Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Riementransportsystem einer Blech-Druckmaschine oder Blech-Lackiermaschine, mit die jeweilige Vorderkante von zu bearbeitenden Blechtafeln beaufschlagenden Vorderkantenanschlägen und einer Anlegetrommel, die mindestens eine Anlegemarke für die Vorderkante der Jeweiligen Blechtafel aufweist.The invention relates to a belt transport system of a sheet metal printing machine or sheet metal coating machine, with the respective leading edge of sheet metal plates to be machined front edge stops and a feed drum having at least one application mark for the front edge of the respective metal sheet.

Ein bisher bekanntes Vorderkantenanschlagsystem führt die Vorderkante der jeweiligen Blechtafel bis zur Übergabe an die Anlegemarke nahezu lückenlos.A previously known leading edge stop system leads the leading edge of the respective metal sheet until the transfer to the registration mark almost completely.

Von auf dem Marktbefindlichen Lackiermaschinen, die dem Lackieren von Blechtafeln dienen, wird die möglichst passgenaue Bereitstellung einer In das Walzlackwerk dieser Maschine einlaufenden Blechtafel durch vorgelagertes Anlegen der Tafelvorderkante an Anlegemarken einer Anlegetrommel erreicht. Die Anlegemarken sind vorzugsweise als Greifermarken ausgebildet. In die Greifermarken wird die Tafel mittels umlaufenden, gefederten Tafelschüben von hinten, also an der Hinterkante der Blechkante angreifenden Stützanschlägen, geschoben. Die Tafelschübe laufen etwas schneller als die Tafel, die von einer entsprechenden Zuführeinrichtung transportiert wird. Hierdurch holen die Tafelschübe die Blechtafel ein. Die Tafelschübe sind an einem umlaufenden Trum befestigt, so dass das erwähnte Einholen nach dem Auftauchen der Tafelschübe aus dem rücklaufenden Trumstrang erfolgt Dabei kann es gelegentlich zum Prellen kommen, das heißt, die jeweilige Blechtafel wird unkontrolliert nach vom gestoßen.Of on-market painting machines that serve the painting of metal sheets, the most tailor-made provision of an incoming into the rolling mill of this machine sheet metal plate is achieved by pre-application of the front edge of the sheet to application marks a feed drum. The application marks are preferably designed as gripper marks. In the gripper marks, the panel by means of rotating, spring-loaded panel pushes from behind, so attacking at the trailing edge of the sheet edge supporting stops, pushed. The table drawers run slightly faster than the board, which is transported by a corresponding feeder. As a result, the Tafelschübe get the metal sheet. The Tafelschübe are attached to a circumferential strand, so that the aforementioned catching takes place after the emergence of the Tafelschübe from the returning Trumstrang It can occasionally come to bouncing, that is, the respective metal sheet is pushed uncontrollably to from.

Um das unkontrollierte Nach-Vome-Stoßen einer Blechtafel zu vermeiden, ist nach einem anderen bekannten Vorderkantenanschlagsystem vorgesehen, dass ein umlaufendes Trum mit Anschlagnasen ausgebildet ist. Die Umlaufgeschwindigkeit dieses mit Anschlagnasen versehenen Trums ist etwas geringer als die Tafelgeschwindigkeit, so dass die Tafel mit ihren Vorderkanten auf die Anschlagnasen auflaufen und die Transportriemen der Zuführeinrichtung dann leicht durchrutschen.In order to avoid the uncontrolled Nach-Vome bumping of a metal sheet, is provided according to another known leading edge stop system that a circumferential strand is formed with stop lugs. The speed of rotation of this run with stop lugs is slightly less than the panel speed, so that the panel run up with their leading edges on the stop lugs and then easily slip through the conveyor belts of the feeder.

