Zusammenfassung der ErfindungSummary of the invention

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt folglich die Aufgabe zu Grunde, die bekannten Verfahren und Anlagen zu verbessern.The present invention is therefore based on the object to improve the known methods and equipment.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren und ein Materialstück aus Pappe gemäß den angehängten unabhängigen Ansprüchen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen werden in den abhängigen Ansprüchen beschrieben.According to the invention this object is achieved by a method and a piece of cardboard material according to the appended independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are described in the dependent claims.

Für eine lückenlose Nachvollziehbarkeit des Warenstroms von Transportverpackungen sowie der automatischen Inhaltsidentifizierung ist ein innen liegender RFID-Tag innerhalb der Wellpappe bzw. zwischen den einzelnen Wellpappenbahnen vorgesehen. Hierfür muss das Tag während dem Produktionsprozess der Wellpappe an der Wellpappenanlage eingebracht werden. Die richtige Positionierung in Längs- sowie auch in Querrichtung ist ebenfalls wesentlich .For an uninterrupted traceability of the flow of goods of transport packaging as well as the automatic content identification an internal RFID tag is provided within the corrugated board or between the individual corrugated board webs. For this purpose, the tag must be introduced to the corrugator during the production process of the corrugated board. The correct positioning in the longitudinal as well as in the transverse direction is also essential.

Erfindungsgemäß wird ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Pappe bzw. einer Materialbahn aus Pappe bereitgestellt, wobei mindestens zwei Materiallagen miteinander verbunden werden und Informationsträger zwischen den mindestens zwei Materiallagen eingebracht werden ,wobei zumindest eine der außen liegenden Bahnen mit einer Markierung (X, Y) versehen wird, die auf den innen liegenden Informationsträger hinweist. Bevorzugt ist zumindest eine der Materiallagen eine einseitige Bahn, die durch eine einseitige Gruppe der Wellpappanlage erzeugt wurde.According to the invention, a method is provided for producing cardboard or a material web of cardboard, wherein at least two layers of material are joined together and information carriers are introduced between the at least two layers of material, wherein at least one of the outer webs is provided with a marking (X, Y) , which indicates the inside information carrier. Preferably, at least one of the layers of material is a one-sided web which has been produced by a single-sided group of the corrugated cardboard plant.

Die Informationsträger können auf eine die Informationsträger tragende Materiallage aufgebracht werden, bevor diese Materiallage mit einer weiteren, die Informationsträger bedeckenden Materiallage verbunden wird. Dies geschieht bevorzugt vor der Kaschierstelle und hinter dem Leimwerk.The information carriers can be applied to a material layer carrying the information carrier before this material layer is connected to a further material layer covering the information carrier. This is preferably done in front of the laminating point and behind the gluing unit.

Die Materialbahn wird nach der Verbindung aller Materiallagen in Querrichtung (X-Richtung) zerschnitten, wobei Querrichtung relativ zur Durchlaufrichtung zu betrachten ist, um die Materialbahn in Materialstücke zu vereinzeln, wobei die Informationsträger zuvor derart eingebracht werden, dass sich diese anschließend an vorbestimmten Positionen in den Materialstücken befinden. Hierzu ist insbesondere die Bahnlage und/oder Bahngeschwindigkeit und/oder Totzeit zwischen Aufbringung des Informationsträgers und Zerschneidung in Querrichtung zu berücksichtigen.The material web is cut after the connection of all layers of material in the transverse direction (X-direction), wherein transverse direction is to be considered relative to the direction of passage to separate the web into pieces of material, the information carrier previously introduced so that they are then at predetermined positions in the pieces of material are located. For this purpose, in particular the web position and / or web speed and / or dead time between application of the information carrier and fragmentation in the transverse direction must be considered.

Die Materiallagen werden während der Herstellung der Materialbahn in Längsrichtung (Y-Richtung) bewegt, wobei die Längsrichtung relativ zur Durchlaufrichtung zu betrachten ist, und die Informationsträger werden auf die tragende Materiallage an Positionen in Bezug auf die Längsausdehnung dieser Materiallage zeitlich gesteuert aufgebracht, unter Berücksichtigung von anschließend erfolgenden vorbestimmten Schnitten in Querrichtung (X-Richtung), des Abstandes der Position, an welcher die Querschnitte durchgeführt werden, von der Position, an welcher die Informationsträger aufgebracht werden, und von der Bewegung, welche die Materialbahn zwischen der Aufbringungsposition und der Querschneideposition durchgeführt.The layers of material are moved in the longitudinal direction (Y-direction) during the production of the material web, the longitudinal direction relative to the passage direction, and the information carriers are applied to the supporting material layer at positions with respect to the longitudinal extent of this material layer in a timely manner, taking into account subsequent predetermined cuts in the transverse direction (X-direction), the distance of the position at which the cross-sections are made, the position at which the information carriers are applied, and the movement which the web of material between the application position and the cross-cutting position carried out.

