Sheet processing machine with at least one transport means of a feed system and method for the relative change in position of a transport means of a feed system

The invention relates to a sheet processing machine with at least one transport means of a feed system and a method for the relative change in position of a transport means of a feed system according to the preamble of claim 1 or according to the preamble of claim 44.

In the manufacture of packaging, sheet or sheet-like materials are used. In several processing steps, sheets are, for example, printed, embossed, grooved, perforated, punched, cut, stapled, glued and, for example, folded into packaging. For optimal use of the area of an arch, several identical or different copies, z. B. a poster, a folding box or packaging, printed on a common sheet and then punched. These copies are referred to as utility.

A sheet processing machine can include various processing steps such as printing, cutting, embossing, creasing, punching, perforating, gluing and / or stapling. Such sheet processing machines often also have inspection devices. Usually, sheets are processed and cut to size in processing machines with shaped punching and cutting devices.

Such a processing machine is designed, for example, as a punching, cutting, perforating, embossing and / or creasing machine. When such a processing machine is referred to below as a punching and / or punching machine, a cutting, perforating, embossing and / or creasing machine is also meant in particular.

In the case of form-related systems, there are also rotary die-cutters Flat punching, in particular flat bed punching. In these, several sheets are processed one after the other by a cyclically repeating movement. The sheets are preferably moved largely horizontally through the processing machine with a transport system, preferably a chain gripper system. In addition to a punching unit, such a machine usually also has other units such. B. a sheet feed unit, a sheet delivery unit, a stripping unit, a sheet insert unit, a blanking unit and a remnant delivery unit. The sheet feeder unit is preferably designed for transferring sheets to the transport system. In addition, sheets are aligned, for example in the sheet feeder unit.

From US Pat. No. 8,727,346 B2 a device for positioning plate-shaped elements in a system unit of a processing machine is known, which device grips the element at a predetermined position and transports it to a subsequent processing station.

DE 101 11 070 A1 discloses a sheet-fed printing machine with a feed system for feeding sheets from a sheet feeder to the sheet-fed printing machine, the feed system comprising at least one reciprocating pregripper and a drive device for the feed system. The pre-gripper can be uncoupled from the drive device. The pregripper can be driven with the aid of a lever mechanism. The drive device is designed as a cam drive, a cam plate connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a drive shaft cooperating with a first pivot lever of the lever mechanism that can pivot about a fixed axis. A sheet is aligned using a swiveling front lay, then taken over by the pre-gripper and transported on.

DE 102 58271 A1 discloses a device for preventing a spring-loaded control roller from being lifted off its control cam in the case of gripper controls in sheets processing machines. A support gear is provided which is arranged separately from the gripper control and acts on the control roller in critical areas with an additional force. The support gear comprises two pivotably mounted levers which are under the force of a spring element.

The teaching of DE 102008 031 275 A1 relates to a device for the lateral alignment of sheets of printing material with a gripper system. In this case, pincer gripper fingers are arranged on a gripper finger shaft and pincer gripper stops are arranged on a gripper stop shaft on the periphery of the sheet transport device. One of the two shafts is designed as a hollow shaft and coaxially surrounds the other shaft. At least the gripper finger shaft is rotatably mounted and can be driven to oscillate. In particular, the gripper finger shaft and gripper impact shaft can be adjusted synchronously in the axial direction. The gripper impact shaft can be pivoted in order to change the gripper closed position. The pivoting movement is brought about by means of a drive by shifting a support point of a sliding bearing of a torque support.

DE 102009041 230 B4 teaches a method and device for the lateral alignment of a sheet in a processing machine. The device has at least one sensor for detecting the actual position of the sheet. Before the sheet is grasped by the gripper device, the gripper device is pre-aligned. The gripper device is pre-aligned to a predetermined position in accordance with the actual position of the sheet with respect to its lateral position.

A sheet processing machine is known from WO 2018/206588 A1 which comprises at least one measuring device for detecting a lateral sheet edge of the sheet and a sensor assigned to the lateral area of the transport path for detecting a mark.

The invention is based on the object of having a sheet processing machine to create at least one transport means of a feed system and a method for the relative change in position of a transport means of a feed system.

