Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von aus einem Druckprodukt und einem Umschlag bestehenden Druckerzeugnissen, mit einer Verarbeitungsvorrichtung, in der die Druckprodukte und die Umschläge jeweils auf separaten Wegen zu deren Verbindung im Rückenbereich zusammengeführt werden.The invention relates to a process for the production of printed products consisting of a printed product and an envelope, with a processing device in which the printed products and the envelopes are each brought together on separate paths to their connection in the back region.

Durch die EP 1 199 187 A1 ist ein Verfahren der genannten Art sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens bekannt geworden. Mit diesem Verfahren bzw. dieser Vorrichtung ist eine individuelle Buchherstellung möglich. Die Verarbeitungsvorrichtung ist hier als Drehtisch ausgebildet und besitzt als Bearbeitungsstationen insbesondere eine Frässtation, eine Leimstation, eine Umschlaganpressstation sowie eine Auslagestation. Dem Drehtisch werden mittels einer Transportvorrichtung die Buchblöcke nacheinander zugeführt. An einer weiteren Station werden Umschläge zugeführt. Die Buchblöcke durchlaufen die Bearbeitungsstationen nacheinander, so dass schliesslich ein vollständiges Druckprodukt, insbesondere ein Buch, vorliegt.By the EP 1 199 187 A1 a method of the type mentioned and an apparatus for carrying out the method has become known. With this method or this device an individual book production is possible. The processing device is designed here as a turntable and has as processing stations in particular a milling station, a glue station, a Umschlaganpressstation and a delivery station. The turntable are fed by means of a transport device, the book blocks in succession. Envelopes are fed at another station. The book blocks pass through the processing stations in succession, so that finally there is a complete printed product, in particular a book.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welche eine höhere Produktionsleistung erlauben. Die Herstellung soll funktionssicher und flexibel sein.The invention is based on the object to provide a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned, which allow a higher production capacity. The production should be reliable and flexible.

Die Aufgabe ist bei einem gattungsgemässen Verfahren dadurch gelöst, dass wenigstens zwei Umschläge für nacheinander zugeführte Druckprodukte getrennt bereitgestellt und der Verarbeitungsvorrichtung zugeführt werden.The object is achieved in a generic method in that at least two envelopes for successively supplied printed products are provided separately and fed to the processing device.

Die Druckprodukte werden hierbei mit einer Digitaldruckmaschine hergestellt. Mit einer solchen Maschine können sequenziell beispielsweise Buchblöcke hergestellt werden. Es sind hier auch kleine Auflagen, bspw. von 100 Stück, möglich. Es können auch nacheinander unterschiedliche Druckprodukte, bspw. unterschiedliche Bücher in unterschiedlichen und auch vergleichsweise kleinen Auflagen, hergestellt werden. Nachteilig ist bei diesem Verfahren, bzw. dieser Anordnung, dass bei einem Wechsel von einem Druckprodukt zum anderen die Arbeitsvorrichtung angehalten werden muss.The printed products are produced with a digital printing machine. With such a machine, for example, book blocks can be produced sequentially. There are also small editions, for example. From 100 pieces, possible. It is also successively different printed products, for example. Different books in different and relatively small numbers, produced. A disadvantage of this method, or this arrangement that when switching from one print product to another, the working device must be stopped.

