Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for forming packets according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • package formation is one of the last steps in the processing of printed products.
  • Packages are formed from a number of printed products and forwarded for shipment.
  • the printed products may be, for example, newspapers with or without supplements distributed to households in a particular region.
  • Forming packages also requires the provision of individual newspapers in a form in which the formation of packages can easily take place.
  • the printed products are given within a Einsteckmaschine to a funding, which then forwards the printed products to a at least one cross-stacker having packaging machine.
  • the packaging machine stacks the required number of printed products with product gaps arranged opposite to one another and packs them into a corresponding package, which is finally forwarded to the forwarding company.
  • a first precipitation of defective printed products taking place in the course of the production of a main package as well as any subsequent subsequent separation of further defective printed products triggers an immediate simultaneous simultaneous or quasi-simultaneous post-production to compensate for these defective printed products, each post-production at least forming a sub-package leads, which is integrated into the incomplete main package preferably at the appropriate location.
  • the desired reliability in the formation of packages depends on the one hand, that the packages always have exactly the predetermined number of printed products, regardless of whether there is an even or odd number strength, and on the other hand that the packages may not contain any rejects. If such requirements are not met, there are immediate disadvantages both in production, distribution, and finally in individual delivery.
  • the packages must not be inferior in printed products, because with such a condition, customers would inevitably run out of money, which leads to complaints, with the consequence that the missing print products would have to be replenished immediately.
  • the packages may also contain no surplus copies, because these would then have to be eliminated loss.
  • debugging defective prior art failed print products is limited because such debugging must be equally effective against both even numbered packages and packages having an odd number of printed products.
  • the invention aims to remedy this situation.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, the object is to make the provision of packages in a method of the type mentioned in such a way that continuously in the same production flow both even number packets and packages with an odd number of printed products ready can be provided, wherein the individual packages can have absolutely any number of printed products, and necessary error corrections on the production flow do not have a restrictive effect.
  • the printed products are dispensed to a conveying means within at least one inserting machine, preferably with two or more feeders, and subsequently these printed products are transported to at least one stacker. There then packages are formed with the exact predetermined number of printed products.
  • the feeders are already controlled in the delivery of the printed products to the conveyor so that for the later formation of packages with an even number of printed products an sequence with an even number of printed products per bag is initiated.
  • control system logically initiates a sequence with an odd number of printed products to a conveying unit of the conveying means such that at least one pocket is occupied by only one printed product.
  • Both sequences are therefore designed so as to be able to form the predetermined consistency of the packets, which in terms of numbers can vary greatly in every respect.
  • the method thus makes it possible to flexibly form various packages which can be designed individually in terms of number, both in absolute terms and in terms of their even or odd number of printed products.
  • a significant advantage of the invention is the fact that the formation of packages with even or odd number of printed products in a production flow upstream of the at least one funnellegers located zone happens, so that in the inserter and in operative connection with the investors operating there the regulatory dispositions to form the individual packages are implemented.
  • control of the feeders is performed such that they are controlled by a central control unit whose control commands accomplish the targeted delivery of printed products to the bags.
  • the controller inside the inserter triggers an intervention to the investors for detected errors, for example, by ejecting a defective printed product
  • the originally scheduled sequence then forms a subset incomplete package.
  • control immediately or almost immediately after the detection of the error ensures that a subsequent delivery of the missing or printed products takes place, which is then brought to the incomplete sequence immediately, which creates the condition that the package in question can be completed as directly as possible ,
  • these error-related subsequent deliveries are carried out as independent sequences, so that the incomplete packages can be completed directly in the area of the stacker, without slowing down or interrupting the production flow, and without parking the incomplete packages in a waiting position, or this on an additional loop to send.
  • Such a fault-healing sequence can be extremely considered to consist of a single printed product. This creates the basis that the completion of the incomplete packages does not have to be made on a loading ramp, because in this case the implementation of the missing printed products can take place at the respective cross stacker.
  • a printed product 6 forms, for example, a complete newspaper, which is also provided with several supplements, which newspaper numerically forms a subset of the package concerned.
  • sequence is a continuous placement of pockets 7 with printed products 6, which in sum should form a specific package.
  • a sequence may comprise a series of double-loaded pockets 7 for forming packages with an even number of printed products 6, which row is interrupted intermediately whenever a single-loaded pocket 7 necessarily follows to form a package with an odd number of printed products 6 got to.
  • Fig. 1 shows a plant A comprising a to be understood as a conveying means 3 plug-in line comprising a first and a second feeders 4, 5, which deliver the printed products 6 to the means of the insertion line, said printed products 6 are conveyed in a transport direction T.
  • a plug-in line with the associated investors 4, 5 forms the insertion machine in the jargon.
  • more than two feeders 4, 5 can be provided. If, for example, a second insertion machine is provided, then this could intervene in the sequences from case to case with printed products, in particular if packages with an odd number of printed products 6 are to be formed.
