Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for automated folding of at least two folded sheets in a folding machine.
- the invention is in the technical field of post-press, that is, print product processing.
- the further processing of the printed products produced is well known and customary.
- further processing is especially the so-called folding.
- adjacent pages of the later printed product are printed directly next to one another on the printing substrate.
- they To order these pages then according to the later correct order, they must be folded over each other, so be folded.
- This process is usually carried out automatically by corresponding further processing machines, the so-called folding machines.
- These folding machines the generated print product is fed accordingly and the machines are constructed so that they can fold with one or more Falzthrotem them accurately fed printing substrates millimeter accuracy. So that the individual pages of the printed product produced are positioned in the required correct arrangement on the printing substrate, they must be arranged against each other according to a specific folding scheme.
- the correct positioning of the individual pages of the printed product is usually carried out in the preliminary stage, where the basic arrangement of the respective benefit on the printing substrate takes place within the framework of the so-called imposition.
- imposition With the help of the folding process both small brochures can be produced, which are only folded, as well as small-sized books that are separated by folding after folding and later bound as a book.
- the first is the so-called double-flow process, in which a large folded sheet is then divided into several smaller folded sheets and then folded as usual. Instead of the last fold, however, the folded sheet is then separated by a cut.
- the pagination is done so that for both Falzbogenmaschine after the cut a continuous page numbering is guaranteed. For example, a large folded sheet is divided into two individual folded sheets and then folded together.
- the disadvantages of this method are, on the one hand, that the separation into smaller folded sheets is realized by the pagination, and thus only one language version can be assigned to each fold sheet.
- segmented folding sheet method Another method known from the prior art is the so-called segmented folding sheet method.
- segmented folding sheet method In this case, the individual pages of a large folded sheet are also divided and after folding the individual pages then the different products are separated by cutting accordingly.
- segmented foldnails Also in the process of segmented foldnails, however, the common processing of different language versions can not be performed. This is because the separation of the content pages into different pages is already realized by different version levels and therefore no additional versioning for the different language versions is possible.
- stamps for example chatter marks and signature signatures
- special treatment must be carried out for this purpose.
- the chipping marks must be set on each of the smaller folded sheets.
- the signatures that are necessary for further processing.
- the possibility must be created to identify the separate signatures.
- the object of the method according to the invention is therefore to disclose a method for automated folding of at least two signatures in a folding machine by a computer, which allows the folding operation for the at least two signatures much faster and more efficiently than with the method known from the prior art ,
- the method according to the invention has the advantage that it is no longer necessary to individually fold the individual signatures, but that the common large signatures, which are now nested in one another, can be processed in one pass by the folding machine. It is important to note that such nesting is possible only for signatures that have the same size and have the same folding scheme.
- the individual folding pages of all folded sheets are also numbered consecutively in an identical manner with regard to the underlying folding scheme. After separating the folded sheets, however, the pages can then end up in different products in different positions. Another point is the arrangement of the side columns of the different folded sheets. Along the vertical fold lines exist side columns of the single fold sheet. These consist of individual, mutually arranged, numbered fold pages and each have a corresponding column index, which begins with index 1, for example.
- the side gaps of the folded sheets with the same column index must be placed next to each other according to the invention.
- the side distances of the individual folded sheets must be unified accordingly, so that they can really be folded together. This can be done by taking the distances of one of the signatures 2 for all the others.
- the method according to the invention can be used correspondingly advantageously. It does not matter how many individual folded sheets it is and how many individual fold pages has such a folded sheet.
- the method according to the invention becomes all the more efficient and the greater the time and efficiency gained, the more individual signatures are interleaved in accordance with the method.
- a preferred development of the method according to the invention is that with a horizontal nesting of n folding sheets and a clear but arbitrary assignment of indices 1 to n to fold sheets for even index columns, the side columns of the different fold sheets from left to right in the order n, n -1, ..., 1 are placed and for side columns with odd index the side columns of the different signatures are placed from left to right in the order 1, 2, ... n.
- An important detail of the method according to the invention is that with a horizontal interleaving of the different folding sheets, the side gaps of the individual fold sides, which have a straight index, in each case from left to right in FIG Order of the nth folded sheet, n-first folded sheet are placed up to the first folded sheet.
