Sheet processing machine and method for processing sheets in a sheet processing machine

The invention relates to a sheet processing machine according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for processing sheets in a sheet processing machine according to the preamble of claim 49.

In the production of packaging, web or sheet-like materials are processed. In several processing steps, the sheets are, for example, printed, embossed, grooved, perforated, punched, cut, stapled, glued and, for example, folded into packaging. For optimal use of the area of an arc, several identical or different copies, z. B. a poster, a folding box or packaging, printed on a common sheet and then punched. These copies are referred to as utility.

A sheet processing machine can include various processing steps such as printing, cutting, embossing, creasing, punching, perforating, gluing and / or stapling. Such sheet processing machines often also have inspection devices. Usually, sheets are processed and cut to size in processing machines with shaped punching and cutting devices.

Such a processing machine is designed, for example, as a punching, cutting, perforating, embossing and / or creasing machine. When such a processing machine is referred to below as a punching and / or punching machine, a cutting, perforating, embossing and / or creasing machine is also meant in particular.

In the case of form-related systems, in addition to rotary punches, there are also flat punches, in particular flat-bed punches. These are cyclical through a repetitive movement processed several sheets one after the other. The sheets are preferably moved largely horizontally through the processing machine with a transport system, preferably a chain gripper system. In addition to a punching unit, such a machine usually also has other units such. B. a sheet feed unit, a sheet delivery unit, a stripping unit, a sheet insert unit, a blanking unit and a remnant delivery unit.

The disadvantage of the technology is that it is limited in speed. The speeds that can currently be achieved are around 10,000 sheets / hour. The cause is physically justified and lies in the discontinuous movement process of the sheet to be punched. The sheet is brought to a standstill in each unit of the flatbed die cutter and then has to be accelerated to working speed again for transport to the next unit. These braking and acceleration processes stress the structure of the punched sheet and therefore do not allow higher processing speeds.

By using rotary punching machines, significantly higher production speeds can be achieved due to the continuous movement process. Rotary punching machines can, for example, be equipped with the modules punching unit, creasing unit, embossing unit and stripping unit. Such a rotary punch is known, for example, from WO 2017/089420 A2.

DE 101 47486 A1 discloses a sheet-fed rotary printing machine in which a punching or cutting device is integrated. The printing machine is assembled in a series design and comprises a sheet feeder, at least one printing unit, a punching or cutting device arranged downstream of the printing unit, and a sheet delivery.

DE 19 70846 U teaches a cutting device for web-shaped material for cultivation a machine that processes web-shaped goods such as a printing machine. The cutting device has two knife holders designed as cylindrical rollers with receiving devices for knives and counter knives. For example, web sections are generated from the web-shaped material. The frame of the cutting device is pivotably supported on a traverse of the printing machine.

DE 102018219716 B3 shows a sheet processing machine. The sheet processing machine has a device for treating substrates, a display for forming stacks of treated substrates and a blanking unit. The delivery for forming stacks of treated substrates is connected to the blanking unit via a transport path.

US 9 033646 B2 discloses a device for dividing a stack into two partial stacks in a sheet processing machine. After processing individual sheets, they are collected in a collecting station to form a stack. The stack is then divided into an upper and a lower partial stack by means of the dividing device. The individual partial stacks are fed to a bundler for bundling the batches.

DE 691 03 185 T2 discloses a machine for forming partial stacks starting from a main stack of sheets. A stack separating device lifts the sheets of the partial stack to be formed from the main stack, whereupon the partial stack is deposited on a transport device designed as a belt. The transport device has a fixed part and a displaceable part, the displaceable part being able to penetrate into the free space between the raised partial stack and the remaining main stack.

The invention is based on the object of creating a sheet processing machine and a method for processing sheets in a sheet processing machine. The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1 and claim 49. The dependent claims show advantageous developments and / or embodiments of the solution found.

A sheet processing machine advantageously comprises at least one shaping unit. The at least one shaping unit advantageously has at least one forme cylinder and at least one impression cylinder. In the transport direction after the at least one shaping unit, at least one sheet delivery is advantageously arranged.

