Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Räderfalzapparat gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a wheel folding apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Apparate werden in der Druckindustrie insbesondere im Zeitungsdruck, im Anschluss an eine Rollendruckmaschine eingesetzt, um eine kontinuierliche bedruckte Bahn in einzelne Produkte quer zu schneiden und die so erhaltenen Produkte quer zu falzen. Dabei werden die zu falzenden Einzelprodukte von einem Falzzylinder so an ein Paar von Falzwalzen abgegeben, dass ein Abschnitt des Produkts, in dem der Falz gebildet werden soll, in einen Spalt zwischen den gegensinnig rotierenden Falzwalzen trifft. Durch die Drehung der Falzwalzen wird das Produkt in den Spalt eingezogen und auf diese Weise gefalzt.Such apparatuses are used in the printing industry especially in newspaper printing, in Connected to a web press used to make a continuous printed To cut web into individual products across and the products thus obtained across fold. Here are the individual products to be folded by a folding cylinder so on Pair of folding rollers deliver that portion of the product in which the fold should be formed in a gap between the counter-rotating folding rollers meets. The rotation of the folding rollers, the product is drawn into the gap and folded in this way.

Die DE-PS 11 26 412 und die EP 0 222 152 B1 offenbaren Räderfalzapparate.DE-PS 11 26 412 and EP 0 222 152 B1 disclose Räderfalzapparate.

Die US 19 85 917 A beschreibt einen Räderfalzapparat, bei dem die Zahnräder zum Antrieb der Falzwalzen so dimensioniert werden können, dass entweder Schlupf oder Gleichlauf der Falzwalzen mit dem Falzzylinder erreichbar ist.The US 19 85 917 A describes a Winder, in which the gears for Drive the folding rollers can be dimensioned so that either slip or Synchronization of the folding rollers with the folding cylinder can be achieved.

Die GB 225 306 A gibt den Hinweis, die Falzwalzen eines Räderfalzes ohne direkte Getriebeverbindung zum Falzzylinder anzutreiben.The GB 225 306 A gives the hint, the folding rollers of a Räderfalzes without direct To drive gear connection to the folding cylinder.

Die GB 21 06 478 A und die DE 37 41 990 A1 zeigen Falzwalzen, die mittels Gelenkwellen angetrieben sind.GB 21 06 478 A and DE 37 41 990 A1 show folding rollers by means of Drive shafts are driven.

Durch die DE 44 02 387 A1 sind Falzwalzen bekannt, die durch einen Elektromotor angetrieben sind. By DE 44 02 387 A1 folding rollers are known, which by an electric motor are driven.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Räderfalzapparat zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a Räderfalzapparat.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Räderfalzapparate werden im Gegensatz zu Klappenfalzapparaten vorzugsweise zur Verarbeitung relativ dicker Produkte eingesetzt, die in den Klappen eines Klappenfalzapparates nicht sicher gehalten werden können. Solche Produkte zu verarbeiten, ist mit einem Räderfalzapparat zwar möglich, doch ergeben sich auch hier technische Probleme aus der Notwendigkeit, Produkte in wechselnder, nicht vernachlässigbarer Dicke zu verarbeiten. Damit das zu verarbeitende Produkt am Eingang des Spalts zwischen den Falzwalzen von diesen zuverlässig erfasst, eingezogen und möglichst scharf gefalzt wird, müssen diese quer zur Spaltebene gegeneinander einstellbar sein, wobei die Falzwalzen so eingestellt werden müssen, dass die Produkte sicher in den Spalt der Falzwalzen übergeben werden und keine Falzmarkierungen am Produkt entstehen. Diese Notwendigkeit, dass die Falzwalzen verschiebbar sein müssen, führt zu Schwierigkeiten bei der öldichten Lagerung der Falzwalzen in den Seitenplatten eines Gestells des Falzapparats.Winder folders are in contrast to Klappenfalzapparaten preferably for Processing relatively thick products used in the flaps of a Klappenfalzapparates can not be held securely. Such products too processing is possible with a wheel folder, but also arise here technical problems from the need to change products, not negligible thickness to process. So that the product to be processed on Input of the gap between the folding rollers of these reliably detected, fed and as sharp as possible, they must cross each other to the cleavage plane be adjustable, whereby the folding rollers must be adjusted so that the products be safely passed into the nip of the folding rollers and no fold marks on Product arise. This need for the folding rollers to be displaceable leads to difficulties in oil-tight storage of the folding rollers in the side plates a frame of the folder.