An der Aufbringungsposition ist ein Positionierungssystem mit einem Speicher für Informationsträger vorgesehen, damit die Informationsträger durch das Positionierungssystem kontinuierlich auf die tragende Materiallage, die an dem Positionierungssystem vorbeiläuft, aufgebracht werden können.At the application position, a positioning system is provided with a memory for information carrier, so that the information carrier can be applied by the positioning system continuously on the supporting material layer passing the positioning system.

Das Verfahren wird in einer Wellpappanlage mit einem Nassende und einem Trockenende durchgeführt. Als Nassende einer Wellpappanlage werden die einseitigen Gruppen und die Zusammenführung und Kaschierstelle aus Fig. 1 bezeichnet. Das Trockenende umfasst den Heiz- und Zugbereich sowie die Endverarbeitung.The process is carried out in a corrugator with a wet end and a dry end. As a wet end of a corrugated cardboard plant, the unilateral groups and the merging and laminating Fig. 1 designated. The dry end includes the heating and traction area as well as the finishing.

Die verwendete Wellpappanlage kann mindestens eine einseitige Gruppe, eine Zusammenführungsstelle, eine Kaschierstelle, einen Heiz- und Zugbereich und/oder eine Endverarbeitungsstelle aufweisen.The corrugated board used can have at least one single-sided group, a merge point, a laminating point, a heating and drawing area and / or a finishing point.

Die Informationsträger enthalten Einrichtungen, damit die Informationen mittels elektromagnetischer Strahlung, akustomagnetischer Strahlung, Radiofrequenzwellen und/oder Ultraschallwellen von dem Informationsträger ausgelesen werden können, insbesondere sind die Informationsträger RFID-Transponder oder EAS-Tags.The information carriers contain means so that the information can be read out from the information carrier by means of electromagnetic radiation, acoustomagnetic radiation, radio frequency waves and / or ultrasound waves, in particular the information carriers are RFID transponders or EAS tags.

Erfindungsgemäß ist zumindest eine der außen liegende Bahnen mit einer Markierung (X,Y) versehen, die auf einen innen liegenden Informationsträger hinweist. Eine solche Markierung kann z.B. eine farbliche Markierung, ein Label oder ein Inline-Druck sein.According to the invention, at least one of the outer webs is provided with a marking (X, Y), which points to an inside information carrier. Such a label may e.g. a color mark, a label or an inline printing.

Das Vorsehen einer Markierung hat den Vorteil, dass das Schnittmuster in Bezug auf den Informationsträger auf einfache Weise ausgerichtet werden kann. Ein sich kumulierender Versatz mit der Folge, dass einige Schnittmuster keinen Informationsträger aufweisen, wird vermieden, und der Informationsträger hat bei einer Verpackung, die aus dem Schnittmuster gebildet wird, stets dieselbe Position. Das Schnittmuster kann innerhalb der Wellpappanlage optimal ausgerichtet werden und auf die Weise Verschnitt verhindert werden. Außerdem kann die von außen sichtbare Markierung dazu dienen, dass ein automatischer RFID-Scanner den Ort des RFID-Tags präzise lokalisieren kann, so dass die Auslesesicherheit erhöht ist. Wenn also eine Verpackung zum Transport von Waren verwendet wird, hat dies entsprechende logistische Vorteile.The provision of a mark has the advantage that the cutting pattern can be aligned with respect to the information carrier in a simple manner. A cumulative offset with the consequence that some patterns have no information carrier is avoided, and the information carrier always has the same position in a package formed from the pattern. The pattern can be optimally aligned within the corrugator and thus prevent waste. In addition, the externally visible marking can be used so that an automatic RFID scanner can precisely locate the location of the RFID tag so that read-out safety is increased. So if a packaging is used to transport goods, this has corresponding logistical advantages.

