Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for operating a thread stitching machine according to claim 1. It also relates to a thread stitching machine for performing a method for the processing of printed sheets to book block according to claim 13.
  • the EP 1 561 599 A1 is concerned with the exact and flexible positioning of normal format, folded sheet on a saddle, which are connected to a book block, ie thread-stitched.
  • the thread stitching machine has, inter alia, a feed conveyor and a downstream saddle stitch.
  • the printed sheets are taken over by means of a conveyor device of the saddle from the feeder and transported in a stapling position on the saddle.
  • the conveyor device is drive-connected to a trained by a computer-connected control, angle-controlled electric motor.
  • the computer has a data memory, in which format-related data different sheets are stored, whereby the conveyor is easily adjustable or convertible to a specific format size of the sheet to be processed.
  • the end position of a sheet defining stop can be arranged, which serves to align the leading edge of the respective sheet.
  • the stapling position may also be assigned a sensor which determines the end position of a printed sheet and is aligned with the binding saddle.
  • the invention aims to remedy this situation.
  • the invention as characterized in the claims, the object is based, in a method for operating a thread stitching machine and a thread stitching machine for performing a method for the processing of printed sheets to book block of the type mentioned, a positional positioning format different sheets in front of a sewing station accomplish a holistic automated production of book blocks possible becomes. It is also an object of the invention to introduce under-sized printed sheets in a position-specific manner within a composite of normal-format printed sheets.
  • a transport path for printed sheets is proposed, which is operated between an upstream opener system and a downstream sewing station.
  • This transport route consists essentially of a first transport route, called auxiliary caliper in thread stitching machines, and a downstream second transport section, called stitch saddle in thread stitching machines.
  • Auxiliary saddle and saddle are common expressions in the industry, and are intended to express that these are autonomously acting sub-transport sections, which, however, have an operational interdependence with respect to the transport of the printed sheets.
  • the inventive method is operated integrally regardless of the starting position, whether pure "normal format” printed sheets are transported, or intermittently, i. as needed, "under-format” printed sheets are processed.
  • under-sized printed sheets into the normal-sized printed sheets can be extended to the effect that the first-mentioned printed sheets can be positioned respectively. location-specific within a book block can be positioned. This means that under-sized sheets in a book block compared to the normal format sheet either flush (flush left on the saddle in the transport run), flush (right-aligned on the saddle in the transport run), centered or arbitrarily positioned and can be attached, which here is assumed that the Saddle felt in the direction of transport seen from the front operated on the left of the auxiliary caliper.
  • the main advantage of the invention is the fact that the proposed delivery system is able to print sheets of different formats, respectively. different arc lengths within an uninterrupted production of the sewing station safely, correctly positioned and without loss of production supply.
  • the possibility is created here of hiding sub-sized printed sheets, offprint sheets or other insertions in a book or book block without having to interrupt the stapling process or to merge book parts in the subsequent course.
  • the drive belonging to the auxiliary caliper drive chain which has hitherto been mechanical or was rigidly adjusted by means of a multi-tooth clutch and a magnetic brake when setting to a specific format is preferably replaced by an asynchronous motor, which is controlled by a servo.
  • Said detecting means may be readily operated independently, or it may be provided in redundancy with the predetermined sequence of the sheets to be transported.
  • a booklet to be stapled consists of, for example, ten printed sheets, for the sake of explanation it is assumed that 9 printed sheets are of normal size, that is, they have the same size of format, a printed sheet is assumed to be under-sized, this means a shorter sheet length.
  • the pre-entry of all printed sheets is first done according to uniform principles, ie either head or foot side ahead. If the magazines are loaded individually or if the filing takes place by hand by way of exception, the initially defined sequences must always be strictly adhered to.
  • the book sewing machine directs its production, i. their bars, in the largest format to stapling.
  • the delivery system leads the sheets one after the other from the magazine via an opener system astride the auxiliary saddle, where the single sheet is taken from the foot side by a driver element (driving finger) and forwarded until they can be taken over at the head end of a book saddle belonging sheet feeding system, the acquisition the print sheet is done on the head side. Immediately after this acquisition, the printed sheets are transported along the saddle with great acceleration. For the observer this process seems to proceed as if the sheets were pulled away from the auxiliary saddle or shot away by the belonging to the saddle stitch sheet feeding system.
  • the sheets are preferably first detected head-side via a photocell.
  • the distance between the driver element and Bogeneinschubsystem corresponds exactly to the set arc length of the normal format sheet.
