Description

A method, apparatus and system for making a book-shaped passport, value or security document and book-type passport, value or security document

Description

The invention relates to a method, an apparatus and a system for producing a book-shaped card, value or security document and a book-shaped card, value or security document. Book-shaped passport, value or security documents, such as passports, consist of a cover, and passbook block protected by the cover, which has personal and / or document-specific information. The passbook block has several double pages as well as a data card. The data card is, for example, a plastic or paper-based card on which personal and / or document-specific information such as a passport photograph, name or address of the user or an ID number are applied, in particular also in machine-readable form. The double pages may contain further personal and / or document-specific information or be designed, for example, as visa pages for receiving visa stamps. The badge, value or security document, in particular the data card, can have a chip on which personal and / or document-specific information is stored.

At one edge of the data card a flexible tab is provided. The tab is sewn along a seam with the double pages and a cover sheet enclosing the double pages and the data card to the passbook block. To protect the seam usually a Fälzelband is provided along the seam.

Book-shaped identity, value or security documents of this type are usually produced by the passbook block is assembled and sewn. Subsequently, the passbook block is glued to the cover and folded the resulting passbook blank.

The object of the invention is to provide a method, a device and a system which allow an improved production of a book-shaped card, value or security document. The object of the invention is furthermore to provide a book-shaped identification, value or security document.

The objects underlying the invention are achieved by the features of the independent claims. Embodiments of the invention are indicated in the dependent claims. Embodiments of the invention are particularly advantageous, since an individual production of a passport, value or security document can take place. In the gluing and folding device, the passbook block can be equipped with an individually selected cover to be glued. Subsequently, the resulting passport blank is cut to a desired format. Both the selection of the binding as well as the desired format can be selected individually for the respective identification, value or security document, so that it is possible to produce various identification, value or security documents. The cover and passbook block or meadow passport blank are produced with a slight oversize and only then cut to the desired format. As a result, manufacturing tolerances can be compensated. Furthermore, this method of manufacture has the advantage that an adhesive layer leaked laterally between the cover and passbook block can be removed. If pages of the badge, value or security document are glued together by the leaked adhesive layer at the edges, this edge can be removed together with the leaked adhesive layer. The length and width of the passbook blank is preferably chosen such that a sufficiently wide projection can be removed at the free edges.

In the text which follows, a "document of identification, value or security" is understood to mean a paper and / or plastic-based document on which person-specific and / or document-specific information is optically readable, which identifies the user or the document, for example for release This includes, for example, identity documents, in particular passports, identity cards, visas and driver's licenses, vehicle registration documents, vehicle registration documents, company ID cards, health cards or other ID documents as well as consignment notes or other proofs of entitlement The document may comprise a chip or other electronic components, in particular for the storage of person-specific and / or document-specific information.

In the following, a "data card" is a paper-based or plastic-based one arranged in a book block of a passport, value or security document Map on which person-specific and / or document-specific information optically readable are applied, which allows identification of the user or the document, for example, for the release and use of certain services or functions. The data card may have a chip or other electronic components, in particular for the storage of person-specific and / or document-specific information.

According to embodiments of the invention, a method is provided for producing a book-shaped identity, value or security document, wherein the identification, value or security document comprises a cover and a passbook block comprising a data card, several double pages, a cover sheet and a false tape. The data card has a flexible tab connected to the data card along an edge, with the flexible tab, the double pages, the leader sheet, and the selvedge data card stitched together with a seam. The cover is glued with an inner surface with an outer side of the pre-sheet, wherein the cover and passbook block are folded and then glued together. The passbook blank is produced in a gluing and folding device by gluing the passbook block and the cover together to form a passbook blank and folding the passbook blank. The passbook blank is occasionally transported to a finishing device after folding and gluing by means of a transport device which has a holding unit (in particular a gripper) provided on a multi-axially mounted gripping arm. In the finishing device, the passbook blank is processed by the following steps:

Identifying the back of the passbook blank,

- Aligning the passbook blank, and

Editing the free edges of the passport blank, wherein the passport blank is tailored to a defined format of a book-shaped passport, value or security document (in particular a passport book). The cutting is preferably carried out by means of a milling process. Such a method has the advantage that the passbook blank is only slightly loaded. In a standing method, for example, by acting on the cutting edge forces a clearer higher burden of passport book. By selecting a material-removing process, the load can be significantly reduced.

