Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung zum Bearbeiten einer in einer Vorschubrichtung bewegten, bedruckten Materialbahn. Dabei erfolgt das Bedrucken der Materialbahn vorzugsweise mittels eines Digitaldruckers.The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing a printed material web moved in a feed direction. The printing of the material web is preferably carried out by means of a digital printer.

Es ist bekannt, in einem Digitaldrucker bedruckte, endlose Materialbahnen in einer an den Digitaldrucker anschliessenden Verarbeitungslinie zu Endprodukten zu verarbeiten. Dabei ist es erwünscht, dass mit ein und derselben Verarbeitungslinie verschiedenartige Endprodukte hergestellt werden können. Das Dokument EP 0 107 126 offenbart ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Bearbeiten einer bedruckten Materialbahn.It is known to process in a digital printer printed, endless webs in a subsequent to the digital printer processing line to end products. It is desirable that various end products can be made with one and the same processing line. The document EP 0 107 126 discloses a method and apparatus for processing a printed web.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zu Grunde ein Verfahren bzw. eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, das bzw. die es erlaubt, zeit- und platzsparend bedruckte Materialbahnen auf unterschiedliche Weise bearbeiten zu können.The present invention is based on the object of providing a method and / or a device which allows to process time-saving and space-saving printed material webs in different ways.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss mit einem Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 bzw. einer Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 11 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention with a method having the features of claim 1 and a device having the features of claim 11.

Da zwei Bearbeitungsstrecken vorgesehen sind, die ein unterschiedliches Bearbeiten einer bedruckten Materialbahn erlauben und die wahlweise benutzt werden, können in ein und derselben Verarbeitungslinie Produkte unterschiedlicher Art hergestellt werden. Das Anordnen der Bearbeitungsstrecken übereinander verkürzt die Verarbeitungslinie, was zu einer platzsparenden Bauweise führt. Zu einer solchen platzsparenden Bauweise trägt auch der Einsatz eines dachförmig ausgebildeten Falzorgans zum Längsfalzen der Materialbahn bei. Das Umstellen von einer Bearbeitungsart auf die andere Bearbeitungsart, d.h. das Umstellen von einer Bearbeitung der Materialbahn in der einen Bearbeitungsstrecke auf eine Bearbeitung in der andern Bearbeitungsstrecke, kann auf einfache weise dadurch erfolgen, dass bei Nichtbenutzung der einen Bearbeitungsstrecke diese in eine Ausserbetriebsstellung, in der sie sich ausserhalb der Bewegungsbahn der Materialbahn befindet, bewegt wird, vorzugsweise durch ein seitliches Verschieben.Since two processing lines are provided, which permit different processing of a printed material web and which are optionally used, products of different types can be produced in one and the same processing line. The arrangement of the processing lines on each other shortens the Processing line, which leads to a space-saving design. Such a space-saving construction also contributes to the use of a roof-shaped folding member for longitudinal folding of the material web. Switching from one type of processing to the other type of processing, ie the switching from a processing of the material web in one processing section to a processing in the other processing section, can be done in a simple manner that when not using the one processing line this in a shutdown position, in the it is outside the path of movement of the web, is moved, preferably by a lateral displacement.

Bevorzugte Weiterausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens und der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung bilden Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.Preferred further developments of the inventive method and the inventive device form the subject of the dependent claims.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen rein schematisch:

Unter Bezugnahme auf die Fig. 1 und 2 sowie 4 und 5 wird zunächst der Aufbau der erfindungsgemässen Bearbeitungsvorrichtung 1 beschrieben.With reference to the Fig. 1 and 2 4 and 5, the construction of the processing device 1 according to the invention will first be described.

Diese Bearbeitungsvorrichtung 1 weist eine erste Bearbeitungsanordnung 2 mit einer ersten Bearbeitungsstrecke 3 sowie eine zweite Bearbeitungsanordnung 4 mit einer zweiten Bearbeitungsstrecke 5 auf. Die Bearbeitungsanordnung 2 gehört zu einer ersten Bearbeitungseinheit 6, während die zweite Bearbeitungsanordnung 4 zu einer zweiten Bearbeitungseinheit 7 gehört. Die beiden Bearbeitungseinheiten 6 und 7 sind übereinander angeordnet und weisen einen gemeinsamen Eingang 8 für die zu bearbeitende Materialbahn 9 auf.This processing device 1 has a first processing arrangement 2 with a first processing section 3 and a second Processing arrangement 4 with a second processing section 5. The processing arrangement 2 belongs to a first processing unit 6, while the second processing arrangement 4 belongs to a second processing unit 7. The two processing units 6 and 7 are arranged one above the other and have a common input 8 for the material web 9 to be processed.

