Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Bogenanleger zum Vereinzeln von Bogen mit einem ersten und einem zweiten Bogentrenner, die jeweils einen Trennsauger aufnehmenden Trennsaugerträger und einen Transportsauger aufnehmenden Transportsaugerträger sowie eine zugeordnete Bogentrennerhöhenverstellung aufweisen.The invention relates to a sheet feeder for separating sheets with a first and a second sheet separator, each having a separating sucker receiving Trennsaugerträger and a transport suction receiving Transportportsaugerträger and an associated sheet separation height adjustment.

In Bogenanlegern (siehe z.B. DE 3919787 A) ist üblicherweise ein Trennsauger und Transportsauger aufweisender Bogentrenner vorgesehen. Der Antrieb der Trennsauger und der Transportsauger erfolgt mit Hilfe von Kurvenkoppelgetrieben. Dabei wird einem die Trennsauger aufnehmenden Trennsaugerträger eine zyklische Bewegung zwischen einer oberen und einer unteren Rastposition aufgeprägt. In der unteren Rastposition wird von den Trennsaugern der jeweils oberste Bogen eines Bogenstapels erfasst und durch die nachfolgende Bewegung in die obere Rastposition vereinzelt. In einer Übergabeposition wird der vereinzelte Bogen an die Transportsauger übergeben, die eine vorzugsweise translatorische Bewegung ausführen und den von den Transportsaugern vereinzelten Bogen zur dem Bogenanleger nachgeordneten bogenverarbeitenden Maschine transportieren.In sheet feeders (see, for example, DE 3919787 A), a sheet separator having a vacuum cleaner and transport suction device is usually provided. The separation sucker and the transport suction device are driven by means of cam coupling gears. In this case, the separating sucker receiving Trennsaugerträger a cyclic movement between an upper and a lower detent position is impressed. In the lower detent position, the respective uppermost arc of a sheet stack is detected by the separating suckers and separated by the subsequent movement into the upper detent position. In a transfer position of the isolated sheet is transferred to the transport suction, which perform a preferably translational movement and transport the separated from the transport suction sheets to the sheet feeder downstream sheet processing machine.

Zur Realisierung der Bogentrennung und des Bogentransports sind Blasluftdüsen vorgesehen. Außerdem ist dem Bogentrenner eine Höhenstelleinrichtung zugeordnet.To realize the sheet separation and the sheet transport blowing air nozzles are provided. In addition, the sheet separator is assigned a height adjustment device.

Bei großformatigen Bogenanlegern ist es bekannt, in der Formatbreite zwei Bogentrenner nebeneinander anzuordnen sowie die Antriebe dieser Bogentrenner mechanisch zu koppeln und als funktionelle Einheit zu betreiben, wobei eine Höhenstelleinrichtung vorgesehen ist, die, initiiert durch eine Stapelabtastung, das Höhenniveau dieser Einheit beeinflusst.In the case of large-format sheet feeders, it is known to juxtapose two sheet separators in the format width and to mechanically couple the drives of these sheet separators and to operate them as a functional unit, wherein a height setting device is provided which, initiated by a stack scan, influences the height level of this unit.

Derartige Bogenanleger haben den Nachteil, dass aufgrund der starren Kopplung der Bogentrenner es nicht möglich ist, die einzelnen Bogentrenner unabhängig voneinander einzustellen und damit an das zur Verarbeitung gelangende Verarbeitungsgut sowie an die Form der Bogenstapel anzupassen, so dass diese Bogenanleger nur beschränkt einsetzbar sind.Such sheet feeder have the disadvantage that due to the rigid coupling of the sheet separator, it is not possible to set the individual sheet separators independently and thus adapt to the processing material to be processed and the shape of the sheet stack, so that these sheet feeders are used only limited.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen gattungsgemäßen Bogenanleger so zu verändern, dass die Universalität und die Effektivität der nachgeordneten Verarbeitungsmaschine erhöht wird.The object of the invention is to modify a generic sheet feeder so that the universality and the effectiveness of the downstream processing machine is increased.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch einen Bogenanleger nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.According to the invention the object is achieved by a sheet feeder according to claim 1.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ist es möglich, die Bogentrenner unabhängig voneinander dem zur Verarbeitung gelangenden Bogenmaterial und der Form des Bogenstapels anzupassen. Damit können auch großformatige Bogen unabhängig von der Ausbildung des Bogenstapels problemlos vereinzelt werden.The solution according to the invention makes it possible to adapt the sheet separators independently of one another to the sheet material that is to be processed and to the shape of the sheet pile. This also large format sheet can be separated easily regardless of the formation of the sheet pile.
