Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for folding flat workpieces.
- a device for folding flat workpieces is for example off DE 197 47 997 A1 known.
- the Taschenfalz worn typically comprises three operationally continuously rotating rollers forming a pair of transport rollers and a Falzwalzencru and this are usually arranged axially parallel under horizontal alignment and have a common transport roller pair and the Falzwalzencru roller, which forms a transport nip with a transport roller and a folding gap with a folding roller.
- the three rolls a folding pocket with a pocket mouth and an adjustable pocket stop is assigned such that a transport gap passing flat workpiece - usually a previously printed sheet - runs through the pocket mouth in the folding pocket and impinges with the leading edge of the workpiece on the pocket stop.
- Adjusting means provided in the form of a servomotor, by means of which the pocket stop is adjustable by changing its distance from the pocket mouth.
- the not belonging to the pair of transport rollers roller of the folding roller pair of the known device is deflected by the passing of the folding gap signatures.
- Corresponding deflections are detected by means of a sensor whose signals are combined in a control unit with measured values for the conveyed arc length between the inlet of the sheet in the device and the fold, so that in incorrect position of the fold break with respect to, for example, the leading edges of the arc control unit in turn the mentioned servomotor to adjust the pocket stop in terms of a correction of the position of the fold breakage.
- Known folding pocket has a pocket stop, which in addition to adjusting its distance from the pocket mouth is rotatable about a point which lies in the longitudinal center of the pocket stop.
- a pocket folding machine which has adjustable stops.
- a folding sheet striking the stop strip of the folding machine is registered in its position by sensors and its signals are forwarded to the control computer of the folding machine.
- the control computer forms an average value of the deviation from the predetermined reference fold line. In case of deviations, this mean value is compensated by the control computer and two stepper motors are actuated for adjusting the stop bar in the folding machine.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device for folding flat workpieces in such a way that in addition to retrofitting when changing the format of the workpieces required setup work by an operator can be dispensed with in the event that the workpieces are not exactly trimmed orthogonal.

- the delay time depends on the orientation of said leading edge of the workpieces and the orientation of the pocket stop. With matching orientation of the anticipatory Edge and the pocket stop results in a minimum of the delay time. In this case, theoretically all points along the leading edge meet simultaneously on the pocket stop (in this case, it is assumed that the pocket stop has a closed stop face). Regardless of the orientation of the leading edge and the pocket stop results in each impact of this edge on the pocket stop a noise, among other things depending on the above orientations varying sound pressure levels. However, in the case of a minimum delay time, the occurring sound pressure level always assumes a maximum value.
- the sound pressure although different workpieces result in different measured values for a respective maximum value when hitting different pocket stops with different speeds, is a particularly suitable measurement variable in order to generate the signals of the occurrence of the respective leading edge on the pocket stop by means of a sensor system.
- the sensor provided for this purpose only requires a sound pressure sensor.

- the controller compares successive signals that characterize the process of the impact of each leading edge of successive workpieces on the pocket stop in the case of generating these signals by means of a sound pressure sensor comprehensive sensor with regard to the height of the successive impact of the workpieces on the
- it causes the actuating means, after the start of an actuating movement thereof and an optionally reversed direction of the actuating movement to standstill, if the comparison of said signals shows that the sound pressure level is at a level which is at least almost one order-specific maximum.
- the controller is also able to store a nominal value signal representing the named level of the sound pressure level together with order-specific data (format, basis weight and the like of the workpieces) for similar follow-up orders.

- the adjusting means are controlled in dependence on the respective result of the comparison in the sense of an approximation of the spectra supplied by the sensor to the respective stored order-specific nominal value spectrum. This may in turn give rise to a reversal of an initially initiated adjusting movement of the actuating means.

- events include not only the creation of noise but also Movements and elastic deformations of the pocket stop. However, these movements as well as elastic deformations of the pocket stop are not part of the present invention.
- the extension of the time window for the delay time within which the leading edge of the respective workpiece momentarily comes to a halt when hitting the pocket stop approaches the more zero the more precisely the orientation of the stop surface of the pocket stop that of the leading edge corresponds to the respective workpieces.
- the conformity of the orientation of the stop surface of the pocket stop with that of each leading edge of the workpieces are in the case of taken with a view to the symmetry measures the movement processes and changes in shape of the pocket stop as a result of the impact of the workpieces on this symmetrical to the longitudinal center of the pocket stop.
