It can be moved upward in FIG. When one nip roll 18 moves away from the other nip roll 18, the web W is not conveyed by these nip rolls 18. In the processing system 10 according to this embodiment, the web W is transported by the pair of nip rolls 18 when the web W unwound from the unwinding roll 12 before the processing is performed on the web W by the processing apparatus 40. On the other hand, while the processing device 40 is processing the web W, the upper nip roll 18 in FIG. 1 moves upward in FIG. 1 so as to be separated from the lower nip roll 18. Accordingly, the web W is not conveyed by the pair of nip rolls 18.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the suction conveyance device 20 includes a conveyance unit 22 composed of a conveyor or the like for conveying the belt-like web W, and an adsorption unit 24 for adsorbing the web W conveyed by the conveyance unit 22. Have. Here, the transport unit 22 has an endless (that is, a circulation shape) belt 22b such as a steel belt that is stretched around a plurality of (two in the example shown in FIG. 2) pulleys 22a. When one pulley 22a among the plurality of pulleys 22a is rotationally driven by the drive motor that does not, the belt 22b circulates in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. The belt 22b is formed with a large number of through holes having a diameter of 0.5 mm, for example. Further, the adsorbing part 24 is provided on the back side of the belt 22b facing the web W, and adsorbs the web W to the belt 22b through a through hole provided in the belt 22b. More specifically, the adsorbing unit 24 is formed of a box-like shape provided with an air chamber inside, for example, and is provided on the ceiling surface of the adsorbing unit 24 (specifically, the surface facing the belt 22b of the conveying unit 22). For example, a plurality of through holes having a diameter of several centimeters are formed uniformly. One end of a suction pipe 32 such as a suction hose is connected to the bottom surface of the suction portion 24, and a three-way valve 34 is connected to the other end of the suction pipe 32. In addition, one end of a suction pipe 36 such as a suction hose is connected to the three-way valve 34, and a suction mechanism 38 such as a blower is connected to the other end of the suction pipe 36. When air is sucked from the suction portion 24 through the suction pipe 32, the three-way valve 34, and the suction pipe 36 by the suction mechanism 38, the web W is adsorbed to the belt 22b. The belt 22b is transported in the left direction in FIG. 2 while being adsorbed by the belt 22b. One end of a suction pipe 33 is also connected to the three-way valve 34, and the other end of the suction pipe 33 is open to the atmosphere. Details of the configuration of the three-way valve 34 and the suction pipes 32, 33, and 36 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the three-way valve 34 is provided with three openings 34c, and the ends of the suction pipes 32, 33, and 36 are connected to the openings 34c, respectively. Further, the three-way valve 34 is provided with a valve body 34a that is rotatable about a shaft 34b. When the valve body 34a is at the position indicated by a solid line in FIG. As a result, air is sucked from the suction portion 24 through the suction pipe 32, the three-way valve 34 and the suction pipe 36. On the other hand, when the valve body 34a rotates from the solid line position in FIG. 12 and moves to the two-dot chain line position about the shaft 34b, the suction pipe 32 and the suction pipe 33 come into communication. Here, since the other end of the suction pipe 33 is opened to the atmosphere, the air in the suction portion 24 is also released to the atmosphere, so that the suction of the web W to the belt 22b by the suction portion 24 is stopped.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a porous plate 26 made of a thin metal plate or the like is provided on the surface of the suction portion 24 facing the web W. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, a plurality of through holes 26 a having a diameter of, for example, 10 μm are formed uniformly in the porous plate 26, and the web W is sucked by the suction portion 24. At this time, the air in the vicinity of the web W conveyed by the belt 22b of the conveyance unit 22 is sucked by the adsorption unit 24 through the through holes 26a of the porous plate 26, whereby the web W is adsorbed by the belt 22b. It is like that.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the transport unit 22 is placed on a mounting table 28. Further, the mounting table 28 is provided with a shift unit 30 for shifting the position of the belt 22b in the transport unit 22 along the width direction of the web W (that is, the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 2). By such a shift unit 30, the belt 22 b in the transport unit 22 can move along a direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 2.