The passbook blank, in particular the data card, may have alignment markings for aligning the passbook blank. The alignment of the passbook blank includes, for example, detecting the registration marks and aligning in response to these alignment marks. The alignment marks can be used to ensure that the badge, value or security document has a defined orientation. In particular, the orientation can be effected as a function of the data card, so that it can be ensured, for example, that a machine-readable zone provided on the data card always has the same orientation in the finished identification, value or security document, and is thus positioned such that it is machine-based can be read out.

The passbook blank and / or the data card can also have an identification feature. The identification feature is detected and the defined format determined in dependence on the detected identification feature. Thus, ID, value or security documents of various formats can also be made on a device. Each identity, value or security document can be customized and tailored to an individual format.

The passbook blank is fixed, for example, by a gripper, wherein the gripper engages around the passbook blank from the front and the back, wherein the passbook blank is kept in a closed state of passport blank, wherein the passport blank protrudes beyond the gripper at the free edges by a defined amount , To edit the free edges of passport blank by the gripper to the milling device and / or the milling device to the Passbook blank to be moved. The gripper ensures easy editing of the edges, since the passbook blank can be moved by the gripper relative to the milling device. In addition, the passbook blank is kept closed so as to ensure that the entire passport blank is cut to a uniform format. The gripper can be designed so that it serves as a stop, guide, alignment mark or template for the milling device. In this embodiment, the passbook blank is aligned prior to loading in the gripper. Alternatively, the alignment can be carried out after inserting the passbook blank in the gripper, if the gripper is designed so that circumferentially a sufficiently larger projection of the passbook blank is ensured via the gripper.

The method may optionally include the following steps: providing the passbook block,

- providing the cover,

- Providing an adhesive layer, in particular an adhesive tape, wherein the adhesive layer is applied to a carrier film, wherein the adhesive layer has an activation temperature at which the adhesive layer develops adhesive properties and a curing temperature, wherein the

Crosslinked and cured adhesive layer, wherein the curing temperature is higher than the activation temperature,

Heating the adhesive layer, in particular to the activation temperature,

Applying the adhesive layer on the inside of the cover, wherein the adhesive layer adheres to the inside of the cover, and releasing the

Adhesive layer of the carrier film,

Bonding the cover and the passbook block to a passbook blank, wherein the outside of the cover sheet is applied to the inside of the cover, wherein the adhesive layer of the adhesive layer pre-fixes the inside of the cover on the outside of the cover sheet,

- folding the passbook blank, - then heating the adhesive layer to the curing temperature,

- Fix the passbook blank in the folded state until the adhesive layer is cured and a fabric and / or positive connection between the cover and cover sheet is made.

An "adhesive layer" is understood as meaning a layer of a material which has adhesive properties at a first temperature, the activation temperature, and which crosslinks or hardens after heating to a second temperature, the curing temperature, which is above the first temperature. The adhesive layer can be, for example, what are known as thermo or hotmelt adhesives, which soften above a defined temperature and harden by subsequent cooling or, alternatively, chemically curing adhesives can be used. Alternatively, the two-component polyurethane adhesives known from the bookbinding industry can be used if they cure or crosslink above the curing temperature.

The final fixing of the cover in folded or closed state, the identification, value or security document is applied in this closed position. Usually, the cover is fixed before folding on the cover page of the passbook block. If the identification, value or security document is subsequently folded, tensions arise between the cover and the leaflet which lead to the identification, value or security document being set up. The final fixation after collapsing avoids these stresses so that the badge, security or security document is kept closed. Prefixing prevents shifting of the passbook block during the folding operation so that the identification, value or security documents can be produced with high accuracy. The adhesive layer is supplied, for example, on the carrier film as a continuous material, wherein the width of the adhesive layer corresponds to a required width corresponding to the carrier film substantially the width of the cover, and wherein the adhesive layer to a required before heating to the activation temperature on the support film Length is cut. This ensures that the adhesive layer has the dimensions required for the respective identification, value or security document. In particular, the identification, value or security document can be reacted by cutting to different dimensions immediately before the adhesive is applied, so that identification, value or security documents with different dimensions can be produced.