Mit dem erfindungsgemässen Verfahren können unterschiedliche Druckprodukte in einem ununterbrochenen Strom hergestellt werden. Bei einem Produktewechsel wird dieser von der Erkennungsstation festgestellt und entsprechend wird ein anderer Umschlag der Bearbeitungsvorrichtung zugeführt. Es werden jeweils zwei oder mehrere solche Umschläge bereitgestellt, so dass ohne Unterbruch hergestellt werden kann. Die Umschläge können übereinander gestapelt sein und können mit Vakuum abgezogen werden. Die Zuführung der Umschläge kann auch mit einem Trommelanleger erfolgen.
Alternativ können die Druckprodukte aufgrund einer an die Steuervorrichtung abgegebenen Produktinformation sowohl von den Druckprodukten als auch den Umschlägen verarbeitet werden. Für die Druckprodukte können Produkteinformationen von einer übergeordneten Steuerung oder einem vorausgegangen Prozess übertragen werden. Für die Umschläge können Produktinformationen durch manuelle oder automatische Eingabe in Steuerung erfolgen.With the method according to the invention, different printed products can be produced in one uninterrupted stream. When a product change this is detected by the recognition station and accordingly another envelope of the processing device is supplied. Two or more such envelopes are provided so that they can be produced without interruption. The envelopes can be stacked on top of each other and can be vacuum stripped become. The feeding of the envelopes can also be done with a drum feeder.
Alternatively, the printed products may be processed by both the printed products and the envelopes due to product information delivered to the controller. For the printed products, product information may be transmitted from a higher level controller or a previous process. For the envelopes, product information may be provided by manual or automatic input in the controller.

Die Druckprodukte, beispielsweise Buchblöcke oder gefalzte Bogen werden vorproduziert und von einem Lager der Verarbeitungsvorrichtung zugeführt.The printed products, for example book blocks or folded sheets, are pre-produced and fed from a warehouse to the processing apparatus.

Dies kann beispielsweise mit angetriebenen Bändern erfolgen, welche Mitnehmer aufweisen. Die Umschläge werden vorzugsweise hintereinander einzeln zugeführt.This can be done for example with driven belts, which have drivers. The envelopes are preferably fed one after the other individually.

Zum Erkennen der Druckprodukte resp. der Umschläge, sind diese gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung mit Identifikationsvermerken, bspw. einem Barcode, einem Transponder oder einer anderen geeigneten Vorrichtung versehen. Die Druckprodukte resp. die Umschläge können zur Identifikation mit einem geeigneten Sensor gemessen werden. Es können beispielsweise die Aussenmasse gemessen werden. Eine Identifikation ist aber beispielsweise auch über eine geeignete Bilderkennung möglich. Geeignete Kameras und Programme sind dem Fachmann bekannt.For recognizing the printed products resp. the envelopes, they are provided according to an embodiment of the invention with identification marks, eg. A bar code, a transponder or other suitable device. The printed products resp. the envelopes can be measured for identification with a suitable sensor. For example, the outside dimensions can be measured. However, an identification is also possible for example via a suitable image recognition. Suitable cameras and programs are known in the art.

Zur Erkennung bzw. zur Identifikation werden gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung die zugeführten Druckprodukte in der ersten Eingabestation verzögert. Grundsätzlich kann die Erkennung bzw. Identifikation der Druckprodukte vor der Eingabestation erfolgen.For detection or for identification according to a development of the invention, the supplied printed products in the delayed first input station. In principle, the detection or identification of the printed products can take place in front of the input station.

Die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass auf dem Weg der Zuführung in die Verarbeitungsvorrichtung eine Erkennungsstation angeordnet ist, mit der Druckprodukte resp. Umschläge aufgrund eines Steuercodes erfassbar sind, sowie einer Steuervorrichtung, die mit einer Erkennungsstation und einer Eingabestation verbunden ist.The inventive device is characterized in that on the way of feeding into the processing device, a recognition station is arranged, with the printed products resp. Envelopes are detectable due to a control code, and a control device which is connected to a recognition station and an input station.

Die Verarbeitungsvorrichtung weist vorteilhaft einen Drehtisch auf, auf dem die Druckprodukte, die vorgesehenen Bearbeitungsstationen durchlaufen. In einer dieser Stationen wird ein Umschlag mit einem Bogen oder einem Buchblock am Rücken verbunden. Zwischen der ersten Eingabestation und der zweiten Eingabestation können ein oder mehrere Bearbeitungsstationen zwischengeschaltet sein. Anstelle eines Drehtisches ist aber auch eine andere Anordnung, beispielsweise eine lineare Anordnung möglich.The processing device advantageously has a turntable on which the printed products pass through the intended processing stations. In one of these stations an envelope is connected to a bow or a book block on the back. Between the first input station and the second input station one or more processing stations can be interposed. Instead of a turntable but also another arrangement, for example, a linear arrangement is possible.