Mit der Erfindung kommen unterschiedliche Produkte wie Broadsheet oder Straight, gesammelt oder nichtgesammelt mit unterschiedlicher Dicke und somit auch unterschiedlichen Falzgeschwindigkeiten leicht verarbeitet werden. Die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Falzwalzen muss diesen Produktionsarten angepasst werden, damit die Produkte beim Eintauchen in den Spalt zwischen die Falzwalzen weder gestaucht werden und dadurch knittern, noch gezogen werden und damit Schrammspuren von den Falzwalzen davontragen.With the invention come different products such as broadsheet or straight, collected or not collected with different thickness and therefore also different folding speeds are easily processed. The Circumferential speed of the folding rollers must be adapted to these types of production so that the products neither dive into the gap between the folding rollers be crushed and thereby wrinkle, be pulled and thus Remove traces of scraper from the folding rollers.

Indem der Hilfsmotor mit unterschiedlichen Drehgeschwindigkeiten betrieben wird, können unterschiedliche Voreilungen der Falzwalzen gegenüber dem Zylinder eingestellt werden, ohne dass hierzu Änderungen am Getriebe vorgenommen werden müssen. Die Voreilung kann variiert werden, ohne dass hierfür der Falzapparat - und gegebenenfalls eine ihm vorgeordnete Druckmaschine - angehalten werden muss.By operating the auxiliary engine at different rotational speeds, can set different advances of the folding rollers relative to the cylinder without having to make any changes to the transmission. The Overfeed can be varied without the need for a folder - and if necessary an upstream printing press - must be stopped.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist dem Hilfsmotor eine Steuerschaltung zum Einstellen seiner Drehzahl, vorzugsweise zum stufenlosen Einstellen, zugeordnet.Conveniently, the auxiliary motor is a control circuit for adjusting its Speed, preferably for stepless adjustment assigned.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung umfasst der Räderfalzapparat ferner ein Differentialgetriebe mit drei An- oder Abtriebsgliedern, von denen jeweils eines mit dem Zylinder, mit dem Hilfsmotor bzw. mit den Falzwalzen verbunden ist. Dieses Differentialgetriebe stellt eine Kopplung zwischen dem Zylinder und den Falzwalzen her, die es ermöglicht, letztere im wesentlichen über den Hauptantriebsmotor anzutreiben, der auch den Zylinder antreibt, und mit dem Hilfsmotor lediglich eine Korrektur der Geschwindigkeit der Falzwalzen in der Größenordnung von einigen Prozent zu bewirken.According to a preferred embodiment, the wheel folder further comprises Differential with three input or output members, one of each with the Cylinder, is connected to the auxiliary motor or with the folding rollers. This Differential gear produces a coupling between the cylinder and the folding rollers, which makes it possible to drive the latter substantially via the main drive motor, the also drives the cylinder, and with the auxiliary engine, only a correction of Speed of the folding rollers in the order of a few percent to effect.

