Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a printed product according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to transfer devices for carrying out such a method.
  • EP 1 559 573 A1 For example, a method for producing printed matter such as books, brochures, magazines or the like has become known.
  • printed sheets are each folded in a folding device in a printing press, conveyed to a stacking device and stacked in this to a book block.
  • At least one additional sheet is added to a single sheet and the product of sheet and the added sheet added is stacked and stacked as a unit.
  • the additional sheet is attached to a single sheet, the product of the single sheet and the supplement sheet is then stacked like the usual other sheets to the book block.
  • Supplementary sheets of the type mentioned can consist for example of illustrations, color images or sheets printed on special paper.
  • This book block with the inserted additional sheet can then be edited as usual, for example, bound by adhesive, cut, etc. It can also be inserted easily additional sheets. From this document also shows that the additional sheet with an investor withdrawn from a pile and then the single sheet can be added. It is also possible that the additional sheet is guided to a second conveyor and combined with this with a single signature, which is conveyed sequentially with a conveyor.
  • the second conveying device is in this case preferably charged with a feeder. If several different supplementary sheets are to be provided, it is provided here to use a plurality of feeders, each of which dispenses an additional sheet to this second conveying device. Thus, it is possible here to form a book block with several different supplementary sheets, which additional sheets can be integrated at different locations of the book block. However, it is here that the supplemental sheet is attached to a single sheet.
  • the invention aims to remedy this situation.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, the task is based on a method and a device of the type mentioned a printed sheet product flow split so controlled that it allows intervening clock gaps with Einsteckbogen resp. Additional sheet to provide.
  • the object of the invention is also to enable a consistent stacking of said sheet to a book block in the wake.
  • this object is achieved by proposing a method for producing a printed product, which comprises at least one Printed sheet and at least one additional sheet is composed. These sheets and supplementary sheets are printed sequentially. The printed sheets and / or the additional sheets are continuously assembled individually according to specific sequences within a transfer device and then selectively stacked.
  • the transfer device has spaced-apart spaces or receiving points, which are in tact-related operative connection to the transport speed of the individually supplied printed sheet and additional sheet, and thus ensure an endless promotion.
  • the individual brought-up printed sheet and additional sheet are cyclically targeted introduced into the individual spaces or receiving points within the transfer device.
  • the actual transport takes place along a certain arc angle or along a certain distance, depending on the embodiment of the transfer device. It is readily possible in such a conveyor that the individual additional sheets are not placed monotonously in the clock gaps of the transfer device, but they can be readily attached or attached to an already placed sheet, which maximizes the flexibility of the inventive method.
  • the essential advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the feeding and insertion of illustrations or the like into a printed product, for example in a book, is flexible and easy to carry out.
  • the supplying stream of printed sheets which essentially form the actual content of the printed product, is first transferred to a transfer device, wherein the cadence of the brought-up sheet and additional sheet is in a certain operative connection with the conveying speed of the transfer device in their operation. From this it can be provided that the cadence of the brought-up printed sheet or the conveying speed of the transfer device can be selected individually so that clocks can be omitted as a placeholder for the subsequently added additional sheet.
  • Such an operative connection between the individual operational Speeds can preferably be achieved with a comprehensive adaptive control.
  • Another essential advantage of the invention is to be seen in the fact that the conveyor system in the environment of the transfer device can be extended by means of a circulating chain with grippers (see to supplement this technical environment EP 1 312 568 ). Seen in this way, every second gripper can be fed with a printing sheet, whereby the position-relevant gripper can be fed by another product stream before or after an additional sheet, such that in a following step the said sheets are all taken out of the transfer device and stacked into book blocks can.
  • the method thus constructed allows very high speeds in the insertion process, which at the same time allow high speeds to print on-line the feeding streams in terms of both the signatures and the supplementary sheets.
  • Another advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the sheet, and if necessary, the additional sheet, can be produced with their content from a digital printing press, these sheets can also be printed sequentially. If a printed product is printed sequentially, this means that the digital printing press begins with the first printed sheet of the printed product, and the subsequent printed sheets, which complete the printed product, are added immediately. Digital printing machines work without a fixed printing plate, and therefore can operate in the mentioned way.
  • the transfer device forms a central element of the process.
  • this transfer device from a blade-like infeed star, also called fan wheel formed, which receives the zoomed sheet and / or additional sheet between the spaces created for this, whereby by the rotational movement of this fan wheel these sheets are then within a certain arc angle and along at least one level forwarded and then stacked to a book block.
  • the elements of the inlet star may be straight or have a blade-like curved geometry.
  • Such a transfer device is formed on the basis of an endless transport chain, said chain has spaced apart pocket-shaped receiving points, wherein the print and additional sheets for further transport recording.
  • the stacking of the sheet takes place.
  • the spaces resp. the pocket-shaped receiving points can be extended if necessary with individual holding means which fixes the individual sheets at least during transport position stable non-positively.
  • a further advantage of the invention relates to the variability in how the printing and additional sheets can be transported along the respective feeding transport path: they can be individually spaced apart or conveyed further by means of a shingled stream, and furthermore they can be conveyed upstream of the transfer device by means of a simple or Always upstream of this transfer device, these folds can preferably be carried out after a preceding separation operation, wherein such separation operations can be made longitudinally or transversely to the printed paper web, which leads to a high flexibility of the method.
