In one embodiment, the former is arranged in parallel but spaced from the straight running of the webs, so that the paths running on the former are previously guided over two turning bars.

Durch die DE 43 11 437 C2 sind Wendestangen offenbart, welche mit beiden Enden bewegbar auf Führungen gelagert sind. Die Bewegung der beiden Enden erfolgt zumBy the DE 43 11 437 C2 turner bars are disclosed, which are movably mounted with both ends on guides. The movement of the two ends takes place for

Zwecke des Verkippens gegen die Einlaufrichtung in entgegengesetzter Richtung, so dass die Lage der Wendestange im Ergebnis dieselbe, jedoch um 90° gegenüber der einlaufenden Bahn verkippt ist.The purpose of tilting against the direction of entry in the opposite direction, so that the position of the turning bar as a result is the same, but tilted by 90 ° relative to the incoming web.

Die WO 2004/074151 A1 betrifft eine Druckmaschine mit mehreren nacheinander von einer Bahn durchlaufenen, als I-Druckwerken ausgebildeten Druckeinheiten, wie sie typischer Weise in Illustrationsdruckmaschinen vorzufinden sind. Diesen I-Druckwerken schließt sich ein sog. Überbau mit Längsschneideinrichtung, zwei Wendedecks, zwei Längsregistervorrichtungen sowie ein Falztrichter an.The WO 2004/074151 A1 relates to a printing press with a plurality of successively traversed by a web, designed as I-printing units printing units, as they are typically found in commercial printing presses. This I-printing works is followed by a so-called superstructure with longitudinal cutting device, two turning corners, two longitudinal register devices and a former.

Durch die DE 101 35 773 A1 ist eine Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine mit einem Druckturm zum Bedrucken einer Bahn offenbart, welche auf dem Bahnweg ggf. eine Längsschneideinrichtung, Wende- und Registereinrichtungen, z. B. eine Längsregisterwalze, einen Falztrichter und ein Falzwerk aufweist. Vor dem Falztrichter kann die Bahn mit einer in einer anderen Druckeinheit bedruckten Bahn zusammen geführt werden.By the DE 101 35 773 A1 discloses a web-fed rotary printing press with a printing tower for printing a web, which on the web path, if necessary, a longitudinal cutting device, turning and register devices, for. B. has a longitudinal register roller, a former and a folding unit. Before the former, the web can be brought together with a printed in another printing unit web.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Oberbau einer Druckmaschine sowie eine Druckmaschine mit mindestens zwei in wenigstens einer Druckeinheit bedruckten Bahnen für die Inline-Produktion sehr variabler Produkte zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a superstructure of a printing press and a printing machine with at least two printed in at least one printing unit webs for the inline production of highly variable products.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 bzw. 28, 29 oder 30 gelöst.The object is achieved by the features of claim 1 or 28, 29 or 30.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass eine sehr hohe Flexibilität beim Mischen der Produkte bei geringem Aufwand erreichbar ist. Durch möglichst kurze Bahnführungen ist gleichzeitig eine hohe Sicherheit und Genauigkeit gegeben. Ein Längsregistern erfolgt über eine lediglich teilbahnbreite Anordnung bevor sie auf kürzestem Weg über dem Falztrichter zugeordnete Leitwalzen geführt und ohne weitere Umlenkung störungs- und flatterfrei dem Falzaufbau zugeführt werden. Die Ausführung als beidseitig Leitelemente aufweisende Baueinheit (bzw. Aggregat) lässt modulare Bauweisen, z. B. zwei übereinander angeordnete Wendetürme und/oder zwei nebeneinander angeordnete Wendetürme (mit jeweils beidseitig angeordneten Leitelementen) zu.The advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that a very high flexibility in mixing the products can be achieved with little effort. The shortest possible web guides ensure high safety and accuracy at the same time.

B. two superimposed turning towers and / or two adjacently arranged turning towers (with each arranged on both sides guide elements).

