Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Pressenanordnung mit den oberbegrifflichen Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Leimbindern nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 14. Eine solche Pressenanordnung und Verfahren ist aus der DE 2 358 570 bekannt.The invention relates to a press arrangement with the preamble features of claim 1 and a method for producing laminated beams according to the preamble of claim 14. Such a press arrangement and method is known from DE 2 358 570 known.

Bei der Herstellung von schichtverleimten Bauteilen werden mehrere Holz- oder Werkstofflamellen miteinander zunächst beleimt, dann aufeinandergeschichtet und in geeigneten Pressen zu stabilen Trägern verpresst. Aus diesen Schichtstapeln oder Bindern können große tragende Bauteile mit komplexen Konstruktionen hergestellt werden, da die Binder in beinahe beliebigen Längen und Formen hergestellt werden können. Herkömmlicherweise werden die Binder aus Holz oder Holzwerkstoffen produziert. Werden die Binder aus Brettschichtholz gefertigt, so kommen hier vorsortierte und von Fehlstellen befreite Hölzer zum Einsatz. Durch die Verbindung der Hölzer zu Brettschichtholzelementen lässt sich, bezogen auf identische Querschnitte, eine bis zu 80 Prozent höhere Tragkraft als mit Vollholz erreichen. Im Vergleich zu Vollholz sind darüber hinaus größere Querschnitte und die Herstellung gebogener Träger möglich. Gegenüber reinen Stahl- und Spannbetonkonstruktionen bieten die Brettschichtholzelemente bei ähnlichem Preis Vorteile in Bezug auf Gewicht und chemische Widerstandsfähigkeit.In the production of layer-glued components several wood or material lamellae are glued together first, then stacked and pressed in appropriate presses to form stable carriers. From these layer stacks or binders, large structural components can be made with complex constructions because the binders can be made in almost any length and shape. Traditionally, the binders are made of wood or wood-based materials. If the binders are made of glued laminated timber, then pre-sorted and liberated woods are used here. By connecting the wood to glued laminated timber elements, based on identical cross-sections, a load-bearing capacity of up to 80 percent can be achieved compared to solid wood. In comparison to solid wood, larger cross-sections and the production of curved beams are also possible. Compared to pure steel and prestressed concrete constructions, the glued laminated timber elements offer advantages in terms of weight and chemical resistance at a similar price.

Zur Herstellung der Brettschichtholzelemente werden die Schnitthölzer oder Lamellen zunächst einer Gütesortierung und Paketbildung unterzogen. Es kann auch eine Keilverzinkung der Lamellen durchgeführt werden, um größere Spannbreiten der fertigen Brettschichtholzelemente realisieren zu können. Die Lamellen werden anschließend beleimt in eine spezielle Presse eingeführt und verpresst. Nach Abbinden des Leimes erfolgt die Entnahme des Brettschichtholzelements aus der Presse und die abschließende Hobelung, Verpackung und der Abtransport der fertigen Binder.To produce the glued laminated timber elements, the lumbers or lamellae are first subjected to a quality sorting and package formation. It can also be a wedge galvanizing of the slats are carried out in order to realize larger margins of the finished glued laminated timber elements. The slats are then glued inserted into a special press and pressed. After setting the glue, the removal of the glued laminated timber element from the press and the final planing, packaging and removal of the finished binder takes place.