Die durch den Eingang 8 in die Bearbeitungsvorrichtung 1 einlaufende Materialbahn 9 durchläuft ein Bremswalzenpaar 10, dem in Laufrichtung D der Materialbahn 9 eine nur schematisch angedeutete Längsschneideinrichtung 11 nachgeschaltet ist. Wie die Fig. 5 zeigt, weist diese Längsschneideinrichtung 11 eine Bahnschneideeinheit 11a auf, die zum Längsschneiden der Materialbahn 9 entlang einer zur Vorschubrichtung D parallelen Linie dient. Zur Längsschneideinrichtung 11 gehören noch Randschneideeinheiten 11b und 11c, die dazu dienen, bei Bedarf die Randabschnitte 9' und 9'' der Materialbahn 9 wegzuschneiden. Hinter der Längsschneideinrichtung 11 ist eine Umlenkwalze 12 angeordnet. Das Bremswalzenpaar 10, die Längsscheideinrichtung 11 sowie die Umlenkwalze 12 sind in der unteren Bearbeitungseinheit 7 untergebracht und gehören sowohl zur ersten Bearbeitungsstrecke 3 wie auch zur zweiten Bearbeitungsstrecke 5.The incoming through the entrance 8 into the processing device 1 web 9 passes through a pair of brake rollers 10, which is followed in the direction D of the web 9 a only schematically indicated longitudinal cutting device 11. As the Fig. 5 shows, this longitudinal cutting device 11 has a web cutting unit 11a, which serves for longitudinal cutting of the material web 9 along a direction parallel to the feed direction D line. The longitudinal cutting device 11 also includes edge cutting units 11b and 11c, which serve to cut away the edge sections 9 'and 9''of the material web 9 as needed. Behind the longitudinal cutting device 11, a guide roller 12 is arranged. The pair of brake rollers 10, the longitudinal separating device 11 and the deflecting roller 12 are accommodated in the lower processing unit 7 and belong both to the first processing line 3 and to the second processing line 5.