Nach einem weiteren bekannten Vorderkantenanschlagsystem sind sowohl Tafelschübe für die Hinterkanten der Tafein als auch Anschlagnasen für die Vorderkanten der Tafeln vorgesehen. Die Blechtafeln werden zwischen den Anschlagnasen und den Tafelschüben aufgenommen, wobei die der Vorderkante der jeweiligen Tafel zugeordneten Anschlagnasen in Tafellaufrichtung gesehen vor der Anlegetrommel abtauchen, so dass die Tafel gegen die Anlegemarken der Anlegetrommel mittels eines Hinterkantenschubsystems geschoben wird.According to another known leading edge stop system, both sheet trays for the trailing edges of the sheet and stop noses for the leading edges of the sheets are provided. The metal sheets are received between the stop lugs and the table drawers, wherein the stop lugs associated with the leading edge of the respective panel descend in front of the feed drum in the tray direction, so that the sheet is pushed against the feed marks of the feed drum by means of a trailing edge push system.

Aus der EP 1 116 679 ist eine Vorderkantenanschlagvorrichtung einer Blechdruckmaschine bekannt, diese weißt die Jeweilige Hinterkante von zu bearbeitenden Blechtafeln beaufschlagende Tafelschübe auf. Diese Hinterkantenschübe sorgen für ein Anschieben der Blechtafeln bis eine Übergabe an die Anlegemarken erfolgt ist. Die Hinterkantenschübe sind für die korrekte Übergabe an die Anlegemarken erforderlich.From the EP 1 116 679 a front edge stop device of a metal stamping machine is known, this knows the respective trailing edge of sheet metal plates to be machined on slabs on. These trailing edge thrusts ensure that the metal sheets are pushed on until a handover to the laying marks has taken place. The trailing edge thrusts are required for the correct transfer to the positioning marks.

Es ist femer aus der EP 1 155 996 eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Zuführen von Gegenständen bekannt, wobei hier flach geschuppt überlappende Gegenstände, beispielsweise Blechtafeln, gegen einen Vorderanschlag geführt werden, dort erfolgt eine abrupte Abbremsung und eine Anlage bis die Blechtafel in diesen Bereich ausgerichtet ist. Zur Ausrichtung Ist ein Stillstend der Blechtafel erforderlich.It is further from the EP 1 155 996 discloses a device and a method for feeding objects, in which here flat-scaled overlapping objects, such as metal sheets, are guided against a front stop, there is an abrupt deceleration and a plant until the metal sheet is aligned in this area. Alignment A resting of the metal sheet is required.

Aus der DE 876 527 ist ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zum Anlegen von Blech/Kartontafeln oder ähnlichem zu entnehmen, wobei eine Tafel bei Ihrer Wanderung zur Maschine auf einer Unterlage liegend, um eine bestimmte Entfernungsspanner gegenüber wandernden Anlegemarken nacheilt und dieser Tafel eine beschleunigte Bewegung in der Weise erteilt wird, dass sie noch rechtzeitig vor ihrem Eintritt in die Maschine die Nacheilung aufholt.From the DE 876 527 there is provided a method and apparatus for applying sheet metal panels or the like, with a sheet lying on a base as it travels to the machine, leasing a given distance clamp to wandering lay marks, and giving that sheet accelerated motion in such a manner as to that she catch up in time before her entry into the machine.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Riementransportsystem anzugeben, welches die Blechtafeln ohne die bisher bekannten Hinterkantenschubsysterne passgenau bereitstellt.The invention has for its object to provide a belt transport system, which provides the metal sheets accurately without the known Hinterkantenschubsysterne.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale der unabhängigen Ansprüche 1,4,5 und 8gelöst.This object is solved by the features of independent claims 1, 4, 5 and 8.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist unterhalb eines Saugriemens des Riementransportsystems ein Vakuumbereich engeordnet. Dieser Vakuumbereich erstreckt sich über eine bestimmte Länge des Saugriemens und hat die Aufgabe, ein Vakuum unterhalb des Saugriemens zu erzeugen. Der Saugriemen besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Zahnriemen welcher über seine gesamte Länge Öffnungen zur Weiterleitung des Unterdrucks aufweist. Sobald Ober den Vakuumbereich ein Unterdruck anliegt, wird dieser ein Anziehen der Blechtafel auf den Saugriemen bewirken und damit einen zuverlässigen Transport der Blechtafel sicherstellen.According to the invention, a vacuum region is arranged below a suction belt of the belt transport system. This vacuum region extends over a certain length of the suction belt and has the task of creating a vacuum below the suction belt. The suction belt consists essentially of a toothed belt which has over its entire length openings for forwarding the negative pressure. As soon as a negative pressure is applied to the vacuum region, this will cause the metal sheet to be pulled onto the suction belt, thus ensuring reliable transport of the metal sheet.