Von besonderem Vorteil ist die Ausführung des Wendeturms mit je möglicher bzw. maximal vorgesehner Teilbahn ein Paar von zwei zueinander um 90° gekreuzter, jeweils um 45° bzw. 325° zur einlaufenden Teilbahn geneigter Wendestangen vorzusehen. In besonderer Ausführung werden die Teilbahnen erst nach dem Wendeturm in einem teilbahnbreiten Registerturm zueinander ins Längsregister gebracht. Dort sind dann mindestens t-1, in einer vorteilhaften Ausführung t Längsregistereinrichtungen vorgesehen, wenn t die maximal in diesem Oberbau zur Verarbeitung vorgesehene Anzahl von Teilbahnen darstellt.Of particular advantage is the execution of the turning tower with each possible or maximum vorgesehner partial web a pair of two mutually crossed by 90 °, each provided by 45 ° or 325 ° to the incoming part web inclined turning bars.

In einer Druckmaschine sind durch zumindest zwei Druckeinheiten 01 zumindest zwei Bahnen B1; B2, im allgemeinen m Bahnen B1; B2, bedruckbar und einer Weiterverarbeitung zuführbar. Die Bahnen B1; B2 können nach dem Bedrucken in Längsschneideinrichtungen 09 zu maximal t Teilbahnen B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2 längs geschnitten werden (Fig. 4) bevor sie über mindestens einen Wendeturm 02 und einen Trichter- oder Falzaufbau 03 beispielsweise zumindest einem Falzapparat 04 zugeführt werden. Damit sich die einzelnen Teilbahnen B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2 im korrekten Längs- bzw. Schnittregister zueinander befinden, durchlaufen vorzugsweise sämtliche t Teilbahnen B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2, zumindest jedoch t-1 Teilbahnen B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2, auf ihrem Weg von den Druckeinheiten 01 bis zum Trichteraufbau 03 jeweils eine Längsregistereinrichtung 08. Vorzugsweise sind die Längsregistereinrichtungen 08 wie unten näher ausgeführt stromabwärts des Wendeturms 02 angeordnet.In a printing press, at least two webs B1; B2, generally m lanes B1; B2, printable and ready for further processing. The tracks B1; B2 can after printing in longitudinal cutting devices 09 to a maximum of t partial webs B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2 are cut longitudinally ( Fig. 4 ) before they are supplied via at least one turning tower 02 and a funnel or folding structure 03, for example, at least one folding apparatus 04. So that the individual partial webs B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2 are in the correct longitudinal or cutting register to each other, preferably pass through all t sub-webs B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2, but at least t-1 sub-webs B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2, on their way from the printing units 01 to the hopper assembly 03 each have a longitudinal register device 08. Preferably, the longitudinal register means 08 as described below, downstream of the turning tower 02 are arranged.

Die beiden Bahnen B1; B2 durchlaufen in Fig. 1 Druckeinheiten 01 auf einer Seite des Falzaufbaus 03 und werden dem Wendeturm 02 von dieser Seite zugeführt. Nach Fig. 1 wird eine Bahn B1 beidseitig mehrfarbig, hier vierfarbig, bedruckt, während die andere Bahn B2 beidseitig einfarbig bedruckt wird. Die Druckeinheiten 01, insbesondere die Druckwerkszylinder sind beispielsweise zum Bedrucken von doppelt breiten Bahnen B1; B2, d. h. mit einer Breite von vier nebeneinander stehend angeordneten Druck-, insbesondere Zeitungsseiten, ausgeführt und können jeweils zumindest einmal längs geschnitten werden.The two tracks B1; B2 go through in Fig. 1 Printing units 01 on one side of the folding assembly 03 and are supplied to the turning tower 02 from this side. To Fig. 1 a web B1 is printed on both sides multicolored, here four-color, while the other web B2 is printed on both sides monochrome. The printing units 01, in particular the printing unit cylinders are for example for printing double-width webs B1; B2, ie with a width of four juxtaposed arranged pressure, especially newspaper pages, executed and can be cut longitudinally at least once.

Bei herkömmlichen Wendtürmen 02 können, insbesondere aus einer Richtung, auf einen Wendeturm 02 auflaufende Bahnen B1; B2 bzw. Teilbahnen B1.x; B2.x nur unter großem Aufwand in unterschiedliche Reihenfolge gebracht, d.h. gemischt werden.In conventional turning towers 02 can, in particular from one direction, aufaufende on a turning tower 02 tracks B1; B2 or partial webs B1.x; B2.x placed in different order only with great effort, i. be mixed.