  Further, in the suction conveyance device 20, a web detection unit 39 for detecting an abnormality of the web W after being conveyed by the conveyance unit 22 is located near the downstream end of the conveyance unit 22 in the conveyance direction of the web W. Is provided. Specifically, the web detection unit 39 is composed of a laser displacement meter, for example, and the web W after being transported by the transport unit 22 has a web wrinkle, slack, breakage, or other abnormality. The detection unit 39 detects such wrinkles, slack, breakage, etc. of the web W.

  Further, the processing system 10 of the present embodiment is provided with a control unit 50 that controls each component of the processing system 10, and the control unit 50 controls each component of the processing system 10. Thus, processing is performed on the web W in the processing system 10. In addition, detection information of the web W by the web detection unit 39 is sent to the control unit 50.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, in the adsorption | suction conveyance apparatus 20, by sticking a film on the back surface of the porous board 26 (namely, by providing a film between the porous board 26 and the adsorption | suction part 24), The suction region in the width direction of the web W is expanded toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W. Specifically, the through holes 26a provided evenly in the porous plate 26 are closed with a film, so that the range of the adsorption region of the web W in the porous plate 26 is regulated. Various examples of films attached to the back surface of the porous plate 26 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6, the conveyance direction of the web W is indicated by an arrow. Also, the vertical direction in FIGS. 3 to 6 is the width direction of the web W.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, two right-angled triangular films 60 are attached in the vicinity of the upstream edge of the back surface of the porous plate 26 in the web W conveyance direction. Here, the region other than the region where each film 60 is adhered on the porous plate 26 (that is, the region where the through hole 26a is not blocked by each film 60) is the adsorption region of the web W. FIG. As shown, the suction area of the web W has a sharp end on the upstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W, and the adsorption area in the width direction of the web W gradually increases toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W. To spread. As a result, the web W transported by the transport unit 22 in the suction transport device 20 moves from the central position in the width direction to the outside as the region attracted by the suction unit 24 moves to the downstream side (that is, the left side in FIG. 3). The width gradually increases toward the end, and finally, the entire width direction of the web W is sucked by the suction portion 24. As described above, since the region sucked by the suction unit 24 gradually increases from the central position toward the outside as the web W moves downstream, the web W transported by the transport unit 22 Generation of wrinkles on the web W is suppressed. That is, if such a film 60 is not provided and the entire width direction of the web W is sucked by the suction portion 24 at a time, the web W is wrinkled according to the pattern pattern of the web W. However, in the present embodiment, the region where the web W is adsorbed by the adsorbing portion 24 is gradually expanded from the center position in the width direction to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles on the web W. Will come to be.

  In addition, in order to suppress generation | occurrence | production of a wrinkle in the web W, the film stuck on the back surface of the porous board 26 is not limited to the thing as shown in FIG. If the adsorption area in the width direction of the web W can be expanded toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W, the shape of the film attached to the porous plate 26 can be changed to various ones. Can do.

  For example, a pair of films 62 as shown in FIG. 4 may be used as a film attached to the back surface of the porous plate 26. When each film 62 as shown in FIG. 4 is stuck on the porous plate 26, the region other than the region where the film 62 is stuck on the porous plate 26 (that is, the through hole 26 a is formed by each film 62. The area that is not blocked) is the adsorption area of the web W. As shown in FIG. 4, the adsorption area of such a web W has a narrow upstream end in the conveyance direction of the web W. The suction region in the width direction of the web W gradually expands toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W. As a result, the web W transported by the transport unit 22 in the suction transport device 20 moves from the central position in the width direction to the outside as the region attracted by the suction unit 24 moves to the downstream side (that is, the left side in FIG. 4). The width gradually increases toward the end, and finally, the entire width direction of the web W is sucked by the suction portion 24. In this way, even when a pair of films 62 as shown in FIG. 4 are attached to the back surface of the porous plate 26, the web W transported by the transport unit 22 is adsorbed as the web W moves downstream. Since the region attracted by the portion 24 gradually increases from the center position toward the outside, the occurrence of wrinkles on the web W is suppressed.