  • Fig. 1 Subsequently, the transport 11 of the folded printed sheet 10, and then the transfer of the same to a transfer device 3, which consists of a fan wheel with paddle-like pockets.
  • 21 additional sheets 20 are introduced via a separately operated product stream, which are introduced into the spaces 13 of the transfer device 3 predefined by a controller 43.
  • the transfer device 3 conveys fan-shaped the zoomed and placed in the spaces 13 printing and additional sheet on a certain arc angle on, so that these sheets and additional sheets leak at a certain point from the spaces 13 or are ejected and then stacked directly to a stack 30 become. This stacking therefore forms a congruent sequence of the continuous within the transfer device 3 compiled print and supplemental sheet.
  • Fig. 1 how out Fig. 1 it can be seen, individual tailored signatures 1 are folded in the transverse direction by a folding device 2 to form a sheet 10.
  • the supplied printed sheet 44 may already have one or more fold breaks.
  • the sheet 10 and additional sheet 20 can be printed as a single sheets.
  • the representation according to Fig. 1 here, however, refers to a folding device, which is designed so that the back fold 12 of the sheet 10 is in advance in the transport direction 11 so that it can be easily inserted and positioned in the associated space 13.
  • this does not mean that the advance back fold represents a compelling transport process.
  • a sheet 10 or additional sheet 20 can also be fed with an open side ahead.
  • the printed sheets 10 are released after an angular movement of about 180 ° from the spaces 13 respectively. ejected, wherein the respective back fold 12 is trailing, that has the same book block-related position as upstream of the transfer device, and the folded sheet 10 now, based on the stack 30, front one or more openings.
  • the same also applies to the numericalfalzes 12 for the additional sheet 20, if such a fold is made.
  • These additional sheets take intermediate the free bars between the unoccupied by the sheet 10 spaces 13 in the fan wheel, the latter being transported over an arc angle, ie via a rotary or quasi-rotary translation of exemplary about 90 °.
  • the additional sheets 20 can not exclusively occupy individual free spaces 13, but they can, depending on the composition of the book block, readily be inserted directly into the open fold of each sheet 10, in which case opening systems must be provided. This is particularly useful if the additional sheet in the book block has to fulfill the function of a Einsteckbogens.
  • the fan-shaped subdivision of this transfer device 3 has individual scoop-shaped elements 4 concavely curved in the direction of rotation, the course of which acts in particular against the centrifugal forces arising in the direction of rotation.
  • the concave curvature of the blade-shaped elements 4 on the inside therefore increases the centripetal force emanating from the mass of the transported sheets, so that the sheets remain stable during transport even at high rotations.
  • the curvature of the paddle-shaped elements reverses their affinity in the region of the stacking and causes the sheets to more easily slip out of the gap 13 in the region of the stacking over the convex surface of the paddle-shaped element, such curvature also providing a transfer of the sheets in conformity with the movement ensures the stacking, in particular when the transfer dynamics is unwound so that the front of the sheet to be deposited is previously ejected and successively deposited by the rotation, so that a pressure-related stabilizing effect of the incoming sheet over the preceding sheet is formed, this is particularly true if the stacking process intermittently resp. flying done.
  • the elements 4 of the fan wheel need not necessarily be formed scoop-shaped, namely they serve primarily to separate the individual sheets 10 and additional sheet 20 from each other and the pocket-shaped gap to accommodate additional sheets 20 to be determined by the controller 43 continuously, also adaptively , This control thus determines how the spaces 13 are clocked, i. Interspaces can be provided after a monotonous cycle, ie after every printing sheet, or after every two successive printed sheets, etc., or else sequences can be provided whose interspaces are arranged according to irregular arithmetic or geometric series of numbers.
  • Fig. 2 shows a further transfer device 40, which is designed as a transport chain.
  • This endlessly running transport chain 40 which here in the Fig. 2 simplicity is shown, is equipped with spaced and upper side open channels 41, which fulfill the function of receiving points equipped, which behave towards the sheet like pockets, and which are designed for the continuous recording and transport of sheet 10 and additional sheet 20.
  • the channels 41 may also be designed as brackets, which exert a force-locking holding force on the printed product.
  • the opening width of the open slot 42 is dimensioned so that said sheets 10, 20 can be easily inserted during delivery, that these sheets can be transported position stable during translation, and then these sheets can easily eject in the stacking.
  • this receiving location is of the utmost importance, since the impacted cycles are extremely high, so that centrifugal forces and fluttering movements and other interferences can automatically arise, which indicate the rigidity of the folded ones indicated by the stiffness could easily exceed the printed sheet.
  • This narrow design of the receiving location is an essential component of the transfer device, also because it is not excluded that the additional sheet may consist of individual non-folded sheet.
  • Fig. 2 acts a controller, not shown, which is similar to in Fig. 1 is constructed.
  • interspaces may be provided after a monotonous clock, ie after each print sheet, or after two consecutive press sheets, etc., or sequences may also be provided become, whose interspaces are arranged according to irregular arithmetic or geometric series of numbers.
  • the transfer devices 3, 40 described are constructed so that the forces which occur in the case of high-performance transportation of the printed sheets and additional sheets and the subsequent stacking, such as the centrifugal forces in the star-shaped transfer device 3, can not have any negative effects on the formation of the stack , Folded sheets generally have a very high dimensional stability, which is advantageous for the reliable and dimensionally accurate stacking.
