Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schneidemaschine für Wurst oder dergleichen, mit einem Kreismesser, einem gegen das Kreismesser verfahrbaren Schnittgutwagen und einer die Schnittstärke bestimmenden, parallel verschiebbaren Anschlagplatte, sowie mit einer über eine Sensoreinrichtung ansteuerbaren Ablegeeinrichtung, beispielsweise mit Kettenrahmen und Schläger, und mit einem Ablegetablett, insbesondere mit Folienzuführung und Schweißeinrichtung zur Bereitstellung von verpacktem Aufschnitt, wobei Signale der Sensoreinrichtung einer Steuerung zur Bestimmung der Höhe und der Länge der Querschnittsfläche des Schnittgutes zuführbar sind.The invention relates to a cutting machine for sausage or the like, with a circular blade, a movable against the circular knife Schnittgutwagen and the thickness determining, parallel sliding stop plate, as well as with a controllable via a sensor device depositing device, for example with chain frame and racket, and with a tray, in particular with a film feed and welding device for providing packaged cold cuts, wherein signals of the sensor device can be fed to a controller for determining the height and the length of the cross-sectional area of the cut material.

Maschinen dieser Bauart können geschnittene Scheiben zum Beispiel von Wurst auf einem Ablegetablett in Zeilen überlappend auflegen. Mehrere Zeilen überlappen einander, sodass sich ein in zwei Achsenrichtungen überlappendes Muster bzw. Ablegebild ergilt. Da das Schnittgut (Wurst) sortenbedingt unterschiedliche Durchmesser ("Kaliber") aufweist, hat man die Abstände der Scheiben und der Zeilen zueinander im Ablegeprogramm der Maschine dem Durchmesser entsprechend angepasst, um ein ansprechendes Ablegebild zu erhalten. Das Programm wird über Sensoren geführt, die beim Schneidevorgang den Schnittgutdurchmesser erfassen. Dies erfolgt etwa durch eine Lichtschranke kurz vor dem Kreismesser, die durch das Schnittgut beim Vorschub des Schnittgutwagens unterbrochen wird. Ab diesem Signal wird der Vorschubweg des Schnittgutwagens gemessen (Wegimpulszählung), der den Schnittgutdurchmesser oder der Länge von Schnittgut (zum Beispiel Speck) entspricht. Große Kaliber können enger gelegt werden. Der Ablegepunkt muss so eingestellt sein, dass das Schnittgut seitlich nicht über die zum Ablegen vorgesehene Fläche (zum Beispiel eine Verpackungsfolie) übersteht. Um diese Forderung in zwei Koordinatenrichtungen zu erfüllen und damit insbesondere bei Schneidemaschinen mit integrierter oder nachfolgender Verpackungseinrichtung durch Verschweißen zweier den Aufschnitt einhüllender Folien ein perfektes Ablegen im Sollbereich bei jedem Schnittgut zu garantieren, sind weitere Maßnahmen im Rahmen der Steuerung der Aufschnitt Schneidemaschine erforderlich.Machines of this type can overlap sliced slices of, for example, sausage on a tray in rows. Multiple lines overlap each other, resulting in a pattern overlapping or overlapping in two axis directions. Since the cuttings (sausage) has different types of diameter ("caliber") depending on the variety, the distances of the discs and the lines to each other in the storage program of the machine has been adapted to the diameter in order to obtain an appealing deposit image. The program is guided by sensors that detect the cut material diameter during the cutting process. This is done for example by a light barrier shortly before the circular blade, which is interrupted by the clippings during the advance of the trolley. From this signal, the feed path of the trolley is measured (distance pulse count), which corresponds to the Schnittgutdurchmesser or the length of clippings (for example, bacon). Big calibers can be tighter. The depositing point must be set so that the clippings do not protrude laterally beyond the area intended for storage (for example, a wrapping film). In order to meet this requirement in two coordinate directions, and thus to ensure a perfect placement in the desired range for each cut, especially in cutting machines with integrated or subsequent packaging device by welding two slices enveloping the slicing, further measures in the context of controlling the cold cuts cutting machine are required.

