Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for operating a device for performing cutting operations open format edges of at least one printed product, namely for the trimming of at least one head, front, foot edge according to the preamble of claim 1, such as from EP-A-1 504 860 known.
  • open format edges is thus understood to mean head, front and foot parts of the printed product, regardless of whether this is composed of individual pages or signatures.
  • the book blocks or brochures are cut to the final format at the head, foot and front for a given thickness.
  • the book blocks or brochures have a binding on the back. Suitable bindings are all known methods, such as; Thread stitching, perfect binding, saddle stitching, etc., into consideration.
  • the three-knife trimmer should be able to be used both as a solo machine and as a machine in a line network with other production machines.
  • the task of the device is to cut the printed products, ie mostly book blocks and / or brochures, at the three open sides. This is done by clamping the book block or booklet (hereafter referred to as the book block) at a standstill between press bars or press plates and three cutters trimming the three above-mentioned pages of the book block.
  • the cutting devices can be designed as counter-knife units in which two blades cut as a pair of scissors or as blade units with cutting strips, in which a knife cuts against a plastic strip and easily penetrates into the plastic strip in the end position.
  • the head and foot trimming is usually carried out in a first phase and the front trimming is carried out in a second phase.
  • the order is not mandatory, it can be the other way around. Furthermore, it is possible to perform on the book block only the head and foot section or only the front section, which is needed for example for the production of English brochures.
  • a three-knife trimmer in which the book blocks to be trimmed are detected by a positioning device and fed to the cutting devices with a feed device.
  • There are a plurality of spaced-apart cutting devices are provided, in which the book block are positioned by the delivery device successively each for a side section. In each cutter, a side cut is made on the positioned print product.
  • the aligned book blocks are moved with an intake gripper by a linear stroke in a transition position, wherein the orientation of the book block is not changed.
  • the delivery of the book blocks is done with a multiple planetary gear.
  • adjustable control gates are provided for positioning of the book blocks in the cutting devices. The device allows easy and quick changeover to other formats.
  • Each cutting device consists of a frame-fixed lower blade and a top blade to which a press plate is coupled via a guide and a pneumatic cylinder.
  • the press plate clamps the book block before cutting between the press plate and the stationary lower knife.
  • the book block is not a large area, but only in the cutting area pressed by the press plate and the lower blade, and the feed device.
  • the areas of the book block that are not pressed tend to "sag" and therefore may result in insufficient cut quality. This is especially the case when soft and / or thin paper is used for the book blocks.
  • a three-knife trimmer is introduced, which can process different book formats in the sequence and in which the outer sides of the book are not damaged.
  • a gripping unit for gripping the back of the printed product is mounted, the gripping unit having a reference surface for positioning the spine of the printed product.
  • the moving member is moved by a controller in a vertical plane and positioned correctly for the cutting operations on the three open sides of the printed product, so that the, moving in the horizontal direction, cutting knife can cut the printed product.
  • the printed product is aligned, thereby enabling the controller, together with the format data, to approach the positions required for the respective cut and to properly position the printed product for the cut.
  • the disadvantage of this three-knife trimmer is the limited ability to vary the book format. Due to the fact that one clamping unit holds the printed product for all three sections, the clamping unit has to be designed substantially smaller than the smallest printed product to be processed. If the printed product has a much larger format, then the plates, which are additionally used to support the printed product during cutting, must be provided with a large area of exception. A large exception, however, has a detrimental effect on the quality of cut.
  • the clamping unit can dive more or less deeply into the exception area of the plates.
  • the printed matter is properly supported only when the gripping unit is inserted deeply into the exception area of the plates. So that the printed product, without replacement of the plates, sufficiently supported can be editable, only a small book width difference with the three-knife trimmer.
  • the present invention is based on the object to propose a method for operating a device designed as a three-cutter, which is able to continuously process printed products of the same or different formats and thicknesses with high cutting performance and quality of cut, ie by definition to cut to size.
  • the inventive three-knife trimmer and its operation are also suitable for trimming stacked brochures according to the same procedure as is the case with a book block.
  • the three-knife trimmer is used for trimming open format edges, also called side edges of printed products, such as books, brochures, magazines.
  • open format edges also called side edges of printed products, such as books, brochures, magazines.
