Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for processing at least one flexible web.
  • the method and the device can be used to process at least one web, preferably partially or completely made of paper, for the formation of documents.
  • a document is understood to mean a printed document, such as a letter from a company or an official administration.
  • Such documents are normally produced in larger series, preferably each document in a series being printed at least in part with changeable information, ie data and information which change from document to document and for example the name and address of the recipient and this individually relevant information represent.
  • the documents can also be used for all documents produced, or at least for a series of such information, such as the name of the company or administration producing and / or sending the documents, the name of the documents, such as Order confirmation or invoice, and line for delimiting columns and fields.
  • the web After printing, the web can be shaped in various ways and, for example, cut into sheets, which are packed in separate envelopes for shipping.
  • the method and the system can possibly also serve to fold the documents after printing and connect them in places so that each document simultaneously forms a tear-open cover.
  • These documents and / or sleeves can be produced, for example, with the addresses that are different for different sleeves when they are produced in an area subsequently on the outside of the sleeve Recipient and possibly also with the address of the sender and / or with other information that is the same for all envelopes.
  • envelopes can still contain information intended for the recipient on their inner parts and / or can be used to send separate documents accommodated in them.
  • a virgin, that is, unprinted and imperforate paper web is transported through a series of separate, autonomous units and processed into documents by treatments that are carried out successively in the various units.
  • One of the devices disclosed in the cited publication has, for example, five separate structural units, each with a frame.
  • the first assembly serves as an unwinding assembly for unwinding a virgin paper web from a spool.
  • the second assembly serves as the first Fassonier assembly and has a treatment device with two rotatable treatment members in order to form a row of holes at each of the two longitudinal edges of the paper web.
  • the third structural unit has a treatment device with two treatment elements, between which the paper web is passed and at least one of which is rotatable and provided with a printing form for printing constant information.
  • the fourth unit has a printing unit for printing certain, changeable data and other information by a computer.
  • the fifth structural unit serves as a second shaping unit and has two treatment devices, each with at least one rotatable treatment element for cutting the perforated edge strips of the paper web or for cutting it into sheets.
  • the first assembly has a motor for driving the spool containing the web.
  • the second to fifth structural units have transport means with movable transport elements which engage the web and drive means with at least one electric motor for Driving the transport organs and possibly the rotating treatment organs.
  • each unit has control means for controlling the motors. In the operation of such and similar systems used in practice, the control means regulate the motors of the various devices in such a way that the paper web forms loops with a predetermined sag between the devices.
  • the rotatable treatment members of the Fassonier assemblies currently used in practice to make rows of holes running along the web edges, to cut the edge strips containing them, to cut the web into sheets and the like normally have punching and cutting tools. Because of the wear that occurs during operation, these tools have to be replaced from time to time, which is done in known devices by replacing the tools with the treatment element mounted in the frame of the relevant unit. This has the disadvantage that the entire facility or system to which the structural unit belongs must be shut down for a relatively long period of time, for example several hours. Also in the case of other units serving the purpose, it is generally necessary to replace or / or at least completely or partially clean rotatable treatment organs from time to time, which usually also necessitates relatively long interruptions in operation of the system.
  • FR-A-1 560 713 discloses a method and apparatus for making checks.
  • the facility has two chains of units, each with a few separate units.
  • the first chain has assemblies to unwind a paper web from a spool, to print with unchangeable information, to provide rows of holes and subsequently rows of holes for transporting the web and to rewind it on a spool.
  • the other, second chain has units in order to unwind the web treated by the first chain of units, to print them with variable data and to cut them.
  • FR-A-1 560 713 In the case of the device according to FR-A-1 560 713, the costs and the space requirement are further increased by the fact that at the end of the first assembly chain there is a winding assembly and at the beginning of the second assembly chain there is an unwinding assembly. Accordingly, the method known from FR-A-1-560 713 has the disadvantages that additional work operations are necessary in order to wind up the web at the end of the first assembly chain, the spool formed thereby to the unwinding assembly of the second assembly chain transport and then unwind the web again.