Aus der WO 2008/135219 A ist in diesem Sinn eine Aufschnittschneidemaschine bekannt, die in der Anschlagplatte knapp vor dem Kreismesser eine Sensoreinrichtung in Form einer vertikalen Sensorleiste aus einer Vielzahl von kapazitiven Sensoren umfasst. Beim Schneidvorgang werden von unten nach oben je nach Größe des Schnittgutes mehr oder weniger dieser Sensoren abgedeckt. Auf diese Weise kann die Querschnittshöhe des Schnittgutes bestimmt werden. Die Querschnittslänge wird über den Verschiebungsweg des Schnittgutwagens ab dem Erkennen des Schnittgutes nach Durchlaufen eines Leerweges bestimmt. Eine derartige Vermessung eines Schnittgutes auf einer Aufschnittschneidemaschine ist auch der DE 2936106 A zu entnehmen. Eine Einspanneinrichtung zur Lagefixierung des Schnittgutes unmittelbar hinter der Schnittebene ist aus der AT 407622 B bekannt. Die mechanischen Halteleisten klemmen das Schnittgut in X- und Z-Richtung. Diese Werte stehen demnach zur weiteren Berücksichtigung für die Steuerung einer Ablegeeinrichtung zur Verfügung. Sensoren, die unmittelbar mit dem Schnittgut in Kontakt stehen oder über welche die Schnittfläche geschoben wird, fetten zwangsläufig und stellen kritische Faktoren hinsichtlich der Hygiene dar.From the WO 2008/135219 A In this sense, a slicing machine is known which comprises in the stop plate just before the circular blade a sensor device in the form of a vertical sensor strip of a plurality of capacitive sensors. During the cutting process more or less of these sensors are covered from bottom to top, depending on the size of the material to be cut. In this way, the cross-sectional height of the cut material can be determined. The cross-sectional length is determined via the displacement path of the trolley from the recognition of the crop after passing through a free travel. Such a measurement of a crop on a slicing machine is also the DE 2936106 A refer to. A clamping device for fixing the position of the cut material immediately behind the cutting plane is from AT 407622 B known.

Sensors that are in direct contact with the clippings or over which the cut surface is pushed inevitably grease and present critical hygiene issues.

Die Erfindung zielt darauf ab, eine Aufschnittschneidemaschine in dieser Hinsicht zu perfektionieren. Dies wird bei einer Maschine der eingangs beschriebenen Art dadurch erreicht, dass die Sensoreinrichtung mindestens einen Reflexionssensor, insbesondere einen Infrarot-Reflexionssensor auf der Anschlagplatte randnah oder auf einem Rahmen oder Träger über der Auflagefläche des Schnittgutes am Schnittgutwagen umfasst, dessen Signale bei Anordnung des Reflexionssensors nächst dem Kreismesser bei einem Hub des Schnittgutwagens das Höhenprofil und vorzugsweise über den ersten Durchgang die Querschnittslänge erfasst, wobei ein Maximalwert für die Höhe aus dem Höhenprofil in der Steuerung ermittelbar ist, oder dass mindestens zwei Reflexionssensoren im Abstand zueinander auf der Anschlagplatte randnah zur Abtastung des Höhenprofils im Stillstand des Schnittgutwagens vor dem Schneidvorgang angeordnet sind.The invention aims to perfect a slicing machine in this regard. This is achieved in a machine of the type described above in that the sensor device comprises at least one reflection sensor, in particular an infrared reflection sensor on the stop plate near the edge or on a frame or support over the bearing surface of the material to be cut on Schnittgutwagen whose signals in the arrangement of the reflection sensor next the circular blade at a stroke of the trolley, the height profile and preferably detected over the first passage, the cross-sectional length, wherein a maximum value for the height of the height profile in the controller can be determined, or that at least two reflection sensors at a distance from each other on the stop plate close to the scanning of the height profile are arranged at a standstill of the trolley before the cutting process.