Das Differentialgetriebe kann einfach und kompakt als Harmonic-Drive-Getriebe ausgeführt sein. In diesem Fall handelt es sich bei dem mit dem Hilfsmotor verbundenen Antriebsglied vorzugsweise um die zentrale Welle des Harmonic-Drive-Getriebes. Dies erlaubt es, einen Elektromotor mit Drehzahlen im Bereich von mehreren Hundert bis mehreren Tausend Umdrehungen pro Minute direkt als Hilfsmotor an das Differentialgetriebe anzuschließen, ohne dass ein zusätzliches Untersetzungsgetriebe erforderlich ist.The differential gear can be simple and compact as a harmonic drive gearbox be executed. In this case, it is in the connected to the auxiliary motor Drive member preferably around the central shaft of the harmonic drive transmission. This allows an electric motor with speeds in the range of several hundred to several thousand revolutions per minute directly as an auxiliary engine to the To connect differential gear without requiring an additional reduction gear is required.

Die gegeneinander bewegbaren Falzwalzen sind vorzugsweise über Kardanwellen angetrieben; mit diesen ist es möglich, die Falzwalzen trotz ihrer Beweglichkeit gegeneinander gleichmäßig drehanzutreiben, ohne dass Probleme der Öldichtheit an den Lagern der Falzwalzen auftreten.The mutually movable folding rollers are preferably via cardan shafts driven; with these it is possible the folding rollers despite their agility to rotate against each other evenly, without problems of oil tightness of the Storage of the folding rollers occur.

Der Falzapparat umfasst eine Mehrzahl von zwischen zwei seitlichen Gestellplatten gehaltenen Walzen und Zylindern, von denen die wichtigsten im Schnitt in Fig. 1 gezeigt sind. Ein von einem (nicht dargestellten) Falztrichter kommender Materialstrang 01 tritt von oben in den Falzapparat ein und wird auf einen Falzzylinder 02 geführt. Der Falzzylinder 02 wird mit der gleichen Umfangsgeschwindigkeit drehangetrieben wie ein Zylinder 04, z. B. Schneidzylinder 04, mit dem zusammen er einen Spalt 03 begrenzt. Beim Durchlaufen des Spalts 03 wird der Materialstrang 01 von einem Messer des Schneidzylinders 04 in einzelne Produkte zerteilt. Diese werden jeweils mit ihrer in Laufrichtung des Materialstrangs 01 vorderen Kante von Greifern (nicht dargestellt) des Falzzylinders 02 festgehalten und im Gegenuhrzeigersinn am Falzzylinder 02 weiter befördert.The folder comprises a plurality of between two side frame plates held rollers and cylinders, the most important of which are shown in section in Fig. 1 are. A material strand 01 coming from a former (not shown) enters from above into the folder and is guided on a folding cylinder 02. Of the Folding cylinder 02 is rotated at the same peripheral speed as a Cylinder 04, z. B. cutting cylinder 04, with which he limits a gap 03 together. When passing through the gap 03, the material strand 01 of a knife of the Cutting cylinder 04 divided into individual products. These are each with their in Running direction of the material strand 01 front edge of grippers (not shown) of the Folding cylinder 02 held in the counterclockwise direction on the folding cylinder 02 on promoted.

Unterhalb des Falzzylinders 02 ist ein Paar Falzwalzen 06 gegeneinander horizontal verschiebbar angeordnet. Wenn sich die Mitte eines am Falzzylinder 02 nach dem Schneiden weiter beförderten Produktes über dem Spalt 07 zwischen den Falzwalzen 06 befindet, wird das Produkt durch ein aus dem Falzzylinder 02 ausfahrendes Messer (nicht dargestellt) abgestoßen und in den Spalt 07 eingeführt, in den es durch die Drehung der Falzwalzen 06 eingezogen und so mittig gefalzt wird. Unterhalb der Falzwalzen 06 ist ein Schaufelrad 08 so angeordnet, dass aus dem Spalt 07 austretende, gefalzte Produkte jeweils in Schaufeln des Schaufelrades 08 fallen und durch das rotierende Schaufelrad 08 auf eine Bandfördereinrichtung 09 ausgelegt werden.Below the folding cylinder 02 is a pair of folding rollers 06 against each other horizontally slidably arranged. When the middle of one of the folding cylinder 02 after the Cutting further transported product over the gap 07 between the folding rollers 06th is located, the product by a out of the folding cylinder 02 extending knife (not shown) and introduced into the gap 07, in which it by the rotation of the Folding rollers 06 fed and so folded in the middle. Below the folding rollers 06 is a Paddle wheel 08 arranged so that emerging from the gap 07, folded products fall in each case in blades of the paddle wheel 08 and by the rotating paddle wheel 08th be designed for a belt conveyor 09.