  • the printed products 6 are transported to a packaging machine 8, which is shown schematically with the route 15.
  • the packaging machine 8 has three stackers 8a, 8b, 8c, which are each responsible for the packaging of a specific package.
  • a smaller or a larger number of funnellegern can be used.
  • the printed products 6 are thus directed, depending on the predetermined package composition, by means of a central control unit 1 to a corresponding cross-lapper 8a, 8b, 8c of the packaging machine 8.
  • packages 9a, 9b, 9c are each assembled by the stackers 8a, 8b, 8c.
  • the insertion line and the feeders 4, 5 are controlled by a Einsteckmaschinen facedung 2 via bidirectional communication lines 13 and 12 respectively.
  • the Einsteckmaschinen dealtung 2 is in turn connected to the central control unit 1 via the bidirectional line 11.
  • the central control unit 1 further monitors the stackers 8a, 8b, 8c and communicates with them via a bidirectional line 14.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 respectively.
  • Fig. 2a and 3a show a preferred embodiment of the transport path of the insertion line in the loading with a straight or combined with an odd and even number of printed products 6.
  • the transport route is designed here as a pocket conveyor with pockets 7 for the printed products 6.
  • the products 6 of the first investor 4 are shown with a solid line and the products 6a, 6b of the second investor 5 with a dotted line.
  • Fig. 2a At each stroke of each feeder 4, 5 a printed product 6 is delivered to each pocket 7 of the pocket conveyor, so that in such a case only double products are transported to the packaging machine 8.
  • Fig. 3a the case is shown in which individual products and double products are formed by for individual products a feeder 4, 5 delivers no product 6 to the pocket conveyor during a cycle, while at the bars of the subsequent sequence then double products for each pocket 7 are again delivered.
  • the loading of a bag 7 can be provided with a single printed product 6 to form a package with an odd number of printed products 6 during the respective sequence arbitrarily, so can the loading of this bag 7 at the beginning, intermediately or at the end provide the respective sequence.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 respectively.
  • Fig. 2a and Fig. 3a are schematically shown gripper 10 which displays the contents of the pockets 7 for further transport to the packaging machine 8 over the route 15 Fig. 1 take.
  • the control acting on the sequence when dispensing printed products 6 is initially triggered by the central control unit 1 on the basis of forwarding data with regard to the packages 9a, 9b, 9c to be produced.
  • the central control unit 1 an optimal package compilation resp. Packet composition determined on the basis of forwarding data and accordingly configured the investors 4, 5 for the optimal delivery of the printed products 6.
  • the optimum package composition is achieved in that necessary packages with an odd number of printed products 6 can be formed at any time. If required, the production of odd-numbered or even-numbered product packages 9a, 9b, 9c is switched dynamically at any time during production.
  • each of a feeder 4, 5 a main product HP and an insert IS delivered to one and the same pocket 7 of the conveyor 3.
  • a product 6a of the first investor 4 contains a main product HP and an inlay IS and a product 6b of the second investor 5 a main product HP and an inlay IS.
  • the focus in the following is not primarily on the deposit IS, but the main products HP should be focused here.
  • the contents of the pockets 7 are delivered to the first crosslapper 8a to form even numbered printed product packages 6a. If packages 9b, 9c with an odd number of printed products 6 are to be formed during production, the central control unit 1 gives corresponding commands to the investors 4, 5.
  • the packages 9b are to be provided with two products 6b each second investor 5 and a product 6a of the first investor 4 are formed.
  • the first feeder 4 is instructed not to deliver a product 6a for one cycle while the second feeder 5 is instructed to deliver a product 6b.
  • each feeder 4, 5 then regularly delivers its printed product to a subsequent pocket 7.
  • the strength of this system is the fact that one package does not have to be completely formed before another package is stacked. Especially when troubleshooting this procedure proves to be highly efficient, because so that the production flow is not unnecessarily delayed or even interrupted.
  • two packages with an even number of printed products 6 can be formed one after the other here, but these are stored in another stacker. Examples of different sequences are shown in the side view C of the conveyor.
  • the error correction could be carried out in an incomplete leading sequence by printed products 6 from an immediately following sequence, wherein the central control unit 1 then intervenes to a neutralizing compensation on the immediately following sequences. This is possible even if the precipitated printed product 6 was intended to form a package with an odd number of printed products 6.
  • This procedure can also be used if the incomplete sequence provided for a particular package is due to an incorrect delivery of a printed product 6 from a feeder 4 or 5.
  • command is sent to the corresponding cross-stacker to temporarily leave the incomplete package until the post-production arrives there and can be filed.
  • this intermediary deposition in the crosslapper is only at an extreme extensive and time-consuming troubleshooting, because in most cases an error detection can be remedied by immediate replacement from the subsequent sequence in the production flow.
