Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for enveloping goods to be packaged with the method steps (a) feeding the goods to be packaged to a wrapping unit by means of a first feed unit, (b) cutting a pack blank from a material provided, (c) feeding the pack blank the wrapping unit by means of a second feeding unit, (d) combining the goods to be packaged and the packaging blank in the wrapping unit, and (e) wrapping the goods to be packaged with the packaging blank by the wrapping unit, wherein the good to be packaged and the packaging blank in at least one section in a line and in opposite directions of the wrapping unit are supplied.
- the invention relates to a system for inserting goods to be packaged with a receiving unit and a cutting unit for producing packaging blanks from a provided material, a wrapping unit, a first feed unit for supplying goods to be packaged to the wrapping unit and a second feed unit for Supplying the packaging blanks to the wrapping unit, wherein the first and second feed unit are arranged such that the supply of the goods and the packaging blanks in at least one section in a line and in opposite directions.
- Newer inserting systems try to take over individual production steps in the production of the goods or the packaging and thus to reduce the production times and production costs.
- the production of the goods in particular the printing, the cutting and the sorting of the blank, is taken over by a separate production unit and the goods are fed directly to the inserting machine. This good is then automatically placed by the inserter in provided packaging.
- a disadvantage of this type of inserter is further that the packaging must be made externally and thus incur additional transport and storage costs.
- both the production of the goods and the production of the packaging are taken over by the inserting machine.
- a material web is printed by an external printing unit in such a way that first the complete good is printed on the material web, for example individual sheets of a letter, before a packaging blank, for example an envelope with an address field, is printed on the material web.
- This finished material web with several goods and packaging blanks in exchange is then added to the inserter, which cuts the material web according to the goods and the packaging blanks and then combines both.
- a disadvantage of this method is that the goods and the packaging blanks are always made of the same material by the common material web. Such a limitation of the materials is not desirable in many cases.
- the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method for enveloping to be packaged Good and such a system that allows for low production costs and production times a particularly flexible, easy and fast packaging of the goods.
- the packaging blank comprises two side flaps, a bottom flap and a flap and by the wrapping of the goods to be packaged the additional process steps: wrapping the goods to be packaged by folding the side flaps, and wrapping the goods to be packaged Folding the bottom flap in any order, gluing the side flaps and the bottom flap, wrapping the goods to be packaged by folding the flap includes.
- the packaging blank comprises two side flaps, a bottom flap and a flap and the wrapping unit means for folding the side flaps and the bottom flap, means for bonding the side flaps and the bottom flap and means for wrapping the goods to be packaged Folding the flap includes.
- the invention is based on the consideration that the production costs and production times are significantly influenced by the recourse to external production facilities and thus resulting delivery times and required storage space. A reduction of these costs and production times can therefore be achieved if both the goods to be packaged and the packaging can be produced on site. A further reduction is possible, although the storage of locally produced goods or packaging can be avoided and the production and enveloping is thus possible within a plant.
- the packaging is not made before merging with the goods to be packaged but initially provided only packaging blanks. In order to avoid further work steps and the supply of packaging blanks on several feed tracks, the packaging blanks are in one piece and already completed.
- the side edges are folded first, then the bottom flap and only then the flap.
- Such a folding and bonding order allows the production of standard (envelope) envelopes that meet very high demands on the stability of the packaging.
- the maximum space for the goods to be packaged can be provided for given packaging sizes, for example by specifications by the letter or parcel delivery service.
- the union of the goods to be packaged and the packaging blank is carried out in line and in the same direction to each other in a particularly advantageous embodiment.
- This allows a simple and positionally accurate storage of goods on the packaging blank and thus a simple union without relative movement of the goods and the packaging blank.
- This is also a continuous operation of the system, by a constant supply of packaging blanks, possible without short downtime or a stop-and-go erfoderlich.
- a folding in the direction of movement of the packaging blank is consistently avoided.
- the side edges are folded parallel to the direction of movement and the packaging blank positioned under the Good so that a folding of the bottom flap against the direction of movement is possible.
- the direction of movement of the already partially enveloped material is rotated by approximately 90 °, without thereby rotating the packaging blank. Only by this rotation, a folding of the flap is made possible parallel to the direction of movement.
- packaging blank during folding it is possible to produce packaging and in particular envelopes in which the folding edge of the closure flap and the folded edge of the bottom flap are arranged substantially parallel to one another.
- size specifications for example, by the letter or parcel delivery service can be optimally met.
