Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Faltschachtelklebemaschine zur Herstellung von Faltschachteln aus Zuschnitten, die mehrere Bearbeitungsstationen und eine Fördereinrichtung zum Fördern der Zuschnitte durch die einzelnen Bearbeitungsstationen aufweist.The invention relates to a Faltschachtelklebemaschine for the production of cartons of blanks, which has a plurality of processing stations and a conveyor for conveying the blanks through the individual processing stations.

Faltschachteln sind Verpackungen aus Karton oder Wellpappe, in geringem Umfang auch aus Kunststoff, die je nach Konstruktion während des Faltprozesses an einer oder mehreren Stellen beleimt werden. Sie werden in der Regel aus einem Zuschnitt produziert. Die Zuschnitte werden üblicherweise auf einer Bogenstanze ausgestanzt. Der Zuschnitt muss mindestens an einer Kante verklebt werden. Die gefalteten Schachteln kommen im flachliegenden Zustand aus der Faltschachtel-Klebemaschine. Das Aufstellen und Befüllen der Schachtel kann maschinell oder auch manuell erfolgen.Folding cartons are cardboard or corrugated board packaging, and to a lesser extent plastic, which are glued at one or more points during the folding process, depending on the design. They are usually produced from a blank. The blanks are usually punched out on a sheet punch. The blank must be glued at least at one edge. The folded boxes come out of the carton gluer in the flat state. The placement and filling of the box can be done by machine or manually.

Neben den Faltungen, die zur Herstellung der Faltschachteln erforderlich sind, werden als Vorbereitung für den anschließenden Produktionsschritt auch weitere Rilllinien in der Faltschachtel-Klebemaschine vorgebrochen (vorgefaltet). Dadurch wird das Aufstellen der Schachtel und das spätere Befüllen erleichtert.In addition to the folds required to produce the cartons, further creasing lines in the carton gluer are pre-broken (prefolded) to prepare for the subsequent production step. This facilitates the installation of the box and the subsequent filling.

Der eigentliche Klebeprozess ist nur ein Teil des komplexen maschinellen Vorganges bei der Herstellung von Faltschachteln. Je nach Art der Schachtel sind vor dem Leimauftrag diverse Faltungen in und quer zur Laufrichtung der Maschine auszuführen, um die Faltschachtel konstruktionsgerecht für das Aufrichten vorzubereiten und den Leim an der richtigen Stelle aufzutragen.The actual gluing process is just one part of the complex mechanical process involved in the manufacture of folding cartons. Depending on the type of box, various folds are to be made in and across the direction of the machine before the glue is applied in order to prepare the folding box in a manner suitable for erecting and to apply the glue in the right place.

Faltschachtelklebemaschinen zur Herstellung von Faltschachteln aus Zuschnitten weisen bekanntermaßen mehrere Bearbeitungsstationen auf, die von den Zuschnitten der Faltschachtel nacheinander durchlaufen werden, dies sind beispielsweise:

