Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for introducing a plurality of spaced apart grooves in sheets or sheets of a printing material according to the preamble of claim 1 and a scoring device according to the preamble of claim 7.
  • envelope material which finds use later as an envelope is grooved in the form of sheets or sheets before it is glued to a book block.
  • Each subsequent quotation of the term printed sheet also includes the envelope material webs.
  • the purpose of the creasing is to make the cover material bend-soft along a future bending edge of the cover or to preform it. In essence, this relates to the edges between the spine and the flat sides of the printed product, the bending edge of a subsequent to the spine side gluing to open the envelope and the bending edges of envelopes with embarked flaps.
  • Another method to create defined bending edges is embossing. Instead of co-operating, rotating discs designated here as a die and patrille pre-rails are used with which the bending edges are embossed in the envelope. This method produces more accurate bending edges but, because of the increased expense, is typically used only in the production of higher value products.
  • the grooves produced with such devices are concave on one side of the envelope and convex on the opposite side.
  • On which side of the envelope which groove shape is to be produced results from the function of the relevant groove on the cover of the finished book, namely as a back edge or as a bending edge for opening and closing the cover.
  • a first, usually inner clamp jaw of a conveyor block for conveying a book block by an adhesive binder defines a fixed edge that can be fixed transversely to the conveying direction.
  • a second, the first opposite clamp jaw of the transport clamp in an adjustable transversely to the conveying direction position adjustable to adapt to the respective book block thickness. Accordingly, even with a creasing device with two tool pairs of creasing tools, the one tool pair is set to the fixable position, while the other tool pair is adjustable according to the book block thickness.
  • the waves of the adjustable tool pair are usually mounted at their two ends in common bearing units, so that the position of the grooves on the sheet can be adjusted to the book block thickness with a common adjusting device.
  • a common adjusting device For generating additional grooves, either further pairs of tools of scoring tools are arranged on the shafts, or the dies and dies of corresponding scoring tools are attached to one and the same pair of tools arranged. There are scoring tools, where the distance between the grooves can be adjusted manually.
  • the creasing device In order to transport a printed sheet through the creasing device can additionally be arranged on the shafts of the creasing tools elastically coated conveyor rollers.
  • the printing sheet transport can also be done with conveyor rollers or rollers, which are arranged on separate transport shafts.
  • the groove serving as the back edge is designed with a convex, outwardly directed curvature and the groove serving as a bending edge with a concave, inwardly directed curvature.
  • Outside and inside refers to the seen from the inside book block direction.
  • the convex curvature of the groove serving as the back edge causes problems with certain envelopes. This is particularly the case for envelopes where the paper direction is wrong, or which are made of paper with very short fibers, or for UV-coated envelopes. In these envelopes, the stress of the press tending to cause the paper to roll on the outward curvature of the groove tends to rupture the ink and make paper tears visible.
  • the groove serving as the back edge is curved inward. In the previously known scoring a change in the curvature of the grooves is possible only by a manual change of scoring tools.
  • the DE202009008741 U1 describes a creasing device in which the creasing tools are mounted in separable parts of a frame, whereby the cost of replacing creasing tools and the removal of dammed-up envelopes significantly reduced.
  • the upper part of the frame must be complete with all stored therein axes are folded up, for which a great effort is needed.
  • the WO0198088 A1 discloses a creasing device in which the distance between the grooves serving as the back edge is automatically adjusted according to the book block thickness measured in the transport clamp of the perfect binder.
  • the distance from the groove serving as the back edge to the groove serving as the bending edge is independent of the book block thickness and rarely needs to be changed so that an automatic adjustment of this distance is not provided here. If necessary, this distance can be changed by means of manually adjustable scoring tools or by the complete replacement of scoring tools. A change in the curvature of the grooves is also possible here only by a manual change of scoring tools.
  • the object of the invention is to provide generic methods and devices for introducing a plurality of grooves in sheet or in webs of a printing material, which allow a simple and fast conversion of the respective groove shapes.
  • this object is achieved by a method in which at least one of the pairs of tools of a scoring device together with its shafts and in an interlocking state of its scoring tools from its working position in the direction of the other pair of tools and beyond its current position to a subsequent work order , new working position is postponed.
  • a first tool pair is set in a first working position and a second tool pair is displaced into a second working position dependent on the first working position and on the further work order.
  • the first or the second tool pair can thereby be positioned in a so-called fixed edge position and the other tool pair in a book thickness-dependent position.
  • a common mounting of a first pair of tools together with the shafts and the scoring tools and / or a common mounting of a second pair of tools can be moved together with the shafts and the scoring tools.
  • brackets of the shafts are displaced via actuators, this can advantageously lead to a simplification of the operability.
  • a controller which sends control signals to the actuators for adjusting the pairs of tools, this leads to a higher degree of automation and consequently requires less manual intervention by an operator.
  • the scoring device can be adapted to the requirements advantageous for the processing of each book block to be produced accordingly.
  • the object according to the invention is achieved by a device in which at least one of the tool pairs, together with its shafts and in an intermeshing state of its scoring tools, moves from its working position in the direction of the other tool pair and beyond its current position to a new work order corresponding to a subsequent work order Working position is arranged displaceably.
  • the shafts of one pair of tools of the scoring tools are arranged in a common holder and the shafts of the other pair of tools of the scoring tools are arranged in a common holder.
  • the shafts are rotatably mounted in the holders by means of rolling or sliding bearings.
  • a reduction of friction in such a bearing has a beneficial effect on both the smoothness and on the life of the shafts on which the scoring tools are arranged.
  • the holders are arranged in a frame of the creasing device and each have a guide connected to the frame, wherein each holder is arranged in its guide transversely to the conveying direction relative to the frame slidably.
  • At least one actuator for the holders of the shafts is arranged on the frame.
  • the shafts are arranged in half bearing shells of the holders and releasably secured by means of a closure mechanism, in particular a quick release. This can advantageously be done a faster change of the waves with the corresponding scoring tools.
  • its closure mechanism has a holding-down device for each half-bearing shell, wherein the shafts with the holding-down device can be fixed in the half-bearing shells of the holders.
  • both the shafts of the first pair of tools of the scoring tools and the shafts of the second pair of tools of the scoring tools are each detachably mounted in a separate holder.
  • the shafts are made of a rigid and light material, in particular of light metal or of composite material.
  • the waves of the device are thus lighter, without negatively affecting the quality of the products produced therewith.
  • the waves may also be formed as hollow shafts, which in addition leads to weight savings and thus facilitates the removal and installation of the waves for the operator.
  • a scoring device 1 is shown simplified.
  • a frame 11 on which two substantially mutually parallel brackets 7, 8 are arranged slidably.
  • the brackets 7, 8 serve as a receiving location for parallel shafts 20, 21, 30, 31 at its two end faces, wherein on each of the shafts 20, 21, 30, 31 depending on a creasing tool 3, 4; 5, 6 is arranged.
