Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Bearbeiten von oder Erzeugen von Brechlinien bei flächigen Produkten mit einem Bearbeitungswerkzeug, welches zwischen sich und einem Gegenwerkzeug das Produkt bearbeitet.The invention relates to a method for processing or producing refractive lines in planar products with a processing tool which processes the product between itself and a counter-tool.

Z.B. in der Lebensmittel-, Kosmetik- und Pharmaindustrie bestehen die Verpackungen oftmals aus Laminaten. Diese müssen bei der Herstellung der Behältnisse in die gewünschte Form gebracht werden, wofür sie unter anderem auch bearbeitet, insbesondere getrennt werden müssen. Dieses Bearbeiten sollte zur Schonung der Werkzeuge und der Werkstücke verschleißarm erfolgen. Ein typischer Folienverbund setzt sich aus einer Bodenfolie, die z.B. aus Polyamid (PA), Polyester (PES), Polyethylenterephthalat (PET), Polypropylen (PP), Polystyrol (PS), Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) bestehen kann, und einer eingebundenen Sperrschicht gegen die Penetration von Sauerstoff, Wasser, Fetten und UV-Strahlung zusammen. Eine derartige Sperrschicht kann z.B. Ethylenvinylalkohol (EVOH), ein Thermoplast oder auch eine Aluminiumfolie sein. Üblicherweise ist der Folienverbund auch noch mit einer Deckfolie versehen, die z.B. aus PET, PP, oder einem Verbund, z.B. mit Aluminiumfolie, bestehen kann. Weitere Materialien sind Aluminium, Papierlaminat, Papier, Karton und sogar Textilbahnen.For example, In the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries, the packaging often consists of laminates. These must be brought into the desired shape in the manufacture of the containers, for which they have to be processed, among other things, in particular, must be separated. This processing should be done to protect the tools and workpieces wear. A typical film composite is composed of a bottom sheet, e.g. may consist of polyamide (PA), polyester (PES), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and an integral barrier against the penetration of oxygen, water, fats and UV radiation together. Such a barrier layer may e.g. Ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), a thermoplastic or an aluminum foil. Usually, the film composite is also provided with a cover sheet, e.g. of PET, PP, or a composite, e.g. with aluminum foil, can exist. Other materials include aluminum, paper laminate, paper, cardboard and even textile webs.

Ein Verfahren zum Verschweißen von Bechern ist aus der DE 103 59 036 B4 bekannt. Die DE 36 03 627 A1 und die DE 201 14 860 U1 zeigen ein Verfahren zum Einarbeiten von Öffnungen in Behälter. Die DE 10 2008 016 916 A1 zeigt eine Vorrichtung zum Schneiden von Werkstücken. Die DE 295 03 122 U1 offenbart eine Sonotrode.A method for welding cups is from the DE 103 59 036 B4 known. The DE 36 03 627 A1 and the DE 201 14 860 U1 show a method for incorporating openings in Container. The DE 10 2008 016 916 A1 shows a device for cutting workpieces. The DE 295 03 122 U1 discloses a sonotrode.

