Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines aus mehreren, durch rittlingsweises Sammeln von zugeführten Druckprodukten bestehendes und durch Heften gebundenes Druckerzeugnis, insbesondere Zeitschriften, Broschuren oder Bücher.The invention relates to a method for producing a several, by astride collecting printed products existing printed matter bound by binding, in particular magazines, brochures or books.

Solche Verfahren werden, wie beispielsweise in "Industrielle Buchbinderei", Verlag Beruf+Schule, 1994 beschrieben mit sogenannten Sammelheftern durchgeführt.Such processes are described, for example, in "Industrielle Buchbinderei ", Verlag Beruf + Schule, 1994 described with so-called Saddlestitchers performed.

Die unterschiedlichen Druckprodukte werden über mehrere Anleger, die entlang einer Sammelstrecke angeordnet sind, auf parallelen Zuführabschnitten einer einem Heftapparat vorgeschalteten Sammeleinrichtung zugeführt.
Diese Sammelhefter beziehen die Druckprodukte von Stapeln oder einer anderen Speicheranordnung. The different printed products are fed via a plurality of feeders, which are arranged along a collecting section, on parallel feeding sections to a collecting device upstream of a stapler.
These saddle stitchers obtain the printed products from stacks or other storage devices.

Für eine wirtschaftliche Verarbeitung von Druckprodukten mit Sammelheftern ist eine hohe Auflage an Druckerzeugnissen erforderlich, d.h. die Bedarfsmenge an Druckerzeugnissen bestimmt das anzuwendende Verfahren. So gilt heute noch die Faustregel, dass bis zu 2000 Exemplare des gleichen Druckerzeugnisses ein digitales Druckverfahren gegenüber einem Offsetdruckverfahren wirtschaftlicher ist, weil es erheblich kürzere Rüstzeiten benötigt und bei einer entsprechenden Auflagegrösse eine durchschnittliche Durchlaufzeit von etwa acht Stunden erfordert.For economical processing of printed products with Saddle stitchers require a large print run, i.e. determines the quantity of printed matter required the procedure to be followed. So that still applies today Rule of thumb that up to 2000 copies of the same printed product a digital printing process versus an offset printing process is more economical because it is significantly shorter Set-up times required and with an appropriate print run size an average turnaround time of around eight Hours required.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es somit, bei einem Verfahren der eingangs beschriebenen Art bei geringeren Auflagemengen eine optimale Wirtschaftlichkeit gegenüber anderen bewährten Herstellverfahren erzielen zu können.The object of the present invention is therefore in a Process of the type described in the introduction with smaller quantities optimal economy compared to others to achieve proven manufacturing processes.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Druckprodukte in der zur Bildung eines Druckerzeugnisses vorbestimmten Reihenfolge über einen gemeinsamen Förderpfad gesammelt und danach geheftet werden.
D.h., die Verarbeitung der Druckprodukte erfolgt bis zum Sammeln kontinuierlich und erfolgt anschliessend schrittweise während der Zeit, in der die Druckprodukte gesammelt werden.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the printed products are collected in the order predetermined for forming a printed product via a common conveying path and then stapled.
This means that the processing of the printed products takes place continuously until they are collected and then takes place gradually during the time in which the printed products are collected.

Zur Erzielung einer weitestgehend kontinuierlichen Zuführung der zur Bildung eines Druckerzeugnisses vorbestimmten Reihenfolge der Druckprodukte werden diese vorteilhaft in einer Digitaldruckeinrichtung gedruckt und danach - während dem Sammeln von Druckprodukten für ein weiteres Druckerzeugnis - geheftet. To achieve a largely continuous feed the order predetermined to form a printed product of the printed products are advantageously in a digital printing device printed and afterwards - while collecting of printed products for another printed product - stapled.

Vorzugsweise erfolgt das Sammeln und Heften an voneinander entfernten Stellen auf dem Förderpfad.The gathering and stapling are preferably carried out on one another distant places on the conveyor path.

Zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ist erfindungsgemäss eine Einrichtung vorgesehen, die aus einer eine die Druckprodukte auf dem Förderpfad gespreizt auf eine förderwirksam ausgebildete Sammelauflage übertragende Oeffnungsvorrichtung aufweisende Zuführvorrichtung besteht und sich durch die unterhalb der Oeffnungsvorrichtung um eine quer zur Zuführrichtung der Druckprodukte angeordnete Drehachse umlaufende Sammelauflage auf einem zwischen einer Sammelstelle der zugeführten Druckprodukte und einer Heftstelle gebildeten Abschnitt des Förderpfades schrittweise angetrieben ist, auszeichnet. Dadurch kann eine kompakte und einfache Bauweise der Einrichtung erzielt werden. Darüberhinaus lassen sich mit der erfindungsgemässen Einrichtung auch im Off-Line-Verfahren hergestellte Druckprodukte zu gehefteten Druckerzeugnissen verarbeiten.According to the invention, there is a device for carrying out the method provided that the printed products from a the funding path spread to a trained effective Opening device which transmits the collecting pad Feed device exists and by the below the Opening device around a transverse to the feed direction of the Rotary axis of the printed product arranged around the collecting support on a between a collection point of the printed products supplied and a section formed on the conveying path is driven step by step. This can achieved a compact and simple design of the facility become. In addition, with the inventive Establishment of print products also manufactured in the off-line process to make stapled printed matter.

Vorzugsweise sind mehrere um die Drehachse angeordnete Sammelauflagen vorgesehen, sodass diese kürzere Wege zurücklegen und mit einer zumutbaren Geschwindigkeit anzutreiben sind.There are preferably a plurality of collecting supports arranged around the axis of rotation provided that they cover shorter distances and are to be driven at a reasonable speed.

Alternativ kann der Abschnitt des Förderpfades zwischen Sammelstelle und Heftstelle durch wenigstens ein an einer Umlenktrommel umlaufendes Zugmittel eines Zugmittelgetriebes gebildet sein, an welchem in regelmässigen Abständen Sammelauflagen befestigt sind.Alternatively, the section of the funding path between the collection point and stitching by at least one on a deflection drum revolving traction means of a traction mechanism gear be on which collective editions at regular intervals are attached.

Als zweckmässig erweist es sich, wenn die Heftstelle und eine Sammelauflage eine Heftvorrichtung bilden, die die einfache und kompakte Bauweise der Einrichtung begünstigt. It proves useful if the stitching point and a Collection pad form a stapling device that the simple and compact design of the facility favors.

Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Heftstelle eine einen für eine Heftklammer bestimmten Drahtabschnitt verformende Biegevorrichtung und eine den verformten Drahtabschnitt vortreibende Treibvorrichtung einer mit einer an der Sammelauflage vorgesehenen Umbiegevorrichtung gebildeten Heftvorrichtung aufweist.It is advantageous if the stitching is a one for a bending device which deforms a staple to define a wire section and one driving the deformed wire section Driving device with one provided on the collecting pad Bending device formed stapling device.

Anstelle eines ungenauen Abwurfs der Druckerzeugnisse ist das stromabwärtige Ende des Förderpfades als eine der Heftstelle nachfolgende Auslage ausgebildet.Instead of an inaccurate release of the printed matter, this is downstream end of the conveyor path as one of the tacking point subsequent display formed.

Vorteilhaft mündet die Auslage in eine Förderanordnung, die den Weitertransport der Druckerzeugnisse gewährleistet.The display advantageously opens into a conveyor arrangement that guarantees the further transport of the printed products.

Die Auslage kann zweckmässig eine das Druckerzeugnis von der Sammelauflage entfernende Abhebevorrichtung sein, wozu sich beispielsweise ein auf die Falzinnenkante eines Druckerzeugnisses gesteuert einwirkendes Schwert besonders eignet.The display can conveniently be the one of the printed product Lifting device removing the collecting pad, for what purpose for example one on the inside edge of a printed product controlled sword is particularly suitable.

