This is usually done immediately after the Aufspendung in a subsequent operation, whereby the adjustment (Register control) between these two operations, especially at fast Make productions difficult. So usually the area of the donated is Materials generously designed to overlap the card to ensure that too relative shifts of the work always the card as a whole of the Overlapping is covered.

  • the punching plate has bores 100, which are provided to the punched 12th hold on the dispensing cylinder 13.
  • the punching plate 25 rests on a suction cylinder 13, which has suction holes 102.
  • the plate 25 can either further, in the Figure simplified for simplicity not shown suction holes held on the cylinder 13 be, or the suction cylinder 13 may be formed simultaneously as a magnetic cylinder.
  • Magnetic cylinders usually have a structure that also has a subsequent attachment of Suction holes 102 allows:
  • the magnetic material elements are namely mostly segmentwise and in rows parallel to the axis of the cylinder in the cylinder jacket of a Fully cylinder let in.
  • the punching plate 25 has, as described above, a base plate 25a, on which a cutting line 25b is arranged.
  • a front cutting edge 25b1 which on the donor material 23rd the punching process acts first
  • a rear, cutting edge 25b2 which only on End when the diecut is almost completely cut out
  • lateral Cutting edges 25b3 and 25b4 It proves to be particularly advantageous, the holes 100th in a row as close as possible immediately behind the front cutting edge 25b1 to arrange, because then the punching 12 immediately at the beginning of the punching process from the vacuum is detected and very efficiently replaced by any existing cover material can. It is unnecessary then the costly pre-separation of donor material and Cover material before punching between donation cylinder 13 and counter cylinder 28th
  • the punching plate 25 should be arranged as possible on the dispensing cylinder be that the suction holes 102 and the holes 100 come to lie one above the other. Optimally, the two holes 100 and 102 also have the same Spacing D a same diameter d, or the holes 100 are smaller than the suction holes 102. It is also conceivable that the suction cylinder is not has individual holes, but arranged parallel to the cylinder axis suction slots.
  • Figure 14 shows an apparatus in which the dispensing material laminate 20 is intermittent transported and in which a further retreat or step back of the Dispensing material laminate controlled between each two feed steps is executable.
  • the withdrawal or regression serves on the one hand, the waste on the donor material web 23 to further minimize the unused areas (lands) between each two diecuts is caused.
  • Another feature is controlling a Brand feeder. This is about a donation provided with brands as possible to be positioned exactly on a print carrier.
  • the donor material laminate 20 is used in the apparatus of FIG. 14 by a roller 66 of FIG a driven guide roller pair 105 detected and transported. Behind it is a supply loop 75 of the material 23, which of a pair of stationary brush rollers 122 is ended.
  • the brush rollers 122 are pressed against each other and cause a slight braking of the donor material laminate.
  • the braking force is dimensioned so that they just one further transport allowed when a punching process is running. This results in a intermittent feed.
  • To the brush rollers 122 closes a pair of Retraction rollers 123a, b, whose training and function will be described specifically.
  • a guide roller 107 which the web 23 in a specific Angle ⁇ between the dispensing cylinder 13 and the counter-cylinder 28 leads, where they punched becomes.
  • the guide roller 107 can be influenced how long, for example. when using a Punching plates according to FIG. 13, the negative pressure through the holes 100 are constructed can. If the angle ⁇ is set small, then the web 20 runs tangentially with it for a little longer the donation cylinder 13 with and there is more time to build vacuum. Behind the cylinder pair 13 and 28, the stamped laminate for separating the réelle parts initially passed over a separating roller 121, as described above in Connection with Fig. 5 has already been described.
  • the remaining Covering material which optionally also carries a stamped grid, via a guide roller 108, is then guided by two pairs of rollers 109 and 110 in turn in a transport loop 75, and then rolled up on the roll 111.
  • the first pair of rollers 109 is like this adjusted so that it only transports the web when the punching process is in progress, but not in the other periods, i. the braking force of the brush rollers 122 is just so large that the lead frame between the rollers 109 passes through or the rollers 109 do not rotate at all, as long as the transport of the web is not also from the Punching process is additionally supported.
  • the two transport loops 75 are there necessary for the unwinding of the roller 66 and the reel on the roller 111 the Intermittent feeding process can not interfere.
  • Sensors 120 may be provided which detect the length of the transport loops and with whose signal is e.g. the input roller pairs 105 and the Congressrollencrue 110 controlled can be.
  • the two pairs of rolls 109 and 110 and between them forming transport loop 75 could also be a highly sensitive, so-called Dancer system are used, as it is above the corresponding transport loop 75th or approximately also shown in FIG. 3 and designated there as a transport memory 36 or 37.
  • the aforementioned retraction rollers 123a and 123b, Fig. 15 in an enlarged view. she rotate the feed direction of the dispensing material laminate 20 respectively and point each on a circle segment of about 45 ° (corresponding to an arc length of, for example, about 50 mm) has a radial increase 124 a and 124 b, with which they with the Donation material laminate 20 come into contact. Only if and as long as both radial Elevations 124a and 124b are in contact with the donor material web 23 at the same time, this is clamped (clamping phase, angle ⁇ ) and opposite to their feed direction a moved back a certain distance.
  • the relative rotational position of the two Retraction rollers 123a and 123b can be used to advantage the length of this step back change.
  • the lower retraction roller 123b is synchronous in uniform rotation are added to the donation cylinder 13, while the upper retraction roller 123 a with a servo motor between two clamping phases in contrast somewhat accelerated or slowed down.
  • the measurement signal of an optical sensor 125 are used, which is arranged behind the cylinder pair 13, 28 and which resulting web widths detected.