Taktzeitbestimmend bei der Produktion der Binder ist die Verarbeitungs- und Aushärtezeit des jeweils verwendeten Leims. Als Klebstoffe verwendet werden Kondensationsharze wie beispielsweise Melamin- oder Resorcinharze, aber auch ein- oder mehrkomponentige, feuchtigkeitsvernetzende Polyurethan- oder Emulsion-Polymer-Isocyanatklebstoffe. Die flüssigen Klebstoffe härten unter Einfluss von Material- und Luftfeuchte und/oder Umgebungs- sowie Materialtemperatur zu einer hochfesten, wasserbeständigen und dauerhaften Klebefuge aus. Besondere Bedeutung kommt der Verarbeitungszeit, der sog. "offenen Zeit" des Klebstoffes zu, die bei bisher verwendeten Klebstoffen zwischen 20 Minuten und zwei Stunden beträgt. Während dieser Zeitspanne ist eine Stapelung und Ausrichtung der Lamellen, die Einbringung der Stapel in die Presse und die Druckbeaufschlagung der Stapel möglich. Unmittelbar an die Verarbeitungszeit schließt sich die Aushärtezeit an, die zwischen einer und sieben Stunden beträgt. Während dieser Zeit muss der Leimbinder im druckbeaufschlagten Zustand in der Presse verbleiben, damit die Klebestellen die Anforderungen an die Anfangsfestigkeit nach Abschluss der Aushärtezeit erfüllen. Die Endfestigkeit wird in der Regel erst nach mehreren Stunden erreicht, wobei ein Verbleib der Werkstücke in der Presse hierbei nicht mehr obligatorisch ist. Durch die Verwendung von Einkomponentenklebstoffen werden die Rüstzeiten bereits signifikant verkürzt und zudem Fehlverleimungen infolge von Misch- und Dosierfehlern ausgeschlossen. Zudem bedürfen moderne Klebstoffe keiner Temperaturzugabe und ermöglichen somit wirtschaftliche Fertigungsabläufe.Cycle time determining during the production of the binder is the processing and curing time of the glue used in each case. As adhesives are used condensation resins such as melamine or Resorcinharze, but also one- or multi-component, moisture-curing polyurethane or emulsion polymer isocyanate adhesives. The liquid adhesives cure under the influence of material and humidity and / or ambient and material temperature to a high-strength, water-resistant and permanent adhesive joint. Of particular importance is the processing time, the so-called. "open time" of the adhesive, which is between 20 minutes and two hours for previously used adhesives. During this period, stacking and alignment of the slats, the introduction of the stacks into the press and the pressurization of the stacks is possible. Immediately after the processing time, the curing time follows, which is between one and seven hours. During this time, the laminated beam must remain in the press under pressure, so that the splices meet the initial strength requirements after the completion of the curing time. The ultimate strength is usually reached after several hours, with a whereabouts of the workpieces in the press is no longer mandatory. By using one-component adhesives, the set-up times are already significantly shortened and, in addition, mis-gluing due to mixing and metering errors is ruled out. In addition, modern adhesives require no temperature addition and thus enable economical production processes.

Neuerdings werden jedoch Klebstoffe mit Verarbeitungszeiten von zwei bis fünf Minuten und Aushärtezeiten zwischen acht und 15 Minuten angeboten, die die Taktzeiten bei der Herstellung von Brettschichtholzelementen entsprechend weiter verkürzen. Um diese Taktzeitverkürzung für Produktionssteigerungen bei der Herstellung von Brettschichtholz bzw. Leimbindern nutzen zu können, muss neben einer beschleunigten Bildung der Lamellenstapel auch eine zügige Beschickung der Presse innerhalb der kurzen Bearbeitungszeit sowie die Nutzung von mehreren, auf die ebenfalls verkürzten Aushärtezeiten der Klebstoffe abgestimmten Pressen in Auge gefasst werden.Recently, however, adhesives are offered with processing times of two to five minutes and curing times between eight and 15 minutes, which further shorten the cycle times in the production of glulam elements accordingly. In order to be able to use this cycle time reduction for production increases in the production of glulam or laminated beams, in addition to an accelerated formation of the lamella stack also a rapid loading of the press within the short processing time and the use of several, also on the shortened curing times of the adhesives tuned presses in Be caught.