- said sensor system comprises encoders for measured values of movement processes or elastic deformations of the pocket stop and generates corresponding signals which characterize the process of impingement of the respectively leading edge of the workpieces on the pocket stop, which signals are then evaluated by the controller and used to control the Adjusting means are used in the sense that they adjust the pocket stop to an orientation in which the measured values arise symmetrically at least substantially as the longitudinal center of the pocket stop.
- the sensors detect actual values of movement processes or changes in shape at locations symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal center of the pocket stop.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Falzen flacher Werkstücke. Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist beispielsweise aus
Der Abstand des Taschenanschlages vom Taschenmund ist maßgebend für die Lage des Falzbruches insbesondere bezüglich der genannten vorauseilenden Kante. Daher sind bei der genannten bekannten Vorrichtung Stellmittel in Form eines Stellmotors vorgesehen, mittels welchem der Taschenanschlag unter Veränderung seines Abstandes vom Taschenmund verstellbar ist.The distance of the pocket stop from the mouth of the pocket is decisive for the position of the fold break, in particular with regard to the aforementioned leading edge. Therefore, in the known device mentioned Adjusting means provided in the form of a servomotor, by means of which the pocket stop is adjustable by changing its distance from the pocket mouth.
Die nicht zum Transportwalzenpaar gehörige Walze des Falzwalzenpaares der bekannten Vorrichtung ist seitens der den Falzspalt passierenden Signaturen auslenkbar. Entsprechende Auslenkungen werden mittels einer Sensorik erfasst, deren Signale in einer Regeleinheit verknüpft werden mit Messwerten für die geförderte Bogenlänge zwischen dem Einlauf der Bogen in die Vorrichtung und der Falzbildung, sodass bei unkorrekter Lage des Falzbruches bezüglich beispielsweise der vorauseilenden Kanten der Bogen die Regeleinheit ihrerseits den genannten Stellmotor ansteuert, um den Taschenanschlag im Sinne einer Korrektur der Lage des Falzbruches zu verstellen.The not belonging to the pair of transport rollers roller of the folding roller pair of the known device is deflected by the passing of the folding gap signatures. Corresponding deflections are detected by means of a sensor whose signals are combined in a control unit with measured values for the conveyed arc length between the inlet of the sheet in the device and the fold, so that in incorrect position of the fold break with respect to, for example, the leading edges of the arc control unit in turn the mentioned servomotor to adjust the pocket stop in terms of a correction of the position of the fold breakage.
Eine aus
Diese Verstellmöglichkeit der Orientierung des Taschenanschlages ist vorgesehen für den Fall, dass die genannte vorauseilende Kante eines zu falzenden Bogens nicht exakt orthogonal zur Transportrichtung des Bogens verläuft. Zur Justierung des Taschenanschlages dieser bekannten Falztasche ist eine so genannte Referenzfahrt vorzusehen. Hierunter wird offensichtlich ein probeweiser Betrieb einer Taschenfalzeinrichtung verstanden, bei welchem ein erster Bogen gefalzt und vor der Falzung eines weiteren Bogens im Hinblick auf die Lage des Falzbruches vermessen und anhand des Messergebnisses der Taschenanschlag über Stellmittel in Form eines jeweiligen Spindeltriebes an einem jeweiligen Ende des Taschenanschlages und eines jeweiligen Schrittmotors zum Antrieb des jeweiligen Spindeltriebes verstellt und dieser Vorgang so lange wiederholt wird, bis eine Orientierung des Taschenanschlages vorliegt, die eine korrekte Lage des Falzbruches erbringt.This adjustment of the orientation of the pocket stop is provided in the event that said leading edge of a sheet to be folded is not exactly orthogonal to the transport direction of the sheet. To adjust the pocket stop this known folding pocket a so-called reference travel is provided. This is obviously understood a probeweiser operation of Taschenfalzeinrichtung in which a first sheet folded and measured before the folding of another sheet with respect to the position of the fold break and based on the measurement result of the pocket stop on adjusting means in the form of a respective spindle drive at a respective end of the pocket stop and one of each Stepper motor for driving the respective spindle drive adjusted and this process is repeated until there is an orientation of the pocket stop, which provides a correct position of the fold breakage.