- a different form of packaging can be produced by the angle of change of the direction of movement is selected accordingly.
- a window element is cut into the packaging blank in a preferred embodiment during or after the blank of the packaging blank. This window element is then covered by a window film.
- the window film is glued to the inside of the packaging blank and covers the window element completely.
- the packaging blanks are cut directly from a material web.
- the cut packaging blanks and not the material web are printed in an advantageous embodiment. It is thus possible to use a single, unprinted material web for the production of the packaging. A storage of printed material webs or rejects of entire webs due to misprints or order changes can thus be avoided.
- a printing of the packaging is also provided after the wrapping of the goods.
- the good usually this form letters, advertising flyers or leaflets are cut from a web and the blank is fed directly to the wrapping unit.
- the good is cut from a blank web and is printed individually after cutting by a printing unit.
- the cut and collectively packaged goods are collected by means of a collecting unit and fed together to the wrapping unit in a particularly preferred embodiment. It is conceivable that the collecting unit also performs a desired folding, gluing or other connection of the collected goods.
- the advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that a particularly simple combination of the two in the wrapping unit is made possible by the special supply of the goods and the already completely present packaging blank.
- both in the production of good as in the production of the packaging can be consistently dispensed with external production and thus cost-effective and with little downtime each good be packed.
- the materials used for the goods and the packaging can be freely and independently determined and the dimensions of the blanks adjusted individually.
- the schematic representation of the method according to FIG. 1 comprises a first material web 1 for the packaging blanks.
- the material of the web 1 can be chosen arbitrarily and according to the customer's request, usually paper in different strengths or even a packaging film is used.
- a first method step 2 the material web 1 is cut into packaging blanks 6 by means of a cutting unit 4.
- a particularly individual blank is possible, which can also be changed from packaging blank 6 to packaging blank 6 by a corresponding control of the cutting unit.
- a direct and optimal adaptation to the goods to be packaged 8 is possible. If the material web 1 and therefore also the packaging blank 6 are already completely printed, the packaging blank 6 is fed to the wrapping unit 12 in the next method step 10.
- the packaging blank 6 can be individually and individually printed by a printing unit 14 before being fed to the wrapping unit 12 in a method step not shown.
- an additional printing unit 62 already prints on the material web 1. This has the advantage that it can be printed over the entire later cut and thus no system-related pressure-free edges arise.
- a window element 68 is cut into the packaging blank 6 in a further method step preceding the feed to the wrapping unit, or also together with the blank of the packaging blank 6, and this is closed with a window film. This makes it possible to produce packaging, in particular envelopes, with a viewing window.
- This second material web 16 is cut by a second cutting unit 18 into individual parts of the material 20. If the second material web 16 is not yet printed, could in a not shown , Further printing unit in a further process step, also not shown, the individual parts of the goods 20 are individually printed. The parts of the goods 20 are then fed to a collecting unit 24.
- This collecting unit 24 is able to sort the parts of the goods 20 and merge them into a good 8.
- external inserts 64 such as, for example, credit cards, CDs or promotional items, manually or automatically to the product 8.
- the finished product 8 is subsequently fed to the wrapping unit 12.
- the feed paths 10, 28 are arranged in a line but in opposite directions. A necessary rotation of the goods 8 in the plane of movement or the packaging blank 6 in the feed is avoided as well as an undesirable displacement of the packaging blank 6 by changes in direction in the feed.
- the combination of the goods 8 and the packaging blank 6, however, is performed in a line and the same direction. As a result, relative movements between the two are avoided and the good 8 can be placed accurately positioned on the packaging blank 6 in a particularly simple manner, for example by filing. Due to this special type of feed, the product 8 to be packaged lies in the wrapping unit 12 on the inside of the packaging blank 6.
- the side flaps 32 of the packaging blank 6 are folded parallel to the direction of movement of the packaging blank 6 and beaten around the crop 8. At the same time or in a downstream process step, the outside of the side flaps is covered with an adhesive film.
- the bottom flap 36 is then folded against the direction of movement of the packaging blank 6, beaten around the good 8 and glued to the side flaps 32.
- the direction of movement of the packaging blank 6 and of the material 8 located in it is rotated by about 90 °, without, however, the orientation of the packaging blank 8 changes.
- a folding 38 of the closure flap 40 parallel to the new direction of movement of the packaging blank 8 is possible.
- the folding edges of the closure flap 40 and the bottom flap 36 are arranged approximately parallel to one another in such a rotation of the movement direction, so that particularly symmetrical packaging can be produced.