Die DE 102 24 793 schlägt eine Anlage zum Herstellen von Brettschichtholz vor, bei der in der Produktionslinie zwei Pressen parallel angeordnet sind und bei der das die Verleimstation verlassende Schichtholz über eine Weicheneinrichtung wahlweise einer der beiden Pressen zugeführt wird. Nach dem Pressvorgang werden die verpressten Werkstücke wiederum über eine Weicheneinrichtung der Weiterbearbeitung zugeführt.
Als nachteilig an dieser Anlage ist anzusehen, dass kein linearer Transfer der vorbereiteten Holz oder Werkstoffstapel innerhalb der Produktionslinie möglich ist, sondern stets eine Umlenkung des Stapels erfolgt, was zu einem Verrutschen der Stapelbestandteile führen kann. Es wird daher ein zusätzlicher Ausrichtungsschritt vor dem Schließen der Presse nötig, der nur schwer in die sehr kurze "offene" Bearbeitungszeit des Klebstoffes eingetaktet werden kann und bei eventuell auftretendem Materialstau dazu führt, dass der gesamte Holz- oder Werkstoffstapel verworfen werden muss.The DE 102 24 793 proposes a plant for the production of glued laminated timber, in which two presses are arranged in parallel in the production line and in which the laminated wood leaving the gluing station is selectively fed to one of the two presses via a turnout device. After the pressing process, the pressed workpieces are in turn fed via a turnout device for further processing.
A disadvantage of this system is to be considered that no linear transfer of the prepared wood or material stack within the production line is possible, but always a deflection of the stack takes place, which can lead to slippage of the stack components. It will therefore require an additional alignment step before closing the press, which can be difficult to clock in the very short "open" processing time of the adhesive and leads to any accumulation of material leads to the entire wood or material stack must be discarded.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Pressenanordnung zur Verfügung zu stellen, die die vorgenannten Nachteile überwindet, eine zügige und flexible Beschickung mehrerer Pressen mit beleimten und ausgerichteten Holz- oder Werkstoffstapeln innerhalb der Bearbeitungs- und Aushärtezeiten der verwendeten Klebstoffe ermöglicht und die aufgrund einer linearen Förderung der Holz- oder Werkstoffstapel bzw. fertig verpressten Werkstücke in Transferrichtung keine Neuausrichtung der Holz- oder Werkstoffstapel im Pressenraum notwendig macht. Zudem soll ein entsprechendes Verfahren angegeben werden.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a press arrangement which overcomes the aforementioned disadvantages, enables a rapid and flexible loading of several presses with glued and aligned wood or material stacks within the processing and curing times of the adhesives used and which due to a linear conveyance of the wood or material stacks or finished pressed workpieces in the transfer direction does not necessitate a realignment of the wood or material stacks in the press room. In addition, a corresponding method should be specified.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Pressenanordnung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 bzw. einem Verfahren nach Anspruch 14. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a press arrangement with the features of claim 1 and a method according to claim 14. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Dadurch dass sowohl die Pressenräume als auch die Zuführ-/Ausführvorrichtungen relativ zueinander bewegbar sind, lassen sich eine Vielzahl von Belade-/Entladekonfigurationen realisieren und so die ggf. kurzen Bearbeitungs- und Aushärtezeiten der verwendeten Klebstoffe besonders effizient nutzen. Dies gilt auch für das vorgeschlagene Verfahren.The fact that both the press rooms and the feed / Ausführvorrichtungen are relatively movable, a variety of loading / unloading configurations can be realized and thus use the possibly short processing and curing times of the adhesives used particularly efficient. This also applies to the proposed procedure.

Das Rahmenelement der im Produktionsprozess dem jeweiligen Pressenraum vorgelagerten Zuführvorrichtung beaufschlagt dabei die noch unausgerichteten Holz- oder Werkstoffstapel beispielsweise durch verschiebbare Schenkel, durch hydraulisch oder pneumatisch beaufschlagbare Druckelemente im Rahmen oder über Rollen, die im oder am Rahmen angeordnet sind. Wenigstens eine dieser Rollen kann zusätzlich angetrieben sein, um das Einfördern der ausgerichteten Holz- oder Werkstoffstapel in den Pressenraum zu unterstützen.The frame element of the upstream of the respective press room in the production process feeding acts on the still unoriented wood or material stacks, for example, by sliding legs, by hydraulically or pneumatically acted upon pressure elements in the frame or on rollers that are arranged in or on the frame. At least one of these rollers may be additionally driven to assist in conveying the aligned logs of wood or material into the press room.

