Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for setting up and adjusting a numbering machine, with the securities or security sheets are printed with an individual information, in particular a serial number.
  • the numbering machine consists of carrier disks and numbering units on these carrier disks, several numbering units being mounted on a carrier disk and several of these carrier disks being mounted on a shaft and the shaft being driven by at least one first drive element with at least one rotary encoder.
  • Each of these numbering machines prints the individual information on the security or the security sheet, whereby the individual information is changed in the next printing operation. For example, the value of the serial number when printing individual securities after printing is increased or decreased by one.
  • the adjustment of the position of the individual carrier discs and numbering of a numbering machine is done manually in the art.
  • the individual carrier discs on the shaft and the individual numbering each carrier disc are roughly positioned and locked according to a predetermined scheme.
  • a first pattern or a first pattern sheet is printed, the imprints of the individual numbering machines are measured and the correction values are calculated to the predetermined desired positions.
  • the individual positions of the carrier discs on the shaft and the individual numbering each carrier disc are manually corrected and printed again a pattern sheet. This process is repeated as long as until the positions of the imprints of the individual numbering machines on the security or the securities sheet lie within the error limits of the target positions.
  • a particular disadvantage is that this process is associated with a considerable amount of time and personnel. For example, it may take up to fourteen hours for the numbering machines of a numbering machine to be fully adjusted. During this time, the numbering machine will not be available for printing securities or securities bills.
  • US 4,512,256 A discloses the lateral adjustment of numbering discs by means of a scale and the adjustment in the circumferential direction by adjusting the shaft carrying the numbering disc via an alignment wheel.
  • the DE 36 18 488 A1 relates to a typographic numbering machine, wherein the numbering heads are controllable by means of at least one computer.
  • the control takes place via an "on-board" microcomputer carried on the numbering cylinder, the supply via an alternator.
  • the drive of the individual numbering wheels via electromagnets and the monitoring of the position of the numbering wheels on photoelectric detectors.
  • the character string to be printed is monitored by means of recording means whereby the character string set on the numbering head can be picked up.
  • the Recording means positioned on a guide profile parallel to the axis of rotation of the numbering cylinder.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide an apparatus and a method for setting up and adjusting a numbering machine, with the or the disadvantages of the prior art are eliminated.
  • an abutment device predetermines the desired position of the carrier discs and the respective numbering mechanisms on the corresponding carrier discs.
  • the abutment device is in this case guided parallel to the shaft of the numbering machine, wherein it is moved by a (in addition to the first drive element of the shaft) second drive element to the individual desired positions of each carrier disc.
  • the desired positions are determined as follows.
  • the paper of a signature before it undergoes any printing is usually rectangular. After the sheet otherwise has been completely printed, even before printing with the individual information by the numbering machine, the sheet is trapezoidal rolled or warped, the front of the sheet is shorter or in rare cases, longer than its rear side.
  • the trapezoidal Auswalzung usually not evenly on both sides, but more towards one side than to the other side. For example, a signature may be more heavily rolled toward its left side than to its right side.
  • this trapezoidal scaling may change depending on the order, for example, in a 32-job order, it may be different from a 50-job order.
  • the actual positions of the individual securities or benefits on the printed sheet in the horizontal and vertical direction, ie in the x and y direction, are first of all measured via a measuring device on the basis of an otherwise completely printed sheet which is still to be printed with the individual information determined. These data are called actual data.
  • the correction data for an actual optimum signature positioning are determined in the numbering machine. This applies in particular to the two front marks on which the printed sheet bears with its front side at the input of the numbering machine, and the side mark on which the printed sheet bears with one of its side edges.
  • the uneven trapezoidal Auswalzung be averaged so that the difference of the leading edge to the trailing edge of the sheet is divided in the lateral state of the numbering to the individual banknote by a means.
  • the abutment device is preferably a light-generating device with a light beam, for example a laser or a light source with focusing lenses, which predetermines the desired position with a light spot on the carrier plate or the numbering device.
  • the abutment device can also be designed as a mechanical stop or as a camera with a monitor with a crosshair.
  • Banknotes are usually printed with two or more serial numbers.
  • one serial number is horizontal and another serial number is vertically aligned, although of course any other orientation is possible, for example diagonally.
  • the numbering machine on two or more waves which are usually arranged in parallel one above the other.