- the odd index page columns are placed according to the order of the first fold, the second fold, and the nth fold. This is necessary so that after the passage of the fold and the folded pages of the same folded sheet are folded over each other accordingly, so that not folded pages of different signatures are erroneously associated with each other.
- a further preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is that in a vertical nesting of n folded sheets and a unique but arbitrary assignment of indices 1 to n correspond to the columns rows and accordingly foldsheet for rows with even index, the page lines of the different folded sheets from top to bottom are placed in the order "n, n-1, ..., 1" below, and for odd-numbered page lines, the page lines of the various fold sheets are placed from top to bottom in the order "1, 2, ..., n" , Analogous to the procedure for a horizontal interleaving, in the case of a vertical interleaving, the rules for the odd-numbered page lines must be placed in the order of the first folding sheet, the second folding sheet to the n-th fold sheet, and those with the even index corresponding to the order of the nth fold sheet. n-first to the first folded sheet. The only difference to the horizontal nesting is the arrangement of the fold page lines from top to bottom instead of from left to right.
- a further preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is that the at least two folded sheets are folded after a single pass through the folding machine all in the form of nested, common folded sheet and separated by a cut.
- the method according to the invention after a single pass through the folding machine, the result is achieved that all interleaved folded sheets are already correctly folded and only have to be separated by a cut. There is no further single folding more necessary.
- a further preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is that, after the nesting, the folding rule of one of the at least two folded sheets is used for the common folding of the folded sheets now nested in each other.
- the folding rule of one of the folded sheets used for the entire common folded sheet can now be used for the common large, nested folded sheet due to the nesting performed according to the invention. Since the interleaved signatures have the same size and fold scheme, it does not matter which fold rule is used for the common nested signatures.
- a further preferred development of the method according to the invention is that the nesting of the at least two signatures is activated in the computer-aided preliminary stage of the associated printing and folding operation. Since the placing of the benefit on the printing substrate and thus also the arrangement of the individual fold pages is already carried out in the preliminary stage of the printing process, the method according to the invention must also be carried out correspondingly in the preliminary stage of the printing and folding operation. This is usually computer-aided and can be activated by the user by configuration accordingly. The configuration of the folding machine should also be carried out at this point to adjust the folding machine accordingly.
- a further preferred development of the method according to the invention is that the interlacing direction is transverse to the collar for the binding methods subsequent to the folding process, backstitch stitching and thread stitching. This is necessary for the mentioned types of binding for production reasons.
- FIG. 1 shows a single folded sheet 2 with corresponding numbering 12 of the individual folding pages, or folding segments 13, from 1 to 18.
- the folding lines 8 and the folding directions 3, 4 are shown at the corresponding folding lines 8.
- the three folded sheets 2 are arranged as in FIG. 2 be printed accordingly on the sheet, so they would have to be folded individually in the folding machine each with the corresponding efficiency losses for the entire printing and folding process. Therefore, they are nested according to the inventive method by the computer 11 of the precursor.
- a first step according to the expiry of the inventive method as shown schematically in FIG. 4 is shown, it is checked whether nesting is possible for the three different signatures 2. Since these, as already explained, have the same size and the same folding scheme, this test is correspondingly positive.
- the side distances of the individual folded sheets 2 are now standardized accordingly, so that they can really be folded together. This can be done by taking the distances of one of the signatures 2 for all the others.
- the signatures 2 are now placed in one another by additional distances between the pages. For this purpose, it is necessary that the individual folded sheets 2 are numbered in terms of their folding segments 13 with respect to the underlying folding scheme in an identical manner. This is how in FIG. 1 and FIG.
- the interleaving is to be carried out in the horizontal direction, whereby the positions of the individual folded sheets 2 and the distances between the side columns are adjusted so that the respectively associated columns of the different folded sheets 2 with the same column index next to each other and the folds exactly one above the other lie.
- the columns of the various foldsheets are placed from left to right in the order n, n-1, ..., 1.
- the order is 1, 2, ..., n.
- FIG. 3 is then the result of the method according to the invention with reference to a common, nested folding sheet 5 shown.
- first side columns of the three folded sheets 2, that is those with odd index 1 are arranged in the order: "first page column of the first folding sheet, first side column of the second folding sheet and first side column of the third folding sheet”; So follow the rule "1, 2, ... n".
- the second page columns, so those with odd index is started with the second page column of the third arc, according to the rule "n, n -1, ... 1 ".