Anstelle eines Saugsystems kann auch ein Magnetfeldsystem vorgesehen werden. Dieses Magnetfeldsystem ist dort einsetzbar wo die Blechtafel magnetische Elgenschaften aufweist. Zu diesem Zweck ist kein Saugriemen erforderlich sondern lediglich ein Transportriemen. Das Magnetfeld oder der Magnetfeldbereich der sich unterhalb des Transportriemens befindet bewirkt ein Anziehen der Blechtafel auf das Transportsystem.Instead of a suction system, a magnetic field system can also be provided. This magnetic field system can be used where the metal sheet has magnetic properties. For this purpose, no suction belt is required but only a transport belt. The magnetic field or magnetic field area located below the conveyor belt causes the metal sheet to be attracted to the transport system.

Durch eine gleichzeitige entstehende Geschwindigkeitsdifferenz zwischen Riementransportsystem und Anlegemarke wird die Blechtafel permanent bis zum Schließen des Greifersystems an die Anlegemarke passgenau angelegt.Due to a simultaneous speed difference between the belt transport system and the application mark, the metal sheet is permanently applied to the registration mark until the gripper system is closed.

Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn das Riementransportsystem direkt über die Greifertrommel angetrieben wird. Hierdurch ist in einfacher und zweckmäßiger Konstruktion sichergesteilt, dass die Tafelvorderkante der Jeweiligen Blechtafel bis zum Schließen des Greifersystem passgenau angelegt wird.It is particularly advantageous if the belt transport system is driven directly by the gripper drum. As a result, in a simple and expedient construction, it is ensured that the panel leading edge of the respective metal sheet is accurately fitted until the gripper system is closed.

In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung kann es auch vorteilhaft sein wenn das Riementransportsystem Ober eine eigene Antriebseinrichtung verfügt. Damit ist kein Eingriff in das bestehende Greifertrommelsystem erforderlich. Selbstverständlich kann auch dieser eigene Antrieb mit dem Gesamtantrieb gekoppelt werden.In an alternative embodiment, it may also be advantageous if the belt transport system Has its own drive device. Thus, no intervention in the existing gripper drum system is required. Of course, this own drive can be coupled with the overall drive.

Es ist vorgesehen, den Vakuumbereich oderden Magnetfeldbereich zu takten, dies bedeutet, dass dieses System aktiviert und deaktiviert werden kann. Zweckmäßigerweise wird es aktiviert, wenn sich die Blechtafel im Seitenmarkenbereich befindet, dass heißt in dem Bereich in dem eine seitliche Ausrichtung der Blechtafel erfolgt. Eine Deaktivierung erfolgt dann, wenn die Blechtafel von der Anlegemarke übernommen Ist und die Anlegemarke einen sicheren Halt der Blechtafel bewirkt.It is intended to clock the vacuum area or magnetic field area, which means that this system can be activated and deactivated. It is expediently activated when the metal sheet is in the side mark region, that is to say in the region in which a lateral alignment of the metal sheet takes place. A deactivation takes place when the metal sheet is taken over by the application mark and the application mark causes a secure hold of the metal sheet.

