Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a data page for a book-like document, in particular a book-like value or security document, and a device for producing such a data page.
- a method and a device for producing a data page for a book-like document are known, in which a flexible strip material is fed with a feed device to a gripping device which is positioned in a receiving position in the pick and place area for the feed device. After equipping the Gripping device with the flexible strip material, it is moved from the placement area into an adjacent workspace in which a data carrier is positioned. An edge area of the flexible strip material is positioned by the gripping device in relation to an edge area of the data carrier, so that an overlapping area is formed. The flexible band material is then permanently connected to the data carrier in the overlapping area, at least in sections, and the gripping device is then returned from the work area to the pick-up position in the assembly area.
- a processing unit has means for positively and/or cohesively connecting a tab to the data carrier while forming an overlapping area.
- the invention is based on the object of proposing a method and a device for producing a data page for a book-like document, through which automated production is further improved.
- the flexible strip material of the tab is fed from a feed device to a gripping device which comprises at least a first and second gripping element, with at least one gripping element being movable independently of the other.
- the second gripping element grips one end of the flexible tape material held by the first gripping element and is moved into a working position provided separately from the first gripping element in the tape longitudinal direction and is positioned at a distance from the first gripping element which corresponds at least to the length of the tab.
- a third gripping element is between the first and second gripping member and closed to grip the flexible strip material with a connecting portion of the tab protruding from the gripping jaws of the gripping member.
- the third gripping element is positioned with the held flexible strip material to the data carrier, forming an overlapping area with the data carrier and then permanently connected to the data carrier.
- the first gripping element can also be understood as a feed element, which comprises two drive rollers associated with one another, between which the flexible strip material is guided and the control of a movement direction of the flexible strip material in and against the longitudinal direction of the flexible strip material is made possible.
- This method has the advantage that there is a plane-parallel connection area between the strap and the data carrier, which allows the flexible strip material of the strap to be connected to the data carrier without tension. This in turn has a positive influence on the opening behavior of the book-like document in which the data page is sewn in using the flap.
- the movement of the second gripping element into the working position remote from the first gripping element is controlled by a motor with process monitoring.
- This enables precise positioning of the second gripping element at a distance from the first gripping element. This ensures a high level of process reliability in automated production.
- the first and/or second gripping element can be moved towards one another over a predetermined travel path.
- the flexible strip material which preferably consists of a fabric
- the flexible strip material is no longer held taut by the first and second gripping elements, but rather is held stretched out between the two gripping elements.
- This also has the advantage that fluctuations in the material properties of the flexible band material can be removed from the automation process, so that the same conditions are created in order to pick up the flexible band material held stretched between the two gripping elements by the third gripper. As a result, process reliability can be increased.
- the second gripping element is moved from the working position by a travel distance towards the first gripping element, and preferably the travel distance is less than 2 mm. This removes excess tension from the flexible band material.
- the third gripping element is fed onto the flexible strip material which is held stretched between the first and second gripping elements.
- the length of the gripping jaws of the third gripping element preferably corresponds to the length of the tab or is shorter than the length of the tab.
- the third gripping element can grip the flexible strip material, so that a connecting area of the tab to be formed protrudes in relation to the gripping jaws of the third gripping element.
- the stretched arrangement of the strip-shaped strip material makes it possible on the one hand to securely grip the protruding area of the tab to be formed and on the other hand to position the flexible strip material on the data carrier with repeatably the same stretching.
- the flexible strip material is cut to length between the first and third gripping elements by a cutting tool and the second gripping element is opened.
- the length of the flexible strip material is advantageously cut to the final dimension for the length of the tab to be attached to the data carrier.
- the third gripping element can then be moved with the tab to the data carrier.
- the flexible strip material is preferably cut between the first and third gripping elements in such a way that an overhang of the flexible Strip material protrudes from the first gripping element in the direction of the second gripping element.
- This enables a process automation, so that the second gripping element is moved to the first gripping element and can grasp the overhang in order to subsequently be moved away to the first gripping element by carrying the flexible strip material into the working position.
- the first gripping element is open and the flexible band material is pulled through the first gripping element.