Die Bearbeitungsstationen können auch übereinander angeordnet sein.The processing stations can also be arranged one above the other.

Weitere vorteilhafte Merkmale ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen, der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie der Zeichnungen.Further advantageous features emerge from the dependent claims, the following description and the drawings.

Die Anordnung 1 besitzt eine Verarbeitungsvorrichtung 4, welcher mit einer ersten Eingabestation 5 nacheinander Druckprodukte 2, beispielsweise Falzbogen oder Buchblöcke 2 zugeführt werden. Der Transport der Druckprodukte 2 kann mit einer hier nicht gezeigten Transportvorrichtung erfolgen, beispielsweise mit einer Bandtransportvorrichtung. Die Druckprodukte 2 werden in einer hier nicht gezeigten an sich bekannten Digitaldruckmaschine vorzugsweise sequenziell hergestellt. Mit einer zweiten Eingabestation 6 werden der Verarbeitungsvorrichtung 4 Umschläge 3 zugeführt. Die Zuführung erfolgt mit einer Transportvorrichtung 10, beispielsweise geeigneten Transportbändern mit Mitnehmern. Mit dieser Transportvorrichtung können die Umschläge 3 einzeln sowie getaktet der Verarbeitungsvorrichtung 4 zugeführt werden.The arrangement 1 has a processing device 4, which are supplied with a first input station 5 successively printed products 2, such as signatures or book blocks 2. The transport of the printed products 2 can take place with a transport device, not shown here, for example with a belt transport device. The printed products 2 are preferably produced sequentially in a digital printing machine not shown here. With a second input station 6 of the processing device 4 envelopes 3 are supplied. The supply takes place with a transport device 10, for example, suitable conveyor belts with drivers. With this transport device, the envelopes 3 individually and clocked the processing device 4 are supplied.

Die Verarbeitungsvorrichtung 4 weist beispielsweise einen Drehtisch auf, wie dies in der oben genannten EP 1 199 187 A offenbart ist. In der Fig. 1 ist mit dem Pfeil 20 die Drehrichtung des Tisches gezeigt. Die der Verarbeitungsvorrichtung 4 zugeführten Druckprodukte 2 werden hier in einer ersten Station an einer Kante mittels Fräser 17 gefräst, danach in einer weiteren Station 18 am Rücken beleimt und in einer Umschlagpressstation 16 mit einem Umschlag 3 versehen. Schliesslich werden die Druckerzeugnisse 11 an einer Ausschleusstation 7 ausgeschleust und für den Versand bereitgestellt. Möglich ist auch eine hier nicht gezeigte weitere Ausschleusstation, mit welcher nicht benötigte oder fehlerhafte Umschläge 3 vor dem Anbringen an einem Buchblockrücken ausgeschleust werden können. Solche Ausschleusstationen sind dem Fachmann bekannt. Es kann auch eine Ausschleusstation für fehlerhafte Druckprodukte vorgesehen sein.The processing device 4 comprises, for example, a turntable, as in the above EP 1 199 187 A is disclosed. In Fig. 1 the direction of rotation of the table is shown by the arrow 20. The printed products 2 supplied to the processing device 4 are here milled in a first station at one edge by means of milling cutters 17, then glued in a further station 18 on the back and provided with an envelope 3 in a transfer pressing station 16. After all the printed products 11 are discharged at a discharge station 7 and provided for shipping. Also possible is a further discharge station, not shown here, with which unused or faulty envelopes 3 can be removed prior to attachment to a book block spine. Such discharge stations are known to the person skilled in the art. It may also be provided a discharge station for defective printed products.