Die Erfindung umfasst ebenfalls ein Materialstück aus Pappe, insbesondere aus Wellpappe, welches innerhalb der Materiallagen der Pappe bzw. Wellpappe einen Informationsträger enthält; wobei das Materialstück mit einer Maskierung (X, Y) versehen ist, die auf den innen liegenden Informationstrräger hinweist. Das Materialstück weist die Vorteile auf, die durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren erzielt werden, so können z.B. die Informationsträger eine Einrichtung enthalten, damit die Informationen mittels elektromagnetischer Strahlung, akustomagnetischer Strahlung, Radiofrequenzwellen und/oder Ultraschallwellen von dem Informationsträger ausgelesen werden können. Die Informationsträger können RFID-Transponder oder EAS-Tags sein.The invention also comprises a piece of cardboard material, in particular corrugated cardboard, which contains an information carrier within the material layers of the cardboard or corrugated board; wherein the piece of material is provided with a masking (X, Y), which points to the inside information carrier. The piece of material has the advantages achieved by the method according to the invention, e.g. the information carriers contain a device so that the information can be read out from the information carrier by means of electromagnetic radiation, acoustomagnetic radiation, radio frequency waves and / or ultrasound waves. The information carriers can be RFID transponders or EAS tags.

Es wird des weiteren eine Verpackung offenbart, welche teilweise oder vollständig aus Pappe, insbesondere Wellpappe besteht, wobei innerhalb der Pappe ein Informationsträger enthalten ist. Diese Verpackung weist die Vorteile auf, die aus einem der erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren resultieren oder aus dem Materialstück aus Pappe.There is further disclosed a package which consists partially or completely of cardboard, in particular corrugated cardboard, wherein an information carrier is contained within the cardboard. This packaging has the advantages that result from one of the methods according to the invention or from the piece of cardboard material.

Es wird weiterhin eine Anlage offenbart, die alle Aspekte des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ausführen kann und hierzu angepasste und geeignete Mittel aufweist. Alle obigen Ausführungen gelten analog.Furthermore, a system is disclosed which can carry out all aspects of the method according to the invention and has adapted and suitable means for this purpose. All the above statements apply analogously.

Ebenso wird ein System zur Aufbringung von Informationsträgern auf eine Materiallage offenbart, wobei das System mindestens ein Positionierungssystem aufweist, das derart innerhalb der Anlage angeordnet werden kann, dass die Informationsträger zwischen zwei Materiallagen eingebracht werden können.Likewise, a system for applying information carriers to a material layer is disclosed, wherein the system has at least one positioning system which can be arranged within the system such that the information carriers can be introduced between two material layers.

Das Positionierungssystem ist vorteilhafterweise mit einer Steuerungseinrichtung verbunden, welche geeignet ist, das Positionierungssystem derart zu steuern, dass sich die Informationsträger anschließend an vorbestimmten Positionen in den Materialstücken befinden.The positioning system is advantageously connected to a control device which is suitable for controlling the positioning system in such a way that the information carriers are subsequently located at predetermined positions in the material pieces.

Eine Steuerungseinrichtung steuert optional das Positionierungssystem für die Aufbringung der Informationsträger in Bezug auf die Längsrichtung (Y-Richtung) der Materiallage bzw. der einseitigen Bahn unter Berücksichtigung der Parameter Abstand des Positionierungssystems von der Querschneidevorrichtung, Art und Geschwindigkeit der Bewegung, welche die Materialbahn zwischen dem Positionierungssystem und der Querschneidevorrichtung durchgeführt, und/oder Geometrie der vorbestimmten Materialstücke.A control device optionally controls the positioning system for the application of the information carrier with respect to the longitudinal direction (Y direction) of the material layer or the single-sided web, taking into account the parameters distance of the positioning system from the cross-cutting device, type and speed of movement, which the material web between the Positioning system and the cross-cutting device performed, and / or geometry of the predetermined pieces of material.

Bevorzugt ist mindestens ein Sensor zur Messung der Geschwindigkeit der Materiaibahn zwischen dem Positionierungssystem und der Querschneidevorrichtung vorgesehen. Das Positionierungssystem kann einen Speicher für Informationsträger aufweisen, damit die Informationsträger durch das Positionierungssystem kontinuierlich auf eine tragende Materiallage bzw. eine einseitige Bahn aufgebracht werden können.Preferably, at least one sensor is provided for measuring the speed of the material track between the positioning system and the cross-cutting device. The positioning system may include a memory for information carrier, so that the information carrier can be applied by the positioning system continuously on a supporting material layer or a one-sided path.

Detaillierte Beschreibung der bevorzugten AusführungsformenDetailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

Fig. 2 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer einseitigen Gruppe. In einer Anlage zur Herstellung von Wellpappe kann es eine oder mehrere derartige einseitige Gruppen geben. Sie sind von ihrer Funktion und ihrem prinzipiellen Aufbau gleich. Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of a one-sided group. In a corrugated board manufacturing plant there may be one or more such unilateral groups. They are the same from their function and their basic structure.