Ein Hauptantriebsmotor 11 treibt über ein Zahnrad 12 und ein gezahntes Stirnrad 31 (siehe Fig. 3) des Schneidzylinders 04 dessen Drehbewegung an. Mit dem Stirnrad 31 des Schneidzylinders 04 kämmt auch ein Zahnrad des Falzzylinders 02, über das die Drehung des letzteren angetrieben wird. Über eine auf der Achse des Schneidzylinders 04 montierte Riemenscheibe 13 und einem Riemen 14 wird die Drehung des Schaufelrades 08 angetrieben. A main drive motor 11 drives via a gear 12 and a toothed spur gear 31 (see Fig. 3) of the cutting cylinder 04 whose rotational movement. With the spur gear 31 the cutting cylinder 04 also meshes with a gear of the folding cylinder 02, via which the Rotation of the latter is driven. About one on the axis of the cutting cylinder 04 mounted pulley 13 and a belt 14, the rotation of the Paddle wheel 08 driven.

Die Drehung der Falzwalzen 06 ist über ein Differentialgetriebe 16 mit drei An/Abtriebsgliedern angetrieben, das in Fig. 2 und 3 genauer dargestellt ist.The rotation of the folding rollers 06 is via a differential gear 16 with three input / output members driven, which is shown in Fig. 2 and 3 in more detail.

Das in Fig. 2 im Schnitt gezeigte Differentialgetriebe 16 ist ein sogenanntes Harmonic-Drive-Getriebe 16 oder HD-Getriebe 16.The differential gear 16 shown in section in FIG. 2 is a so-called Harmonic Drive gearbox 16 or HD gearbox 16.

Eine zentrale Welle 17 des HD-Getriebes 16 ist direkt an die Abtriebswelle eines Hilfsmotors 18 gekoppelt. Diese zentrale Welle 17 hat einen Abschnitt von elliptischem Querschnitt 19, auch als Rotor 19 bezeichnet, auf dem, getrennt durch entsprechend der Form des Rotors 19 elliptisch verformte Lager 20, z. B. Kugellager 20, ein flexibler, der Außenkontur der Kugellager 20 entsprechend verformter Ring 21 aufgezogen ist, der eine Außenverzahnung trägt. Dieser außen verzahnte Ring 21, auch als Flexspline bezeichnet, kämmt mit zwei axial nebeneinander angeordneten, innen verzahnten Hülsen 22; 23, die jeweils drehfest mit Zahnrädern, 24; 26 verbunden sind. Der elliptisch geformte Ring 21 kämmt mit den Innenverzahnungen der Hülsen 22; 23 jeweils an zwei gegenüberliegenden Stellen auf der längeren Achse der Ellipse, und seine Zähnezahl ist um eine kleine gerade Zahl niedriger als die der Hülsen 22; 23.A central shaft 17 of the HD transmission 16 is directly to the output shaft of a Auxiliary motor 18 coupled. This central shaft 17 has a section of elliptical Cross section 19, also referred to as rotor 19, on which, separated by according to the Shape of the rotor 19 elliptically deformed bearings 20, z. B. ball bearing 20, a flexible, the Outer contour of the ball bearing 20 corresponding deformed ring 21 is wound, the one External toothing carries. This externally toothed ring 21, also referred to as Flexspline, meshes with two axially adjacent, internally toothed sleeves 22; 23, the each non-rotatably with gears, 24; 26 are connected. The elliptically shaped ring 21 meshes with the internal serrations of the sleeves 22; 23 each at two opposite points on the longer axis of the ellipse, and its number of teeth is by a small even number lower than that of the sleeves 22; 23rd

