Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for aligning sheets according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device and a method for aligning sheets is known.
  • the orientation of the leading edge of the sheet is effected in such a way that the scale-like fed to the device sheet are fed at a conveying speed to an alignment in the device, which is at least slightly greater than the peripheral speed of the alignment.
  • At the periphery of the alignment cylinder front marks are arranged, at which the leading edge of the sheet can be brought to bear. Due to the relative speeds between the sheet and leading marks, the leading edge of the sheets is at least slightly slowed down at the leading brands, thereby aligning the leading edge of the sheet.
  • the sheet After the alignment of the leading edge of the sheet, the sheet is fixed in the region of the front edge by applying a negative pressure to a suction strip, so that the sheet wraps around the alignment cylinder on the circumference due to the continuous rotational drive of the alignment cylinder.
  • the lateral offset of a side edge of the sheet is measured by means of a measuring device.
  • the squeegee on which the leading edge of the sheet is fixed is axially displaced axially in the direction of the axis of rotation of the alignment cylinder to thereby align the side edge of the sheet in accordance with the desired target orientation.
  • a device for sheet feeding for a sheet-fed rotary printing press in which the sheets are scaled on a feed table to the device out and away from the device.
  • suction rolls To promote the sheet resting on the feed table the use of suction rolls is described, on the entire circumference recesses are provided.
  • the suction roll is arranged in such a way in a recess of the feed table, that the sheet surface on the feed table resting and tangentially on the periphery of the suction roll are driven adjacent fitting. This ensures that the sheets come into contact with the suction roll only in a linear contact area, wherein the driving forces are transmitted from the suction roll in the linear contact area frictionally engaged on the sheet. A wrap of the suction rolls through the arc is thus not required.
  • a device with a suction drum on whose circumference the sheets to be transported are frictionally fixable by applying a negative pressure.
  • the drive of the suction drum is designed such that the speed and / or the angle of rotation of the suction drum can be controlled by an independent electric motor according to predetermined laws of motion.
  • a sheet feeder for printing machines is known in which the lateral offset of a side edge of the sheet is detectable relative to a desired orientation with a measuring device.
  • To align the side edge of the sheet can be adjusted axially in the direction of its axis of rotation depending on the measurement result, an alignment, on the circumference of the sheet is fixed.
  • a device for measuring the position of the side edge of a sheet is known.
  • This measuring device consists essentially of 2 measuring heads, which are used to measure the position of the side edge with at the periphery of a Conveying roller arranged query gaps interact.
  • the measuring heads are mounted by hand on a traverse arranged above the sheet conveying plane.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device for aligning sheets.
  • the sheets can be aligned during the promotion by the alignment cylinder at the same time with respect to its front edge, as well as with respect to a side edge.
  • the orientation of the sheet with respect to its side edge can be advantageously achieved in that the alignment cylinder is adjusted axially in the direction of its axis of rotation after the alignment of the leading edge to the front marks.
  • the drive motor can be controlled or regulated for the rotational drive of the alignment cylinder as a function of predetermined laws of motion, in particular as a function of the angle of rotation. This makes it possible by variation of the rotational speed of the alignment during a cycle and bow of different lengths to take correct position at the front and accurately pass to downstream sheet transport facilities.
  • Fig. 1 shows a device 02 for aligning sheet 01 in cross-section.
  • Such devices are used to align scaly from a scarfing device, not shown fed sheet in the correct position, so that the sheet, for example, exactly aligned z. B. can be passed to a downstream sheet-fed press.
  • the sheets 01 are fed to the device 02 lying one behind the other in such a way that in each case the front edge 07 of the respective rear sheet 01 comes to rest under the respective sheet 01 lying in front of it.
  • the device 02 serves in particular to align the flake-fed sheet 01 during transport in the device 02 with respect to the front edge 07 and with respect to a side edge in the correct position, so that the sheet 01 after leaving the device 02 a downstream device 03,
  • a transfer cylinder 03 a sheetfed press can be fed in the correct position.
  • To align the sheet 01 in the device 02 is an alignment cylinder 04, which is essentially composed of a drive shaft 05 and spaced thereon arranged suction rollers 06. (see Fig. 4).
  • the alignment cylinder 04 has a diameter of 140 mm to 150 mm, in particular a diameter of about 144 mm.
  • the function of the device 02 when aligning the leading edge 07 of the sheet 01 is shown in particular in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • Fig. 2 the upper part of the trained in the manner of a suction roller 06 alignment cylinder 04 is shown.
  • a front mark is on the circumference of the alignment cylinder 04 08 attached to the front side, the leading edge 07 of the sheet 01 can come to rest to align the leading edge 07 of the sheet 01.
  • the alignment cylinder 04 is driven at a peripheral speed which is at least slightly smaller than the conveying speed of the sheet 01 on a feed table 09.
  • the sheets 01 are fed to the device 02 in synchronism with the movement of the front mark 08, so that in each case a front edge 07 in the Contact area of the front brand 08 can get.
  • the leading edge 07 runs on the leading edge 08 and can thereby be aligned continuously during the contact phase between leading edge 07 and leading edge 08. It has proven to be favorable when the peripheral speed of the alignment 04 at least temporarily during contact between the leading edge 08 and leading edge 07 of the sheet 01 about 0.7 times to 0.9 times, in particular 0.8 times the Conveying speed of the scaly sheet 01 immediately before contact between the leading edge 08 and leading edge 07 of the arc corresponds. "Immediately before contact " means "first contact”. The alignment cylinder 04 makes it per conveyed sheet 01 a revolution.

  • the sheet hold-down roller 11 is driven by a corresponding gear arrangement with a ratio of 1: 1 of the alignment cylinder 04, so that alignment cylinder 04 and sheet hold-down roller 11 synchronously move each other.
  • the outer diameter of the sheet hold-down roller 11 is formed spirally, wherein the largest radius of the sheet hold-down roller 11 is arranged approximately in the region of the recess 12 for the front mark 08. It is thereby achieved that the gap between sheet hold-down roller 11 and alignment cylinder 04 is minimized during the alignment phase of the leading edge 07, respectively. During the further circulation of the sheet hold-down roller 11, the gap is subsequently enlarged again so as not to hinder the conveyance of the sheets 01.
  • the stabilization of the sheet 01 during alignment with the front mark 08 is a hold-down plate 13 that is disposed in the inlet region 14.
  • the feed table 09 and / or the hold-down roller 11 and / or the hold-down plate 13 can be adjustably mounted in height relative to the alignment cylinder 04.
  • the distance between the tangent plane 16, measured when passing through the maximum radius of the sheet hold-down roller 11, should have a distance of about 0.8 mm to the top 17 to feed table 09.
  • the alignment cylinder 04 is arranged in the manner below the feed table 09 that the sheet 01 come to rest substantially tangentially on the circumference of the alignment cylinder 04. Deviating from an ideal tangential arrangement of the alignment cylinder 04, however, slightly shifted upward, so that the tangent plane 19 extends to the alignment cylinder 04 with a slight distance, for example, 0.5 mm, above the top 17 of the feed table 09. This achieves, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, that a sheet 01 is slightly raised in the area of contact with the delivery cylinder 04, so that an optimal abutment of the sheet 01 on the circumference of the alignment cylinder 04 is possible and the drive forces are frictionally engaged in a sufficiently large contact surface are transferable.
