Abstract

Method in which the format and thickness of a brochure is determined directly before the ring binding process using corresponding electronics. The wire binder is then produced from a wire roll using appropriate wire binding production elements.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Broschüren beliebiger Formate und Dicken mittels Drahtkammbindung, bei dem zum losen Verbinden einer aus mehreren blattförmigen Bedruckstoffen bestehenden Broschüre ein Drahtbindeelement durch eine entlang eines Randes der blattförmigen Bedruckstoffe versehene Lochungsreihe aufgenommen wird, siehe z.B. EP-A1-0 571 165.The invention relates to a method of producing brochures of any size and thickness by means of a wire comb binding in which a wire binding element is received by a perforation row provided along an edge of the sheet-like substrates for loosely joining a booklet consisting of a plurality of sheet substrates, see e.g. EP-A1-0 571 165.

Verfahren zur Herstellung von Broschüren, die sogenannte Wire-O™-Drahtbindeelemente (registrierte Handelsmarke) in verschiedenen Größen verwenden, sind beispielsweise aus den europäischen Patentanmeldungen 0 095 243-A1 und 0 095 245-B1, bekannt.Methods for producing brochures using so-called wire-O ™ wire binding members (registered trademark) of various sizes are known, for example, from European Patent Applications 0 095 243-A1 and 0 095 245-B1.

Wire-O-Drahtbindeelemente sind als parallel zueinander beabstandete Drahtschlaufen 44 mit einer Schlaufenlänge L, einem Schlaufenabstand A und einem Drahtdurchmesser D, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, definiert und werden mittels geeigneter Schließvorrichtungen zu einem Wire-O-Ring geformt.Wire-O-wire binding elements are defined as parallel spaced wire loops 44 having a loop length L, a loop spacing A and a wire diameter D as shown in Fig. 2, and are formed into a wire O-ring by suitable fasteners.

Die Bindeeinrichtungen zu den vorgenannten Patentanmeldungen sind dabei derart ausgestaltet, dass die Verarbeitung geformter Wire-O-Drahtbindeelemente mit verschiedenen Schlaufenabständen und -längen ermöglicht wird.The binding devices to the aforementioned patent applications are designed such that the processing of shaped wire-O-wire binding elements with different loop spacings and lengths is made possible.

Generell besteht bei den genannten Vorrichtungen der Nachteil, dass zur Bindung von Broschüren unterschiedlicher Formate und Dicken die dafür notwendigen Drahtbindeelemente in Form mehrerer bereits geformter Bindeelementevorräte, z.B. als Rollenmaterial oder als auf Bindelänge geschnittene Elemente, der Bindeeinrichtung zur Verfügung gestellt werden müssen. Um diese unterschiedlichen Broschürenformate und -dicken binden zu können, ist bereits eine beachtliche Anzahl an Vorräten notwendig. Außerdem sind bei einem Formatwechsel der herzustellenden Broschüren die zum Transport und die zur Verarbeitung geeigneten Vorrichtungen an die Anforderungen der unterschiedlichen Drahtbindeelemente anzupassen. Diese Umrüstung erfordert aufwendige Konstruktionen der Transport- und Bindeeinrichtungen und macht das Bindeverfahren nur noch wirtschaftlich, wenn größere Stückzahlen einer Broschürendicke in einem Format hergestellt werden. Kleinere Auflagen sind daher unwirtschaftlich herzustellen und erfordern infolge der Maschinenanpassung einen längeren Zeitaufwand.Generally, in the case of the devices mentioned, there is the disadvantage that the binding elements required for binding booklets of different formats and thicknesses have to be made available to the binding device in the form of a plurality of already formed binding element stocks, eg as roll material or as elements cut to binding length. In order to be able to bind these different brochure formats and thicknesses, a considerable number of inventories is already necessary. In addition, in a format change of the brochures to be produced suitable for transport and the processing devices to the requirements of different Adjust wire binding elements. This retrofitting requires complex constructions of the transport and binding devices and makes the binding process only economical if larger numbers of booklet thickness are produced in a format. Smaller editions are therefore uneconomical to produce and require due to the machine adaptation a longer time.

Aus der DE 28 47 700-A1 ist ein Verfahren zum Herstellen einer Drahtbindung für Blöcke usw. bekannt, bei dem ein von einem Vorrat kontinuierlich abgezogener Draht durch Hinund Herbiegen zu einem wellenförmigen Gebilde geformt wird, wobei das wellenförmige Drahtgebilde anschließend quer zur Ebene der Wellen in eine C-förmige Gestalt gebogen wird. Zur Biegung werden Formrollen mit festgelegten Durchmessern verwendet, so dass nur Drahtbindeelemente mit nicht veränderbaren Schlaufenabständen und -längen herstellbar sind.From DE 28 47 700-A1 a method for producing a wire bond for blocks, etc., is known, in which a continuously withdrawn from a supply wire is formed by bending back and forth to a wave-like structure, wherein the wave-shaped wireforms then transversely to the plane of the waves is bent into a C-shaped shape. For bending, shaped rolls with fixed diameters are used, so that only wire binding elements with unchangeable loop spacings and lengths can be produced.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Broschüren unterschiedlicher Formate und Dicken mittels Drahtkammbindung anzugeben, mit denen Drahtbindeelemente direkt im Bindeverfahren entsprechend ihres Bedarfs und des jeweiligen Formats und Dicke der zu bindenden Broschüren hergestellt werden können.It is the object of the invention to provide a method for producing brochures of different formats and thicknesses by means of wire comb binding, with which wire binding elements can be produced directly in the binding process according to their needs and the respective format and thickness of the brochures to be bound.