- the closure flap 40 can be glued directly to the end of the bottom flap 36 during folding.
- an adhesive film can be applied directly in the end region of the bottom flap 36 and / or on the inside of the closure flap 40 in a further process step carried out upstream or with the folding.
- the inserting machine 43 comprises a packaging unit 44 for producing and feeding the packaging blanks 6 to form a wrapping unit 12 and a good unit 46 for producing, sorting, collecting and feeding the goods 8 also to this wrapping unit 12th
- the packaging unit 44 comprises in the order of the method steps a receiving unit 48 for the packaging material, for example a material web or roll 1, a cutting unit 4, which cuts this packaging material into packaging blanks 6, a first and a second printing unit 14, 62 which holds the packaging blanks 6 printed on demand and a feed unit 50, which supplies the packaging blanks 6 of the wrapping unit 12.
- the packaging unit may include a unit for cutting and applying window elements 68 to the packaging blank.
- the good unit 46 comprises a separate receiving unit 52 for a material web or roll 16.
- second cutting unit 18 parts of the material 20 are cut from the web 16. These can optionally be printed individually by a further, not shown printing unit.
- Downstream of the cutting unit 18 is a collecting unit 24, in which the parts of the goods 20 can be collected, sorted and further processed. Also, an external supply of other supplements or other parts of the goods to be packaged 8 manually or automatically possible.
- the collected and to be packaged Good 8 is passed over its own feed unit 54 of the wrapping unit 12.
- the wrapping unit 12 is designed to securely and permanently enclose the product 8 to be packaged by the supplied packaging blank 6 in a plurality of folding and gluing steps.
- the wrapping unit 12 is formed L-shaped, wherein the folding of the side flap and the bottom flaps a first portion 56 and the folding of the flap in a second portion 58 is made to the first portion 56 to twisted about 90 °.
- the wrapping unit according to the embodiment according to FIG. 2 In addition, it includes its own printing unit 60, in which the finished end product 42 can be printed again or for the first time if necessary.
- the feed units 50, 54 of the packaging blank 6 and of the goods 8 are arranged in such a way that the feed - seen from a bird's eye view - is in a line and in opposite directions.
- the packaging blank 6 is introduced at a lower level, below the wrapping unit 12, while the good 8 is fed to the wrapping unit at a higher level.
- feeding the packaging blank 6 to the wrapping unit 12 it is moved along a curved or circular segment. This corresponds to a roller-like rotation of the packaging blank 6, which does not have to be realized via a roller element, but also by a corresponding arrangement of conveyor belts or similar conveying elements is possible.
- this type of rotation of the packaging blank 6 its orientation relative to the direction of movement is not changed, as a result of which displacement during movement and thus later inaccurate positioning can be avoided.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Kuvertierung von zu verpackendem Gut mit den Verfahrenschritten (a) Zuführung des zu verpackenden Gutes zu einer Umhüllungseinheit mittels einer ersten Zuführeinheit, (b) Zuschnitt eines Verpackungsrohlings aus einem bereitgestellten Material, (c) Zuführung des Verpackungsrohlings zu der Umhüllungseinheit mittels einer zweiten Zuführeinheit, (d) Vereinigung des zu verpackenden Gutes und des Verpackungsrohlings in der Umhüllungseinheit und (e) Umhüllung des zu verpackenden Gutes mit dem Verpackungsrohling durch die Umhüllungseinheit, wobei das zu verpackende Gut und der Verpackungsrohling in zumindest einem Abschnitt in einer Linie und gegenläufig zueinander der Umhüllungseinheit zugeführt werden. Des Weiteren bezieht sich die Erfindung auf eine Anlage zur Kuvertierung von zu verpackendem Gut mit einer Aufnahmeeinheit und einer Schneideinheit zur Herstellung von Verpackungsrohlingen aus einem bereitgestellten Material, einer Umhüllungseinheit, einer ersten Zuführeinheit zur Zuführung von zu verpackendem Gut zu der Umhüllungseinheit und einer zweiten Zuführeinheit zur Zuführung der Verpackungsrohlinge zu der Umhüllungseinheit, wobei die erste und zweite Zuführeinheit derart angeordnet sind, dass die Zuführung des Gutes und der Verpackungsrohlinge in zumindest einem Abschnitt in einer Linie und gegenläufig erfolgt.The invention relates to a method for enveloping goods to be packaged with the method steps (a) feeding the goods to be packaged to a wrapping unit by means of a first feed unit, (b) cutting a pack blank from a material provided, (c) feeding the pack blank the wrapping unit by means of a second feeding unit, (d) combining the goods to be packaged and the packaging blank in the wrapping unit, and (e) wrapping the goods to be packaged with the packaging blank by the wrapping unit, wherein the good to be packaged and the packaging blank in at least one section in a line and in opposite directions of the wrapping unit are supplied. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system for inserting goods to be packaged with a receiving unit and a cutting unit for producing packaging blanks from a provided material, a wrapping unit, a first feed unit for supplying goods to be packaged to the wrapping unit and a second feed unit for Supplying the packaging blanks to the wrapping unit, wherein the first and second feed unit are arranged such that the supply of the goods and the packaging blanks in at least one section in a line and in opposite directions.