  Moreover, as a film stuck on the back surface of the porous plate 26, a pair of films 64 as shown in FIG. 5 may be used. When each film 64 as shown in FIG. 5 is stuck on the porous plate 26, the region other than the region where the film 64 is stuck on the porous plate 26 (that is, the through holes 26 a are formed by the respective films 64. The unsealed area) is the suction area of the web W. As shown in FIG. 5, the suction area of the web W has a sharp end at the upstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W. The suction region in the width direction of the web W gradually expands toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of W. As a result, the web W transported by the transport unit 22 in the suction transport device 20 moves from the central position in the width direction to the outside as the region attracted by the suction unit 24 moves to the downstream side (that is, the left side in FIG. 5). The width gradually increases toward the end, and finally, the entire width direction of the web W is sucked by the suction portion 24. As described above, even when a pair of films 64 as shown in FIG. 5 is attached to the back surface of the porous plate 26, the web W conveyed by the conveying unit 22 is adsorbed as the web W moves downstream. Since the region attracted by the portion 24 gradually increases from the center position toward the outside, the occurrence of wrinkles on the web W is suppressed.

  Moreover, as a film stuck on the back surface of the porous plate 26, a pair of rectangular films 66 as shown in FIG. 6 may be used. When each film 66 as shown in FIG. 6 is stuck on the porous plate 26, the region other than the region where the film 66 is stuck on the porous plate 26 (that is, the through holes 26 a are formed by the respective films 66. The area that is not blocked) is the adsorption area of the web W. As shown in FIG. 6, the adsorption area of such a web W has a narrow upstream end in the conveyance direction of the web W. On the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W, the suction region in the width direction of the web W becomes wider. Thus, when the web W transported by the transport unit 22 in the suction transport device 20 moves downstream (that is, the left side in FIG. 6), the region sucked by the suction unit 24 is directed outward from the center position in the width direction. Eventually, the entire width direction of the web W is attracted by the attracting portion 24. As described above, even when a pair of films 66 as shown in FIG. 6 are attached to the back surface of the porous plate 26, the web W transported by the transport unit 22 is adsorbed as the web W moves downstream. Since the area attracted by the portion 24 increases from the center position toward the outside, the occurrence of wrinkles on the web W is suppressed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, instead of using the suction conveyance device 20 configured as shown in FIG. 2, a suction conveyance device 20a configured as shown in FIG. 7 may be used. The suction conveyance device 20a shown in FIG. 7 is shown in FIG. 2 in that a metal plate 27 is provided between the web W and the belt 22b of the conveyance unit 22 instead of providing the porous plate 26 on the surface of the adsorption unit 24. Although different from the suction conveyance device 20, the other configuration is substantially the same as the suction conveyance device 20 shown in FIG. In the description of the suction conveyance device 20a shown in FIG. 7, the same components as those of the suction conveyance device 20 shown in FIG.

  In the suction conveyance device 20a shown in FIG. 7, a thin metal plate 27 is fixedly provided on the surface of the belt 22b of the conveyance unit 22 instead of the porous plate 26 provided on the surface of the adsorption unit 24. The metal plate 27 is sandwiched between the web W and the belt 22b. Here, unlike the porous plate 26, the metal plate 27 is not provided with a through hole. In such a suction conveyance device 20a, the metal plate 27 is provided between the web W and the belt 22b, so that the suction region in the width direction of the web W expands toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W. It has become. The configuration of such a metal plate 27 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 8, the conveyance direction of the web W is indicated by an arrow. Further, the vertical direction in FIG. 8 is the width direction of the web W.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8, two metal plates 27 each having a right triangle are provided between the web W and the belt 22b in a fixed position. Here, a region other than the region where each metal plate 27 is provided in the suction portion 24 (that is, a region where the through hole 26a is not blocked by each metal plate 27) is the suction region of the web W. FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the suction area of the web W has a sharp upstream end in the conveyance direction of the web W, and the adsorption area in the width direction of the web W increases toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W. It will gradually spread. As a result, the web W transported by the transport unit 22 in the suction transport device 20 moves from the central position in the width direction to the outer side as it is moved downstream (that is, the left side in FIG. 8). The width gradually increases toward the end, and finally, the entire width direction of the web W is sucked by the suction portion 24. As described above, since the region sucked by the suction unit 24 gradually increases from the central position toward the outside as the web W moves downstream, the web W transported by the transport unit 22 Generation of wrinkles on the web W is suppressed.