Der Trichteraufbau 03 ist in einem 90°-Winkel zu einer Geradeausführung der Bahnen B1; B2 in der Druckmaschine orientiert, so dass sämtliche Bahnen B1; B2 (und Teilbahnen B1.x; B2.x) eine ungeradzahlige Anzahl, insbesondere lediglich einmal, von unten näher beschriebenen Wendestangen 06 umlaufen müssen. Der Trichteraufbau 03 ist somit derart orientiert, dass eine in die Horizontale projizierte Transportrichtung T2 einer auf den Trichteraufbau 03 zulaufenden Bahn B1; B2 im wesentlichen senkrecht zu einer in die Horizontale projizierten Transportrichtung T1 der Bahn B1; B2 zwischen der Druckeinheit 01 und dem Wendeturm 02 steht (Fig. 11). Die Teilbahnen B1.x; B2.x verlassen den Wendeturm 02 in einer Richtung quer zur Längsrichtung bzw. Längsachse der Druckmaschine, d. h. in eine Richtung seitlich aus der Seitengestellebene der Druckmaschine heraus.The hopper assembly 03 is at a 90 ° angle to a straight-ahead of the tracks B1; B2 oriented in the printing press, so that all webs B1; B2 (and partial paths B1.x; B2.x) an odd number, in particular only once, from below closer described turning bars 06 must circulate. The funnel structure 03 is thus oriented in such a way that a transport direction T2 projected in the horizontal direction of a web B1; B2 substantially perpendicular to a projected in the horizontal transport direction T1 of the web B1; B2 between the printing unit 01 and the turning tower 02 is ( Fig. 11 ). The partial webs B1.x; B2.x leave the turning tower 02 in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction or longitudinal axis of the printing press, ie in a direction laterally out of the side frame plane of the printing machine.

In den vorliegenden Beispielen werden dem mehrere übereinander angeordnete Wendestangen 06 aufweisenden Wendeturm 02 Teilbahnen B1.x; B2.x sowohl von der den Druckeinheiten 01 zugewandten als auch abgewandten Seite zugeführt. Hierzu wird z. B. eine der beiden Bahnen B1; B2 - bereits geschnitten (Fig. 4), oder noch ungeschnitten (nicht dargestellt) ― um die Gruppe von Wendestangen 06 des Wendeturms 02 herumgeführt.In the present examples, the turning tower 02 having several superposed turning bars 06 partial webs B1.x; B2.x fed both from the printing units 01 facing as well as the opposite side. For this purpose, z. B. one of the two webs B1; B2 - already cut ( Fig. 4 ), or still uncut (not shown) - led around the group of turning bars 06 of the turning tower 02.