Preferably, the carrier film is guided with the adhesive layer in a transport direction on a flat support, wherein the application of the adhesive layer on the inside of the cover on the support takes place, wherein the length of the support substantially equal to the length of the required length of the adhesive layer, and wherein the Pad at its front in the transport direction and rear edge rounded edges, wherein the carrier film is guided over the rounded edges. Due to the rounded edges of the support, the carrier film before and behind the portion carrying the applied adhesive layer, pulled down so that only the trimmed adhesive layer is on the support and come in contact with the cover in contact and adhere to this can. In particular, if the length of the adhesive layer is slightly shorter than the length of the cover, this offers the advantage that the adhesive layer immediately following the carrier foil, which is separated in particular only by a cut from the adhesive layer to be applied, can not adhere to the cover. If the adhesive layer also has a residual stiffness, the front and rear edges guided over the edges can detach from the carrier film, so that the adhesive layer can be pulled off from the carrier film more easily.

In this method, a portion of the carrier film can be performed with the adhesive layer on the support until a front in the transport direction edge of Adhesive layer is located on the front edge of the support in the transport direction. Subsequently, at the rear edge in the transport direction, the cutting of the adhesive layer to the required length can take place. This can ensure that the adhesive layer always has the required length and no immediately following adhesive layer can rest on the support.

Preferably, the required width of the adhesive layer is equal to or less than the width of the cover and / or the width of the passbook block, and the required length of the adhesive layer is equal to or less than the length of the cover and / or passport block length. After heating the adhesive layer, this can deform plastically. When folding the passbook and fixing in the folded state, a defined pressure is exerted on this, whereby the adhesive layer between the cover sheet and cover is distributed and can leak slightly at the edges. This ensures that the pre-sheet and the cover are glued together flat. The length and the width of the adhesive layer are chosen so that the adhesive layer emerges only marginally at the edges, so as to prevent contamination of the identification, value or security document or the device for producing the identification, value or security document or sticking the passport together - to prevent blocks.

The heating to the activation temperature can be carried out before guiding the carrier film with the adhesive layer on the support. As a result, the production time could be shortened since, after being guided onto the support, the adhesive layer can be applied directly to the inside of the cover.

Alternatively, the heating to the activation temperature can also be effected on the support, wherein the support can be used to uniformly heat the adhesive layer. In particular, the support may be heated to maintain the temperature of the heated adhesive layer. Folding the passbook blank can be done, for example, with the following steps:

- introducing a folding edge in the region of the seam,

- Inserting the Passbuchrohlings between two pairs and arranged in parallel, spaced rollers by a stamp, the stamp engages the fold edge and pushes the passbook blank with the outside of the cover first between the rollers.

Between the paired rollers, a gap is formed, in which the passbook blank is inserted with the outside of the cover. The rollers press the halves of the passbook blank on both sides of the stamp, which folds the passbook blank. The previous introduction of the folding edge has the advantage that the folding edge is defined, so that it is ensured that the passbook blank is folded in half along the seam. It can be provided in the insertion direction a plurality of successively arranged pairs of rollers. The distance between the rollers of the roller pairs can decrease in the insertion direction, so that the gap between the rollers tapers in the direction of insertion. As a result, the folding process can be simplified. In order to further improve the folding process, after the introduction of the folding edge, a first half of the book can be prefolded relative to a second half of the book about the folded edge. As a result, the folding edge is additionally defined, so that a shifting of the passbook blank is prevented during the folding process. For this purpose, the second half of the passbook blank can be fixed, for example, between the punch and a jaw, with the punch and the jaws ending in the region of the folding edge. Subsequently, the protruding over the punch first half is folded at right angles, for example, by a transversely to the insertion direction movable second punch. For example, the heating of the adhesive layer to the curing temperature and the fixing of the passbook blank in the folded state between a plurality of pairs and arranged in parallel, spaced rollers. Through the It is possible to fix the passbook blank in the collapsed state while the passbook blank is transported further, for example to a subsequent processing station. The distance of the rollers of a pair of rollers is chosen so that a desired pressure is exerted on the passbook blank.

