Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of digital printing of printed books, in particular, the flexible production, on demand, of a single book or small series of identical books.
  • the manufacture of printed works requires a certain number of steps including the printing of content on a medium, in particular paper or cardboard. , and the finishing of the work. It can also include the assembly of several printed contents, reformatting, cutting of unprinted margins / edges, binding, gluing, stapling, folding, cutting, ...
  • the offset technique used for decades in printing, allows printing on large format sheets, for example A0 format, several pages of a book, from a carefully prepared blanket, so that a folding of the large-format sheet after printing results in a notebook, also called a signature. Sheets can be printed on both sides.
  • a binding finish For large books, several notebooks of different content must be assembled before applying a binding finish, by sewing, gluing or stapling for example, with, if necessary, cutting the folded borders with a guillotine.
  • this technique is only of interest for printing a large number of identical books.
  • Digital printing has changed the way printers work, by making the printing of small series or even a single book economically accessible.
  • laser or inkjet printing techniques make it possible to do away with the use of a blanket. It is then possible to print all the pages of the book in succession on a paper of size close to the desired final format.
  • Printers store several sizes of paper and choose the starting size closest to the desired final size and adjust it, after printing, by cutting.
  • no printer can print in A5 size, the printer selects an A4 starting sheet, prints the contents of the book, overlays all sheets in the correct order, cuts out the unprinted margins of the stack of sheets to keep only the final surface of the pages, glue the pages together or staple them then fold them, and finally assemble them to the appropriate blanket.
  • This manufacturing process results in a great waste of paper.
  • the cutting step being carried out on the immobilized sheet stack, it slows down the manufacturing process and generally requires the intervention of an operator who must move the stack of printed sheet to the cutter and then to the binding machine.
  • the documents DE 195 39 930 A1 , US 2007/179037 A1 , US 2012/306141 A1 disclose automated methods and systems for manufacturing printed books using a sheet on which several pages are printed, said sheet being in particular transported and folded along different stations.
  • edges is meant the side edges of the folded sheet parallel to the direction of feed.
  • Cutting the edges is a step well known to printers. These edges can be cut continuously by blades or knives, for example circular, during the movement of the sheet.
  • Edge trimming here not only eliminates lost edges, i.e. margins that cannot be printed due to technical limitations of printers, but also eliminates the edge of the folded sheet with folding, in order to obtain two superimposed unbound sheets.
  • the sheets are therefore here half sheets, the side edges of which have been cut.
  • the two sheets will thus advance at the same speed as the starting sheet. This is of great interest at the time of finishing the work, for example gluing, which finish is generally limited in the number of sheets per minute. Thanks to the method of the invention, the sheets arrive two by two, thus making it possible to double the rate.
  • the method of the invention makes it possible to manufacture a series of works, identical or different, in content and / or in format. Each work can be made from several sheets successively subjected to the folding, pivoting and edge cutting stages.
  • the sheet is moved along the feed direction, small edge in front, mainly for technical reasons related to the dimensions of the paper.
  • small front edge or “small front side” is meant the shorter edge of the sheet which faces the feed direction.
  • short edge first or its abbreviation “SEF” are more commonly used by those skilled in the art, even in French.
  • large front edge or “large front side”, in English “long edge first” or “LEF” designates the advancement of the sheet with its longest side arranged perpendicular to the direction of feed.
  • the sheets are printed "long side in front" in order to optimize the printing throughput.
  • a plurality of pages are printed on a sheet 10, here 8 pages arranged on both sides.
  • Sheet 10 is here, for example, in A3 format. It is printed with the long edge 12 in front, the small edge 13 being parallel to the direction followed by the sheet when printing.
  • the sheet On leaving the printer, the sheet is driven in movement along a series of successive stations allowing the implementation of the following steps.
  • step B the sheet 10 is held in its plane and rotated 90 ° with respect to the driving direction, here counterclockwise, in order to place it “small edge 13 in front.
  • This step is necessary for the manufacture of books having a traditional format in their height-to-width ratio, such as books or catalogs. However, it is not necessary for other works having less common formats, much taller than they are wide, such as certain calendars or restaurant menus.
  • step C the sheet 10 is folded in half, perpendicular to the feed direction.
  • Half of the sheet comprising pages 4 and 5 is thus superimposed on half of the sheet comprising pages 1 and 8.
  • the folded border 14 is shown here at the front, which facilitates the feeding of the folded sheet by the means for moving the sheet. If the folded edge 14 were at the back, the front of the sheet would have two edges 15 which could induce manufacturing defects, for example paper wrinkling or misalignment, if these two edges are not maintained. exactly superimposed during the training of the sheet. This problem does not arise when the folded edge 14 is at the front.
  • step D the sheet 10 folded in half is rotated 90 °, here counterclockwise, relative to the feed direction.
  • step E the edges of the folded sheet thus oriented are cut to obtain separate overlapping sheets 16 and 17.
  • Sheet 16 here includes pages 4 and 5 (not shown) and sheet 17 includes pages 1 and 8.
  • Folded border 14 is thus separated from the sheets by cutting the edge 18 also comprising lost edges or margins unnecessary to the work. The opposite lost edges are also eliminated by separation of the edges 19.