Aus der
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Falzen flacher Werkstücke so auszugestalten, dass zusätzlich zur Umrüstung bei einem Wechsel des Formates der Werkstücke erforderliche Einrichtarbeiten seitens eines Bedieners für den Fall entbehrlich werden, dass die Werkstücke nicht exakt orthogonal beschnitten sind.The invention has for its object to provide a device for folding flat workpieces in such a way that in addition to retrofitting when changing the format of the workpieces required setup work by an operator can be dispensed with in the event that the workpieces are not exactly trimmed orthogonal.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst mit einer Vorrichtung zum Falzen flacher Werkstücke gemäß dem Anspruch 1.This object is achieved with a device for folding flat workpieces according to
Falls Signaturen hochwertiger Qualität im Hinblick auf Maßhaltigkeit erstellt werden sollen, ist die Steuerung bevorzugt derart ausgebildet, dass diese die Verzögerungszeit auf ein Minimum absenkt.If signatures of high quality are to be created with regard to dimensional accuracy, the control is preferably designed such that it reduces the delay time to a minimum.
Die Verzögerungszeit ist abhängig von der Orientierung der genannten vorauseilenden Kante der Werkstücke und der Orientierung des Taschenanschlages. Bei übereinstimmender Orientierung der vorauseilenden Kante und des Taschenanschlages ergibt sich ein Minimum der Verzögerungszeit. In diesem Falle treffen theoretisch alle Punkte entlang der vorauseilenden Kante gleichzeitig auf den Taschenanschlag auf (hierbei ist unterstellt, dass der Taschenanschlag eine geschlossene Anschlagfläche aufweist). Unabhängig von der Orientierung der vorauseilenden Kante und des Taschenanschlages ergibt sich bei jedem Auftreffen dieser Kante auf den Taschenanschlag ein Geräusch, mit unter anderem in Abhängigkeit von den genannten Orientierungen variierenden Schalldruckpegeln. Für den Fall einer minimalen Verzögerungszeit nimmt der dabei auftretende Schalldruckpegel jedoch grundsätzlich einen Maximalwert an. Insofern ist der Schalldruck, obwohl unterschiedliche Werkstücke beim Auftreffen auf unterschiedliche Taschenanschläge mit unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten unterschiedliche Messwerte für einen jeweiligen Maximalwert ergeben, eine besonders geeignete Messgröße, um damit mittels einer Sensorik den Vorgang des Auftreffens der jeweils vorauseilenden Kante auf den Taschenanschlag charakterisierende Signale zu generieren. Die hierzu vorgesehene Sensorik benötigt lediglich einen Schalldrucksensor.The delay time depends on the orientation of said leading edge of the workpieces and the orientation of the pocket stop. With matching orientation of the anticipatory Edge and the pocket stop results in a minimum of the delay time. In this case, theoretically all points along the leading edge meet simultaneously on the pocket stop (in this case, it is assumed that the pocket stop has a closed stop face). Regardless of the orientation of the leading edge and the pocket stop results in each impact of this edge on the pocket stop a noise, among other things depending on the above orientations varying sound pressure levels. However, in the case of a minimum delay time, the occurring sound pressure level always assumes a maximum value. In this respect, the sound pressure, although different workpieces result in different measured values for a respective maximum value when hitting different pocket stops with different speeds, is a particularly suitable measurement variable in order to generate the signals of the occurrence of the respective leading edge on the pocket stop by means of a sensor system. The sensor provided for this purpose only requires a sound pressure sensor.
Für den Fall des Generierens von Signalen, die den Vorgang des Auftreffens der jeweils vorauseilenden Kante der Werkstücke auf den Taschenanschlag charakterisieren, mittels einer Schalldruckpegelmessung sind die Anforderungen an die die Stellmittel ansteuernde Steuerung insbesondere dann relativ gering, wenn als Soll-Wert der Verzögerungszeit ein Zeitfenster vorgesehen wird, dessen Erstreckung zumindest nahezu gleich Null ist. Da in diesem Falle der Messwert des von der Sensorik erfassten Schalldruckpegels wie dargelegt im Wesentlichen ein Maximum erreicht, benötigt die Steuerung nämlich keinen darin hinterlegten - von einer Mehrzahl von Parametern abhängigen - Soll-Wert und sie ist hierbei lediglich dazu ausgelegt, unter Auswertung der mittels der Sensorik generierten, Schalldruckpegeln entsprechenden Signale die Stellmittel derart anzusteuern, dass sich unter Angleichung der Orientierung des Taschenanschlags an jene der jeweils vorauseilenden Kante der Werkstücke letztlich zumindest nahezu ein Maximalwert des beim Auftreffen der Werkstücke auf den Taschenanschlag auftretenden Schalldruckpegels ergibt. Insbesondere ist die Steuerung so ausgelegt, dass eine mittels dieser eingeleitete Verstellbewegung der Stellmittel beibehalten wird, wenn eine Erhöhung des Schalldruckpegels damit einhergeht. Andernfalls bewirkt die Steuerung eine Umkehr einer eingeleiteten Verstellbewegung.In the case of generating signals that characterize the process of impingement of each leading edge of the workpieces on the pocket stop, by means of a sound pressure level measurement, the requirements for the control means controlling the control means, in particular, are relatively low, if as the target value of the delay time is a time window is provided, the extent of which is at least almost equal to zero. Since, in this case, the measured value of the sound pressure level detected by the sensor substantially reaches a maximum, the control does not require any stored therein - depending on a plurality of parameters - target value and it is here only designed to evaluate the means of the sensor generated sound pressure levels corresponding signals to control the actuating means such that, while approximating the orientation of the pocket stop to those of each leading edge of the workpieces ultimately at least almost a maximum value of the impact of the workpieces occurring on the pocket stop sound pressure level results. In particular, the controller is designed so that an adjustment movement of the adjusting means initiated by the latter is maintained when an increase in the sound pressure level is associated therewith. Otherwise, the control causes a reversal of an initiated adjustment movement.