Diese Sensoreinrichtung, nämlich mindestens ein Reflexionssensor, ist somit nicht eine der bisher üblichen Lichtschranken, sondern misst aufgrund der Intensität der reflektierten Signale, z.B. Infrarotstrahlung die Entfernung zum Objekt, also zu dem Schnittgut. Da der Abstand (Montagehöhe) zur Auflagefläche des Schnittgutes auf dem Schnittgutwagen bekannt ist, kann die Höhe des Schnittgutes berechnet werden. Zusammen mit der Länge des Schnittgutes ergeben sich die Abmessungen der Schnittgutscheiben, sodass das Ablegemuster exakt der zur Verfügung stehenden Ablegefläche angepasst werden kann. Insbesondere bei einer Verpackungseinrichtung muss darauf geachtet werden, dass die geschnittenen Scheiben oder längliches Schnittgut wie etwa Speck unterschiedlicher Höhe nicht in die Schweißzone der zu verschweißenden Verpackungsfolien hineinragen. Andererseits ist ein zu großer Sicherheitsabstand nicht nur unschön, sondern auch unökonomisch. Der oder die Reflexionssensoren sind dabei aus dem Bewegungsbereich des Schnittgutes heraus gerückt und kommen mit dem Schnittgut nicht in Berührung. Mit diesen Sensoren kann die Ablage genau bis zum Rand erfolgen. Dies ist besonders wichtig bei Thekenmaschinen, wenn das Schnittgut nach den Kundenwünschen aufgelegt wird, also häufig mit unterschiedlichem Schnittgut Aufschnitte abgelegt werden. Natürlich gilt dies auch für bloßes Stapeln. Es ist nämlich sichergestellt, dass sich der Stapel genau in der Mitte bildet und dass jede Scheibe individuell mittig abgelegt wird. Dies wird durch Verändern des Abwurfpunktes sowie der Position des Ablegetabletts erreicht, wobei die Sensoren nicht verschmutzen und Betriebssicherheit ohne Zwischenreinigung gewährleistet ist.This sensor device, namely at least one reflection sensor, is thus not one of the usual light barriers, but measures due to the intensity of the reflected signals, such as infrared radiation, the distance to the object, ie to the clippings. Since the distance (mounting height) to the bearing surface of the cut material on the Schnittgutwagen is known, the height of the crop can be calculated. Together with the length of the cuttings, the dimensions of the cuttings slices result, so that the depositing pattern can be adapted exactly to the available laying surface. In particular, in the case of a packaging device, care must be taken that the cut slices or elongate clippings, such as bacon of different height, do not protrude into the welding zone of the packaging films to be welded. On the other hand, too great a safety margin is not only unpleasant but also uneconomical. The one or more reflection sensors are moved out of the range of movement of the clippings and come with the clippings not in touch. With these sensors, the storage can be done exactly to the edge. This is particularly important in counter machines, if the cut material is laid out according to the customer's wishes, so often cuts are placed with different cut material. Of course, this also applies to mere stacking. It is namely ensured that the stack forms exactly in the middle and that each disc is placed individually centered. This is achieved by changing the discharge point and the position of the tray, the sensors are not polluted and reliability is ensured without intermediate cleaning.

Die Höhenmessung mit diesem Reflexionssensor basiert auf einer Reflexions-, Echo- oder Laufzeitmethode durch Aussenden und Empfangen von reflextierten Signalen. Bei Anordnung des Höhensensors knapp vor dem Kreismesser zum Beispiel oben auf der Anschlagplatte, meldet die Höhenmessung bei einem Hub vorerst kein Schnittgut, also volle Höhe. Erst wenn das Schnittgut beim Schneidevorgang in den Bereich der Höhenmessung kommt, wird das Höhenprofil erfasst. Ab diesem Augenblick wird zusätzlich der verbleibende Vorschubweg des Schnittgutwagens gemessen. Dieser Weg entspricht der Länge des Schnittgutes oder dem Durchmesser bei kreiszylindrischen Würsten. Für eine Längen- oder Durchmesserbestimmung kann auch - wie bisher - eine vertikale Lichtschranke im Nahbereich des Kreismessers an der Anschlagplatte vorgesehen sein. Diese gibt den Einschaltbefehl für die Wegmessung (Restwegmessung) des Schnittgutwagens. Sie erfüllt also nur diesen einen Zweck, während der erfindungsgemäße Reflexionssensor noch zusätzlich das Höhenprofil abtastet. Im letztgenannten Fall führt der Sensor eine dynamische Höhenabtastung aus und scannt das Schnittgutprofil. Der Maximalwert des Höhenprofils wird der Steuerung für die Ablegeeinrichtung zugeführt, damit das Ablegebild die vorgegebenen Grenzen etwa bei nachfolgendem Einschweißen nicht überschreitet und jedes Blatt, auch eines länglichen Schnittgutes, in beiden Koordinatenrichtungen (x und z) bis knapp an diese Grenze des Sollbereichs auf einer Basisfolie heranreicht, ohne diese Grenzen zu überschreiten.The height measurement with this reflection sensor is based on a reflection, echo or transit time method by emitting and receiving reflextierten signals. When placing the height sensor just in front of the circular blade, for example, on top of the stop plate, the height measurement at a hub reports for the time being no clippings, so full height. Only when the clippings come in the area of the height measurement during the cutting process, the height profile is detected. From this moment, the remaining feed path of the trolley is additionally measured. This path corresponds to the length of the cuttings or the diameter of circular cylindrical sausages. For a length or diameter determination can also - as before - a vertical light barrier be provided in the vicinity of the circular blade on the stop plate. This gives the switch-on command for the distance measurement (remaining distance measurement) of the trolley. So it only fulfills this one purpose, while the reflection sensor according to the invention additionally scans the height profile. In the latter case, the sensor performs a dynamic height scan and scans the clippings profile. The maximum value of the height profile is supplied to the control for the depositing device, so that the image does not exceed the predetermined limits for subsequent welding and each sheet, including an elongated cuttings, in both coordinate directions (x and z) to just below this limit of the target range on a Base film reaches without exceeding these limits.