- the specification of the order 1 to n applies again and, accordingly, the individual fold pages are arranged in columns in the sequence of the foldsheet 1, 2 and 3.
- the folding lines 8 are adapted according to the common folding sheet 5. After the separation cuts have been made, each fold side 13 is arranged above its adjacent fold side 13.
- the folding directions 6, 7 are also adapted for the common folded sheet.
- the folded sheets 2 folded into one another can now be correspondingly efficiently folded in a single folded sheet 5 in a single pass through the folding machine.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum automatisierten Falzen von mindestens zwei Falzbogen in einer Falzmaschine.The present invention relates to a method for automated folding of at least two folded sheets in a folding machine.
Die Erfindung liegt im technischen Gebiet des Postpress, das heißt der Druckproduktweiterverarbeitung.The invention is in the technical field of post-press, that is, print product processing.
In der Druckindustrie ist die Weiterverarbeitung der erzeugten Druckprodukte allseits bekannt und üblich. Zu den möglichen Weiterverarbeitungen gehört vor allem auch das sogenannte Falzen. Dabei werden auf dem Drucksubstrat benachbarte Seiten des späteren Druckproduktes direkt nebeneinander aufgedruckt. Um diese Seiten dann entsprechend der späteren korrekten Reihenfolge anzuordnen, müssen diese übereinander gefaltet, also gefalzt werden. Dieser Vorgang wird üblicherweise automatisiert von entsprechenden Weiterverarbeitungsmaschinen, den sogenannten Falzmaschinen, durchgeführt. Diesen Falzmaschinen wird das erzeugte Druckprodukt entsprechend zugeführt und die Maschinen sind so aufgebaut, dass sie mit einem oder mehreren Falzschwertem die ihnen zielgenau zugeführten Drucksubstrate millimetergenau falzen können. Damit die einzelnen Seiten des erzeugten Druckproduktes in der benötigten korrekten Anordnung auf dem Drucksubstrat positioniert werden, müssen diese entsprechend eines bestimmten Falzschemas gegeneinander angeordnet sein. Die korrekte Positionierung der einzelnen Seiten des Druckproduktes wird dabei üblicherweise in der Vorstufe durchgeführt, wo auch die grundlegende Anordnung des jeweiligen Nutzens auf dem Drucksubstrat im Rahmen des sogenannten Ausschießens stattfindet. Mit Hilfe des Falzvorganges können dabei sowohl kleine Prospekte erzeugt werden, die lediglich gefaltet werden, als auch kleinformatige Bücher, die nach dem Falzen durch Schneiden separiert und später als Buch gebunden werden.In the printing industry, the further processing of the printed products produced is well known and customary. Among the possible further processing is especially the so-called folding. In this case, adjacent pages of the later printed product are printed directly next to one another on the printing substrate. To order these pages then according to the later correct order, they must be folded over each other, so be folded. This process is usually carried out automatically by corresponding further processing machines, the so-called folding machines. These folding machines, the generated print product is fed accordingly and the machines are constructed so that they can fold with one or more Falzschwertem them accurately fed printing substrates millimeter accuracy. So that the individual pages of the printed product produced are positioned in the required correct arrangement on the printing substrate, they must be arranged against each other according to a specific folding scheme. The correct positioning of the individual pages of the printed product is usually carried out in the preliminary stage, where the basic arrangement of the respective benefit on the printing substrate takes place within the framework of the so-called imposition. With the help of the folding process both small brochures can be produced, which are only folded, as well as small-sized books that are separated by folding after folding and later bound as a book.
Insbesondere bei kleinen Auflagen stellt sich jedoch häufig das Problem, dass auf dem Drucksubstrat aus Gründen der Auslastung der Druckmaschine mehrere verschiedene Falzbögen nebeneinander aufgebracht werden, welche dann nach dem eigentlichen Druck jeweils einzeln weiterverarbeitet, das heißt gefalzt werden müssen. Der somit durch das Drucken von verschiedenen Nutzen auf ein und demselben Drucksubstrat erzeugte Effizienzgewinn wird somit durch das dann notwendige einzelne Falzen der jeweils verschiedenen Falzbögen ausgebremst.However, especially for small runs, the problem often arises that on the printing substrate for reasons of utilization of the printing press several different Falzbögen be applied side by side, which then each further processed after the actual pressure, that is to be folded. The efficiency gain thus generated by the printing of different benefits on the same printing substrate is thus slowed down by the then necessary individual folding of the respective different signatures.
