Definitions
- the present invention relates to a folder having a first cylinder and a second cylinder and with a guide device according to the preamble of Claim 1.
- Fold-off guides are generally used in machines that are essentially Fold flat material using a rotational movement.
- Printing machines include these machines, folder-free, pointless Folders, wheel folders, sword folders, gripper folders, etc.
- Guide devices for guiding the folding products during the folding process which in Folders used to fold paper products support the Signature or the bow, change of direction or sudden acceleration or To carry out delays. Such accelerations or decelerations result often to the appearance of folded corners of the folded products, i.e. of donkey ears, and smearing of the color on the freshly processed paper.
- conventional Guide devices are guide devices with a fixed radius. Although these are helpful to some extent, they can be modified by changing the Speed-related requirements during the folding of the products are not Take into account. It has also been shown that the guide devices with a fixed Radius turned out to be no longer appropriate due to increasing speeds have proven.
- a folder according to the invention with a first cylinder and a second cylinder and with a guide device for guiding at least one trailing end of a product, the product from the first cylinder to the second cylinder is characterized in that the guide device is movable and / or is deformable.
- first cylinder a transfer cylinder and the second cylinder is a folding cylinder.
- the guide device has at least one flexible Plate or a flexible strip comprises, the plate or the strip in two Clamps extending parallel to an axis of the transfer cylinder is.
- one or both of the clasps are rotatable about an axis parallel to the axis of the transfer cylinder the shape of the flexible plate or strip by bending the plate or Change strip due to rotation of at least one of the clasps.
- the invention Guide means formed by an endless belt which is fastened in the manner that it runs around or is guided around a plurality of guide rollers, and one dynamically movable fold guide surface that forms near the second cylinder or the folding cylinder moves at a speed that is essentially corresponds to the speed of the periphery of the folding cylinder.
- the folding cylinder is replaced by a Formed jaw cylinder, which carries at least one jaw, which is used to fold the Signature is formed.
- the Transfer cylinder formed by a pin cylinder or a gripper cylinder that at least one folding knife for pushing or pushing the signatures into the Has folding jaw of the folding jaw cylinder in the fold area.
- the invention Guide device by a having a control cam or cam disc rotating body, e.g. B. formed a cylinder having at least one bulge or has a raised area and synchronized with that through the gap transporting signature rotates.
- a control cam or cam disc rotating body e.g. B. formed a cylinder having at least one bulge or has a raised area and synchronized with that through the gap transporting signature rotates.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B show a schematic illustration of a folder, which provides a signature separated from a web with a first transverse fold.
- the endless web 1 runs from a last printing unit or not shown a product finishing unit, not shown, e.g. B. a former, a before it is cut into signatures and folded into the desired shape.
- Bahn 1 is first by pin needles 2 of grippers on the transfer cylinder 3rd added.
- the transfer cylinder 3 can also be used as a point cylinder Gripper cylinder to be executed. Following the recording of the signature by the The needle is punctured by the cutting knife 4 on a cutting cylinder 5 cut.
- a folding knife 7 presses the paper between a movable Folding flap 8 and a stationary folding flap 9 on the folding cylinder 6. At this time the puncture needles 2 are retracted into the transfer cylinder 3.
- the previous description can also be based on a Sheet processing machine can be applied.
- the signature is not separated from an endless path, but comes in the form of an arc in one Sheet rotation machine or in a sheet feeder.
- the signature at this point is through the folding cylinder 6 held and pulled in the counterclockwise direction.
- a trailing edge 10 of the signature sets its movement along a curvilinear or curved path continues through the periphery of the Transfer cylinder 3 and through the periphery of the adjoining Folding cylinder 6 is described.
- the leading edge 11 is on the other hand very exposed to sudden changes of direction when rotating clockwise Transfer cylinder 3 removed and literally in the counterclockwise rotation of the folding cylinder is "whipped" into it. From the folding cylinder 6 the signature then becomes additional folders, folding cylinders or one transported boom not shown.
- the leading edge 11 of the signature is subject to one extreme acceleration that leads to a whip or a beating of the leading edge 11 leads when this their direction of movement from Transfer cylinder 3 changes to folding cylinder 6.
