Roll supply system of a web-fed printing press, web-fed printing press and method for operating a web-fed reel feeding system

The invention relates to a roller supply system of a web-fed printing press, a web-fed printing press and a method for operating a

Roll supply system of a web press according to the features of claim 1, 1 1 and 12 respectively.

By WO 201 1/088905 A1, DE 10 2010 001 014 A1 and the

DE 20 2010 028 292 U1 a reel changer with a security area is disclosed in each case, wherein for the safety of the operating personnel an operator display for the

Reel changer is located outside the security area.

WO 2005/080241 A2 discloses a printing machine with a roll changer and downstream several printing units, a dryer in the manner of a

Illustration printing press. The reel changer has a security area

Area protection is assigned within which there is also a warehouse with storage bins. The security area is preceded by the roles of an unpacking station in the transport path.

From DE 10 2007 025 800 A1 a danger area protection of a

Reel changer known, with a security area for the automatic

Roller assembly of the roll changer on a receiving and / or delivery side extends at least over the entire width to the front side racks, and which on the one hand by the roll changer and by one or more adjoining units and / or mechanical shut-off devices and by one or two sensory monitored accesses essentially against unnoticed entry is limited.

From WO 2005/080241 A2 it is known to provide for the reliability in the environment of large moving material rolls a range protection. Here is the

Attaching a fence at the boundaries of a roll of material storage

proposed. For introducing or removing material rolls into the bearing, a lock may be provided in the area protection. In the lock area, a preferably non-contact area security is proposed, which can be realized for example via light barriers or ultrasonic sensors. By arranging such sensors at different heights, complex query routines can be realized so that, for example, material rolls can easily pass through the lock, whereas an unauthorized passage through the lock can be achieved

Sensor sections triggers an alarm and / or stops the movement of the material rolls to prevent accidents.

EP 1 986 942 A1 relates, for example, to a roll changer with a rolling grill for securing the operating personnel in the event of a shell bursting during the operation of the printing press. On a side frame of the roll changer, a control panel for the roll changer can be seen. The control panel on the side frame of the roll changer also shows, for example, EP 1 644 191 B1, in which an illustration printing machine with roll changer is disclosed.

DE 295 00 873 U1 discloses an intelligent light grid for monitoring areal protective fields. In order not to trigger an alarm or shutdown when a "non-hazardous and preprogrammed" intervention occurs, a sample and compare stage will trigger or turn off the alarm based on the interrupt sequence of spaced light beams and a comparison with a pattern of non-hazardous interrupts prevented in "harmless" interventions. From DE 10 2004 038 906 A1 a method and a device for detecting moving objects in a monitoring device is known, wherein on the

Transport path in front of a light grid, a detection system is provided, through which the object to be guided through the light grid is identified. Depending on this detection, the passage through the light grid is allowed.

DE 10 2005 030 829 A1 discloses a light grating inclined towards the vertical, whereby on the basis of the object passing sequentially through a passing object

Interruptions of individual light beams information about the passage of a permissible or impermissible object is obtained.

The documents DE 10 2010 031 650 A1, DE 10 2010 028 289 A1 and

DE 10 2010 028 292 A1 disclose reel changers in a security area with a staff that can be operated from outside the security area

Roll changer operating device. In one embodiment of the roller supply system, an unpacking station upstream of the reel changer is provided on the transport path.

From JP 62 157 160 A is a roll supply with a device for

Handling the roll cores of expired rolls disclosed.

The invention is based on the object, a roller supply system a

Web-fed printing press, to provide a web-fed printing press and a method for operating a roll supply system of a web-fed printing press.

The object is achieved by the features of claim 1, 1 1 and 12 respectively. The achievable with the present invention consist in particular that a

Roller supply system, a web-fed printing press or a method with overall increased safety with regard to possible injuries, but also with regard to a continuous operation, ie with improved safety during operation and

Injury risk is created. From outside the safety area, several units requiring roller movements are operated from the same operating position, thereby avoiding unintentional collisions in commands and / or the risk of injury by simultaneously operating two positions.

Furthermore, this allows a reduction in the cost of shared components and / or a more secure database by saving interfaces between different hardware components. To have to

For example, role data can not be exchanged and updated between different tax states.

Concerning safety, for example, by avoiding multiple control states, a buffer storage within the security area is the same

Operator console operable. A buffer warehouse for prepared rolls ensures that the production is as interruptible as possible.

A further advantage is a shift of a control panel to an operable from outside the security area and / or a transfer point enclosing extension of the security area at least on the side of the roll feed, which contributes to a significantly increased security.

In particular, hazard area protection based on non-contact protective mechanisms for the area of automatic roll stocking and possibly the area of an integrated buffer warehouse is improved. Embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and will be described in more detail below.

