Definitions

  • the invention relates to a production system for printed products according to claim 6 and a sheet guiding device according to claim 1 and to a method for producing printed products according to claim 12.
  • Taschenfalzmaschine with a variety of Taschenfalzwerken goes out of the DE 10 2004 041 471 A1 out.
  • sheets are laid in portrait orientation in a feeder, parallel breaks are folded in a first folding station in pocket folders, and further parallel breaks are folded in a subsequent second folding station in pocket folders.
  • the second folding station is rotated by 90 ° to the first folding station.
  • a respective pocket folder consists of a folding pocket and three folding rollers, which are arranged in two pairs of folding rollers.
  • the WO 97/24284 A2 discloses a manufacturing system with a sheet guiding device, which alternately directs the sheets on two transport paths, ie, the function "sorting single stream" revealed.
  • a transverse application of the folded sheet requires an adjustment of the folding schemes and offers additional ways of saving paper and time.
  • the speed problem has been shifted to the second folding station when Queranlegen.
  • the reduced run-in length came into play in the feeder and in the first parallel folding unit, the full infeed length had to be transported again on the 90-degree turned second station. Therefore, a very high speed of the second station was necessary, which could lead to folding problems and quality reductions.
  • Combinations of printing machines with folding machines are also known from the prior art. So revealed the DE 195 23 881 A1 a rotary printing press with downstream processing unit, which has different folding stations, namely folding cylinder and Schwertfalzwerke. From the DE 196 29 072 A1 goes out a digital printing machine with downstream folding machine, the folding machine has Taschenfalzwerke.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to increase the productivity of the manufacturing process in the production of printed products, in particular signatures, brochures, newspapers and books, without increasing the speed of a folding machine used in the production.
  • the production system for flat printed products has a printing press and a - as seen in the transport direction - subsequently arranged, i. downstream intermediate processing and transfer station. Further below, i. farther downstream, at least one folding station, in particular a pocket folding station, is arranged.
  • the printed products are transportable through the manufacturing system in a continuous, continuous flow of material, i. there is no interim storage with required intervention of the machine operator for re-investment. Continuously, this does not mean that the printed products have to be transported unequally.
  • a sheet guiding device with a switchable sheet diverter is arranged between the intermediate processing and transfer station and the at least one folding station. This serves to pass the printed products onto a first or a second transport path.
  • the sheet guiding device Through the use of the sheet guiding device is achieved in an advantageous manner that the at least one folding station no longer represents the production bottleneck (so-called bottleneck or "bottle-neck") of the manufacturing system. Since it is made possible by the sheet guiding device to guide the two-dimensional printed products either on a first or a second transport path, and to supply further processing, the processing speed of the at least one subsequent folding machine no longer has to be increased in order to increase the production output of the production system.
  • bottleneck bottleneck
  • the printing press is a digital printing press. This ensures that the manufacturing system can produce print products with different content or printed products that consist of several differently printed single sheets in succession and without a great deal of time for machine conversions.
  • the printing machine is designed as a web-fed printing machine and the intermediate processing and transfer station has a cross-cutter for dividing a printing material web into individual sheets.
  • This can advantageously the folding accuracy of Bogenfalzstationen and the cost advantages of Material costs of a printing material web in contrast to a substrate sheet stack can be combined.
  • the intermediate processing and transfer station can have a collecting device for stacking individual sheets.
  • a collecting device for stacking individual sheets.
  • This may for example be a so-called drum collector, which is optionally equipped with a glue applicator for connecting the single sheet.
  • the individual sheets may also be single sheets with different print content, which together should form a printed product, for example a signature.
  • the stack formed by the collecting device can then be transferred to a subsequently arranged folding station and folded there to a brochure.
  • the sheet guiding device makes it possible to guide the folded sheets alternately on two (or more) transport paths, to align parallel to two (or more) rulers and the second folding station to transport. Since twice as many folded sheets can be transported in this way, the speed of the second station can thus be reduced by half.
  • productivity is significantly increased and on the other hand, improved by the low speed of the second station, the folding quality and the folding process made even more stable.