  • Einleger
    Die Schachtelzuschnitte werden am Einleger zwischen zwei seitlich justierbare Stapelwände platziert. Umlaufende Einlegerriemen ziehen den jeweils untersten Zuschnitt in die Maschine. Durch in der Höhe einstellbare Stellzungen können Doppeleinzüge ausgeschlossen werden, somit ist ein optimalen und markierungsfreies Einziehen der Zuschnitte gewährleistet.
    Der Einleger vereinzelt die Zuschnitte und sorgt für einen definierten Abstand der Zuschnitte zueinander.
  • Ausrichtestation
    Um die Zuschnitte für den nachfolgenden Faltvorgang exakt mit zur Transportrichtung parallelen Rilllinien auszurichten, ist es bekannt, unmittelbar hinter dem Einleger eine so genannte Ausrichtstation anzuordnen. Das Ausrichten der Zuschnitte erfolgt an einer Führungsleiste, die sich in Transportrichtung erstreckt und gegen die die Zuschnitte seitlich geführt werden.
  • Vorbrecher
    Im Vorbrecher werden die Rilllinien einmal vorgebrochen und dann wieder flach in die nachfolgende Station übergeleitet. Durch das Vorbrechen (Vor- und Zurückfalten) der Rilllinien werden diese weich und geschmeidig gemacht. Dadurch lassen sich geklebte Schachteln später leichter öffnen, das Befüllen wird vereinfacht. Der Vorbrecher bietet auch die Möglichkeit, Zusatzeinrichtungen aufzunehmen.
  • Faltstation
    Hier werden die Zuschnitte gefaltet und verklebt. Das Unterleimwerk am Anfang der Faltstation stellt einen präzisen Leimauftrag und spritzarmes Arbeiten auch bei höchsten Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten sicher.
  • Überleitstation
    Die geklebten Schachteln werden in der Station für die geschuppte Übergabe in die Pressstation vorbereitet. Bei Einsatz von Codeleser oder Leimauftragskontrolle können fehlerhafte Schachteln in der Überleitstation mittels Zusatzeinrichtung ausgeschleust werden. In dieser Station werden die Schachteln gezählt sowie einzelne Schachteln über eine Markiereinrichtung seitlich versetzt abgelegt; damit ist der Schachtelstrom für eine schnelle und einfache manuelle Abnahme optimal vorbereitet.
  • Sammel- und Presseinrichtung
    In der langsamer laufenden Pressstation werden die geschuppten Schachteln, unter präzise einstellbarem Druck, zwischen umlaufenden Pressgurten geführt, um den Leim auch bei hohen Produktions-Geschwindigkeiten abbinden zu lassen. FaltschachtelKlebemaschinen können hierzu mit einer elektronischen Einrichtung zur zuschnittabhängigen Steuerung der Geschwindigkeit für die Sammel- und Presseinrichtung ausgerüstet sein. Diese stellt automatisch das genaue Einhalten der eingestellten Schuppung sicher- und damit Strangdicke und gleichmäßige Pressung der Schachteln auch bei unterschiedlichem Schachtelfluss.
Folding box gluing machines for the production of folded boxes from blanks are known to have a plurality of processing stations, which are traversed successively by the blanks of the folded box, these are, for example:
  • depositors
    The box blanks are adjustable on the insert between two laterally adjustable Stacking walls placed. Circulating insert belts pull the lowest blank into the machine. Due to the height-adjustable positioning tongues, double feeds can be ruled out, thus ensuring optimal and mark-free feeding of the blanks.
    The insert separates the blanks and ensures a defined distance between the blanks.
  • aligner
    In order to align the blanks for the subsequent folding process exactly with parallel to the transport direction score lines, it is known to arrange a so-called alignment station immediately behind the insert. The blanks are aligned on a guide strip which extends in the transport direction and against which the blanks are guided laterally.
  • primary crusher
    In the primary crusher, the crease lines are broken down once and then transferred flat again to the next station. The pre-breaking (folding in and out) of the score lines makes them soft and supple. As a result, glued boxes can be opened more easily later, filling is simplified. The primary crusher also provides the ability to accommodate ancillary equipment.
  • folding station
    Here the blanks are folded and glued. The bottom gluing unit at the beginning of the folding station ensures precise glue application and low-spray work even at the highest production speeds.
  • transfer station
    The glued boxes are prepared in the station for the shingled transfer to the pressing station. If code readers or glue application control are used, defective boxes can be removed in the transfer station by means of an additional device. In this station the boxes are counted as well as individual boxes deposited a marking laterally offset; Thus, the box stream is optimally prepared for quick and easy manual acceptance.
  • Collecting and pressing device
    In the slower-running pressing station, the shingled boxes are guided, under precisely adjustable pressure, between circulating pressing belts to allow the glue to set even at high production speeds. FaltschachtelKlebemaschinen can be equipped for this purpose with an electronic device for cutting-dependent control of the speed for the collecting and pressing device. This automatically ensures the exact adherence to the set scaling - and thus strand thickness and uniform pressure of the boxes even with different box flow.

ZusatzmaschinenAncillary equipment

Im Anschluss an die Sammel- und Presseinrichtung besteht die Möglichkeit, halbautomatische oder vollautomatische Abpackmaschinen zu installieren. Die geklebten Schachteln werden dann maschinell direkt in Umkartons verpackt bzw. für eine erleichterte Handabnahme vorbereitet.Following the collection and pressing device, it is possible to install semi-automatic or fully automatic packaging machines. The glued boxes are then packed by machine directly in cartons or prepared for easier hand picking.