  Note that the metal plate 27 provided between the web W and the belt 22b in order to suppress the generation of wrinkles in the web W is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. The shape of the metal plate 27 provided between the web W and the belt 22b can be varied as long as the suction area in the width direction of the web W can be expanded toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W. Can be changed.

  In the present embodiment, the films 60, 62, 64, and 66 are attached to the porous plate 26 provided in the adsorption unit 24, or the metal plate 27 is disposed between the web W and the belt 22 b of the conveyance unit 22. Instead of being provided, a suction part 24m having a shape as shown in FIG. 9 may be used. In FIG. 9, the conveyance direction of the web W is indicated by an arrow. 9 is the width direction of the web W. When the suction part 24m having a shape as shown in FIG. 9 is used, the suction region in the width direction of the web W becomes wider toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W. Specifically, when the suction portion 24m having a shape as shown in FIG. 9 is used, the suction region of the web W has a sharp end at the upstream side in the transport direction of the web W, and the transport direction of the web W The suction area in the width direction of the web W gradually expands toward the downstream side. As a result, the web W transported by the transport unit 22 in the suction transport device 20 moves from the central position in the width direction to the outside as the region attracted by the suction unit 24m moves to the downstream side (that is, the left side in FIG. 9). The width gradually increases toward the end, and finally, the entire width direction of the web W is adsorbed by the adsorbing portion 24m. Thus, since the area | region attracted | sucked by the adsorption | suction part 24m becomes large gradually toward the outer side from the center position about the web W conveyed by the conveyance part 22 as the said web W moves downstream, such a thing. Generation of wrinkles on the web W is suppressed.

  In addition, the adsorption | suction part 24m which suppresses generation | occurrence | production of a wrinkle in the web W is not limited to the thing as shown in FIG. If the suction region in the width direction of the web W can be expanded toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W, the shape of the suction portion 24m can be changed to various shapes.

  Further, as another configuration of the suction section in the present embodiment, a suction section 24n divided into a plurality of air chambers 24a as shown in FIG. 10 may be used. In addition, the conveyance direction of the web W is shown by the arrow in FIG. Further, the vertical direction in FIG. 10 is the width direction of the web W. In such an adsorbing part 24n, whether or not the web W is adsorbed for each air chamber 24a can be set for each air chamber 24a. Here, as shown in FIG. 10, whether or not the web W is adsorbed is set for each air chamber 24 a so that the adsorbing region in the width direction of the web W expands toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W. In this case (specifically, in FIG. 10, the air chamber 24a marked with “◯” is adsorbed to the web W, and the air chamber 24a marked “x” is adsorbed to the web W. When not performed), the suction region in the width direction of the web W becomes wider toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, when it is set whether or not the web W is to be suctioned for each air chamber 24a of the suction portion 24n, the suction region of the web W is upstream in the conveyance direction of the web W. The side end portion becomes narrow, and the suction region in the width direction of the web W gradually expands toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W. As a result, the web W transported by the transport unit 22 in the suction transport device 20 moves from the central position in the width direction to the outside as the region attracted by the suction unit 24n moves downstream (that is, the left side in FIG. 10). The width gradually increases toward the end, and finally, the entire width direction of the web W is adsorbed by the adsorbing portion 24n. Thus, since the area | region attracted | sucked by the adsorption | suction part 24n becomes large gradually toward the outer side from the center position about the web W conveyed by the conveyance part 22 as the said web W moves downstream, such a thing. Generation of wrinkles on the web W is suppressed.