Der Wendeturm 02 weist nun eine Gruppe von vertikal übereinander liegenden Wendestangen 06, insbesondere eine Gruppe übereinander liegender Paare von Wendestangen 06 auf, wobei jedes Paar eine um 45° und eine um 325° (-45°) zur Einlaufrichtung R der einlaufenden Bahn B1; B2 geneigte Wendestange 06a; 06b aufweist. D. h. die beiden Wendestangen 06a; 06b stehen senkrecht zueinander, x-förmig, angeordnet, wie es schematisch in Fig. 10 als Draufsicht dargestellt ist. Eine Anzahl n der Wendestangenpaare 06a, 06b des Wendeturms 02 hängt von der maximal beabsichtigten Anzahl von Teilbahnen t ab und entspricht dieser. Sollen aus den beiden Bahnen B1; B2 insgesamt lediglich vier Teilbahnen B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2 erzeugt werden, so sind es z.B. vier Wendestangenpaare 06a, 06b. Vorteilhaft für zwei doppeltbreite Bahnen B1; B2 ist es jedoch insgesamt sechs Wendestangenpaare 06a, 06b vorzusehen. So können beispielsweise nicht nur vier halbbreite (zwei Druckseiten) Teilbahnen B1.x; B2.x sondern auch viertelbreite, drittelbreite etc. Bahnen zum Produkt verarbeitet werden. Jeder Wendestange 06 ist beidseitig (in Einlaufrichtung R betrachtet) je eine Leitwalze 07, also bei n Wendestangenpaaren 06a, 06b eine Anzahl 2 * n, zugeordnet. Hier vierundzwanzig den sechs Wendestangenpaaren 06a, 06b zugeordnete Leitwalzen 07. Eine Teilbahn B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2 kann dann entweder direkt von ihrer Einlaufseite her kommend über eine Leitwalze 07 um eine Wendestange 06a (siehe Teilbahn B2.2 auf Ebene E6 in Fig. 4) oder aber zunächst durch den Wendeturm 02 hindurch und über eine weitere Leitwalze 07 um eine Wendestange 06b geführt werden. Im zweiten Fall wird die Teilbahn B2.2 zusätzlich zur 90°-Umlenkung rückgestürzt.The turning tower 02 now has a group of vertically superimposed turning bars 06, in particular a group of superimposed pairs of turning bars 06, each pair having a trajectory B1 at 45 ° and at 325 ° (-45 °) to the inlet direction R; B2 inclined turning bar 06a; 06b. Ie. the two turning bars 06a; 06b are perpendicular to each other, x-shaped, arranged as shown schematically in Fig. 10 is shown as a plan view. A number n of the turning bar pairs 06a, 06b of the turning tower 02 depends on the maximum intended number of partial runs t and corresponds to this. Should from the two tracks B1; B2 a total of only four partial webs B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2 are generated, it is eg four turning bar pairs 06a, 06b. Advantageous for two double-width webs B1; B2, however, it is to provide a total of six turning bar pairs 06a, 06b. For example, not only four half-width (two printed pages) partial webs B1.x; B2.x but also quarter-width, third-width etc. webs to the product are processed. Each turning bar 06 is on both sides (viewed in the inlet direction R) per a guide roller 07, ie at n turning bar pairs 06a, 06b a number 2 * n assigned. Here, twenty-four guide rolls 07 assigned to the six turning bar pairs 06a, 06b. A partial web B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2 can then either coming directly from its inlet side via a guide roller 07 to a turning bar 06a (see sub-web B2.2 on level E6 in Fig. 4 ) or first through the turning tower 02 and over a further guide roller 07 are guided around a turning bar 06b. In the second case, the partial web B2.2 is additionally toppled in addition to the 90 ° deflection.

Der Wendeturm 02 ist vorzugsweise mit zur Wendung einfachbreiter Teilbahnen B1.x; B2.x ausgeführten Wendestangen 06a; 06b ausgeführt. Als Wendeturm 02 wird hier eine Baueinheit bzw. ein Aggregat verstanden, welche bzw. welches einreihig lediglich eine Gruppe übereinander angeordnete Wendestangen 06a; 06b bzw. Wendestangenpaare 06a, 06b mit zugeordneten Leitwalzen 07 ― insbesondere als Modul in einem gemeinsamen Rahmenteil - aufweist. D. h. das Aggregat weist vorteilhaft keine nebeneinander angeordneten sondern nur übereinander angeordnete Wendestangen 06a; 06b ― mit abwechselnd unterschiedlicher Ausrichtung gegenüber der Einlaufrichtung R - auf. Auf diese Weise ist eine unmittelbare Zuordnung der beidseitig angeordneten Leitwalzen 07 gegeben. In einer Variante kann der Wendeturm 02 zusätzlich auch die zugeordneten Längsschneideeinrichtungen 09 und/oder die Zugwalzen 11 und/oder die weiteren Leitwalzen 12 umfassen, welche dann jeweils der Baueinheit angehören. Zwei in Längsrichtung der Druckmaschine nebeneinander angeordnete Gruppen von Wendestangen 06 wären in diesem Sinne jedoch in zwei nebeneinander angeordneten Wendetürmen 02 angeordnet, welche jeweils beidseitig die beschriebenen Elemente wie Leitwalzen 07 und ggf. 12 sowie ggf. zugeordnete Längsschneideinrichtungen 09 aufweisen.Turning tower 02 is preferably provided with partial webs B1.x of simple width for turning. B2.x running turning bars 06a; 06b executed. As turning tower 02 is understood here a structural unit or an aggregate, which or which einreihig only one group superposed turning bars 06a; 06b or turning bar pairs 06a, 06b with associated guide rollers 07 - in particular as a module in a common frame part - has. Ie. the aggregate advantageously has no turning bars 06a arranged next to one another but only one above the other; 06b - with alternately different orientation with respect to the inlet direction R - on. In this way, an immediate assignment of the guide rollers 07 arranged on both sides is given. In a variant, the turning tower 02 may additionally also include the associated longitudinal cutting devices 09 and / or the draw rollers 11 and / or the further guide rollers 12, which then each belong to the assembly. However, two groups of turning bars 06 arranged next to one another in the longitudinal direction of the printing press would be arranged in two adjacent turning towers 02, which on both sides have the described elements such as guide rolls 07 and possibly 12 and optionally associated longitudinal cutting means 09.