Am Einleger einer Faltschachtel-Klebemaschine kann zusätzlich ein Voreinleger für das Zuführen eines ununterbrochenen Faltschachtel-Zuschnittstroms angeschlossen werden.A feeder for feeding a continuous carton blank stream may additionally be attached to the feeder of a carton gluer.

Mit der Option eines Voreinlegers und einer Abpackmaschine an der Faltschachtel-Klebemaschine wird ein umfassendes vollautomatisches System für höchste Produktionsleistung und Produktqualität zur Verfügung gestellt - ein hoch wirtschaftliches System, exakt zugeschnitten auf die Bedürfnisse des Profianwenders.With the option of a pre-feeder and a packaging machine on the folding carton gluer, a comprehensive, fully automatic system for the highest production output and product quality is made available - a highly economical system, precisely tailored to the needs of the professional user.

Weiterhin können Leimauftrags- und Kontrollgeräte, Düsenleimwerke (für Kalt- und Heißleim) sowie Codeleser und Leimauftragskontrollgeräte integriert werden.Furthermore, glue application and control devices, nozzle gluing units (for cold and hot glue) as well as code readers and glue application control devices can be integrated.

Der Transport der Zuschnitte durch die einzelnen Bearbeitungsstationen erfolgt mittels oberer und unterer Förderriemen, die jeweils auf ihrer den Zuschnitten abgewandten Seite abgestützt sind. In der Regel werden über die Maschinenbreite zwei Paare von schmalen Riemen eingesetzt, die zur Anpassung auf verschieden Schachtelformate für die optimale Berührungslinie mit den Zuschnitten quer positioniert werden können. Positionsanzeigen für die formatbezogene Verstellung der Rollschienen sorgen für kurze Rüstzeiten bei Einstellungen und Wiederholaufträgen. Die oberen Rollschienen sind abhebbar. Das erleichtert die Einstellarbeiten und reduziert Rüstzeiten. Zudem lassen sich die Zuschnitte leicht herausnehmen.The transport of the blanks through the individual processing stations by means of upper and lower conveyor belts, each on its side facing away from the blanks are supported. Typically, two pairs of narrow belts are used across the machine width, which can be transversely positioned to accommodate different box formats for optimum contact with the blanks. Position indicators for the format-related adjustment of the roller rails ensure short set-up times for settings and repeat jobs. The upper roller rails can be lifted. This simplifies adjustments and reduces set-up times. In addition, the blanks can be easily removed.

Derartige Faltschachtelklebemaschinen sind beispielsweise aus der EP 1001 877 B1 bekannt.Such Faltschachtelklebemaschinen are for example from the EP 1001 877 B1 known.

Dienen die Faltschachteln zur Verpackung von Arzneimitteln, so ist es gesetzlich vorgeschrieben, die Bezeichnung des Arzneimittels in Blindenschrift (so genannte Braille-Schrift) auf die Faltschachtel aufzubringen (bspw. durch Prägen). Dazu wurde vom Fachverband Faltschachtel-Industrie (FFI) e.V. eine technische Richtlinie "Blindenschrift in der Faltschachtel-Herstellung" herausgegeben, die als Leitfaden für eine standardisierte Herstellung der Blindenschrift auf Faltschachteln dienen.If the cartons are used to package medicines, it is legally required to apply the name of the medicament in braille (so-called Braille) to the carton (eg by embossing). For this purpose, the Fachverband Faltschachtel-Industrie (FFI) e.V. issued a technical guideline "Braille in the production of folding cartons", which serves as a guideline for the standardized production of braille on folding cartons.