Die Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass mindestens ein auf das jeweilige Format und die jeweilige Dicke der Broschüre abgestimmtes Drahtbindeelement mit beliebiger Schlaufenlänge und Schlaufenabstand auf Bedarf und unmittelbar vor dem Bindevorgang hergestellt wird.The object is achieved according to the invention in that at least one matched to the respective format and the respective thickness of the brochure wire binding element with any loop length and loop spacing is made on demand and immediately before the binding process.

Dazu wird in einem ersten Schritt das Format und die Dicke der zu bindenden Broschüre ermittelt. Die Ermittlung von Format und Dicke und gegebenfalls die Art der Lochung der zu bindenden Broschüre kann dabei durch Übergabe der Parameter aus vorangegangenen Geräten an die Elektronik geschehen und / oder durch eine Sensorik, die Format und die Dicke und gegebenfalls die Art der Lochung der zu bindenden Broschüre bestimmt und an die Elektronik übergibt.In a first step, the format and thickness of the booklet to be bound is determined. The determination of format and thickness and, if appropriate, the type of perforation of the booklet to be bound can be done by passing the parameters from previous devices to the electronics and / or by a sensor, the format and the thickness and, if necessary, the type of perforation to be bound Brochure determined and handed over to the electronics.

In einem zweiten Schritt werden die Herstellungsparameter für das Drahtbindeelement durch die Elektronik festgelegt und in einem dritten Schritt das Drahtbindeelement mittels einander elektronisch und mechanisch verbundener Einrichtungen hergestellt, durch:

  • Zuführen eines Drahtes von mindestens einem eine Drahtrolle umfassenden Drahtvorrat zu einer Drahtbiegeeinrichtung;
  • Biegen des Drahtes zu einem flachen schlaufenförmig ausgebildeten Drahtbindeelement mittels der Drahtbiegeeinrichtung;
  • Schneiden bzw. Ablängen des Drahtbindeelements mittels einer Schneideinrichtung und Zuführen des geschnittenen Drahtbindeelements zu einer Einkämmvorrichtung;
  • Zuführen eines mit einer Lochung versehenen Stapels blattförmiger Bedruckstoffe zur Bindeeinrichtung durch Transportmittel;
  • Einkämmen des Drahtbindeelements in die Lochungsreihe des Stapels blattförmiger Bedruckstoffe und anschließendes facettenartiges Biegen des Drahtbindeelements mittels einer Biege- und Schließeinrichtung zu einer geschlossenen Inline-Wire-Loop (IWL).
In a second step, the production parameters for the wire binding element are determined by the electronics and in a third step, the wire binding element manufactured by means of each other electronically and mechanically connected devices, by:
  • Feeding a wire from at least one wire roll comprising a wire roll to a wire bending device;
  • Bending the wire into a flat loop-shaped wire binding element by means of the wire bending device;
  • Cutting the wire binding element by means of a cutting device and feeding the cut wire binding element to a combing device;
  • Feeding a perforated stack of sheet-like substrates to the binding device by means of transport;
  • Combing of the wire binding element in the Lochungsreihe the stack of sheet-like substrates and subsequent faceted bending of the wire binding element by means of a bending and closing device to a closed inline wire loop (IWL).

Das Verfahren zum Herstellen von Broschüren unterschiedlicher Formate und Dicken mittels Drahtkammbindung bietet mehrere Vorteile. Es ist ein vollautomatisches Binden von Broschüren mittels bei Bedarf hergestellter Drahtbindeelemente mit beliebiger Schlaufenlänge L, Breite A und Drahtdurchmesser D, sowie in einer Schlaufenanzahl möglich, die der maximal zu verarbeitenden Broschürenlänge entspricht. Eine Umrüstung oder Anpassung der Vorrichtung zum Binden ist nicht erforderlich. Es ist möglich, eine Bindung der Broschüre durch Einzelbindeelemente zu realisieren, die gleich oder unterschiedlich voneinander beabstandet sind, wobei eine große Bindegeschwindigkeit durch zeitgleiches Binden der Einzelelemente erreicht wird. Deformationen der auf Bedarf hergestellten Drahtbindeelemente werden durch die automatische Herstellung und des Transports vermieden, so dass die Störanfälligkeit gegenüber herkömmlichen Vorrichtungen drastisch reduziert ist.The process of making brochures of different sizes and thicknesses using wire comb binding offers several advantages. It is possible to bind booklets fully automatically by means of wire binding elements of any desired loop length L, width A and wire diameter D, if required, and in a loop number corresponding to the maximum booklet length to be processed. A conversion or adaptation of the device for binding is not required. It is possible to realize a binding of the booklet by single binding elements, which are equally spaced or different from each other, wherein a high binding speed is achieved by simultaneous bonding of the individual elements. Deformations of the on-demand wire binding elements are avoided by the automatic production and transport, so that the susceptibility to interference is significantly reduced compared to conventional devices.

Zur Verwendung gelangen dabei Drähte, die sich durch unterschiedliche Farbgebungen unterscheiden und den vorgenannten Drahtdurchmessern zugeordnet werden können. Durch eine nicht näher dargestellte Drahtbiegevorrichtung 40 wird der Draht 1 in Schlaufenform gebracht, wobei die Schlaufenlänge L und der Schlaufenabstand A beliebig auf von der Steuerung 110 vorgegebenen Werte eingestellt werden können. Die Drahtbiegevorrichtung schneidet das entstandene Drahtbindeelement 41 nach Erreichen der von der Steuerelektronik 110 vorgegebenen Anzahl der Schlaufen ab.As shown in Figures 1 and 6, a wire supply 20 is provided with wire supply rollers 21, 22, and 23, each having wires (1) with different wire diameters (eg, having a diameter of 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm).
