched off by means of the
- Cylinders 11 and 12 laterally displaced so that they arrive in an aligned manner in the end position, which is symbolically represented in Figure 2 by the sensor 8 '. Upon detection of the presence of the stack 1 during the displacement of the sensors between two reference positions, it can easily be determined whether the sheet stack 1 is in an acceptable position or whether it is too close to the edge of the pallet 2.
- Pallet is shifted, it is also possible with the present invention to determine whether one or more Can survive sheets of the stack 1 and possibly hinder the positioning of the web 15.
- control signals are of course not exhaustive and depends on the device under consideration. For example, one could also use the gripper system 5 to correct the position of the stack 1 if it is too close to the edge of the pallet 2. For this purpose, the signals generated by the optical sensors could be used to calculate the shift necessary for the correction, and the sensors can then confirm the correction carried out.
- Different types of devices can be associated with end stops to detect the arrival of the sensors, such as proximity sensors or the like.
- the method according to the invention is shown in the block diagram according to FIG. 4 and comprises the following steps: Switching on the sensors,
- the inclination of the light beams with respect to the surface of the arcs is preferably 40 °. Of course, slight deviations from this value are possible.
- the example described includes two sensors, so that the detection of a stack of sheets is also permitted, which is aligned obliquely on the pallet.
- the length of the path over which the sensors are moved depends on the imprints on the sheets.
- the imprints contain a hologram and the light beam strikes the hologram, it is necessary to traverse a path whose dimension in the direction of displacement is greater than that of the hologram in order to pass it and the detection via one Perform part of the sheet that does not contain a hologram.
- This path could therefore be shorter if the sheets did not contain a hologram, and thus time could be saved in this step.
- other modifications are also possible in the claimed scope.