Bekannterweise erfolgt die Prägung der Blindenschrift während des Stanzprozesses in der Bogenstanze bei der Herstellung der Zuschnitte. Dies ist jedoch aufwendig, da ein Stanzbogen etliche Nutzen (Zuschnitte) enthält und für jeden Nutzen ein Werkzeugpaar bestehend aus Matrize und Patrize bereitgestellt werden muss. Es entstehen somit sehr hohe Werkzeugkosten. Weiterhin hat es sich gezeigt, dass die Stanzbögen dazu neigen, an den Prägewerkzeugen für die Braille-Schrift hängen zu bleiben und so den Stanzprozess beeinträchtigen. Weiterhin bereitet es Schwierigkeiten, die Rilllinien und die Braille-Schrift gleichzeitig zu prägen, falls sich die Braille-Schrift in der Nähe der Rilllinien befinden soll. Die Werkzeuge für das Prägen der Rilllinien und der Braille-Schrift benötigen einen Mindestabstand voneinander. Darüber hinaus erhöht sich die benötigte Einstellzeit wegen der Vielzahl der Werkzeuge in der Stanzform.As is known, the embossing of the braille during the punching process in the sheet punch in the production of blanks. However, this is expensive because a punching sheet contains several benefits (blanks) and for each benefit a pair of tools consisting of die and patrix must be provided. This results in very high tooling costs. Furthermore, it has been found that the stamping sheets tend to stick to the embossing tools for the Braille font and thus affect the punching process. Furthermore, it is difficult to coining the score line and the Braille font at the same time, if the Braille font is to be located near the score lines. The tools for embossing the score lines and the Braille font require a minimum distance from each other. In addition, the required adjustment time increases because of the variety of tools in the die.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zu Grunde, das Einprägen einer Blindenschrift in eine Faltschachtel in vereinfachter Form und ohne Beeinträchtigung der übrigen Verarbeitungsschritte bei der Herstellung einer Faltschachtel zu ermöglichen.The invention is thus based on the object to enable the memorizing of a braille in a carton in a simplified form and without affecting the other processing steps in the production of a carton.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass in der Faltschachtelklebemaschine, bevorzugt zwischen zwei Bearbeitungsstationen, eine Prägeeinrichtung mit Prägewerkzeugen zur Prägung einer Blindenschrift in die Zuschnitte angeordnet ist.This object is achieved in that in the folding box gluing machine, preferably between two processing stations, an embossing device with embossing tools for embossing a Braille is arranged in the blanks.

Die in den Figuren nur ausschnittsweise dargestellte Faltschachtelklebemaschine enthält im Wesentlichen die üblichen oben beschriebenen Arbeitsstationen, von denen nur die Ausrichtestation und Vorbrechstation näher dargestellt sind. Ein nicht dargestellter Einleger zieht die zu verarbeitenden Zuschnitte mit hoher Geschwindigkeit aus einem Stapel nacheinander ab, damit diese einzeln den nachfolgenden Bearbeitungsstationen zugeführt werden. Auf den Einleger folgt eine Ausrichtstation 1, die gemeinsam mit der nachfolgenden Vorbrechstation 2 teilweise in den Figuren dargestellt ist. Die Ausrichtstation dient bekannterweise zum exakten Ausrichten der Zuschnitte so, dass nach dem Ausrichten die Rilllinien exakt in Transportrichtung verlaufen. Dazu enthält die Ausrichtstation 1 eine exakt in Transportrichtung der Zuschnitte ausgerichtete Führungsschiene, gegen die die Zuschnitte geführt und so ausgerichtet werden. Auf die Ausrichtstation 1 folgt eine Vorbrechstation 2, die Faltelemente enthält, um die Faltlappen der Zuschnitten vor- und zurück zu falten, damit die entsprechenden Längsrilllinien durch Knicken um 180° weich und geschmeidig gemacht werden. Auf den Vorbrecher 2 folgt als nächste Bearbeitungsstation eine nicht dargestellte Faltstation.The folding box gluing machine, which is only partially shown in the figures, essentially contains the usual working stations described above, of which only the aligning station and the prebreaking station are shown in greater detail. An unillustrated depositor sequentially pulls the blanks from a stack one after the other at high speed, so that they are fed individually to the subsequent processing stations. On the depositor follows an alignment station 1, which is shown partially in the figures together with the following Vorbrechstation 2. The alignment station is known to accurately align the blanks so that after aligning the creasing lines run exactly in the transport direction. For this purpose, the alignment station 1 contains an exactly aligned in the transport direction of the blanks Guide rail, against which the blanks are guided and aligned. On the alignment station 1 follows a Vorbrechstation 2, which contains folding elements to fold the folding flaps of the blanks back and forth, so that the corresponding Längsrilllinien be made soft and smooth by bending by 180 °. On the primary crusher 2 follows as the next processing station a folding station, not shown.