A roller supply system of a web-fed printing press, in particular a

Web-fed rotary printing machine for illustrative or commercial printing, comprises at least one reel changer 01 and an unpacking station 15 upstream of the reel changer 01 with respect to a supply path, which staff members have during the

Unpacking a roll 03 serves as a unpacking aid. The unpacking station 15 may additionally include means for automatic preparation, for. B. means for automatic

Klebeborbereitung, assigned or downstream. At least that includes

Unpacking station 15, however, a below explained in more detail support device 71, which serves the staff when unpacking the roller 03 as Auspackhilfe.

The paster 01 has at least one pair of support arms 02 to the front side

Recording a role 03, z. B. roll of material 03, which on a continuous or divided traverse 06, the, z. B. pivotable about its longitudinal axis, is mounted in frontal side frames 04 or are. As a side frame 04 z. As a whole, the vertically supporting frame parts as well as possibly on these frame parts directly arranged switching and / or side boxes summarized. Other subsequent aggregates or components should preferably not fall under this. A total width of the roll changer 01 thus amounts to the outside of the frame (if applicable, including the side box) to the outside of the frame (if necessary, including the side box). In order to accommodate a roller 03 and / or deliver a residual role, the support arms 02 via the cross member 06 by a symbolically indicated drive means 81, z. B. a drive motor 81, are pivoted. To accommodate the roller 03 each support arm 02 has a corresponding receiving device 07, z. B. engaging in a roller sleeve Dorn 07, wherein each pair preferably at least one, but in particular both rotatory -. B. via a drive means 08, such as a drive motor 08 - are forced. Preferably, the support arms 02 in the longitudinal direction of the cross member 06 via at least one adjustment range by at least one only symbolically indicated drive means 82, z. B. drive motor 82 positionable formed to z. B. allow a omission / intervention of the mandrels 07 and / or an adaptation to different roll widths.

On a front side of the roll changer 01, z. B. a recording and / or

Dispensing side, is a receiving and / or delivery area of the roll changer 01 for its role change accessible by a roller 03. Basically, a male roll 03 can be moved by lift truck or other transport devices in the change position of the receiving and / or delivery area.

Preferably, it is placed on a transfer and / or lifting table 09, which is movable with at least one component to the roll changer radial component, and whose movement z. B. together with the positioning of the support arms 02 allows a recording or dispensing. The transfer and / or lifting table 09 is characterized by a in Fig. 4 only symbolically indicated drive means 83, z. B. by a drive motor 83, via a corresponding control movable. Preferably, the loading of the

However, by an automated (i.e., eg automatically moved) system by means of a suitable transport means 1 1. This may be such as, for. B. in Fig. 2 in a rail-guided trolley 1 1 exist, which automatically controlled in a rail system 05 z. B. along a parallel to the paster axis transport path 10 in the

Receiving and / or delivery area, in particular on the transfer and / or lifting table 09 can be brought, or in a driverless transport system (= FTS or a

AGV = automatic guided vehicle), which the roller 03 directly to

Exchange position or on a provided in the receiving and / or delivery area transfer and / or lifting table 09 spends. For the preferred case of Rail system 05 is this z. B. with underfloor rails arranged in the ground, in which rollers of the trolley 1 1 are guided. The drive of the transport means 1 1 in the inner feed circuit can in principle be carried out directly by an on-board drive motor or as preferred here indirectly via a space-fixed traction drive, wherein the traction means, for. As a chain, by a in Fig. 4 only schematically indicated drive means 84, z. B. a drive motor 84, driven and the trolley 1 1 above z. B. is a driver engaged with the traction means is or can be brought. In each case, the transport means 1 1 is driven or driven by the respective drive motor 84 via a corresponding control. The trolley 1 1 has, for example, on its upwardly directed side on a depression or trough, in which a roll 03 can come to rest. In an advantageous embodiment, it is also possible to provide an attachment or adapter piece 55 which can be placed on the trolley 1 1 in the event of the transport of a roller 03 of small diameter (see, for example, FIG.

Preferably, the process of feeding a new roll 03 in the

Recording and / or delivery area and / or the process of removing a discharged residual role from the receiving and / or delivery area by a

appropriate control each automated. The inclusion of the new roll 03 or delivery of a residual role by the roll changer 01 (possibly with the assistance of a transfer and / or lifting table 09) then takes place, for example, also automated.