- the first gripping element is moved, preferably counter to the longitudinal direction of the flexible strip material, in order to ensure that the flexible strip material projects by a defined amount relative to the first gripping element in the direction of the to form a second gripping element.
- the overhang of the flexible strip material opposite the gripping element protrudes into a working space pointing to the second gripping element and can include an overhang of up to, for example, 20 mm, preferably up to 10 mm.
- the gripping jaws of the first gripping element can be opened and the gripping element can then be moved counter to the longitudinal direction in order to set this overhang. If the first gripping element is designed as a feed element with two opposite transport rollers, these transport rollers can be driven in order to protrude the flexible strip material against these transport rollers with a defined overhang in the direction of the working space.
- a workpiece carrier, on which the data carrier is placed and aligned, is positioned adjacent to the working area between the first and second gripping elements.
- Alignment elements can preferably be provided on or on a support surface of the workpiece carrier, so that a longitudinal side of the data carrier is aligned parallel to the longitudinal extent of the flexible strip material between the first and second gripping element.
- the third gripping element is preferably moved to the workpiece carrier and the connecting area of the tab protruding in relation to the gripping jaws is positioned to form an overlapping area with the data carrier and then permanently connected by lamination, clawing or welding.
- the height and/or depth of the third gripping element can be precisely adjusted to the connection position.
- the tab to be connected to the data carrier is preferably held by the gripping jaws of the third gripping element during lamination or welding to the data carrier.
- a fabric made of textile fibers or plastic fibers or a mixture thereof or a fleece, a plastic film or a plastic composite layer is supplied as the flexible strip material.
- the materials are advantageously adapted to those of the data carrier in order to enable a permanent connection.
- a splicing device is preferably connected upstream of the feed device.
- the flexible strip material can be fed in endlessly.
- a tape end of a used roll can be detected and a tape beginning of a new roll can be welded to the tape end of the used roll. This allows continuous automation.
- the gripping device is preceded by a sealing device and/or a marking device.
- a sealing device and/or a marking device As a result, further treatment steps and/or processing steps can be carried out in the flexible strip material before it is connected to the data carrier.
- the sealing device introduces a sealing area into the flexible strip material before the flexible strip material is fed into the gripping device, which region is aligned to a front and rear narrow side of the data carrier after the flexible strip material has been positioned relative to the carrier. This makes it possible for individual fibers to be prevented from fanning out when the flexible band material is cut to a final dimension.
- the object on which the invention is based is also achieved by a device for producing a data page for a book-like document, in particular a value or security document, wherein the data page comprises a data carrier and a strap made of flexible strip material, which has a connecting area on the is attached to the data carrier and comprises a protruding area, wherein a gripping device is provided with a first and at least one second gripping element and at least one gripping element can be moved independently of the other, and wherein a tool carrier for receiving the data carrier and a third gripping element are provided, which can be positioned between the first and second gripping element and can be moved to the workpiece carrier and wherein at least one cutting tool for cutting the flexible band material to size and a laminating or splicing device is provided which creates an overlapping area between the las che and the data medium inseparably connected.
- This device can enable automated packaging of the data carrier with the tab to produce the data page with a high product quality. At the same time, customer-specific packaging is possible, for example on different formats of the data page.
- this device has the advantage that the flexible strip material is fed to the lamination or welding process for connection to the data carrier in an appropriate length and shape, so that the corresponding positioning requirements for achieving product quality can be met.
- the second gripping element can preferably be moved along a linear axis with a motor that includes a position monitor, in particular a sensor. This allows the second gripping element to be controlled precisely from a first position, in which an end of the flexible strip material held by the first gripping element is gripped, to a working position provided remotely for this purpose, in that a predetermined length of the flexible strip material is pulled off the feed device.
- the third gripping element can preferably be moved transversely to the longitudinal direction of the flexible strip material and in height relative to the workpiece carrier.