Das Papier oder papierartige Ausgangsmaterial befindet sich auf Vorratsrollen 1. Die Vorratsrollen 1 sind stets paarweise angeordnet, wobei das Material von einer Rolle abgewickelt wird, während die andere Rolle als Ersatz bereitgehalten wird. Ist das Material einer Rolle erschöpft, so wird an der Stelle 2 auf die andere Rolle gespleißt, so dass die Materialzufuhr nicht abreißt. Von da aus wird das Papier in einen ersten Materialspeicher 3 geleitet. Hier wird Papier gespeichert, um die Verzögerung der Papierzufuhr, die beim Spleißen auf eine neue Rolle entsteht, zu kompensieren. Zur Regelung des Speicherinhalts im Speicher 3 können die Umlenkrollen rechts und links im Speicher aufeinander zu bewegt oder voneinander entfernt werden.The paper or paper-like starting material is located on supply rolls 1. The supply rolls 1 are always arranged in pairs, wherein the material is unwound from one roll while the other roll is kept in reserve. If the material of a roll is exhausted, it is spliced at the point 2 on the other role, so that the supply of material does not break off. From there, the paper is passed into a first material store 3 . Paper is stored here to compensate for the paper feed delay that occurs when splicing to a new roll. To regulate the memory contents in the memory 3 , the deflection rollers on the right and left in the memory can be moved towards each other or removed from each other.

Vom ersten Speicher 3 wird das Papier zu der Lagebeeinflussungsvorrichtung 4 geleitet. Das Papier wird nach der Lagebeeinflussungsvorrichtung 4 über Walzen geleitet, wo es erhitzt wird, insbesondere mit Walzen, die von innen mit heißem Wasserdampf gespeist werden. Zudem wird das Papier auf dem Weg angefeuchtet, damit es besser verformbar ist und sich zwei Papierlagen später leichter verbinden lassen.From the first memory 3 , the paper is guided to the position-influencing device 4 . The paper is passed after the attitude control device 4 over rollers, where it is heated, in particular with rollers, which are fed from the inside with hot water vapor. In addition, the paper is moistened on the way, so that it is more malleable and can be easier to connect two layers of paper later.

Dann wird die Bahn, die von einer Seite kommt, über eine Riffelwalze 5 geführt, wo sie in eine wellige Form gezwungen wird. Die Leimvorrichtung 6 trägt Leim auf diese Bahn auf. Von der anderen Seite kommt eine zweite Bahn, die dann mit der gewellten Bahn zu einer einseitigen Bahn verleimt wird.Then, the web coming from one side is passed over a corrugating roll 5 where it is forced into a wavy shape. The sizing device 6 applies glue to this web. From the other side comes a second track, which is then glued with the corrugated web to a one-sided path.

Die erzeugte einseitige Bahn wird auf die Brücke 8 befördert. Hier ist ein zweiter Vorrat, der so genannte Brückenvorrat 7 angeordnet. Er dient als Reserve für die weitere Herstellung. Beim Umspleißen von einer Vorratsrolle 1 auf eine andere wird üblicherweise die Herstellung der einseitigen Bahn verlangsamt, um ein sicheres und somit langsameres Anspleißen zu erlauben. Für diesen Zeitraum dient der Brückenvorrat 7 als Reserve, damit der Herstellungsprozess mit einer Geschwindigkeit von ca. 100 bis 400 Metern pro Minute weiterlaufen kann. Nach dem Wechsel auf eine neue Vorratsrolle 1 wird die Geschwindigkeit beim Erzeugen der einseitigen Bahn auf einen überdurchschnittlichen Wert angehoben, um den Brückenvorrat 7 wieder aufzufüllen.The generated unilateral web is conveyed to the bridge 8 . Here is a second supply, the so-called bridge supply 7 is arranged. He serves as a reserve for further production. When splicing from one supply roll 1 to another, usually the production of the single-sided web is slowed down to allow a secure and thus slower splicing. For this period, the bridge supply 7 serves as a reserve, so that the manufacturing process can continue at a speed of about 100 to 400 meters per minute. After changing to a new supply roll 1 , the speed when producing the single-sided sheet is raised to an above-average value in order to replenish the bridge supply 7 .