Ein bekanntes Verfahren zum Herstellen von Sollbruchstellen mittels einer mit Ultraschall beaufschlagten Sonotrode ist in CH 628 564 A5 beschrieben und gezeigt. Eine Sonotrode ist hier mit keilförmigen Enden versehen, die auf das zu bearbeitende Material aufgedrückt werden, und über einen kurzen Zeitraum wird die Sonotrode mit Ultraschall beaufschlagt, bis in Form eines eingedrückten Bereichs eine kreisförmige oder eckige Rille entsprechend der Form der zu verschließenden Dose gebildet wird. Eine rillenförmige Sollbruchstelle entsteht hier also ausschließlich mittels einer Materialverformung durch die Ultraschallbeaufschlagung.A known method for producing predetermined breaking points by means of a sonotrode applied with ultrasound is disclosed in US Pat CH 628 564 A5 described and shown. A sonotrode is here provided with wedge-shaped ends, which are pressed onto the material to be processed, and over a short period of time, the sonotrode is subjected to ultrasound, is formed in the form of a depressed area a circular or angular groove corresponding to the shape of the can to be closed , A groove-shaped predetermined breaking point thus arises here exclusively by means of a material deformation by the ultrasound application.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Bearbeitungsverfahren der eingangs genannten Art derart weiter zu entwickeln, dass mit dem Bearbeitungsverfahren das Produkt eine vorteilhafte Eigenschaft erhält, wobei der Bearbeitungsvorgang verschleißfreier oder kraftreduziert durchgeführt werden kann.The invention has for its object to further develop a processing method of the type mentioned above, that with the processing method, the product receives an advantageous property, the machining operation can be performed wear-free or reduced-force.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Verfahren gelöst, das die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist.This object is achieved by a method having the features of claim 1.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird die primäre Schnittbewegung des Bearbeitungswerkzeugs, z.B. des Stempels oder Messers, mit einer weiteren Bewegung ergänzt. Diese weitere Bewegung wird von der Ultraschallsonotrode erzeugt, an welcher das Bearbeitungswerkzeug befestigt ist. Auf diese Weise können die Produkte, auch Laminate mit höherem Deformationsvermögen, prozesssicher geschnitten oder gestanzt werden. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren erfolgt dies mit reduzierten Kräften. Der wesentliche Vorteil besteht darin, dass das flächige Produkt in dem Bereich, in welchem es bearbeitet wurde, zusätzlich versprödet wird. Das flächige Produkt, welches z.B. eine hochflexible Folie ist, kann dann an der bearbeiteten Stelle einfach durchgetrennt werden, indem es verformt, z.B. abgeknickt wird. Bei Folien, welche auf herkömmlicher Weise bearbeitet werden, verformt sich die bearbeitete Stelle mit und bricht nicht durch, da die, wenn auch geschwächte Stelle nach wie vor flexibel und elastisch ist. Eine derartige Sollbruchstelle bricht nicht oder nur schwer durch. Eine bevorzugte Anwendung findet die Erfindung bei Knickverpackungen, z.B. für Joghurt mit Zerealien oder bei hochflexiblen, biegeschlaffen Folien, wie Klarsichtfolien.With the method according to the invention, the primary cutting movement of the machining tool, for example of the punch or knife, is supplemented with a further movement. This further movement is generated by the ultrasonic sonotrode, to which the machining tool is attached. In this way, the products, including laminates with higher deformation capacity, can be reliably cut or punched. With the method according to the invention, this is done with reduced forces. The essential advantage is that the flat product is additionally embrittled in the area in which it has been processed. The areal Product, which is a highly flexible film, for example, can then be easily cut at the processed site by deforming it, for example, kinked. For films that are processed in a conventional manner, the processed site deforms with and does not break, as the weakened area is still flexible and elastic. Such a predetermined breaking point does not break through or only with difficulty. A preferred application of the invention in kinked packaging, eg yogurt with cereals or highly flexible, pliable films, such as transparencies.

Als vorteilhafte Bearbeitungsbewegung des Bearbeitungswerkzeugs wird eine lineare Bewegung angesehen. Die Ultraschallsonotrode führt eine oszillierende Bewegung aus, deren Richtung parallel zur Bearbeitungsbewegung verläuft und dieser überlagert ist. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren führt demnach eine lineare Hauptbewegung überlagert mit einer linearen oszillierenden Sekundärbewegung in Schnittrichtung mittels Ultraschall aus. Dabei werden Schwingungsamplituden im Bereich von 5µm bis 20µm erzeugt und auf die Schnittkante übertragen.As an advantageous machining movement of the machining tool, a linear movement is considered. The ultrasonic sonotrode performs an oscillating movement whose direction is parallel to the processing movement and is superimposed on it. Accordingly, the method according to the invention performs a linear main movement superimposed with a linear oscillating secondary movement in the cutting direction by means of ultrasound. This vibration amplitudes are generated in the range of 5μm to 20μm and transferred to the cutting edge.

Die Oberflächenschwingungen an der Schnittkante dienen der Erweichung des Laminates in der Schnittzone und helfen ein Verspannen des Materials vor dem Einsetzen des Trennrisses zu vermeiden. Ein gelegentliches Heraustrennen von Materialpartikeln aus dem Laminat nach adhäsivem Anbinden am Schnittwerkzeug (Fadenbildung), was beim konventionellen Schneiden oftmals der Fall ist, kann damit unterbunden werden.The surface vibrations at the cutting edge serve to soften the laminate in the cutting zone and help prevent distortion of the material prior to insertion of the separation tear. An occasional removal of material particles from the laminate after adhesive bonding to the cutting tool (thread formation), which is often the case with conventional cutting, can thus be prevented.

Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, in der unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung ein besonders bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel im Einzelnen beschrieben ist. Dabei können die in der Zeichnung dargestellten sowie in der Beschreibung und in den Ansprüchen erwähnten Merkmale jeweils einzeln für sich oder in beliebiger Kombination erfindungswesentlich sein. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

Figur 1
einen Längsschnitt durch eine Trennvorrichtung in geöffnetem Zustand; und
Figur 2
einen Längsschnitt durch die Trennvorrichtung in geschlossenem Zustand (Scherschnitt).
Further advantages, features and details of the invention will become apparent from the following description in which, with reference to the drawing, a particularly preferred embodiment is described in detail. The features shown in the drawing and mentioned in the description and in the claims may each be essential to the invention individually or in any combination. In the drawing show:
FIG. 1
a longitudinal section through a separator in the open state; and
FIG. 2
a longitudinal section through the separator in the closed state (shear cut).

Der in der Zeichnung dargestellte Längsschnitt zeigt eine insgesamt mit 10 bezeichnete Bearbeitungsvorrichtung mit einem Gegenwerkzeug 12 (Matrize), welches an einem Werkzeughalter 14 befestigt ist und mittels eines Schlittens 16 vertikal verfahrbar ist. Dem Gegenwerkzeug 12 liegt ein Bearbeitungswerkzeug 18 gegenüber, das von einem Niederhalter 20 umgeben ist. Das Gegenwerkzeug 12 weist an der Unterseite eine Schneide 24 auf. Die Schneide 24 weist mit Abstand zueinander liegende Schneidabschnitte auf, mit welchen ein Perforationsschnitt herstellbar ist. Die Abmessungen der Schneidabschnitte sind derart gewählt, dass diese mit einem Spaltabstand von wenigen 1/100 mm in die im Gegenwerkzeug 12 vorgesehene Schneidkontur 26 einfahren kann, was in der Figur 2 dargestellt ist. Dabei wird der Hubbewegung des Schlittens 16 die Ultraschallbewegung des Bearbeitungswerkzeugs 18 überlagert. Das Material des zu bearbeitenden Produktes (nicht dargestellt) wird dadurch erweicht, wodurch der Schneidprozess wesentlich unterstützt wird. Außerdem werden die Schneidränder verrundet. Zwischen den Schneidabschnitten verbleiben am zu bearbeitenden Produkt Stege.The longitudinal section shown in the drawing shows a generally designated 10 processing device with a counter tool 12 (die), which is attached to a tool holder 14 and by means of a carriage 16 is vertically movable. The counter tool 12 is opposed by a machining tool 18, which is surrounded by a hold-down 20. The counter tool 12 has a cutting edge 24 on the underside. The cutting edge 24 has mutually spaced cutting sections, with which a perforation cut can be produced. The dimensions of the cutting sections are chosen such that they can enter with a gap spacing of a few 1/100 mm in the provided in the counter tool 12 cutting contour 26, which in the FIG. 2 is shown. In this case, the lifting movement of the carriage 16 is superimposed on the ultrasonic movement of the machining tool 18. The material of the product to be processed (not shown) is thereby softened, whereby the cutting process is substantially supported. In addition, the cutting edges are rounded. Between the cutting sections webs remain on the product to be processed.

Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit das Bearbeitungswerkzeug 18 eine durchgehende Scheide 24 besitzt, mit der das flächige Produkt aber nur über einen Teil der Dicke durchtrennt wird. Bei beiden Varianten wird das flächige Produkt im Bereich der Bearbeitung versprödet, so dass die Bearbeitungsstelle anschließend leicht durch Verformung aufgebrochen werden kann. Das Gegenwerkzeug 12 kann auch mit geschlossener Oberfläche ausgeführt sein, so dass das Bearbeitungswerkzeug 18 einen Quetschschnitt ausführt. Dabei endet die Zustellbewegung des Schlittens 16 bevor das Gegenwerkzeug 12 das Bearbeitungswerkzeug 18 berührt.There is also the possibility that the machining tool 18 has a continuous sheath 24, with which the flat product is severed but only over a portion of the thickness. In both variants, the flat product is embrittled in the field of processing, so that the processing point can then be easily broken by deformation. The counter-tool 12 may also be designed with a closed surface, so that the machining tool 18 performs a compression cut. In this case, the feed movement of the carriage 16 ends before the counter tool 12 touches the machining tool 18.
