Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device according to the preambles of the corresponding independent claims.
  • Method and device are used for processing of printed products, while these are supported on substantially aligned transversely to the conveying direction saddle-shaped pads lying substantially continuously.
  • the axial length of the saddle-shaped pads and the saddle lines is several times longer than the length of the fold lines of the printed products to be created and these are displaced on the supports, such that each resulting printed product is moved in a spiral path several times around the drum axis and at each of these revolutions usually passes in the region of the upper zenith of the drum at a feed location where another sheet or another Sub-product is placed on the already resting on the saddle-shaped overlay sheets or partial products.
  • Linear collecting devices are also known in which the saddle-shaped supports, which in turn are arranged essentially transversely to the conveying direction, are conveyed more or less straightly past successively arranged feed points such that the resulting products do not have to be displaced along the saddle lines.
  • each saddle-shaped support is equipped with a tool and a counter tool and promoted together with them, wherein tool and / or counter tool during this promotion by appropriate control means for processing at a designated location of the conveyor track in a relatively predetermined machining position (distal tool ends in Saddle-line portion of saddle-shaped pads), activated for machining, and held in the machining position during conveyance through a machining area.
  • a relatively predetermined machining position distal tool ends in Saddle-line portion of saddle-shaped pads
  • the tools in smaller numbers on the orbit of the saddle-shaped pads limited independent, shorter orbits circumferentially and the counter tools with either the saddle-shaped pads (eg described in EP-0546326 , F319, or EP-0606555 , F350) or with the tools (eg described in EP-1245406 , Grapha) to connect.
  • the path of the tools and the path of the saddle-shaped supports in the processing area are adapted to one another in such a way that undesirable relative movements do not arise between the tool and the counter-tool or between the tools and the saddle-shaped support.
  • the orbits of the tools, the counter tools and the saddle-shaped pads thus extend at least through the processing area with constant distance from each other and with the same directions, with tools, counter tools and saddle-shaped pads are aligned during the promotion by the processing area, ie synchronized promoted.
  • Particularly advantageous since it is easy to implement in terms of apparatus, is a circular orbit for the tools with as few tools as possible (possibly with counter tools), ie the smallest possible radius.
  • the orbit of the saddle-shaped pads (possibly with counter tools) is then at least in the processing area as a circular arc with the same center and also relatively small radius to order.
  • document EP-A-1588971 discloses a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus according to the preamble of claim 8.
  • the object of the invention to provide a method and a device for processing printed products between tool and counter tool during their promotion saddle-shaped pads, with the inventive device, the above-mentioned disadvantages of known such methods and devices, the same purpose serve, should be avoided.
  • the device according to the invention should therefore in particular make it possible for the path of the saddle-shaped supports also to be freely selectable in machining areas and remains largely independent of the processing that nevertheless the saddle-shaped pads need not be equipped with tools or with counter tools and that nevertheless can be ensured in a simple manner that the printed products to be processed are not deformed or damaged by unwanted relative movements.
  • Method and device according to the invention are based on the idea to contrast the printed products for processing with the help of the counter tools from the saddle line of the saddle-shaped pads. That is, according to the invention, the task of carrying and guiding the printed products, which task is performed during processing without processing (and also during processing by known methods) only by the saddle-shaped pads, at least partially taken over by the counter tools in the processing area.
  • the printed products as in known devices which serve the same purpose, are conveyed on the saddle-shaped supports in the processing region and also conveyed away from the processing region in the same manner.
  • the distal ends of the counter tools moving in the processing area through the saddle-shaped supports take over the carrying and guiding of the printed products to be processed so far that a relative movement between the saddle-shaped support and the associated counter tool can neither deform nor damage the printed product.
  • the orbit of the saddle-shaped pads and the orbit of the counter tools in the processing area no longer have the same directions and a constant distance from each other and become significantly more independent of each other.
  • the orbit of the counter tools is advantageously a circular path whose center lies below the orbit of the saddle-shaped pads and which may have a relatively small radius.
  • the primary circular movement of the counter tools may be superimposed by a secondary movement, by means of which the counter tools for processing are brought into a machining position.
  • the orbit of the saddle-shaped pads runs, for example, straight or curved around the processing area by a large radius of curvature, with the path of the saddle lines and the path of the distal ends of the counter tools intersecting so that the latter runs above the former in the machining area, before and after the machining area but underneath. Apart from this self-cruising, the trajectories of counter tools and saddle-shaped pads are independent.
  • the saddle-shaped pads are, as already mentioned above, to be provided with openings or recesses in the saddle line, said openings or recesses must be large enough not only to the passage of the distal ends of the counter tools (relative movement between the counter tool and support transversely to Conveying direction) but optionally also to allow a relative movement between counter tool and support parallel to the conveying direction.
