Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for forming stacks of certain and differing lengths of vertically aligned printed sheets, wherein the sheets are fed with a transport device in succession from a printing press of a stacking device and separated in this by means of separating device into stacks.
- the invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.
- Stacks of the type mentioned are also referred to by the person skilled in the art as bars and the stacking device as a bar extension.
- the formation of such stacks is intended in particular for offset and rotogravure printing presses.
- the formation of the stack takes place in the stacking device.
- the sheets to be stacked are fed via conveyor belts of the stacking device. In this, the printed sheets are pushed open standing on the bundle. During further processing, these printed sheets are removed, for example, in a saddle stitcher and perfect binder feeder. For example, book blocks are made from the printed sheets.
- the sheets to be stacked are produced, for example, in a rotary or digital printing press, which can be known to have a very high output. You can also switch very quickly from a production A to a production B. The changeover takes place, for example, with a plate change. In the stacking device then these productions must be separated exactly from each other. Stacks of copies from production A and production B are intolerable. The stacks should be sorted. It is thus a sorted separation between the stacks required. So far, this has usually been achieved only with a comparatively large amount of waste and also with a comparatively high changeover time between the productions. A high changeover time results especially when at the end of a production on the transport device still copies are available with which no more stack are formed could. These specimens were either treated as waste paper or they were ejected and subsequently placed by hand on a pallet. Until the beginning of the next production, manual intervention was required so far and a comparatively high changeover time could not be avoided.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method and a device of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned.
- the produced bars or stacks should be sorted.
- the invention is achieved in a generic method in that after a change of production still on the transport device located residual copies of the sheet of a previous production are counted with a counting device and formed from these remnants still stack with a different length of the stack of certain length of a certain number of remaining copies become.
- a predetermined stack is meant a stack which, for example, has a minimum length of 300 mm or a maximum length of 1200 mm. Such a standard stack enables preferably automatic palletizing on standardized pallets and suitable further processing.
- the device according to the invention has a copy counting device operatively connected to a control device, with which the number of remaining copies of a production can be determined and transmitted to the control device.
- a suitable computer subdivides this number in such a way that stacks of differing lengths can be optimally formed from these residual copies of the production.
- the inventive device 1 according to FIG. 1 a stacking device 2 with a separating device 15, which has a control device 6 and a transport device 4.
- a transport device 4 With the transport device 4 can according to FIG. 2a Sheet 8 in a scale flow S or occasionally the stacking device 2 are supplied.
- the printed sheets 8 are produced in a printing machine 3.
- this printing machine 3 is shown only schematically with a plate cylinder 30 and a blanket cylinder
- the printing machine 3 is preferably a rotary printing machine, but it may also be a digital printing machine.
- the printing press 3 enables a change from a production A to a production B and to further productions.
- the change can be done, for example, in a conventional manner with a plate change.
- Such a change is possible without interruption.
- the result is a printing-related waste of, for example, 20 to 50 copies.
- the printed sheets 8 and in the case of a production B printed sheet 9 (FIG. Fig. 2b ).
- the printed sheets 8 and 9 are used for example for the production of book blocks. But you can also for the production of other printed products, for example serve for the production of brochures and the like.
- the printed by the printing machine 3 sheets 8 and 9 are counted by a counter 7.
- the counting device 7 is embodied, for example, as a laser counting head and arranged, for example, in a rotary pickup system (not shown here).
- the number of counted sheets 8 and 9 are transmitted to the control device 6. Due to the mentioned count and the known length of the transport device 4, the number of located on the transport device 4 sheets 8 and 9 can be calculated in a simple manner.
- the control device 6 is thus at any time the number of sheets 8 and 9 known, which are located on the transport device 4.
- an outfeed belt 28 or another suitable discharge device with which faulty printed sheets 8 and 9 can be fed to a container 29.
- the printed sheets 8 and 9 are stacked in a conventional manner on a table 23.
- a thus formed stack 5 is relatively loose.
- the strapped stacks 5 are preferably automatically palletized or otherwise fed to a storage device.
- the stacks 5 In order that the stacks 5 can be suitably palletised and treated further, they must have a minimum length and must not exceed a maximum length.
- the pressing of the stacks and the delivery is on the EP 0 623 542 A , the EP 1 199 275 A and the EP 1 378 472 A pointed out, which are here for disclosure.
- the number of stacks 5, which are formed, for example, from the printed sheets 8 of a production A, can be very different. For a small production, this can be a few stacks 5, but for a large production, for example, a few hundred.