Die erste Bearbeitungsstrecke 3 weist ferner ein Transportwalzenpaar 13 und eine Perforiereinheit 14 auf, die beide in der oberen Bearbeitungseinheit 6 untergebracht sind. Die Perforiereinheit 14 dient dazu, eine Längsperforation 15 (Abrissperforation) herzustellen. Es ist aber auch möglich, die Perforiereinheit 14 so einzustellen, dass die Perforationslinie 15 in der vorgesehenen Falzlinie liegt. Der Perforiereinheit 14 ist eine Rilleinheit 16 nachgeschaltet, die in der Materialbahn 9 eine Rillung 17 erzeugt, welche entlang der vorgesehenen Falzlinie verläuft. Die Rilleinheit 16 kann aber auch entfallen. In diesem Fall erfolgt das Falzen ohne ein Rillung 17. Wie die Fig. 2 zeigt, kann diese Rillung 17 (und damit die Falzlinie) bezüglich der Mittellinie der Materialbahn 9 seitlich versetzt sein. In Vorschubrichtung D der Materialbahn 9 gesehen hinter der Rilleinheit 16 ist eine Bahnführungswalze 18 vorgesehen, an die ein dachförmiges Falzorgan 19 anschliesst, das in der Fig. 1 nur angedeutet ist. Dieses Falzorgan 19 dient dazu, auf an sich bekannte Weise die Materialbahn 9 entlang einer Falzlinie zu falzen. Die gefalzte Materialbahn läuft an einer zweiten Perforiereinheit 20 vorbei, welche eine Längsperforation 21 (Abrissperforation) erzeugt, die beide übereinanderliegenden Materialbahnstränge 9a, 9b durchdringt. Diese zweite Perforiereinheit 20 kann aber auch entfallen. Der Perforiereinheit 20 nachgeschaltet ist ein Transportwalzenpaar 22, auf das eine Tänzerwalze 23 folgt, die im Bereich des Ausgangs 24 der Bearbeitungsvorrichtung 1 angeordnet ist. In diesem Ausgangsbereich 24 ist weiter ein Zugwalzenpaar 25 vorgesehen. Dieses Zugwalzenpaar 25 ist beim in den Figuren gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel Teil einer nachgeschalteten Querschneideeinrichtung, die nicht weiter gezeigt ist. Es ist aber auch möglich, dieses Zugwalzenpaar 25 als Teil der Bearbeitungsvorrichtung 1 auszugestalten.The first processing line 3 further comprises a pair of transport rollers 13 and a perforating unit 14, both of which are accommodated in the upper processing unit 6. The perforating unit 14 serves to produce a longitudinal perforation 15 (tear-off perforation). But it is also possible, the perforating 14 so adjust that the perforation line 15 is in the intended fold line. The perforation unit 14 is followed by a groove unit 16 which generates a groove 17 in the material web 9 which extends along the intended fold line. However, the groove unit 16 can also be omitted. In this case, the folding takes place without a crease 17. Like the Fig. 2 shows, this groove 17 (and thus the fold line) with respect to the center line of the web 9 may be laterally offset. In the feed direction D of the web 9 seen behind the groove unit 16, a web guide roller 18 is provided, to which a roof-shaped folding member 19 connects, in the Fig. 1 only hinted at. This folding member 19 serves to fold the material web 9 along a folding line in a manner known per se. The folded material web passes by a second perforating unit 20, which produces a longitudinal perforation 21 (tear-off perforation), which penetrates both superposed material web strands 9a, 9b. However, this second perforation unit 20 can also be omitted. The perforation unit 20 is followed by a pair of transport rollers 22, which is followed by a dancer roller 23, which is arranged in the region of the output 24 of the processing device 1. In this exit region 24, a draw roller pair 25 is further provided. This Zugwalzenpaar 25 is in the embodiment shown in the figures part of a downstream cross-cutting device, which is not shown. But it is also possible to design this Zugwalzenpaar 25 as part of the processing device 1.

Die vorstehend beschriebenen, zur ersten Bearbeitungsstrecke 3 gehörenden Bauelemente 13, 14, 16, 18 - 20, 22 und 23 sind in der oberen Bearbeitungseinheit 6 untergebracht.The above-described components 13, 14, 16, belonging to the first processing line 3, 18-20, 22 and 23 are accommodated in the upper processing unit 6.

Wie insbesondere aus den Fig. 4 und 5 hervorgeht, gehören zur unteren zweiten Bearbeitungsanordnung 4 ausser dem Bremswalzenpaar 10, der Längsschneideinrichtung 11 und der Umlenkwalze 12, die in der zweiten Bearbeitungsanordnung 4 nur als Bahnführungswalze dient, Wendestangen 26, über die der eine Materialbahnstrang 9e geführt wird, sowie eine im Bereich des Ausgangs 24 angeordnete Bahnführungswalze 27.As in particular from the 4 and 5 It can be seen belonging to the lower second processing assembly 4 except the brake roller pair 10, the longitudinal cutting device 11 and the guide roller 12, which serves only as a web guide roller in the second processing assembly 4, turning bars 26 over which a web run 9e is performed, and one in the region of the output 24 arranged web guide roller 27th

Die beiden übereinander angeordneten Bearbeitungsanordnungen 2 und 4 werden - wie das noch beschrieben werden wird - wechselweise eingesetzt. Soll die Materialbahn 9 in der oberen Bearbeitungsstrecke 2 bearbeitet werden, das heisst gefalzt werden, so befindet sich die obere Bearbeitungseinheit 6 in ihrer in der Fig. 7 gezeigten Betriebsstellung, in der sie sich oberhalb der unteren Bearbeitungseinheit 7 und damit in der Bewegungsbahn der Materialbahn 9 befindet.The two superposed processing arrangements 2 and 4 are - as will be described - used alternately. If the material web 9 are to be processed in the upper processing section 2, that is folded, so is the upper processing unit 6 in their in the Fig. 7 shown operating position in which it is above the lower processing unit 7 and thus in the path of movement of the web 9.