Um das Druckerzeugnis On-Line mit einem Umschlag versehen zu können, ist es zweckmässig, wenn der Sammelstelle ein Umschlagfalzanleger zugeordnet wird, mit dem der zu falzende Umschlag von der Seite auf die lose auf der Sammelauflage liegenden Druckprodukte aufgesetzt wird. Falz- oder Umschlagfalzanleger sind u.a. im eingangs zitierten Fachbuch "Industrielle Buchbinderei" beschrieben.To provide the cover with an envelope online , it is useful if the collection point has an envelope folder with which the envelope to be folded is assigned from the side onto the loose ones on the collecting pad Print products is put on. Fold or envelope fold feeder include in the technical book "Industrielle Bookbinding "described.

Bei der Verwendung wenigstens eines Zugmittels zur Bildung des Förderpfades, kann ein Umschlagfalzanleger zwischen der Zuführvorrichtung für die Druckprodukte und der Heftstrecke angeordnet sein.When using at least one traction device to form the Conveyor path, can be an envelope feeder between the feeder arranged for the printed products and the stitching section his.

Das Förderende der Zuführvorrichtung kann vorzugsweise durch eine Oeffnungsvorrichtung eines Druckbogenanlegers oder eines Takttransporteurs ausgebildet sein; beide Beschickungsarten sind bekannt, letztere u.a. durch die EP 0 095 603 A1.The feed end of the feed device can preferably be through an opening device of a sheet feeder or one Clock transporter to be trained; both types of loading are known, the latter among others by EP 0 095 603 A1.

Damit das herzustellende Druckerzeugnis die bestimmte Anzahl Druckprodukte aufweist, ist die Einrichtung mit einer rechnergesteuerten Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens verbunden.So that the printed product to be produced the certain number Having printed products, the facility is computer controlled Device for performing the inventive Associated procedure.