Es wäre daher vorteilhaft, wenn es eine Möglichkeit gäbe, die verschiedenen Falzbögen gleichzeitig in einem Vorgang zu falzen. Aus dem Stand der Technik sind dazu zwei verschiedene Vorgehensweisen bekannt. Beim ersten handelt es sich um das sogenannte Doppelstromverfahren, bei dem ein großer Falzbogen dann in verschiedene kleinere Falzbogen aufgeteilt wird und dann wie gewohnt gefalzt wird. Statt des letzten Falzes wird der Falzbogen dann jedoch durch einen Schnitt getrennt. Die Paginierung wird so vorgenommen, dass für beide Falzbogenteile nach dem Schnitt eine durchgehende Seitennummerierung gewährleistet ist. So wird zum Beispiel ein großer Falzbogen in zwei einzelne Falzbogen aufgeteilt und diese dann gemeinsam gefalzt. Die Nachteile dieses Verfahrens sind jedoch zum einen, dass die Trennung in kleinere Falzbögen durch die Paginierung realisiert wird und somit nur eine Sprachversion pro Falzbogen zugewiesen werden kann. Das bedeutet, dass es somit mit diesem Verfahren nicht möglich ist, verschiedene Sprachversionen auf den einzelnen beiden kleineren Falzbögen unterzubringen. Ein gemeinsames Falzen von verschiedenen Sprachversionen, wo sich die einzelnen Falzbogen nur durch die verschiedene Sprache unterscheiden, aber sonst in Form und Design gleich sind. Eine sehr häufige Anwendung dafür ist zum Beispiel die Produktion von Bedienungsanleitungen oder Beipackzetteln in verschiedener Sprache, welche mit dem Doppelstromverfahren so nicht durchgeführt werden kann. Ein weiterer Nachteil des Doppelstromverfahrens ist, dass der ursprüngliche Falzbogen nicht bis zu Ende gefalzt wird. Dies muss eine automatisierte Berechnung der Verdrängung durch eine Sonderbehandlung berücksichtigen, um ein korrektes Ergebnis liefern zu können.It would therefore be advantageous if there was a possibility to fold the different signatures simultaneously in one operation. Two different approaches are known from the prior art. The first is the so-called double-flow process, in which a large folded sheet is then divided into several smaller folded sheets and then folded as usual. Instead of the last fold, however, the folded sheet is then separated by a cut. The pagination is done so that for both Falzbogenteile after the cut a continuous page numbering is guaranteed. For example, a large folded sheet is divided into two individual folded sheets and then folded together. The disadvantages of this method, however, are, on the one hand, that the separation into smaller folded sheets is realized by the pagination, and thus only one language version can be assigned to each fold sheet. This means that it is thus not possible with this method to accommodate different language versions on each of the two smaller folded sheets. A common folding of different language versions, where the individual folded sheets differ only by the different language, but are otherwise the same in form and design. A very common application for this is, for example, the production of operating instructions or leaflets in various languages, which can not be carried out with the double-flow method. Another disadvantage of the double flow method is that the original signatures are not folded to the end. This must take into account an automated calculation of the displacement by a special treatment in order to be able to deliver a correct result.
Ein weiteres Verfahren, welches aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist, ist das sogenannte Verfahren des segmentierten Falzbogens. Dabei werden die einzelnen Seiten eines großen Falzbogens ebenfalls aufgeteilt und nach dem Falzen der einzelnen Seiten werden dann die verschiedenen Produkte durch Schneiden entsprechend separiert. Auch beim Verfahren der segmentierten Falzbogen kann jedoch das gemeinsame Verarbeiten verschiedener Sprachversionen nicht durchgeführt werden. Dies liegt daran, dass die Trennung der Inhaltsseiten in verschiedene Seiten bereits durch verschiedene Versionsebenen realisiert wird und daher keine zusätzliche Versionierung für die verschiedenen Sprachversionen mehr möglich ist.Another method known from the prior art is the so-called segmented folding sheet method. In this case, the individual pages of a large folded sheet are also divided and after folding the individual pages then the different products are separated by cutting accordingly. Also in the process of segmented foldnails, however, the common processing of different language versions can not be performed. This is because the separation of the content pages into different pages is already realized by different version levels and therefore no additional versioning for the different language versions is possible.