Die Fördereinrichtung zum Fördern der Zuschnitte durch die einzelnen Bearbeitungsstationen besteht aus zwei Riemenpaaren 3, 4, die sich entsprechend der einzelnen Bearbeitungsstationen aus einzelnen Segmenten aufbauen. Jedes der aus einem oberen und einem unteren Förderriemen bestehenden Riemenpaare 3, 4 eines Segments ist zur Einstellung der optimalen Angriffsposition an den sich ändernden Zuschnittsformaten querpositionierbar im Rahmen 22 der Maschine gelagert. Zwischen zwei Bearbeitungsstationen 1, 2, entsteht eine kurze Lücke zwischen dem Förderriemenpaaren 3, 4, in der Teile der Zuschnitte frei zugänglich sind und somit Bearbeitungswerkzeuge angreifen können.The conveyor for conveying the blanks through the individual processing stations consists of two pairs of belts 3, 4, which build up according to the individual processing stations of individual segments. Each of the belt pairs 3, 4 of a segment consisting of an upper and a lower conveyor belt is mounted transversely positionable in the frame 22 of the machine for setting the optimum engagement position on the changing blank formats. Between two processing stations 1, 2, a short gap between the conveyor belt pairs 3, 4, in which parts of the blanks are freely accessible and thus can attack processing tools.

Nach der Erfindung ist in der Faltschachtelklebemaschine eine Prägeeinrichtung mit Prägewerkzeugen zur Prägung einer Blindenschrift in die Zuschnitte angeordnet. Bevorzugt ist die Prägeeinrichtung zwischen zwei Bearbeitungsstationen 1, 2 in einem Bereich angeordnet, in dem eine Lücke zwischen zwei Förderiemenpaaren 3, 4 besteht, so dass ein Teil der Zuschnitte frei liegt. In dem freiliegenden Bereich greifen die Prägewerkzeuge an.According to the invention, an embossing device with embossing tools for embossing a Braille is arranged in the blanks in the folding box gluer. Preferably, the embossing device is arranged between two processing stations 1, 2 in a region in which there is a gap between two conveying belt pairs 3, 4, so that part of the blanks is exposed. In the exposed area, the embossing tools attack.

Vorteilhaft ist die Prägeeinrichtung im vorderen Teil der Faltschachtelklebemaschine noch vor der ersten Faltstation angeordnet. Da vor der ersten Faltstation noch keine Teile des Zuschnitts gefaltet sind, kann die Blindenschrift an jeder Position über die Breite des Zuschnitts eingeprägt werden. Bevorzugt ist die Prägeeinrichtung zwischen der Ausrichtstation 1 und der Vorbrechstation 2 angeordnet, wie in den Figuren dargestellt ist. Die Prägeeinrichtung 6 ist als Rotationsprägeeinrichtung ausgebildet und enthält ein rotierend angetriebenes Oberwerkzeug 7 und einem diesem zugeordnetes, ebenfalls rotierend angetriebenes Unterwerkzeug 8. Da bei der Schachtelherstellung die bedruckte Seite des Zuschnitts unten liegt und die Prägung der Braille-Schrift nach außen erfolgen muss, ist das Oberwerkzeug 7 mit einer produktindividuellen Patrize bestückt. Das Unterwerkzeug 8 enthält eine produktneutrale Matrize, die als Gegenform dient. So werden die Punkte der Braille-Schrift von oben nach unten durch das Zuschnittsmaterial geprägt.Advantageously, the embossing device is arranged in the front part of the Faltschachtelklebemaschine even before the first folding station. Since no parts of the blank are folded before the first folding station, the braille can be stamped at any position across the width of the blank. Preferably, the embossing device between the alignment station 1 and the Vorbrechstation 2 is arranged, as shown in the figures. The embossing device 6 is designed as a rotary embossing device and includes a rotationally driven upper tool 7 and an associated thereto, also rotationally driven lower tool 8. Since in the box making the printed side of the blank is down and done the embossing of the Braille font to the outside must, the upper tool 7 is equipped with a product-specific male. The lower tool 8 contains a product-neutral die, which serves as a counter-mold. Thus, the points of the Braille font from top to bottom are marked by the cut material.