The reel changer 01 is - as already mentioned - upstream of the supply path an unpacking station 15. The unpacking station 15 comprises (see eg Fig. 3) a carrying device 71, through which a roll 03 to be unpacked can be picked up and rotated about its axis to assist the unpacking process. The support device 71 comprises, for example, two parallel support rollers 72; 73, of which z. B. at least one of a drive means 74, z. B. drive motor 74 is rotationally driven via, for example, a transmission. The unpacked role 03 is for the unpacking on the two support rollers 72; 73 mounted and rotated by activation of the drive motor 74 about its longitudinal axis. The activation or triggering of the process for rotating the roll 03 to be unpacked takes place, for example, via one or more operating elements 1 to be operated by the personnel; 1 19 (see below). Preferably, the support device 71 has a lifting mechanism 76, which is the recording of the roller 03 by the support device 71 and the delivery of the roller 03 after unpacking and possibly further preparations, for. As a weighing and / or Klebeporbereiten supported. These are

for example, the support rollers 72; 73 by a drive over a

Drive mechanism arranged vertically movable. For example, the two support rollers 72; 73 mounted on a scissor lift 76, which by a symbolic only in Fig. 3 indicated drive means 77, z. B. a lifting drive 77, z. B. one

Drive motor 77 or a hydraulic unit 77, is driven.

In a preferred embodiment, the rail system reaches 05 of the inner

Loading system to the support device 71, so that a trolley 1 1 of the inner feed circle with raised roller 03 can be spent under this to subsequently record by lowering the roller 03.

In an advantageous embodiment, a transport of a new, z. B. still packaged roll 03 directly from the truck or from a warehouse, not shown here by an unspecified here outer feed circle first to the reel changer 01 associated with the unpacking station 15 (see, for example, Fig. 4 or Fig. 5). A transfer of the still packed roll 03 from the outer loading circle to the system unpacking station reel changer (15, 01) can take place directly in the unpacking station 15 to a corresponding carrying device 71 or to one of the unpacking 15 upstream, not shown transport, which still packaged Spool 03 spends in the unpacking station 15, it delivers there to a support device 71 and the unpacking station 15 leaves the input side. After unpacking and possibly taking data and / or adhesive preparation, the roller 03 via an output-side transport path 20, z. B. on a rail-guided trolley 1 1, to an inner

Loading circle of the loaded to roll changer 01 associated start or waiting position 12 transports.

The outer loading circuit may be either by manually controlled or operated means of transport (eg, forklifts, rail-mounted trolleys, pallet trucks, or a combination thereof), or at least partially by automated driverless systems (eg, FTS, AGV, system-controlled rail-mounted trolleys or combinations). The rail-guided trolley 1 1 is part of an inner feed circle through which the positioning of the roller 03 is made for the reception thereof by the support arms 02, and by which an abgeachste residual role or sleeve is transported out of the reel changer area. The inner one

Feeding circuit here thus has a rail-bound, automated

driven trolley 1 1, which on the one hand from the start or waiting position 12 on the transfer and / or lifting table 09, on the other hand, but also for receiving a new roll 03 in the area of Auspackstadion 15 can be brought.

The control of the transfer and / or lifting table 09 and the Tragarmbewegungen are advantageously so logically linked together that a coordinated movement of both sides allows an automated role change without external intervention. A load of new rolls 03 can z. B. from a first page to

Reel changer 01, z. B. from a feed side Sl ago done. Disposal of residual rolls and / or sleeves can, for. B. by means of a designated

Transport means 13 (eg a rail-guided, in particular also automatically operable residual roll and / or residual sleeve container 13), on another side, for. B. Restrollenseite SN, done out.

In a preferred embodiment (see, for example, Fig. 5) is the roll changer 01 and the Unpacking station 15 a bearing 30, z. B. buffer or day storage 30 assigned. This is arranged in the supply path downstream of the unpacking station 15 and serves to store already unpacked and prepared rollers 03. This bearing 30 has at least one storage space 40, which is arranged off the conveying path between the unpacking station 15 and the transfer and / or lifting table 09 such so that it does not hinder transport between the unpacking station 15 and the transfer and / or lifting table 09. Preferably, at least two, z. B. four or as shown, for example, six, such memory locations 40 are provided. In an advantageous embodiment shown here, the memory locations 40 - with an appropriate design of the movement radius - reachable by the transfer and / or lifting table 09. This then serves both the feeding and the removal of rollers 03 to or from the reel changer 01 and the placement and removal of rollers 03 in or out of the bearing 30. For example, a roll loaded with roller 03 1 1 coming from the unpacking station 15 in the rail system 05 by the corresponding drive initially via the transport path 10 to the transfer and / or lifting table 09, this then moved by means of its associated drive motor 83 to an interface of the desired memory location 40, and finally by means of the memory 40 associated drive, z. B. also represented by a merely symbolically in Fig. 5 drive means 86, z. B. drive motor 86, driven traction means spent in the storage space 40. A removal - z. B. back to the roll changer 01 or back out of the system - is done analogously in a similar manner.