Je nach Transferlinienkonfiguration und Produktionslayout wird es als besonders günstig angesehen, wenn die Zuführvorrichtung und die Ausführvorrichtung stationär und die Pressenräume bewegbar angeordnet sind. Somit entfällt eine Anpassung der der Zuführvorrichtung vorgelagerten bzw. der Ausführvorrichtung nachgelagerten Bearbeitungsstationen und es wird ein kontinuierlicher Lineartransfer der vorbereiteten Holz- bzw. Werkstoffstapel sowie der verpressten Werkstücke möglich.Depending on the transfer line configuration and production layout, it is considered to be particularly favorable if the feeding device and the delivery device are arranged to be stationary and the press spaces to be movable. Thus, an adjustment of the upstream of the feeder or the delivery device downstream processing stations and there is a continuous linear transfer of the prepared wood or material stack and the compressed workpieces possible.

Als besonders günstig erweist es sich, wenn die Pressenräume und/oder die Zuführvorrichtung und/oder die Ausführvorrichtung frei und/oder geführt bewegbar sind. Die Verbringung der Anordnungsglieder in ihre jeweils durch den Bearbeitungstakt vorgegebene Position kann dabei nach Art eines fahrerlosen Transportfahrzeuges erfolgen. Das jeweilige Anordnungsglied ist dabei in ein flurgebundenes Fördermittel mit eigenem Fahrantrieb integriert, wird automatisch gesteuert und berührungslos geführt und verfügt über eine Leitsteuerung, eine Einrichtung zur Standortbestimmung und zur Lageerfassung sowie über Einrichtungen zur Datenübertragung. Die Produktionsstätte weist dann zusätzlich eine entsprechende Infrastruktur und die zugehörigen peripheren Einrichtungen zum Betrieb derartiger Systeme auf.It proves to be particularly favorable if the press spaces and / or the feed device and / or the feed device can be moved freely and / or guided. The movement of the arrangement members into their respective predetermined by the processing cycle position can be carried out in the manner of a driverless transport vehicle. The respective arrangement member is integrated into a floor-bound conveyor with its own drive, is automatically controlled and guided without contact and has a control system, a device for determining location and for position detection and facilities for data transmission. The production facility then additionally has a corresponding infrastructure and the associated peripheral facilities for operating such systems.

Eine einfachere Ausgestaltung der Anordnung sieht vor, dass die bewegbaren Anordnungsglieder gleis- oder schienengebunden bewegt werden. Darüber hinaus ist die Verwendung aller gängigen Lineargleit- oder Linearwälzführungen in Verbindung mit entsprechenden Linearantrieben denkbar. Die Steuerung der Bewegung der Pressenräume und/oder der Zuführvorrichtung und/oder der Ausführvorrichtung erfolgt dabei bevorzugt manuell oder automatisch über eine Steuervorrichtung. Eine Steuervorrichtung kann dabei nach Art eines Steuerstandes zentral für eine oder mehrere Anlagen oder dezentral an jedem Anordnungsglied vorgesehen werden.A simpler embodiment of the arrangement provides that the movable assembly members are moved track or rail. In addition, the use of all common Lineargleit- or linear roller guideways in conjunction with corresponding linear actuators is conceivable. The control of the movement of the press rooms and / or the delivery device and / or the delivery device is preferably carried out manually or automatically via a control device. A control device can be provided centrally in the manner of a control station for one or more plants or decentralized to each arrangement member.