- the flexible strip material held and assembled by the third gripping element can be positioned both plane-parallel and tilt-free to the longitudinal side of the data carrier in the overlapping area with the data carrier.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Datenseite für ein buchartiges Dokument, insbesondere ein buchartiges Wert- oder Sicherheitsdokument, sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung einer solchen Datenseite.The invention relates to a method for producing a data page for a book-like document, in particular a book-like value or security document, and a device for producing such a data page.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung einer Datenseite für ein buchartiges Dokument vorzuschlagen, durch welche eine automatisierte Herstellung weiter verbessert wird.The invention is based on the object of proposing a method and a device for producing a data page for a book-like document, through which automated production is further improved.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Datenseite für ein buchartiges Dokument mit folgenden Verfahrensschritten gelöst:
Das flexible Bandmaterial der Lasche wird von einer Zuführeinrichtung einer Greifvorrichtung zugeführt, welche zumindest ein erstes und zweites Greifelement umfasst, wobei zumindest ein Greifelement unabhängig von dem anderen verfahrbar ist. Das zweite Greifelement greift ein Ende des von dem ersten Greifelement gehaltenen flexiblen Bandmaterials und wird in eine getrennt von dem ersten Greifelement vorgesehene Arbeitsposition in Bandlängsrichtung verfahren und in einem Abstand zum ersten Greifelement positioniert, welcher zumindest der Länge der Lasche entspricht. Ein drittes Greifelement wird zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Greifelement positioniert und zum Greifen des flexiblen Bandmaterials geschlossen, wobei ein Verbindungsbereich der Lasche gegenüber den Greifbacken des Greifelementes hervorsteht. Das dritte Greifelement wird mit dem gehaltenen flexiblen Bandmaterial zum Datenträger unter Bildung eines Überlappungsbereiches mit dem Datenträger positioniert und daraufhin unlösbar mit dem Datenträger verbunden.This object is achieved by a method for producing a data page for a book-like document with the following method steps:
The flexible strip material of the tab is fed from a feed device to a gripping device which comprises at least a first and second gripping element, with at least one gripping element being movable independently of the other. The second gripping element grips one end of the flexible tape material held by the first gripping element and is moved into a working position provided separately from the first gripping element in the tape longitudinal direction and is positioned at a distance from the first gripping element which corresponds at least to the length of the tab. A third gripping element is between the first and second gripping member and closed to grip the flexible strip material with a connecting portion of the tab protruding from the gripping jaws of the gripping member. The third gripping element is positioned with the held flexible strip material to the data carrier, forming an overlapping area with the data carrier and then permanently connected to the data carrier.
Unter dem ersten Greifelement kann auch ein Vorschubelement verstanden werden, welches zwei einander zugeordnete Antriebsrollen umfasst, zwischen denen das flexible Bandmaterial geführt wird und die Ansteuerung einer Verfahrrichtung des flexiblen Bandmaterials in und entgegen der Bandlängsrichtung des flexiblen Bandmaterials ermöglicht wird.The first gripping element can also be understood as a feed element, which comprises two drive rollers associated with one another, between which the flexible strip material is guided and the control of a movement direction of the flexible strip material in and against the longitudinal direction of the flexible strip material is made possible.
Dieses Verfahren weist den Vorteil auf, dass ein planparalleler Verbindungsbereich der Lasche zum Datenträger gegeben ist, wodurch eine spannungsfreie Verbindung des flexiblen Bandmaterials der Lasche zum Datenträger ermöglicht wird. Dies wiederum hat einen positiven Einfluss auf das Aufsperrverhalten des buchartigen Dokumentes, in welchem die Datenseite mittels der Lasche eingenäht wird.This method has the advantage that there is a plane-parallel connection area between the strap and the data carrier, which allows the flexible strip material of the strap to be connected to the data carrier without tension. This in turn has a positive influence on the opening behavior of the book-like document in which the data page is sewn in using the flap.
Bevorzugt wird die Verfahrbewegung des zweiten Greifelementes in die Arbeitsposition entfernt zum ersten Greifelement durch einen Motor mit einer Prozessüberwachung angesteuert. Dies ermöglicht eine präzise Positionierung des zweiten Greifelementes im Abstand zum ersten Greifelement. Dadurch ist eine hohe Prozesssicherheit bei der automatisierten Herstellung gegeben.Preferably, the movement of the second gripping element into the working position remote from the first gripping element is controlled by a motor with process monitoring. This enables precise positioning of the second gripping element at a distance from the first gripping element. This ensures a high level of process reliability in automated production.