  • the cooperation of tool and counter tool runs in process and device according to the invention advantageously in a conventional manner from.
  • the tools also run on a circular path, wherein the center of this circular path runs over the path of the saddle-shaped supports and wherein the number of rotating tools can be the same size as the number of rotating counter-tools or different.
  • the primary circular movement of the tools to superimpose a secondary movement such that they remain aligned during their promotion by the processing area in a predetermined manner to the counter-tools.
  • Such tools are described for example in the publication EP-0606555 (F350).
  • the method and the device according to the invention are particularly suitable for stapling printed products produced by collecting folded printed sheets or for measuring the thickness of such printed products. It is also conceivable to press and apply ultrasound or heat to activate an adhesive applied in the fold lines of the overlapping sheets.
  • FIG. 1 shows the device from the side, so with a line of sight substantially parallel to the saddle lines 1.1 of the saddle-shaped pads 1, FIG. 2 as a top view, ie with a line of sight from above on the saddle lines 1.1 of the saddle-shaped pads.
  • the orbits U.1 and U.2 intersect at the entrance of the processing area B and at the exit of the processing area B, the orbit U.2 running in the processing area B over the orbit U.1.
  • the distal ends of the counter tools move through openings 4 of the supports, which are arranged in the region of the saddle line.
  • the saddle-shaped pads 1 are arranged, for example, at regular intervals on a conveyor chain (not shown) and have on both sides of the saddle line 1.1 sloping leg. In the in the Figures 1 and 2 In the illustrated embodiment, they are freely pivotable relative to the conveyor chain about a pivot axis extending in the region of the saddle line 1.1 and parallel thereto or coinciding therewith, and are pivoted by the counter tools 2. In this way it is possible to introduce the counter tools 2 essentially from below into the supports without the distal ends 2.1 of the counter tools 2 having to deviate from their circular orbit (no secondary movement superimposed on the primary circular movement).
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show a second, preferred embodiment of the method and the device according to the invention.
  • the representation is the same as in the Figures 1 and 2 and like elements are designated by like reference numerals.
  • the pads 1 of the present embodiment have a relative to the orbit U.1 constant orientation, so are not pivotable.
  • the distal ends 2.1 of the counter tools 2, whose orbit is again circular can only be inserted from below into the supports 1, when the circular movement is superimposed by a secondary movement.
  • this secondary movement is directed parallel to the circular axis K, wherein the distal ends 2.1 of the counter tools 2 are moved at the entrance to the processing area B in the area of the pads 1 and at the output of the processing area B again away from the pads, as shown in FIG.
  • the distal ends of the counter tools are introduced by other movements in the pads 2, for example by a radial movement or a radial extension of the counter tools and / or by a controlled change in the position of the counter tools or the distal End portions of the counter tools against their orbit. Also mixed forms between such methods and facilities and in the FIGS. 1 to 4 illustrated methods and facilities are conceivable.
  • FIG. 5 shows an exemplary embodiment of the inventive device, which after the in the Figures 1 and 2 illustrated principle works (with swivel pads 1, which are pivoted by the counter tools 2).
  • the tools 3 also shown in this figure also run on a circular orbit, wherein the trajectory of the distal tool ends 3.1 in the machining area by changing the tool position relative to the orbit (in particular visible on 3 'tool in an intermediate position) and by a radial tool movement is adjusted against the interior of the orbit to the movement of the counter-tools 2.
  • the resulting orbit U.3 of the distal tool ends 3.1 is such that there is no relative movement between the distal ends of the two tools during machining.
  • FIG. 6 shows very schematically a linear collecting device 10, in which folded sheets or partial products are placed at successive feed points 11 and 11 on saddle-shaped supports 1, whereby printed products are formed, which consist for example of a plurality of interfolded sheets.
  • the pads 1 are attached, for example, at regular intervals on a conveyor chain.
  • the collected products are conveyed by the same supports 1 further through two successive processing areas B and B ', which are equipped according to the invention.
  • the first processing is for example a thickness measurement
  • the second processing processing area B '
  • a discharge point is arranged at which printed products which do not have the predetermined thickness, ie which comprise too few or too many sheets, are discharged (arrows A and A ').
  • the saddle-shaped pads are conveyed at regular intervals, that is, they are arranged for example at regular intervals on a conveyor chain.
  • the pads can also be flexibly connected to a chain and thereby have different distances from each other or they can be promoted from each other completely independent, for example, guided in a rail.
  • independent requirements for synchronization with counter rotating tools and tools circulating at regular intervals are to be entered in front of the processing area, but may be buffered before and / or after, for example.