- the processing of the residual copies of a production A or B is essential.
- the remaining copies are the printed sheets 8 and 9, which are still after a production change on the transport device 4 or in the scale flow S.
- the number of these remnants is in Fig. 1 the sum of the copies x1 to x6 plus z.
- the copies x1 to x6 are each present in a number which results in a stack 5 with a certain length, for example 800 mm. With z the final copies are called, but would not give a stack of certain length. In the prior art methods, these specimens had to be processed or excreted by hand. It was also necessary to interrupt production.
- the control device 6 is aware of the respective number of residual copies of a production, for example of the production A or B.
- bars 5 ', 5 " Vietnamese are adjusted so that a residual stock z' again results in a specific stack, which is suitably strapped and palletized can.
- This adaptation is preferably carried out continuously with the aid of a suitable computer program, since it may still be necessary to remove specimens and thus change the stock of residual copies.
- FIG. 2a shows the stacking of a production A.
- a table 13 and a support of the stacking device 2 has already formed a loose stack 5.
- the stack 5 is supported on a pressing jaw 11 of a pressing device 10.
- a plate 14, for example, a wooden plate is arranged, which later serves for strapping.
- a second pressing jaw 12 is in this phase not used yet.
- the scale flow S moves continuously first horizontally in the direction of arrow 18 and after a deflection in the direction of the arrow 19 finally vertically downwards against the table 13.
- With 8 ' is the last copy or the last sheet of the production called A.
- a separator 15 with two fingers 16 and 17 is according to Fig. 2 shown in a rest position.
- the Fig. 2b shows an arrangement with printing sheet 9 a subsequent production B. These sheets 9 form a scale flow S2. The foremost copy is here designated 9 '.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 show a separation of production A from production B.
- the FIG. 3 shows the inlet of the last sheet 8 in the stack formed.
- the last sheet 8 ' is located in the range of pulleys 21 and 22 of the transport device 4, around which a band 20 is placed. As can be seen, this last sheet 8 'is transported vertically down until it rests with his waistband on the table 13. At this moment, now a Stosselement 23 is moved against the stack formed or against the last sheet 8 '.
- the drive for this purpose can be arbitrary, for example, the drive can be done via a control cylinder, not shown here.
- the band 20 consists of a plurality of mutually spaced subbands, between which the stub element 23 can reach through.
- the loosely resting on the table 13 printed sheet 8 are from the stub element 23 in the in Fig. 4 shifted position shown so that a free space 32 is created, through which now the separator 15 can enter from below as indicated by arrow 27.
- the stub element 23 is after the classification of the sheet 8 'back into the in Fig. 3 moved shown starting position.
- the separating device 15 is applied to the stack 5 'and supports it.
- the printing sheets 9 of the production B of the stacking device 2 are supplied, as shown in the Fig. 2d is shown. Through one of the fingers 16 and 17, a plate 14 (not shown here) can be inserted between them, thus compressing the stack 5 with the pressing device 10 and subsequently strapping it.
- the separator 15 is finally returned to the in Fig. 2a respectively.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Bildung von Stapeln bestimmter und abweichender Länge aus stehend aneinandergereihten Druckbogen, wobei die Druckbogen mit einer Transportvorrichtung hintereinander von einer Druckmaschine einer Stapelvorrichtung zugeführt und in dieser mittels Trennvorrichtung zu Stapeln getrennt werden.The invention relates to a method for forming stacks of certain and differing lengths of vertically aligned printed sheets, wherein the sheets are fed with a transport device in succession from a printing press of a stacking device and separated in this by means of separating device into stacks.
Die Erfindung betrifft zudem eine Einrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.
Stapel der genannten Art werden vom Fachmann auch als Stangen und die Stapelvorrichtung als Stangenausleger bezeichnet. Die Bildung solcher Stapel ist insbesondere bei Offset- wie auch Tiefdruck-Rotationsanlagen vorgesehen. Die Bildung der Stapel erfolgt in der Stapelvorrichtung. Die zu stapelnden Druckbogen werden über Transportbänder der Stapelvorrichtung zugeführt. In dieser werden die Druckbogen auf dem Bund stehend aufgestossen. Bei der Weiterverarbeitung werden diese Druckbogen beispielsweise in einem Sammelhefter- und Klebebinder-Anleger abgezogen. Aus den Druckbogen werden beispielsweise Buchblöcke hergestellt.Stacks of the type mentioned are also referred to by the person skilled in the art as bars and the stacking device as a bar extension. The formation of such stacks is intended in particular for offset and rotogravure printing presses. The formation of the stack takes place in the stacking device. The sheets to be stacked are fed via conveyor belts of the stacking device. In this, the printed sheets are pushed open standing on the bundle. During further processing, these printed sheets are removed, for example, in a saddle stitcher and perfect binder feeder. For example, book blocks are made from the printed sheets.