Both the automated loading of the roll changer 01 and an optionally

provided bearing 30 with new rollers 03, in particular on the transport paths 10; 20 in the area of the unpacking station 15 and the inner feed circuit and possibly in the warehouse 30, as well as the process of unpacking and possibly preparing the rollers 03 and the automated change process itself involves considerable risks

present operating personnel. In a set forth in the figures preferred

In addition to or instead of being implemented at the helm 25, the drive means 81; 82; 83; 84 of the roll changer 01 and / or the inner feed circle control programs can at the control station 25, in particular the output side of the PC 87, an interface 89 to the roll changer 01 for controlling the drive means 81; 82; 83; 84 of the roll changer 01 and / or the inner feed circuit provided controls 91 may be provided. Via this interface 89, the data is exchanged from commands and / or target specifications specified at the operating console 18 to the respective controller 91 of the roll changer 01 as well as the feedback of actual values or status messages back to the

Control console 18 or to which the display means 19 with the data supplying, z. B. implemented in PC 87 software.

In the case of a system with bearing 30, the control of the bearing 30 relevant drive motors 83 takes place; 86 preferably also in the or an additionally provided SPS 88 or by a corresponding process in the PC 87, z. B. in each case via inverter 92. Alternatively, the control of the bearing 30 relevant drive motors 83 takes place; 86 via an above-mentioned interface 91 and corresponding outsourced Controls 91.

In a preferred embodiment, the operating console 18 is structurally combined with a storage table 35 to one of the unpacking station 15 and the roll changer 01 and possibly the bearing 30 associated control panel 25 or arranged on a storage table 35. This storage table 35 can basically be arranged on a foot or on any kind of frame. Preferably, however, the storage table 35 is provided with an aforementioned manner of calculating and / or storing means 87; 88

accommodating base 29 as a foot.

Preferably, the unpacking station 15 and the paster 01 and optionally a bearing 30 associated control console 18 at the control station 25 and control panel 25 is another measuring means 50, z. B. a bar code scanner 50, assigned by which a possibly entrained by the roller 03, roller data comprehensive barcode is read out. This is technically above z. B. the PC 87 with an operating element 1 18 of the control panel 18, through which a read and / or store the scanned barcode can be triggered.

In another embodiment or an additional development of the unpacking station 15 is assigned a merely symbolically indicated balance 93 as measuring means 93, by means of which the weight of the roller 03 located in the unpacking station 15 can be determined. The balance 93, for example, acts on the carrying device 71, taking into account the weight of the carrying device 71 attributable components. For example, by the balance 93, after corresponding actuation of a control element provided on the operating console 18, a gross weight B of the roll 03 with packaging and / or a first net weight N1 without packaging and (or a second

Net weight N2 without packaging, but with adhesive preparation to be recorded.

The control console 18 is at the helm 25 and control panel 25 in an advantageous Continuing a printer 45, z. As a bar code printer 45 assigned. This is technically above z. For example, the PC 87 is connected to an operating element 19 of the operating console 18, by means of which printing of a barcode can be triggered. A barcode is printed, for example, if a residual roll or unused roll 03 is to be discharged from the system again, and possibly stored in an upstream warehouse 30.

Of particular advantage is the arrangement of the outside of the security area 17 arranged control panel 18 in conjunction with a measure, the

Security area 17, in particular on the feed side Sl, not only up to the Seitengesteilflucht, but from the roll changer 01 or its receiving and / or delivery area to expand further outward and / or one through the

Protective device or its sensor system monitored access 16, in particular on the feed side Sl, not directly in the range of Seitengesteilflucht, but further away from the roll changer 01 away. Preferably, at least at the level of an escape of the transport path 10, this extended area of the security area 17, which extends beyond the escape F of the frame outer side, or the monitored access 16 displaced outwards, is provided. As stated above, this extended security area 17 is further characterized by corresponding

Shut-off devices 14, the reel changer 01 itself, possibly adjacent aggregates and possibly another monitored access 16 limited. Also on one

opposite side, z. B. the residual role side SN can be a monitored access 16, z. B. also be provided from the escape F farther outward access 16.

In the event that the frame outside is not formed solely by a flat wall, but individual areas (eg, individual aggregate attachments or protuberances in the cover) from an otherwise predominantly flat, z. B. over more than 50%, in particular more than 70%, the side width extending outer wall or

To emerge boundary surface, is intended to escape under the flight F to Rollenwechslerachse vertical horizontal direction, which continues the outer predominantly flat wall surface. This outer wall, not singular extensions in their surface, is safety-relevant for any risk of crushing.

