Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of conveyor technology and relates to a method and a device for transporting and possibly processing flexible flat products, in particular printed products, according to the features of the preamble of claim 1 and the features of the preamble of claim 10.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device and a method with which the transport and any processing of flat flexible products can be carried out in a cost-effective and flexible manner.
  • the flexible flat products to be transported, in particular printed products are also conveyed away from the same gripper transporter to a workstation and away from this workstation, with the aid of a control device each having a logical association between flexible planar Products and grippers of gripping transporter takes place.
  • the workstation is inserted as required in the transport or removable from it. In this way, the investment and maintenance costs can be reduced to a single Greiftransporteur and make the work process more flexible.
  • the flexible sheet-like products can be gripped by the grippers of the conveyor on the flower or at the fold.
  • the gripper is synchronously carried along with the flexible sheet product during processing of the flexible sheet product, wherein the control of Gripper (14), in particular a control link for the gripper in the field of processing, is variably adjustable so that the gripper can be opened for the processing of flexible sheet-like products or can remain closed. Closed grippers are very useful especially if, for example, as printed products several tabloid folded sheets are inserted into which inserts, for example by stitching or gluing together.
  • control device is also able to control the method so that by the logical assignment of grippers and flexible sheet products to each other, a gripper that has promoted a flexible sheet product to a workstation out, another flexible sheet product from the workstation promotes away. In this way, speed differences can be mastered.
  • the flexible sheet products are supported for machining by a support member.
  • the products are either deposited with the fold from above on the support elements or the support elements are inserted between the products and support the flexible sheet products at her down-facing fold.

  • the working distance can be made very flexible and it is possible without great effort to skip or add operations.
  • the work station comprises preferably a cover. In the event that the corresponding step is omitted, so problems in conveying the flexible sheet products across the workstation away can be avoided.
  • FIGS. 1 to 8 Examples shown relate to the transport of typically folded in Tabloidform sheets that are individually or superimposed several superimposed by a Greiftransporteurs 12 transported and regardless of their number of sheets / layers for the sake of simplicity as printed product 16 are referred to. It is understood that other flexible sheet products 16 can be transported and processed in this way.