Für eine statische Höhenmessung des Schnittgutes, die schon vor dem Schneidevorgang möglich ist, sind mindestens zwei Reflexionssensoren im Abstand zueinander auf der Anschlagplatte randnahe oder auf einem Rahmen oder Träger auf dem Schnittgutwagen oberhalb des Auflagebereichs für Schnittgut angeordnet. Der Abstand der Reflexionssensoren ist aufgrund der Erfahrung so gewählt, dass alle Schnittgutsorten von Salami bis Leberkäse höhenmäßig erfasst werden und dass sich aus den zwei oder mehreren Messwerten ein Maximum der tatsächlichen Höhe des Schnittgutes statistisch abschätzen lässt. Es wird also nicht ein tatsächliches Profil des Schnittgutes während des Hubes des Schnittgutwagens gescannt und der Maximalwert ermittelt, sondern aus zwei oder mehr Werten der Maximalwert genommen oder statistisch ermittelt. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass diese Näherung für die Positionierung des Schnittgutes im Ablegesystem ausreichend genau ist. Dabei ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Höhenwerte bereits vor dem Schneidevorgang schon beim Auflegen des Schnittgutes auf den Schnittgutwagen zur Verfügung stehen. Dies wird durch den Einsatz der Reflexionssensoren (mindestens zwei Reflexionssensoren) ermöglicht.For a static height measurement of the cuttings, which is possible even before the cutting process, at least two reflection sensors spaced apart on the stop plate near the edge or on a frame or support on the Schnittgutwagen above the support area for clippings are arranged. The distance of the reflection sensors is selected on the basis of experience so that all types of clippings from salami to Leberkäse are recorded in height and that can be statistically estimated from the two or more measurements, a maximum of the actual height of the clippings. It is not an actual profile of the clippings scanned during the stroke of the trolley and determines the maximum value, but taken from two or more values of the maximum value or determined statistically. It has been shown that this approximation for the positioning of the cut material in the depositing system is sufficiently accurate. It is advantageous if the height values already before the cutting process when placing the clippings on the Schnittgutwagen available. This is made possible by the use of the reflection sensors (at least two reflection sensors).