Von der Herstellung des Gutes, insbesondere Zeitschriften, (Werbe-)Prospekte, oder Briefe, und der Verpackungen bis zum fertigen, verpackten Produkt durchlaufen sowohl das zu verpackende Gut als auch die Verpackung viele verschiedene Stationen. Dabei wird in der Regel die Produktion des Gutes und die Produktion der Verpackung örtlich voneinander getrennt und diese erst bei der Kuvertierung händisch oder auch automatisch durch eine Kuvertieranlage vereint. Eine derartige dezentrale Herstellung der einzelnen Verpackungsbestandteile führt allerdings zu zusätzlichen Produktionskosten, unter anderem auf Grund von Transport- und Lagerkosten, und längeren Produktionszeiten, unter anderem auf Grund der Transportwege, bzw. Produktionsausfällen, wenn das Gut oder das Verpackungsmaterial nicht vorrätig ist und erst extern bestellt werden muss.From the production of goods, in particular magazines, (advertising) brochures, or letters, and the packaging to the finished, packaged product go through both the goods to be packaged and the packaging many different stations. In this case, the production of the goods and the production of the packaging is usually locally separated from each other and this only when inserting manually or automatically united by an inserter. However, such a decentralized production of the individual packaging components leads to additional production costs, inter alia due to transport and storage costs, and longer production times, inter alia due to the transport routes, or production losses, if the goods or packaging material is not in stock and must be ordered externally.
Neuere Kuvertieranlagen versuchen dabei einzelne Produktionsschritte bei der Herstellung des Gutes oder der Verpackung zu übernehmen und somit die Produktionszeiten und Produktionskosten zu reduzieren. Dabei wird in der Regel die Produktion des Gutes, insbesondere der Druck, der Zuschnitt und die Sortierung des Zuschnitts, von einer eigenen Produktionseinheit übernommen und das Gut direkt der Kuvertieranlage zugeführt. Dieses Gut wird dann automatisch durch die Kuvertieranlage in zur Verfügung gestellte Verpackungen gelegt. Nachteilig bei dieser Art der Kuvertieranlagen ist weiterhin, dass die Verpackungen extern hergestellt werden müssen und somit zusätzliche Transport- und Lagerkosten anfallen.Newer inserting systems try to take over individual production steps in the production of the goods or the packaging and thus to reduce the production times and production costs. As a rule, the production of the goods, in particular the printing, the cutting and the sorting of the blank, is taken over by a separate production unit and the goods are fed directly to the inserting machine. This good is then automatically placed by the inserter in provided packaging. A disadvantage of this type of inserter is further that the packaging must be made externally and thus incur additional transport and storage costs.