Optionally, after the adhesive layer has been applied to the inside of the insert, a visual check can be made as to whether the adhesive layer has been applied flat on the cover. Further processing takes place only when the adhesive layer is applied over the entire surface. If the cover is not completely covered with the adhesive layer, the cover is sorted out and a new cover is provided on which an adhesive layer is again applied. This avoids identification, value or security documents being made in which the cover can not be completely glued to the passbook block.

Optionally, after fixing the passbook blank in the folded state after the adhesive layer has cured and a material and / or positive connection between cover and cover sheet is made, a mechanical processing of the side edges of passport blank, in particular a blank of the free edges to a defined format of the identity card, value or security document.

Optionally, after the curing of the adhesive layer, a mechanical processing of the side edges of the passbook blank can take place, in particular a section of the free edges to a defined format of the identification, value or security document.

Optionally, the method may include the following steps:

Providing the data card,

Attaching the flexible tab to an edge of the data card, in particular with an ultrasonic welding method,

- providing the double pages and the pre-sheet, - compilation of the data card, the double pages and the pre-sheet,

- Attaching the Fälzelbandes on the outside of the pre-sheet, and

- Sewing the flap, the double pages, the front page and the Fälzelbandes along a seam to a passbook block.

Through these steps, the passbook block is assembled immediately before bonding the cover page with the cover. So there is an individual compilation of each card, value or security document.

The identity card, value or security document, in particular the data card, can have a chip with a secure memory area, with personal and / or document-specific data being stored in the secure memory area of the chip. Preferably, the storage of the personal and / or document-specific data takes place after the completion of the identification, value or security document, so that it is ensured that the data is not stored on a faulty identity card, value or security document. For this purpose, after the identification, value or security document has been produced and prior to the storage of the data, a quality control of the identification, value or security document takes place. The data is only saved on the badge, value or security document if the badge, value or security document has passed the quality control.

The folding unit 704 has a plurality of rollers 708, wherein the rollers 708 are arranged in pairs and parallel to each other. In an insertion direction 710 several of these roller pairs 712 are arranged one behind the other. Between the rollers 708 of the roller pairs 712, a slot 714 extending in the direction of insertion 710 is formed.

Below the pairs of rollers 712, a holding device 716 is provided for a passbook blank 128 consisting of the passbook block 104 and the cover 102 prefixed to the passbook block 104. The holding device 716 is formed by a jaw 718 and a punch 720, wherein the jaw 718 can be pressed laterally against the punch 720. The punch is flat and positioned so that it can be inserted in the insertion direction 710 in the gap 714 between the rollers 708. Above the jaw 718, a second punch 722 is provided, which can be moved transversely to the insertion direction 710. The second punch 722 may be formed by rollers.

Furthermore, a further punch 724 is provided (FIG. 5), which is provided on the support 702 and can introduce a folded edge 728 (FIG. 9 c) into the passbook blank 128. On the support 702 further comprises a transport device is provided, which can pass the passbook blank 128 of the holding device 716.

Behind the folding unit 704, a fixing unit 706 is provided, which can fix the passbook blank 128 in a folded state, as explained below, and which has a heater 726 for heating the adhesive layer 612 to the curing temperature. The fixing device 706 is formed by a plurality of roller pairs 712. The finishing device 800 has a holding device 802 for fixing the passbook blank, wherein the passbook blank 128 is fixed so that the free edges of the passbook blank 128 remain free. As free edges, the edges adjacent to the spine as well as the edge of the passport blank 128 or the identification, value or security document 100 opposite the spine are considered (FIG. 8). The holding device 802 is formed for example by two opposing gripping elements 804, 806, which can clamp the passbook blank 128. In particular, the gripping elements can grip the passbook blank 128 such that the free edges project beyond the edges of the gripping elements 804, 806. The holding device 802 can also be formed by a holding unit of the holding and transport device 900 or by a holding receptacle of the holding and transport device 1000.