Hierzu vergleicht die Steuerung aufeinander folgende Signale, die den Vorgang des Auftreffens der jeweils vorauseilenden Kante von aufeinander folgenden Werkstücken auf den Taschenanschlag charakterisieren im Falle der Generierung dieser Signale mittels der einen Schalldrucksensor umfassenden Sensorik im Hinblick auf die Höhe der vom Auftreffen aufeinander folgender Werkstücke auf den Taschenanschlag hervorgerufenen Schalldruckpegel und sie versetzt in einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung die Stellmittel, nach erfolgtem Start einer Stellbewegung derselben und einer gegebenenfalls erfolgten Richtungsumkehr der Stellbewegung in den Stillstand, wenn der Vergleich besagter Signale ergibt, dass sich der Schalldruckpegel auf einem Niveau befindet, welches zumindest nahezu einem auftragsspezifischen Maximum entspricht.For this purpose, the controller compares successive signals that characterize the process of the impact of each leading edge of successive workpieces on the pocket stop in the case of generating these signals by means of a sound pressure sensor comprehensive sensor with regard to the height of the successive impact of the workpieces on the In a preferred embodiment, it causes the actuating means, after the start of an actuating movement thereof and an optionally reversed direction of the actuating movement to standstill, if the comparison of said signals shows that the sound pressure level is at a level which is at least almost one order-specific maximum.
In bevorzugter Weiterbildung ist die Steuerung auch in der Lage, ein das genannte Niveau des Schalldruckpegels repräsentierendes Soll-Wert-Signal zusammen mit auftragsspezifischen Daten (Format, Flächengewicht und dergleichen der Werkstücke) für gleichartige Folgeaufträge abrufbar zu speichern.In a preferred development, the controller is also able to store a nominal value signal representing the named level of the sound pressure level together with order-specific data (format, basis weight and the like of the workpieces) for similar follow-up orders.
In einer abgewandelten Form der Steuerung sind empirisch ermittelte auftragsspezifische Soll-Wert-Signale von vornherein hinterlegt.In a modified form of the control, empirically determined order-specific nominal value signals are stored from the outset.
In alternativer Ausgestaltung generiert die Sensorik den Vorgang des Auftreffens der jeweils vorauseilenden Kante der Werkstücke auf den Taschenanschlag charakterisierende Signale aus Frequenzspektren der beim Auftreffen der Werkstücke auf den Taschenanschlag hervorgerufenen Geräusche und die Vorrichtung umfasst einen Frequenz-Analysator, welcher Ist-Wert-Spektren mit in der Steuerung hinterlegten Soll-Wert-Spektren vergleicht. Die Stellmittel werden in Abhängigkeit vom jeweiligen Ergebnis des Vergleiches im Sinne einer Angleichung der von der Sensorik gelieferten Spektren an das jeweilige hinterlegte auftragsspezifische Soll-Wert-Spektrum angesteuert. Hierbei kann es wiederum Anlass geben zu einer Umkehr einer zunächst eingeleiteten Stellbewegung der Stellmittel. Für diese Signalauswertung ist eine schnell arbeitende, digital arbeitende Steuerung vorgesehen, die in bevorzugter Ausgestaltung echtzeitfähig ist.In an alternative embodiment, the sensor generates the process of hitting the respective leading edge of the workpieces on the pocket stop characterizing signals from frequency spectra of the impact of the workpieces on the pocket stop caused sounds and the device includes a frequency analyzer, which actual value spectra with in compares the setpoint value spectra stored in the control. The adjusting means are controlled in dependence on the respective result of the comparison in the sense of an approximation of the spectra supplied by the sensor to the respective stored order-specific nominal value spectrum. This may in turn give rise to a reversal of an initially initiated adjusting movement of the actuating means. For this signal evaluation, a fast-working, digitally operating control is provided, which is real-time capable in a preferred embodiment.
