Definitions

  • the invention relates to a boom of a sheet processing Printing machine with operationally rotating grippers, which the pass the processed sheet in a conveying direction to a sheet brake.
  • the publication DE 44 35 988 A1 discloses with variable speed revolving suction devices, which by means of the revolving gripper transported sheets in a neighboring one of the trailing edge Capture the area of the sheets at a time when the Speed of the suction devices with the processing speed the press matches. Then the grippers give the respective sheets detected by the suction devices free and the Suction devices are at a reduced orbital speed slowed down, with which they in turn finally formed the bow Release the stack.
  • the invention has for its object the boom mentioned above to design such that a safe takeover of the bow on the part of Arch brake is guaranteed.
  • the device designed in this way selectively one of the trailing ones Edge of a respective arc adjacent area thereof by means of the Bow brake can be detected safely.
  • the device is thus special suitable for braking sheets printed on both sides and makes one unnecessary such a setting of the sheet brake that this sheet printed on both sides detected in unprinted corridors running in the conveying direction.
  • the Gripper Before the sheet brake is reached, prints are printed on both sides in particular Arch to avoid smearing usually over an between this and an arch guide surface formed air cushion, the Gripper a gripper track following the course of the sheet guide surface passed through.
  • This air cushion is created by a diverse arrangement of Blow or suction nozzles in the sheet guiding surface are preferably designed such that the sheets run smoothly over the sheet guide surface.
  • the said Air cushions also form one, particularly in the area of the sheet brake Flow out, which in conventional cantilevers creates the respective Sheet on braking elements of the sheet brake, such as suction rolls, Suction wheels or endless belts or a suction box Complicate cords. With the construction of a boom according to the invention this disadvantage is also eliminated.
  • the sheet guides the lateral edges of the sheet include supporting guide surfaces which the side edges of the sheets can be pressed on.
  • the side edges are the arches preferably under the effect of a pressure difference existing on the elbows can be pressed against the guide surfaces, while according to a second variant the side edges of the sheets to the Guide surfaces can be pressed.
  • the Guide surfaces according to a first embodiment are preferably silent while according to a second embodiment, preferably by means of operation
  • Direction of conveyance of running strands of circumferential belts are formed.
  • the sheet guides at the mutual distance of the side edges of the sheet are customizable.
  • a boom 1 follows a last one Processing station of a printing press.
  • a processing station can be a printing unit or an aftertreatment unit, for example a coating unit.
  • the last one is Processing station around a printing unit 2 working in the offset process a pressure cylinder 2.1.
  • the chain conveyor 4 comprises two conveyor chains 6, each of which is along a respective one Sidewall of the chain boom 1 rotates during operation.
  • a respective one Conveyor chain 6 loops around one of two synchronously driven Drive chain wheels 7, whose axes of rotation are aligned with one another and is in the
  • the present example has one each relative to the drive sprockets 7 downstream with respect to the processing direction Deflection sprocket 8 out.
  • the conveyor chains 6 are along their paths between the Drive sprockets 7 on the one hand and the deflection chain wheels 8 on the other guided by chain guide rails, which thus the chain tracks of Determine chain dreams.
  • the sheets 3 of the lower chain center in Fig. 1 transported.
  • the one that this one went through Section of the chain track follows a, facing this, at the Sheet guiding device 10 formed sheet guiding surface 17.
  • Between this and the respective arc 3 passed over is preferably operationally on Air cushion formed.
  • the sheet guiding device 10 is included in the Sheet guiding surface equipped 17 blowing air nozzles, of which in Fig. 1 is only a representative of their entirety, and in symbolic Representation in the form of the nozzle 18 is reproduced.
  • a coolant circuit in the sheet guide device 10 integrated, symbolically in Fig. 1 by an inlet port 21 and one Outlet port 22 on one of the sheet guide surface 17 associated Coolant pan 23 is indicated.
  • the chain guide rails are shown in FIG. 1 waived. However, the course of the same in the present example is from that the chain dreams recognizable.
  • the schematic plan view shown in Fig. 2 on a Area of the boom comprising the bow brake 11 is a preferred one mutual assignment of the sheet brake 11 on the one hand and on the other hand removable from sheet guides 24.
  • Bow guides 24 formed by means of guide surfaces 24.1 and clocked Hold-down 24.2, which are designed here in the form of rollers.
  • the Hold-down devices 24.2 press the lateral ones in a working position Edges of a respective sheet 2 on the guide surfaces 24.1 and temporarily into a distance from the guide surfaces 24.1 Dodge position spent when a leading edge of a particular Arc 3 passes the place where the hold-down 24.2 is in its Working position, d. H. the hold-down devices 24.2 are clocked and give way the gripper systems 9.
  • a mechanism suitable for this is shown in FIG. 3 evident, which will be discussed in more detail.
  • the sheet brake 11 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 three synchronously rotating endless brake bands 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 which each have at least one cam 11.1 ', 11.2' and 11.3 ', via at least one of the respective brake bands 11.1, 11.2; 11.3 penetrating hole in time with the successive bows with a vacuum generator, not shown here, is connected.
  • the bow 3 move in the direction indicated by the arrow 25 Conveying direction towards the sheet brake 11 and the brake bands 11.1, 11.2 and, 11.3 are synchronized with such a variable by means of a motor 27 Speed driven that the cams 11.1 ', 11.2 ', 11.3' of the underside of one of the sheets 3 in the area thereof face the trailing pressure-free edge and the same Have speed like the revolving grippers 9.1.
  • this Operating state take over the cams 11.1 ', 11.2', 11.3 ', the bow 3 and the grippers 9.1 release it.
  • the respective sheet 3 on its side edges by means of Sheet guides 24 out. This is the case in the configuration according to FIG.
  • the hold-down devices 24.2 are of this type placed that a respective sheet has left the hold-down 24.2 again if the cams 11.1 ', 11.2', 11.3 'after the respective one has been taken over Sheet 3 can be delayed to a depositing speed.
  • rollers 24.4 wrapped in a respective band 24.3 and one driving motor 26 are in a manner not shown by a respective sled carried transversely to the arrow 25 specified conveying direction is displaceable, so that the sheet guides 24 the mutual distance of the side edges of the sheet 3 are adjustable.
  • This is indicated in Fig. 2 by a with solid lines reproduced position of the sheet guides 24 when processing sheets 3 with maximum format and one with broken lines Position of the sheet guides 24 when processing sheet 3 with minimal Format.
  • the hold-down devices 24.2 comprise free rotatable rollers, by means of which the lateral edges of the sheet 3 to this supporting guide surfaces 24.1 are pressed.
  • FIG. 3 shows the above-mentioned operating state, in which a Sheet 3 on the trailing pressure-free edge of the same on the part of Cam 11.1 ', 11.2' and 11.3 'is taken over.
  • This operating state is reached after the grabs 9.1 initially avoided Downholders 4.2 have returned to their working position in soft the lateral edges of the sheet 3 to the guide surfaces 24.1 press down.
  • the latter are preferably at a somewhat lower level than that Top sides of the cams 11.1 'in the said operating state, 11.2 '. With this measure, a safe transfer of the sheet 3 to the Cam 11.1 ', 11.2', 11.3 'further favored.
