Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the production of book blocks consisting of folded printed sheets, in which the printed sheets having different printed images are individually fed to the sewing device of a thread-stitching machine according to a specific order and are stitched together by at least one binding thread passing through the printed sheet fold.
- Processes of this kind are used to produce books of high binding quality.
- the different, folded printed sheets forming the book blocks are made available in a stacked order in a certain order according to the content of the book block to be produced, and are successively sent to a processing line by a separating device.
- the printed sheets pass through a station in which they are checked for correctness and readiness for processing. In front of this station they are opened for the purpose of processing in the sewing device and astride a saddle-shaped support, where they are taken over by drivers of a rotating conveyor.
- a reading device directed from the outside onto the saddle-shaped support determines which printed sheet it is, which is then checked in a comparison device connected to the reading device.
- the comparison device signals a control if it is a defective sheet. If this is the case, the processing process is stopped and the faulty printing sheet is replaced.
- the comparison device contains the data of the target values of the printed sheets intended for a complete book block as well as their sequence, the necessary data being recorded or stored in a previous calibration process.
- This type of print sheet detection allows the sheet sequence to be ensured and correct.
- this object is achieved in that the printed sheets on the conveying path to the sewing device on at least one of the sides forming the fold inner edge of the printed sheets in a spread position on a sheet type or. the completeness and / or processing position are guided past on the basis of the control device checking the printed images, which among other things the reliability of the processing process can be increased.
- the printed images of the printed sheets are optically read and recorded, then compared with a stored reference value and a difference calculated therefrom to form a signal that has a stopping or correcting effect on the production process of the thread sewing machine is triggered , so that an easily understandable functional connection can arise.
- a transfer device has proven to be suitable which has laterally sloping bearing surfaces which are interrupted in the reading area of the reading device or are formed with a window-like recess.
- the reading device is expediently connected to a comparison device which records / stores a stored setpoint value which can be changed and is designed as an electronic computer.
- a control is preferably connected to the comparison device, which can influence the stapling process, the transfer device or the thread-stitching machine between the feed on the singling device and the sewing device on signals from the comparison device, i.e. can interrupt or correct the processing process.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic side view of a thread stitching machine
- Fig. 2 is a view of the underside of a sheet.
- FIG. 1 shows a thread-stitching machine 1 with a printed sheet feeder 2, which has a magazine 3, in which the printed sheets 4 are provided stacked one on top of the other in the order of a book block 5 to be produced.
- the printed sheets 4 are individually picked up on the underside of the stack by vacuum cleaners, grippers (not shown) or the like, pulled off and passed on to a conveyor 6.
- the latter passes through an opening station 7, in which the printed sheets 4 are gripped laterally (for example by means of suction devices) and are delivered astride a transfer device 8 in a spread position.
- the transfer device 8 has a - .3 -
- the printed sheet is put through the stitching saddle 16 into the binding position in which the sewing process takes place (to be read in the prior art).
- the sewing of the printed sheets 4 to book blocks is indicated by a needle 21 and a binding thread 22 shown.
- the book blocks 5 are continuously removed with a conveyor belt 23.
- a comparison device (not shown) which calculates differences which form a signal which is used to control the control device.
- the latter consists of the reading device, which is initiated by a reflecting light beam 24 applied approximately perpendicularly to at least one inner side that divides the printing sheets 4 in half, a comparison device evaluating the light beam 24, in which the unconverted light beam is compared as an actual value with a desired value becomes. A signal to a controller calculated from this interrupts or changes the production process of the thread sewing machine.