Soll dem gegenüber eine Bearbeitung der Materialbahn 9 in der unteren, zweiten Bearbeitungsstrecke 5 erfolgen, so wird die obere Bearbeitungseinheit 6 in ihre in der Fig. 8 dargestellte Ausserbetriebsstellung verbracht. Dies geschieht durch ein seitliches Verschieben der oberen Bearbeitungseinheit 6 in einer Richtung E, die rechtwinklig zur Vorschubrichtung D der Materialbahn 9 verläuft, wie das in Fig. 8 dargestellt ist. In dieser Ausserbetriebsstellung befindet sich die obere Bearbeitungseinheit 6 somit seitlich der Bewegungsbahn der Materialbahn 9.If, on the other hand, processing of the material web 9 in the lower, second processing section 5 takes place, then the upper processing unit 6 becomes in its in the Fig. 8 shown spent out of order. This is done by a lateral displacement of the upper processing unit 6 in a direction E, which is perpendicular to the feed direction D of the web 9, as in Fig. 8 is shown. In this inoperative position, the upper processing unit 6 is thus located laterally of the path of movement of the material web 9.

Nachfolgend wird nun beschrieben, wie die Bearbeitung der Materialbahn 9 entweder in der oberen, ersten Bearbeitungsstrecke 3 oder in der unteren, zweiten Bearbeitungsstrecke 5 erfolgt.Hereinafter will be described how the processing of the material web 9 either in the upper, first Machining distance 3 or in the lower, second processing section 5 takes place.

Anhand der Fig. 1 - 3 wird nun das Bearbeiten der Materialbahn 9 in der oberen Bearbeitungsstrecke 3 erläutert.Based on Fig. 1-3 Now the editing of the material web 9 is explained in the upper processing section 3.

Wie die Fig. 2 zeigt, wird die Materialbahn 9 in einer Schleife S dem Eingang 8 der Bearbeitungsvorrichtung 1 zugeführt. Die Zugspannung in der die Bearbeitungsvorrichtung 1 durchlaufenden Materialbahn 9 wird durch das Bremswalzenpaar 10 und das Zugwalzenpaar 25 erzeugt. Beim Vorbeilaufen der Materialbahn 9 an der Längsschneideinrichtung 11 werden die Randabschnitte 9' und 9'' (Fig. 2) abgetrennt. Die Bahnschneideeinheit 11a ist dabei nicht aktiviert. Anschliessend wird die Materialbahn 9 über die Umlenkwalze 12 nach oben in die obere Bearbeitungseinheit 6 geführt. Die Materialbahn 9 läuft dann durch das Transportwalzenpaar 13 hindurch und wird anschliessend mittels der Perforiereinheit 14 mit einer Längsperforation 15 versehen. Mittels der nachfolgenden Rilleinheit 16 wird die Materialbahn 9 entlang der vorgesehenen Falzlinie mit einer Längsrillung 17 versehen, die beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel gegenüber der Mittellinie der Materialbahn 9 seitlich versetzt ist. Hinter der Bahnführungswalze 18 läuft die Materialbahn 9 über das dachförmige Falzorgan 19, was zu einem Falzen der Materialbahn 9 entlang der Rillung 17 zur Folge hat. Die Materialbahn 9 wird unter Zugspannung über das Falzorgan 19 geführt. Diese Zugspannung wird durch das vor dem Falzorgan 19 angeordnete Transportwalzenpaar 13 und das hinter dem Falzorgan 19 angeordnete Transportwalzenpaar 22 erzeugt. Mittels der Perforiereinheit 20 werden die beiden übereinanderliegenden Materialbahnstränge 9a, 9b der gefalzten Materialbahn 9 mit einer Längsperforation 21 versehen. Die aus der ersten, oberen Bearbeitungseinheit 6 austretende gefalzte Materialbahn 9 wird über die Tänzerwalze 23 geführt und gelangt zum Zugwalzenpaar 25, das wie bereits erwähnt zur nachfolgenden Bearbeitungseinheit, das heisst einer Querschneideinheit, gehört.As the Fig. 2 shows, the web 9 is fed in a loop S the input 8 of the processing device 1. The tension in the processing device 1 continuous material web 9 is generated by the pair of brake rollers 10 and the Zugwalzenpaar 25. When passing the material web 9 on the longitudinal cutting device 11, the edge portions 9 'and 9''( Fig. 2 ) separated. The web cutting unit 11a is not activated. Subsequently, the material web 9 is guided over the guide roller 12 upwards into the upper processing unit 6. The material web 9 then passes through the transport roller pair 13 and is subsequently provided with a longitudinal perforation 15 by means of the perforation unit 14. By means of the following groove unit 16, the material web 9 is provided along the intended folding line with a longitudinal groove 17 which is laterally offset in the embodiment shown with respect to the center line of the web 9. Behind the web guide roller 18, the web 9 passes over the roof-shaped folding member 19, resulting in a folding of the web 9 along the groove 17 result. The material web 9 is guided under tension over the folding member 19. This tension is generated by the transport roller pair 13 arranged in front of the folding member 19 and the transport roller pair 22 arranged behind the folding member 19. By means of the perforating unit 20, the two superimposed web strands 9a, 9b of the folded material web 9 is provided with a longitudinal perforation 21. The folded material web 9 emerging from the first, upper processing unit 6 is guided over the dancer roller 23 and reaches the draw roller pair 25 which, as already mentioned, belongs to the following processing unit, ie a cross cutting unit.

