Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for folding sheets according to claim 1 and a folding machine for folding sheets according to the preamble of claim 5.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to describe a folding method and to provide a folding machine, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and does not require any structural modifications of existing folding units.
  • the invention relates to a method for overlapping folding of sheet-shaped elements, in particular of printed sheets of paper, cardboard and the like in a folding machine.
  • the folding machine has at least one folding station with at least one folding unit.
  • the arcuate elements are fed in advance in a transport direction with its front edge with a Studentsuppung the folding station.
  • the overlap corresponds at most to the first fold length.
  • a fold break is produced transversely to the transport direction in a respective arcuate element and the arcuate elements are folded upwards with a first fold length, ie the leading edge of a respective arcuate element is deposited on its upper side.
  • the fold is such that the distance between the stored front edge of a first arcuate element and the front edge of a subsequent not yet folded arcuate element is greater than or equal to zero. That is, the leading edges are spaced from each other even after the first fold or lie in the limit case to each other.
  • the leading edge of a first arcuate element is thus located in the transport direction downstream of the leading edge of a subsequent not yet folded arcuate element. This is ensures that a first incoming arcuate element and a subsequent incoming second arcuate element does not meet.
  • the uncoupled folding according to the invention can be carried out in a pocket folding station or a parallel sword folding station.
  • the Parallelhistfalzstation has a first upper and acting from above folding blade. After the above-mentioned over-folded seaming, the folded product produced thereby can be further processed by further folding, be it in subsequent folding units of the same folding station and / or in subsequent folding stations.
  • the invention also relates to a folding machine for folding sheets of paper, cardboard and the like with at least a first and a second folding station.
  • a transport device is arranged between the first and the second folding station.
  • the folding stations each have drive rollers driven by folding rollers;
  • the transport device also has a drive.
  • the drives are each connected to a common control unit and are controlled by this.
  • the transport speed of the first folding station is greater than the transport speed of the transport device and the second folding station.
  • Advantageously, thereby the products between the first and second folding station are transported overshadowing.
  • the second folding station is followed by a third folding station.
  • This can have pocket folders or Schwertfalzwerke.
  • at least one folding station is preceded by a device for applying adhesive to the products.
  • at least one folding station is arranged downstream of a device for trimming the products. By the device for applying adhesive and the device for trimming the products, it is possible in an advantageous manner to produce small books, so-called booklets, from the sheets.
  • at least one folding station is arranged downstream of a device for pressing the products. By squeezing the products can be prevented bulging of the products in an advantageous manner.
  • Fig. 1a are two arcuate elements, here two signatures 7a, 7b shown, which are transported in the transport direction T from a first folding station 3 to a second folding station.
  • the distance b between the first signature 7a and the second signature 7b is usually in the range of 5 to 8 cm.
  • the signatures 7a and 7b are folded three times, with bow parts with the same Dimension arise.
  • the arch parts are in Fig. 1a indicated: by the folds in the second folding station 4, a respective signature 7a, 7b divided into four equal parts.
  • Fig. 1b two signatures 7a, 7b are shown, which are transported from a first folding station 3 in the transport direction T to a second folding station 4.
  • the signatures 7a and 7b are thereby transported überuppt.
  • the second signature 7b covers the upstream end of the signature 7a.
  • Three folds are generated so that a respective signature 7a, 7b is divided into four equal parts of the sheet.
  • the overlap c is one quarter of the length of the signatures 7a, 7b.
  • spaced transport of the two signatures 7a and 7b has been for the überuppten transport according to Fig.
  • the second signature 7b is shifted in the transport direction T by the sum of the signature spacing b and the overlapping c.
  • the signatures 7a, 7b have to travel a smaller distance. Ie. at constant machine speed, ie transport speed, more signatures can be processed into finished folded products and the output of the folding machine 1 can be increased.
  • the application of the folding machine 1 can be maintained and the transport speed of the signatures 7a, 7b can be reduced, especially if it is difficult to process material, which requires a lower transport speed to ensure a high quality of the products.
  • Fig. 2a to 2c It is shown how the superimposed signatures 7a, 7b are folded in the pocket folders of the second folding station 4.
  • Fig. 2a a first snapshot is shown.
  • the signatures 7a, 7b are fed from a first folding station 3 via a feed table 9 in the transport direction T of the second folding station 4.
  • the signatures 7a, 7b have an overlapping c.
  • the first signature 7a has already entered the first folding pocket 11 at the top.
  • the pocket stop 12 of the folding pocket 11 was set to an inlet length (folding length) 14.
  • the inlet length 14 here corresponds to one third of the length of the signatures 7a, 7b.
  • Fig. 2b a second snapshot is shown.
  • the first signature 7a has already left the first folding folder 11 on the top, a first fold break has been produced by the folding rollers 15 and the first signature 7a is already in the second,
  • the second signature 7b runs straight into the first, top, folding pocket 11.
  • the setting of the inlet lengths 14 of the folding pockets 11 shown ensures that the signatures 7a and 7b do not meet in the second folding station 4 in such a way that relative speeds occur between the first signature 7a and the second signature 7b.
  • In the inlet region of the second folding station 4 below the transport roller 16 touch first signature 7a and second signature 7b, however, are moved at the same speed. Since there are no relative speeds between the first signature 7a and the second signature 7b, markings are prevented.
  • Fig. 2c represents a third snapshot.
  • the first signature 7a is already finished folded and is transported past a third folding pocket and discharged from the second folding station 4.
  • a curved switch 13 prevents the entry of the first signature 7a into the third folding pocket 11.
  • a first fold break is produced by the folding rollers 15.
  • first signature 7a and second signature 7b do not meet and there is no relative movement between the two signatures 7a, 7b.
  • the folding station 4 shown has three folding pockets 11. According to the invention, however, the folding station 4 could have any number of folding pockets 11.
  • FIG. 3a For example, two possible variants for the construction of a folding machine 1 are shown.
  • the folding machine according to Fig. 3a has a first folding station 3, which is designed as a pocket folder with a pocket, a second folding station 4, which is designed as Taschenfalzstation with at least three folding pockets and a third folding station 5, which is designed as a pocket folder with at least one folding pocket.
  • the run-in lengths of the respective folding pockets are given in brackets and refer to the length of each incoming bow.
  • a transverse center fold is generated.
  • the signature generated is fed via a Schrägrollentisch 10 of the second folding station 4.
  • Fig. 3c is another alternative construction of the folding machine 1 is shown.
  • the second folding station 4 is designed as Parallelhistfalzwerk.
  • the signatures are supplied to the Parallelhistfalzwerk from Schrägrollentisch 10 in an overlapped manner.
  • further parallel sword folds or pocket folders can follow according to the illustrated parallel sword fold.
