Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of materials handling and relates to a method and a device according to the preambles of the corresponding independent claims.
  • Methods and apparatus are used to create a series of flat objects, for example individual printed products, of stacked groups of printed products or of stacked groups of printed products and other flat objects such as CDs, flat pattern articles or flat sample bags, in particular with a view to later packaging.
  • the longitudinal and transverse seams are usually produced by welding, wherein the separation of the packaged objects can be carried out simultaneously with the creation of the transverse seams.
  • a heat-activatable adhesive may be applied to the packaging material immediately prior to feeding the packaging material web to the series of objects to be packaged at the locations of the longitudinal and transverse seams, such that the seams are then made by similar means can be like the welded seams on plastic packaging. It is also possible to close the seams by embossing or by other known methods adapted to the packaging material used.
  • the objects in the form of a row which rests on a conveying surface (eg belt conveyor), are fed to said packaging.
  • a conveying surface eg belt conveyor
  • the objects are arranged one behind the other and spaced apart, loosely, the distance between successive objects being adapted to the thickness of the objects and the methods used to create the transverse seams and to separate the packaging material.
  • conveyor cams are used in addition to the conveying surface, through which the flat objects can be fed clocked more accurate than would be the case with the conveying surface as the only funding.
  • To the flat objects conveyed in the row is then supplied from below through a gap in the conveying surface or from above the quasi-endless packaging material web, wherein the packaging material web has the same speed as the row of objects.
  • the objects are usually removed from a stack and placed individually on the conveyor surface.
  • a method and a device according to the preambles of the independent claims is known from WO 03/053831 known.
  • the objects conveyed in a scale formation are separated by acceleration at a head end of the scale flow and conveyed on as a series of individual objects.

  • the package is not supplied with a series of objects arranged behind one another and spaced apart in the conveying direction, but a feed stream in which the distances between the objects are smaller than their length in the conveying direction when they are conveyed in the row.
  • the feed stream is a gripper stream in which the objects are held by one gripper, for example individually in an edge region, and conveyed at small distances from one another. From this feed stream, the objects are sequentially separated by acceleration and positioned directly on or under the packaging material web moving in a web direction by, for example, depositing or pushing.
  • the relationship between the web speed and the feed speed, and thus the necessary acceleration of the objects for singulation from the feed stream and positioning on the packaging material web are determined by the object distances in the feed stream and by the object length and object distances in the packaging material web creating series.
  • the web direction is substantially horizontal, such that flat objects resting on the web of packaging material, when pressed by gravity against the packaging material web, remain in the position on the web in which they are positioned during acceleration. If the flat objects are supplied in a scale flow, it is advantageous to place the feed direction in the same vertical plane as the web direction and also to orient approximately horizontally and to deflect the packaging material web at the acceleration point from below or from above into the web direction. When the flat objects in a gripper stream, it is advantageous to direct it from above or below against the moving in the web direction packaging material web and deflect immediately above or below the packaging material web in the web direction.

  • the third device 7 has, for example, in a conventional manner, a sequence of pairs of transfer rollers 70 arranged above the row 4, wherein the distance between the transfer rollers 70 of the pairs in the web direction becomes smaller, so that the two longitudinal edges of the packaging material web 2 over the row 4 are merged.