  • EP-A-0 183 336 discloses a device with a number of structural units for processing a web, for example cutting, perforating, folding and printing. Each unit has means of transport for transporting the web, treatment organs and a microprocessor.
  • the microprocessors belonging to the various structural units are connected to one another and to an electronic control device by means of a bus connection. When operating the facility, the work processes are coordinated with one another by the microprocessors.
  • the path forms loops between the different units, so that the path in the different units can be accelerated differently.
  • the printing assembly is apparently only intended for printing constant information and continuously changing numbers, but not for printing any data that can be changed.
  • the device known from EP-A-0 183 336 has similar disadvantages as the device known from CH-A-628 855.
  • FR-A-2 445 651 discloses a rotary printing press with at least one printing station. This has four rotatable cylinders, two of which are equipped with pressure plates. The printing station clamps a web between cylinders, unwinds the web from a supply spool, tensions the web and prints it. The web is then transported between two pinch rollers to a folding device. A first motor drives the cylinders of the printing station. A second motor drives one of the two pinch rollers. The shafts of the two motors are provided with devices which generate a number of electrical pulses per revolution and feed these pulses to a control device.
  • a rotary printing machine for printing on paper webs known from GB-A-2 046 664 has several printing stations with rotatable cylinders, one of which is provided with a printing plate. Furthermore, cutting devices for partially cutting a paper web and possibly other treatment devices, not described in detail, such as punching and perforating devices, are provided. Each cutting device has a frame, a cutting roller and two press rollers for pressing a paper web against the cutting roller. The cutting roller is rotatably supported in two supports, which are displaceably guided by a rod and are secured in a working position against displacement when the cutting device is used with securing means.
  • Each press roller is rotatably mounted in a support, which is also slidably guided by a rod and is secured against displacement when the cutting device is used with securing means.
  • the operation of the printing machine is interrupted, the securing means securing the supports of the cutting roller are released, the supports holding the cutting roller and the cutting roller are pushed out of the frame and then another cutting roller is pushed into the frame.
  • the invention is based on the object of eliminating disadvantages of the known methods and devices.
  • the web should be able to be transported to the printing unit from the rotating treatment members producing hole rows running in the longitudinal direction of the web, without the web having to form a sagging loop between these treatment members and the printing unit, so that the web takes up little space between the treatment organs producing the rows of holes and the printing unit.
  • the angular velocity of the at least one treatment organ is proportional to the velocity of the at least one made a transport organ that transports the web through the printing unit. If sections of the web are in the at least one treatment device and in the printing unit and the transport of the web is started or stopped, the at least one rotatable treatment member and the at least one transport member are to be set in motion or stopped at the same time to be brought. In other words, the proportionality of the angular velocity of the at least one rotatable treatment organ and the velocity of the at least one transport organ should also be guaranteed when the latter has a value of zero.
  • the speed of a web section located in the or a treatment device can therefore be made equal to the speed of a web section located in the printing unit at the relevant time. Accordingly, the web can be processed synchronously in the or each treatment device and in the printing unit.
  • the transport and processing of the web can therefore be controlled relatively easily and with control means which have only comparatively few separate and separately installable components and are accordingly inexpensive to manufacture and inexpensively installed and electrically can be connected to the printing unit to be controlled and to the drive devices to be controlled.
  • the transport means and the drive means can also be designed to be relatively simple and can be manufactured and assembled at low cost.
  • the simple design of the control means and the possibility of transporting the web with relatively little movable transport members also allows the entire processing of the web to be carried out with relatively low energy consumption.
  • the frame on which the printing unit serving to print variable information is attached also holds a treatment device arranged in front of the printing unit in relation to the transport direction of the web, in order to hold the web along its longitudinal edges in the Longitudinal rows of holes to be provided, and at least one other treatment device arranged with respect to the web transport device after the printing unit, for example to cut the web into sheets by means of cuts running transversely to their longitudinal direction or with crosswise to provide perforations running in the longitudinal direction of the web.