Furthermore, an alignment device 810 is provided in order to insert the passbook blank 128 into the holding device 802 in a defined orientation. For example, the alignment device 810 for detecting an alignment feature is formed on the passbook blank 128.

The finisher further includes an edger 808 that can process the free edges of the passbook blank 128. Preferably, the edge processing device 808 includes a milling unit 812. Further, a controller 814 is provided, which is connected to the holding device 802, the aligning device 810 and the edge processing device 808. To produce a passport, value or security document 100, an adhesive layer 612 is first applied to a cover 102. For this purpose, a cover 102 is produced according to one for the identity, value or security document. put bill of material removed by the holding and transporting device 900 from the magazine 604.

On the gluing unit 602, a portion of the carrier film with an adhesive layer 612 in the transporting direction 608 is moved onto the support 606 by the transport device 624 until the front edge of the adhesive layer 612 is in the area of the front edge 614 of the support 606. The adhesive layer 612 has an activation temperature at which the adhesive layer 612 develops adhesive properties and a curing temperature at which the adhesive layer 612 cross-links and cures, the curing temperature being higher than the activation temperature (FIG. 6 and FIG. 5).

Subsequently, the adhesive layer 612 is severed by the cutting device 628 at the rear edge 616 of the support 606, the adhesive layer 612 having, after severing, the length required for the cover 102, which is preferably slightly shorter than the length of the cover 102 (FIG. 9a). ,

The carrier film 610 is held taut, so that this applies to the rounded edges of the edges 614, 616. The subsequent section of the adhesive layer 612 is thereby slightly withdrawn, so that only the cut-off section of the adhesive layer 612 is located on the support 606. If the adhesive layer has a defined rigidity, protruding regions can also detach from the carrier film 610 via the edges 614, 616. At the same time, the adhesive layer 612 is heated by the heating device 626 to an activation temperature.

Subsequently, the selected and provided cover 102 is received by the holding and transporting device 900 and placed on the adhesive layer 612, wherein the adhesive layer 612 adheres to the inside 126 of the cover. Subsequently, the cover is lifted off the carrier film 610, the adhesive layer 612 being detached from the carrier film 610 (FIG. 9b). In a next process step, the cover 102 is supplied with the adhesive layer 612 of a recognition device 630 and checked by this, whether the adhesive layer 612 is applied over the entire surface of the inside 126 of the cover 102.

If the inside 126 of the cover 102 completely covered with the adhesive layer 612, the cover 102 is placed with the inside 126, so the adhesive layer 612 on the passbook block 104 and on the outside 124 of the pre-sheet 1 10, in advance with the outside 124 of the pre-sheet 1 10 was placed on top of the support 702 (Figure 9c).

Subsequently or already when placing the cover 102, the cover 102 and the passbook block 104 are aligned relative to each other. Since the adhesive layer 612 has cooled after being bonded to the cover 102, it does not adhere to the release sheet 110, so that alignment of the cover 102 and the passbook block 104 is possible.

Subsequently, the passbook blank 128 formed from the cover 102 and the passbook block 104 prefixed to the cover 102 is folded. First, a folding edge 728 is introduced along the seam 14 on the support 702 by the punch 724. The fold edge 728 is formed by embossing the passbook blank 128 in the region of the seam 1 14 and divides the passbook blank 128 into a first and a second book half 730, 732. Subsequently, the passbook blank 128 is moved into the holding device 716, the second book half 732 between the jaw 718 and the punch 720 is fixed (Figure 9d). The first half of the book 730 protrudes from the holding device 716. The cover 102 rests with the outside on the jaw 718. Subsequently, the second punch 722 is displaced transversely to the direction of insertion, so that it rests against the first half of the book 730 and at a further movement This relative to the second half of the book 732 folded substantially at right angles (Figure 9e).

