Ein erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren zum Beschneiden eines einzelnen Buchs mit einer Vorderkante und zwei Seitenkanten sieht vor, dass ein Buch in eine Transportrichtung transportiert wird, so dass die Vorderkante parallel zur Transportrichtung verläuft, dass die Vorderkante mittels eines hin und her bewegten Vordermessers beschnitten wird, wenn die Vorderkante parallel zur Transportrichtung ausgerichtet ist, dass das Buch in der Weise transportiert wird, dass die Seitenkanten parallel zur Transportrichtung sind, und dass die Seitenkanten mittels hin und her bewegter Seitenmesser beschnitten werden, wenn die Seitenkanten parallel zur Transportrichtung ausgerichtet sind.An inventive method for trimming a single book with a leading edge and two side edges provides that a book is transported in a transport direction so that the leading edge is parallel to the transport direction, that the leading edge is trimmed by means of a reciprocating front knife when Aligned leading edge parallel to the transport direction, that the book is transported in such a way that the side edges are parallel to the transport direction, and that the side edges are trimmed by reciprocating side knives, when the side edges are aligned parallel to the transport direction.

Durch den Einsatz von hin und her bewegten Vorder- und Seitenmessern, welche die Kanten parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung beschneiden, kann der Ausstoß verbessert werden und es können kostengünstige Anordnungen mit hin und her bewegten Messern verwendet werden, um ein einzelnes Buch zu beschneiden. Außerdem kann für alle drei Messer eine ähnliche Messerkonstruktion verwendet werden. Durch die Erfindung wird ein Beschnitt von höherer Qualität erreicht als bei Drehmessern, die einen Schuppenstrom beschneiden. Eine Registereinstellung des Vorderschnittmessers in Transportrichtung ist nicht erforderlich.Through the use of reciprocating front and side knives which cut the edges parallel to the direction of travel, the output can be improved and low cost reciprocating blade arrangements can be used to trim a single book. In addition, a similar knife design can be used for all three knives. By the invention, a trim of higher quality is achieved than with rotary blades, which trim a scale flow. A registration of the front cutting blade in the transport direction is not required.

Die Vorderkante wird vorzugsweise vor den Seitenkanten beschnitten, und der Rücken des Buchs liegt während des Vorderkantenbeschnitts an einer festen Führung an. Die Ausrichtung der Vorderkante zum Rücken wird auf vorteilhafte Weise durch ein einfaches, kostengünstiges Verfahren erreicht. Ein Problem mit Signaturen mit einem vorstehenden Abschnitt besteht nicht. Es kann außerdem vorgesehen sein, dass der Rücken vor dem Seitenkantenbeschnitt geritzt wird.The leading edge is preferably trimmed before the side edges, and the spine of the book abuts against a fixed guide during the leading edge trimming. The alignment of the leading edge to the back is advantageously achieved by a simple, inexpensive method. There is no problem with signatures with a preceding section. It can also be provided that the back is scratched in front of the side edge trimming.

Vorzugsweise wird der Rücken an den Seiten mittels eines Lasers geritzt, um das Ausfransen vor dem Seitenbeschnitt zu reduzieren.Preferably, the back is scored on the sides by means of a laser to reduce fraying before side trimming.

Das Buch wird vorzugsweise zwischen dem Vorderkantenbeschnitt und den Seitenkantenbeschnitten in einer Ebene des Buchs um 90° gedreht, so dass die Transportrichtung um 90° geändert wird.The book is preferably cut by 90 ° between the leading edge trimming and the side edges in a plane of the book, so that the transporting direction is changed by 90 °.

Das Buch kann beispielsweise auf einer Mitnehmertransportvorrichtung geheftet werden und vor dem ersten Beschnitt auf die Seite gelegt werden.For example, the book may be stapled on a pickup transport and placed on the page prior to the first cut.