Als besonders günstig wird angesehen, wenn die Pressenräume, die Zuführvorrichtung und die Ausführvorrichtung einen zentralen Antrieb aufweisen und die jeweilige Bewegung der einzelnen Anordnungsteile über eine entsprechende Antriebssteuerung erfolgt. Als empfehlenswert wird auch angesehen, wenn die Pressenräume und die Zuführvorrichtung und/oder die Ausführvorrichtung getrennte Antriebe aufweisen. Als Antrieb ist hierbei jegliche Art von Linearantrieb vorstellbar. Um eine möglichst genaue Positionierung der Pressenräume, der Zuführvorrichtung und/oder der Ausführvorrichtung sicherzustellen, sind Positionierhilfen, insbesondere variable Anschlagkeile, für die Anordnungsglieder vorgesehen, die an oder in der jeweils verwendeten Linearführung vorgesehen sind. Eine Einstellung der Positionierhilfen erfolgt dabei entweder manuell oder automatisiert.It is considered particularly favorable if the press rooms, the feed device and the delivery device have a central drive and the respective movement of the individual arrangement parts takes place via a corresponding drive control. It is also considered to be recommendable if the press rooms and the feed device and / or the feed device have separate drives. The drive here is any kind of linear drive conceivable. In order to ensure the most accurate positioning of the press rooms, the feeder and / or the delivery device, positioning aids, in particular variable stop wedges, are provided for the arrangement members which are provided on or in the linear guide used in each case. An adjustment of the positioning aids takes place either manually or automatically.

Um eine möglichst genaue Produktionsdokumentation erstellen zu können, weisen die Zuführvorrichtung und die Ausführvorrichtung bevorzugt Erfassungsmittel für die Parameter des Holz- oder Werkstoffstapels bzw. des fertigen Werkstückes auf. Diese Erfassungsmittel können beispielsweise einen Weggeber umfassen, der die Dimensionen des in den Pressenraum eingeförderten Werkstoffstapels sowie des ausgeführten Werkstückes aufnimmt. Darüber hinaus können durch optische Abtastverfahren z.B. die Jahrringlage der Lamellen und die Qualität der Sichtflächen erfasst werden, um bereits vor dem abschließenden Hobeln der Werkstücke Informationen für nachgeordnete Ausflickstationen bereitstellen zu können. Ein weiteres Messelement ermittelt die für die Aushärtezeit wichtigen Parameter Holz- und Umgebungsfeuchte sowie Temperatur des Werkstoffstapels, um basierend auf diesen Werten die optimale Presszeit zu ermitteln. Um die gewonnenen Daten optimal und ohne Zeitverzögerungen in den Produktionszyklus integriert auswerten zu können, weist die erfindungsgemäße Pressenanordnung bevorzugt eine Speicher- und/oder Auswerteeinheit für die ermittelten Parameter auf, die beispielsweise direkt mit dem Steuerstand der Anlage verbunden ist und entweder Informationen an den Bediener ausgibt oder die Anlage automatisch steuert bzw. an die ermittelten Parameter anpasst.In order to be able to produce as accurate a production documentation as possible, the supply device and the delivery device preferably have detection means for the parameters of the wood or material stack or of the finished workpiece. These detection means may comprise, for example, a displacement sensor which receives the dimensions of the material stack conveyed into the press space and of the executed workpiece. In addition, by optical scanning techniques, e.g. The annual ring position of the lamellas and the quality of the visible surfaces are recorded in order to be able to provide information for downstream outstations before the final planing of the workpieces. Another measuring element determines the important parameter for the curing time wood and ambient moisture as well as temperature of the material stack, in order to determine the optimal pressing time based on these values. In order to evaluate the data obtained optimally and without time delays integrated into the production cycle, the press arrangement according to the invention preferably has a memory and / or evaluation unit for the determined parameters, which is for example connected directly to the control station of the system and either information to the operator or automatically controls the system or adapts it to the determined parameters.