  Next, a web W processing method by the processing system 10 having the configuration shown in FIG. 1 and the like will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In addition, the processing method of the web W by the processing system 10 shown below is performed when the control part 50 controls each structural member of the said processing system 10. FIG.

  First, the unwinding roll 12 is activated, and the web W is unwound from the unwinding roll 12 (STEP 1). Further, the power of the nip roll conveying system is turned on, and the nip rolls 14, 16, and 18 are driven to rotate (STEP 2). As a result, the leading end portion of the web W unwound from the unwinding roll 12 is transported by the nip rolls 14, 16, 18 (that is, so-called pass-through of the web W is performed). When the leading end portion of the web W unwound from the unwinding roll 12 is conveyed by the nip rolls 14, 16, and 18, the nip roll conveying system is temporarily stopped (STEP 3). Thereafter, the processing device 40 is activated and the power of the conveyor transport system is turned on, so that the web W is transported by the suction transport device 20 (STEP 4). As a result, processing such as printing can be performed on the web W. During the conveyance of the web W by the suction conveyance device 20, the upper nip rolls 16 and 18 in FIG. 1 move away from the lower nip rolls 16 and 18, respectively. W is not transported. Here, by moving the upper nip rolls 16 and 18 upward in FIG. 1 so as to be separated from the lower nip rolls 16 and 18, respectively, the upper nip rolls 16 and 18 are separated from the web W. It becomes possible to prevent the contents of the processing applied to the surface of the web W by the processing device 40 from being soiled by the nip rolls 16 and 18. Further, during the conveyance of the web W by the suction conveyance device 20, the tension of the web W unwound from the unwinding roll 12 by the pair of nip rolls 14 is adjusted.

  When the web W is transported by the suction conveyance device 20 and the processing is performed on the web W by the processing device 40, is an abnormality occurring in the web W by the web detection unit 39 of the suction conveyance device 20? Whether or not is detected is determined (STEP 5). Here, when an abnormality such as wrinkles, sagging, or bending has occurred in the web W after being transported by the transporting section 22, the web detecting section 39 detects such wrinkles, sagging, folding, or the like of the web W. Then (“YES” in STEP 5), the cause of the abnormality is determined in the control unit 50 (STEP 6), and processing for eliminating the abnormality is performed (STEP 7). Specifically, the web detection unit 39 detects that the web W after being transported by the belt 22b while being attracted to the belt 22b of the transport unit 22 by the suction unit 24 is wrinkled, slackened, broken, or the like. Then, in the three-way valve 34, the valve body 34a is switched from the solid line position in FIG. 12 to the two-dot chain line position, whereby the suction pipe 32 and the suction pipe 33 are brought into communication. As described above, since the other end of the suction pipe 33 is opened to the atmosphere, the air in the suction unit 24 is also released to the atmosphere, so that the suction of the web W by the suction unit 24 to the belt 22b is stopped. Become. As a result, abnormalities such as wrinkles, sagging and creases that have occurred in the web W are eliminated. Thereafter, the valve body 34a in the three-way valve 34 is immediately switched from the two-dot chain line position in FIG. 12 to the solid line position, whereby the suction pipe 32 and the suction pipe 36 are brought into communication with each other. Air is sucked again. Accordingly, the suction of the web W to the belt 22b by the suction unit 24 is performed again, and thus the transport of the web W by the suction transport device 20 is resumed. In the present embodiment, the time for which the valve element 34a is switched in the three-way valve 34 so that the air in the adsorption unit 24 is released to the atmosphere by the suction pipe 33 is a preset time (for example, a short time of 0.12 seconds or less). It has become. That is, in the three-way valve 34, as soon as a preset time has elapsed after the valve element 34a is switched from the solid line position in FIG. 12 to the two-dot chain line position, the valve element 34a is moved from the two-dot chain line position in FIG. By switching to the position, it is possible to shorten the time during which the conveyance of the web W by the suction conveyance device 20 is interrupted as much as possible while reliably eliminating abnormalities such as wrinkles, sagging, and creases generated in the web W. .