Weiterhin schafft die vorliegende Erfindung eine Beschnittvorrichtung für einzelne Bücher mit einer Transportvorrichtung zum Transport eines Buchs in eine Transportrichtung, einem hin und her bewegten Vordermesser zum Beschneiden einer Vorderkante des Buchs, wobei das Vordermesser eine parallel zur Transportrichtung der Transportvorrichtung am Vordermesser verlaufende erste Messerkante aufweist, und mindestens einem hin und her bewegten Seitenmesser zum Beschneiden der Seitenkanten des Buchs, wobei das Seitenmesser eine parallel zur Transportrichtung verlaufende zweite Messerkante aufweist.Furthermore, the present invention provides a trimming device for individual books with a transport device for transporting a book in a transport direction, a reciprocating front knife for trimming a front edge of the book, wherein the front knife has a first knife edge parallel to the transport direction of the transport device on the front knife, and at least one reciprocating side knife for trimming the side edges of the book, the side knife having a second knife edge parallel to the transport direction.

Die Dreheinheit kann als eine Kreisdreheinheit oder eine Inline-Dreheinheit ausgebildet sein.The transport device preferably comprises a turntable which rotates the book in a plane of the book by 90 °. The rotary unit may be configured as a circular rotary unit or an inline rotary unit.

Das Vordermesser ist vorzugsweise bezüglich der Transportrichtung stromaufwärts von den Seitenmessern angeordnet. Am Vordermesser ist eine feste Führung vorgesehen, gegen die der Rücken des Buchs ausgerichtet wird. Die Transportvorrichtung umfasst einen schräg zur festen Führung angeordneten ersten Transportabschnitt zum Heranführen des Rückens an die feste Führung und einen zweiten parallel zur festen Führung verlaufenden Transportabschnitt um.The front knife is preferably arranged upstream of the side knives with respect to the transport direction. On the front knife a fixed guide is provided against which the back of the book is aligned. The transport device comprises an obliquely to the fixed guide arranged first transport section for bringing the back to the fixed guide and a second parallel to the fixed guide extending transport section to.

Bezüglich der Transportrichtung stromaufwärts von den Seitenmessern können eine Laser-Ritzvorrichtung sowie eine Seitenkanten-Ausrichtvorrichtung - je nach Zusammentragart des Buchs entweder für den Kopf oder den Fuß des Buchs - vorgesehen sein.With respect to the transport direction upstream of the side knives, a laser scribe device and a side edge alignment device may be provided, depending on the type of collation of the book for either the head or foot of the book.

Verschränkte Transportbehälter können das Buch beispielsweise von einer dieses rittlings transportierenden Mitnehmertransportvorrichtung einer Heftvorrichtung weg transportieren, von der rittlings eingenommenen Lage in eine flache Lage drehen und an die Transportvorrichtung übergeben.Entangled transport containers can, for example, transport the book away from a straddle carrier transporting this straddle transporting device, rotate it from the straddled position into a flat position and transfer it to the transport device.

Alle hin und her bewegten Messer können gleich konstruiert sein und weisen vorzugsweise eine lineare Messerkante auf, die während des Beschnittvorgangs parallel oder in einem vorgegebenen Winkel zur Ebene des Buchs verläuft. Es kann sich z.B. um Messer des HT-Typs der Firma Standard Duplicating Machines Corporation mit Sitz in Andover, Massachusetts, USA (www.sdmc.com) oder um kolbengetriebene Messer handeln. Die Bezeichnung "hin und her bewegtes Messer" bedeutet hier, dass das Messer in die Ebene des Buches und aus dieser heraus bewegt wird, um das Buch zu beschneiden.All reciprocating knives may be of the same design and preferably have a linear knife edge that is parallel or at a predetermined angle to the plane of the book during the trimming operation. These may be, for example, knives of the HT type from Standard Duplicating Machines Corporation, based in Andover, Massachusetts, USA ( www.sdmc.com ), or piston-driven knives. The term "reciprocating knife" here means that the knife is moved into the plane of the book and out of it to prune the book.

In einer Vorderkantenbeschnittstation 20 wird die Vorderkante 104 des Buchs 100 mittels eines hin und her bewegten Vordermessers 22 beschnitten. Es kann eine Klemmvorrichtung 24 vorgesehen sein, um das Buch 100 während des Beschneidevorgangs festzuklemmen. Ein Antrieb 72 kann das Vordermesser 22 hin und her bewegen.In the second section 14, the book 100 is preferably transported in such a manner that the plane of the book 100 is horizontal. In a leading edge trim station 20, the leading edge 104 of the book 100 is trimmed by means of a reciprocating front knife 22. A clamp 24 may be provided to clamp the book 100 during the trimming operation. A drive 72 can move the front blade 22 back and forth.