Die erste Eingabestation 5 ist mit einer Erkennungsvorrichtung 19 versehen. Mit dieser werden die einzuschleusenden Druckprodukte 2 identifiziert, so dass unterschiedliche Druckprodukte 2 unterscheidbar bzw. identifizierbar sind. In der Fig. 1 sind beispielsweise die Druckprodukte 2 verschieden von den Druckprodukten 2'. Eine Unterscheidung ist beispielsweise mit einem geeigneten Sensor dadurch möglich, indem die Ausmasse, beispielsweise die Länge, Breite oder Dicke der Druckprodukte 2 und 2' gemessen werden. Die Druckprodukte 2 und 2' können aber auch beispielsweise mit einem hier nicht gezeigten Barcode oder Transponder versehen sein, die in an sich bekannter Weise durch Lesen des Barcodes identifiziert werden können. Die Identifikation erfolgt vorzugsweise laufend, d.h. jedes Druckprodukt 2 und 2' wird identifiziert.The first input station 5 is provided with a recognition device 19. With this, the printed products 2 to be inserted are identified, so that different printed products 2 can be distinguished or identified. For example, in FIG. 1, the printed products 2 are different from the printed products 2 '. A distinction is possible, for example, with a suitable sensor in that the dimensions, for example the length, width or thickness of the printed products 2 and 2 'are measured. However, the printed products 2 and 2 'can also be provided, for example, with a barcode or transponder, not shown here, which can be identified in a manner known per se by reading the barcode. The identification is preferably carried out continuously, i. each printed product 2 and 2 'is identified.

Grundsätzlich ist es aber auch möglich, lediglich periodisch zu identifizieren, beispielsweise jedes zweite oder jedes dritte Druckprodukt 2 und 2'.In principle, however, it is also possible to identify only periodically, for example every second or every third printed product 2 and 2 '.

Das Druckprodukt 2 benötigt einen anderen Umschlag als das Druckprodukt 2'. Damit der vorgesehene Umschlag verwendet wird, ist eine Steuervorrichtung 12 vorgesehen, die über eine Signalleitung 13 mit der ersten Eingabestation und mit einer Signalleitung 14 mit der zweiten Eingabestation verbunden ist. Diese zweite Eingabestation 6 besitzt einen Stapel 8 mit mehreren Ablagestellen 9, in denen unterschiedliche Umschläge 3 bereitgestellt sind. Beispielsweise sind in einer oberen Lagerstelle Umschläge 3, und in einer unteren Lagerstelle Umschläge 3' bereitgestellt. Die Umschläge 3 sind beispielsweise für die Druckprodukte 2 und die Umschläge 3' für die Druckprodukte 2' vorgesehen. Die Ablagestellen 9 können auch unterschiedliche Anleger, beispielsweise Trommelanleger sein. Die Umschläge 3 und 3' werden vorzugsweise in einer hier nicht gezeigten Digitaldruckmaschine gedruckt und der Ablagestelle 9 zugeführt.The printed product 2 requires a different envelope than the printed product 2 '. In order for the proposed envelope is used, a control device 12 is provided, which via a Signal line 13 is connected to the first input station and a signal line 14 to the second input station. This second input station 6 has a stack 8 with a plurality of storage locations 9, in which different envelopes 3 are provided. For example, envelopes 3 are provided in an upper storage location and envelopes 3 'are provided in a lower storage location. The envelopes 3 are provided, for example, for the printed products 2 and the envelopes 3 'for the printed products 2'. The filing points 9 can also be different investors, such as drum feeders. The envelopes 3 and 3 'are preferably printed in a digital printing press, not shown here, and fed to the depository 9.