The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1 and the features of claim 44. The dependent claims show advantageous developments and / or embodiments of the solution found.

The advantages that can be achieved with the invention are in particular that a positionally accurate feed of a respective, preferably at least one, sheet from a contact unit to at least one unit processing the sheet is ensured by at least one feed system. A sheet, preferably the at least one sheet, is advantageously aligned in front of a transfer position and, in the transfer position, transferred from the at least one feed system to at least one subsequent transport system. The at least one sheet, more preferably at least twenty, more preferably at least fifty, more preferably a plurality of sheets, is preferably aligned one after the other in the feed system and preferably transferred one after the other to the subsequent transport system.

Positioning the, preferably at least one, sheet in an alignment position, in particular on at least two front lays, advantageously reduces and / or minimizes a positional error of the sheet. The, preferably at least one, sheet is thus roughly aligned, in particular with regard to its position relative to at least one transport means, preferably at least one gripper, of the at least one feed system. Thus, the respective, preferably the at least one, sheet is advantageously held by the at least one transport means, in particular following the positioning, in a print-free area of the sheet, so that any print image and / or the surface of the sheet may be present during the holding and / or transport of the sheet through the at least one means of transport is spared.

Advantageously, the sheet, preferably at least one, is finely aligned during the transport from the alignment position to the transfer position. The fine alignment is advantageously carried out at least with regard to a position error of the sheet, preferably at least with regard to a position error of the sheet in a transport direction of sheets and / or with regard to a misalignment of the sheet and / or with regard to a lateral position error, in particular when the sheet is shifted orthogonally to the transport direction of sheets . In particular, the feed system is designed to precisely align the at least one sheet. The at least one sheet is advantageously transported in an aligned manner to the processing units and processed in these in its position, which is preferably aligned by the feed system.

The sheet processing machine advantageously has at least one transport means of a feed system. The feed system preferably comprises at least one cam gear, each with at least one cam disk and a rotation axis of the at least one cam disk. At least one scanning element is preferably arranged in each case in contact with the at least one cam disk.

The at least one drive lever preferably has at least one bearing point in each case. The bearing point and the axis of rotation are preferably adjustable and / or adjusted and / or designed to be adjustable and / or adjusted relative to one another. A position shift of the bearing point relative to the axis of rotation is preferably designed to compensate for at least one position error of at least one arc. A relative change in position of the transport means of the feed system of the sheet processing machine preferably takes place. In an advantageous manner, an optimal feeding of the at least one sheet to a unit processing the sheet is thereby ensured. The, preferably at least one, sheet is advantageously transported from the alignment position to a transfer position by at least one movement of the at least one transport means, preferably the at least one gripper of the feed system, along a sheet transport path, in particular by at least one cam gear of the feed system, more preferably by at least one double cam gear of the feed system. The at least one cam gear is advantageously connected to at least one drive shaft which is driven by an in particular central drive of the sheet processing machine.

The at least one cam gear for the transport movement of the, preferably at least one, arch is advantageously designed as a double cam gear with at least two cam disks each. If a scanning element is in contact with one of the cam disks of the double cam mechanism and if at least two scanning elements are arranged on a preferably common drive lever, then advantageously all scanning elements are preferably permanently in contact with the respective one, preferably the at least one, cam disk with no play. The in each case at least one further scanning element is preferably designed as a pressing element of the respective at least one scanning element.

The feed system advantageously has at least two cam gears arranged parallel to one another in the transport direction on at least one, preferably common, drive shaft. This advantageously enables the drive torque to be picked up in parallel from the at least one drive shaft. At least one actuator is preferably assigned to each cam gear of the feed system. The at least one actuator advantageously engages in the at least one cam gear. The at least one actuating drive advantageously intervenes in converting the torque of the drive shaft into a preferably linear movement of the at least one transport means of the feed system through the at least one cam gear. Advantageously, at least one actuator is at least for a compensation of an inclined position of the sheet is controlled and / or regulated. In addition, at least two actuators are advantageously activated and / or regulated at least to compensate for a position error in the transport direction. The at least one actuating drive is preferably designed to drive, preferably move, the at least one transport means of the feed system in addition to a movement of the cam mechanism due to the drive of the processing machine.