Wie in der perspektivischen Ansicht der Fig. 3 gezeigt, kämmt das von der Seitenplatte 27 des Gestells 27 abgelegene Zahnrad 24 mit einem ersten Antriebszahnrad 28 der Falzwalzen 06, das an der Seitenplatte 27 ortsfest drehbar gelagert ist, und das erste Antriebszahnrad 28 kämmt seinerseits mit einem zweiten Antriebszahnrad 29 der Falzwalzen 06. Die Zähnezahlen der Antriebszahnräder 28; 29 sind gleich, so dass beide mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit gegensinnig rotieren.As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 3, that meshes with the side plate 27 the rack 27 remote gear 24 with a first drive gear 28 of the Folding rollers 06, which is rotatably mounted on the side plate 27 stationary, and the first Drive gear 28 in turn meshes with a second drive gear 29 of the Folding rollers 06. The numbers of teeth of the drive gears 28; 29 are the same, so both Rotate in opposite directions at the same speed.

Das näher zur Seitenplatte 27 hin gelegene Zahnrad 26 des Differentialgetriebes 16 kämmt mit dem oben bereits erwähnten Stirnrad 31 des Schneidzylinders 04. Das Zahnrad 26 stellt somit ein erstes Antriebsglied des Differentialgetriebes 16 dar, und das Zahnrad 24 bildet ein Abtriebsglied.The closer to the side plate 27 towards gear 26 of the differential gear 16th meshes with the above-mentioned spur gear 31 of the cutting cylinder 04. Das Gear 26 thus constitutes a first drive member of the differential gear 16, and the Gear 24 forms an output member.

Wenn die zentrale Welle 17 des Differentialgetriebes 16 nicht rotiert, überträgt sich eine vom Stirnrad 31 angetriebene Drehung des Zahnrades 26 auf den Ring 21, der dann mit einer Drehzahl rotiert, die um das Verhältnis der Zähnezahlen von Hülse 22 und Ring 21 größer als die des Zahnrades 24 ist. Eine entsprechende Übersetzung findet zwischen dem Ring 21 und der Hülse 23 statt, so dass, wenn die Zahnzahlen der Hülsen 22; 23 gleich sind, die Zahnräder 24; 26 mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit rotieren. Die Zahnzahlen des Stirnrades 31, der Zahnräder 26; 24 des Differentialgetriebes 16 und der Antriebszahnräder 28; 29 der Falzwalzen 06 sind so gewählt, dass sich in diesem Zustand, bei festgehaltener Welle 17, eine Voreilung der Falzwalzen 06 von ca. 14 % gegenüber dem Falzzylinder 02 ergibt.When the central shaft 17 of the differential gear 16 does not rotate, a transmits driven by the spur gear 31 rotation of the gear 26 on the ring 21, which then with rotates a speed that the ratio of the numbers of teeth of sleeve 22 and ring 21st greater than that of the gear 24. A corresponding translation takes place between the ring 21 and the sleeve 23, so that when the numbers of teeth of the sleeves 22; 23 are the same, the gears 24; 26 rotate at the same speed. The numbers of teeth the spur gear 31, the gears 26; 24 of the differential gear 16 and the Drive gears 28; 29 of the folding rollers 06 are chosen so that in this Condition, with the shaft 17 held in place, an advance of the folding rollers 06 of approx. 14% opposite the folding cylinder 02 results.