Sowohl das Oberwerkzeug 7 als auch das Unterwerkzeug 8 sind mit einem Rotationsantrieb, im Ausführungsbeispiel ein Servomotor 9, verbunden. Der Servomotor 9 ist an einer Seitenplatte5 der Eimichtung befestigt. Er treibt zwei Antriebswellen 10, 11 an, die sich über die gesamte Breite der Faltschachtelklebemaschine erstrecken und jeweils an ihrem Ende in den Seitenplatten der Einrichtung 5 gelagert sind. Die Antriebswelle 10 führt durch das Oberwerkzeug 7, die Antriebswelle 11 durch das Unterwerkzeug 8, wobei die Werkzeuge 7, 8 für eine Querpositionierung frei auf ihren jeweiligen Antriebswellen 10, 11 verschiebbar sind. Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Antriebswelle 11 des Unterwerkzeugs 8 direkt mir dem Servomotor 9 verbunden. Die Antriebswelle 10 des Oberwerkzeug 7 wird über an den Antriebswellen 10, 11 angebrachte Synchronscheiben 12 und einem Doppelzahnriemen 13 mit angetrieben. Der Doppelzahnriemen 13 gewährleistet eine synchrone Rotation von Ober- und Unterwerkzeug 7, 8.Both the upper tool 7 and the lower tool 8 are connected to a rotary drive, in the embodiment, a servo motor 9. The servo motor 9 is attached to a side plate 5 of the egg direction. It drives two drive shafts 10, 11, which extend over the entire width of the Faltschachtelklebemaschine and are each mounted at their end in the side plates of the device 5. The drive shaft 10 passes through the upper tool 7, the drive shaft 11 through the lower tool 8, wherein the tools 7, 8 for a transverse positioning freely on their respective drive shafts 10, 11 are displaced. In the exemplary embodiment, the drive shaft 11 of the lower tool 8 is connected directly to the servo motor 9. The drive shaft 10 of the upper tool 7 is driven by mounted on the drive shafts 10, 11 pulleys 12 and a double toothed belt 13 with. The double toothed belt 13 ensures a synchronous rotation of the upper and lower tools 7, 8.

Alternativ kann auch das untere Prägewerkzeug 8 mit dem Antrieb der Fördereinrichtung 3, 4 gekoppelt sein, und das obere Prägewerkzeug 7 mit einem Rotationsantrieb versehen werden.Alternatively, the lower embossing tool 8 can be coupled to the drive of the conveyor 3, 4, and the upper embossing tool 7 are provided with a rotary drive.