Diese und weitere Vorteile gehen nicht nur aus den Ansprüchen sondern auch aus der Beschreibung hervor.These and other advantages are not only apparent from the claims but also from the description.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments.

Gemäß der Figur 1 weist das Riementransportsystem 1 ein Maschinengestell 2 auf, an dem ein Saugriementransporttrum 3 ein Vorderkantenanschlagtrum 4 und ein Tafeilzuführtrum 5 angeordnet sind. Das Tafelzuführtrum 5 besteht vorzugsweise jeweils aus mehreren mit Abstand zueinander liegenden umlaufenden Riemen, so dass sie sich Ober die Breite von zu manipulierenden, Blechtafel 23 verstrecken. Die Figur zeigt femer ein Walziackwerk 6 einer Blech-Lackiermaschine.According to the FIG. 1 For example, the belt transport system 1 has a machine frame 2 on which a suction belt transport strand 3, a leading edge abutment strand 4 and a taffeta supply strand 5 are arranged. The Tafelzuführtrum 5 preferably each consists of a plurality of spaced-apart circumferential belt so that they stretched over the width of manipulated sheet metal plate 23. The figure also shows a rolling mill 6 of a sheet metal painting machine.

Das Walziackwerk 6 weist einen Lacklerzylinder 7 und einen Gegendruckzylinder 8 auf.The rolling mill 6 has a Lacklerzylinder 7 and an impression cylinder 8.

Die Anordnung ist derart getroffen, dass das Riementransportsystem 1 auf ihrer Transportebene 9 liegend transportierte Blechtafeln in die Spaltebene 10 zwischen Lackierzylinder 7 und Gegendruckzylinder 8 passgenau bzw. korrekt ausgerichtet führt, so dass ein passgenaues Lackieren im Walzwerk 6 erfolgt.The arrangement is such that the belt transport system 1 lying on its transport plane 9 transported metal sheets in the nip plane 10 between the coating cylinder 7 and counter-pressure cylinder 8 accurately aligned or correctly aligned, so that an accurate painting in the rolling mill 6 takes place.

Das Tafelzuführtrum 5 ist über ein erstes Umlenkrad 11 und Ober ein zweites Umlenkrad 12 geführt. Das Vorderkantenanschlagtrum 4 weist auch zwei Umlenkräder 13 und 14 auf. Der Saugriemen 3 Ist über die Greifertrommel 15 und femer um eine Umlenkrolle 16 geführt. Die hinlaufenden Trums des Saugriemens 3 liegen in der Transportebene 9. Die rücklaufenden Trums 17,18 und 19 liegen unterhalb der Transportebene 9. Gleichzeitig voneinander beabstandet sind am Vorderkantenanschlagtrum Vorderkantenanschläge 20 befestigt.The Tafelzuführtrum 5 is guided via a first guide wheel 11 and upper a second guide wheel 12. The Vorderkantenanschlagtrum 4 also has two pulleys 13 and 14. The suction belt 3 is guided over the gripper drum 15 and further around a deflection roller 16. The leading strands of the suction belt 3 are in the transport plane 9. The returning strands 17,18 and 19 are below the transport plane 9. At the same time spaced from each other leading edge stops 20 are attached to the leading edge abutment.