Dem Hilfsmotor 18 ist eine nicht dargestellte Steuerschaltung zugeordnet, die ihn derart mit elektrischer Energie versorgt, dass er mit einer an dieser Steuerschaltung einstellbaren Geschwindigkeit vor- oder rückwärts rotiert. Derartige Steuerschaltungen sind bekannt und brauchen hier nicht im Detail beschrieben zu werden.The auxiliary motor 18 is associated with a control circuit, not shown, which it so supplied with electrical energy, that he is connected to one of this control circuit adjustable speed rotates forward or backward. Such control circuits are known and need not be described in detail here.

Die vom Hilfsmotor 18 angetriebene Drehung der Welle 17 überlagert sich mit der vom Stirnrad 31 angetriebenen Drehung additiv mit einem Untersetzungsverhältnis, das dem Verhältnis zwischen der Zähnezahl des Rings 21 und der Differenz der Zähnezahlen von Ring 21 und Hülse 22 oder 23 entspricht. Diese durch die Konstruktion des HD-Getriebes 16 bedingte Untersetzung erlaubt es, den Hilfsmotor 18 direkt, ohne Zwischenschaltung eines Untersetzungsgetriebes, an die Welle 17 zu koppeln und durch Variieren der Drehzahl des Hilfsmotors 18 in seinem gesamten nutzbaren Drehzahlbereich, der z. B. ± 3.500 U/min. umfassen kann, eine Korrektur der Drehgeschwindigkeit der Falzwalzen 06 in einer Größenordnung von z. B. nur ± 2 % bezogen auf ihre Geschwindigkeit bei stehender Welle 17 zu erreichen. D. h. die Voreilung ist in einem Intervall von 12 % bis 16 % einstellbar. Ein solches Korrekturintervall ist vollauf ausreichend, um die Geschwindigkeit der Falzwalzen 06 an die Verarbeitung unterschiedlich dicker Produkte anpassen zu können; innerhalb dieses Bereichs ist eine sehr exakte Regelung möglich.The driven by the auxiliary motor 18 rotation of the shaft 17 is superimposed with the from Spur gear 31 driven rotation additive with a reduction ratio, the Ratio between the number of teeth of the ring 21 and the difference in the number of teeth of Ring 21 and sleeve 22 or 23 corresponds. These by the construction of the HD transmission 16 conditional reduction allows the auxiliary motor 18 directly, without interposition a reduction gear to couple to the shaft 17 and by varying the Speed of the auxiliary motor 18 in its entire usable speed range, the z. B. ± 3,500 rpm. a correction of the rotational speed of the Folding rollers 06 in the order of z. B. only ± 2% based on their Speed at standing shaft 17 to reach. Ie. the advance is in one Interval adjustable from 12% to 16%. Such a correction interval is in full sufficient to speed the folding rollers 06 to processing to be able to adapt to different thicknesses of products; within this area is one very exact control possible.

Anstelle eines in zwei Drehrichtungen regelbar antreibaren Hilfsmotors 18 kann auch ein Hilfsmotor mit einer einzigen Drehrichtung eingesetzt werden; in diesem Fall ist die Übersetzung zwischen Schneidzylinder 04 und Falzwalzen 06 bei stehender Welle 17 jeweils so gewählt, dass eine Voreilung am unteren (oder oberen) Rand eines gewünschten Wertebereichs, also z. B. 12 % (oder 16%) resultiert, und eine Korrektur der Voreilung von bis zu +4 % (oder -4 %) wird durch entsprechende Einstellung der Drehzahl des Hilfsmotors erreicht.Instead of a controllably driven in two directions of rotation auxiliary motor 18 may also be Auxiliary motor can be used with a single direction of rotation; in this case, the Translation between cutting cylinder 04 and folding rollers 06 with stationary shaft 17th each chosen so that an overedge at the lower (or upper) edge of a desired range of values, ie z. B. 12% (or 16%) results, and a correction of Advance of up to + 4% (or -4%) is achieved by appropriate adjustment of Speed of the auxiliary engine reached.