In anderen Kuvertieranlagen wird sowohl die Herstellung des Gutes als auch die Herstellung der Verpackung von der Kuvertieranlage übernommen. Dabei wird eine Materialbahn durch eine externe Druckeinheit derart bedruckt, dass zunächst das vollständige Gut auf die Materialbahn gedruckt wird, zum Beispiel einzelne Blätter eines Briefes, bevor ein Verpackungsrohling, zum Beispiel ein Umschlag mit Adressfeld, auf die Materialbahn gedruckt wird. Diese fertige Materialbahn mit mehreren Gütern und Verpackungsrohlingen im Wechsel wird dann der Kuvertieranlage zugefügt, die die Materialbahn entsprechend der Güter und der Verpackungsrohlinge zuschneidet und anschließend beide vereint. Nachteilig bei diesem Verfahren ist aber, dass durch die gemeinsame Materialbahn die Güter und die Verpackungsrohlinge stets aus dem gleichen Material gefertigt werden. Eine derartige Einschränkung der Materialien ist in vielen Fällen aber nicht wünschenswert.In other inserting systems, both the production of the goods and the production of the packaging are taken over by the inserting machine. In this case, a material web is printed by an external printing unit in such a way that first the complete good is printed on the material web, for example individual sheets of a letter, before a packaging blank, for example an envelope with an address field, is printed on the material web. This finished material web with several goods and packaging blanks in exchange is then added to the inserter, which cuts the material web according to the goods and the packaging blanks and then combines both. A disadvantage of this method is that the goods and the packaging blanks are always made of the same material by the common material web. Such a limitation of the materials is not desirable in many cases.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde ein Verfahren zur Kuvertierung von zu verpackendem Gut und eine derartige Anlage anzugeben, die bei gering gehaltenen Produktionskosten und Fertigungszeiten eine besonders flexible, einfache und schnelle Verpackung des Gutes ermöglicht.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method for enveloping to be packaged Good and such a system that allows for low production costs and production times a particularly flexible, easy and fast packaging of the goods.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung geht von der Überlegung aus, dass die Produktionskosten und Fertigungszeiten maßgeblich durch den Rückgriff auf externe Produktionsstätten und somit resultierende Lieferzeiten und benötigte Lagerflächen beeinflusst werden. Eine Reduzierung dieser Kosten und Fertigungszeiten kann daher dann erreicht werden, wenn sowohl die zu verpackenden Güter als auch die Verpackungen vor Ort hergestellt werden können. Eine weitere Reduzierung ist möglich, wenn auch die Lagerung von vor Ort produzierten Gütern oder Verpackungen vermieden werden kann und die Produktion und die Kuvertierung somit innerhalb einer Anlage ermöglicht wird. Für eine möglichst flexible und individuell anpassbare Kuvertierung werden die Verpackungen nicht vor der Zusammenführung mit dem zu verpackendem Gut hergestellt sondern zunächst nur Verpackungsrohlinge bereitgestellt. Zur Vermeidung von weiteren Arbeitsschritten und der Zuführung der Verpackungsrohlinge über mehrere Zuführbahnen, sind die Verpackungsrohlinge dabei einteilig und bereits vollständig ausgeführt. Dies bedeutet, dass sie bereits die Seitenklappen, die Bodenklappe und die Verschlussklappe umfassen und der Verpackungsrohling nicht erst in einem weiteren Schritt vor oder nach der Gutzuführung, beispielsweise in Form eines Wrapers, hergestellt bzw. vervollständigt werden muss.Diese Verpackungsrohlinge werden mit dem Gut vereint und das Gut erst anschließend durch Faltung des Verpackungsrohlings umhüllt. Für eine besonders einfache und positionsgenaue Vereinigung des Gutes und der Verpackungsrohlinge sollen dabei Änderungen in der Zuführungsrichtung konsequent vermieden werden. Aus diesem Grund geschieht die Zuführung des Gutes und der Verpackungsrohlinge aus der Vogelperspektive in einer Linie und gegenläufig zueinander. Durch die gegenläufige Anordnung wird eine besonders einfache Zugänglichkeit zu den beiden Zuführungseinheiten und den vorgelagerten Einheiten zur Bereitstellung und/oder Herstellung des Verpackungsrohlings und des Gutes ermöglicht.The invention is based on the consideration that the production costs and production times are significantly influenced by the recourse to external production facilities and thus resulting delivery times and required storage space. A reduction of these costs and production times can therefore be achieved if both the goods to be packaged and the packaging can be produced on site. A further reduction is possible, although the storage of locally produced goods or packaging can be avoided and the production and enveloping is thus possible within a plant. For a very flexible and customizable enveloping the packaging is not made before merging with the goods to be packaged but initially provided only packaging blanks. In order to avoid further work steps and the supply of packaging blanks on several feed tracks, the packaging blanks are in one piece and already completed. This means that they already comprise the side flaps, the bottom flap and the closure flap, and the packaging blank is not until a further step before or after the crop feed, For example, in the form of a Wrapers, must be made or completed. These packaging blanks are combined with the good and the good then wrapped by folding the packaging blank. For a particularly simple and positionally accurate combination of goods and packaging blanks while changes in the feeding direction should be avoided consistently. For this reason, the supply of the goods and the packaging blanks done from a bird's eye view in a line and in opposite directions. By the opposite arrangement, a particularly easy accessibility to the two supply units and the upstream units for providing and / or production of the packaging blank and the goods is possible.