Anschliessend ist die Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung, auf die bezüglich aller in der Beschreibung nicht erwähnten Einzelheiten verwiesen wird, anhand zweier Ausführungsbeispiele beschrieben. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch eine Einrichtung 1 zur Herstellung eines aus mehreren, in einer bestimmten Reihenfolge zugeführten Druckprodukten 2 bestehenden, drahtgehefteten Druckerzeugnisses 3, wie beispielsweise Zeitschriften, Broschuren oder Bücher. Die zu verarbeitenden Druckprodukte 2 werden vorzugsweise von einer Digitaldruckmaschine (nicht dargestellt) in Richtung F geschuppt oder einzeln einem Magazin 4 zugeführt. Die verwendeten Zuführmittel hierzu sind bekannt und werden deshalb nicht mehr beschrieben. Das Magazin 4 ist Teil eines Druckbogenanlegers 5, der aus einer die Druckprodukte 2 aus dem Magazin 4 abziehenden Fördertrommel 6 und einer aus zwei Oeffnungstrommeln 7, 8 bestehenden Oeffnungsvorrichtung 9 gebildet ist. Druckbogenanleger 5 dieser Art sind aus dem Bereich Sammelheften bekannt und bilden vorliegend die Zuführvorrichtung 10 der Einrichtung 1. Als Alternative könnte auch eine Ausführung, wie in EP 0 095 603 A1 beschrieben und gezeigt, als Zuführvorrichtung 10 verwendet werden. Fig. 1 zeigt, wie ein durch die Oeffnungsvorrichtung 9 gespreiztes Druckprodukt 2 den Druckbogenanleger 5 resp. die Zuführvorrichtung 10 verlässt und ein nachfolgendes Druckprodukt 2 von der Fördertrommel 6 in den Erfassungsbereich der Oeffnungsvorrichtung 9 transportiert wird. Der Zuführabschnitt auf dem Förderpfad der Druckprodukte 2 endet vorerst an einer Sammelstelle 11, die durch eine Sammelauflage 12 definiert ist. Die Sammelauflage 12 besteht als radial abstehender Steg eines umlaufenden Rotors 13, der am Umfang verteilt mehrere Sammelauflagen 12 aufweist. Die Sammelauflagen 12 weisen am freien Ende einen sattelförmigen Bereich auf, auf den die Druckprodukte 2 rittlings abgesetzt werden. Die Drehrichtung des Rotors 13 ist durch Pfeil F angedeutet. Die Drehbewegung des Rotors 13 erfolgt schrittweise im Abstand der Sammelauflagen 12. Nach dem Sammeln der für ein Druckerzeugnis 3 erforderlichen Anzahl Druckprodukte 2 auf einer Sammelauflage 12 bewegt sich diese auf dem Förderpfad einen Schritt weiter und erreicht eine Heftstelle 14. Diese zeichnet sich durch eine stationär angeordnete Biegevorrichtung zur Verformung eines Drahtabschnittes in ein U-Profil und durch eine mit letzterer zusammenwirkenden Treibvorrichtung zum Durchtreiben des verformten Drahtabschnittes durch den Falz des aus wenigstens einem mehrblättrigen Druckprodukt 2 gebildeten Druckerzeugnisses 3 aus. Beide Vorrichtungen sind der Zeichnung nicht entnehmbar, sie sind jedoch bei Sammelheftern bekannt. Gemeinsam mit der Sammelauflage 12, die an dem freien Ende als Umbiegevorrichtung ausgebildet ist, entsteht eine Heftvorrichtung 15, die bezüglich Heftabstand verstellbar ist. Das Prinzip des Heftvorgangs, der in der Zeit stattfindet, während der an der nächstfolgenden Sammelauflage 12 Druckprodukte 2 für ein nächstes Druckerzeugnis 3 gesammelt werden, ist ansich bekannt und u.a. in "Industrielle Buchbinderei" beschrieben. Aufgrund der Darstellung in Fig. 1 dreht sich der Rotor 13 um 45° in Gegenuhrzeigerrichtung, damit die gesammelten Druckprodukte 2 die Heftstelle 14 am Förderpfad erreichen. Es findet zwischen Sammelstelle 11 und Heftstelle 14 eine schrittweisweise Drehbewegung der Sammelauflagen 12 statt, die aufgrund der für das Sammeln der Druckprodukte 2 zu einem vollständigen Druckerzeugnis 3 erforderlichen Zeit entsteht. Nach der Heftung erfolgt nach einem weiteren Verfahrensschritt die Entnahme der Druckerzeugnisse 3 von der Sammelauflage 12. Hierzu kann beispielsweise ein an dem freien Ende gesteuert ausstossbares Schwert oder dgl. dienen, welches auf die innere Falzkante des Druckerzeugnisses 3 einwirkt und dieses an ein Transportmittel 16 übergibt. Als Transportmittel 16 sind zwei einen Förderkanal bildende umlaufende Förderbandpaare vorgesehen, die die Druckerzeugnisse 3 an eine anschliessende, gleichartige Fördervorrichtung 17 weitergeben. Ergänzend wird festgehalten, dass die Einrichtung 1 ein Gestell 18 aufweist, an dem die beschriebenen Einrichtungskomponenten befestigt sind. Auf dem Gestell 18 ist übrigens eine von zwei Spulen 19 mit dem für die Drahtabschnitte benötigten, aufgewickelten Draht ersichtlich.