In weiterer Folge ist es aufgrund der Erfindung möglich, dass die Signale der Sensoren, der Wert der Schnittstärkeneinstellung sowie ein spezifisches Gewicht einem Rechner zur Bestimmung eines Zirkagewichtes jeder geschnittenen Scheibe zuführbar sind, dass ein gewünschtes Gesamtgewicht an der Maschine einstellbar ist und dass die Maschine bei Erreichen des Gesamtgewichtes als Summe der Zirkagewichte abschaltbar ist. Die Erfassung des Gewichts einer Scheibe ermöglicht es auch, bei Vorgabe eines gewünschten Gesamtgewichtes eines Aufschnittes die Blattfolge in den Zeilen für die Überlappung auch der Zeilen so einzustellen, dass sich ein vollständiger Aufschnitt mit komplett ausgefüllter Ablegefläche (locker bzw. eng) ergibt. Die Programmsteuerung bestimmt dann nicht nur den für jedes Blatt separat genau passenden Ablegepunkt, sondern teilt auch die Scheibenzahl pro Zeile und die Zeilenzahl entsprechend ein, damit das Sollgewicht erreicht wird. Natürlich ist eine Abwaage für die Auspreisung dann erforderlich.Consequently, it is possible on the basis of the invention that the signals of the sensors, the value of the slice thickness setting and a specific weight can be fed to a computer for determining a circulating weight of each cut slice, that a desired total weight on the machine is adjustable and that the machine can be switched off when the total weight is reached as the sum of the circulating weight. The determination of the weight of a disc also makes it possible, when specifying a desired total weight of a cold cut, the sheet sequence in the rows for the overlap of the lines to be such that a complete sliced with completely filled storage surface (loose or narrow) results. The program control then not only determines the separately exactly for each sheet separately appropriate deposition point, but also divides the number of disks per line and the number of lines accordingly, so that the target weight is reached. Of course, a balance for the pricing is then required.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel zum Erfindungsgegenstand ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt. Fig. 1 zeigt eine Schneidemaschine in Seitenansicht mit Blick auf den Schnittgutwagen und Fig. 2 diese Maschine von oben, jeweils in schematischer Darstellung.An embodiment of the subject invention is illustrated in the drawings. Fig. 1 shows a cutting machine in side view overlooking the Schnittgutwagen and Fig. 2 This machine from above, each in a schematic representation.

Eine Schneidemaschine nach den Fig. 1 oder 2 umfasst ein Sockelgehäuse 1, auf dem ein Schnittgutwagen 2 längs einer Anschlagplatte 3 gegen die Schneidekante eines Kreismessers 4 verfahrbar ist. Wenn ein Schnittgut, hier eine Wurst 5, geschnitten wird, dann gelangt sie mittels einer Übergabewalze 6 vom Kreismesser 4 auf einen Kettenrahmen 7, der parallel laufende endlose Ketten mit Spikes aufweist. Je nach der von einer Steuerung 8 bestimmten Weglänge auf dem Kettenrahmen wird eine Schnittgutscheibe 9 zielgenau durch einen nicht dargestellten Schläger abgeworfen. Unterschiedliche Förderweglängen führen zu einer Zeile überlappender Schnittgutscheiben. Wenn ein Ablegetablett 10 zum Kettenrahmen 7 hin oder von diesem Weg verschoben wird, dann können parallele, einander überlappende Zeilen von Scheiben 9 aufgelegt und so eine Basisfolie innerhalb eines vorbestimmten (zum Beispiel rechteckigen) Feldes flächenfüllend belegt werden. Die Steuerung 8 aktiviert nicht nur einen Antrieb für den Kettenrahmen 7, sondern auch einen weiteren Antrieb zur Verschiebung des Ablegetabletts 10.A cutting machine after the Fig. 1 or 2 comprises a base housing 1, on which a Schnittgutwagen 2 along a stop plate 3 against the cutting edge of a circular blade 4 is movable. If a cut, here a sausage 5, is cut, then it passes by means of a transfer roller 6 from the circular blade 4 on a chain frame 7, which has parallel running endless chains with spikes. Depending on the determined by a controller 8 path length on the chain frame a Schnittgutscheibe 9 accurately dropped by a racket, not shown. Different Förderweglängen lead to a row of overlapping Schnittgutscheiben. When a tray 10 is shifted toward or away from the chain frame 7, parallel overlapping rows of slices 9 can be laid so as to fill a base sheet within a predetermined (for example, rectangular) area. The controller 8 activates not only a drive for the chain frame 7, but also a further drive for moving the tray 10.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt ein Ablegetablett 10 mit einer Folienschweißeinrichtung 11 (zum Beispiel gemäß der AT 500725 B1 ). Daher ist ein exaktes Ablegen der geschnittenen Scheiben 9 innerhalb des vorgenannten Feldes erforderlich, wenn einerseits dieses Feld flächendeckend belegt und ein Überstand, der dann in die Schweißnaht ragt, vermieden werden soll. Zur Erfüllung dieser Bedingung ist ein Vermessen des Schnittgutes, zum Beispiel der Wurst 5 oder eines Pressschinkens 5', erforderlich.The Fig. 2 shows a tray 10 with a foil welding device 11 (for example according to the AT 500725 B1 ). Therefore, an exact placement of the cut slices 9 within the aforementioned field is required if, on the one hand occupies this area nationwide and a supernatant, which then protrudes into the weld, to be avoided. To meet this condition, a measurement of the cuttings, for example, the sausage 5 or a press ham 5 ', required.