Die Konstruktion ist derart gestaltet, dass im Betrieb eines mittels nicht dargestellter Fördermittel von einem Blechtafelstapel abgehobene und mittels einer Fördereinrichtung zugeführte Blechtafel 23 mit ihrer Vorderkante gegen die Vorderkantenanschläge 20 tritt. Im Zuge der Weiterförderung der Blechtafel in ihrer in der Transportebene liegenden Position wird diese solange in Transportrichtung 21 geführt, bis die Vorderkante der Blechtafel gegen die Anlegemarke 22 der Greifertrommel 15 tritt. Jetzt setzt Im Vakuumbereich bzw. Magnetfeldbereich 3.1 des Riemensystems 1 ein Vakuum bzw. Magnetfeld ein. Durch eine zugleich entstehende Geschwindigkeitsdifferenz zwischen Saugriemen 3 und der Anlegemarke 22 zieht der Saugriemen die durch das Vakuum angezogene Blechtafel 23 mit der Tafelvorderkante permanent gegen die Greifermarke 22 und richtet die Blechtafel hochpräzise aus. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass von der Anlegetrommel 15 aus nunmehrmittels weiterer, nicht dargestellter Transportmittel die hochpräzise ausgerichtete Blechtafel In den Spalt zwischen dem Lakkierzylinder 7 und Gegendruckzylinder 8 exakt lagedefiniert eingeführt wird.The construction is designed in such a way that, in operation, a metal sheet 23 lifted off from a sheet-metal stack by means of a conveying means and not supplied by means of a conveyor passes with its front edge against the front edge stops 20. In the course of further promotion of the metal sheet in its lying in the transport plane position it is guided in the transport direction 21 until the front edge of the metal sheet against the application mark 22 of the gripper drum 15 occurs. Now, in the vacuum region or magnetic field region 3.1 of the belt system 1, a vacuum or magnetic field is applied. By simultaneously creating a speed difference between the suction belt 3 and the application mark 22 of the suction belt pulls the attracted by the vacuum metal plate 23 with the panel leading edge permanently against the gripper mark 22 and aligns the metal sheet with high precision. This makes it possible that from the feed drum 15 now by means of further, not shown transport means, the high-precision oriented sheet metal is inserted exactly defined in the gap between the Lakkierzylinder 7 and impression cylinder 8.

Um eine hohe Taktfolge auch bei großen Blechtafelformaten sicherzustellen, folgen in der Transportebene mit der Fördereinrichtung 9 auf dem Vorderkantenanschlagtrum 4 im Systemabstand montierte Vorderkantenanschläge 20 die der jeweiligen Folgetafel zugeordnet sind.In order to ensure a high cycle rate even with large metal sheet formats, follow in the transport plane with the conveyor 9 on the leading edge stopper 4 in system spacing mounted leading edge stops 20 which are associated with the respective follow-up board.

Aufgrund des dargestellten Saugriementransport ist ein reproduzierbares und passgenaues Anlegen der Blechtafeln möglich.Due to the illustrated Saugriementransport a reproducible and accurate fit of the metal sheets is possible.

FIG. 1b shows a plan view of the in FIG. 1a shown system, wherein only one side of the system is shown. The opposite side is mirror-symmetrical. In this plan view, it can be seen that the metal sheet 23 is taken over or held by the application mark 22. Below the metal sheet of the vacuum range 3.1 is provided. Between vacuum area and metal sheet is the suction belt 3. Below the suction belt 3 in the vacuum range 3.1 suction openings are provided. The negative pressure, which is formed by a vacuum generator, passes through these suction openings and the openings of the suction belt 3 up to the metal sheet and ensure a secure hold during transport. Up to over the area of the side registration marks 24, which are designed essentially as rollers, the corresponding metal sheet is fed to the suction belt 3 via the conveyor 9.

Gemäß der Figur 2 weist die Saugriemen-Vorderkantenanschlagvorrichtung 101 ein Maschinengestell 102 auf , an dem ein Saugriemen-Vorderkantenanschlagtrum 103 und ein Tafelzuführtrum 104 angeordnet sind. Das Tafelzuführtrum 104 besteht vorzugsweise jeweils aus mehreren mit Abstand zueinander liegenden, umlaufenden Riemen, so dass sie sich über die Breite von zu manipulierenden Blechtafeln 122 erstrecken.According to the FIG. 2 For example, the suction belt leading edge stop device 101 comprises a machine frame 102 on which a suction belt leading edge abutment trench 103 and a sheet feeding strand 104 are disposed. The sheet feed runner 104 is preferably each comprised of a plurality of spaced apart circulating belts so as to extend across the width of sheet metal plates 122 to be manipulated.

