Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling the speed of a cutting device, wherein the cutting device comprises a cutting unit for cutting printed products and a feeding device for supplying printed matter to the cutting unit, wherein prior to cutting from the printed products in a stacking device stacks of printed products are formed and wherein the printed products of a to be formed stack on a first conveying element of the feeder are transported sequentially.
  • Raw bound printed matter such as books, paperbacks, magazines or similar products are trimmed to final size after binding to the three unbound edges.
  • the machines required for the entire production process are usually linked together serially.
  • first printed sheets fed to a gathering machine and collected by this loose book block.
  • the loose book blocks are transferred to a binding machine, in which the book blocks bound in the spine area and the bound printed products transported by means of conveyor belts, on which the setting process of the adhesive used is carried to a cutting device.
  • the cutting device further machines, such as stackers, filming machines and tying machines can be arranged.
  • Such a cutting device with a three-knife cutter is for example in the DE3302946 C2 disclosed.
  • Such devices have the disadvantage that the achievable number of cycles is significantly lower than the maximum achievable number of cycles of the other machines.
  • this disadvantage can be compensated for by feeding the printed products into the cutting unit of the cutting device in stacks.
  • the height of the stack to be cut, or the number of printed products per stack, is thereby generated by one, the cutting unit upstream, so-called investor and the stack is fed through this the cutting unit.
  • the feeder comprises a magazine in which the printed products delivered by the binding machine are stacked and a push-off system which pushes down from the magazine stacks of defined height or a defined number of printed products and transfers them to the cutting unit.
  • the number of cycles of the three-knife trimmer is set slightly higher than is necessary due to the average performance of the binding machine. This reduces the filling level in the magazine continuously.
  • the level of the magazine is monitored. With a minimum permissible level, the deportation is interrupted and one or more empty cycles of the cutting unit are introduced until a sufficient fill level is reached again. Alternatively, instead of introducing idle cycles, the cutter may be stopped.
  • Such devices have proven themselves in the processing of thick printed products. For thin printed products, however, an exact separation in the stack is uncertain, which can lead to malfunctions and machine downtime.
  • a counted stack is formed in a further design form of cutting devices in the magazine, which is then pushed into the cutting unit.
  • the supply of other printed products must be interrupted.
  • an accumulation conveyor may be provided in front of the magazine of the cutting device.
  • the number of cycles of the cutting unit can be selected slightly higher than the average number of cycles required, thus overfilling the accumulation conveyor is avoided. This can be generated from time to time empty cycles or the cutting unit can be stopped.
  • a disadvantage is the power limitation that results from the accumulation conveyor. Namely, the printed products can not be accelerated fast enough after the jam itself by means of a suction belt. Another disadvantage is that sanding marks on the printed products with sensitive surfaces can occur due to the accumulation conveyor.
  • the loading device has a counting magazine with two stacking trays arranged one above the other, which are automatically controlled by the feeding and removal of the printed products. With a slide arranged below the counting magazine, the complete stack of printed products can be fed isochronically to the cutting cell.
  • the controller uses signals from magazine-mounted sensors to detect book blocks, with the first sensor positioned directly in front of the magazine, the second at the bottom of the stack and the third at the feed table. Dependent on the number of copies per stack, the counting magazine is operable in different modes.
  • the DE10321370 also describes a cutting device with a counting magazine, this is preceded by a shed separation device. This should be processed safely thin products that are conveyed in a scale flow.
  • the invention has for its object to control the speed of a cutting device such that in irregular supply of printed products, the buffer capacity of the stacking magazine is sufficient in any case, to avoid overfilling.
  • the printed products should be treated gently on their surfaces.
  • the inventive object is achieved by a method for controlling the speed of a cutting device, wherein the printed products each detected a stack to be formed and based on a time of detection of a last printed product of each stack to be formed an actual cycle number of the cutting unit is controlled such that the stack the cutting unit is fed within a time window.
  • the stack formed is transported on a second conveying element of the feeder to the cutting unit.
  • the time window is calculated as the difference between a longest available time and a shortest available time for feeding the stack formed to the second conveyor element.
  • the stack formed is transported to the cutting unit with a slide of the second conveyor element, wherein a minimum and a maximum value for an offset time is calculated from the calculated time window and the transport of the stack to the cutting unit takes place after the offset time has elapsed.
  • the actual number of cycles of the cutting mechanism is controlled on the basis of the arrival time of the last printed product of a stack to be formed.
  • the control of the actual cycle number of the cutting unit can be done by reducing or increasing this actual cycle number compared to a previous cycle number.
  • at least one empty cycle of the cutting unit is preferably inserted and the actual cycle number of the cutting unit is increased.
  • the speed of the printed products on the first conveying element of the feeding device is adjusted depending on a length of the printed products and independent of the actual cycle number of the cutting unit.
  • the cutting device printed products can be supplied from an upstream processing machine, wherein a nominal number of cycles of the cutting unit of the cutting device is specified by the processing machine.

  • the arranged between the processing machine 33 and the cutting device 1 conveyor 2 is formed in the simplest case by successive conveyor belts on which the printed products 3 are conveyed individually and in succession.
  • the conveyor 2 may have additional devices, such as scaling and Abschschungsungsvortechniken, Ausschleus- and distribution points, addressing devices and curve elements.
  • the conveyor 2 feeds the printed products 3 one after the other to a feeding device 4 of the cutting device 1, which has a first conveying element 26 which is presently designed as a belt conveyor and which can be driven by means of a controllable motor M 1 .
  • the speed of the first conveying element 26 upstream conveyor 2 is selected depending on the length of the printed products 3 and the number of cycles of the processing machine 33 so that the spaces between successive printed products 3 on the conveyor 2 are as low as possible.
  • the frequency of supplied printed products 3 is thereby limited upwards.
  • the speed of the first conveying element 26 is always higher than the speed of the conveyor 2.
  • the printed products 3 are fed to a stacking device 5, which is formed by a vertical stacking shaft 6 with upper stacking slides 7 and lower stacking slides 8 arranged on two levels.

Subsequently, the stack 10 is clamped between the cutting table and a press plate, also not shown. In this position, the stack 10 is trimmed by means of a front knife 13 at the front edge and by means of side knives 14 at the two side edges, wherein the cutting sequence can also be reversed. After releasing the press plate, the finished trimmed stack 10 is removed by means of a first conveyor 15 and a subsequent second conveyor 16 in a discharge direction A. As a result, the cutting table is free for receiving the next batch 10 to be trimmed.

  • In continuous operation of the feeding device 4 of the cutting device 1 to be trimmed printed products 3 are also fed continuously through the conveyor 2.
  • the light beam, the light barrier L 2 is cyclically interrupted by the transported printed products 3. This results in a signal with dark phases 18 when the light beam is interrupted and with light phases 19 when no printed product 3 is in the range of the light beam.
