A common signal transmitter initiates an adjustment process of components when operating a switch (S1) on the printing material processing machine (5) and when operating the remote controller. The signal transmitter is provided as the switch of the processing stations group. An optical signal is displayed when a movement of the adjustment process reaches a predetermined target position. The stations are selected from an alignment station (4), a pre-folding station (6), an additional alignment station (10), a processing station (13) and a folding station (14).

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Einstellung von Komponenten einer Bedruckstoffe verarbeitenden Maschine, insbesondere einer Faltschachtelklebemaschine, mit wenigstens einer Gruppe von Bearbeitungsstationen mit einem zugeordneten Bedienelement und einer Fernbedienung sowie einem Sicherheitswegrechner und einem Betriebswegrechner.The present invention relates to a device for adjusting components of a substrate-processing machine, in particular a Faltschachtelklebemaschine, with at least one group of processing stations with an associated control and a remote control and a safety road computer and a Betriebswegrechner.

Faltschachtelklebemaschinen sind lange, komplexe Maschinen mit vielen Bearbeitungsstattionen und dienen dazu, aus Zuschnitten wie Druckbogen Faltschachteln herzustellen. Dazu sind viele Bearbeitungsschritte notwendig, um aus dem bogenförmigen Bedruckstoff eine Faltschachtel herzustellen. Aus diesem Grund weisen Faltschachtelklebemaschinen mehrere in Reihe angeordnete Verarbeitungsstationen auf, welche über Transportstationen miteinander verbunden sind. Mit diesen Bearbeitungsstationen werden die bogenförmigen Bedruckstoffe gefaltet und verklebt, bis am Ende eine verklebte und gefaltete Schachtel die Maschine verlässt.Folding box gluing machines are long, complex machines with many processing stations and are used to produce folding blanks from blanks such as printed sheets. For this, many processing steps are necessary to produce a folded box from the sheet-shaped substrate. For this reason, Faltschachtelklebemaschinen have several series-arranged processing stations, which are interconnected via transport stations. With these processing stations, the sheet-shaped substrates are folded and glued until at the end of a glued and folded box leaves the machine.

Eine derartige Faltschachtelklebemaschine ist aus dem Patent US 7,402,129 B2 bekannt. Um eine Faltschachtelklebemaschine betreiben zu können, müssen entsprechende Einstellungen an diversen Komponenten der Faltschachtelklebemaschine vorgenommen werden. Eine dieser Komponenten sind z. B. Rollwangen zur Formateinstellung. Da die Faltschachtelklebemaschinen sehr lang sind, sind die einzelnen Bearbeitungsstationen üblicherweise zu Gruppen zusammengefasst, welche gemeinsam bedient werden können. Dabei kann der Bediener eine Gruppe von Bearbeitungsstationen gemeinsam an der Maschine bedienen und so die nötigen Einstellungen z. B. Formatänderungen vornehmen.Such a Faltschachtelklebemaschine is from the patent US Pat. No. 7,402,129 B2 known. In order to be able to operate a folder gluer, appropriate settings must be made on various components of the folder gluer. One of these components are z. B. Rollers for format adjustment. Since the Faltschachtelklebemaschinen are very long, the individual processing stations are usually grouped together, which can be operated together. The operator can operate a group of processing stations together on the machine and so the necessary settings z. B. make format changes.

Des Weiteren ist es bekannt, eine Funkfernbedienung einzusetzen, um bei der Bedienung flexibler sein zu können. Dabei wird jedoch unter Umständen die Sicherheit nicht ausreichend gewahrt, wenn Verstellvorgänge an zu verstellenden Komponenten eingeleitet werden, wenn sich die Bedienperson nicht in Sichtweite der zu verstellenden Komponenten aufhält. Da die Faltschachtelklebemaschinen eine Vielzahl von verstellbaren Komponenten aufweisen, sind diese Maschinen nicht vollflächig verkleidet und es gibt nur Einzelsicherheitsmaßnahmen für bestimmte Bereiche. Um dennoch das Risiko für Verletzungen des Bedienpersonals in einem vertretbaren Rahmen zu halten, muss gewährleistet sein, dass eine Person, welche Verstellvorgänge an der Faltschachtelklebemaschine vornimmt, sich in Sichtweite dieser Verstellvorgänge aufhält und so den möglicherweise gefährlichen Verstellvorgang beobachtet.Furthermore, it is known to use a radio remote control to be able to be more flexible in the operation. However, under certain circumstances, the safety is not sufficiently maintained when adjusting operations are initiated on components to be adjusted when the operator is not within sight of the adjusted Stops components. Since the folding box gluing machines have a large number of adjustable components, these machines are not completely covered and there are only individual safety measures for specific areas. Nevertheless, in order to keep the risk of operator injury within reasonable limits, it must be ensured that a person performing adjustments on the folder gluer is in sight of these adjustments and thus observes the potentially dangerous adjustment process.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die Sicherheit bei der Einstellung von Komponenten einer Bedruckstoffe verarbeitenden Maschine, insbesondere einer Faltschachtelklebemaschine, zu erhöhen und gleichzeitig eine bequeme Bedienung der Maschine mittels einer Fernbedienung und Bedienelementen an der Maschine zu ermöglichen.It is therefore an object of the present invention to increase the security in the adjustment of components of a printing machine processing machine, in particular a Faltschachtelklebemaschine, while allowing a comfortable operation of the machine by means of a remote control and controls on the machine.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen und den Zeichnungen zu entnehmen. Die vorliegende Erfindung eignet sich insbesondere zur Einstellung von Komponenten in einer Faltschachtelklebemaschine, kann aber prinzipiell auch bei anderen Verarbeitungsmaschinen eingesetzt werden, welche eine Vielzahl von Bearbeitungsstationen aufweisen und die Problematik aufweisen, dass gefährliche Verstellbewegungen beim Einstellen der Komponenten nicht vollständig abgeschirmt sind und somit Sichtkontakt beim Verstellvorgang bestehen muss.The object is achieved by claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention can be taken from the subclaims and the drawings. The present invention is particularly suitable for setting components in a folding box gluing machine, but can in principle also be used in other processing machines which have a plurality of processing stations and have the problem that dangerous adjustment movements when setting the components are not completely shielded and thus visual contact during Adjustment must exist.

Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung sind mehrere Bearbeitungsstationen der Maschine einer Gruppe zugeordnet, wobei jede Gruppe von Bearbeitungsstationen ein zugeordnetes Bedienelement aufweist. Mit diesem Bedienelement, z.B. einem Schalter, kann das Bedienpersonal die Einstellvorgänge von Komponenten direkt an der Maschine bedienen. DesWeiteren ist eine Fernbedienung vorhanden, mit der ebenfalls die Einstellung derselben Komponenten in der Maschine vorgenommen werden kann. Die Fernbedienung als auch das Bedienelement einer Gruppe an der Maschine bewirken prinzipiell den gleichen Einstellvorgang. Zur Steuerung der Maschine sind außerdem ein Betriebswegrechner und ein Sicherheitswegrechner vorgesehen. Der Sicherheitswegrechner ist zum Betriebswegrechner redundant aufgebaut und stellt sicher, dass beim Ausfall des Betriebswegrechners oder bei Fehlfunktionen des Betriebswegrechners zumindest ein Überführen der Maschine in einen sicheren Zustand gewährleistet ist und keine unkontrollierten Zustände an der Maschine auftreten. Dies ist insbesondere bei Faltschachtelklebemaschinen wichtig, deren einzustellende Komponenten den Bediener gefährden können, indem sie Verletzungen in Form von Quetschungen oder Ähnlichem zufügen können.According to the present invention, a plurality of processing stations of the machine are associated with a group, each group of processing stations having an associated operating element. With this operating element, eg a switch, the operating personnel can operate the setting processes of components directly on the machine. Furthermore, there is a remote control with which the same components can also be set in the machine. The remote control as well as the control element of a group on the machine in principle cause the same setting process. For controlling the machine, an operation path calculator and a safety path calculator are also provided. Of the The safety-path calculator has a redundant design for the operation-distance computer and ensures that if the operation-path computer fails or the operation-path computer malfunctions, at least the machine is transferred to a safe state and no uncontrolled conditions occur on the machine. This is particularly important in folder gluers whose components to be adjusted can endanger the operator by causing injuries in the form of bruising or the like.

Gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der erste Schritt Einleitung des Einstellvorgangs der Komponenten sowohl bei Bedienung durch den Schalter an der Maschine als auch bei Bedienung durch die Fernbedienung durch einen gemeinsamen Signalgeber erfolgt. Dies bedeutet, dass immer der gleiche Signalgeber den allerersten Schritt zur Einleitung eines möglicherweise gefährlichen Verstellvorgangs darstellt, egal ob der Bediener den Verstellvorgang mittels des Schalters an der Maschine oder mittels der Fernbedienung ausgelöst hat. Dies hat den großen Vorteil, dass unabhängig von der Wahl der Bedienung zur Einstellung der Komponenten die Einleitung des Einstellvorgangs einheitlich abläuft.According to the present invention, it is provided that the first step initiates the setting process of the components both when operated by the switch on the machine and when operated by the remote control by a common signal generator. This means that always the same signal generator is the very first step to initiate a potentially dangerous adjustment process, regardless of whether the operator triggered the adjustment process by means of the switch on the machine or by means of the remote control. This has the great advantage that regardless of the choice of operation for adjusting the components, the initiation of the adjustment process runs uniformly.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Signalgeber der Schalter der wenigstens einen Gruppe von Bearbeitungsstationen ist. Bei dieser Ausführungsform hat der Schalter an der Maschine eine doppelte Funktion. Zum Einen kann mit dem Schalter direkt an der Maschine der Einstellvorgang der Komponenten ausgelöst werden und zum Anderen dient er auch bei Verwendung der Fernbedienung als Signalgeber zur Auslösung der Einstellung der Komponenten. Dies geschieht bevorzugt dadurch, dass der Schalter in einer ersten Stellung zur Vornahme der Einstellung der Komponenten durch die Fernbedienung und in einer zweiten Stellung zur Vornahme der Einstellung der Komponenten an der Maschine vorgesehen ist. In beiden Stellungen dient somit der gleiche Schalter als Signalgeber zum Auslösen des Einstellungsvorgangs, egal ob der Einstellungsvorgang selbst im weiteren Verlauf durch den Schalter an der Maschine oder durch die Fernbedienung gesteuert wird. Das Signal des Signalgebers wird dann an den Sicherheitsrechner weitergeleitet, welcher die Freigabe des Einstellvorgangs bewirkt. Vorteilhafterweise ist außerdem vorgesehen, dass nach Betätigung des Schalters in der ersten Stellung ein Zeitfenster, insbesondere 60 Sekunden, bevorzugt auf dem Betriebswegrechner startet. Mit diesem Zeitfenster in Form einer Timer-Funktion, welches relativ kurz bemessen sein sollte, wird sichergestellt, dass sich der Bediener während der Vornahme des Einstellvorgangs mittels der Fernbedienung nicht allzu weit von der einzustellenden Gruppe der Maschine entfernen kann. Wenn der Bediener nicht innerhalb des vorgesehenen Zeitfensters den Einstellvorgang an der Maschine mittels der Fernbedienung vornimmt, so wird der Einstellvorgang blockiert und der Bediener muss von Neuem den Einstellvorgang einleiten. Auf diese Art und Weise wird sichergestellt, dass sich der Bediener immer tatsächlich zumindest in der Nähe der einzustellenden Gruppe aufhält und so den möglicherweise gefährlichen Bereich beim Einstellen der Komponenten im Blick hat. Zudem wird vermieden dass nach Einleitung des Einstellvorgangs der Bediener sich abwendet und die Fernbedienung dann durch Dritte betätigt werden kann. Sobald der Bediener länger als 60 s abwesend ist, muss der Einstellvorgang stattdessen von vorne beginnen.In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the signal generator is the switch of the at least one group of processing stations. In this embodiment, the switch on the machine has a dual function. On the one hand, with the switch directly on the machine, the adjustment of the components can be triggered and on the other he also serves when using the remote control as a signal generator for triggering the adjustment of the components. This is preferably done by providing the switch in a first position to effect adjustment of the components by the remote control and in a second position to effect adjustment of the components on the machine. In both positions thus serves the same switch as a signal generator to trigger the adjustment process, regardless of whether the adjustment itself is controlled in the further course by the switch on the machine or by the remote control. The signal of the signal generator is then forwarded to the security computer, which causes the release of the setting process. Advantageously, it is also provided that after actuation of the switch in the first position, a time window, in particular 60 seconds, preferably starts on the Betriebswegrechner. This time window in the form of a timer function, which should be relatively short, ensures that the operator can not move too far away from the group of machines to be set while performing the setting operation by means of the remote control. If the operator does not make the setting operation on the machine by the remote control within the designated time window, the setting operation is blocked and the operator has to start the setting operation again. In this way, it is ensured that the operator always actually stays at least in the vicinity of the group to be set, thus keeping an eye on the possibly dangerous area when setting the components. In addition, it is avoided that after initiation of the adjustment process, the operator turns away and the remote control can then be operated by third parties. As soon as the operator is away for more than 60 seconds, the adjustment procedure must start again from the beginning.

Des Weiteren ist vorgesehen, dass mittels der Fernbedienung der Verstellvorgang durchführbar ist. Dazu kann der Bediener mittels Bedienelementen wie z. B. Tasten auf der Fernbedienung die entsprechenden Komponenten der ausgewählten Gruppe in Position fahren. Aus Sicherheitsgründen erfolgt dies über eine Zweitastenbedienung, so dass der Bediener während des Einstellvorgangs zumindest zwei Tasten gedrückt halten muss, um ein versehentliches Bedienen der Tasten zu verhindern. Eine der beiden Tasten wird dabei durch den Sicherheitswegrechner und eine durch den Betriebswegrechner erfasst, um die geforderte Redundanz herzustellen.Furthermore, it is provided that by means of the remote control of the adjustment process is feasible. For this purpose, the operator by means of controls such. For example, buttons on the remote control will move the appropriate components of the selected group into position. For safety reasons, this is done via a two-button operation, so that the operator must hold at least two buttons during the adjustment process to prevent inadvertent operation of the buttons. One of the two keys is detected by the safety path calculator and one by the operating path computer to produce the required redundancy.

Aus Sicherheitsgründen ist es weiterhin vorgesehen, dass beim Loslassen eines Bedienelements auf der Fernbedienung zur Einstellung der jeweiligen Gruppe wenigstens einer der beiden Rechner die Einstellbewegung der Gruppe anhält. Sobald der Bediener auch nur eine der beiden Tasten zur Einstellung der Komponenten an der jeweiligen Gruppe loslässt, wird der Einstellvorgang sofort durch den der losgelassenen Taste zugeordneten Rechner gestoppt und eine Gefährdung Unbeteiligter verhindert. Um den Einstellvorgang fortzusetzen, muss der Bediener den Einstellvorgang innerhalb eines Zeitfensters von z.B. 60 Sekunden fortsetzen, da nach Ablauf der 60 Sekunden ansonsten der Schalter an der Maschine aus Sicherheitsgründen erst wieder in die erste Stellung gebracht werden muss.For safety reasons, it is further provided that when you release a control on the remote control to set the respective group of at least one of the two computers stops the adjustment movement of the group. As soon as the operator releases only one of the two keys for setting the components of the respective group, the setting process is immediately stopped by the computer assigned to the released key and a risk of uninvolved persons is prevented. To continue the adjustment process, the operator must complete the adjustment process within a For example, after 60 seconds have elapsed, the switch on the machine must first be reset to the first position for safety reasons.