Die Figur 2 zeigt femer ein Walzwerk 105 einer Blech-Lackiermaschine. Das Walzlackwerk 105 weist einen Lackierzylinder 106 und einen Gegendruckzylinder 107 auf. Die Anordnung ist derart getroffen , dass die Vorderkantenanschlagvorrichtung 101 auf ihrer Transportebene 108 liegend transportierte Blechtafeln in die Spaltebene 109 zwischen Lackierzylinder 106 und Gegendruckzylinder 107 passgenau, das heißt korrekt ausgerichtet führt, so dass ein passergenaues Lackieren im Walzwerk 105 erfolgt.The FIG. 2 further shows a rolling mill 105 a Sheet metal varnishing. The roller coating unit 105 has a painting cylinder 106 and an impression cylinder 107. The arrangement is such that the leading edge stop device 101 on its transport plane 108 horizontally transported metal sheets in the gap plane 109 between Lackierzylinder 106 and counter-pressure cylinder 107 accurately, that is correctly aligned, so that a register-accurate painting in the rolling mill 105 takes place.

Das Tafelzuführtrum 104 ist über ein erstes Umlenkrad 110 und über ein zweites Umlenkrad 111 geführt. Das Saugriemen-Vorderkantenanschlagtrum 103 weist zwei Umlenkräder 112 und 113 auf und ist ferner um eine Antriebswelle 123 herumgeführt. Die hinlaufenden Trums des Saugriemen-Vorderkantenanschlagtrums 103 liegen in der Transportebene 108. Die rücklaufenden Trums 116 und 117 liegen unterhalb derTransportebene 108. Unterhalb des Saugriemen-Vorderanschlagtrums 103 ist ein Vakuumbereich 120 oder- sofern das gesamte System über magnetische Anziehungskräfte arbeiten soll - ein Magnetfeldbereich angeordnet.The Tafelzuführtrum 104 is guided over a first guide wheel 110 and a second guide wheel 111. The suction belt leading edge abutment 103 has two pulleys 112 and 113 and is further guided around a drive shaft 123. The leading strands of the suction belt leading edge stop run 103 lie in the transport plane 108. The return runs 116 and 117 are below the transport plane 108. Below the suction belt front stop run 103 is a vacuum region 120 or, if the entire system is to operate via magnetic attraction forces, a magnetic field region ,

Gleichmäßig voneinander beabstandet sind am Saugriemen-Vorderkantenanschlagtrums 103 Vorderkantenanschläge 118 befestigt. Die Konstruktion ist derart gestaltet, dass im Betrieb eines mittels nicht dargestellter Fördermittel von einem Blechtafelstapel abgehobene und mittels einer Fördereinrichtung zugeführte Blechtafel 122 über das Tafelzuführtrum 104, mit ihrer Vorderkante gegen die Vofderkantenanschläge 118 auftrifft.Evenly spaced from each other, front edge stops 118 are attached to the suction belt leading edge abutment 103. The construction is designed in such a way that during operation of a metal sheet 122 lifted off a sheet metal stack by means of a conveyor not shown and supplied by means of a conveyor strikes the sheet feed channel 104, with its front edge against the edge edges 118.

Die Aufnahme auf die Vorderkantenanschläge erfolgt so vorsichtig, dass Kantenbeschädigungen vermieden werden.The recording on the front edge stops is done so carefully that edge damage is avoided.