The mentioned for the lateral extension of the limited security area 17 is preferably valid in connection with a start or waiting position 12 for the prepared and / or unwrapped roll 03, which is arranged completely in the security area 17. The monitored access 16 then constitutes a sort of lock 16. The transport path 10 of the inner loading circle preferably extends beyond the access 16 into the unpacking station 15 or continues in the transport path 20 without interruption, so that no further movement of a roll 03 between unpacking station 15 and the im

Security area 17 means of transport provided for the transport of rolls 1 1; 13 must occur. However, the starting or waiting position 12 of prepared rollers 03 preferably remains in the security area 17.

Preferably, when through the protective device, the sensor system

unscheduled or impermissible passage through the monitored access 16 is detected, generates a fault signal and thereby possibly imminent or ongoing transfer process by appropriate signal processing via

corresponding, with the inner and / or outer feed circuit signal technically connected control canceled or at least initiated a controlled abort. Under unscheduled passage is to be understood in the broadest sense, the detection of a signal state of the sensor system, which is not explicitly allowed as permitted. This may be in the simplest way an interruption of one or more beams or sound waves of a system of one or more barrier-like arranged transmitter-detector systems. If, in one embodiment, the system is capable of distinguishing between a roll 03 to be delivered (or also a roll-cart 1 1; 13) and one of which has a different disturbance (eg person), then this can be done in the logic with regard to "scheduled" or "permitted" and "unscheduled" or "prohibited" Passages (disturbances) must be considered accordingly. Also, a "scheduled" or allowed passage may be present, for example, if appropriate

Operating situations exist, as for example, by a stoppage of the

relevant roll changer 01 or even the machine or section are shown.

Preferably, parts of the protection of the relevant access 16 so z. B. are disabled for loading the roller 03 or at least one disturbance caused thereby to be defined as allowed.

The o. G. Security measures are particularly advantageous in connection with sensor systems, which as secure as possible detection of "unauthorized" passages

guaranteed, but z. B. the desired passage of a roll 03 to be supplied or a means of transport 1 1; 13 does not inhibit. Preferably, the sensor system - at least in part - as a non-contact system, eg. B. as with

electromagnetic or sound wave operating system formed.

In an advantageous embodiment, the protective device has a first subsystem or a first sensor subsystem which, for example, deactivates when a roller 03 passes, or at least classifies its signal state as permitted or inhibits a possible reaction with respect to a reaction as a result of a change of state. These possibilities are described below by deactivating a

Sensor system or a sensor subsystem be understood.

In addition, the protective device z. B. a second, permanently active,

Non-contact subsystem or a second sensor subsystem for permanent protection of the surrounding area of the roller 03 on.

The first sensor subsystem includes several, z. B. two light rays 31, which can be traversed by a roll 03 or a Restrollen- and / or residual sleeve container 13 Secure area, wherein the first sensor subsystem to enable the extension and retraction is deactivated. As far as only one in the secured area

retracted roll 03 is spoken, this refers in the same way to retractable Restrollen- and / or Residual sleeve container 13, a trolley 1 1 or a driverless transport vehicle and the reverse motion sequences

Extending the roller 03, a trolley 1 1 or the Restrollen- and / or

Residual sleeve container 13 or the driverless transport vehicle.

The second sensor subsystem includes z. B. a horizontally extending in a first embodiment light beam 32, which is a distance of z. B. at least 50 mm to the largest (maximum processable) roll diameter. Especially with larger roll diameters, however, such a second protective device has proved to be disadvantageous. As can be seen from FIG. 8a, there is a risk that a smaller person can run together with the roller 03 into the secured area of the roller assembly and thus be injured by moving machine parts or the moving roller 03.

Fig. 8b shows an advantageous arrangement of a protective device for the field of automatic roll stocking. The protective device in turn comprises a first, non-contact, but deactivatable sensor subsystem at or at the access limits 16, d. H. in the access 16, with two light beams 31, which secure the area of the roller 03 or the remaining roll and / or residual sleeve container 13 or trolley 1 1 or the driverless transport vehicle. To the permanent

Securing the surrounding area of the roller 03 serves a second, permanently active, non-contact sensor subsystem. The second sensor subsystem comprises two light beams 32 which, starting from points located above the roller 03, lead laterally past the roller 03 to near the bottom. It can be seen from FIG. 8b that even a protective device designed in this way can not provide adequate protection. Because the light rays 32 pass the roller 03 almost to the ground, there is a risk that the light rays 32 can be exceeded by a person who runs along when for example next to the roller 03 when inserting.