Die Länge des Schnittgutes 5, 5' wird gemäß Fig. 1 mithilfe einer Lichtschranke 12 gemessen, die nahe der Schneide des Kreismessers 4 und knapp an der Anschlagplatte 3 vertikal verläuft. Der Schnittgutwagen 2 ist mit einem Wegmesssystem für den Vorschub ausgestattet. Dazu können zum Beispiel Impulse einer mitlaufenden Loch- oder Zahnscheibe gezählt werden. Die Zählung beginnt, sobald die Lichtschranke unterbrochen wird, also das Schnittgut 5, 5' die Lichtschranke erreicht hat. Die Restweglänge des Vorschubs des Schnittgutwagens 2 entspricht der Länge der Schnittfläche des Schnittgutes. Bei einer kreiszylindrischen Wurst ergibt die Länge zugleich den Durchmesser. Dieser Wert wird der Steuerung 8 als Größe für das Ablegebild, also zur Ansteuerung des Kettenrahmens 7 und zum Vorschub des Ablegetabletts 10 bei einem Zeilensprung zugeführt.The length of the cuttings 5, 5 'is according to Fig. 1 measured by means of a light barrier 12, which runs close to the cutting edge of the circular blade 4 and just below the stop plate 3 vertically. The Schnittgutwagen 2 is equipped with a displacement measuring system for the feed. For example, impulses from a revolving perforated disk or toothed disk can be counted for this purpose. The count begins as soon as the light barrier is interrupted, that is, the clippings 5, 5 'has reached the light barrier. The remaining path length of the feed of the trolley 2 corresponds to the length of the cut surface of the cut material. In a circular cylindrical sausage, the length also gives the diameter. This value is supplied to the controller 8 as a size for the deposit image, that is to say for driving the chain frame 7 and for advancing the deposit tray 10 in the case of an interlaced scan.

Wenn es sich um "unrundes" Schnittgut, also zum Beispiel einen im Schnittbild rechteckigen Pressschinken handelt, dann ist es erforderlich, auch die Höhe des Schnittgutes zu bestimmen. Im Ausführungsbeispiel ist ersichtlich, dass bei einer Längenmessung allein das hohe, rechteckige Schnittgut zwar innerhalb einer Zeile korrekt, jedoch die Zeile selbst nicht optimal im Ablegefeld positioniert wäre. Über eine Höhenmessung kann das Ablegetablett 10 so positioniert werden, dass die Längskante des jeweiligen Schnittgutes 5, 5' genau an den Grenzlinien des Ablegefeldes (innerhalb der Schweißeinrichtung 11) liegt, die parallel zu der Zeilenlängsrichtung sind.If it is about "non-round" clippings, so for example, a rectangular cross-sectional press ham, then it is necessary to also determine the height of the clippings. In the exemplary embodiment, it can be seen that in the case of a length measurement alone, the high, rectangular cut material would indeed be correct within one line, but the line itself would not be optimally positioned in the drop field. About a height measurement, the tray 10 can be positioned so that the longitudinal edge of the respective cuttings 5, 5 'is exactly at the boundary lines of the deposition field (within the welding device 11), which are parallel to the line longitudinal direction.

Die Höhenmessung erfolgt im Ausführungsbeispiel durch zwei auf der Anschlagplatte 3 oben in einem Aufsatz angeordnete Reflexionssensoren 13, 14. Diese sind hier als Infrarotsensoren ausgebildet, jeweils mit einem IR-Sender und einem Empfänger. Das IR-Signal wird reflektiert und aus der Rücklaufmessung (zum Beispiel durch Intensitätsvergleich) ergibt sich ein Signal, das proportional zur Höhe des Schnittgutes 5, 5' ist.The height measurement is carried out in the exemplary embodiment by two on the stop plate 3 above in an essay arranged reflection sensors 13, 14. These are designed here as infrared sensors, each with an IR transmitter and a receiver. The IR signal is reflected and from the return measurement (for example, by intensity comparison) results in a signal that is proportional to the height of the crop 5, 5 '.