Erfindungsgemäß ist außerdem vorgesehen, dass bei Betätigung des Einstellvorgangs durch die Fernbedienung spätestens bei Erreichen einer vorgegebenen Sollposition für den Einstellvorgang der Betriebswegrechner die Bewegungen des Einstellvorgangs anhält. Auf diese Art und Weise werden zuverlässig die vorgegebenen Sollpositionen der zu verstellenden Komponenten erreicht, und der Bediener kann nicht über das vorgegebene Ziel hinausschießen, selbst dann, wenn der Bediener die Bedienelemente auf der Fernbedienung weiterhin gedrückt hält. Das kann optisch zusätzlich z.B. durch Aufleuchten des Schalters an der Maschine signalisiert werden, so dass der Bediener sicher ist, dass die Positionen auch tatsächlich erreicht wurden und nicht etwa der Einstellvorgang durch eine Blockade in der Maschine vorzeitig beendet wurde.According to the invention it is also provided that upon actuation of the adjustment process by the remote control at the latest when reaching a predetermined target position for the adjustment of the operation path calculator stops the movements of the adjustment process. In this way, the predetermined target positions of the components to be adjusted are reliably achieved, and the operator can not overshoot the predetermined target, even if the operator continues to hold down the controls on the remote control. This can be optically additionally e.g. be signaled by lighting the switch on the machine, so that the operator is sure that the positions were actually reached and not the setting process was terminated by a blockage in the machine prematurely.

Die vorgegebenen Sollpositionen werden dabei bevorzugt in einem übergeordneten Leitstandsrechner aus Auftragsdaten berechnet, welcher zumindest mit dem Betriebswegrechner in einer Kommunikationsverbindung steht. Der Leitstand berechnet anhand der Vorgaben des Bedienpersonals oder eines elektronisch übermittelten Auftrags die Sollpositionen für die zu verstellenden Komponenten an der Maschine, um den anstehenden Auftrag korrekt abarbeiten zu können. Die so berechneten Sollpositionen werden dann an den Betriebswegrechner übermittelt, welche mittels der Funkfernbedienung oder des Schalters an der Maschine angefahren werden können.The predetermined desired positions are preferably calculated in a higher-level control computer from order data, which is at least in communication with the operating-path computer. Based on the specifications of the operating personnel or an electronically transmitted order, the control center calculates the setpoint positions for the components to be adjusted on the machine so that the pending order can be processed correctly. The desired positions calculated in this way are then transmitted to the operating-path computer, which can be approached by means of the radio remote control or the switch on the machine.

Des Weiteren ist vorgesehen, dass bei Betätigung des Schalters in der zweiten Stellung der Einstellvorgang beginnt und beim Loslassen des Schalters Einstellvorgang anhält. Befindet sich der Schalter in der zweiten Stellung, kann das Einstellen der Komponenten nicht mittels der Fernbedienung vorgenommen werden, sondern erfolgt einzig und allein durch den Schalter an der jeweiligen Gruppe der Maschine. Dazu ist der Schalter bevorzugt als Schwenkschalter ausgeführt, welcher beim Loslassen des Schalters in eine Neutralposition zurückschwenkt. Sobald der Bediener den Schalter in der zweiten Stellung loslässt, hält der Betriebswegrechner den Einstellvorgang an, um die Anwesenheit des Bedienpersonals an dem Schalter während des Einstellvorgangs sicherzustellen.Furthermore, it is provided that upon actuation of the switch in the second position of the adjustment operation begins and stops when releasing the switch adjustment. If the switch is in the second position, the adjustment of the components can not be made by means of the remote control, but is done solely by the switch on the respective group of the machine. For this purpose, the switch is preferably designed as a swivel switch, which pivots back when releasing the switch in a neutral position. As soon as the operator releases the switch in the second position, it stops Operational calculator on the adjustment process to ensure the presence of the operator at the switch during the adjustment process.

Vorteilhafterweise ist außerdem vorgesehen, dass bei Erreichen einer vorgegebenen Sollposition des Einstellvorgangs der Einstellvorgang anhält. Analog zum Einstellvorgang mit der Fernbedienung wird auch beim Einstellvorgang über die Betätigung des Schalters in der zweiten Stellung an der Maschine ein korrektes Anfahren der vorgegebenen Sollpositionen sichergestellt. Ein Überfahren der vorgegebenen Sollpositionen wird somit vermieden, da bei Erreichen der vorgegebenen Sollposition der Betriebswegrechner den Einstellvorgang automatisch beendet, selbst dann, wenn der Bediener den Schalter weiterhin in der zweiten Stellung hält. Auch hier kann das Erreichen der Sollpositionen optisch zusätzlich z.B. durch Aufleuchten des Schalters an der Maschine signalisiert werden.Advantageously, it is also provided that upon reaching a predetermined desired position of the adjustment, the adjustment stops. Analogous to the setting process with the remote control, a correct approach of the predetermined target positions is ensured even during the adjustment process by actuating the switch in the second position on the machine. A crossing of the predetermined target positions is thus avoided, since upon reaching the predetermined target position of the operation path calculator automatically terminates the adjustment, even if the operator continues to hold the switch in the second position. Again, the achievement of the desired positions optically in addition, e.g. be signaled by lighting the switch on the machine.