Nach dem Überführen des zweiten Greifelementes in die Arbeitsposition und dem Schließen des ersten Greifelementes kann das erste und/oder zweite Greifelement mit einem vorbestimmten Verfahrweg aufeinander zubewegt werden. Dies weist den Vorteil auf, dass das flexible Bandmaterial, welches vorzugsweise aus einem Gewebe besteht, nicht mehr durch das erste und zweite Greifelement gespannt gehalten ist, sondern gestreckt zwischen den zwei Greifelementen gehalten wird. Dies weist auch den Vorteil auf, dass Schwankungen in den Materialeigenschaften des flexiblen Bandmaterials aus dem Automatisierungsprozess entnommen werden können, sodass gleiche Verhältnisse geschaffen werden, um das zwischen den beiden Greifelementen gestreckt gehaltene flexible Bandmaterial durch den dritten Greifer aufzunehmen. Dadurch kann die Prozesssicherheit erhöht werden.After the second gripping element has been moved into the working position and the first gripping element has been closed, the first and/or second gripping element can be moved towards one another over a predetermined travel path. This has the advantage that the flexible strip material, which preferably consists of a fabric, is no longer held taut by the first and second gripping elements, but rather is held stretched out between the two gripping elements. This also has the advantage that fluctuations in the material properties of the flexible band material can be removed from the automation process, so that the same conditions are created in order to pick up the flexible band material held stretched between the two gripping elements by the third gripper. As a result, process reliability can be increased.
Vorteilhafterweise wird das zweite Greifelement aus der Arbeitsposition um einen Verfahrweg in Richtung auf das erste Greifelement zubewegt, und vorzugsweise ist der Verfahrweg kleiner als 2 mm. Dadurch wird eine zu hohe Spannung aus dem flexiblen Bandmaterial herausgenommen.Advantageously, the second gripping element is moved from the working position by a travel distance towards the first gripping element, and preferably the travel distance is less than 2 mm. This removes excess tension from the flexible band material.
Bevorzugt wird das dritte Greifelement auf das flexible Bandmaterial zugeführt, welches gestreckt zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Greifelement gehalten wird. Vorzugsweise entspricht die Länge der Greifbacken des dritten Greifelementes der Länge der Lasche oder ist kürzer als die Länge der Lasche ausgebildet. Dabei kann das dritte Greifelement das flexible Bandmaterial greifen, sodass ein Verbindungsbereich der zu bildenden Lasche gegenüber dem Greifbacken des dritten Greifelementes hervorsteht. Durch die gestreckte Anordnung des bandförmigen Bandmaterials wird zum einen ermöglicht, dass ein sicheres Greifen des überstehenden Bereiches der zu bildenden Lasche ermöglicht wird und zum anderen gleichzeitig das flexible Bandmaterial mit wiederholbar gleicher Streckung auf dem Datenträger positioniert wird.Preferably the third gripping element is fed onto the flexible strip material which is held stretched between the first and second gripping elements. The length of the gripping jaws of the third gripping element preferably corresponds to the length of the tab or is shorter than the length of the tab. In this case, the third gripping element can grip the flexible strip material, so that a connecting area of the tab to be formed protrudes in relation to the gripping jaws of the third gripping element. The stretched arrangement of the strip-shaped strip material makes it possible on the one hand to securely grip the protruding area of the tab to be formed and on the other hand to position the flexible strip material on the data carrier with repeatably the same stretching.
Nach dem Halten des flexiblen Bandmaterials durch das dritte Greifelement wird das flexible Bandmaterial zwischen dem ersten und dritten Greifelement durch ein Schneidwerkzeug auf Länge geschnitten und das zweite Greifelement geöffnet. Dabei wird die Länge des flexiblen Bandmaterials vorteilhafterweise auf das Endmaß für die Länge der an dem Datenträger zu befestigenden Lasche geschnitten. Das dritte Greifelement kann daraufhin mit der Lasche zum Datenträger verfahren werden.After the flexible strip material is held by the third gripping element, the flexible strip material is cut to length between the first and third gripping elements by a cutting tool and the second gripping element is opened. The length of the flexible strip material is advantageously cut to the final dimension for the length of the tab to be attached to the data carrier. The third gripping element can then be moved with the tab to the data carrier.