Fig. 3 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Zusammenführung, Kaschierstelle und eines Heiz- und Zugbereichs. Hierhin werden die eine oder mehrere einseitige Bahnen geleitet. Die Lagebeeinflussungsvorrichtungen 11, 12 regeln die Lage der einseitigen Bahnen sowie die benötigten Bahnspannungen. Von einer Decklagenvorratsrolle 9 wird die Decklage über einen Vorratsspeicher zur Lagebeeinflussungsvorrichtung 10 geleitet. Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of a merge, laminating and a heating and traction area. Here are the one or more one-sided paths passed. The position-influencing devices 11, 12 regulate the position of the single-sided webs as well as the required web tension. From a cover layer supply roll 9 , the cover layer is passed to the position-influencing device 10 via a supply store.

Nach den Lagebeeinflussungsvorrichtungen 10, 11, 12 werden die Bahnen über einen Vorheizer 13 und ein Leimwerk 14 zur Kaschierung 20 geleitet, wo die Bahnen zusammengefügt werden. Hier ist eine möglichst genaue Positionierung der Bahnen zueinander wünschenswert.After the attitude control devices 10, 11, 12 , the webs are passed via a preheater 13 and a gluing unit 14 to the lamination 20 , where the webs are joined together. Here the most accurate positioning of the webs to each other is desirable.

Vor der Kaschierung werden Informationsträger 26, z.B. RFID-Tags, durch das System 18 auf die einseitige Bahn 16 aufgebracht, bevor diese mit der Deckbahn 15 zusammengeführt wird. Bevorzugt werden die RFID-Tags 26 auf die Bahn 16 zwischen dem Leimwerk 14 und der Kaschierung 20 aufgebracht, da der frisch aufgetragene Leim die Anhaftung der Tags 26 unterstützt. Zum Aufbringen der Tags 26 können z.B. mechanische oder pneumatische Vorgänge ausgenutzt werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann das System zum Aufbringen von Tags 26 auch an den Positionen, die durch Bezugszeichen 19 angezeigt sind, zum Einsatz gebracht werden. Hierdurch wird ermöglicht, dass Tags 26 zwischen verschiedenen Lagen einer mehrlagigen Wellpappbahn eingebracht werden können.Prior to lamination, information carriers 26, such as RFID tags, are applied by the system 18 to the single-sided web 16 before it is merged with the cover web 15 . Preferably, the RFID tags 26 are applied to the web 16 between the gluing unit 14 and the liner 20 , since the freshly applied glue assists the adhesion of the tags 26 . For applying the tags 26 , for example, mechanical or pneumatic processes can be utilized. Alternatively or additionally, the system for applying tags 26 may also be used at the positions indicated by reference numeral 19 to be brought. This makes it possible for tags 26 to be introduced between different layers of a multi-ply corrugated cardboard web.

In Wellpappanlagen können mehrere Aufträge gleichzeitig gefertigt werden. Die Bahn kann durch einen Rill- und Schneidautomat 24 in Längsrichtung zerteilt werden. Die so aufgeteilten Seiten einer Bahn können dann unterschiedlich weiterverarbeitet werden. Es kann wünschenswert sein, dass jeweilige Endprodukte jeweils mit RFID-Tags 26 bestückt sind. Aus diesem Grund kann das System 18 so ausgelegt werden, dass es eine Mehrzahl von Aufbringköpfen umfasst, die unabhängig voneinander gesteuert werden können. Die Aufbringköpfe können dann unabhängig voneinander quer zur Durchlaufrichtung der Bahn verfahren werden und sie können in unterschiedlichen zeitlichen Abständen RFID-Tags 26 aufbringen.In corrugated cardboard plants several orders can be produced at the same time. The web can be cut by a creasing and cutting machine 24 in the longitudinal direction. The thus divided sides of a web can then be processed differently. It may be desirable that respective end products are each equipped with RFID tags 26 . For this reason, the system 18 can be designed to include a plurality of application heads that can be independently controlled. The application heads can then be moved independently of one another transversely to the passage direction of the web and they can apply RFID tags 26 at different time intervals.

In der Arbeitsvorbereitung sind alle erforderlichen Maße, wie z.B. die gesamte Kontur der späteren Kartonage bekannt. Dies betrifft alle erforderlichen Abmaße, Ausstanzungen, Rillungen, Grifftaschen usw. Diese Informationen werden dem Steuersystem übergeben und zur Positionierung der RFID-Tags 26 verwendet. Weiterhin muss noch durch die Arbeitsvorbereitung/Planung festgelegt werden, an welcher Position die RFID-Tags 26 innerhalb der Wellpappe zur Einbringung kommen sollen, wie beispielsweise in Bezug zu anderen Schnitt/Rillkanten bzw. zu einem Koordinatenbezugspunkt. Hierauf wird im Rahmen der Fig. 5 detaillierter eingegangen.In the work preparation, all required dimensions, such as the entire contour of the later cardboard packaging are known. This applies to all required dimensions, punches, creases, handle pockets, etc. This information is passed to the control system and used to position the RFID tags 26 . Furthermore, it must still be determined by the work preparation / planning at which position the RFID tags 26 are to come within the corrugated cardboard for introduction, such as with respect to other cut / crease edges or to a coordinate reference point. This will be part of the Fig. 5 detailed.