Ein weiterer, allgemeiner Nachteil der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Verfahren ist zudem, dass Marken, zum Beispiel Flattermarken und Falzbogensignaturen, oft Falzbogenbezogen gesetzt werden müssen, wodurch bei einer automatisierten Umsetzung der Verfahren der Nachteil entsteht, dass dafür eine Sonderbehandlung erfolgen muss. Wenn zum Beispiel ein großer Falzbogen in kleinere Falzbögen getrennt wird, müssen die Flattermarken auf jeden der kleineren Falzbögen gesetzt werden. Genauso ist es mit den Falzbogensignaturen, die für die Weiterverarbeitung notwendig sind. Hier muss dann auch extra die Möglichkeit geschaffen werden, die getrennten Falzbögen zu identifizieren.A further, general disadvantage of the methods known from the prior art is that stamps, for example chatter marks and signature signatures, often have to be folded sheet-related, whereby the disadvantage arises in the case of an automated implementation of the method that special treatment must be carried out for this purpose. For example, if a large folded sheet is separated into smaller folded sheets, the chipping marks must be set on each of the smaller folded sheets. The same applies to the signatures that are necessary for further processing. Here then also the possibility must be created to identify the separate signatures.
Um diese Nachteile der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Verfahren zu überwinden und es zu ermöglichen, zum Beispiel die genannten kleinen Auflagen von Prospekten mit verschiedenen Sprachversionen entsprechend effizient gemeinsam falzen zu können, wäre es zum Beispiel sinnvoll, die verschiedenen Sprachversionen, die jeweils einzelne Falzbogen darstellen, in die einzelnen Seiten aufzutrennen und diese so ineinander zu verschachteln, dass ein gemeinsamer großer Falzbogen entsteht, der dann in einem Durchgang gefalzt werden kann. Dies wäre insbesondere deshalb möglich, weil die verschiedenen Sprachversionen bezüglich der Falzbogenseiten identische Abmessungen aufweisen. Ein solches Verschachteln könnte vom Bediener in der Vorstufe bei der Abarbeitung des Druckauftrages manuell durchgeführt werden. Dies hätte jedoch den Nachteil, dass somit die Falzbogenmarken der verschiedenen Falzbögen unterschiedliche Falzbogennummern aufweisen würden, was eine gemeinsame Weiterverarbeitung in einem gemeinsamen großen Falzbogen extrem erschweren würde. Zudem wäre ein solcher manueller Vorgang für einen menschlichen Benutzer insbesondere bei vielen verschiedenen einzelnen Falzbögen mit vielen verschiedenen Falzseiten extrem komplex zu berechnen und entsprechend fehleranfällig.In order to overcome these disadvantages of the known from the prior art method and to be able to fold together, for example, the said small editions of brochures with different language versions together efficiently, it would be useful, for example, the different language versions, each individual folded sheets to divide into the individual pages and to nest them in such a way that a common large folded sheet is created, which can then be folded in one pass. This would be possible in particular because the different language versions have identical dimensions with respect to the folded-sheet sides. Such interleaving could be performed manually by the operator in the prepress stage during the execution of the print job. However, this would have the disadvantage that thus the folded sheet marks of the different signatures would have different folded sheet numbers, which would make a common further processing in a common large folded sheet extremely difficult. In addition, such a manual operation would be extremely complex for a human user, especially with many different single signatures with many different fold pages to calculate and error prone accordingly.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist dazu aus der Patentschrift
Des Weiteren ist aus der europäischen Patentanmeldung
Die Aufgabe des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens liegt daher darin, ein Verfahren zum automatisierten Falzen von mindestens zwei Falzbögen in einer Falzmaschine durch einen Rechner zu offenbaren, welches den Falzvorgang für die mindestens zwei Falzbögen wesentlich schneller und effizienter als mit dem aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Verfahren ermöglicht.The object of the method according to the invention is therefore to disclose a method for automated folding of at least two signatures in a folding machine by a computer, which allows the folding operation for the at least two signatures much faster and more efficiently than with the method known from the prior art ,
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe stellt ein Verfahren zum automatisierten Falzen von mindestens zwei Falzbogen in einer Falzmaschine durch einen Rechner dar, wobei die Falzbogen eine Anzahl von Falzseiten, sowie das gleiche Falzschema und die gleiche Größe aufweisen und die Falzseiten aller Falzbogen hinsichtlich des zugrundeliegenden Falzschemas identisch nummeriert sind und welches die folgenden Schritte umfasst
- Überprüfung durch den Rechner, ob eine Verschachtelung der mindestens zwei Falzbogen in einen ineinander verschachtelten, gemeinsamen Falzbogen möglich ist
- Vereinheitlichung der Abstände zwischen den Falzseiten durch übernehmen der Abstände eines der Falzbogen für alle mindestens zwei Falzbogen durch den Rechner