  • printed product selectively “book block” or “booklet” will be used hereinafter ,
  • the three-knife trimmer according to the invention By means of the three-knife trimmer according to the invention and its operation, a secure processing of very small runs up to the minimum number of pieces 1 without stoppages due to a change from one to the next format can be provided.
  • the three-cutter can be supplied with book block formats of different sizes and / or the production of book blocks can be processed by different sections to be cut off at the edges.
  • the present invention is accomplished by a method in which the print product is transferred from a first cutting location in which the first side cutting operation occurs to a second cutting location in which the second side cutting operation takes place Print product after the cutting operation performed at the second cutting location, a third cutting location, in which the cutting operation for a third side edge takes place, is supplied, wherein the transfer of the printed product from one cutting location to the next is accomplished by at least one transport unit.
  • the format change takes place during the course of the machine, preferably during the period of time that is available for the loading and unloading of the printed product.
  • Another significant advantage of the invention is the fact that the three-knife trimmer is simple and is operated reliably, so that its operation can be done even by auxiliary personnel.
  • the inventive method in the operation of the three-cutter thus ensures a high quality of cut even with larger print product thicknesses by the Print product maximized over the entire surface is clamped by at least one clamping device between the first and last page, during which the cutting operations at the upcoming open side edges, so that in this cutting operation, the risk of a quality-reducing "nose" can be excluded.
  • the full-surface detection of the printed product can be achieved if required by a plurality of press plates, or recordable by segmented press plates, or individually operable pressing elements.
  • the printed products are lying, fed to the back bound by a method ahead and with approximately the same pitch on a conveyor belt to the three-knife trimmer.
  • the approximately uniform pitch is given either by a clocked supply of the printed products to the conveyor belt of the three-knife trimmer, or such feeding is produced by known devices and methods in front of the conveyor belt.
  • the printed products with an irregular pitch are fed to the conveyor belt of the three-knife trimmer.
  • a clocking device ensures that minimal divisions (distance between the leading book spine edge and the spine edge of the subsequent product) are not undershot.
  • a sensor detects when the printed product arrives at the conveyor belt of the three-knife trimmer.
  • the spacing between the printed products is greater than the minimum spacing, it may be provided as the first preferred variant that the printed products located within the three-cutter process are finished, and then the infeed is resumed.
  • the control reduces the speed of the three-knife trimmer and synchronizes the three-knife trimmer to the cycle of the printed product. If the division then exceeds a maximum dimension, then it can also be optionally provided that the controller generates empty cycles on the three-knife trimmer.
  • the first support / gripper transfers this printed product to the second cutting location, positions there the printed product for the execution of the second cutting operation and then returns to the starting position at the first cutting location, where the renewed takeover of a nachumble printed product, after this the first cutting operation on the first Cutting location was performed.
  • the second support with the second gripper returns to the second cutting location, where there is already a printed product replenished by the first support / gripper and already trimmed, which is then guided to the third cutting location.
  • the head part is cut at the first cutting location, the front part at the second cutting location, and the foot portion of the printed product at the third cutting location.
  • This procedure is in the three-cutter itself, in particular as regards the processing sequence of the first and third cutting location, not mandatory, according to which it must always be at the head circumference in the first circumcision, but it is readily possible at the first cutting the foot section and then edit the head section at the third cutting location, wherein at the second cutting location as before, the circumference of the front part of the printed product is carried out to make this optimally related to the present invention based on translational movements.
  • Whether the head or foot section is machined at the first cutting location depends on how the feed of the printed product to the three-knife trimmer is scheduled, i.e., whether the reading front side of the printed product is directed up or down on the conveyor belt. In both cases, the back edge of the printed product remains in transit to the three-cutter prior. If such a change (head / foot section) is made, then it must be ensured that appropriate control-technical precautions are taken for the sections to be cut off, in particular when head and foot sections with different section lengths are to be processed.

  • the closing force of the jaws of the gripper does not affect the pressing force of the clamping device and its vectors on the printed product. This means that the pressing force of the clamping device relative to the closing force of the jaws of the gripper behaves absolutely effective and Kräftgiandominant.
  • At least one clamping device within the three-knife trimmer can consist of two clamping plates which execute at least one force-exerting closing movement relative to one another. Furthermore, at least one further clamping device can be made of individual composite pressure bars at a suitable cutting location, which force the pressing force on the pressing surfaces of the printed product exercise, these pressure bars in their entirety form a pressure strip battery.
