Definitions

  • the invention relates to a film sheet processing machine, a use of the film sheet processing machine, a method for conveying sheets in a sheet processing machine and the use of a sheet guiding element containing a deionization device in a film sheet processing machine, in particular a turning device of a film sheet processing machine.
  • a sheet guiding device with an electrically insulated, comb-shaped edge is known, with an unloading device for unloading the printing material sheet being arranged in the region of the edge.
  • the arrangement in the edge close to the printing cylinder results in a reduced effect.
  • the edge made of non-conductive material is subject to increased wear, especially in the critical area of the sheet transfer zone, and causes weaknesses in stability in the event of a crash.
  • the arrangement of the discharge device in the concentric interconnect makes it more difficult to maintain the optimum electrode spacing, which leads to reduced effectiveness.
  • a fan unit in a printing machine which includes controllable ion fans.
  • a sheet of printing material can be guided and turned so that it adheres to the turning drum by means of a negative pressure that is generated.
  • fan units containing ion fans can be arranged inside a cylinder or integrated into its surface. This is expensive and also not sufficiently effective.
  • a device for turning a sheet while it is being conveyed through a printing press is known, with a brake arrangement for a sheet being arranged fixed to the frame.
  • the braking arrangement consists of a generator for an alternating magnetic field and a pneumatic guide device for the sheet.
  • a current is to be induced in the ferromagnetic material of the sheet or the printing ink on the sheet.
  • a magnetic field emanating from the eddy current is intended to counteract the field of the generator so that the arc is slowed down.
  • the effectiveness of this principle is questionable.
  • the arcs are also not discharged since no ions are emitted by the generator.
  • a turning device of a sheet-fed printing press wherein an ionization device is assigned to the sheet transport path on or in connection with a storage drum, wherein the sheets guided on the storage drum or fed to the storage drum can be charged with electrical charges.
  • the DE 100 56 018 A1 shows a device for assisting in sheet guiding and depositing, in which a blown air blowing sheet guiding element encloses a deionizing device inside.
  • the DE 10 2008 001 165 A1 shows a sheet-guiding cylinder of a processing machine, the cylinder containing a base body on which a cylinder jacket that is electrically insulated relative to it is arranged.
  • the object of the invention is to create an alternative sheet processing machine or an alternative method for conveying sheets in a sheet processing machine or to improve sheet guidance in general in a sheet processing machine, in particular a turning device of a sheet processing machine.
  • the safe sheet guidance is to be improved, especially in the area of a turning device, especially with low grammage or foil sheets.
  • the invention has the advantage that an alternative sheet processing machine or an alternative method for conveying sheets in a sheet processing machine is created.
  • sheet guidance is further improved, especially in the area of a turning device, which can advantageously lead to a significant increase in the performance of a sheet-processing machine, for example a sheet-fed printing press, in particular a sheet-fed offset printing press.
  • a sheet can be deionized after the sheet has been detached from a sheet-guiding cylinder, in particular a storage drum, in a turning device.

  • the sheet guiding element, in particular sheet guiding plate is preferably spaced apart from the cylinder tangent between a storage drum and a turning drum in such a way that the distance from the sheet corresponds to the optimum electrode spacing.
  • a device in particular a tension suction device on the storage drum, can be provided, which additionally stretches or tightens the sheet in the vicinity of the cylinder tangent between the storage drum and turning drum, so that not only the optimal electrode distance is maintained over the entire sheet length, but also the influence there can be made on the sheet, where it remains free of ion-binding contact with machine parts with masses on the top and bottom, so that the ions are little hindered in the activated deionizing Ambient air can pass, which ultimately leads to the maximum possible discharge of the arc.
  • a discharge cassette is preferably introduced into the sheet guiding element, in particular the sheet guiding plate, under the turn for discharging the sheets.
  • a discharged sheet is thus freed from electrostatic force effects and can be smoothed out so that it can pass through a subsequent processing station or printing zone without waves and creases.