  Further, in the suction conveyance device 20 according to the present embodiment, the suction of the web W to the belt 22b by the suction unit 24 is stopped every time a preset predetermined period of time elapses, and a preset time (for example, , After the elapse of a short time of 0.12 seconds or less), the suction of the web W to the belt 22b by the suction portion 24 may be resumed. In this way, the suction of the web W to the belt 22b by the suction portion 24 is periodically stopped, and the air in the suction portion 24 is periodically released to the atmosphere, so that the web W has abnormalities such as wrinkles, sagging, and bending. Even when this occurs, such an abnormality can be eliminated, and the web W can be stably conveyed by the suction conveyance device 20.

  In the suction conveyance device 20 of the processing system 10 according to the present embodiment, an EPC (not shown) for detecting meandering of the web W conveyed by the conveyance unit 22 as a web detection unit for detecting an abnormality of the web W. A displacement meter (meander detection unit) is provided. When the meandering of the web W is detected by the EPC displacement meter, if there is a margin for moving the web W in the width direction (so-called side rail margin), the position of the belt 22b in the transport unit 22 is shifted by the shift unit 30. Is shifted along the width direction of the web W (that is, the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 2), and thereby the web W is shifted to a predetermined position, thereby eliminating the meandering of the web W. Here, the shift operation of the belt 22b by the shift unit 30 may be performed in small increments. On the other hand, when the meandering of the web W is detected by the EPC displacement meter, if there is no allowance (side rail margin) for moving the web W in the width direction, first, the valve element 34a in the three-way valve 34 is shown in FIG. By switching from the solid line position to the two-dot chain line position, suction of the web W to the belt 22b by the suction part 24 is stopped, and then the position of the belt 22b in the transport part 22 is shifted to the origin position by the shift part 30. Thereafter, in the three-way valve 34, the suction of the web W to the belt 22b by the suction portion 24 is resumed by switching the valve element 34a from the two-dot chain line position in FIG. 12 to the solid line position, and then the web W reaches a predetermined position. Thus, the position of the belt 22b in the transport unit 22 is shifted along the width direction of the web W by the shift unit 30. This eliminates the meandering of the web W.

  Further, in the suction conveyance device 20 of the processing system 10 according to the present embodiment, an appearance inspection is performed to determine whether or not a foreign object is caught between the web W and the belt 22b of the conveyance unit 22. Good. Such an appearance inspection may be performed visually by an operator, or may be performed by a camera or the like provided on the side of the belt 22b of the transport unit 22. When it is detected in the suction conveyance device 20 that foreign matter is caught between the web W and the belt 22b of the conveyance unit 22, first, in the three-way valve 34, the valve element 34a is moved from the solid line position in FIG. By switching to the position, the suction of the web W to the belt 22b by the suction unit 24 is stopped, and then the driving of the belt 22b of the transport unit 22 is stopped. Thereafter, the foreign matter existing between the web W and the belt 22b of the transport unit 22 is removed by cleaning the belt 22b of the transport unit 22. When the foreign matter is removed, the driving of the belt 22b of the transport unit 22 is resumed and the suction of the web W to the belt 22b by the suction unit 24 is resumed.

  Further, in the suction conveyance device 20 of the processing system 10 according to the present embodiment, an inspection may be performed as to whether or not there is an abnormality in the numerical value of the web detection unit 39 including a laser displacement meter or the like. Such an inspection may be performed visually by an operator, or when the numerical value of the web detection unit 39 is abnormal, an alarm may be generated from the web detection unit 39. When it is detected that the numerical value of the web detection unit 39 is abnormal, first, in the three-way valve 34, the valve body 34a is switched from the solid line position in FIG. The suction to the belt 22b is stopped after a predetermined time (for example, a short time of 0.12 seconds or less) has elapsed. Thereafter, the web detection unit 39 performs zero point reset. In this way, even when the numerical value of the web detection unit 39 is abnormal, the abnormality of the web detection unit 39 can be resolved.