Die Tafel wird entlang der Transportebene 108 in Transportrichtung 119 solange geführt, bis die Vorderkante der Blechtafel gegen die Anlegemarke 115 der Anlegetrommel 114 trifft. Erst jetzt verlassen die Vorderkantenanschläge 118 die Vorderkante der Blechtafel. Durch das zeitgleich entstehende Vakuum Im Vakuumbereich bzw. Magnetfeldbereich 120 im Magnetfeld und die zugleich entstehende Geschwindigkeitsdifferenz zwischen Blechtafel und Greifersystem wird die Tafelvorderkante gegen das Greifersystem bzw. Anlegemarken 115 permanent geschoben, so dass eine hochpräzise Übergabe an die Anlegetrommel 114 erfolgt. Der Saugriemen 103 ermöglicht auch nach dem Verlassen der Anlegetrommel einen präzisen Weitertransport. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass von der Anlegetrommel 114 aus nunmehr mittels weiterer, nicht dargestellter Transportmittel die präzise ausgerichtete Blechtafel in den Spalt zwischen dem Lakkierzylinder 106 und Gegendruckzylinder 107 exakt lagedefiniert eingeführt wird. Aufgrund der durchgängigen Tafelführung ist ein reproduzierbares, passgenaues Anlegen der Blechtafel möglich.The panel is guided along the transport plane 108 in the transport direction 119 until the front edge of the metal sheet meets the application mark 115 of the feed drum 114. Only now do the leading edge stops 118 leave the leading edge of the metal sheet. Due to the vacuum created at the same time in the vacuum region or magnetic field region 120 in the magnetic field and the simultaneously occurring speed difference between metal sheet and gripper system, the board leading edge is permanently pushed against the gripper system or application marks 115 so that a high-precision transfer to the application drum 114 takes place. The suction belt 103 allows a precise further transport even after leaving the feed drum. This makes it possible that from the feed drum 114 from now, by means of further, not shown transport the precisely aligned metal sheet in the gap between the Lakkierzylinder 106 and counter-pressure cylinder 107 is introduced exactly defined position. Due to the continuous panel guide a reproducible, accurate fit of the metal sheet is possible.

Figur 2b zeigt die Draufsicht auf das Transportsystem gemäß Figur 2a. Die gestrichelt dargestellte Blechtafel 122 befindet sich bereits in der Anlegemarke 115 und wird dort durch die Anlegetrommel 114 geführt. Durch die Geschwindigkeitsdifferenz zwischen der Anlegetrommel 114 bzw. der Anlegemarke 115 und dem Saugriemen im Bereich des Forderkantenanschlagtrums 103 bewegt sich der Vorderkantenanschlag 118 von der Blechtafel weg. Vor der Anlegetrommel ist unterhalb des Saugriemens ein Vakuumbereich 120 vorgesehen, der das Vakuum zum Anziehen der Blechtafel erzeugt. Selbstverständlich kann hier anstelle eines Vakuumbereichs auch ein Magnetfeldbereich angeordnet sein in diesem Fall ist es nicht erforderlich den Saugriemen mit Löchern, wie abgebildet, zu versehen. Die Fördereinrichtung 104 liegt seitlich versetzt neben dem Saugriemen und bewirkt einen Transport der jeweiligen Blechtafel bis in den Saugriemenbereich hinein. Die seitliche Ausrichtung der Blechtafeln erfolgt vor dem Vakuumbereich seitlich durch entsprechenden Seitenführungsrollen, wobei hier eine Rolle 124 dargestellt ist. FIG. 2b shows the top view of the transport system according to FIG. 2a , The dashed sheet metal plate 122 is already in the application mark 115 and is guided there by the feed drum 114. Due to the speed difference between the feed drum 114 and the application mark 115 and the suction belt in the region of the Forderkantenanschlagtrums 103, the leading edge stop 118 moves away from the metal sheet. Before the feed drum, a vacuum region 120 is provided below the suction belt, which generates the vacuum for tightening the metal sheet. Of course, instead of a vacuum region, a magnetic field region may also be arranged in this case, it is not necessary to provide the suction belt with holes, as shown. The conveyor 104 is laterally offset next to the suction belt and causes a transport of the respective metal sheet into the suction belt area inside. The lateral alignment of the metal sheets takes place before the vacuum area laterally through corresponding side guide rollers, in which case a roller 124 is shown.