Mittels der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es somit möglich, eine komfortable Bedienung einer Faltschachtelklebemaschine sowohl an der Maschine als auch über die Fernbedienung zu ermöglichen, wobei die vorgegebenen Sollpositionen präzise angefahren werden und zudem durch das der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Sicherheitskonzept sichergestellt wird, dass sich der Bediener immer in der Nähe der zu verstellenden Komponenten an der Maschine aufhält und so den möglicherweise gefährlichen Einstellvorgang im Blick behält.By means of the present invention, it is thus possible to enable convenient operation of a folding box gluing machine both on the machine and via the remote control, the predetermined setpoint positions being precisely approached and, moreover, being ensured by the security concept on which the invention is based, that the operator always stops near the components to be adjusted on the machine, thus keeping an eye on the potentially dangerous setting process.

Die vorliegende Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand zweier Figuren näher beschrieben und erläutert. Es zeigen:

The present invention will be described and explained in more detail below with reference to two figures. Show it:
FIG. 1
a Faltschachtelklebemaschine with an inventive device for adjusting components and
FIG. 2
a schematic circuit diagram with signal running of the control components involved in the Faltschachtelklebemaschine.

Figur 1 zeigt beispielhaft einzelne Bearbeitungsstationen 4, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14 einer solchen Faltschachtelklebemaschine 5. Die Faltschachtelklebemaschine 5 beginnt in Figur 1 rechts unten mit einem Einleger 1, der die zu verarbeitenden Zuschnitte mit hoher Geschwindigkeit aus einem Stapel nacheinander abzieht und einzeln der nachfolgenden Bearbeitungsstation zuführt. Im Anschluss an den Einleger 1 folgt eine Ausrichtestation 4, in der die Zuschnitte einzeln gegen einen seitlichen Anschlag ausgerichtet werden. Durch die Ausrichtstation führen quer positionierbare Maschinenkomponenten in Form von zwei Riemenpaaren, die als Förderelemente dienen und über Stellantriebe quer positioniert werden können. Anschließend folgt ein Vorbrecher 6 und ein erstes Faltmodul 7. Sowohl durch den Vorbrecher 6 als auch durch das Faltmodul 7 führen quer positionierbare Maschinenkomponenten in Form von Riemenpaaren als Förderelemente, die abhängig vom Zuschnittstyp mit einem Stellantrieb quer positioniert werden. FIG. 1 shows by way of example individual processing stations 4, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14 of such a folding box gluing machine 5. The folding box gluing machine 5 starts in FIG. 1 right below with a feeder 1, which withdraws the processed blanks from a stack at high speed in succession and feeds individually to the subsequent processing station. Following the insert 1 is followed by an alignment station 4, in which the blanks are individually aligned against a lateral stop. The alignment station is used to guide transversely positionable machine components in the form of two belt pairs, which serve as conveyor elements and can be transversely positioned via actuators. This is followed by a primary crusher 6 and a first folding module 7. Both through the primary crusher 6 and through the folding module 7, transversely positionable machine components in the form of belt pairs guide the conveying elements, which are positioned transversely with an actuator depending on the type of blank.

Auf das Faltmodul 7 folgt eine Drehstation 9. Die Drehstation 9 enthält zum Drehen der Zuschnitte um eine senkrechte Achse um 90° zwei parallel nebeneinander angeordnete Förderstrecken, deren Geschwindigkeit getrennt einstellbar ist. Die Zuschnitte liegen auf beiden Förderstrecken auf, so dass sie bei unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten der beiden Förderstrecken gedreht werden. Die beiden Förderstrecken enthalten angetriebene Rollen als Förderelemente.On the folding module 7 follows a turning station 9. The turning station 9 includes for rotating the blanks about a vertical axis by 90 ° two parallel juxtaposed conveyor lines whose speed is adjustable separately. The blanks are on both conveyor lines, so that they are rotated at different speeds of the two conveyor lines. The two conveyor lines contain driven rollers as conveying elements.

Im Anschluss an die Drehstation 9 folgt eine weitere Ausrichtestation 10, die in ihrem Aufbau der Ausrichtestation hinter dem Einleger 1 entspricht. Sie enthält somit wiederum quer positionierbare Maschinenkomponenten in Form von Förderriemenpaaren als Förderelemente.Subsequent to the turning station 9 is followed by a further alignment station 10, which corresponds in its construction of the alignment station behind the insert 1. It thus again contains transversely positionable machine components in the form of pairs of conveyor belts as conveying elements.

Die nächste Bearbeitungsstation 13 dient dazu, vom Schachteltyp abhängige Bearbeitungsvorgänge durchzuführen; beispielsweise werden weitere Rilllinien vorgebrochen oder Sonderfaltungen durchgeführt. Auch durch die Bearbeitungsstation 13 führen Riemenpaare als Förderelemente, die mit Stellantrieben quer positioniert werden können.The next processing station 13 serves to perform box-type dependent processing operations; For example, further score lines are pre-broken or special folds are performed. Also through the processing station 13 lead belt pairs as conveying elements that can be positioned transversely with actuators.