Anhand der Daten der Erkennungsvorrichtung 19 wird nun der Stapel 8 so gesteuert, dass jeweils der zugehörige Umschlag 3 oder 3' abgezogen und über die Transportvorrichtung 10 der Verarbeitungsvorrichtung 4 zugeführt wird. Erkennt beispielsweise die Erkennungsvorrichtung 19 Druckprodukt 2', so sendet die Steuervorrichtung 12 über die Signalleitung 14 an den Stapel 8 ein entsprechendes Signal, welches bewirkt, dass der Umschlag 13' abgezogen wird. Das Abziehen kann beispielsweise mit hier nicht gezeigten Vakuum-Saugern oder Greifern oder dergleichen erfolgen.Based on the data of the recognition device 19, the stack 8 is now controlled so that in each case the associated envelope 3 or 3 'withdrawn and fed via the transport device 10 of the processing device 4. If, for example, the recognition device 19 recognizes printed product 2 ', the control device 12 sends via the signal line 14 to the stack 8 a corresponding signal which causes the envelope 13' to be withdrawn. The removal can be done, for example, with vacuum cups or grippers, not shown here or the like.

Der Umschlag 3' wird dann getaktet der Verarbeitungsvorrichtung 4 zugeführt, so dass der Umschlag 3' gleichzeitig mit dem entsprechenden Druckprodukt 2' an der Umschlag-Anpressstation 16 eintrifft. In dieser Station wird der Umschlag 3' mit dem Druckprodukt 2' verbunden, beispielsweise durch Kleben. Grundsätzlich sind aber auch andere Verbindungen, beispielsweise Draht- resp. Klammer-Heftungen oder dergleichen möglich. Findet ein Druckprodukt 2, so wird dies von der Erkennungsvorrichtung 19 erkannt, und entsprechend wird dann nicht ein Umschlag 3' sondern ein Umschlag 3 abgezogen und einzeln der Verarbeitungsvorrichtung 4 zugeführt. Der Produktionsstrom muss somit bei einem Wechsel von einem Produkt zum anderen nicht unterbrochen werden. Der Leistung der Digitaldruckmaschine kann somit ohne Einschränkung gefolgt werden.The envelope 3 'is then fed clocked to the processing device 4, so that the envelope 3' arrives at the envelope pressing station 16 simultaneously with the corresponding printed product 2 '. In this station, the envelope 3 'is connected to the printed product 2', for example by gluing. In principle, however, other compounds, for example Wire resp. Staple stapling or the like possible. If a printed product 2 is found, this is recognized by the recognition device 19, and accordingly not an envelope 3 'but an envelope 3 is withdrawn and fed individually to the processing device 4. The production flow thus does not have to be interrupted when changing from one product to another. The performance of the digital press can thus be followed without restriction.

Die Zuführung der Umschläge 3 oder 3' erfolgt über eine aufsteigende Rampe 15 (Fig. 1) so, dass die Umschläge 3 oder 3' unmittelbar gemäss Fig. 3 der Umschlagpressstation 16 zugeführt werden. Grundsätzlich ist aber auch eine andere Zuführung, beispielsweise von unten oder von oben möglich. Möglich ist auch eine Anordnung, welche mehrere erste Eingabestationen 5 und/oder mehrere zweite Eingabestationen 6 aufweist. Die erste Eingabestation 5 und die zweite Eingabestation 6 werden mit geeigneten Mitteln automatisch beschickt. Grundsätzlich ist aber auch eine Beschickung von Hand denkbar.The feeding of the envelopes 3 or 3 'takes place via an ascending ramp 15 (FIG. 1) such that the envelopes 3 or 3' are fed directly to the envelope pressing station 16 according to FIG. In principle, however, another supply, for example from below or from above possible. Also possible is an arrangement which has a plurality of first input stations 5 and / or a plurality of second input stations 6. The first input station 5 and the second input station 6 are automatically fed by suitable means. In principle, however, a manual feed is also conceivable.

Selbstverständlich können einzelne Druckprodukte 2, 2' und/oder einzelne Umschläge 3, 3' zur Gewährleistung einer korrekten Zuordnung auf dem Zuführweg zur Verarbeitungsvorrichtung 4 verzögert, beschleunigt oder ausgeschleust werden.Of course, individual printed products 2, 2 'and / or individual envelopes 3, 3' can be delayed, accelerated or discharged to ensure correct assignment on the feed path to the processing device 4.