Further advantages, features and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred, but not limiting embodiment of the invention with reference to the schematic and not to scale. It shows:
  • Fig. 1 a preferred embodiment of the press arrangement in plan view.
  • In the Fig. 1 shown press assembly 10 comprises a total of three press rooms 11, which are arranged to be movable. The press rooms 11 are combined to form a central element of the press order 10, firmly connected to each other and moved together. The movement of the press chambers 11 takes place perpendicular to its longitudinal direction, ie transversely to the here from left to right extending transfer direction. The press rooms 11 are placed on tracks 20, which determine the direction of movement. To move the press chambers 11, the press assembly 10 of the Fig. 1 a linear drive in the form of an electric motor 12 with spindle drive 18, which is due to its power in a position to move the three press rooms 11. By the spindle drive 18 a well controllable start and deceleration in a narrow tolerance range is possible. The press assembly 10 comprises on the in Fig. 1 left side additionally a stationary arranged feed device 13, the conveying elements 14, in the embodiment of Fig. 1 a belt conveyor, for introducing the wood stack 15 in each coupled to the feeder 13 press room 11 has.
  • The press room 11 is preceded by a connected to the feeder 13 frame 16 for aligning the wood stack 15 before pressing. The press rooms 11 also have conveying elements 14 for transferring the wood stacks 15 into the press room 11 and for discharging the finished pressed workpieces (in FIG Fig. 1 not shown) to the Ausführvorrichtung 17. The conveying elements 14, in the embodiment of Fig. 1 designed as a roller conveyor, each have their own drive 19, which is automatically synchronized when coupling the supply device 13 to the press room 11 with the corresponding drive 19 of the conveyor elements 14 of the feeder 13. The expander 17 is in the embodiment of Fig. 1 arranged on the right side of the press rooms 11, so that there is a loading or unloading of the press rooms 11 at the respective opposite end faces 21a, b of the press rooms 11.

Denkbar ist allerdings auch eine parallele Anordnung der Zuführvorrichtung 13 und der Ausführvorrichtung 17 auf einer der Stirnseiten 21 a,b der Pressenräume 11, sodass der zu entladende Pressenraum 11 jeweils vor die Ausführvorrichtung 17 verfahren wird. Der zu entladende Pressenraum 11 ist dabei so weit vom nächsten zu beladenden Pressenraum 11 beabstandet, dass simultan mit der Entladung des einen Pressenraumes 11 die Beladung des nächsten erfolgen kann. Auch die Ausführvorrichtung 17 weist entsprechende Förderelemente 14 auf, deren Antrieb 19 mit den Antrieben 19 der Förderelemente 14 der Pressenräume 11 und der Zuführvorrichtung 13 synchronisierbar ist. Durch die gezeigte Anordnung von Zuführvorrichtung 13, Pressenräumen 11 und Ausführvorrichtung 17 kann ein Holzstapel 15 bzw. ein fertiges Werkstück in Transferrichtung ohne Umlenken und/oder Richtungswechsel durch alle Produktionsstationen transportiert werden, wodurch eine nicht unerhebliche Reduzierung der Taktzeiten bei der Leimbinderherstellung einhergeht, die neben Kapazitätssteigerungen auch zu Kosteneinsparungen aufgrund besserer Anlagenauslastung führt. Diese Vorteile gelten auch für das angegebene Verfahren, das bevorzugt die vorstehend beschriebene Pressenanordnung verwendet.It is also conceivable, however, a parallel arrangement of the feed device 13 and the Ausführvorrichtung 17 on one of the end faces 21 a, b of the press rooms 11, so that the press room to be unloaded 11 is moved in each case in front of the Ausführvorrichtung 17. The press room 11 to be unloaded is spaced so far from the next press room 11 to be loaded that simultaneously with the discharge of the one press room 11, the loading of the next can take place. The delivery device 17 also has corresponding conveying elements 14, the drive 19 of which can be synchronized with the drives 19 of the conveying elements 14 of the press spaces 11 and the feeding device 13. Due to the arrangement shown supply device 13, press chambers 11 and expander 17, a wood stack 15 and a finished workpiece can be transported in the transfer direction without deflecting and / or direction change through all production stations, whereby a significant reduction in cycle times in the glue beam production goes along with Capacity increases also lead to cost savings due to better plant utilization. These advantages also apply to the specified method, which preferably uses the press arrangement described above.