Im Stand der Technik sind durch die
Die zu stapelnden Druckbogen werden beispielsweise in einer Rotations- oder Digitaldruckmaschine hergestellt, die bekanntlich eine sehr hohe Leistung haben können. Sie können zudem sehr schnell von einer Produktion A auf eine Produktion B umgestellt werden. Das Umstellen erfolgt beispielsweise mit einem Plattenwechsel. In der Stapelvorrichtung müssen dann diese Produktionen genau voneinander getrennt werden. Stapel mit Exemplaren aus der Produktion A und der Produktion B sind nicht tolerierbar. Die Stapel sollen sortenrein sein. Es ist somit eine sortenreine Trennung zwischen den Stapeln erforderlich. Bisher war dies in der Regel nur mit einem vergleichsweise grossen Anfall an Makulatur und zudem mit einer vergleichsweise hohen Wechselzeit zwischen den Produktionen zu erreichen. Eine hohe Wechselzeit ergibt sich insbesondere dann, wenn am Ende einer Produktion auf der Transportvorrichtung noch Exemplare vorhanden sind, mit denen kein Stapel mehr gebildet werden den konnte. Diese Exemplare wurden entweder als Makulatur behandelt oder sie wurden ausgeschleust und nachträglich von Hand auf eine Palette gelegt. Bis zum Beginn der nächsten Produktion waren somit bisher Handeingriffe erforderlich und eine vergleichsweise hohe Wechselzeit war nicht zu vermeiden.The sheets to be stacked are produced, for example, in a rotary or digital printing press, which can be known to have a very high output. You can also switch very quickly from a production A to a production B. The changeover takes place, for example, with a plate change. In the stacking device then these productions must be separated exactly from each other. Stacks of copies from production A and production B are intolerable. The stacks should be sorted. It is thus a sorted separation between the stacks required. So far, this has usually been achieved only with a comparatively large amount of waste and also with a comparatively high changeover time between the productions. A high changeover time results especially when at the end of a production on the transport device still copies are available with which no more stack are formed could. These specimens were either treated as waste paper or they were ejected and subsequently placed by hand on a pallet. Until the beginning of the next production, manual intervention was required so far and a comparatively high changeover time could not be avoided.
Es werden zunehmend auch kleine Auflagen, beispielweise von Taschenbüchern und anderen Büchern oder Druckerzeugnissen gedruckt. Hierbei bestehen in der Regel besonders hohe Anforderungen an eine kostengünstige Herstellung. Um die Kosten zu senken, ist es bei kleinen Auflagen besonders wichtig, unnötige Makulatur und Handarbeit zu vermeiden.It is increasingly printed even small editions, for example, from paperbacks and other books or printed matter. In this case, there are usually very high demands on cost-effective production. In order to reduce costs, it is particularly important for small print runs to avoid unnecessary waste and manual labor.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung der genannten Art zu schaffen, welche die genannten Nachteile vermeidet. Insbesondere soll es möglich sein, Makulatur wesentlich zu reduzieren und im Wesentlichen ohne Wechselzeit von einer Produktion A auf eine Produktion B überzugehen. Die produzierten Stangen bzw. Stapel sollen sortenrein sein.The invention has for its object to provide a method and a device of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned. In particular, it should be possible to substantially reduce waste and to move from a production A to a production B essentially without changeover time. The produced bars or stacks should be sorted.
Die Erfindung ist bei einem gattungsgemässen Verfahren dadurch gelöst, dass nach einem Produktionswechsel noch auf der Transportvorrichtung befindliche Restexemplare der Druckbogen einer vorhergehenden produktion mit einer Zählvorrichtung gezählt werden und aus diesen Restexemplaren noch Stapel mit einer von den Stapeln bestimmter Länge abweichenden Länge einer bestimmten Anzahl Restexemplare gebildet werden.