Advantageously, the at least one drive shaft and at least one holding element of a transport system following the at least one transport means are preferably driven and / or mechanically or electronically connected to one another via the in particular central drive of the sheet processing machine, whereby the at least one transport means and the at least one holding element of the transport system following it are in particular are timed to one another and / or can be coordinated. Because the at least one means of transport and the at least one holding element of the transport system following it are coordinated with one another, in particular, a collision of the relevant components during a movement of the at least one means of transport and / or the at least one holding element of the transport system, in particular due to for example electrical malfunctions, prevented with each other.

The sheet processing machine advantageously has at least one sensor device. At least one contact unit of the sheet processing machine preferably has the at least one sensor device. The at least one sensor device preferably comprises at least two sensors. The at least two sensors are preferably designed as cameras, whereby both an edge and a print mark can preferably be detected.

The at least two sensors are preferably at least one edge and / or The print mark of the at least one sheet is designed to detect and / or detect the sheet. At least two sensors are advantageously arranged parallel to one another and orthogonal to the transport direction and detect at least one leading edge of the sheet in the alignment position. For example, as an alternative or in addition, the at least two sensors detect at least one print mark of the at least one sheet. The at least two sensors preferably detect an edge, preferably a leading edge, and / or at least one print mark of the at least one sheet and / or are designed to detect them. The sheet processing machine, preferably the at least one contact unit, preferably has the at least one feed system. The at least one sensor device is preferably designed to control and / or regulate at least one actuator of the feed system as a function of the detection of at least one sheet of sheets by the at least two sensors. The determined measured value is advantageously fed to a control system which, as a function of the recorded sheet, regulates and / or controls at least one component of the sheet processing machine, in particular at least one actuator. In an advantageous manner, at least one actuator is actuated as a function of the preferably optional detection. At least one component of the sheet processing machine is advantageously controlled and / or regulated.

The sheet is detected by the at least two sensors in the alignment position in such a way that the detection area of the respective, preferably the at least one, sensor has an edge of the sheet and additionally or alternatively a print mark of the sheet. Advantageously, both an edge of the sheet and a print mark of the sheet can thus be detected and / or detected by the respective, preferably the at least one, sensor. Advantageously, both an edge of the sheet and a print mark of the sheet are detected and / or by the respective, preferably the at least one, sensor without a change in the position of the sensor and / or without a change in the position of the detection area detectable. At least one sensor, for example a third sensor, is advantageously arranged in such a way that it detects at least one side edge of the sheet in the alignment position. At least one sensor of the at least two sensors is advantageously designed to detect and / or determine the position in the transport direction of the at least one sheet and the position in the transverse direction of the at least one sheet. The position of the sheet in the transport direction and in the transverse direction and an inclined position of the sheet can thus preferably be determined and / or determined by the at least two sensors. This advantageously makes it possible to save further sensors and / or a lateral stop which are intended to align the sheet in the transverse direction. At least one sensor of the at least two sensors is advantageously designed to detect at least one print mark, which at least one print mark is integrated in at least one print control strip.

Advantageously, the at least one upper holder has at least a mean distance from the at least one lower holder of the at least one transport means during the positioning of the sheet in the alignment position. The arch is advantageously at least partially fixed at a mean distance between the at least one upper holder and the at least one lower holder, at least in one spatial direction, in particular at least in the vertical direction. This advantageously enables positioning and / or rough alignment within the transport path in the alignment position, preferably at least in the transverse direction and / or in the transport direction, the sheet being at least partially, preferably completely, fixed with respect to its vertical position. The at least one mean distance is advantageously set and / or adjustable to a maximum thickness of the sheets to be transported. The mean distance is preferably adjustable for each sheet, so that during the positioning of the respective, preferably the at least one, sheet in the alignment position, there is at least partial fixation in the vertical direction and the respective, preferably the at least one, sheet at least partial freedom of movement in the transport direction and / or orthogonal to the transport direction. The distance between the at least one upper holder and the at least one lower holder is advantageously changed by scanning at least one cam disk by at least one scanning element. The mean distance between the at least one upper bracket and the at least one lower bracket is advantageously set by a transmission shaft which is advantageously eccentrically mounted in an adjusting shaft.