  • this sheet would be 5 conventional format setting by a length amount ⁇ later arrive at the saddle stitch, and therefore could not in the desired manner be detected by the sheet insertion system on the head side and transported on. It would then inevitably lead to a collision with the already in stapling position moving saddle, which would then lead to a stop of the system.
  • the independently driven driving chain now pushes the sheet over the associated driver element during the transport route on the auxiliary caliper to the ⁇ -length in the transport direction. This is done by an intertemporal acceleration of the driver chain. Once then the ⁇ -length amount caught up is, the carrier chain takes back their usual transport speed. With this measure, it is thus ensured that the under-sized sheet edge, which is the head side of the corresponding sheet, at the same time on the saddle stitch, as was the case earlier with respect to the normal-sized sheet, so that there detection confirms the proper production process and releases.
  • the sheet insertion system of the saddle saddle can work independently of format by first a detection of the leading edge of the sheet and then a detection of the trailing edge is made, the respective confirmation that the trailing edge of the respective sheet the transition between auxiliary saddle and stitch saddle time correct Warranty means that both under-sized and normal-sized press sheets are positioned accurately and holistically on the book saddle.
  • the carrier chain automatically resets itself to the original length of the normal-sized sheet due to a negative acceleration (deceleration).
  • the ⁇ -length amount is now reset by the now slower moving sheet transport again, so that the delivery system has again taken on the normal format printed sheet related original state.
  • the recording of the different signature formats will proceed as follows: First, the stroke distance X is assigned to a normal format signature. A sub-format printed sheet, which is to be attached flush with the head (left-justified in the transport run), is logically assigned the stroke distance X as well. It can now be moved to optimize the movements of the book saddle immediately after the detection of the trailing edge of this sheet against the sewing center.
  • the stroke distance X-Y is assigned, wherein the value Y in this case corresponds to the selected distance of the lower format sheet compared to Kopfbußkeit the normal format sheet.
  • driver element or the driver elements with complementary driver chains, be protected by profile parts, so that the operator of the machine during manual operation of these driver elements can not be detected.
  • the main advantage of the invention is also to be seen in the fact that a device is provided which enables fully automatic, positional arbitrary positioning of under-sized signature on the saddle within a normal-sized book block.
  • All to be bound sheets, even the underformatigen, are always at the same time (machine angle) at the entrance of the book saddle belonging sheet insertion system, such that the forward direction of each sheet passes in the conveying direction the transition between auxiliary saddle and stitch saddle time correct.
  • the sensor for controlling the servomotor for the operation of the sheet insertion system has a mechanically defined position within the transport path and is not adjustable, thus ensuring that a reproducibility in the processes is ensured.
  • a travel is assigned, which can be different depending on the desired position within the book. It is also possible to process books of different formats with or without under-sized printing sheets in the sequence. The number and position of the sub-format sheets are arbitrary and can vary from book to book. Such books can be conventionally printed or digitally produced, with the latter method, the requirements for "on demand” books are particularly advantageous to bear.
  • the information on the travel distance can be manually via Commander or via printed on the sheet (barcode) or RFID radio chips that are incorporated into the sheet or from a higher-level control system (eg: via JDF data), or off a database are transmitted to the control of the Bogeneinschubssystems.
  • An adjustable stop located on the saddle is intended to be used preferably for the largest to be printed sheet of the respective book block, in which case it must be selected whether the head-side positioning of the introduced sheet only by the stop or by the Control certain travel is created, and if at best, a redundancy between the two arrangements is provided.
  • the stitching saddle is provided with an adjustable and motor-driven stop which can take a different position on the stitch saddle at each machine cycle by automatic adjustment, the capture of this situation only in the alternative in cooperation with the respective given by the control travel can be used, if necessary, only in a redundant manner.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the stop can also consist in that positive studded belt can be used, such knobs in the conveying direction precede the sheet, and can serve as a freely positionable stop in arbitrary position on the saddle when arbitrary positional stop the system.
  • the delivery system described here in connection with a book sewing machine can also be applied to pure saddle stitchers, where it is not a thread printed with printed sheets or other supplements with different format lengths not thread-stitched produce, but feet to transport and head end position accurately on.
  • a format change can take place automatically at full machine speed within the production, regardless of whether it is smaller or larger press sheet sizes.
  • the system according to the invention also offers the possibility of dispensing with attacks in principle, or to include them selectively only where it makes sense.