Vorzugsweise sind mindestens zwei, insbesondere sämtliche, Wendestangen 06 im Gestell der Baueinheit derart bewegbar angeordnet, dass sie in einer Ausführung, insbesondere zur Verarbeitung von variablen Bahnbreiten, in einer Richtung q quer zu einlaufenden Teilbahnen B1.x bis B2.x, insbesondere über eine Wegstrecke von mindestens einer Teilbahnbreite, bewegbar sind (schematisch mit Doppelpfeil q angedeutet in Fig. 11). In anderer Ausführung, insbesondere wenn räumlich variabel auf den Trichteraufbau 03 geführt werden soll, sind mindestens zwei, insbesondere sämtliche Wendestangen 06 des Wendeturms 03 in einer Richtung I entlang der Einlaufrichtung R der einlaufenden Teilbahnen B1.x bis B2.x bewegbar (schematisch mit Doppelpfeil I angedeutet in Fig. 11). Das Bewegen kann jeweils manuell oder vorteilhaft durch Antriebe in Abhängigkeit des geplanten Produktes erfolgen. Die Richtung I verläuft hier parallel zur Richtung R und/oder zur Transportrichtung T1, die Richtung r senkrecht hierzu bzw. parallel zur Transportrichtung T2.Preferably, at least two, in particular all, turning bars 06 are arranged movably in the frame of the assembly in such a way that in one embodiment, in particular for processing variable web widths, in a direction q transverse to incoming partial webs B1.x to B2.x, in particular over a distance of at least one partial web width, are movable (schematically indicated by double arrow q in Fig. 11 ). In another embodiment, in particular when spatially variable is to be performed on the funnel assembly 03, at least two, in particular all turning bars 06 of the turning tower 03 in a direction I along the inlet direction R of the incoming part tracks B1.x to B2.x movable (schematically with double arrow I indicated in Fig. 11 ). The movement can be done either manually or advantageously by drives depending on the planned product. The direction I runs here parallel to the direction R and / or to the transport direction T1, the direction r perpendicular thereto or parallel to the transport direction T2.

Für eine Variante, dass im Zusammenspiel mit dem unten beschriebenen Registerturm 05 (Fig. 5) lediglich eine der Anzahl t der Teilbahnen B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2 entsprechende Anzahl von Wendestangen 06 vorgesehen sind, sind vorteilhaft mindestens zwei der Wendestangen 06, insbesondere alle, in ihre Neigung zur Längsachse der Druckmaschine um 90° veränderbar im Wendeturm 02 gelagert, d. h. aus einer Richtung betrachtet ist die betreffende Wendestange 06 einmal um 45° und in anderer Betriebsstellung um ―45° (325°) gegen die Längsachse geneigt.For a variant that, in conjunction with the register tower 05 described below (FIG. Fig. 5 ) only one of the number t of the partial webs B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2 corresponding number of turning bars 06 are provided, are advantageous at least two of the turning bars 06, in particular all, stored in its inclination to the longitudinal axis of the printing press by 90 ° changeable in the turning tower 02, ie viewed from one direction, the turning bar in question 06 once 45 ° and inclined in another operating position by -45 ° (325 °) against the longitudinal axis.