Anstelle einer Ausgestaltung der Steuerung für die Hinterlegung von Soll-Wert-Spektren ist diese in abgewandelter Ausgestaltung selbstlernend und arbeitet eben so wie im Falle der zuvor erläuterten Generierung von Schalldruckpegeln entsprechenden Signalen nach dem Prinzip der Maximierung der Ist-Werte.Instead of an embodiment of the control for the deposit of desired value spectra this is self-learning in a modified embodiment and works just as in the case of the previously described generation of sound pressure levels corresponding signals on the principle of maximizing the actual values.
Bei den insoweit dargelegten Ausgestaltungen generiert die Sensorik den Vorgang des Auftreffens der jeweils vorauseilenden Kante der Werkstücke auf den Taschenanschlag charakterisierende Signale im Gegensatz zu einer später näher erläuterten Ausgestaltung aus Ereignissen, die durch den Kontakt der Werkstücke mit dem Taschenanschlag hervorgerufen werden. Zu diesen Ereignissen zählen neben der Entstehung von Geräuschen auch Bewegungsvorgänge und elastische Formänderungen des Taschenanschlages. Diese Bewegungsvorgänge sowie elastische Formänderungen des Taschenanschlages gehören jedoch nicht zu der gegenwärtigen Erfindung.In the embodiments set forth so far, the sensor generates the process of striking the respective leading edge of the workpieces on the pocket stop characterizing signals in contrast to a later explained in detail embodiment of events that are caused by the contact of the workpieces with the pocket stop. These events include not only the creation of noise but also Movements and elastic deformations of the pocket stop. However, these movements as well as elastic deformations of the pocket stop are not part of the present invention.
Bei einer bevorzugt längsmittensymmetrischen Anbindung des Taschenanschlages an die Vorrichtung und eine bezüglich der Verarbeitungsrichtung der Taschenfalzeinrichtung längsmittige Ausrichtung der Werkstücke unterschiedlicher Formate - wie dies für den Einlauf in eine erste Falztasche vorgesehen werden kann - lassen sich mittels einer entsprechend ausgelegten Sensorik auch aus den genannten Bewegungsvorgängen und Formänderungen ebenfalls den Vorgang des Auftreffens der jeweils vorauseilenden Kante der Werkstücke auf den Taschenanschlag charakterisierende Signale generieren, die sodann aufgrund der im Hinblick auf die Symmetrie getroffenen Maßnahmen mittels einer Steuerung relativ leicht auswertbar sind.In a preferred längsmittensymmetrischen connection of the pocket stop to the device and with respect to the processing direction of the Taschenfalzeinrichtung longitudinally alignment of the workpieces of different formats - as can be provided for the entry into a first folding pocket - can be by means of a suitably designed sensors also from the mentioned movement processes and Shape changes also generate the process of impingement of the respective leading edge of the workpieces on the pocket stop characterizing signals, which are then relatively easily evaluated by means of a control due to the measures taken in terms of symmetry.
Wie bereits angedeutet, nähert sich die Erstreckung des Zeitfensters für die Verzögerungszeit, innerhalb welcher die vorauseilende Kante des jeweiligen Werkstückes unter Auftreffen auf den Taschenanschlag vorübergehend zum Stillstand kommt, um so mehr dem Wert Null je genauer die Orientierung der Anschlagfläche des Taschenanschlages jener der vorauseilenden Kante der jeweiligen Werkstücke entspricht.As already indicated, the extension of the time window for the delay time within which the leading edge of the respective workpiece momentarily comes to a halt when hitting the pocket stop approaches the more zero the more precisely the orientation of the stop surface of the pocket stop that of the leading edge corresponds to the respective workpieces.