  • the numbering machines are horizontal on one shaft and vertically aligned on the other shaft.
  • the abutment device may additionally be guided vertically to the shafts of the numbering machine and moved by a further drive element to the respective shafts.
  • the abutment device preferably emits an optical and / or acoustic signal for the operating personnel. This is the indication for the operating personnel that now the carrier disk can be locked on the shaft or the numbering unit on the carrier disk and the next carrier disk or the next numbering unit can be positioned.
  • the encoder specifies the individual nominal positions of the numbering units on the respective carrier discs.
  • the first drive element rotates the shaft until the desired position of the numbering machines is reached and then shuts off, so that the carrier disk stops at the desired position.
  • first carrier disk or first numbering unit can in this case be assigned to any carrier disk or any numbering unit and is not necessarily limited to an outer carrier disk or an external numbering unit.
  • second or each further carrier disk or the second or each further numbering unit need not necessarily be the geometrically closest carrier disk or numbering unit. Rather, the abutment device can use any carrier disk or any numbering unit which has not yet been adjusted as the next following carrier disk or the next following numbering unit.
  • the advantage of the invention is that the device and adjustment of a numbering machine is at least partially automated, whereby the time and personnel requirements can be significantly reduced. For example, with the device according to the invention and the method according to the invention, it takes only two hours until a numbering machine is completely set up and adjusted. As a result, it is advantageously possible to set up and adjust a numbering machine between different print jobs with only a slight loss of time.
  • Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show a conditioning device according to the invention in the form of a laser 4, which specifies the nominal position of a numbering unit 2 on a support disk 1, wherein the support disk is mounted on a shaft 3.
  • a laser beam 6 the target position 5 of the numbering 2 as a light spot on the numbering 2 before, for example according to Fig. 3 the position of the left number wheel of the numbering machine. Reference point here is the lower edge of the digit "0".
  • Fig. 4 shows the process in the device and adjustment of a carrier disk 1 and two numbering on this carrier disk 1 when using a laser with a fixed focus position, which can not be set to different distances between the laser and the object to be measured.
  • the laser gives according Fig. 4a the target position 5 of the first carrier disk 1 and thus also the first numbering unit 2 before.
  • the operating personnel now sets the numbering unit 2 on the carrier disk 1, releases the locking of the carrier disk 1 on the shaft 3 and pushes the carrier disk 1 in the direction of the desired position 5.
  • the desired position 5 in accordance Fig. 4b is reached, the numbering 2 is moved approximately in the direction of the target position 5.
  • the support disk 1 is again shifted slightly in the direction of the desired position 5, then the numbering unit 2 again, etc. This recursive process is repeated until both the numbering unit 2 and the carrier disk 1 have reached the desired position.
  • the abutment device emits an optical and / or acoustic signal.
  • the operating personnel is thus noted in addition to the optical positioning of the light spot of the target position 5 on the support disk 1 by an optical and / or acoustic signal that the target position the carrier disk 1 and the numbering unit 2 is reached.
  • the operator locks the carrier plate 1, which is now in its desired position, and acknowledges the process, for example, with a pressure on a corresponding button of a control.
  • the operator sets the numbering 2 on the support disk 1 and moves this until the reference point, in the example of Fig. 3 the lower edge of the left digit "0" coincides with the target position.
  • the investment device emits an optical and / or acoustic signal.
  • the operator locks the numbering 2 on the carrier plate 1, which is now in its desired position, and acknowledges the process, for example, with a pressure on a corresponding button of a control.
  • a first drive device rotates the shaft 3 until the encoder of the drive device gives a signal that the target position of the numbering is reached.
  • the rotary encoder stops the drive device, so that the shaft 3 and thus the carrier plate 1 stops at the target position of the numbering machine.
  • the operator sets the numbering on the support plate 1 and repeats the process of adjusting the previous numbering works accordingly.
  • the abutment device is in this case guided parallel to the shaft of the numbering machine, wherein it is moved by a second drive element to the individual desired positions of each carrier disc.
  • a security or security sheet can be printed with the configured and adjusted numbering machine for checking and the deviation of the printed individual information with the predetermined position checked.
  • the preferred positioning accuracy of the respective numbering units is 0.1 mm, i. the printed individual information should not differ by more than 0.1 mm from the given position.