Unter einem vorbestimmten Stapel wird ein Stapel verstanden, der beilspielsweise eine minimale Länge von 300 mm oder eine maximale Länge von 1200 mm aufweist. Ein solcher Standardstapel ermöglicht eine vorzugsweise automatische Palettierung auf genormten Paletten und eine geeignete Weiterverarbeitung.The invention is achieved in a generic method in that after a change of production still on the transport device located residual copies of the sheet of a previous production are counted with a counting device and formed from these remnants still stack with a different length of the stack of certain length of a certain number of remaining copies become.
By a predetermined stack is meant a stack which, for example, has a minimum length of 300 mm or a maximum length of 1200 mm. Such a standard stack enables preferably automatic palletizing on standardized pallets and suitable further processing.
Beim erfindungsgemässen Verfahren wird vermieden, dass am Ende einer Produktion ein Rest von Druckbogen vorliegt, der nicht mehr automatisch resp. durch manuellen Eingriff zu einem vorbestimmten Stapel verarbeitet werden kann. Zudem kann unmittelbar von der Produktion A auf die Produktion B übergegangen werden. Als Makulatur fällt lediglich noch die druckbedingte Umschaltmakulatur an, die aber in der Regel nur wenige Exemplare umfasst.In the method according to the invention it is avoided that at the end of a production there is a remainder of the printed sheet which no longer responds automatically. can be processed by manual intervention to a predetermined stack. In addition, it is possible to switch directly from production A to production B. As waste only the pressure-related switchover waste accumulates, but usually only a few copies.
Die erfindungsgemässe Einrichtung weist eine mit einer Steuervorrichtung wirkverbundene Exemplarzählvorrichtung auf, mit welcher die Anzahl Restexemplare einer Produktion ermittelt und der Steuervorrichtung übermittelt werden können. Ein geeigneter Rechner unterteilt diese Anzahl so, dass in optimaler Weise aus diesen Restexemplaren der Produktion Stapel abweichender Länge gebildet werden können.The device according to the invention has a copy counting device operatively connected to a control device, with which the number of remaining copies of a production can be determined and transmitted to the control device. A suitable computer subdivides this number in such a way that stacks of differing lengths can be optimally formed from these residual copies of the production.

In der Stapelvorrichtung werden die Druckbogen 8 bzw. 9 in an sich bekannter Weise auf einem Tisch 23 gestapelt. Ein so gebildeter Stapel 5 ist vergleichsweise lose. Von den gestapelten Druckbogen 8 bzw. 9 wird jeweils eine bestimmte Anzahl abgetrennt, gepresst und umreift. Die umreiften Stapel 5 werden vorzugsweise automatisch palettiert oder sonst einer Lagervorrichtung zugeführt. Damit die Stapel 5 in geeigneter Weise palettiert und weiterbehandelt werden können, müssen diese eine minimale Länge aufweisen und dürfen eine maximale Länge nicht überschreiten. Bezüglich der Pressung der Stapel und der Auslage wird auf die

Beim erfindungsgemässen Verfahren ist der Steuervorrichtung 6 die jeweilige Anzahl der Restexemplare einer Produktion, beispielsweise der Produktion A oder B bekannt. Über die Steuerung 6 werden nun vorgesehene Stangen 5', 5"..... so angepasst, dass ein Restbestand z' wieder einen bestimmten Stapel ergibt, der in geeigneter Weise umreift und palettiert werden kann. Diese Anpassung erfolg mit Hilfe eines geeigneten Rechenprogramms vorzugsweise laufend, da eventuell noch Exemplare ausgeschleust werden müssen und sich somit der Bestand an Restexemplaren verändert.In the method according to the invention, the
Nach den Exemplaren z kann bei einer Umstellung auf eine Produktion B druckbedingt Makulatur entstehen, die mit dem Ausschleusband 28 ausgeschleust wird. Die Umstellung der Produktion bzw. das Ende einer Produktion wird mit einem Signal der Druckmaschine 3 der Steuerung 6 signalisiert. Die Steuerung ist somit auch nach einer Produktionsumstellung laufend über den Restbestand der Produktion A informiert. Aufgrund der drucktechnisch bedingten Ausschleusung von Makulatur wird zwischen der Produktion A und der Produktion B möglicherweise eine kurze Lücke gebildet. Die Umstellung der Produktion erfolgt hier jedoch ohne Arbeitsunterbruch vergleichsweise kurzzeitig, beispielsweise innerhalb von wenigen Sekunden.After the copies z can result in a change to a production B due to printing waste, which is discharged with the