Im Ausführungsbeispiel (Fig. 4) laufen die beiden Bahnen B1; B2 aus Fig. 1 (linke Seite) aus einer Einlaufrichtung R auf den Wendeturm 02 zu, werden jeweils an einer Längsschneideinrichtung 09 in zwei oder mehr Teilbahnen B1.x; B2.x geschnitten und umlaufen Zugwalzen 11. Die Längsschneideeinrichtung 09 kann in nicht dargestellter Ausführung auch eine Einheit zusammen mit der Zugwalze 11 bilden. Die Teilbahnen B2.1; B2.2 einer der Bahnen B2 werden nun von der Seite der Einlaufrichtung R dem Wendeturm 02, und die Teilbahnen B1.1; B1.2 der anderen Bahn B1 von der anderen, gegenüberliegenden Seite dem Wendeturm 02 zugeführt.In the embodiment ( Fig. 4 ) run the two lanes B1; B2 off Fig. 1 (Left side) from an inlet direction R to the turning tower 02, are each at a longitudinal cutting device 09 in two or more partial webs B1.x; B2.x cut and rotate draw rollers 11. The longitudinal cutting device 09 may also form a unit together with the draw roller 11 in a non-illustrated embodiment. The partial webs B2.1; B2.2 one of the tracks B2 are now from the side of the inlet direction R the turning tower 02, and the partial webs B1.1; B1.2 of the other track B1 supplied from the other, opposite side of the turning tower 02.

Hierzu werden die Teilbahnen B1.1; B1.2 beispielsweise über eine oder mehrere weitere Leitwalzen 12 um die Gruppe von Wendestangenpaaren 06a, 06b herum und über zwei Leitwalzen 07 verschiedenen Ebenen E1 bis E6 den Wendestangen 06a; 06b zugeführt. Die verschiedenen möglichen Wege der Teilbahnen B1.1; B1.2 zu den verschiedene Ebenen E1 bis E6 sind durch dünne Striche angedeutet. Hervorgehoben ist beispielhaft eine Führung, wobei eine Teilbahn B1.1 auf die Ebene E2 und die andere auf die Ebene E4 geführt wird.For this purpose, the partial webs B1.1; B1.2, for example via one or more further guide rollers 12 around the group of turning bar pairs 06a, 06b around and over two guide rollers 07 different levels E1 to E6 the turning bars 06a; 06b supplied. The different possible paths of the sub-webs B1.1; B1.2 to the different levels E1 to E6 are indicated by thin lines. A guide is emphasized by way of example, with one partial lane B1.1 being guided to the plane E2 and the other to the plane E4.

Die Teilbahnen B2.1; B2.2 werden über eine oder mehrere weitere Leitwalzen 12 von der Seite der der Bahn B2 zugeordneten Druckeinheit 01 her zwei anderen Leitwalzen 07 verschiedener Ebenen E1 bis E6 zugeführt. Dies gilt für jede der Teilbahnen B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2. Die verschiedenen möglichen Wege der Teilbahnen B2.1; B2.2 zu den verschiedene Ebenen E1 bis E6 sind wieder durch Striche angedeutet. Stärker hervorgehoben ist beispielhaft eine Führung, wobei eine Teilbahn B2.1 auf die Ebene E3 und die andere Teilbahn B2.2 auf die Ebene E6 geführt wird. Am Beispiel der Teilbahn B2.2 ist die o. g., für alle Ebenen E1 bis E6 realisierbare Führung dargestellt, wobei die Teilbahn B2.2 rückgestürzt den Wendeturm 02 verlässt. Hierzu wird die Teilbahn B2.2 über die andere Seite des Wendeturmes 02 und die zweite Wendestange 06b des Paares geführt. Nach dem Durchlaufen des Wendeturmes 02 können die Teilbahnen B1.1; B2.2; B1.2; B2.1 zu einem oder zu zwei Strängen zusammengefasst über eine oder über zwei Falztrichter 13 des Falzaufbaus geführt werden. Durch das "Herumführen" der Bahn B2 bzw. der Teilbahnen B2.1; B2.2 und den Eintritt in den Wendeturm 02 von der anderen Seite ist eine hohe Variabilität im Mischen der Teilbahnen B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2 bei sehr geringer Bauhöhe und einem verminderten Aufwand an Wendungen geschaffen.The partial webs B2.1; B2.2, two other guide rollers 07 of different planes E1 to E6 are fed via one or more further guide rollers 12 from the side of the printing unit 01 assigned to the web B2. This applies to each of the sub-webs B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2. The different possible paths of the sub-webs B2.1; B2.2 to the different levels E1 to E6 are again indicated by dashes. Stronger emphasis is exemplified a guide, wherein a sub-web B2.1 is guided to the plane E3 and the other sub-web B2.2 on the plane E6. Using the example of sub-web B2.2, the above-mentioned guide, which can be realized for all planes E1 to E6, is shown, wherein sub-web B2.2 leaves the reversing tower 02 in a reverse fall. For this purpose, the partial web B2.2 is guided over the other side of the turning tower 02 and the second turning bar 06b of the pair. After passing through the turning tower 02, the partial webs B1.1; B2.2; B1.2; B2.1 to one or two strands summarized over one or two formers 13 of the folding structure are performed. By "moving around" the web B2 or the partial webs B2.1; B2.2 and the entry into the turning tower 02 from the other side is a high variability in the mixing of the partial webs B1.1; B1.2; B2.1; B2.2 created at a very low height and a reduced amount of turns.