Wie die Fig. 3 zeigt, liegt der schmalere Materialbahnstrang 9b unterhalb des breiteren Materialbahnstranges 9a. Der Falz liegt dabei in Vorschubrichtung D der Materialbahn 9 gesehen auf der linken Seite. Durch Umstellen des Falzorgans 19 kann die Materialbahn 9 auch derart gefalzt werden, dass der Falz in Vorschubrichtung D der Materialbahn 9 gesehen auf der rechten Seite liegt. Durch Verstellen der Rilleinheit 16 und des Falzorganes 19 in einer rechtwinklig zur Vorschubrichtung D der Materialbahn 9 verlaufenden Richtung kann die Lage der Rillung 17 und der Falzlinie verändert werden. Auf diese Weise lässt sich die Breite der Materialbahnstränge 9a und 9b einstellen.As the Fig. 3 shows, is the narrower material web strand 9b below the wider web strand 9a. The fold lies in the feed direction D of the web 9 seen on the left side. By changing the folding member 19, the web 9 can also be folded so that the fold in the feed direction D of the web 9 is seen on the right side. By adjusting the groove unit 16 and the folding member 19 in a direction perpendicular to the feed direction D of the web 9 extending direction, the position of the groove 17 and the fold line can be changed. In this way, the width of the web strands 9a and 9b can be adjusted.

Soll nun die Materialbahn 9 statt wie beschrieben in der ersten Bearbeitungsstrecke 3 in der unteren, zweiten Bearbeitungsstrecke 5 bearbeitet werden (Fig. 4 - 6), so wird die obere Bearbeitungseinheit 6 wie in den Fig. 7 und 8 gezeigt und anhand dieser Figuren bereits beschrieben in die Ausserbetriebsstellung verschoben. Befindet sich die Materialbahn 9 noch in der ersten, oberen Bearbeitungsstrecke 3, so muss bei dieser Umstellung vor dem Verschieben der oberen Bearbeitungseinheit 6 die Materialbahn 9 im Bereich der Umlenkwalze 12 durchgetrennt und in die zweite Bearbeitungsstrecke 5 eingeführt werden.If now the material web 9 instead of being processed as described in the first processing section 3 in the lower, second processing section 5 ( Fig. 4-6 ), the upper processing unit 6 becomes as in Figs FIGS. 7 and 8 shown and moved with reference to these figures already described in the inoperative position. If the material web 9 is still in the first, upper processing path 3, the material web 9 must be in the area of the. In this changeover before moving the upper processing unit 6 Guide roller 12 is severed and introduced into the second processing section 5.