Anschließend folgt eine Faltstation 14, in der vorher mit einer Klebenaht versehene Zuschnittteile um 180° umgefaltet werden. Die Faltstation 14 enthält Riemenpaare als Förderelemente und ein Klebstoffauftragwerk, die mittels Stellantrieben in ihre vom Zuschnittstyp abhängige Querposition bewegt werden können. Anschließend folgt eine Überleitstation 15, von der die gefalteten, mit noch nicht abgebundenen Klebenähten versehenen Zuschnitte in allen Teilen exakt ausgerichtet der nachfolgenden Sammel- und Presseinrichtung 16 zugeführt werden. In der Sammel- und Presseinrichtung 16 wird zunächst ein Schuppenstrom aus gefalteten Zuschnitten gebildet, der anschließend zwischen fördernden Pressbändern für einige Zeit unter Druck gehalten wird, damit die Klebenähte abbinden. Die Überleitstation 15 enthält ebenfalls Riemenpaare, die mittels Stellantrieben querverstellt werden können.This is followed by a folding station 14, in which the blank parts previously provided with an adhesive seam are folded over by 180 °. The folding station 14 contains pairs of belts as conveying elements and an adhesive applicator, which by means of actuators in their from Cutting type dependent transverse position can be moved. This is followed by a transfer station 15, from which the folded blanks, provided with not yet set adhesive seams, are exactly aligned in all parts with the subsequent collecting and pressing device 16. In the collecting and pressing device 16, a shingled stream of folded blanks is first formed, which is subsequently held under pressure for some time between conveying press belts, so that the adhesive seams set. The transfer station 15 also contains pairs of belts that can be transversely adjusted by means of actuators.

Die Faltschachtelklebemaschine 5 in Figur 1 weist einen Leitstandsrechner 2 auf, welcher es dem Bediener B der Maschine erlaubt, Sollwertvorgaben für einen neuen Bearbeitungsauftrag zu machen. Der Leitstandsrechner 2 kann in die Maschine 5 integriert sein oder in einem separaten Pult außerhalb der Maschine 5 untergebracht sein, so wie dies Figur 1 zeigt. Der Bediener B kann am Leitstand 2 über eine Tastatur oder einen Touchscreen anstehende Aufträge abrufen und die Sollwerte berechnen lassen. Die Sollwertvorgaben zur Einstellung der Komponenten in der Maschine 5 werden über eine Kommunikationsverbindung an die Steuerung der Maschine 5 übertragen.The folder gluer 5 in FIG. 1 has a control center computer 2, which allows the operator B of the machine to make setpoint specifications for a new machining job. The control computer 2 may be integrated in the machine 5 or housed in a separate console outside the machine 5, as well as this FIG. 1 shows. The operator B can call up orders pending at the control station 2 via a keyboard or a touchscreen and have the setpoints calculated. The setpoint specifications for adjusting the components in the machine 5 are transmitted via a communication link to the control of the machine 5.

Die Faltschachtelklebemaschine 5 weist zwei Gruppen von Bearbeitungsstationen G1, Gn auf, wobei jeder Gruppe mindestens ein Antriebsmotor M zugeordnet ist sowie jeweils ein Schwenkschalter S1, Sn. In Figur 1 ist nur ein Motor M pro Gruppe G1,Gn dargestellt, es sind jedoch meist mehrere Motoren M pro Gruppe Gn,G1 vorhanden, bevorzugt pro Station 9,10, 13,14 ein Motor M. Die Einzelschalter S11 und S12 dienen dazu, einzelne Stationen einer Gruppe S1 und deren Motor M separat einzustellen, wobei jeweils zwei Bewegungen möglich sind wie z.B. links und rechts, hoch und runter oder vor und zurück. Die Einzelschalter S11 und S12 haben jedoch für die vorliegende Erfindung keine Bedeutung. Des Weiteren ist in der Faltschachtelklebemaschine 5 eine Steuerung bestehend aus einem Sicherheitsrechner SR und einem Betriebswegrechner BR angeordnet, wobei die Einstellwerte des Leitstandrechners 2 vom Betriebswegrechner BR entgegengenommen werden und der Betriebswegrechner BR die Motoren M der Gruppen G1, Gn entsprechend den Sollwerten ansteuern kann. Der Leitstandsrechner 2 weist außerdem eine Sende- und Empfangseinheit 3 auf, welche mit einer Fernbedienung F kommunizieren kann. Auf diese Art und Weise kann das Bedienpersonal B die Einstellvorgänge an der Faltschachtelklebemaschine 5 nicht nur über die Schwenkschalter S1, Sn sondern auch über die Fernbedienung F vornehmen.The folding box gluing machine 5 has two groups of processing stations G1, Gn, wherein each group is assigned at least one drive motor M and in each case one swivel switch S1, Sn. In FIG. 1 only one motor M per group G1, Gn is shown, but there are usually several motors M per group Gn, G1 present, preferably one station per station 9, 10, 13, 14. The individual switches S 11 and S 12 are used to To set individual stations of a group S1 and their motor M separately, with two movements are possible such as left and right, up and down or back and forth. However, the individual switches S 11 and S 12 have no significance for the present invention. Furthermore, in the folder gluer 5, a control consisting of a safety computer SR and an operation path computer BR is arranged, the settings of the control center computer 2 being received by the operation path computer BR and the operation path computer BR being able to control the motors M of the groups G1, Gn according to the desired values. The control computer 2 also has a transmitting and receiving unit 3, which with a remote control F can communicate. In this way, the operator B can make the setting operations on the Faltschachtelklebemaschine 5 not only on the pivot switch S1, Sn but also on the remote control F.