Bevorzugt wird das flexible Bandmaterial zwischen dem ersten und dritten Greifelement derart geschnitten, dass ein Überstand des flexiblen Bandmaterials aus dem ersten Greifelement in Richtung auf das zweite Greifelement hervorsteht. Dies ermöglicht eine Prozessautomatisation, sodass das zweite Greifelement zum ersten Greifelement verfahren wird und den Überstand ergreifen kann, um darauffolgend durch Mitführen des flexiblen Bandmaterials in die Arbeitsposition entfernt zum ersten Greifelement verfahren zu werden. Dabei ist das erste Greifelement geöffnet, und das flexible Bandmaterial wird durch das erste Greifelement hindurchgezogen.The flexible strip material is preferably cut between the first and third gripping elements in such a way that an overhang of the flexible Strip material protrudes from the first gripping element in the direction of the second gripping element. This enables a process automation, so that the second gripping element is moved to the first gripping element and can grasp the overhang in order to subsequently be moved away to the first gripping element by carrying the flexible strip material into the working position. In this case, the first gripping element is open and the flexible band material is pulled through the first gripping element.
Nach einer weiteren Ausführungsform des Verfahrens ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass nach dem Schneiden des flexiblen Bandmaterials durch das Schneidwerkzeug das erste Greifelement, vorzugsweise entgegen der Bandlängsrichtung des flexiblen Bandmaterials, verfahren wird, um einen definierten Überstand des flexiblen Bandmaterials gegenüber dem ersten Greifelement in Richtung auf das zweite Greifelement zu bilden. Dabei ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass der Überstand des flexiblen Bandmaterials gegenüber dem Greifelement in einen Arbeitsraum zum zweiten Greifelement weisend hervorsteht und einen Überstand von bis zu beispielsweise 20 mm, vorzugsweise bis zu 10 mm, umfassen kann. Nach dem Schneidprozess können die Greifbacken des ersten Greifelements geöffnet und daraufhin das Greifelement entgegen der Längsrichtung verfahren werden, um diesen Überstand einzustellen. Sofern das erste Greifelement als ein Vorschubelement mit zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Transportrollen ausgebildet ist, können diese Transportrollen angetrieben werden, um das flexible Bandmaterial gegenüber diesen Transportrollen in einem definierten Überstand hervorstehend in Richtung auf den Arbeitsraum anzutreiben.According to a further embodiment of the method, it is preferably provided that after the flexible strip material has been cut by the cutting tool, the first gripping element is moved, preferably counter to the longitudinal direction of the flexible strip material, in order to ensure that the flexible strip material projects by a defined amount relative to the first gripping element in the direction of the to form a second gripping element. It is preferably provided that the overhang of the flexible strip material opposite the gripping element protrudes into a working space pointing to the second gripping element and can include an overhang of up to, for example, 20 mm, preferably up to 10 mm. After the cutting process, the gripping jaws of the first gripping element can be opened and the gripping element can then be moved counter to the longitudinal direction in order to set this overhang. If the first gripping element is designed as a feed element with two opposite transport rollers, these transport rollers can be driven in order to protrude the flexible strip material against these transport rollers with a defined overhang in the direction of the working space.
Benachbart zu dem Arbeitsbereich zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Greifelement ist ein Werkstückträger positioniert, auf welchem der Datenträger aufgelegt und ausgerichtet wird. Vorzugsweise können Ausrichtelemente an oder auf einer Auflagefläche des Werkstückträgers vorgesehen sein, sodass eine Längsseite des Datenträgers parallel zur Längserstreckung des flexiblen Bandmaterials zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Greifelement ausgerichtet wird.A workpiece carrier, on which the data carrier is placed and aligned, is positioned adjacent to the working area between the first and second gripping elements. Alignment elements can preferably be provided on or on a support surface of the workpiece carrier, so that a longitudinal side of the data carrier is aligned parallel to the longitudinal extent of the flexible strip material between the first and second gripping element.