  • Fig. 1 shows a transport path for sheet, which is located between an opener system not shown in detail and a sewing station 300 also not shown in detail.
  • This transport route consists of an auxiliary saddle 1 and a secondary stitch saddle 2.
  • Auxiliary saddle 1 and stitch saddle 2 are autonomously acting partial transport sections; but they have a compelling interdependence on each other for the transport of the printed sheets, ie, they are in operative operative connection with one another. This initial situation is in itself independent of whether pure "normal-sized” printed sheets 100 or whether intermittently "under-sized” printed sheets 200 are transported.
  • the terminology chosen for "normal” and “under-format” states nothing more than that the normal sized sheets have a uniform dimension that coincides with the actual size of the book block.
  • the under-sized printing sheets are those printed sheets, which have a smaller dimensioning compared to the normal format sheet.
  • the under-sized printing sheets can have deviations both in terms of their sheet length and their sheet width, wherein the sheet width does not come into play here in the inventive transport.
  • the under-sized printed sheets can occur distributed over the entire book block, or form a coherent package within the book block.
  • the FIG. 1 shows what is important here when transporting astride printed sheets with different bow lengths.
  • the auxiliary caliper 1 has an autonomous promotion of the printing sheets 100, 200, which ensures the positionally correct further promotion in the sheet transport direction 4 sustainably by a motor 3 with rotary encoder and sprocket.
  • the initial transport of the sheet to the auxiliary caliper 1 is not shown in detail; also not shown in more detail is the ⁇ ffnersystem in which the sheets are opened and then by a likewise not shown conveyor belt, along which the sheets 100, 200 detected non-positively and further transported.
  • each driver element 6 acts only on a signature that is detected by the driver element 6 laterally and below the back of the sheet.
  • the driver element 6 thus pushes forward in time the printed sheet recorded along the base of the auxiliary saddle 1 in the direction of the saddle 2 of the saddle.
  • FIG. 1 flash-like a position of the transported normal-sized sheet 100, which at the end of the auxiliary caliper 1 resp. immediately before the saddle 2 is located.
  • the sheet 100 is thus at the point of engagement of a saddle 2 belonging Bogeneinschubsystems 7.
  • the sheet 100 is thus first pushed by the driver 6 towards Bogeneinschubsystem 7, where the sheet is then from the driven by a servo motor 9 Bogeneinschubsystem 7 head-side taken over resp. recorded and carried on the saddle 2 with acceleration on.
  • the saddle 2 is located during this process carried out by the Bogeneinschubsystem 7 transport process in a so-called loading position.
  • the saddle 2 has a lower side Vorsattel 8, which basically performs the vertical movement of the saddle 2; the final pivotal movement of the saddle 2 loaded with the signature to the sewing station 300, not shown in more detail, is usually performed by a top part 10 belonging to the saddle 2. This means that the stitching saddle 2 leads from its loading position the printed sheets to the sewing station 300 via a vertical / pivotable movement.
  • FIG. 1 shows further that the next sheet 200 with a sub-sized sheet length coming from the opener system 4 has already reached the auxiliary caliper 1, this sheet 200 is also detected in the same manner as the previous normal-sized sheet 100 by a next follower element 6 and transported ahead , First of all, however, the leading standard-sized printed sheet 100 must have been handed over to the saddle 2 in line with the cycle.
  • a control function which consists of a sensor 11 detecting at the end of the auxiliary caliper 1, which detects a correct absolute position of the respective printed sheet by first detecting its front edge. If the detected detection confirms that both conditions (position and qualification of the printed sheet are given, then the incoming printed sheet, here in FIG. 1 shown as a sheet 100, neatly passed to the loading saddle 2 located in loading position. The printed sheet 100, which is detected on the head side by the sheet insertion system 7, is then transported on the saddle 2 with the implementation of a strong acceleration and conveyed further into the region of an end position, from where this sheet is subsequently fed to the sewing station 300. The same sensor 11 also continuously detects that the foot-side edge of the respective printed sheet has passed this position at the end of the auxiliary caliper 1 in conformity with the clock.
  • a further sensor 12 having a defined position is disposed in operative connection with the sheet insertion system 7 at its inlet, which is connected to the control of the servomotor 9, which, as already mentioned , forms the drive of the trained example with a pair of belts Bogeneinschubsystem 7. If the sensor 12 detects the printed sheet, a signal is sent to the control of the servomotor 9, with the aid of a curve assigned to the printed sheet, to travel down a travel path X.