8c shows a further, advantageous embodiment of the protective device for the area of the automatic roll feed, in particular with a wide, and therefore particularly secure access 16. In contrast to the above solutions in a first sensor subsystem, this protective device has a light grid 33 with a plurality of z. B. more than 5, in particular more than 10, light rays 31 for a non-contact protective device at the access limits 16 of the secure area of the automatic roll feed. The light grid 33 (or its "abutment") can be deactivated (muted) for retracting or extending roller 03 or remaining roller and / or residual sleeve container 13 or means of transport 11 or driverless transport vehicle. Non-contact sensor subsystem is provided for permanent protection of the surrounding area of the roller 03, which will be described further below: It should be pointed out once again that the access limits 16 to be protected can not only be on the charging side S1 but also opposite the charging side S1 then on both sides, if both sides are freely accessible to persons

Sensor system or subsystem secures in connection with an evaluation unit to be protected access limit 16, d. H. the access 16, through the light grid 33 from.

By means of a special additional device described in more detail below, the first sensor subsystem can be deactivated in the above-mentioned sense if a "permitted" object is detected.

In the illustrated embodiment, the light grid 33 is parallel to each other by a plurality, for. B. substantially horizontally extending light rays 31 is formed. The light beams 31 of the light grid 33 are associated with a transmitter 36 and a receiver 37 (eg, FIGS. 9 and 10) which are positioned at the end points of the light beams 31. The light grid 33 is connected to an evaluation unit, which is not shown. The evaluation unit detects the order of interruption of the light beams 31 during retraction and / or extension of a roller 03 or a residual roll and / or residual sleeve container 13 or transport means 1 1 or a driverless transport vehicle and deactivates the protective device with respect to a reaction with respect to the light grid 33rd upon recognizing a known object, which is allowed access 16 to the secured area. In the evaluation z. B. evaluated whether the individual light beams 31 of the light grid 33 are interrupted in succession or free again. It does not matter how many or in which area the individual light beams 31 are interrupted. As a rule, however, z. B. that gaps between the interruption of the individual light beams 31 are not allowed. Drives one on a means of transport 1 1; 13 arranged roller 03 a, z. For example, in an area from the ground to a certain height or in the case of "ground air" in an uninterrupted intermediate area, interruptions can be detected, but an entering person instead of a reel 03 or a means of transport 1 1; The roller 03 or the transport means 1 1, 13 or the transport means 1 1, 13 loaded with a roller 03 should, of course, be designed in such a way that no cutting plane of the cutting plane formed by the light beams 31, 32 arranged one above the other

Transport means 1 1; 13 or the system of transport 1 1; 13 with roller 03 a "gap" from the lowest detectable height to the highest detected height occurs.

Regardless of the protective device can still at least one, preferably a group of several, z. B. two or four in particular, for example as

Photocells 34 formed sensors 34 for a so-called. Muting include, in particular a plurality of reflection photocells 34, which are viewed in the transport direction T spaced from each other, and wherein at least one, z. B. whose two pairs in front of and one or a pair in the transport direction T after the light grid 33 are arranged.

In principle, a sensor 34 can also be arranged before and after the light grid 33. These serve to deactivate (muting) the light grid 33 upon detection of a known object, in particular a Restrollen- and / or residual sleeve container 13, which due to the shape of the evaluation of the interruption order of the light beams 31; 32 complicate, and one or re-activate. Furthermore, the

Reflection photocells 34 connected to an evaluation unit, not shown. The group of both sides of the light grid 33 arranged sensors 34 act z. B.

in terms of muting with means of transport 1 1; 13, z. B. trolley 1 1 and / or Restrollen- and / or residual sleeve containers 13 together. To recognize the are

Transport 1 1, z. B. the Restrollen- and / or residual sleeve container 13, provided at the height of the cooperating sensors 34 with reflective strips. The light grid 33 or, in particular, its evaluation is muted (switched off, in particular deactivated in the above-mentioned sense) if the reflection strips are recognized on a residual roll and / or residual sleeve container 13. After passing through the Restrollen- and / or residual sleeve container 13 through the access protection receives a in

Transport direction T last, z. B. in a total of four fourth reflection photocell 34 no reflection of the light beam 31 more, so then the light grid 33 is activated again. In principle, only one sensor 34 can be provided on each side of the light grid 33. Due to a "single-fault safety" and / or the avoidance of a false signal as a result of a random foreign reflex, however, at least sensor pairs are advantageously provided in each case, not both, before and after the light grid 33 arranged reflections are detected simultaneously, at least for a period of time greater than zero , however, an unauthorized passage is detected by the evaluation device and / or the sensor (part) system that activates the light grid 33 is reactivated.