In Fig. 2 sind mit Ausnahme der Zuführvorrichtung 10 die bezüglich Fig. 1 beschriebenen Einzelheiten räumlich erkennbar.1 schematically shows a device 1 for producing a wire-stitched printed product 3, such as magazines, brochures or books, consisting of a plurality of printed products 2 fed in a specific order. The print products 2 to be processed are preferably shingled in the direction F by a digital printing machine (not shown) or fed individually to a magazine 4. The feed means used for this purpose are known and are therefore no longer described. The magazine 4 is part of a printing sheet feeder 5, which is formed from a conveyor drum 6 that pulls the printed products 2 out of the magazine 4 and an opening device 9 consisting of two opening drums 7, 8. Printing sheet feeders 5 of this type are known from the field of saddle stitching and in the present case form the feed device 10 of the device 1. As an alternative, an embodiment as described and shown in EP 0 095 603 A1 could also be used as the feed device 10. Fig. 1 shows how a spread through the opening device 9 printed product 2, the sheet feeder 5, respectively. leaves the feed device 10 and a subsequent printed product 2 is transported from the conveyor drum 6 into the detection area of the opening device 9. The feed section on the conveyor path of the printed products 2 initially ends at a collection point 11, which is defined by a collection pad 12. The collecting pad 12 consists of a radially projecting web of a rotating rotor 13, which has a plurality of collecting pads 12 distributed around the circumference. The collecting pads 12 have a saddle-shaped area at the free end, onto which the printed products 2 are straddled. The direction of rotation of the rotor 13 is indicated by arrow F. The rotary movement of the rotor 13 takes place step by step at a distance from the collecting supports 12. After collecting the number of printed products 2 required for a printed product 3 on a collecting support 12, the latter moves one step further on the conveying path and reaches a stitching point 14. This is characterized by a stationary position arranged bending device for deforming a wire section into a U-profile and by a driving device cooperating with the latter for driving the deformed wire section through the fold of the printed product 3 formed from at least one multi-sheet printed product 2. Neither device can be seen from the drawing, but they are known from saddle stitchers. Together with the collecting pad 12, which is designed as a bending device at the free end, a stapling device 15 is created which is adjustable with respect to the stitching distance. The principle of the stapling process, which takes place during the time during which 12 printed products 2 for a next printed product 3 are collected on the next collection pad 12, is known per se and is described, inter alia, in "Industrial Bookbinding". 1, the rotor 13 rotates 45 ° in the counterclockwise direction so that the collected printed products 2 reach the stitching point 14 on the conveying path. A gradual rotary movement of the collecting supports 12 takes place between the collecting point 11 and the stitching point 14, which occurs due to the time required for collecting the printed products 2 to produce a complete printed product 3. After stapling, the printed products 3 are removed from the collecting support 12 after a further process step. For example, a sword or the like which can be ejected at the free end and which acts on the inner folded edge of the printed product 3 and transfers it to a transport means 16 can be used for this purpose , Two circulating conveyor belt pairs forming a conveyor channel are provided as transport means 16, which pass the printed products 3 on to a subsequent, similar conveyor device 17. In addition, it is noted that the device 1 has a frame 18 to which the device components described are attached. Incidentally, one of two coils 19 with the wound wire required for the wire sections can be seen on the frame 18.
2, with the exception of the feed device 10, the details described with reference to FIG. 1 are spatially recognizable.