Das System 18 umfasst einem Speicher für eine ausreichende Anzahl von Tags und eine Positioniervorrichtung für den Aufbringkopf bzw. Köpfe. Diese Positioniervorrichtung ist in der Lage, jede beliebige Position quer zur Laufrichtung des Papiers anzufahren und so den Aufbringkopf in die gewünschte Position zur Bahnlage zu bringen.The system 18 includes a memory for a sufficient number of tags and a positioning device for the heads. This positioning device is able to move any position transverse to the direction of the paper and so bring the application head in the desired position to the web position.

Durch optionale zusätzliche Messungen der Bahnlagen und Breiten im Bereich der Zusammenführung, die bei den Lagebeeinflussungsvorrichtungen 10, 11, 12 installiert werden kann, sowie im Bereich des Rill- und Schneidautomaten 24 kann die erforderliche Position des RFID-Tags 26 genau bestimmt werden. Zur Hilfe können noch weitere Messsysteme zur Breiten-, Lagen-, Schrumpfbestimmung usw. oder aber eine Randbeschnitterfassung, die den Wegschnitt im Bereich des Rill- und Schneidautomaten charakterisiert, eingesetzt werden. Somit kann das Tag zielgenau vor der Kaschierung 20 eingebracht werden.By optional additional measurements of the web layers and widths in the area of the merger, which can be installed in the position-influencing devices 10, 11, 12 , as well as in the area of the creasing and cutting machine 24 , the required position of the RFID tag 26 can be precisely determined. For assistance, other measuring systems for width, layer, shrinkage determination, etc., or a border trim detection, which characterizes the cut in the field of creasing and cutting machines, can be used. Thus, the tag can be accurately placed in front of the lamination 20 .

Für die Lageposition des Tags in Längsrichtung kann wie folgt vorgegangen werden. Im Querschneider 25 wird die Bahn in Querrichtung entsprechend der benötigten Formatlänge für die Weiterverarbeitung zugeschnitten. Um das Tag 26 nun im vorderen Teil der Wellpappenanlage passend zu positionieren, muss der Einbringzeitpunkt so synchronisiert werden, dass er in Bezug zur Querschnittlinie am Querschneider 25 richtig zum Liegen kommt. Hierfür kann das Schnittsignal vom Querschneider verwendet werden. Dieses, im Zusammenhang mit einer Geschwindigkeitsberechnung oder aber Längenmessung der Ware, ermöglicht die Ermittlung des richtigen Einbringzeitpunktes des RFID-Tags 26. Die Geschwindigkeit der Bahn kann z.B. mit einem Geschwindigkeitsmessmittel 22 erfasst werden. Der Abstand zwischen dem System 18 und dem Querschneider 25 ist aus dem Anlagenaufbau bekannt. Gerade wenn eine besonders genaue Positionierung der RFID-Tags 26 erwünscht ist, sollte die tatsächliche, gegenwärtige Bahngeschwindigkeit bei der Steuerung des Systems 18 berücksichtigt werden. Bei Bahngeschwindigkeiten von ca. 100 bis 400 Metern pro Minute ist die Berücksichtigung von Bahngeschwindigkeitsschwankungen ein wichtiger Faktor.For the positional position of the tag in the longitudinal direction can proceed as follows. In the cross cutter 25 , the web is cut in the transverse direction according to the required format length for further processing. In order to properly position the day 26 in the front part of the corrugated cardboard plant, the introduction time must be synchronized so that it comes to rest correctly in relation to the cross-sectional line at the cross cutter 25 . For this purpose, the cutting signal can be used by the cross cutter. This, in connection with a speed calculation or length measurement of the goods, allows the determination of the correct insertion time of the RFID tag 26. The speed of the web can be detected, for example, with a speed measuring means 22 . The distance between the system 18 and the cross cutter 25 is known from the plant design. Even if particularly accurate positioning of the RFID tags 26 is desired, the actual, current web speed should be considered in the control of the system 18 . At web speeds of about 100 to 400 meters per minute, the consideration of web speed fluctuations is an important factor.