  • the transport directions of the first and second transport path are arranged substantially at right angles to each other, can lie in substantially parallel planes or in one plane, and the printed products can be fed on one transport path of a first folding station and on the second transport path of a second folding station. That is, downstream of the one transport path is a first folding station and downstream of the second transport path is a second folding station.
  • the two folding stations can be operated either in parallel. Or only one of the two folding stations is used for the production of the printed products, while the second folding station can already be preset for a subsequent production order.
  • Such a ausgestaltetes manufacturing system is particularly advantageous when it is the printing press to a digital printing press, as this reduces the machine downtime of the manufacturing system between two different production orders to a minimum or can be completely eliminated.
  • the sheet guiding device has a guide device for passing a printed product onto the second transport path, in other words: the guide serves to bridge over the first transport path. Possible embodiments of the guide will be described below.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing printed products of n different types, where n is equal to 1,2,3 ... a natural number.
  • the method is carried out in a manufacturing system comprising a digital printing machine, a sheet folding machine and a sheet guiding device, which in particular as above described, may be executed.
  • the sheet guiding device is designed as a switchable sheet diverter with n switching positions for passing the printed products on one of n subsequent transport paths.
  • the method comprises the following steps: First, the printing of a substrate with an n-th print content. If the printing material is a printing material web, it is subsequently separated into individual printing material sheets. Then the printing material sheets are folded into signatures. These are then passed through the sheet guiding device on one of the n transport paths on.
  • a first signature which has been folded from printing material sheet, which have a first printing content, directed to the first transport path.
  • an n-th printed product consists of a plurality of signatures
  • the above-described steps are repeated and the signatures are collected, for example in a cantilever. All of these steps are also performed to produce the other types of printed products. It is not necessary that a complete n-type product is first completed before a different type of print product is produced.
  • Such parallel production of various types of printed products is enabled by the sheet guiding apparatus having a sorting function.
  • the print content which is printed by the digital printing press on the substrate, an identification feature for identifying the type of printed product (such as a barcode, eg bar code or DataMatrix code).
  • This identification feature is read by a detection system, which is located upstream of the sheet guiding device and causes a control of the sheet guiding device.
  • the sheet guiding device is adjusted to its first switching position so that the printed product is directed onto the first transport path. It is also advantageous to provide additional monitoring and control systems (for example bar code readers and / or cameras) in the course of further processing for monitoring the product quality.
  • printed products of two types are produced, the printed product of the first type being a main print and the second printing product being a reprint, a so-called reprint.
  • the reprint is produced by the same manufacturing system.
  • the sheet guiding device is controlled so that the reprint is physically separated from the main production and directed to the second transport path, so that the reprinting is designed separately from the main pressure.
  • the reprint can later be manually fed to the print product at the correct location.
  • this variant of the method according to the invention significantly increases the productivity of the production system used.
  • printed products are produced in different versions. These may be, in particular, different language versions (eg German, English, French) or different country versions (eg Great Britain, USA, Australia) or different variant versions (eg manual variant pneumatic, variant hydraulic) or different container size versions (eg medicament with 20 tablets or 100 tablets).
  • These various versions are printed on the digital press in any order and subsequently conveyed through the sheet guide to a transport path associated with each version directed and sorted. After folding, the different versions of the signatures are separated into versions and can thus be forwarded separately to the end user.
  • This method has the advantage that a larger number of variants can be manufactured inexpensively without loss of productivity. This is particularly important for the production of printed products in small to medium runs.
  • the sheet guiding of the manufacturing system with the function of a curved switch can be advantageously carried out as described below sheet guiding device.
  • the sheet guiding device can be controlled mechanically or pneumatically in an advantageous manner.

It can be attached to the first folding station, it can be attached to one of the first folding station downstream transfer table or it can be designed as a standalone machine module with structure and rollers for moving the module, which can be positioned between the first folding station and the transfer table.
  • the sheet guiding device can also be used for true double flow or multiple flow, in which the first folding unit cuts the sheet (separating cut / middle cut):
  • the sheet divider can be split in the middle for processing a double flow and receives two positions that can be rotated against each other: Through Switching over to this permanent position, the first partial flow of the double flow is aligned on the first ruler and the second partial flow of the double flow on the second ruler and transported on to the second folding station.
