Description

The present invention includes a paper feeding device that can feed paper from a plurality of roll papers, and includes a plurality of post-processing devices such as a cutting device, a folding device, and a winding device after various processing devices such as printing and processing. The present invention relates to a method for effectively using a multi-printing and processing machine provided.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a conventional apparatus, and the entire apparatus is a multi-printing and processing machine that is driven by a main motor and superimposes a plurality of sheets. Each of the plurality of roll sheet feeding units 17.18 has a sheet 25a. 25b. 25c is fed out so that a predetermined number of colors can be printed for each sheet, the sheet is guided to the printing unit 19 by a guide roller, and each printing unit prints a printing pattern of the same size in the sheet flow direction. A printing cylinder having the same diameter is mounted to perform printing on each sheet.

After printing is completed, each sheet is sent to the collecting unit 20 having a structure that allows paper feeding for each sheet, bypassing the printing unit that does not perform printing, and is fed by controlling the rotation speed of the sheet feeding roller for each sheet. By the amount control and the sheet feeding amount control device of the sheet feeding unit, the length of one printed pattern printed on the sheet is controlled to be the same for each sheet, and the sheet is sent to the next processing unit.

At the exit of the gathering unit 20, the sheets are superposed with the positions of the patterns adjusted so that the lengths of the printed patterns are the same in the flow direction, and various types of processing can be performed on the sheets simultaneously. The sheet is guided to the section 21.

In the processing device unit 21, various types of processing such as a vertical sewing machine, punch hole drilling, horizontal sewing machine, and slitter are performed. After printing and processing, the sheet is cut and discharged into a sheet shape by the cutting device 22 in an overlaid state, or folded in a zigzag shape by the folding device 23, or a continuous sheet of paper is taken up by the winding device 24. In some cases, the continuous paper that is wound up in a roll shape and overlaid is processed and discharged by a post-processing device such as cutting and folding.

In the case of this drawing of a conventional device, there are 3 roll paper feeding units, 6 printing device units, 2 vertical sewing machines, 2 horizontal sewing machines, 2 slitter devices, and 3 punch hole processing units. Depending on the type of the printing apparatus, a printing device portion and a processing device portion that are not used are generated, and there is a waste that the devices that are not used do not contribute to production.

In addition, there is an apparatus disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-240234 as a conventional apparatus. In this apparatus, different printing can be performed at the same speed on each sheet at the same size. The processing has the same content and has the disadvantage that there are fewer opportunities for multiple types of work to satisfy this condition.