The muting function can be realized in the case of an external charging circuit with driverless transport vehicle with one, or a pair of two sensors 44, in particular two reflection photo cells 44 only on the outside, since the driverless transport vehicle does not drive completely through the light grid 33, but only one Piece enters the security area 17 to deposit or transfer the roll 03. The first reflection photocell 44 detects z. B. the reflection strip, which on the

Transport vehicle is positioned according to the height of the arrangement of the reflection photocells 44, and turns off the light grid 33 or deactivates at least one classified as "unauthorized" response of the protective device

Reflection photocell 44 receives no reflection of the light beam 31 when returning the driverless transport vehicle, the light grid 33 and the

Reactivity reactivated. For example, upper, z. B. the two uppermost

Light rays 31 of the light grid 33 and their evaluation remain z. B. permanently active to prevent intrusion of a person or object together with the roller 03 or the residual roll and / or residual sleeve container 13 in the secure area of the automatic roll stocking with deactivated danger coverage by the light grid 33. These two top light beams 31 of the first

Sensor subsystem then make light rays 32 of a method described above, here then z. B. not specifically required second subsystem.

In an advantageous embodiment, however, a second, permanently active, non-contact sensor subsystem is provided which comprises at least one light beam 32 extending transversely above the roller 03 from a transmitter 38 to a receiver 39. In particular, two light beams 32 are provided, which are transverse to

Run longitudinal extent or axial direction of the roller 03 and intersect at a small distance above the roller 03 and are guided in its further course close to the roller 03 and the roller container. The point of intersection of the two light beams 32 is preferably only a few centimeters, z. B. <15 cm, in particular <8 cm, preferably <5 cm, above the roll upper edge and the light rays 32 are below the crossing point then at a distance of a few millimeters, z. B. <15 mm, in particular <8 mm, preferably <5 mm up to a few centimeters on the roller 03 over. The light beams 32 thus have their upper end points above the roller 03, but outside the roller extension. The lower end points are below the top of the roll. It can be seen from FIG. 8c that the course of the two light beams 31 neither permits unintentional overflowing nor unintentional underflowing of the light beams 31. An underrun of the light rays 31 is possibly possible when people move in a strongly bent state.

In the illustrated embodiment, z. B. also reflection light barriers are used. The second, permanently active, non-contact

Sensor subsystem includes 32 for each light beam then z. B. a combined transmitting and receiving unit 38, 39 (instead of transmitter 38). The light beam 31 is then transmitted from an opposite reflector 39 '(instead of receiver 39) back to the transmitting and

Reception unit 38, 39 thrown. The two transmitting and receiving units 38, 39 can then be arranged on the same or on different sides of the access 16. This beam guidance can also be used in the light beams 31 of the light grid 33, in which case also the transmitter 36 is replaced by a transmitting and receiving unit 36, 37 and the receiver 37 is replaced by a reflector 37 '. In the second, permanently active sensor subsystem and / or in the light grid 33, it is also possible to use through-beam sensors, in which transmitter 36 and receiver 37 are arranged opposite one another. In alternative

Embodiments, all light beams 31; 32 of the light grid 33 and the second permanently active sensor subsystem each have exactly one transmitter 36 and one receiver 37. In these cases, to guide the light beams 31; 32 requires several deflection mirrors. As transmitter 36; 38 may be an infrared or visible light emitting diode or laser diode and as a receiver 37; 39 a phototransistor are used. It has proven to be advantageous if the position of the transmitting and receiving units 36, 37; 38, 39 and the reflectors 39 '; 37 'can be changed.

A plane E formed by a plurality or all of the light rays 31 of the light grid 33 In an advantageous embodiment, it may form a vertical plane running along the boundary of the access 16 to be protected, ie coincide with a vertical plane S running along the border to be secured. An object with a vertical leading edge entering in the direction of transport T thus interrupts the object

Light rays 31; 32 at the same time. However, a person entering by mistake will not succeed.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the light grid 33, a plane E formed by a plurality or all of the light beams 31 of the light grid 33 extends inclined to a vertical, z. B. parallel to the boundary of the access 16 to be hedged plane S. An incoming in the transport direction T object with a vertical leading edge interrupts in this way the light rays 31 successively in a continuous order. However, a person entering by mistake will not succeed. slight

Fluctuations in the vertical flight, as may be caused, for example, by winding errors, are "distorted" by the oblique offset of adjacent light beams 31. The "resolution" or the "tolerance" can in this case be defined by the distance of the light beams 31 and / or the angle of inclination between the level E and the

Vertical (level S) can be optimized. The light beams 31 (ie also the transmitters 36, eg on a light bar 47 forming a structural unit or the receivers 37 on a sensor bar 48 forming a structural unit) are e.g. B., preferably equidistant, at a distance of 20 to 100 mm, in particular 30 to 60 mm, arranged to each other. The inclination angle φ is z. B. between 8 ° and 25 °, preferably at

Due to the obliquely arranged light grating 33 in conjunction with light beams 31 which are discretely spaced apart in height and in the transport direction T, a minor change of sign extending over a merely small area is "forgiven" in the slope of the passing object edge or the envelope which can be seen from the side. By way of example, this is illustrated in Fig. 1 1, wherein Fig. 1 1 a) a

regular permitted object, b) a permissible object with slight deviation in the leading object edge (eg indentation) and sloping lower edge and c) represents an impermissible form with a non-continuous signal sequence. In the case of the vertically formed light grid 33, b) would also be classified as inadmissible due to the indentation since, as the leading edge passes through,

contiguous areas, and not a single, contiguous area with interruptions of the light rays 31 vorvorgen.

