Definitions

  • the invention relates to a gripper carriage, a sheet processing machine with a gripper carriage and an integrated radiation dryer and a method for transporting sheets by means of a gripper carriage in the delivery of a sheet processing machine.
  • the DE 10 2010 001806 A1 discloses a delivery of a sheet processing machine with a gripper carriage movable along a sheet guide.
  • a spoiler element can be assigned to the gripper carriage, which leads to an improvement in the interaction with the incoming air, especially when using a thermal air dryer.
  • the US 4,530,495 A. discloses a sheet processing machine with a radiation dryer, wherein a trailing surface of a gripper carriage with a sheet transport plane has an angle of less than 90 ° in order to reduce a non-irradiated area of the sheet.
  • the EP 0 252 602 A1 discloses a sheet-processing machine with radiation dryer, the gripper carriage having a reflector on its top in order to shade the gripper carriage itself from direct radiation or to reduce heat.
  • the gripper carriages protrude from the plane in which they transport or convey the sheets in the direction of the radiation dryer, they shield at least their front edge area against part of the dryer radiation, in particular when approaching a radiation dryer. Areas of the sheet where the shielding is so intense that it does not allow the ink to dry satisfactorily not be printed, as the color can still be blurred or transferred to other sheets after being displayed or laid out.
  • the deterioration in drying can result in low abrasion and / or scratch resistance.
  • a gripper carriage profile is, for example, a T-shaped profile, which, however, requires a larger shadow cast on arc areas close to the gripper carriage.
  • a sheet conveyor for a sheet processing machine is known, a gripper bridge being formed in the form of a carrier profile having straps.
  • the gripper bridge can be formed by means of a carrier profile from the group of C, S, double T, U or Z profiles.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an alternative gripper carriage or an alternative method for transporting sheets in the delivery of a sheet processing machine.
  • An alternative sheet processing machine with a radiation dryer and at least one gripper carriage is also to be created.

  • the invention has the advantage that an alternative gripper carriage or an alternative method for transporting sheets in the delivery of a sheet-processing machine is created.
  • An alternative sheet processing machine with a radiation dryer and at least one corresponding gripper carriage is also created.
  • the reflector deflects part of the dryer radiation, which would be uselessly absorbed by the gripper carriage in the absence of the reflector, onto the front edge of a sheet transported by the gripper carriage. This does not prevent the gripper carriage from shielding the sheet from its radiation before it reaches the radiation dryer. However, as soon as the gripper carriage has passed the radiation dryer, the reflector directs radiation back to the radiation dryer, which has left the radiation dryer with at least one component in the sheet transport direction and would not hit the sheet if the spreading is unimpeded, so that its front edge after the gripper carriage has not hit it shields more, the more intensely irradiated.
  • the reflector should preferably extend continuously over the entire width of the sheet transport path or the sheet transport plane.
  • the reflector should preferably be in section at least in a longitudinal direction of the gripper carriage plane, i. H. be straight in a plane parallel to the front edge of the sheet transported by the gripper carriage, in order to reduce a redistribution of the radiation transverse to the sheet transport direction.
  • the reflector can also be straight in a sectional plane orthogonal to the front edge; however, a convex or in particular concave curved cross-sectional shape can also be useful here in order to optimize the radiation distribution.

  • the reflectivity of the reflector for the radiation from the radiation dryer should be at least 40%, preferably at least 60%, in particular at least 75%.
  • Such reflectivity, in particular the degree of reflection, can be achieved in the ultraviolet (in particular wavelength 220 nm to 400 nm), in particular with an aluminum surface.

  • This edge region 26 becomes narrower the closer the gripper carriage 19 comes to the radiation source 25, at the same time the radiation intensity to which the sheet 22 is exposed beyond the shaded edge region 26 becomes ever higher.
  • the total radiation dose that the sheet 22 has received until its leading edge reaches that in Fig. 3 position shown has reached maximum approach to the radiation source 25, therefore decreases from the rear to the front edge.

  • the layer system can then be constructed in such a way that not only UV radiation and light (for curing) are reflected (such as a dichroic reflector in the UV module), but also IR radiation is reflected. This prevents the gripper carriage 19 from heating up with IR radiation.