  • these “lost edges” are margins which are not included in the edition of the work, but come from the technical constraints of the printers. Depending on the formats and printing techniques, these lost edges are more or less important.
  • the sheets 16 and 17 thus superimposed and separated are driven further towards one or more finishing stations or may again undergo folding, pivoting and edge cutting steps.
  • the A3 format described here is purely illustrative. Another starting format can be used, for example A0 or A4.
  • the formats also include the RA and SRA uncut formats used by printers, which take into account the non-printable margins and the technical constraints of printers.
  • the stations are here shown aligned along a linear feed direction, but it is obvious that the sheet does not necessarily move along a straight line.
  • the sheet can be moved vertically, using mechanisms well known to printers, for example by means of rollers. During the process, it can be positioned as required in a horizontal plane and then a vertical plane or any other plane suitable for the proper implementation of the process. As the printing paper is relatively flexible, the paper feed can be organized in any direction suitable for process optimization.
  • the sheet, folded or not, can also be driven laterally.
  • a 90 ° pivoting can be done by rotating the sheet in the same plane while keeping the same direction of feed but also by changing the direction of feed of the sheet to 90 °, always in the same plane. , that is to say by a 90 ° elbow in line with the posts.
  • page is meant both pages having real content, such as text or images for example, as pages without content, that is. ie blank pages.
  • a step F the sheets 16 and 17 are folded in half perpendicular to the direction of feed, in order to superimpose pages 1 of sheet 17 and 4 of sheet 16 with pages 5 of sheet 16 and 8 of sheet 17.
  • the pages obviously get along with their backs as described above, but which will not be mentioned here for reasons of clarity.
  • a step F the sheets 16 and 17 thus folded are pivoted by 90 ° with respect to the driving direction.
  • a step H the edges of the sheets 16 and 17 thus folded are cut along a border 24 to obtain four separate superimposed sheets 17a, 16a, 16b and 17b.
  • the folded border 24 is thus separated from the sheets by cutting the edge 20 also comprising lost edges or margins unnecessary for the work.
  • the opposite lost edges are also eliminated by separating the four superimposed edges 21.
  • a helical knife can be used to make this cut.
  • a knife consists of a blade installed along a roller under which a sheet or leaflets pass.
  • the roller is disposed substantially, but not exactly, perpendicular to the driving direction.
  • the blade is arranged on the roller so as to cut the sheet or sheets, in motion, perpendicular to the driving direction, by rotation of the roller.
  • the blade is thus arranged in a helix along the length of the roller. The blade does not need to completely wind the roll.
  • a detector can be arranged so as to detect the arrival of the sheet and to allow the synchronization of the rotation of the roll to cut the sheet or the sheets at the desired location.
  • a helical knife module makes it possible, compared to the use of a guillotine knife, to avoid stopping the feeding of the sheets or of waiting for a stack of sheets to be cut and thus not to slow down the production rate.
  • a creasing step can also be added, in particular before a folding step, or in anticipation of a subsequent folding.
  • Creasing consists of making a groove in a sheet or leaflet in order to facilitate folding and / or to prevent the paper or cardboard from being damaged during folding. This step is well known to those skilled in the art and commonly applied in printing.
  • roller registration / rotation systems making it possible to position the printed sheets against the registration border.
  • a large number of rollers are arranged, slightly inclined in order to move the edge of the paper.
  • a few rollers of rubber type material are inserted, which can rotate at higher speeds in order to drive one edge of the sheet more quickly than the other and thus induce a rotation of the sheet.
  • the registration system thus makes it possible to both align and rotate the printed sheet.
  • a similar roller system can similarly be used to rotate several superimposed sheets.
  • the folding step can be implemented by any system known to those skilled in the art such as for example a pocket folder.
  • a pocket folder an abutting sheet is deformed under the effect of the driving force to form a loop.
  • the loop is then "caught" between two rollers which pinch the sheet at the fold and thus complete the fold.
  • a registration / rotation system can be combined with a folding machine, an edge cutting system. Each system can be repeated several times.
  • One or more creasing and / or helical cutting systems can also be added, as can any other system relevant to those skilled in the art.
  • a system can comprise, one next to the other, at the output of the printer (not shown), two blocks 510 and 511.
  • the first block 510 comprises a registration station or module 501 with or without rotation, a conveyor 502 and a pocket folder 503.
  • the second block 511 comprises a registration and sheet rotation module 504, an edge cutting module 505 and a helical knife 506.
  • Each of these modules has the functions described above and 'together allows the implementation of the method of the invention.
  • certain optional modules, such as the helical knife 506, can be “bypassed”, that is to say that a sheet or a sheet can pass through this module without any action being applied to it.
  • Blocks 510 and 511 are shown here on casters 507, to illustrate the great flexibility of the system. Other blocks offering additional functionality can easily be added or interspersed.
  • the stacked sheets are then joined together to form the content block of the book.
  • the binding can be carried out in several ways, such as for example by gluing or stapling. These binding steps are well known to those skilled in the art.
  • the construction of the book ends with the assembly of the content block with a cover, when the book includes one.