Des Weiteren wird bevorzugt das dritte Greifelement zum Werkstückträger verfahren und der gegenüber den Greifbacken hervorstehende Verbindungsbereich der Lasche unter Bildung eines Überlappungsbereichs zum Datenträger positioniert und darauffolgend durch Lamination, durch Verkrallung oder Verschweißung unlösbar verbunden. Das dritte Greifelement kann dabei in der Höhe und/oder Tiefe an die Verbindungsposition exakt angepasst werden. Die mit dem Datenträger zu verbindende Lasche wird bevorzugt während dem Laminieren oder Verschweißen mit dem Datenträger durch die Greifbacken des dritten Greifelementes gehalten. Dadurch kann ein Knautschen oder eine winklige Anordnung der Lasche zum Datenträger verhindert sein, wodurch eine verbesserte mechanische Verbindung erzielt werden kann. Dies führt zu einer erhöhten mechanischen Beständigkeit und Haltbarkeit der zu bildenden Datenseite.Furthermore, the third gripping element is preferably moved to the workpiece carrier and the connecting area of the tab protruding in relation to the gripping jaws is positioned to form an overlapping area with the data carrier and then permanently connected by lamination, clawing or welding. The height and/or depth of the third gripping element can be precisely adjusted to the connection position. The tab to be connected to the data carrier is preferably held by the gripping jaws of the third gripping element during lamination or welding to the data carrier. As a result, crumples or an angular arrangement of the tab relative to the data carrier can be prevented, as a result of which an improved mechanical connection can be achieved. This leads to increased mechanical resistance and durability of the data page to be formed.
Vorteilhafterweise wird als flexibles Bandmaterial ein Gewebe aus Textilfasern oder Kunststofffasern oder eine Mischung davon oder einem Vlies, einer Kunststofffolie oder einer Kunststoffverbundschicht zugeführt. Vorteilhafterweise sind die Materialien an die des Datenträgers angepasst, um eine dauerhafte Verbindung zu ermöglichen.Advantageously, a fabric made of textile fibers or plastic fibers or a mixture thereof or a fleece, a plastic film or a plastic composite layer is supplied as the flexible strip material. The materials are advantageously adapted to those of the data carrier in order to enable a permanent connection.
Des Weiteren wird bevorzugt der Zuführeinrichtung eine Spleißvorrichtung vorgeschalten. Dadurch kann eine endlose Zuführung des flexiblen Bandmaterials erfolgen. Durch diese Spleißvorrichtung kann ein Bandende der einen verbrauchten Rolle erkannt werden und ein Bandanfang einer neuen Rolle mit dem Bandende der verbrauchten Rolle verschweißt werden. Dadurch kann eine durchgehende Automatisierung ermöglicht sein.Furthermore, a splicing device is preferably connected upstream of the feed device. As a result, the flexible strip material can be fed in endlessly. With this splicing device, a tape end of a used roll can be detected and a tape beginning of a new roll can be welded to the tape end of the used roll. This allows continuous automation.
Zur Durchführung des Verfahrens ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass der Greifvorrichtung eine Versiegelungseinrichtung und/oder eine Markierungseinrichtung vorgeschalten wird. Dadurch können weitere Behandlungsschritte und/oder Bearbeitungsschritte in dem flexiblen Bandmaterial durchgeführt werden, bevor dieses an den Datenträger angebunden wird.To carry out the method, it is preferably provided that the gripping device is preceded by a sealing device and/or a marking device. As a result, further treatment steps and/or processing steps can be carried out in the flexible strip material before it is connected to the data carrier.
Des Weiteren ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass durch die Versieglungseinrichtung vor dem Zuführen des flexiblen Bandmaterials in die Greifeinrichtung ein Versiegelungsbereich in das flexible Bandmaterial eingebracht wird, der nach dem Positionieren des flexiblen Bandmaterials zum Träger zu einer vorderen und hinteren Schmalseite des Datenträgers ausgerichtet ist. Dies ermöglicht, dass beim Schneiden des flexiblen Bandmaterials auf ein Endmaß ein Aufspleißen von einzelnen Fasern verhindert werden kann.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the sealing device introduces a sealing area into the flexible strip material before the flexible strip material is fed into the gripping device, which region is aligned to a front and rear narrow side of the data carrier after the flexible strip material has been positioned relative to the carrier. This makes it possible for individual fibers to be prevented from fanning out when the flexible band material is cut to a final dimension.
Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird des Weiteren durch eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung einer Datenseite für ein buchartiges Dokument, insbesondere ein Wert- oder Sicherheitsdokument, gelöst, wobei die Datenseite einen Datenträger und eine aus einem flexiblen Bandmaterial bestehende Lasche umfasst, die mit einem Verbindungsbereich an dem Datenträger befestigt ist, und einen überstehenden Bereich umfasst, wobei eine Greifvorrichtung mit einem ersten und zumindest einem zweiten Greifelement vorgesehen ist und zumindest ein Greifelement unabhängig zum anderen verfahrbar ist, und wobei ein Werkzeugträger zur Aufnahme des Datenträgers als auch ein drittes Greifelement vorgesehen ist, welches zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Greifelement positionierbar und zum Werkstückträger verfahrbar ist und wobei zumindest ein Schneidwerkzeug zum Zuschneiden des flexiblen Bandmaterials sowie eine Laminier- oder Spleißvorrichtung vorgesehen ist, welche einen Überlappungsbereich zwischen der Lasche und dem Datenträger unlösbar verbindet.The object on which the invention is based is also achieved by a device for producing a data page for a book-like document, in particular a value or security document, wherein the data page comprises a data carrier and a strap made of flexible strip material, which has a connecting area on the is attached to the data carrier and comprises a protruding area, wherein a gripping device is provided with a first and at least one second gripping element and at least one gripping element can be moved independently of the other, and wherein a tool carrier for receiving the data carrier and a third gripping element are provided, which can be positioned between the first and second gripping element and can be moved to the workpiece carrier and wherein at least one cutting tool for cutting the flexible band material to size and a laminating or splicing device is provided which creates an overlapping area between the las che and the data medium inseparably connected.
Durch diese Vorrichtung kann eine automatisierte Konfektionierung des Datenträgers mit der Lasche zur Herstellung der Datenseite mit einer hohen Produktqualität ermöglicht sein. Gleichzeitig ist eine kundenspezifische Konfektionierung beispielsweise auf unterschiedliche Formate der Datenseite möglich. Zudem weist diese Vorrichtung den Vorteil auf, dass das flexible Bandmaterial in einer zutreffenden Länge und Form dem Laminier- oder Schweißprozess zum Verbinden mit dem Datenträger zugeführt wird, sodass die entsprechenden Positionierungsanforderungen zur Erzielung der Produktqualität eingehalten werden können.This device can enable automated packaging of the data carrier with the tab to produce the data page with a high product quality. At the same time, customer-specific packaging is possible, for example on different formats of the data page. In addition, this device has the advantage that the flexible strip material is fed to the lamination or welding process for connection to the data carrier in an appropriate length and shape, so that the corresponding positioning requirements for achieving product quality can be met.
Bevorzugt ist das zweite Greifelement entlang einer Linearachse mit einem Motor verfahrbar, der eine Positionsüberwachung, insbesondere einen Sensor, umfasst. Dadurch kann eine exakte Ansteuerung des zweiten Greifelementes aus einer ersten Position, in der ein von dem ersten Greifelement gehaltenes Ende des flexiblen Bandmaterials ergriffen wird, in eine entfernt dazu vorgesehene Arbeitsposition ermöglicht sein, indem eine vorbestimmte Länge des flexiblen Bandmaterials von der Zuführeinrichtung abgezogen wird. Gleichzeitig kann dadurch auch sichergestellt sein, dass in einem ersten Prozessschritt beim Verfahren des zweiten Greifelementes in die Arbeitsposition eine definierte Spannung des flexiblen Bandmaterials zwischen dem ersten und zweiten Greifelement aufgebaut wird, welche darauffolgend gezielt durch eine Verfahrbewegung, vorzugsweise des zweiten Greifelementes, wieder abgebaut wird, sodass eine gezielte Streckung des flexiblen Bandmaterials einstellbar ist, bevor das dritte Greifelement das flexible Bandmaterial ergreift.The second gripping element can preferably be moved along a linear axis with a motor that includes a position monitor, in particular a sensor. This allows the second gripping element to be controlled precisely from a first position, in which an end of the flexible strip material held by the first gripping element is gripped, to a working position provided remotely for this purpose, in that a predetermined length of the flexible strip material is pulled off the feed device. At the same time, it can also be ensured that in a first process step when moving the second gripping element into the working position, a defined tension is built up in the flexible strip material between the first and second gripping element, which is then released again in a targeted manner by a displacement movement, preferably of the second gripping element , So that a targeted stretching of the flexible strip material can be set before the third gripping element takes hold of the flexible strip material.