Die Transportvorrichtung 10 umfasst weiterhin eine Kreisdreheinheit 16, die das teilweise beschnittene Buch 100 vom Abschnitt 14 erfasst, in der Ebene des Buches 100 um 90° dreht und an eine je nach Zusammentragart des Buchs 100 die Kopfseite 106 oder die Fußseite 108 des Buchs 100 ausrichtende Ausrichtvorrichtung 40 der Transportvorrichtung 10 übergibt. Wenn eine Ausrichtung der Fußseite 108 gewünscht ist, bewegt die Ausrichtvorrichtung 40 das Buch 100 in die Richtung D3 gegen eine Seitenführung. Wenn dagegen eine Ausrichtung der Kopfseite 106 gewünscht ist, bewegt die Ausrichtvorrichtung 40 das Buch 100 in die Richtung D4 gegen eine Seitenführung. Anschließend läuft das seitlich ausgerichtete Buch 100 in einen weiteren Abschnitt 18 der Transportvorrichtung 10 ein. Es kann eine Laser-Ritzvorrichtung 50 zum Laser-Ritzen des Rückens 102 an den Kanten des Rückens 102 vorgesehen sein, wodurch Beschädigungen während des Seitenbeschnitts reduziert werden können.The transport device 10 further comprises a circular turning unit 16 which captures the partially trimmed book 100 from the section 14, rotates 90 ° in the plane of the book 100, and aligns the head page 106 or the foot 108 of the book 100 with a collation type of the book 100 Aligning device 40 of the transport device 10 passes. If an alignment of the foot 108 is desired, the alignment device 40 moves the book 100 in the direction D3 against a side guide. In contrast, if alignment of the head 106 is desired, the alignment device 40 moves the book 100 in the direction D4 against a side guide. Subsequently, the laterally oriented book 100 enters a further section 18 of the transport device 10. A laser scribe device 50 may be provided for laser scribing the spine 102 at the edges of the spine 102, thereby reducing damage during side trimming.

Der weitere Abschnitt 18 der Transportvorrichtung 10 transportiert das Buch 100 anschließend in der Transportrichtung D5 zu einer Kantenbeschnittstation 60 mit einem ersten hin und her bewegten Seitenmesser 62 und einem zweiten hin und her bewegten Seitenmesser 64 sowie mit jeweils einer Klemmvorrichtung 66 und 68. Es kann ein gemeinsamer Antrieb 70 zur Hin- und Herbewegung der Seitenmesser 62, 64 vorgesehen sein.The further section 18 of the transport device 10 then transports the book 100 in the transport direction D5 to a Kantenbeschnittstation 60 with a first reciprocating side knife 62 and a second reciprocating side knife 64 and each with a clamping device 66 and 68. It can common drive 70 for reciprocating the side knives 62, 64 may be provided.

Anschließend verlässt das vollständig beschnittene Buch 100 die Beschnittvorrichtung. Es wäre auch möglich, das Buch 100 in seiner Ebene gegebenenfalls um weitere 90° zu drehen, um den Rücken 102 mit einem weiteren hin und her bewegten Messer zu beschneiden.Subsequently, the fully trimmed book 100 leaves the trimming device. It would also be possible to rotate the book 100 in its plane optionally by another 90 ° to trim the back 102 with another reciprocating knife.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Draufsicht einer alternativen Ausführungsform, bei der die Transportrichtung D6 nach der ersten Ausrichtvorrichtung gleich bleibt. Fig. 2 shows a plan view of an alternative embodiment in which the transport direction D6 remains the same after the first alignment.