  In the processing system 10 according to the present embodiment, a tension meter (not shown) for detecting the tension of the web W may be provided as a web detection unit for detecting an abnormality of the web W. In this case, when there is an abnormality in the tension of the web W detected by the tensiometer, the operator can visually check the numerical value of the control panel (not shown) of the processing system 10 or can generate an alarm from the control panel. Will be emitted. When it is detected that the tension of the web W is abnormal, the relative speed of the web W conveyed by the conveyance unit 22 in the suction conveyance device 20 with respect to the speed of the web W unwound from the unwinding roll 12. By adjusting the tension, the tension of the web W is returned to an appropriate value. In this way, even when there is an abnormality in the tension of the web W, the abnormality in the tension of the web W can be resolved.

  Next, an operation for ending processing on the web W in the processing system 10 will be described. When the processing of the web W by the processing apparatus 40 is to be terminated (“YES” in STEP 8), first, the detection system (specifically, for example, the web detection unit 39) of the suction conveyance apparatus 20 is turned off (STEP 9). ). Next, conveyance of the web W by the conveyance part 22 of the adsorption conveyance apparatus 20 is complete | finished (STEP10). Further, suction on the conveyor is stopped in the suction conveyance device 20 (STEP 11). Specifically, the suction unit 24 is prevented from attracting the web W to the belt 22b by stopping the suction mechanism 38 such as a blower. Thereafter, the unwinding operation of the web W by the unwinding roll 12 is stopped (STEP 12). Moreover, the processing apparatus 40 is stopped. Finally, the entire power supply of the processing system 10 is turned off (STEP 13). In this way, the processing for the web W in the processing system 10 is completely completed.

  According to the suction conveyance device 20 of the present embodiment configured as described above and the suction conveyance method using such a suction conveyance device 20, an abnormality has occurred in the web W conveyed by the conveyance unit 22. When detected by the web detection unit 39, the suction of the web W to the transport unit 22 (specifically, the belt 22b) by the suction unit 24 is stopped, and a predetermined time (for example, 0.12) is set. Since the suction of the web W to the transport unit 22 by the suction unit 24 is resumed after a short time (second or less) has elapsed, an abnormality such as wrinkles has occurred in the web W transported by the transport unit 22 Even in this case, the abnormality of the web W can be eliminated without stopping the conveyance of the web W by the conveyance unit 22, and thus the abnormality of the web W can be quickly eliminated.

  Further, in the suction conveyance device 20 of the present embodiment, as described above, the web detection unit 39 detects this abnormality when an abnormality such as wrinkles, sagging, breakage, or the like has occurred in the web W during conveyance. It is like that. Further, an EPC displacement meter (not shown) for detecting meandering of the web W conveyed by the conveyance unit 22 is provided as a web detection unit for detecting an abnormality of the web W during conveyance. When W is meandering, this abnormality is detected by the EPC displacement meter. Further, when a tension meter for detecting the tension of the web W is provided as a web detection unit for detecting an abnormality of the web W during conveyance, this abnormality is detected when the tension of the web W is abnormal. Is detected by the tensiometer.