Wie Fig. 3 zeigt, wird die Drehung der Antriebszahnräder 28; 29 an die Falzwalzen 06 jeweils über winkelausgleichende Kupplungen 32, z. B. Kardanwellen 32 übertragen. Diese umfassen jeweils zwei Gelenke 33; 34, z. B. Kardangelenke 33; 34 und eine Stange 36, die jeweils einen Kopf 37 der Kardangelenke 33, 34 miteinander verbindet. Der andere Kopf 38 des Gelenks 33 sitzt an einem Ende einer Welle, deren anderes Ende das Antriebszahnrad 28 bzw. 29 trägt und in einer Lagerbuchse 39 gehalten ist, die in nicht dargestellter Weise fest mit der Seitenplatte 27 verbunden ist.As shown in Fig. 3, the rotation of the drive gears 28; 29 to the folding rollers 06 via angle compensating couplings 32, z. B. propeller shaft 32 transmitted. These each comprise two joints 33; 34, z. B. universal joints 33; 34 and one Bar 36, each having a head 37 of the universal joints 33, 34 interconnected. The other head 38 of the hinge 33 is seated at one end of a shaft, the other end the drive gear 28 and 29 carries and is held in a bearing bush 39 which in not shown way firmly connected to the side plate 27.

Der zweite Kopf 38 des Kardangelenks 34 ist über eine Welle starr mit einer der Falzwalzen 06 verbunden. Diese Welle erstreckt sich durch eine erste Lagerbuchse 41, die zwischen dem Kardangelenk 34 und der Falzwalze 06 angeordnet ist, und eine zweite (nicht dargestellte) Lagerbuchse am gegenüberliegenden Ende der Falzwalze 06. Beide Lagerbuchsen sind quer zur Ebene des Spalts 07 zwischen den zwei Falzwalzen 06 verschiebbar, z. B. durch eine Schienenführung oder durch Montage an einem Schwenkarm.The second head 38 of the universal joint 34 is rigidly connected to one of the shaft via a shaft Folding rollers 06 connected. This shaft extends through a first bearing bush 41, which is arranged between the universal joint 34 and the folding roller 06, and a second (not shown) bearing bush at the opposite end of the folding roller 06. Both Bushings are transverse to the plane of the gap 07 between the two folding rollers 06th displaceable, z. B. by a rail guide or by mounting on a Swivel arm.

Eine gewisse Bewegungsfreiheit der Falzwalzen 06 quer zur Ebene des Spalts 07 resultiert bereits aus einem Spiel der Köpfe 37; 38 in Längsrichtung. Die Bewegungsfreiheit lässt sich vergrößern, wenn die Stangen 36 jeweils einen teleskopisch ausziehbaren Aufbau haben, mit einer mit einem der Köpfe 37; 38 starr verbundenen äußeren Hülse und einem mit dem jeweils anderen Kopf 38 bzw. 37 starr verbundenen, in der Hülse drehfest und verschiebbar geführten Schaft.A certain freedom of movement of the folding rollers 06 transversely to the plane of the gap 07th already results from a game of heads 37; 38 in the longitudinal direction. The Freedom of movement can be increased if the rods 36 each have a telescopic extendable structure, with one with one of the heads 37; 38 rigidly connected outer sleeve and one rigidly connected to the other head 38 and 37, in the sleeve rotatably and slidably guided shaft.

Anstelle des Hilfsmotors 18 können beide Falzwalzen 06 mechanisch gekoppelt sein und über einen eigenen vom Hauptantrieb unabhängigen, insbesondere drehzahl- und/oder lagegeregelten Elektromotor angetrieben sein. Ebenso kann für jede Falzwalze 06 ein eigener drehzahl- und/oder lagegeregelter Elektromotor vorgesehen sein. Instead of the auxiliary motor 18, both folding rollers 06 may be mechanically coupled and via its own from the main drive independent, especially speed and / or be driven position-controlled electric motor. Likewise, for each folding roller 06 a its own speed and / or position-controlled electric motor be provided.