Bei der in der Fig. 4 - 6 gezeigten Bearbeitung der Materialbahn 9 in der unteren, zweiten Bearbeitungsstrecke 5 wird die Materialbahn 9 ebenfalls in einer Schleife S dem Eingang 8 der Bearbeitungsvorrichtung 1 zugeführt. Der Transport der Materialbahn durch die Bearbeitungsstrecke 5 hindurch unter Zugspannung wird auch hier durch das Bremswalzenpaar 10 und das Zugwalzenpaar 25 übernommen. Beim Durchlaufen durch die Längsschneideinrichtung 11 werden mittels der Randschneideeinheiten 11b, 11c die Randabschnitte 9', 9'' weggeschnitten und die Materialbahn 9 mittels der Bahnschneideeinheit 11a entlang einer zur Vorschubrichtung D parallelen Linie in zwei Materialbahnstränge 9d und 9e aufgetrennt (Fig. 5). Der eine Materialbahnstrang 9d durchläuft die zweite Bearbeitungsstrecke 5 entlang einer im Wesentlichen geraden Bewegungsbahn, während der daneben liegende Materialbahnstrang 9e derart über Wendestangen 26 geführt wird, dass der in Vorschubrichtung D gesehen rechte Materialbahnstrang 9e unter den in Vorschubrichtung D gesehen linken Materialbahnstrang 9d zu liegen kommt, wie das aus der Fig. 6 ersichtlich ist. Man kann aber den Materialbahnstrang 9e auch so über die Wendestangen 26 führen, dass dieser Materialbahnstrang 9e über den anderen Materialbahnstrang 9d zu liegen kommt. Dieses Übereinanderlegen der zwei ursprünglich nebeneinander liegenden Materialbahnstränge 9d, 9e ist an sich bekannt. Die übereinander liegenden Materialbahnstränge 9d, 9e laufen an der Bahnführungswalze 27 vorbei und gelangen zum Zugwalzenpaar 25.When in the Fig. 4-6 shown processing the web 9 in the lower, second processing section 5, the web 9 is also fed in a loop S the input 8 of the processing device 1. The transport of the web through the processing section 5 through under tension is also taken over here by the pair of brake rollers 10 and the Zugwalzenpaar 25. When passing through the longitudinal cutting device 11, the edge sections 9 ', 9 "are cut away by means of the edge cutting units 11b, and the material web 9 is separated by the web cutting unit 11a along a line parallel to the feed direction D into two material web strands 9d and 9e (FIG. Fig. 5 ). The one material web strand 9d passes through the second processing section 5 along a substantially straight trajectory, while the adjacent material web strand 9e is guided over turning bars 26, that seen in the feed direction D right web strand 9e comes to rest under the left seen in the feed direction D web strand 9d like that from the Fig. 6 is apparent. However, it is also possible to guide the material web strand 9e over the turning bars 26 in such a way that this material web strand 9e comes to lie over the other material web strand 9d. This superposition of the two initially juxtaposed material web strands 9d, 9e is known per se. The superimposed web strands 9d, 9e run past the web guide roller 27 and reach the draw roller pair 25.

Es ist auch möglich, die Materialbahn 9 in der Längsschneideinrichtung 11 in mehr als zwei Materialbahnstränge aufzutrennen und anschliessend diese Materialbahnstränge übereinander zu legen.It is also possible to separate the material web 9 in the longitudinal cutting device 11 into more than two material web strands and then to place these web strands one above the other.