  Further, in the suction conveyance device 20 of the present embodiment, as described above, one end of the suction pipe 32 is connected to the suction portion 24, and the three-way valve 34 is connected to the other end of the suction pipe 32. A suction mechanism 38 is provided at one opening 34c (first opening) in the three-way valve 34, and another opening 34c (second opening) is open to the atmosphere, so that the transport unit 22, when the web detection unit 39 detects that an abnormality has occurred in the web W conveyed by the valve 22, the valve body 34 a of the three-way valve 34 is switched so that the suction unit 24 and the second opening communicate with each other. As a result, the gas (specifically, air) in the adsorption unit 24 is opened to the atmosphere, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the valve body 34a of the three-way valve 34 is switched again, so that the adsorption unit 24 and the first The opening of the So that the gas is sucked again from the adsorption unit 24 by the suction mechanism 38. In this case, the time during which the suction of the web W to the transport unit 22 (specifically, the belt 22b) by the suction unit 24 is stopped can be shortened as much as possible. In more detail, when the suction of the web W to the transport unit 22 by the suction unit 24 is temporarily stopped by switching the suction mechanism 38 on and off, the suction mechanism 38 is switched from the on state to the off state. Although it takes a certain amount of time from the OFF state to the ON state, the suction of the web W to the transport unit 22 by the suction unit 24 is temporarily stopped by switching the valve body 34a of the three-way valve 34. The suction of the web W by the suction part 24 can be switched instantaneously.

  Moreover, in the suction conveyance apparatus 20 of this Embodiment, as mentioned above, the web W conveyed by the conveyance part 22 meanders as a web detection part for detecting the abnormality of the web W at the time of conveyance. An EPC displacement meter (meander detection unit) for detecting whether or not is provided is provided. When the EPC displacement meter detects that the web W transported by the transport unit 22 is meandering, the position of the transport unit 22 (specifically, the belt 22b) in the width direction of the web W is determined. By shifting, the web W is moved in the width direction. In this case, the meandering of the web W can be eliminated by shifting the web W to a predetermined position in the width direction. At this time, when it is detected by the EPC displacement meter that the web W transported by the transport unit 22 is meandering, if there is no room to move the web W in the width direction, the suction unit 24 After the suction of the web W to the transport unit 22 is stopped, the position of the transport unit 22 in the width direction of the web W is shifted to the origin position, and then the suction of the web W to the transport unit 22 by the suction unit 24 is performed. After restarting, the position of the conveyance unit 22 in the width direction of the web W is shifted. As described above, even when there is no room for moving the web W in the width direction, the position of the transport unit 22 in the width direction of the web W is temporarily shifted to the origin position to make room for moving the web W in the width direction. Thus, the meandering of the web W can be eliminated by shifting the web W to a predetermined position in the width direction.

  Further, in the suction conveyance device 20 of the present embodiment, as described above, the suction of the web W to the conveyance unit 22 by the adsorption unit 24 is stopped every time a predetermined cycle time set in advance elapses. Since the suction of the web W to the conveyance unit 22 by the suction unit 24 is resumed after a predetermined time has elapsed, even if an abnormality such as wrinkles occurs in the web W, such an abnormality Therefore, the web W can be stably conveyed.

  In this case, the valve body 34a of the three-way valve 34 is switched every time a predetermined cycle time set in advance passes, and the suction portion 24 and the second opening portion communicate with each other. The gas (specifically, air) is released to the atmosphere, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the valve body 34a of the three-way valve 34 is switched again, and the adsorption portion 24 and the first opening portion communicate with each other. As a result, the gas is again sucked from the suction portion 24 by the suction mechanism 38. In this case, the time during which the suction of the web W to the transport unit 22 (specifically, the belt 22b) by the suction unit 24 is stopped can be shortened as much as possible.

  Note that the processing system according to the present embodiment and the web W processing method using such a processing system are not limited to the above-described aspects, and various modifications can be made.

  For example, a roll-to-roll processing system 10a as shown in FIG. 14 may be used as the processing system according to the present embodiment. In such a processing system 10 a, the belt-like web W that has been subjected to processing such as printing by the processing device 40 is wound up by the winding roll 13. Even in such a roll-to-roll processing system 10a, as in the processing system 10 as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the suction conveyance apparatus 20 moves in the width direction of the web W toward the downstream side in the conveyance direction of the web W. The adsorption area by the adsorption part 24 is expanded. Thus, when the web W is attracted to the transport unit 22 (specifically, the belt 22b) by the suction unit 24, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of abnormality such as wrinkles in the web W.