Unter Ebene E1 ... E6 soll hier eine mögliche relative vertikale Lage einer den Wendeturm 02 verlassenden Teilbahn Bx.x verstanden werden, d. h. ein Wendestangenpaar 06, 06b definiert hier eine Ebene E1 ... E6.A plane E1... E6 is to be understood here as meaning a possible relative vertical position of a partial web Bx.x leaving the turning tower 02, ie a turning bar pair 06, 06b defines a plane E1.

Der Gruppe von Wendestangen 06 bzw. Wendestangenpaaren 06a, 06b sind Längsregistereinrichtungen 08 zugeordnet (Fig. 5), insbesondere nachgeordnet (s.u.). Eine Längsregistereinrichtung 08 weist wenigstens eine bewegbare, die zugeordnete Teilbahn B1.1 bis B2.2 aus einem ungestörten Bahnweg auslenkende und damit den Bahnweg verändernde Walze 17, z. B. Registerwalze 17, und vorzugsweise einen nicht dargestellten, fernbetätigbaren Stellantrieb zu deren Bewegung (Doppelfeil in Fig. 5) auf, welche mit 17 und 17' in ihren beiden Endlagen dargestellt ist. In vorteilhafter Ausführung weist die Längsregistereinrichtung 08 neben der bewegbaren Walze 17 eine gestellfest gelagerte Walze 18, z. B. eine Umlenkwalze 18, auf. Diese ist hier vorteilhaft als Messwalze zur Ermittlung der Bahnspannung mit entsprechenden Messzapfen ausgeführt. Ebenfalls dargestellt ist jeweils ein auf die Teilbahn B1.1...B2.2 gerichteter Messkopf 19 zur Längsregister- bzw. Schnittregisterdetektion (aufgedruckte Marke und/oder Druckbild(-ausschnitt)), welcher vorteilhaft auf den Umschlingungsbereich, d.h. eine flatterfreie Stelle, gerichtet ist. Die Anzahl k der Längsregistereinrichtungen 08 hängt von der Anzahl m der Bahnen B1; B2 und der maximalen Anzahl t der Teilbahnen B1.x; B2.x ab und sollte zumindest k = t ― m betragen. Vorteilhaft gilt jedoch k = t und/oder k = n, insbesondere k = t = n.

In ebenfalls nicht dargestellter Ausführung können in einer Wendeturmanordnung zwei Wendetürme 02 übereinander angeordnet sein wie sie beispielsweise für Druckmaschinen mit mehr Drucktürmen bzw. Druckeinheiten 01 und/oder mehr als zwei Bahnen B1; B2; B3; B4 vorteilhaft ist. Derartige Anordnungen sind exemplarisch in Fig. 1 strichliiert, in Fig. 2 und 3 durchgezogen dargestellt. In Fig. 1 ist beispielsweise ein weiterer Druckturm auf der anderen Seite des Wendeturms 02 bzw. der Wendetürme 02 angeordnet. In Fig.2 sich beiderseits der Wendetürme 02 Drucktürme für den beidseitigen Mehrfarbendruck mit jeweils zwei Druckeinheiten 01 dargestellt. Derartige Drucktürme können jedoch auch einseitig anstelle der durchgezogenen Druckeinheiten 01 aus Fig. 1 für die vorangehenden Ausführungsbeispiels vorgesehen sein. In Fig. 3 ist eine Anordnung dargestellt, welche in Richtung einer einlaufenden Bahn B1; B2; B3; B4 gesehen zwei hintereinander angeordnete Wendetürme 02 aufweist.