The advantages that can be achieved with the invention are in particular that at least one cutting unit with at least one cutting tool is arranged after the at least one sheet delivery in the transport direction. The at least one cutting unit is advantageously arranged as part of the sheet processing machine, that is to say inline, after the at least one sheet delivery. This means that there is no need to interrupt the machining processes in order to transport sheets from the at least one sheet delivery to the at least one cutting unit, and the advantage of the high processing speed of the rotary punching machine can be retained. The production speed of the sheet processing machine is advantageously at least 15,000 (fifteen thousand) and / or a maximum of 50,000 (fifty thousand), for example 20,000 (twenty thousand), sheets per hour. For this purpose, at least one transfer transport system is advantageously arranged in particular between the at least one sheet delivery and the at least one cutting unit. In particular, by processing partial stacks instead of individual sheets in the at least one cutting unit, the production speed is additionally increased. The at least one cutting tool is advantageously designed to carry out at least one cut orthogonal to the transport direction. Such cuts, which are arranged parallel to an axis of rotation of the forme cylinder, cannot be carried out in the at least one forming unit, since this requires great forces due to the rotation of the forme cylinder and the impression cylinder. As a result, the production speed has been reduced in previous machining processes and / or the contours of use have been slightly turned in on a sheet to be machined, so that the cut to be carried out has an angle of unequal ninety degrees to the transport direction. However, this results in a high number of leftover pieces with comparatively few benefits and thus a low utilization of the area of the at least one sheet. These disadvantages can be eliminated by using the at least one cutting unit which carries out at least one cut orthogonally to the transport direction. Advantageously, a high production speed is guaranteed in comparison to previous processing processes and / or a higher area utilization is achieved in the arrangement of panels on the at least one sheet. Waste in the form of unused remnants of the sheet is minimized.

The at least one transfer transport system advantageously has at least one handling device. The at least one handling device is advantageously designed to generate at least a partial stack of sheets starting from at least one stack of sheets. The at least one handling device is advantageously designed to generate at least a partial stack of the sheets. The at least one handling device is advantageously designed to form the at least one partial stack starting from at least one stack of the sheets. The at least one handling device is advantageously designed to separate the at least one partial stack from the at least one stack of sheets. The at least one transfer transport system advantageously transports the sheets to the unit processing at least one further sheet by means of at least one cycle conveyor.

A simple and quick dismantling of the at least one is advantageous Stacks in partial stacks in the at least one handling device. The stack is advantageously divided automatically within the processing machine, in particular within the transfer transport system. In particular, the speed of the transport and / or the division of the stack in the at least one handling device is advantageously adapted to the processing speed of the sheets in the individual units of the processing machine, thereby ensuring optimum machine utilization.

A production line for processing sheet-like substrates, preferably for producing folding box die-cut products, is advantageously created. In the sheet processing machine, a mechanical separation process for separating individual copies of a sheet from one another is advantageously attached to and combined with a, preferably rotary, punching process, for example alternatively to a flat-bed punching process. The rotary stamping process advantageously achieves high processing speeds of at least 15,000 (fifteen thousand) and / or a maximum of 50,000 (fifty thousand), for example 20,000 (twenty thousand), sheets per hour.

The high processing speed preferably has a continuous material flow, in which the acceleration and braking forces acting on the sheet are low, in particular in comparison to a flat-bed punching machine. By connecting the at least one further unit processing the sheets to the at least one sheet delivery upstream along the transport path and / or the at least one shaping unit upstream along the transport path, a processing speed of the sheets is advantageously above the limit of the processing speed of flat bed cutters, in particular in the at least one further the sheet processing unit reached. In particular, by processing partial stacks instead of individual sheets in the at least one further unit processing the sheets, the Production speed increased. The production speed of the sheet processing machine is advantageously at least 15,000 (fifteen thousand) and / or a maximum of 50,000 (fifty thousand), for example 20,000 (twenty thousand), sheets per hour. For example, a sheet processing machine can advantageously be used for the blank separation of several punches upstream of the blank separation, preferably at least one rotary die cutter and / or, for example, at least one flat bed die cutter.

Furthermore, the chaining of the units by the at least one transfer transport system advantageously minimizes the personnel expenditure. Furthermore, there is advantageously an optimal use of space due to the linking of the units to one another by the at least one transfer transport system. Thus, the required area of the sheet processing machine can be reduced in comparison to a processing machine with a downstream punching machine that is separate therefrom, for example a flat bed punching machine. In particular, the at least one transfer transport system and in particular the at least one further unit processing the sheets, for example the blanking unit, can advantageously be integrated into existing further processing machines, preferably optimally in their workflow, for example instead of existing blanking areas.

At least one remnant piece can advantageously remain in the at least one sheet during the punching process by the at least one shaping unit.

The at least one arch, which has at least one web as a remainder, advantageously requires no cut, in particular no intermediate cuts, of the at least one shaping unit for this web. An intermediate cut is a cut between a panel and a remnant piece adjacent to it, for example a web. The separation takes place advantageously in the at least one further unit processing the sheets. This can advantageously result in a high Production output can be achieved with very high quality sheets. Furthermore, the at least one stack can be easily and quickly broken down into partial stacks in the at least one handling device in an advantageous manner. The stack is advantageously divided automatically within the processing machine, in particular within the transfer transport system. In particular, the speed of transport and / or the division of the stack in the at least one handling device is advantageously adapted to the processing speed of the sheets in the individual units of the processing machine, thereby ensuring optimum machine utilization.