  • the travel X is normally slightly longer than the back length of the maximum format of the book block to be stapled, so the normal size, so the back length of the book block.
  • the servo motor 9 accelerates the printed sheet first and brakes it towards the end of the travel path X and brings it to a standstill there.
  • the system for detecting the printed sheets can also be supplemented by a further reading device 14, which reads in the stroke associated with the printed sheet, and then transmits this information to an automation device, as is known FIG. 2 , Pos. 16.
  • the example shown here goes according to FIG. 1 assuming that the printing sheets 100, 200 along the auxiliary caliper 1 are pushed forward on the foot side by the entrainment elements 6, and which are then grasped on the head side by the sheet insertion system 7 of the binding saddle 2.
  • the sheets could also be delivered by the opener system 4 rotated 180 °, then the effected by the driver elements 6 sliding along the auxiliary caliper 2 would be done on the head side, and the sheets would then logically fussher by the Sheet insertion system 7 detected and transported along the saddle stitch 2 on.
  • the positioning of the individual printed sheets on the saddle can be accomplished exclusively by the control, whereby in extreme cases this control can also continuously specify a changed position of the individual printed sheets.
  • the positioning of the individual printed sheets can also be achieved exclusively by activating at least one stop.
  • a stop 13 which marks on the saddle 2 the head-side end position of the normal-sized printing sheet 100, and possibly also forms a stop point of a lower-format printing sheet 200, which is positioned flush with the head, ie left-aligned.
  • the predetermined by the stop positioning of the individual sheets can also accomplish not underzufaci certain undersize printed sheet by the attack by the controller, according to the size and the position to be taken of the corresponding sheet in conjunction with the rest, assume its position.
  • the stop can thus change its position continuously by essentially horizontal displacements. It is also possible that the stop in the correct place at the right time from the book saddle pops up from the saddle.
  • a combination of the two described positioning systems can be used as well, whereby the main application of the one system in combination with the other on a case-by-case basis.
  • the head-side positioning of a normal-sized signature can be accomplished solely by the controller, and, for example, achieve the foot-side or intermediate positioning of a sub-format signature via the activation of the stop.
  • Reverse procedures are of course also possible.
  • the two positioning systems can also be used in a redundant manner.
  • the procedure is as follows in terms of control technology. Since the under-sized signature 200 has a ⁇ smaller arc length compared to the normal-sized sheet 100, is the next clock compliant incoming driver 6 by the amount too far from the lower format sheet 200, because this driver element 6 still on the normal format of the previous sheet 100th is set. In order for the driver element 6 to be used to catch the leading under-sized printed sheet 200, the driver chain 5 is correspondingly accelerated by the motor 3, which may preferably also be an asynchronous motor, ie, an additional is provided by the intertemporal acceleration Compensated for the ⁇ -amount compared to the machine speed.
  • the motor 3 which may preferably also be an asynchronous motor, ie, an additional is provided by the intertemporal acceleration Compensated for the ⁇ -amount compared to the machine speed.

  • the position of the under-sized printing sheet 200 shifts holistically by the difference ⁇ , which makes up the sheet-length difference between the two printing sheets 100 and 200.
  • the driver element 6 in use picks up the difference in the sheet length by the difference ⁇ , and then continues at the original machine speed. This is achieved by this intertemporal acceleration that the said driver element 6 can catch up with the underprint sheet 200 targeted.
  • the saddle 2 is driven integrally, ie, including its elements, by a vertical / pivoting movement to the sewing station 300 and back.
  • the acceleration triggered by the sheet insertion system 7 and acting on the print sheets is preferably accomplished by the already mentioned servomotor 9, which immediately goes to high acceleration after detection of the print sheet.

  • the system is also suitable for providing that the auxiliary saddle 1 can be equipped with two independently operating driving chains, wherein one driving chain operates exclusively for the normal-sized printing sheets, while the newly provided driving chain specifically transports the under-format printing sheets, and consequently only intervenes, when it comes to conveying under-sized printing sheets.
  • one driving chain operates exclusively for the normal-sized printing sheets
  • the newly provided driving chain specifically transports the under-format printing sheets, and consequently only intervenes, when it comes to conveying under-sized printing sheets.
  • the first driver chain then has to be in active contact with the second in terms of the clock, so that the saddle is not overwhelmed by a too fast delivery of printed sheets.