In den Fig. 9 - 12 ist eine andere Möglichkeit zur Bearbeitung der Materialbahn 9 in der oberen, ersten Bearbeitungsstrecke 3 gezeigt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform wird die Materialbahn 9 in der Längsschneideinrichtung 11 nicht nur am Rand beschnitten, sondern mittels der Bahnschneideeinheit 11a in zwei Materialbahnstränge 9a und 9c aufgetrennt. Der Materialbahnstrang 9a durchläuft die Bearbeitungsstrecke 3 auf dieselbe Art wie anhand der Fig. 1 und 2 beschrieben. Das heisst, der Materialbahnstrang 9a wird mit einer Längsperforation 15 und mit einer Rillung 17 versehen. Demgegenüber wird der Materialbahnstrang 9c von der Umlenkwalze 12 her direkt zum Falzorgan 19 geführt und vor diesem Falzorgan 19 von unten mit dem anderen Materialbahnstrang 9a zusammen gebracht. Wie die Fig. 11 zeigt, wird durch das Falzen des Materialbahnstranges 9a der Materialbahnstrang 9c in den gefalzten Materialbahnstrang 9a eingelegt. Wie die Fig. 10 und 11 erkennen lassen, ist der ungefalzte Materialbahnstrang 9a etwa doppelt so breit wie der andere Materialbahnstrang 9c.In the Fig. 9 - 12 Another possibility for processing the material web 9 in the upper, first processing section 3 is shown. In this embodiment, the material web 9 is cut in the longitudinal cutting device 11 not only at the edge, but separated by means of the web cutting unit 11a in two web strands 9a and 9c. The web strand 9a passes through the processing line 3 in the same manner as based on the Fig. 1 and 2 described. That is, the web strand 9a is provided with a longitudinal perforation 15 and with a groove 17. In contrast, the web strand 9c is guided by the guide roller 12 forth directly to the folding member 19 and brought in front of this folding member 19 from below with the other web strand 9a together. As the Fig. 11 shows, is inserted by the folding of the web strand 9a of the web strand 9c in the folded web strand 9a. As the 10 and 11 can recognize, the unfolded web strand 9a is about twice as wide as the other web strand 9c.

Wird jedoch die Materialbahn 9 in zwei etwa gleich breite Materialbahnstränge 9a, 9c aufgeteilt und der Materialbahnstrang 9c mit dem Materialbahnstrang 9a ausgerichtet dem Falzorgan 19 zugeführt, so entsteht das in Fig. 12 dargestellte Endprodukt, bei dem beide Materialbahnstränge 9a und 9c gefalzt sind.However, if the material web 9 divided into two approximately equal width web strands 9a, 9c and the web strand 9c aligned with the material web strand 9a fed to the folding member 19, the result is in Fig. 12 shown end product, in which both web strands 9a and 9c are folded.

Bei der in den Fig. 9 und 10 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist die Perforiereinheit 20 weggelassen. Es versteht sich jedoch, dass bei Bedarf auch bei dieser Ausführungsform eine solche Perforiereinheit 20 vorgesehen werden kann.In the in the FIGS. 9 and 10 As shown, the perforating unit 20 is omitted. However, it goes without saying that, if required, such a perforation unit 20 can also be provided in this embodiment.

Es ist selbstverständlich auch möglich, in der ersten oder zweiten Bearbeitungsstrecke 3 bzw. 5 andere als die beschriebenen Bearbeitungsschritte an der Materialbahn 9 vorzunehmen.It is of course also possible to perform in the first or second processing section 3 or 5 other than the described processing steps on the web 9.

Bei einer weiteren Variante kann in der Bearbeitungsvorrichtung 1 in Vorschubrichtung D gesehen hinter dem Falzorgan 19 bzw. hinter den Wendestangen 26 eine weitere Falzeinheit vorgesehen werden, um die bereits gefalzte Materialbahn 9 nochmals zu falzen bzw. die beiden übereinander liegenden Materialbahnstränge 9d, 9e zu falzen.In a further variant, a further folding unit can be provided in the processing device 1 in the feed direction D behind the folding member 19 or behind the turning bars 26 to fold the already folded material web 9 again or to fold the two superimposed web strands 9d, 9e ,

Anhand der Fig. 7 und 8 wurde beschrieben, dass die obere Bearbeitungseinheit 6 durch seitliches Verschieben aus der Bewegungsbahn der Materialbahn 9 heraus bewegt wird. Es ist aber auch möglich, diese erste Bearbeitungseinheit 6 durch Verschieben nach oben in die Ausserbetriebsstellung zu bringen.Based on FIGS. 7 and 8 has been described that the upper processing unit 6 is moved by lateral displacement out of the path of movement of the web 9 out. But it is also possible to bring this first processing unit 6 by moving it upwards into the inoperative position.

Bei den gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen wird die bearbeitete, die Bearbeitungsvorrichtung 1 verlassende Materialbahn 9 einem Querschneidapparat zugeführt. Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, anstelle eines solchen Querschneidapparates andersartige Bearbeitungsmodule vorzusehen.In the embodiments shown, the processed, the processing apparatus 1 leaving web 9 is fed to a cross cutter. Of course, it is also possible to provide other types of processing modules instead of such a cross-cutting apparatus.