Die Schalter S1, Sn sind als sogenannte Schwenkschalter ausgeführt, welche durch eine Federkraft in einer Neutralposition gehalten werden, es können aber auch andere Schalter mit automatischer Rückstellung in die Neutralposition verwendet werden. Der Bediener B kann die Schwenkschalter S1, Sn in eine erste Stellung und in eine zweite Stellung drehen. Sobald der Bediener B den Schwenkschalter S1, Sn wieder loslässt, kehrt der Schwenkschalter S1, Sn in die Neutralposition zurück.The switches S1, Sn are designed as so-called pivot switches, which are held by a spring force in a neutral position, but it can also be used with other switches with automatic return to the neutral position. The operator B can turn the swivel switches S1, Sn to a first position and to a second position. As soon as the operator B releases the swivel switch S1, Sn again, the swivel switch S1, Sn returns to the neutral position.

Die Faltschachtelklebemaschine 5 und deren Bearbeitungsstationen sind im Wesentlichen unverkleidet, was mit entsprechenden Gefahren für Personen verbunden ist, da lediglich Einzelschutzmaßnahmen vorhanden sind. Aus diesem Grund muss sichergestellt werden, dass sich der Bediener B auch mit der Fernbedienung F immer in Sichtweite der jeweiligen Gruppe G1, Gn von Bearbeitungsstationen aufhält, an der er Einstellvorgänge vornehmen will, so dass der Bediener B sieht, ob gegebenenfalls andere Personen dort gefährdet werden können.The Faltschachtelklebemaschine 5 and their processing stations are essentially unclothed, which is associated with corresponding risks to persons, since only individual protection measures are available. For this reason, it must be ensured that the operator B, even with the remote control F, always stays within sight of the respective group G1, Gn of processing stations at which he wants to carry out setting operations, so that the operator B sees whether or not other persons are at risk there can be.

In Figur 2 ist schematisch der Aufbau der Steuerung der Faltschachtelklebemaschine 5 gezeigt. Die Steuerung besteht im Wesentlichen aus dem Betriebswegrechner BR und dem Sicherheitsrechner SR, der Betriebswegrechner BR kommuniziert zudem mit dem übergeordneten Leitstandsrechner 2. Am Leitstandsrechner 2 kann der Bediener B Schachtelgrößen eingeben oder aufrufen, woraus der Leitstandsrechner 2 Sollwerte für die Einstellvorgänge der Komponenten der Gruppen G1, Gn berechnet. Wenn der Bediener B z.B. an der Gruppe G1 entsprechende Einstellvorgänge vornehmen will, so hat er die Möglichkeit, dies entweder über die Fernbedienung F oder den Schalter S1 zu tun. In beiden Fällen wird jedoch der erste Schritt des Einstellvorgangs durch den gleichen Signalgeber nämlich den Schalter S1 eingeleitet.In FIG. 2 The structure of the control of the folding box gluing machine 5 is shown schematically. The control consists essentially of the Betriebswegrechner BR and the security computer SR, the Betriebswegrechner BR also communicates with the parent control center computer 2. At the central computer 2, the operator B can enter or call box sizes, from which the control computer 2 setpoints for the setting operations of the components of the groups G1 , Gn calculated. For example, if the operator B wants to make appropriate adjustments to the group G1, he has the opportunity to do so either via the remote control F or the switch S1. In both cases, however, the first step of the setting process is initiated by the same signal generator namely the switch S1.

Wenn der Bediener B den Schalter in die Stellung 1 dreht, so kann der Bediener B anschließend die Fernbedienung F verwenden. In diesem Fall wird ein entsprechendes Signal an den Betriebswegrechner BR gesendet und der Betriebswegrechner BR startet ein Zeitfenster von z. B. 60 Sekunden. Innerhalb der 60 Sekunden Frist muss der Bediener B dann mittels der Fernbedienung F die Bewegung der Komponenten an der Gruppe G1 durch Drücken zweier Tasten einleiten.When operator B turns the switch to position 1, operator B can then use remote control F. In this case, a corresponding Signal sent to the operating-path computer BR and the operating-path computer BR starts a time window of z. For example 60 seconds. Within the 60 second period, the operator B then has to initiate the movement of the components on the group G1 by pressing two keys by means of the remote control F.