Es soll noch erwähnt werden, dass bei Auftragswechsel, d.h. bei Umstellung von der Fertigung auf eine neue Pappzielform, eine zeitrichtige Umschaltung der Einbringpositionen erforderlich sein kann. Dies ist bei der Steuerung des Systems 18 zu berücksichtigen.It should also be mentioned that when changing jobs, ie when switching from production to a new cardboard target shape, a timely changeover of the insertion positions may be required. This is to be considered in the control of the system 18 .

Weiterhin umfasst die Anlage einen Kurz-Querschneider 23. Dieser ermöglicht Ausschussstellen herauszuschneiden, insbesondere nach einem Formatwechsel oder aber bei Maschinenstillstand. Dieser Kurz-Querschneider 23 hat in der Regel eine andere Arbeitsperiodenlänge als die Formatlänge, so dass die dort herausgehauenen Stücke unter Umständen bei der Steuerung des Systems 18 zu berücksichtigen sind.Furthermore, the system includes a short cross cutter 23. This allows cut out rejects, especially after a format change or machine downtime. As a rule, this short cross cutter 23 has a different working period length than the format length, so that the pieces cut out there may possibly have to be taken into account in the control of the system 18 .

Nach der Kaschierung 20 wird die Bahn im Heiz- und Zugbereich 21 getrocknet. Umlaufende Bänder ziehen die Bahn durch diesen Bereich, dabei wird sie an Heizelementen vorbeigeleitet. Durch Einbringung von Wärme wird der Pappe Feuchtigkeit entzogen und sie wird getrocknet.After the lamination 20 , the web is dried in the heating and drawing area 21 . Circulating belts pull the web through this area, while it is guided past heating elements. By introducing heat, the cardboard is deprived of moisture and dried.

Fig. 4 ist eine schematische Darstellung einer Endverarbeitung. Die Bahngeschwindigkeit wird durch das Geschwindigkeitsmessmittel 22 erfasst. Die Bahn wird dann vom Kurz-Querschneider 23 weitergeleitet zum Rill- und Schneidautomat 24. Im Querschneider 25 wird die Bahn in Querrichtung auf gewünschte Abmessungen geschnitten und in ein Lager geleitet, das auf der rechten Seite der Fig. 4 schematisch dargestellt ist. Fig. 4 is a schematic representation of a final processing. The web speed is detected by the speed measuring means 22 . The web is then forwarded by the short cross cutter 23 to the creasing and cutting machine 24. In the cross cutter 25 , the web is cut transversely to desired dimensions and fed into a warehouse located on the right side of the Fig. 4 is shown schematically.

Fig. 5 zeigt ein Beispiel eines in Längs- und Querrichtung zugeschnittenen Wellpappbogens mit einem Informationsträger 26 gemäß der Erfindung, wobei in Längsrichtung Rillungen (spätere Faltlinien) eingearbeitet sind. Schnitte und Faltungen quer zur Durchlaufrichtung (CL) werden in der Endverarbeitung vorgenommen. Fig. 5 shows an example of a longitudinally and transversely cut Wellpappbogens with an information carrier 26 according to the invention, wherein in the longitudinal direction grooves (later fold lines) are incorporated. Cross-section cuts and folds (CL) are made in the finish.

Das Tag 26 wird in seiner Position durch seinen Abstand von der Achse in Durchlaufrichtung, also X-Koordinate, und durch seinen Abstand von der in Durchlaufrichtung hinteren Rohkante, die quer zur Durchlaufrichtung ist, also Y-Koordinate bestimmt. Der Fachmann kann selbstverständlich auch ein anderes geeignetes Koordinatensystem wählen. Bei einer solchen Positionsangabe ist zu berücksichtigen, dass in der Wellpappenanlage noch ein Randstreifen abgeschnitten wird, eine entsprechende Schrumpfung durch Trocknen entsteht und auch in der Weiterverarbeitung an allen vier Rohkanten der Formate noch etwas weggeschnitten wird. Dieses muss alles entsprechend berücksichtigt werden, so dass das RFID-Tag 26 nach der letztendlichen Bearbeitung an der richtigen Position zur angegebenen Referenzkanten- oder Rillposition zur Einbringung kommt. Vorteilhafterweise kann die gewünschte Position des RFID-Tags 26 durch einen Bediener der Anlage durch eine bedienungsfreundliche Maske, z.B. mit einer Anzeige ähnlich zu Fig. 5 , eingegeben bzw. geändert werden. Die Steuerung der Anlage kann ebenfalls so ausgelegt werden, dass gleichzeitig mit der Eingabe über einen herzustellenden Auftrag die Position für das RFID-Tag 26 mit übergeben wird.The tag 26 is determined in its position by its distance from the axis in the direction of passage, ie X-coordinate, and by its distance from the rear raw edge in the direction of passage, which is transverse to the direction of passage, ie Y-coordinate. Of course, the person skilled in the art can also choose another suitable coordinate system. With such a position indication, it has to be taken into account that in the corrugated cardboard plant another edge strip is cut off, a corresponding shrinkage is caused by drying and also in the further processing at all four raw edges of the formats is still slightly cut away. This must all be taken into account accordingly, so that the RFID tag 26 comes to the correct position after the final processing to the specified reference edge or groove position for insertion. Advantageously, the desired position of the RFID tag 26 by an operator of the system by a user-friendly mask, eg with a display similar to Fig. 5 , entered or changed. The control of the system can also be designed so that the position for the RFID tag 26 is transferred simultaneously with the input via a job to be produced.