Wie schematisch in Fig. 3 gezeigt ist, können die Bücher 100 zunächst von einer Heftvorrichtung 82 geheftet werden, welche die Bücher 100 auf einer Mitnehmertransportvorrichtung 80 heftet. Die Mitnehmertransportvorrichtung 80 transportiert ein jeweiliges Buch 100 rittlings in einer aufgerichteten Lage desselben. Die Bücher 100 werden anschließend an verschränkte Transportbänder 90 übergeben, welche die Bücher 100 drehen, bis ihre Ebene horizontal ist.As schematically in Fig. 3 1, the books 100 may first be stapled by a stapler 82 that staples the books 100 onto a pickup transport 80. Carrier conveyor 80 transports a respective book 100 astride it in an upright position. The books 100 are then transferred to entangled conveyor belts 90 which rotate the books 100 until their plane is horizontal.

Wie zurückkommend auf Fig. 2 in dieser erkennbar, werden die Bücher 100 von den verschränkten Transportbändern 90 an einen ersten Abschnitt 112 einer Transportvorrichtung übergeben, welcher die Bücher 100 in eine Richtung D7 gegen eine feste Führung 130 bewegt, an welcher der Rücken 102 des Buchs 100 ausgerichtet wird, so dass die Vorderkante 104 ausgerichtet ist. In einer Vorderkantenbeschnittstation 120 wird die Vorderkante 104 des Buches 100 beschnitten. Hierzu ist ein Antrieb 200 mit einer Welle 128 vorgesehen. Wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt ist, ist die Welle 128 mit einem Antriebsarm 129 verbunden, der ein Vordermesser in der Weise antreibt, dass es sich auf und ab bewegt. Das Vordermesser 122 bewegt sich also in die Richtung C1, um die Vorderkante 104 zu beschneiden. Die Messerkante 124 des Vordermessers 122 kann parallel zur Ebene des Buchs 100 verbleiben oder hierzu um einen vorgegebenen Winkel geneigt sein.How to get back on Fig. 2 discernible therein, the books 100 are transferred from the entangled conveyor belts 90 to a first section 112 of a transport device which moves the books 100 in a direction D7 against a fixed guide 130 at which the spine 102 of the book 100 is aligned so that the leading edge 104 is aligned. In a leading edge trim station 120, the leading edge 104 of the book 100 is trimmed. For this purpose, a drive 200 with a shaft 128 is provided. As in Fig. 3 is shown, the shaft 128 is connected to a drive arm 129 which drives a front knife in such a way that it moves up and down. The front knife 122 thus moves in the direction C1 to trim the leading edge 104. The knife edge 124 of the front knife 122 may remain parallel to the plane of the book 100 or be inclined thereto by a predetermined angle.

Das Buch 100 kann anschließend in seiner Ebene von einer Inline-Drehvorrichtung 116, welche eine Kante des Buchs 100 mittels Greifern erfasst und das Buch 100 während einer Linearbewegung der Greifer dreht, um 90° gedreht werden. Wenn das Buch 100, von einem Transportvorrichtungsabschnitt 118 transportiert, in einer Kantenbeschnittstation 160 eintrifft, verlaufen die beiden Seitenkanten 106, 108 parallel zur Transportrichtung D6 und können von hin und her bewegten Seitenmessern 162 bzw. 164 mit zur Transportrichtung D6 parallelen Messerkanten 202 beschnitten werden. Die Seitenmesser 162, 164 können in vorteilhafter Weise wie das Vordermesser 122 konstruiert sein und ihre Messerkanten 124 sowie 202 können zur Ebene des Buchs 100 unter einem vorgegangenen Winkel, z. B. auch parallel verlaufen.The book 100 may then be rotated 90 degrees in its plane by an in-line turning device 116 which grasps an edge of the book 100 by means of grippers and rotates the book 100 during a linear movement of the grippers. When the book 100, transported by a transport device section 118, arrives at an edge trim station 160, the two side edges 106, 108 are parallel to the transport direction D6 and can be trimmed by reciprocating side knives 162, 164, respectively, with knife edges 202 parallel to the transport direction D6. The side knives 162, 164 may be advantageously constructed like the front knife 122, and their knife edges 124 and 202 may be inclined to the plane of the book 100 at a forward angle, e.g. B. also run parallel.

Die Seitenmesser 162, 164 können von der durch den gemeinsamen Antrieb 200 angetriebenen Antriebswelle 168 auf und ab bewegt werden.The side knives 162, 164 can be moved up and down by the drive shaft 168 driven by the common drive 200.