The different transmitters 36; 38 and receiver 37; 39 and possibly provided muting sensors 34; 44 are advantageous in two access 16 laterally limiting, opposite frame members 42; 43 or columns 42; 43, which may also be parts of subsequent shut-off devices 14. In this case, sensors 34; 44 may be arranged for muting on only one of the two sides, if it is ensured that reflection strips of the cooperating object are always present at least on the side facing this side.

A passage width b16, eg width b16 of the monitored access 16, can be compared to an otherwise otherwise stationary, stationary obstacle, for example adjacent units and / or building parts such as building walls or in particular by the security area 17 pulled "outwards" Building supports in so-called. "Rollenkellern") limited width can be significantly increased, whereby even stronger rollers 03 are automatically deliverable.

In another advantageous embodiment, the sensor system by a group of z. B. vertically extending photocells (eg., In the manner of a "light barrier or acoustic wave curtain", with, for example, vertically extending beams or waves), by one or more line scan cameras or a surface camera such (as possible, the entire passage width or height of Access 16), that a roller 03 as such, but at least, for example, a typical width and / or height and / or shape, recognized by a recognition software (pattern recognition) and thus by a Evaluation can be declared admissible, while in the side (with vertical beam path) or in the height (with horizontal beam path) deviating disturbances when passing a signal is triggered, based on which an external passage can be concluded. When using a line or line camera such an evaluation z. B. done by object or edge detection. As such a resolving system may instead be a laser scanner with appropriate image processing and / or evaluation software as a sensor system used, which monitors, for example, the access 16 from its entire width b16 and z. B. is arranged at a height above a head height, for example, above 2,000 mm from the ground.

In a further development, the signal processing routine assigned to the sensor system can also be provided with a computing and / or memory device of a superordinate computer

Roll transport system and / or the control of the roll changer 01 and / or a control of the outer feed circle be connected in such a way that there information about the size / width of the roll 03 to be supplied are used in the assessment of the permissibility of the passage or

can be.

The sensor systems described above, in particular a sensor system having the inclined light grating 33-with or without the second sensor subsystem and / or with or without muting capability (integrated or with additional means) -is basically also independent of the design of the security area 17 and / or the retrieval of the Operating device 18, z. B. the control element 18 considered in itself an advantageous embodiment as part of a protection device for securing an access 16 in the security area 17 of a roll changer 01, wherein z. B. a significant (eg on both sides by at least 300 mm, in particular by at least 500 mm) beyond the maximum roll diameter beyond passage width b16 should be provided for the access 16. Special advantages in terms of achieved However, safety and flexibility are to be seen in particular in connection with the outsourced control console 18 and / or the "withdrawn" security area 17. In this case, a convenient, flexible and secure access 16 of the most varied objects and roller sizes can be created. still at the transfer process or by an accidental entry into the

Security area 17 is at risk.

In all cases, if by the protective device, d. H. an unscheduled or impermissible passage through the monitored access 16 is detected by the sensor system or a sensor subsystem, generates a fault signal and thereby an optionally imminent or ongoing transport or transfer process

corresponding signal processing via corresponding, with the inner and / or outer feed circuit signal technically connected control means aborted or a controlled abortion are at least initiated. For the injury (disturbance) of different sensor subsystems or for different forms of injury of a sensor system or subsystem can be different, by the injury

(Disturbance) to be triggered measures. It can also be provided that in special, or in all incidents an optical and / or optical

Warning device 41, z. As warning light and / or siren is activated, which

preferably in direct visibility to the access 16, in particular in the immediate vicinity of or directly at the entrance 16 is arranged.

The operating console 18, which can be reached by the operator at a distance from the roll changer 01, is preferably not only a device with narrowly limited influence possibilities, such as emergency functions, but a full-fledged operating device 18, which has at least the functions of a control panel arranged directly on the roll changer 01 with functions for

The control panel 18 with its functions is preferably assigned to a specific roll changer 01 and, although possibly mechanically detachable, but operationally fixed.

The control console 18 has - as already mentioned above - at least one of the operation of the roll changer 01 associated control 101; 102, which is signal-technically and logically connected to a control of a drive motor 82 in such a way that actuation thereof initiates an axial movement or a triggering of a process for carrying out an axial movement of a support arm 02 of the roll changer 01.
