Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a guide roller 12 is arranged behind the longitudinal cutting device 11.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the groove unit 16 can also be omitted. In this case, the folding takes place without a crease 17.
  • this groove 17 (and thus the fold line) with respect to the center line of the web 9 may be laterally offset.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a draw roller pair 25 is further provided.
  • This Buchwalzencru 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 Buchwalzencru 25 as part of the processing device 1.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 Glaswalzencru 25.
  • the edge portions 9 'and 9''( Fig. 2 ) separated.
  • the web cutting unit 11a is not activated.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the narrower material web strand 9b below the wider web strand 9a 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.
  • the folding member 19 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.
  • the groove unit 16 and the folding member 19 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 Glaswalzencru 25.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the unfolded web strand 9a is about twice as wide as the other web strand 9c.
  • 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.
  • 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 ,
  • the processed, the processing apparatus 1 leaving web 9 is fed to a cross cutter.
  • a cross cutter it is also possible to provide other types of processing modules instead of such a cross-cutting apparatus.