In dem mit der vorgeschlagenen Vorrichtung angestrebten Idealfall der Übereinstimmung der Orientierung der Anschlagfläche des Taschenanschlages mit jener der jeweils vorauseilenden Kante der Werkstücke sind im Falle der mit Blick auf die Symmetrie getroffenen Maßnahmen die Bewegungsvorgänge und die Formänderungen des Taschenanschlages infolge des Auftreffens der Werkstücke auf diesen symmetrisch zur Längsmitte des Taschenanschlages.In the ideal case of the proposed device, the conformity of the orientation of the stop surface of the pocket stop with that of each leading edge of the workpieces are in the case of taken with a view to the symmetry measures the movement processes and changes in shape of the pocket stop as a result of the impact of the workpieces on this symmetrical to the longitudinal center of the pocket stop.
Die genannte Sensorik umfasst insofern je nach Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung Geber für Messwerte von Bewegungsvorgängen oder elastischen Formänderungen des Taschenanschlages und generiert entsprechende, den Vorgang des Auftreffens der jeweils vorauseilenden Kante der Werkstücke auf den Taschenanschlag charakterisierende Signale, die sodann von der Steuerung ausgewertet und zur Ansteuerung der Stellmittel in dem Sinne genutzt werden, dass diese den Taschenanschlag auf eine Orientierung einjustieren, in der sich die Messwerte zumindest im Wesentlichen als zur Längsmitte des Taschenanschlages symmetrisch ergeben.Depending on the configuration of the device, said sensor system comprises encoders for measured values of movement processes or elastic deformations of the pocket stop and generates corresponding signals which characterize the process of impingement of the respectively leading edge of the workpieces on the pocket stop, which signals are then evaluated by the controller and used to control the Adjusting means are used in the sense that they adjust the pocket stop to an orientation in which the measured values arise symmetrically at least substantially as the longitudinal center of the pocket stop.
Die Sensorik erfasst hierzu je nach deren Ausstattung Ist-Werte von Bewegungsvorgängen oder Formänderungen an bezüglich der Längsmitte des Taschenanschlages symmetrischen Orten. Die Auswertung der Signale seitens der Steuerung erfolgt auf der Basis des Vergleiches der an den symmetrischen Orten gewonnenen Messwerte.Depending on their equipment, the sensors detect actual values of movement processes or changes in shape at locations symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal center of the pocket stop. The evaluation of the signals by the control takes place on the basis of the comparison of the measured values obtained at the symmetrical locations.
Die mittensymmetrische Ist-Wert-Erfassung ermöglicht es der Steuerung, den Stellmitteln von vorn herein eine Stellbewegung in die richtige Richtung einzuprägen. Die Steuerung setzt die Stellmittel still, wenn die Orientierung des Taschenanschlages den Vorgaben entspricht.The center-symmetric actual value detection enables the controller to memorize the setting means in the right direction from the outset. The controller stops the actuating means when the orientation of the pocket stop meets the specifications.
Bei einer alternativen Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung werden die den Vorgang des Auftreffens der jeweils vorauseilenden Kante der Werkstücke auf den Taschenanschlag charakterisierenden Signale bereits auf dem Weg der Werkstücke in Richtung auf den Taschenanschlag generiert. Hierzu ist die Sensorik ausgestattet mit Detektoren, mittels welcher die Orientierung einer jeweiligen auf den Taschenanschlag zu bewegten vorauseilenden Kante der Werkstücke charakterisierende Orientierungssignale generiert werden, und die Steuerung ist dazu ausgebildet, unter Auswertung dieser Orientierungssignale die Stellmittel im Sinne einer Angleichung der Orientierung des Taschenanschlages an jene der detektierten Kante der Werkstücke anzusteuern.In an alternative embodiment of the device, the signals characterizing the process of impingement of the respectively leading edge of the workpieces on the pocket stop are already generated on the way of the workpieces in the direction of the pocket stop. For this purpose, the sensor system is equipped with detectors, by means of which the orientation of a respective on the pocket stop to moving leading edge of the workpieces characterizing orientation signals are generated, and the controller is designed to evaluate these orientation signals the adjusting means in the sense of an alignment of the orientation of the pocket stop to those of the detected edge of the workpieces to control.
Die Orientierung dieser Kante charakterisierende Orientierungssignale ermöglichen es der Steuerung wiederum, den Stellmitteln von vorn herein eine Stellbewegung in die richtige Richtung einzuprägen und die Stellmittel still zu setzten, wenn die Orientierung des Taschenanschlages den Vorgaben entspricht.Orientation signals characterizing the orientation of this edge in turn allow the control to impart an actuating movement in the right direction to the adjusting means from the outset and to set the actuating means to a standstill when the orientation of the pocket stop meets the specifications.