B. je aus Ober- und zusammen wirkenden Untermesser) ausgeführt, wobei beispielsweise das mittlere der drei (oder fünf oder sieben) Messereinheiten bzgl. der axialen Richtung ortsfest in einer Symmetrieebene einer mittig einlaufenden Bahn B1; B2, und die beiden (bzw. vier oder gar sechs) äußeren Messereinheiten jeweils rechts und links von der erstgenannten in axialer Richtung bewegbar angeordnet sind. Somit sind Schnitte halben Bahnbreiten unterschiedlicher Grundbahnbreite und zusätzlich von Teilbahnen von viertel Bahnbreiten bei unterschiedlichen Bahnbreiten möglich. Des weiteren kann hiermit eine Bahn B1; B2 (z.B. dreifach breite Bahn) bei abgestellter mittleren Messereinheit und entsprechend axial justierten seitlichen Messereinheiten auch gedrittelt werden.In an advantageous embodiment, the longitudinal cutting device 09 is therefore designed with at least three blade units juxtaposed in the axial direction (eg, upper and cooperating lower blades), wherein, for example, the middle of the three (or five or seven) blade units with respect to axial direction stationary in a plane of symmetry of a centrally incoming path B1; B2, and the two (or four or even six) outer blade units are each arranged to the right and left of the former in the axial direction movable. Thus, cuts half web widths of different basic web width and in addition of sub-webs of quarter web widths at different web widths are possible. Furthermore, hereby a web B1; B2 (e.g., triple wide web) also be divided into thirds with the middle knife unit and correspondingly axially adjusted side knife units in place.

Der dargestellte Wendeturm 02 ist für Druckmaschinen besonders geeignet, deren Produkt und Bahnbreite je Bahn ein ein- oder mehrmaliges Längsschneiden erlaubt oder fordert. Wie an den vorangehenden Beispielen entspricht die Breite der Bahn B1 bis B4 beispielsweise vier nebeneinander angeordneten Druckseiten. Die Bahn B1 bis B4 kann dann zu zwei 1/2-breiten, einer 1/2-breiten und zwei 1/4-breiten oder zu vier 1/4-breiten Teilbahnen geschnitten und im Wendeturm 02 gemischt werden. Ein Falztrichter 13 weist dann vorteilhafter Weise eine Breite von zwei Druckseiten, hier einer halben Bahn B1 bis B4 auf.The illustrated turning tower 02 is particularly suitable for printing machines whose product and web width per track allows or requires one or more longitudinal cutting. As in the preceding examples, the width of the webs B1 to B4 corresponds, for example, to four printed pages arranged side by side. The webs B1 to B4 can then be cut into two 1/2-wide, 1/2-wide and two 1/4-wide or four 1/4-wide partial webs and mixed in the turning tower 02. A former 13 then advantageously has a width of two printed pages, here half a web B1 to B4.

Auch ist der Wendeturm 02 vorteilhaft für Bahnen B1 bis B4 einsetzbar, deren Breite drei nebeneinander angeordneten Druckseiten entspricht. Die Bahn B1 bis B4 kann dann zu einer 1/3-breiten und einer 2/3 breiten Teilbahn oder aber in drei 1/3 breite Teilbahnen geschnitten und im Wendeturm 02 gemischt werden. Ein Falztrichter 13 weist dann vorteilhafter Weise eine Breite von zwei Druckseiten, hier einer 2/3-breiten Bahn B1 bis B4 auf.Also, the turning tower 02 is advantageously used for webs B1 to B4, whose width corresponds to three juxtaposed printed pages. The webs B1 to B4 can then be cut into a 1/3 wide and a 2/3 wide part web or else into three 1/3 wide part webs and mixed in the turning tower 02. A former 13 then advantageously has a width of two printed pages, here a 2/3-wide web B1 to B4.