- the leading edge 11 also to a trailing edge.
- the signature edges 10 and 11, which follow the fold, are therefore also used as signature ends or signature tails designated.
- a guide device 12 according to the invention has a fold guide surface, which is arranged above the cylinders 3 and 6 by the acceleration to minimize the stress on the signature and the free whip effect.
- Guide devices that have a fixed radius can change the Requirements and needs during the folding of the products as well as through the Do not record changes in speed. The resulting Problems are shown in the image sequence of FIG. 2.
- the guide device 12 should have a larger radius to the Lubricate and minimize the acceleration of the signature. Height Accelerations can lead to dog ears if the leading edge of the signature in the area of the peripheral speed of the jaw cylinder 6 (up) in the turns clockwise in the opposite direction.
- a smaller radius is helpful to the movement the signature - as shown in the presentations 65, 80 and 95 - to check.
- the end of the signature tends to close the fold overtake because the fold moves at a constant angular velocity.
- the first embodiment of the invention has one Guide device 12, which has a statically variable shape.
- the one in this The term "static” used in context refers to the fact that the fold guide surface does not move in the direction of signature transport, and that in a further embodiment of the invention, the guide device during the Folding process remains completely stationary.
- statically changeable guide device of the first The embodiment is the flexible guide device or guide devices 12 two pivotable holding clips or mounting clips 13, 14 attached.
- the clips 13 allow and 14 an independent adjustment, change or deformation of the right side and the left side of the guide device according to the invention.
- side it means that the reference used here to the right and the left Side only refer to the illustration with the transfer cylinder 3 on the right side and the folding cylinder 6 on the left side (as shown in the figure).
- both clasps 13 and 14 are opposed rotated clockwise.
- the resulting shape of the flexible guide device 12 is a flattened in the vicinity of the clasp-carrying cylinder 6 and one in Direction towards the transfer cylinder 3 or shifted towards this Shape, d. H. the guide device 12 is deformed. This is shown in FIG. 4B shown.
- the flexible guide device 12 After the signature has left the fold area (momentary representation 140, 155) the flexible guide device 12 by rotating the clasps 13 and 14 in the opposite direction clockwise again prepared for a subsequent signature.
- the clasps 13 and / or 14 directly via a gear train with the Drive gears of the cylinders 3 and 6, or can be connected by their own Motor driven.
- the force required to rotate the clasps 13 and 14 to change the shape of the flexible guide 12 is comparative low, so that a comparatively small and inexpensive motor is sufficient.
- the second embodiment of the invention shown therein is characterized by a dynamically changing guide device according to the invention.
- the guide device is formed by one or more belts 15, which, as shown, rotate clockwise.
- the speed of the belt 15 is essentially identical to the peripheral speed of the cylinders 3 and 6.
- the belt or belts 15 run around guide rollers 16, the axes of rotation of which run parallel to the cylinders 3 and 6.
- the belt 15 is held taut by a spring 17 which acts on the roller 16 radially outwards.
- the other guide roller 16 can also be acted upon by a spring, or it can be accommodated in adjustable bearing blocks.
- a cam roller 18 rotates clockwise at approximately the same speed with the belt 15 in the same direction.
- the cam roller 18 comprises a cam surface which causes the lower run 12 of the belt 15, for example the guide device 12, to change its shape in synchronization with the signatures moving through the folder.
- the guide roller 18 is set in such a way that the Whipping movement of the signature end 10, 11 is reduced in order to prevent the formation of dog ears and the smearing of the freshly printed signatures.
- the third embodiment of the invention which is shown in FIG. 6, has one Guide roller 18 or an eccentric 18, the surface of which is in direct contact with of the signature arrives without one or more straps 15 being interposed are.
- the guide device 18, which in this case is designed as a rotating body is making a movement.
- the movement, e.g. B. a rotation and / or a translation, or also the deformation the guide device causes the surface of the guide device is variable and the product to be transported, or at least a trailing end of the product during the transfer from one cylinder to a downstream one Cylinder leads in such a way that the product is undamaged and at high speed can be handed over.