Zur Aufnahme der Prägekräfte sind sowohl das Oberwerkzeug 7, als auch das Unterwerkzeug 8 jeweils in Lagerböcken 14 gelagert, wobei die Lagerböcke 14 der Oberwerkzeuge 7 sich an einem oberen Querträger 15 abstützen und von diesem geführt werden. Die Lageböcke 14 der Unterwerkzeuge 8 stützen sich an einen unteren Querträger 16 ab und werden von diesem geführt. Die Lagerböcke 14 mit den daran befestigen Werkzeugen 7, 8 sind senkrecht zur Transportrichtung und somit quer über die Arbeitsbreite der Maschine stufenlos positionierbar und werden in ihrer Arbeitsposition durch Schrauben fixiert. Während der untere Querträger 16 an seinem Enden mit dem Gestellwänden des Maschinenrahmens 22 verschraubt und somit ortsfest gelagert ist, ist der oberer Querträger 15 an seitlichen Schwenkhebel 21 montiert, die um den Punkt A (Figur 2) schwenkbar gelagert sind. Durch die Schwenkung des oberen Querträgers 15 lässt sich der Abstand des Oberwerkzeugs 7 von dem Unterwerkzeug 8 einstellen und somit an die Materialstärke der Zuschnitte anpassen. Die Einstellungen des Abstands erfolgt manuell über ein Handrad 17, dessen Drehbewegung durch ein Schneckengetriebe 18 in die Vertikalbewegung einer Spindel 19 umgewandelt wird. Die Vertikalbewegung der Spindel 19 bewirkt ein Schwenken des Querträgers um den Punkt A und somit eine Änderung des Abstands des Oberwerkzeugs 7 vom Unterwerkzeug 8. Die Spindel 19 greift über ein Tellerfederpaket an den Schwenkhebel 21. Durch das Federpaket wird gewährleistet, dass das Oberwerkzeug 7 nach oben ausweichen kann, falls mehrere Zuschnitte übereinander einlaufen. Der Querträger 15 mit dem daran gelagerten Oberwerkzeug 7 ist somit ohne starre, mechanische Verbindung, sondern über das Federpaket elastisch abgestützt gelagert. Damit die beiden Schwenkhebel 21 an jeder Maschinenseite parallel ausweichen, sind sie über eine Torsionswelle als Synchronwelle miteinander verbunden.To accommodate the embossing forces both the upper tool 7, and the lower tool 8 are each mounted in bearing blocks 14, wherein the bearing blocks 14 of the upper tools 7 are supported on an upper cross member 15 and guided by this. The position blocks 14 of the lower tools 8 are based on a lower cross member 16 and are guided by this. The bearing blocks 14 with the attaching tools 7, 8 are perpendicular to the transport direction and thus across the working width of the machine continuously positionable and are fixed in their working position by screws. While the lower cross member 16 is screwed at its ends to the frame walls of the machine frame 22 and thus stored stationary, the upper cross member 15 is mounted on lateral pivot lever 21, which is about the point A (Figure 2) are pivotally mounted. By the pivoting of the upper cross member 15, the distance of the upper tool 7 can be adjusted by the lower tool 8 and thus adapted to the material thickness of the blanks. The settings of the distance is done manually via a hand wheel 17, the rotational movement is converted by a worm gear 18 in the vertical movement of a spindle 19. The vertical movement of the spindle 19 causes a pivoting of the cross member about the point A and thus a change in the distance of the upper tool 7 from the lower tool 8. The spindle 19 engages over a plate spring packet to the pivot lever 21. By the spring assembly ensures that the upper tool 7 after can escape above, if several blanks arrive one above the other. The cross member 15 with the upper tool 7 mounted thereon is thus supported without rigid, mechanical connection, but elastically supported by the spring assembly. Thus, the two pivot lever 21 to avoid parallel on each side of the machine, they are connected to each other via a torsion shaft as a synchronous shaft.

Alle Teile der Prägeeinrichtung 6 sind direkt oder indirekt in Seitenplatten 5 gelagert, die jeweils auf den Gestellwänden des Rahmens 22 der Maschine aufliegen und mittels Befestigungsschrauben an diesen befestigt sind. Durch Lösen der Befestigungsschrauben kann somit die Prägeeinrichtung 6 als ganzes aus der Faltschachtelklebemaschine entfernt werden.All parts of the embossing device 6 are mounted directly or indirectly in side plates 5, each resting on the frame walls of the frame 22 of the machine and are fastened by means of fastening screws to this. By loosening the fastening screws thus the embossing device 6 can be removed as a whole from the Faltschachtelklebemaschine.