Den eigentlichen Einstellvorgang, d. h. das Bewegen der zugehörigen Antriebsmotoren M löst der Bediener B durch das Drücken der beiden Tasten auf der Fernbedienung F aus. Nur wenn der Bediener B beide Tasten auf der Fernbedienung F gedrückt hält, nehmen die Motoren M der Gruppe G1 den Einstellvorgang vor. Durch das Drücken der beiden Tasten auf der Fernbedienung F wird jeweils ein entsprechendes Signal an den Betriebswegrechner BR und an den Sicherheitsrechner SR gesendet. Beide Rechner BR, SR geben dann die Bewegung der Motoren M frei und die Motoren M können die Einstellungen vornehmen. Wenn der Bediener B auch nur eine der beiden Tasten auf der Fernbedienung F loslässt, so stoppt die Bewegung und das Zeitfenster von 60 Sekunden läuft von Neuem an. Erfolgt keine Betätigung der Tasten auf der Fernbedienung F innerhalb der 60 Sekundenfrist, so muss nach Ablauf des Zeitfensters der gesamte Einstellvorgang mittels des Schalters S1 an der Maschine 5 neu gestartet werden. Durch die Bedienung über zwei Tasten auf der Fernbedienung F wird sichergestellt, dass der Bediener B nicht aus Versehen die Bewegung der Motoren M auslöst, sondern nur dann, wenn er bewusst beide Tasten gedrückt hält. Sobald die Motoren M die über den Leitstandsrechner 2 vorgegebenen Sollpositionen erreicht haben, stoppen die Motoren M die Bewegung und der Einstellvorgang an der Gruppe G1 ist beendet. Zudem beginnen in den Schalter S1 integrierte Leuchtmittel aufzuleuchten, so dass der Bediener B sicher ist, dass die Sollpositionen auch tatsächlich erreicht wurden.The actual setting process, d. H. the movement of the associated drive motors M triggers the operator B by pressing the two buttons on the remote control F. Only when the operator B keeps both buttons on the remote controller F pressed, the motors M of the group G1 make the setting operation. By pressing the two buttons on the remote control F, a respective signal is sent to the operating-path computer BR and to the security computer SR. Both computers BR, SR then release the movement of the motors M and the motors M can make the settings. If operator B releases any of the two buttons on the remote control F, the movement will stop and the 60 second window will restart. If no operation of the buttons on the remote control F within the 60 second period, so after the time window has elapsed, the entire adjustment process using the switch S1 on the machine 5 to be restarted. Operation by means of two buttons on the remote control F ensures that the operator B does not inadvertently trigger the movement of the motors M, but only if he deliberately keeps both buttons pressed. As soon as the motors M have reached the desired positions predefined via the control computer 2, the motors M stop the movement and the setting process on the group G1 is ended. In addition, bulbs integrated in the switch S1 start to illuminate, so that the operator B is certain that the setpoint positions have actually been reached.

Alternativ kann der Bediener B den Einstellvorgang an der Gruppe G1 auch direkt an der Faltschachtelklebemaschine 5 mittels des Schalters S1 vornehmen. In diesem Fall dreht der Bediener den Schalter S1 in die Stellung 2, woraufhin entsprechende Signale an den Betriebswegrechner BR und Sicherheitsrechner SR gesendet werden und sich die Motoren M der Stationen der Gruppe G1 in Bewegung setzen. Sobald der Bediener B den Schwenkschalter S1 in der Stellung 2 loslässt, halten die Motoren M an und die möglicherweise gefährlichen Bewegungen beim Einstellvorgang werden gestoppt. Auch bei dieser Variante stoppt die Bewegung des Motors M beim Einstellvorgang der Gruppe G1 spätestens dann, wenn die vom Leitstandrechner 2 vorgegebene Sollpositionen erreicht sind, zudem leuchtet auch hier der Schalter S1 auf.Alternatively, the operator B can also make the setting operation on the group G1 directly on the folding box gluing machine 5 by means of the switch S1. In this case, the operator turns the switch S1 to the position 2, whereupon corresponding signals are sent to the operating-path computer BR and safety computer SR and the motors M of the stations of the group G1 are set in motion. As soon as the operator B releases the swivel switch S1 in the position 2, the motors M stop and the possibly dangerous movements during the setting process are stopped. Also In this variant, the movement of the motor M during the adjustment process of the group G1 stops at the latest when the setpoint positions predetermined by the control station computer 2 are reached; in addition, the switch S1 also lights up here.

Nach dem Einstellvorgang an der Gruppe G1 kann sich der Bediener B zur nächsten Gruppe Gn bewegen und dort ebenfalls entsprechend Einstellungen z. B. an Rollwangen vornehmen, wobei er auch bei der Gruppe Gn die Möglichkeit hat wie in der Gruppe G1 zwischen der Einstellung mit der Fernbedienung F oder dem Schalter Sn in Stellung 2 zu wählen. Auf diese Art und Weise kann der Bediener B nach und nach sämtliche Gruppen G1, Gn von Bearbeitungsstationen einstellen und dann am Leitstandsrechner 2 die Faltschachtelklebemaschine 5 auf Produktion schalten. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist dabei sichergestellt, dass während der Einstellvorgänge der Bediener B immer in der Nähe der einzustellenden Gruppe G1, Gn ist und sich auch bei Einsatz der Fernbedienung F zumindest in der Nähe der einzustellenden Gruppe G1, Gn aufhält und so mögliche Gefahren im Auge behält.After the setting operation on the group G1, the operator B can move to the next group Gn and there also according to settings z. B. on roll cheeks, where he also has the opportunity in the group Gn to choose as in the group G1 between the setting with the remote control F or the switch Sn in position 2. In this way, the operator B can gradually set all groups G1, Gn of processing stations and then switch the folding box gluing machine 5 to production at the control center computer 2. With the device according to the invention it is ensured that during the setting operations, the operator B is always in the vicinity of the group to be adjusted G1, Gn and even when using the remote control F at least in the vicinity of the group G1, Gn to be adjusted and thus possible dangers in Eye keeps.