After the second punch 722 has been withdrawn, the first punch 720 is moved with the passport blank 128 held thereon in the insertion direction between the rollers 708, wherein the cover 102 comes into contact with the roller 708. In a further movement of the punch 720 in the insertion direction 710, the book halves 730, 732 are folded relative to each other by the rollers 708 and laterally pressed against the punch 720 (Figure 9f).

After folding the passbook blank 128, the punch 720 is retracted and the folded passbook blank 128 is moved by the rollers 708 into the fixing unit 706. In this, the adhesive layer 612 is heated by the heater 726 to the curing temperature. As a result of the heating and the subsequent cooling, the adhesive layer 612 crosslinks and hardens, so that the cover 102 and the passbook block 104 are bonded to one another in a material-locking manner (FIG. 9g).

After curing and crosslinking of the adhesive layer 612, the passbook blank 128 can be removed from the fixing unit 706 and further processed.

Upon heating of the adhesive layer 612, it may leak through the forces acting on the passbook blank 128 at the free edges between the cover 102 and the passbook block 104. Distributing the adhesive layer 612 by these forces is desirable to effect uniform distribution of the adhesive layer 612.

In order to prevent excessive leakage of the adhesive layer 612, the length and width of the adhesive layer 612 is selected to be slightly smaller than the length and width of the cover 102 and the passbook block 104, respectively.

After the passbook blank 128 has been glued and folded, the free edges of the passbook blank 128 are processed, with the passbook blank 128 being pressed onto the passbook blank 128. Wished format is cut. In this process, protruding residues of the adhesive layer 612 can be removed. As the free edges of passport blank 128 are machined, margins of the sides adhered by adhesive layer 612 may also be removed.

The passbook blank 128 is inserted and aligned in the folded state in the finishing device 800.

The detection device (alignment device) 810 can detect an alignment mark provided on the passbook blank 128, in particular on the data card 106, and identify the passport spine and the edges to be processed. The registration marks may align the passport blank 128 and / or the edge processing device 808 such that the processed passport, value, or security document 100 always has the same format and orientation. This is particularly advantageous if the identification, value or security document 100, in particular the data card 106, has machine-readable information. The alignment by means of the alignment markings ensures that they are always to be found in the same position and with the same orientation in the identification, value or security document 100, in particular on the data card 106. This ensures that the ID card, value document or security document 100 can be read out by machine.

The alignment of the passbook blank 128 can be carried out, for example, by the transport device 900, which holds the passbook blank 128 in front of the detection device 814 before the passbook blank 128 is inserted into the holding device 802. The detection device 810 detects the alignment marks and controls the transport device 900 so that the passbook blank 128 is inserted into the holding device 802 with the desired orientation.

Alternatively, the holding device 802 can be pivoted and only a coarse positioning by the transport device 900 takes place. The alignment marker ments are detected only after insertion into the holding device and the holding device 802 is aligned relative to the edge processing device 808. The fine positioning is carried out by pivoting the holding device 802. Optionally or additionally, the edge processing device 808 can be pivoted, so that no fine alignment of the passbook blank 128 is required. It only has to be ensured that the free edges are accessible. This can be done, for example, in that the transport device 900 includes the edges, so that it is ensured that the holding device 802 can not attack on these.

Furthermore, the recognition device detects an identification feature of the identification, value or security document 100 and / or the controller 814 receives information that identifies the type of identification, value or security document 100. Depending on the orientation, registration marks, and identification or information received, the format or position of the edges of the finished badge, value, or security document 100 is determined and the margins are processed by the edge enhancer 808, respectively. The processing of the free edges is material-removing, that is, the material of the free edges is removed by the milling attachment until the ID card, value or security document 100 has the desired format. In this process, even between the passbook block 104 and the cover 102 leaked adhesive can be removed. Since the curing and crosslinking of the adhesive layer 612 takes place only when the passbook blank 128 has been folded in, the passbook blank 128 and thus also the identification, value or security document 100 are acted upon in this folded state. When unfolding the identification, value or security document 100, the crosslinked and cured adhesive layer 612 between cover 102 and passbook block 104 generates stresses which act on the identification, value or security document in the closed state.