- ineinander platzieren der mindestens zwei Falzbogendurch Einfügen zusätzlicher Abstände zwischen den Falzseiten durch den Rechner
- Anpassen der Positionen der mindestens zwei Falzbogen und Abstände zwischen den Seitenspalten der mindestens zwei Falzbogen dergestalt durch den Rechner, dass die jeweils zusammengehörigen Seitenspalten der verschiedenen, mindestens zwei Falzbogen mit gleichem Spaltenindex nebeneinander und die Falzlinien exakt übereinander liegen
- Durchführung des Falzvorganges in der Falzmaschine auf Basis des durch den Rechner ineinander verschachtelten, gemeinsamen Falzbogens
- Trennen des ineinander verschachtelten, gemeinsamen Falzbogens durch einen Schnitt in der Falzmaschine in die einzelnen Falzseiten.
- Check by the computer, whether nesting of the at least two folded sheets in a nested, common folded sheet is possible
- Unification of the distances between the fold pages by taking over the distances of one of the signatures for all at least two folded sheets by the computer
- place the at least two fold bends by inserting additional spaces between the fold pages by the computer
- Adapting the positions of the at least two folded sheets and distances between the side columns of the at least two folded sheets in such a way by the computer that the respective associated side columns of different, at least two folded sheets with the same column index next to each other and the fold lines are exactly above the other
- Execution of the folding process in the folding machine on the basis of the interleaved by the computer, common folding sheet
- Separating the nested, common foldsheet through a cut in the folding machine in the individual fold pages.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren hat den Vorteil, dass nicht mehr die einzelnen Falzbögen jeweils einzeln gefalzt werden müssen, sondern der nun ineinander verschachtelte gemeinsame große Falzbogen in einem Durchgang von der Falzmaschine bearbeitet werden kann. Wichtig ist dabei, zu beachten, dass ein solches Ineinanderverschachteln nur für Falzbogen möglich ist, die die gleiche Größe aufweisen und das gleiche Falzschema besitzen. Die einzelnen Falzseiten aller Falzbögen werden zudem hinsichtlich des zugrundeliegenden Falzschemas in einer identischen Weise jeweils durchnummeriert. Nach dem Trennen der Falzbogen können die Seiten dann allerdings auch in verschiedenen Produkten an verschiedenen Positionen landen. Ein weiterer Punkt ist die Anordnung der Seitenspalten der verschiedenen Falzbogen. Entlang der vertikalen Falzlinien existieren Seitenspalten des einzelnen Falzbogens. Diese bestehen aus einzelnen, untereinander angeordneten, nummerierten Falzseiten und haben jeweils einen entsprechenden Spaltenindex, der z.B. mit Index 1 beginnt. Bei der Verschachtelung der einzelnen Falzbogen müssen erfindungsgemäß die Seitenspalten der Falzbogen mit gleichem Spaltenindex nebeneinander platziert werden. Die Seitenabstände der einzelnen Falzbogen müssen entsprechend vereinheitlicht werden, damit diese auch wirklich zusammen gefalzt werden können. Dies kann geschehen, indem die Abstände eines der Falzbogen 2 für alle anderen übernommen werden.The method according to the invention has the advantage that it is no longer necessary to individually fold the individual signatures, but that the common large signatures, which are now nested in one another, can be processed in one pass by the folding machine. It is important to note that such nesting is possible only for signatures that have the same size and have the same folding scheme. The individual folding pages of all folded sheets are also numbered consecutively in an identical manner with regard to the underlying folding scheme. After separating the folded sheets, however, the pages can then end up in different products in different positions. Another point is the arrangement of the side columns of the different folded sheets. Along the vertical fold lines exist side columns of the single fold sheet. These consist of individual, mutually arranged, numbered fold pages and each have a corresponding column index, which begins with index 1, for example. When nesting the individual folded sheets, the side gaps of the folded sheets with the same column index must be placed next to each other according to the invention. The side distances of the individual folded sheets must be unified accordingly, so that they can really be folded together. This can be done by taking the distances of one of the
Sind diese Bedingungen erfüllt, kann das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren entsprechend vorteilhaft angewandt werden. Dabei ist es egal, um wie viele einzelne Falzbögen es sich handelt und wie viele einzelne Falzseiten ein solcher Falzbogen aufweist. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird umso effizienter und der Zeit- und Effizienzgewinn umso größer, je mehr einzelne Falzbögen verfahrensgemäß ineinander verschachtelt werden.If these conditions are met, the method according to the invention can be used correspondingly advantageously. It does not matter how many individual folded sheets it is and how many individual fold pages has such a folded sheet. The method according to the invention becomes all the more efficient and the greater the time and efficiency gained, the more individual signatures are interleaved in accordance with the method.