Erfindungsgemäß wird zumindest eine der außen liegenden Bahnen 15 oder 17 mit einer Markierung versehen, die auf einen innen liegenden Informationsträger 26 hinweist. Solche Markierungen werden bevorzugt erst hinter dem Heiz- und Zugbereich 21 aufgebracht. Sie sollen später von außen sichtbar sein, daher kann es auch vorteilhaft sein, wenn sie erst im Rahmen der späteren Endverarbeitung aufgebracht werden. Wenn sie im Rahmen der Wellpappenfertigung aufgebracht werden, können für ihre Positionierung alle Informationen und Steuergrößen, die zur Positionierung der RFID-Tags 26 bereits vorhanden sind, in analoger Weise verwendet werden. So ist es z.B. möglich, die Markierungen synchronisiert zu der Aufbringung des RFID-Tags 26 zu positionieren.According to the invention, at least one of the outer webs 15 or 17 is provided with a marking which points to an inside information carrier 26 . Such markings are preferably applied only behind the heating and drawing area 21 . They should be visible from the outside later, so it may also be advantageous if they are applied only in the context of subsequent finishing. When applied as part of corrugated board production, all information and control variables already present for positioning the RFID tags 26 can be used in an analogous manner for their positioning. For example, it is possible to position the markers synchronized with the application of the RFID tag 26 .

Wie oben beschrieben und wie beispielsweise in Figur 5 zu sehen ist, wird zumindest eine der außen liegende Bahnen 15 oder 17 mit einer Markierung (X, Y) versehen, die auf die X- und Y-Position des innen liegenden Informationsträgers hinweist. Für ihre Positionierung können alle Informationen und Steuergrößen, die zur Positionierung der RFID-Tags 26 bereits vorhanden sind, in analoger Weise verwendet werden. So ist es z.B. möglich, die Markierungen synchronisiert zu der Aufbringung des RFID-Tags 26 zu positionieren.As described above and such as in FIG. 5 2, at least one of the outer panels 15 or 17 is provided with a mark (X, Y) indicative of the X and Y positions of the inner information carrier. For their positioning, all information and control variables that are already present for positioning the RFID tags 26 can be used in an analogous manner. For example, it is possible to position the markers synchronized with the application of the RFID tag 26 .

Das Vorsehen einer Markierung hat den Vorteil, dass das Schnittmuster in Bezug auf den Informationsträger auf einfache Weise ausgerichtet werden kann. Ein sich kumulierender Versatz mit der Folge, dass einige Schnittmuster keinen Infonnationsträger aufweisen, wird vermieden, und der Informationsträger hat bei einer Verpackung, die aus dem Schnittmuster gebildet wird, stets dieselbe Position. Das Schnittmuster kann innerhalb der Wellpappanlage optimal ausgerichtet werden und auf die Weise Verschnitt verhindert werden. Außerdem kann die von außen sichtbare Markierung dazu dienen, dass ein automatischer RFID-Scanner den Ort des RFID-Tags präzise lokalisieren kann, so dass die Auslesesicherheit erhöht ist. Wenn also eine Verpackung zum Transport von Waren verwendet wird, hat dies entsprechende logistische Vorteile.The provision of a mark has the advantage that the cutting pattern can be aligned with respect to the information carrier in a simple manner. A cumulative offset with the consequence that some patterns have no information carrier is avoided, and the information carrier always has the same position in a package formed from the pattern. The pattern can be optimally aligned within the corrugator and thus prevent waste. In addition, the externally visible marking can be used so that an automatic RFID scanner can precisely locate the location of the RFID tag so that read-out safety is increased. So if a packaging is used to transport goods, this has corresponding logistical advantages.