Des Weiteren ist bevorzugt das dritte Greifelement quer zur Längsrichtung des flexiblen Bandmaterials und in der Höhe relativ zum Werkstückträger verfahrbar. Dadurch kann das durch das dritte Greifelement gehaltene und konfektionierte flexible Bandmaterial sowohl planparallel als auch verkippungsfrei zur Längsseite des Datenträgers im Überlappungsbereich zum Datenträger positioniert werden.Furthermore, the third gripping element can preferably be moved transversely to the longitudinal direction of the flexible strip material and in height relative to the workpiece carrier. As a result, the flexible strip material held and assembled by the third gripping element can be positioned both plane-parallel and tilt-free to the longitudinal side of the data carrier in the overlapping area with the data carrier.
Bevorzugt ist in Transportrichtung des flexiblen Bandmaterials gesehen vor der Greifvorrichtung eine Markierungseinrichtung vorgesehen, durch welche Markierungen und/oder individuelle Informationen und/oder personalisierte Informationen, beispielsweise durch Bedrucken mit Tinte, mittels Laser und/oder mit Stempeln, auf- oder eingebracht werden.A marking device is preferably provided in front of the gripping device, viewed in the transport direction of the flexible strip material, by means of which markings and/or individual information and/or personalized information are applied or introduced, for example by printing with ink, using a laser and/or stamps.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung zur Herstellung der Datenseite sieht vor, dass in Transportrichtung des flexiblen Bandmaterials gesehen vor der Greifvorrichtung eine Versiegelungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, welche einen Versiegelungsbereich im flexiblen Bandmaterial mittels Ultraschall und/oder mittels Temperatur und/oder mittels Druck erzeugt. In diesem Versiegelungsbereich liegt bevorzugt eine Schnittkante beim Zuschneiden oder Stanzen der Datenseite auf ein Endformat und verhindert ein Aufspleißen von Fasern des flexiblen Bandmaterials.A further preferred embodiment of the device for producing the data page provides that, seen in the transport direction of the flexible strip material, a sealing device is provided in front of the gripping device, which creates a sealing area in the flexible strip material by means of ultrasound and/or temperature and/or pressure. In this sealing range is preferred a cut edge when cutting or punching the data page to a final format and prevents the fibers of the flexible tape material from fanning out.

Danach wird das flexible Bandmaterial 26 durch das Schneidwerkzeug 36 auf Länge geschnitten. Dies ist in
Das Schneidwerkzeug 39 kann gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform nahe an dem ersten Greifelement 44 positioniert sein. Zur Erzielung eines hinreichenden Überstandes 57 des flexiblen Bandmaterials 26 im ersten Greifelement 44 in Richtung auf das zweite Greifelement 46 kann vorgesehen sein, dass das erste Greifelement 44 nach dem Schneidprozess geöffnet und entgegen der Bandlängsrichtung des flexiblen Bandmaterials 26 verfahren wird, so dass der so eingestellte Überstand 57 gegenüber dem ersten Greifelement 44 erzielt wird. Darauffolgend wird das erste Greifelement 44 geschlossen und wiederum in Richtung auf einen Arbeitsraum 55, also in Richtung auf den Werkstückträger 34, verfahren, so dass eine Startposition erzielt wird, bei der das zweite Greifelement 46 den Überstand 57 ergreifen kann. Bevorzugt ist der Überstand 57 derart gewählt, dass dieser gegenüber einem geöffneten Schneidwerkzeug 39 in den Arbeitsraum 55 hinein hervorsteht, so dass das zweite Greifelement 46 an dem Überstand 57 angreifen kann. Darauffolgend wird das dritte Greifelement 48, wie dies in