Die Zuschnitte werden von den Förderriemenpaaren 3, 4 vom Einleger in die Ausrichtstation 1 transportiert. Dort werden sie ausgerichtet und an die Prägewerkzeuge 7, 8 herangeführt. Ein vor dem Prägewerkzeugen 7, 8 angeordneter nicht dargestellter Lichttaster erkennt einen in die Prägeeinrichtung 6 einlaufenden Zuschnitt und löst die Rotationsbewegung der Werkzeuge 7, 8 aus. Der Servomotor 9 beschleunigt die Werkzeuge 7, 8 auf eine Umfangsgeschwindigkeit, die der Fördergeschwindigkeit der Riemenpaare 3,4 entspricht. Diese Fördergeschwindigkeit wird durch einen in der Maschine angeordneten Tachometer ermittelt. Ohne Relativgeschwindigkeit zum weiter transportierten Zuschnitt prägen so die Werkzeuge 7, 8 die Braille-Schrift in den jeweiligen Zuschnitt bei dessen Durchlauf. Die geprägten Zuschnitte werden anschließend in die Vorbrechstation 2 gefördert und durchlaufen anschließend die weiteren Bearbeitungsstationen der Faltschachtelklebemaschine.The blanks are transported by the conveyor belt pairs 3, 4 from the inserter into the alignment station 1. There, they are aligned and brought to the embossing tools 7, 8. An unillustrated light sensor arranged in front of the stamping tools 7, 8 detects a blank entering the stamping device 6 and triggers the rotational movement of the tools 7, 8. The servomotor 9 accelerates the tools 7, 8 to a circumferential speed which corresponds to the conveying speed of the belt pairs 3, 4. This conveying speed is determined by a tachometer arranged in the machine. Without relative speed to further transported blank shape so the tools 7, 8, the Braille script in the respective blank during its passage. The embossed blanks are then conveyed into the Vorbrechstation 2 and then go through the other processing stations of Faltschachtelklebemaschine.

Die Erfindung hat den großen Vorteil, dass nur ein Paar Prägewerkzeuge pro Produkt benötigt wird. Die Prägung der Braille-Schrift lässt sich unabhängig von den Rilllinien auf den Zuschnitten anbringen. Die in Förderrichtung vor der Prägeeinrichtung 6 angeordnete Ausrichtstation 1 gewährleistet eine exakte Positionierung der Braille-Schrift auf dem Zuschnitt.The invention has the great advantage that only one pair of stamping tools per product is needed. The embossing of the Braille font can be applied to the blanks independently of the creasing lines. The arranged in the conveying direction before the embossing device 6 alignment station 1 ensures accurate positioning of the Braille font on the blank.

Die Prägewerkzeuge 7, 8 sind in den jeweiligen Querträgern 15, 16 querpositionierbar gelagert, damit die Braille-Schrift auf der gewünschten Position des Zuschnitts eingeprägt werden kann. Im beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel erfolgt die Positionierung der Werkzeuge 7, 8 manuell oder mit einer manuellen Kurbel zu bedienen, bevor die Faltschachtelklebemaschine ihre Produktion aufnimmt. Für eine automatische Positionierung ist es möglich, die Lagerböcke 14 der Werkzeuge 7, 8 mit Spindeln zu verbinden, die jeweils von einem Spindelmotor angetrieben werden.The stamping tools 7, 8 are mounted transversely positionable in the respective cross members 15, 16, so that the Braille font can be stamped on the desired position of the blank. In the described embodiment, the positioning of the tools 7, 8 takes place manually or with a manual crank, before the folding box gluing machine starts its production. For automatic positioning, it is possible to connect the bearing blocks 14 of the tools 7, 8 with spindles, which are each driven by a spindle motor.

Falls die Prägeeinrichtung 6 innerhalb der Faltschachtelklebemaschine für eine Produktion ohne Braille-Schrift in eine inaktive Position bewegt werden soll, wird die Prägeeinrichtung 6 an einem seitlichen Schwenkarm befestigt, der schwenkbar an der Gestellwand des Rahmens 22 befestigt ist. Für eine Bewegung in eine inaktive Position wird dann die gesamte Vorrichtung nach oben geschwenkt. Alternativ ist es möglich, die Prägeeinrichtung 6 an seitlichen senkrechten Säulen zu lagern, die an den Gestellwänden befestigt sind. In diesem Fall wird die Prägeeinrichtung 6 zur Bewegung in eine inaktive Position senkrecht an den Säulen nach oben bewegt.If the embossing device 6 is to be moved to an inactive position inside the folder gluer for non-braille production, the embossing device 6 is attached to a side swivel arm which is pivotally attached to the frame wall of the frame 22. For movement to an inactive position, the entire device is then pivoted upwards. Alternatively, it is possible to store the embossing device 6 on lateral vertical columns, which are fastened to the frame walls. In this case, the embossing means 6 is moved upwardly for movement to an inactive position perpendicular to the columns.