Natürlich können auch andere Distanzmessverfahren an Stelle eines Infrarotsignals angewendet werden (Ultraschall, Radar, Laufzeitmessungen). Die im Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigte statische Messung der Höhe wird schon beim Einlegen des Schnittgutes 5, 5' durchgeführt. Es werden hier zwei Messwerte ermittelt, wobei die Anordnung der Reflexionssensoren 13 und 14 oben auf der Anschlagplatte 3 im Abstand (zum Beispiel 3 cm) zum Endanschlag des Schnittgutes 5, 5' auf dem Schnittgutwagen 2 in der Grundstellung desselben und dazu in einem weiteren Abstand (zum Beispiel 8 cm) vorgesehen ist. Statistisch gesehen findet man mit den zwei Messwerten das Auslangen. Der höhere Wert wird der Steuerung 8 zugeführt, und danach stellt die Steuerung 8 den Abstand der Schnittgutscheiben 9 zum zeilenparallelen Rand des Ablegefeldes innerhalb der Schweißvorrichtung ein. Eine Deckfolie wird darüber gelegt und mit der Basisfolie verschweißt - ohne den Rand der geschnittenen Ware - auch wenn diese keine Scheiben sind - mitzuschweißen.Of course, other distance measuring methods can be used instead of an infrared signal (ultrasound, radar, transit time measurements). The static measurement of the height shown in the embodiment is already performed when inserting the clippings 5, 5 '. Two measured values are determined here, with the arrangement of the reflection sensors 13 and 14 at the top of the stop plate 3 at a distance (for example 3 cm) from the end stop of the cuttings 5, 5 'on the cuttings carriage 2 in the basic position thereof and at a further distance (For example, 8 cm) is provided. Statistically one finds with the two measured values the Auslangen. The higher value is fed to the controller 8, and then the controller 8 sets the distance of the sliced slices 9 to the line-parallel edge of the deposition field within the welding device. A cover sheet is placed over and welded to the base film - without the edge of the cut goods - even if they are not discs - mitzuschweißen.

Alternativ ist es möglich, anstelle der Lichtschranke 12 einen Höhensensor vorzusehen. Dieser scannt die Höhe während des Schneidevorganges, detektiert aber auch den Moment, da das Schnittgut in seinen Messbereich fährt. Ab diesem Augenblick wird der verbleibende Vorschubweg des Schnittgutwagens 2 in bekannter Weise gemessen. Dadurch ergibt sich die Länge bzw. der Durchmesser des Schnittgutes 5, 5', die der Steuerung 8 zugeführt wird. Diese dynamische Höhenmessung ("Scannen des Schnittgutprofils") führt zu einem Höhenprofil, das an die Steuerung 8 weitergeleitet wird. Aus der maximalen Höhe des bei jedem Schnitt vermessenen Querschnitts werden jene Führungsgrößen bestimmt, die für den Randabstand der einzelnen Zeilen des Ablegebildes im Ablegefeld verantwortlich sind.Alternatively, it is possible to provide a height sensor instead of the light barrier 12. This scans the height during the cutting process, but also detects the moment when the cut material moves into its measuring range. From this moment the remaining feed path of the trolley 2 is measured in a known manner. This results in the length or the diameter of the cut material 5, 5 ', which is supplied to the controller 8. This dynamic height measurement ("scanning of the crop profile") leads to a height profile, which is forwarded to the controller 8. From the maximum height of the cross-section measured at each cut, those reference variables are determined which are responsible for the edge distance of the individual lines of the deposition image in the deposition field.

Die Abmessungen des Schnittgutes sind typisch für die jeweilige Schnittgutsorte. Damit ist ein Rückschluss auf das spezifische Gewicht und mit diesem sowie mit dem abgetasteten Profil und der Schnittstärke vom Schnittstärke-Einstellrad 15 die Bestimmung des Zirkagewichtes einer geschnittenen Scheibe möglich. Wenn ein Aufschnitt ein vorgegebenes Gesamtgewicht haben soll, dann kann die Steuerung 8 bzw. der Rechner desselben die Scheibenzahl (Blattzahl) entsprechend ermitteln und die Abstände danach einstellen, so dass sich ein flächendeckender, randgenauer Aufschnitt ergibt.The dimensions of the cuttings are typical of the respective type of cuttings. This is a conclusion to the specific Weight and with this and with the scanned profile and the cutting thickness of the cutting thickness setting wheel 15, the determination of the Zirkagewichtes a cut slice possible. If a cold cut should have a predetermined total weight, then the controller 8 or the computer thereof can determine the number of slices (number of sheets) accordingly and adjust the intervals thereafter, so that an area-wide, border-precise sliced results.
