Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for aligning sheets conveyed on a feed table to stops arranged in and / or transversely to the sheet conveying direction.
- the sheets to be fed in via the feed table of the printing press must be aligned in the sheet conveying direction and transverse to the sheet conveying direction before being taken over into the printing press / in order to ensure high print quality.
- Alignment in the sheet conveying direction is carried out by constant or cyclical conveying against front stops.
- Conveyor belts (DE 39 17 072) arranged on the feed table are known for continuous conveying and clocked rollers (DD 139 706) are known for the cyclical conveying in time with the sheet conveying.
- the alignment devices for avoiding alignment errors have a complicated structure, require a high adjustment effort and nevertheless alignment errors cannot always be avoided in machines that end in snow.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method and a device for exact sheet alignment with little effort. According to the invention, the object is achieved by the features of the claims.
- Fig. 1 feed table side view
- the sheets 2 to be printed by the feed printing unit and, if appropriate, further printing units are fed to the feed printing unit in known manner / usually in scaled form / in cycles.
- the cycle frequency of the sheet conveyance is dependent on the processing speed of the printing press.
- the sheets 2 conveyed on the feed table 1 of the printing press are aligned in the sheet travel direction at transfer marks 4 arranged transversely to the sheet running direction 3 before transfer to the feed printing unit (FIG. 1). Then or at the same time, the sheets 2 are aligned transversely to the sheet running direction 3 at a side mark 5 arranged on the side of the feed table 1 (FIG. 2).
- the brands mentioned act as stops.
- Alignment is carried out by applying a force component to the sheet 2.
- the force component includes a movement component 8 or is composed of a pressure component 7 and a movement component 8 (FIG. 3).
- the sheet 2 to be aligned is applied to the contact marks 4 and / or the side mark 5 and thus aligned.
- the sheet 2 is applied by applying intermittent / temporarily interrupting pulses to the sheet.
- the pulse is understood to mean the short-term effect of a physical quantity / the impulses are applied with a pulse element 6.
- a pressure component 7 and a movement component 8 or only one movement component with slip are applied to the sheet 2.
- the force-free relaxation of the bow takes place.
- the slip can be selected by changing the size of the pressing component depending on the type of printing material.
- the frequency of the intermittent pulses is much higher than the clock frequency of the conveyed sheets.
- the cycle frequency of the conveyed sheets is in the order of several Hertz (up to approx. 5 Hz) and the frequency of the intermittent pulses in the order of more than 50 Hz / preferably in the order of 200-400 Hz.
- the pulse frequency is adjustable or controllable in relation to the machine speed.
- the movement components are applied to the sheet separately in phase or out of phase for each alignment direction (direction arrows in FIG. 2). With phase-shifted alignment, uninfluenced alignment in the side and sheet conveying direction is possible / ie the lateral alignment is unaffected by the alignment on the contact marks and vice versa.
- By applying the movement components at an angle to the sheet conveying direction (dashed arrow in FIG. 2), it is possible to align the sheet in both alignment directions with a single pulse element 6.
- the angle is adjustable / it is thus possible, depending on the type of substrate, to select the optimum angle and to choose the direction of movement of the sheet to be aligned (side stop 5 arranged on the right or left).
- the intermittent impulses are applied either rotatively or translatively.
- the rotary application is for example with a rotating element 9 rotating at high frequency with several tooth-like elevations / which touch the arc in the active phase / is possible (FIG. 4).
- the rotary element 9 is arranged either parallel or perpendicular to the sheet conveying plane. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the rotary element 9 is arranged in a vertical position below the arch 2; A support element 10 is arranged above the arch. The rotary element 9 presses the sheet against the support element 10. When the rotary element is arranged above the sheet, the feed table 1 acted as a support element.
- the translative application of the impulses is possible, for example, with an oscillating anchor (FIG. 5) or a Wagnerian hammer / a vibrating element or an oscillating element or by translation from rotation.