Fig. 3 veranschaulicht den in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Druckbogenanleger 5 als Zuführvorrichtung 10 und den nachgeschalteten Rotor 13 mit den umlaufenden Sammelauflagen 12. Seitlich versetzt, im Vordergrund, ist ein Umschlagfalzanleger 20 mit dem Gestell 15 verbunden, der einen gefalzten Umschlag 21 auf die gesammelten Druckprodukte 2 absetzt, bevor sich der Rotor 13 einen Verfahrensschritt zum Heften weiter bewegt.Fig. 3 illustrates that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 Sheet feeder 5 as a feed device 10 and the downstream Rotor 13 with the rotating collecting pads 12. Laterally offset, in the foreground, is an envelope fold feeder 20 connected to the frame 15, which is a folded envelope 21 settles on the collected printed products 2 before the Rotor 13 moves a process step for stapling.

In Fig. 4 ist eine alternative Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemässen Einrichtung 1 gezeichnet. Diese weist im Unterschied zu den Fig. 1 bis 3, anstelle des Rotors 13, ein aus zwei parallel umlaufenden Zugmitteln 22, 23 gebildetes, schrittweise angetriebenes Zugmittelgetriebe auf, wobei die Zugmittel durch stegartige, quer zur Förderrichtung Q verlaufende Sammelauflagen 12 miteinander verbunden sind. Entlang der oberen, durch die Zugmittel 22, 23 gebildeten Trums ist am stromaufwärtigen Ende eine aus einem Druckbogenanleger 5 gebildete Zuführvorrichtung 10 für Druckprodukte 2 angeordnet. Im Sinne einer raumsparenden Anordnungsweise ist die Zuführvorrichtung 10 über einer das Ende des Zugmittelgetriebes bildenden Umlenktrommel 24 an einem Gestell 25 befestigt, auf dem die Zuführvorrichtung 10 aufgesetzt ist.
Der Zuführvorrichtung 10 nachgeschaltet befindet sich entlang der oberen Trums vor der Heftstelle 14 ein Umschlaganleger 26, mit dem die gefalzten Umschläge 21, wie in der Zuführvorrichtung 10, jeweils auf die gesammelten Druckprodukte 2 gespreizt abgelegt werden.
Selbstverständlich könnte bei einer Ausführung wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, durch Verzicht eines Umschlaganlegers 26 zwischen Zuführvorrichtung 10 und Heftstelle 14 anstelle eines Umschlagfalzanlegers 20 -wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt- die Länge des Zugmittelgetriebes erheblich verkürzt werden.
Bei einer derart abgeänderten Ausführung oder der in Fig. 4 gezeigten Einrichtung 1 ist die Heftvorrichtung 15 wiederum durch eine ortsfest angeordnete Bieger- und Treibervorrichtung (nicht erkennbar) und eine in die Sammelauflage 12 integrierte Umbiegevorrichtung gebildet, und anstelle eines Rotors 13 ist eine angetriebene Umlenktrommel 27 vorgesehen.
Die weiteren Vorteile der Ausführung nach den Fig. 1 bis 3 sind auch in der alternativen Einrichtung 1 gemäss Fig. 4 und 5 enthalten. Weitere Erklärungen zu den Fig. 4 und 5 dürften sich deshalb erübrigen.
Konsequenterweise ist in Fig. 4 eine Steuervorrichtung 28 dargestellt, die einen Rechnerteil R und einen Steuerteil S aufweist, der mit den einzelnen Aggregaten der Einrichtung 1 steuerwirksam verbunden ist.4 shows an alternative embodiment of the device 1 according to the invention. In contrast to FIGS. 1 to 3, instead of the rotor 13, it has a step-by-step traction mechanism transmission formed from two parallel rotating traction means 22, 23, the traction means being connected to one another by web-like collecting supports 12 which run transversely to the conveying direction Q. Along the upper run formed by the traction means 22, 23, a feed device 10 for printed products 2 formed from a printed sheet feeder 5 is arranged at the upstream end. In the sense of a space-saving arrangement, the feed device 10 is fastened to a frame 25, on which the feed device 10 is placed, via a deflection drum 24 forming the end of the traction mechanism gear.
Downstream of the feeding device 10, there is an envelope feeder 26 along the upper runs in front of the stitching point 14, with which the folded envelopes 21, as in the feeding device 10, are each spread apart onto the collected printed products 2.
Of course, in an embodiment as shown in FIG. 4, the length of the traction mechanism transmission could be considerably shortened, as shown in FIG. 3, by dispensing with an envelope feeder 26 between the feed device 10 and the stitching point 14 instead of an envelope fold feeder 20.
In such a modified embodiment or the device 1 shown in FIG. 4, the stapling device 15 is in turn formed by a stationary bending and driving device (not visible) and a bending device integrated in the collecting support 12, and instead of a rotor 13 there is a driven deflection drum 27 provided.
The further advantages of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3 are also contained in the alternative device 1 according to FIGS. 4 and 5. Further explanations for FIGS. 4 and 5 are therefore unnecessary.
4 shows a control device 28, which has a computer part R and a control part S, which is connected to the individual units of the device 1 for control purposes.
