Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for processing a material web or sheets of paper, cardboard, plastic and the like, comprising at least one processing station and at least one transport system for transporting the sheets to the processing station, wherein at least one vacuum suction plate is arranged immediately before or in the processing station in such a way that the vacuum suction plate is run over by the material web or the material sheet and these are thereby braked in the transport direction by the negative pressure generated by means of at least one negative pressure device connected to the vacuum suction plate.
  • the invention further relates to a method for processing a material web or material sheets of paper, cardboard, plastic and the like.
  • Devices for processing a web of material or sheets of paper, cardboard, plastic or the like are known in a wide variety. From the WO 2011/160816 A1 and the DE 14 11 325 A1 Devices and methods with the features of the preambles of claims 1 and 13 are known. Particularly in the packaging industry, such devices find use in the manufacture of packaging, cartons and other packaging products.
  • Generic devices usually have at least one processing station, which must pass through the material webs or material sheets to be processed.
  • Such a processing station can be, for example, a sheet punching device or a sheet embossing device.
  • several processing stations are usually connected in series to carry out different processing steps.
  • the braking of the material web or material sheet takes place in the transport direction by means of a vacuum device, in particular a vacuum suction plate, which is run over by the material web or the material sheet. Due to the pressure prevailing in the vacuum suction plate negative pressure, the material web or the material sheet are braked accordingly.
  • the disadvantage here is the fact that due to the braking of the material web or the material sheet, there is a wrinkling or swelling of the material web or the material sheet in the area in front of the corresponding processing station.
  • wrinkling or swelling complicates the exact positioning of the material to be processed web or the material sheet to be processed. This can lead to incorrect positioning of the material web or material sheet to be processed.
  • this can lead to a complete disruption of the processing cycle, especially if there is a mispositioning of the material web or the material sheet before or within the respective processing station.
  • at least one vacuum suction plate is arranged directly in front of or in the processing station, such that the vacuum suction plate is run over by the material web or the material sheet and these are braked in the transport direction by the negative pressure generated by means of at least one vacuum device connected to the vacuum suction plate.
  • At least one device is in each case arranged above the at least one vacuum suction plate for producing an air stream acting on the material web or the material sheet while the vacuum suction plate is being moved over, wherein the device for generating an air flow is connected to at least one air source.
  • the device for generating an air flow has at least two sections which can be separately connected and / or disconnected, each having at least one opening for the air outlet. Furthermore, it is possible to make the device for generating an air flow adjustable in length. By means of these design options, the device for generating an air flow can be individually matched to the material webs or material sheets to be processed. Thus, it is advantageously ensured that always the desired areas of the material web or the material sheet are subjected to a corresponding air flow.
  • the device for generating an air flow channel-like or hose-like has at least one connection for the supply of air and at least one opening for the air outlet.
  • the device for generating the air flow can be adapted to the structural conditions of the processing station or the machine requirements.
  • a valve is arranged in the Opening for the air outlet.
  • the valve has an approximately rectangular or gap-shaped air outlet opening. But it is also possible that air outlet openings are provided with other cross-sections, such as round or oval cross-sections in the valve.
  • the longitudinal axes of the air outlet openings can be arranged to run parallel to one another and / or be arranged on a longitudinal axis.
  • the air flow may be fan-shaped, such that a broad side of the fan impinges on a surface of the material web or the material sheet.
  • the aforementioned embodiments exert a uniform pressure on the material web or the material sheet, so that in turn reliable unintentional folding or swelling of the material web to be processed or of the material sheet to be processed is prevented.
  • a longitudinal axis of the device for generating an air flow is arranged to extend approximately parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vacuum suction plate. Furthermore, the longitudinal axis of the device for generating an air flow may be designed to extend approximately perpendicular to the transport direction of the material web or material sheet.
  • the device for generating an air flow on a movable or non-movable part of the processing station is detachably or non-detachably arranged. Due to the configuration of the device according to the invention, it is possible to adapt these to the structural requirements of the processing station. The latter are defined by the design and function of the respective processing station.