Vorteilhafte und daher bevorzugte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ergeben sich aus den zugehörigen Unteransprüchen sowie aus der Beschreibung und den zugehörigen Zeichnungen.Advantageous and therefore preferred developments of the method according to the invention will become apparent from the accompanying dependent claims and from the description and the accompanying drawings.
Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist dabei, dass bei einer horizontalen Verschachtelung von n Falzbogen und einer eindeutigen aber beliebigen Zuordnung der Indizes 1 bis n zu Falzbogen für Spalten mit geradem Index die Seitenspalten der verschiedenen Falzbogen von links nach rechts in der Reihenfolge n, n-1, ..., 1 platziert werden und bei Seitenspalten mit ungeradem Index die Seitenspalten der verschiedenen Falzbögen von links nach rechts in der Reihenfolge 1, 2, ...n platziert werden. Ein wichtiges Detail des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist dabei, dass bei einer horizontalen Verschachtelung der verschiedenen Falzbogen die Seitenspalten der einzelnen Falzseiten, welche einen geraden Index aufweisen, jeweils von links nach rechts in der Reihenfolge n-ter Falzbogen, n-erster Falzbogen bis hin zum ersten Falzbogen platziert werden. Die Seitenspalten mit ungeradem Index werden entsprechend der Reihenfolge erster Falzbogen, zweiter Falzbogen bis zum n-ten Falzbogen platziert. Dies ist notwendig, damit nach dem Durchfuhren des Falzens auch wirklich die Falzseiten desselben Falzbogens entsprechend übereinander gefalzt werden, so dass nicht Falzseiten von verschiedenen Falzbögen fälschlicherweise einander zugeordnet werden.A preferred development of the method according to the invention is that with a horizontal nesting of n folding sheets and a clear but arbitrary assignment of indices 1 to n to fold sheets for even index columns, the side columns of the different fold sheets from left to right in the order n, n -1, ..., 1 are placed and for side columns with odd index the side columns of the different signatures are placed from left to right in the
Eine weitere bevorzugte Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist dabei, dass bei einer vertikalen Verschachtelung von n Falzbogen und einer eindeutigen aber beliebigen Zuordnung der Indizes 1 bis n zu die Spalten Zeilen entsprechen und dementsprechend Falzbogen für Zeilen mit geradem Index die Seitenzeilen der verschiedenen Falzbogen von oben nach unten in der Reihenfolge "n, n-1, ..., 1" platziert werden und bei Seitenzeilen mit ungeradem Index die Seitenzeilen der verschiedenen Falzbogen von oben nach unten in der Reihenfolge "1, 2, ..., n" platziert werden. Analog zum Vorgehen bei einer horizontalen Verschachtelung müssen bei einer vertikalen Verschachtelung entsprechend die genannten Regeln für die Seitenzeilen mit ungeradem Index in der Reihenfolge erster Falzbogen, zweiter Falzbogen bis n-ter Falzbogen platziert werden und die mit geradem Index entsprechend der Reihenfolge n-ter Falzbogen, n-erster bis hin zum ersten Falzbogen. Der einzige Unterschied zur horizontalen Verschachtelung ist hier die Anordnung der Falzseitenzeilen von oben nach unten anstatt von links nach rechts.A further preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is that in a vertical nesting of n folded sheets and a unique but arbitrary assignment of indices 1 to n correspond to the columns rows and accordingly foldsheet for rows with even index, the page lines of the different folded sheets from top to bottom are placed in the order "n, n-1, ..., 1" below, and for odd-numbered page lines, the page lines of the various fold sheets are placed from top to bottom in the order "1, 2, ..., n" , Analogous to the procedure for a horizontal interleaving, in the case of a vertical interleaving, the rules for the odd-numbered page lines must be placed in the order of the first folding sheet, the second folding sheet to the n-th fold sheet, and those with the even index corresponding to the order of the nth fold sheet. n-first to the first folded sheet. The only difference to the horizontal nesting is the arrangement of the fold page lines from top to bottom instead of from left to right.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist dabei, dass die mindestens zwei Falzbogen nach einmaligem Durchlauf durch die Falzmaschine alle in Form des ineinander verschachtelten, gemeinsamen Falzbogens gefalzt sind und durch einen Schnitt getrennt werden. Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird nach einem einmaligen Durchlauf durch die Falzmaschine das Ergebnis erzielt, dass alle ineinander verschachtelten Falzbögen bereits korrekt gefalzt sind und nur noch durch einen Schnitt getrennt werden müssen. Es ist kein weiterer einzelner Falzvorgang mehr notwendig. Eine weitere bevorzugte Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist dabei, dass nach dem Verschachteln die Falzregel eines der mindestens zwei Falzbögen zum gemeinsamen Falzen der nun ineinander verschachtelten Falzbogen angewandt wird. Für den gemeinsamen großen, ineinander verschachtelten Falzbogen kann nun aufgrund der erfindungsgemäß durchgeführten Verschachtelung die Falzregel von einem der verwendeten Falzbögen für den gesamten gemeinsamen Falzbogen angewandt werden. Da die ineinander verschachtelten Falzbögen die gleiche Größe und das gleiche Falzschema aufweisen, ist es egal, welche Falzregel für den gemeinsamen ineinander verschachtelten Falzbogen angewandt wird.A further preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is that the at least two folded sheets are folded after a single pass through the folding machine all in the form of nested, common folded sheet and separated by a cut. With the method according to the invention, after a single pass through the folding machine, the result is achieved that all interleaved folded sheets are already correctly folded and only have to be separated by a cut. There is no further single folding more necessary. A further preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is that, after the nesting, the folding rule of one of the at least two folded sheets is used for the common folding of the folded sheets now nested in each other. The folding rule of one of the folded sheets used for the entire common folded sheet can now be used for the common large, nested folded sheet due to the nesting performed according to the invention. Since the interleaved signatures have the same size and fold scheme, it does not matter which fold rule is used for the common nested signatures.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist dabei, dass das Verschachteln der mindestens zwei Falzbögen in der rechnergestützten Vorstufe des zugehörigen Druck- und Falzvorganges aktiviert wird. Da das Anordnen des Nutzens auf dem Drucksubstrat und damit auch die Anordnung der einzelnen Falzseiten bereits in der Vorstufe des Druckprozesse durchgeführt wird, muss auch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren entsprechend in der Vorstufe des Druck- und Falzvorganges durchgeführt werden. Dies ist üblicherweise rechnergestützt und kann vom Anwender durch Konfiguration entsprechend aktiviert werden. Die Konfiguration der Falzmaschine sollte dabei ebenfalls an dieser Stelle durchgeführt werden, um die Falzmaschine entsprechend einzustellen.A further preferred development of the method according to the invention is that the nesting of the at least two signatures is activated in the computer-aided preliminary stage of the associated printing and folding operation. Since the placing of the benefit on the printing substrate and thus also the arrangement of the individual fold pages is already carried out in the preliminary stage of the printing process, the method according to the invention must also be carried out correspondingly in the preliminary stage of the printing and folding operation. This is usually computer-aided and can be activated by the user by configuration accordingly. The configuration of the folding machine should also be carried out at this point to adjust the folding machine accordingly.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist dabei, dass für die sich an den Falzvorgang anschließenden Bindearten, Rückenstichheftung und Fadenheftung, die Verschachtelungsrichtung quer zum Bund liegt. Dies ist für die genannten Bindearten aus produktionstechnischen Gründen erforderlich.A further preferred development of the method according to the invention is that the interlacing direction is transverse to the collar for the binding methods subsequent to the folding process, backstitch stitching and thread stitching. This is necessary for the mentioned types of binding for production reasons.