Um die Bereitstellung einer möglichst stabilen und sicheren Verpackung zu ermöglichen, werden zunächst die Seitenränder gefaltet, anschließend die Bodenklappe und erst danach die Verschlussklappe. Eine derartige Faltungs- und Verklebungsreihenfolge ermöglicht die Herstellung von gängigen (Brief-)Umschlägen, die besonders hohe Anforderungen an die Stabilität der Verpackung erfüllen. Durch diese Faltungsreihenfolge kann bei vorgegebenen Verpackungsgrößen, beispielsweise durch Vorgaben durch den Brief- bzw. Paketzusteller, der maximale Platz für das zu verpackende Gut bereitgestellt werden. In alternativer Ausführung ist es aber auch möglich, dass zunächst die Bodenklappe gefaltet wird und erst anschließend die Seitenränder und die Verschlussklappe. Bei dieser Faltung ist die Verklebung der Seitenränder und der Bodenklappe außerhalb. Ein möglicher Kontakt zwischen dem Klebematerial und dem Gut kann somit ausgeschlossen werden.In order to enable the provision of the most stable and secure packaging, the side edges are folded first, then the bottom flap and only then the flap. Such a folding and bonding order allows the production of standard (envelope) envelopes that meet very high demands on the stability of the packaging. By this folding sequence, the maximum space for the goods to be packaged can be provided for given packaging sizes, for example by specifications by the letter or parcel delivery service. In an alternative embodiment, it is also possible that first the bottom flap is folded and only then the side edges and the flap. In this folding, the gluing of the side edges and the bottom flap is outside. A possible contact between the adhesive material and the good can thus be excluded.
Für eine schnelle und sichere Kuvertierung des Gutes wird in besonders vorteilhafter Ausführung die Vereinigung des zu verpackenden Gutes und des Verpackungsrohlinges in Line und gleichläufig zueinander ausgeführt. Dies ermöglicht eine einfache und positionsgenaue Ablage des Gutes auf dem Verpackungsrohling und somit eine einfache Vereinigung ohne Relativbewegung des Gutes und des Verpackungsrohlings. Dadurch ist auch ein kontinuierlicher Betrieb der Anlage, durch eine konstante Zuführung von Verpackungsrohlingen, möglich, ohne dass kurze Stillstandzeiten oder ein Stop-and-go erfoderlich sind.For a quick and secure enveloping of the goods, the union of the goods to be packaged and the packaging blank is carried out in line and in the same direction to each other in a particularly advantageous embodiment. This allows a simple and positionally accurate storage of goods on the packaging blank and thus a simple union without relative movement of the goods and the packaging blank. This is also a continuous operation of the system, by a constant supply of packaging blanks, possible without short downtime or a stop-and-go erfoderlich.
Für eine besonders genaue Faltung des Verpackungsrohlings wird eine Faltung in Bewegungsrichtung des Verpackungsrohlings konsequent vermieden. Dabei werden die Seitenränder parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung gefaltet und der Verpackungsrohling derart unter dem Gut positioniert, dass eine Faltung der Bodenklappe gegen die Bewegungsrichtung möglich ist. Um eine Faltung der Verschlussklappe in Bewegungsrichtung des Verpackungsrohlings zu vermeiden, wird in besonders bevorzugter Ausgestaltung die Bewegungsrichtung des bereits teilweise umhüllten Gutes um etwa 90° gedreht, ohne dabei den Verpackungsrohling zu drehen. Erst durch diese Drehung wird eine Faltung der Verschlussklappe parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung ermöglicht. Durch diese besondere Führung des Verpackungsrohlings während der Faltung ist es möglich, Verpackungen und insbesondere Umschläge herzustellen, bei denen die Faltkante der Verschlussklappe und die Faltkante der Bodenklappe im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander angeordnet sind. Dadurch können Größenvorgaben, beispielsweise durch den Brief- oder Paketzusteller bestmöglich erfüllt werden. Je nach Kundenwunsch kann allerdings auch eine andere Verpackungsform hergestellt werden, indem der Änderungswinkel der Bewegungsrichtung entsprechend gewählt wird.For a particularly accurate folding of the packaging blank, a folding in the direction of movement of the packaging blank is consistently avoided. In this case, the side edges are folded parallel to the direction of movement and the packaging blank positioned under the Good so that a folding of the bottom flap against the direction of movement is possible. In order to avoid a folding of the closure flap in the direction of movement of the packaging blank, in a particularly preferred embodiment, the direction of movement of the already partially enveloped material is rotated by approximately 90 °, without thereby rotating the packaging blank. Only by this rotation, a folding of the flap is made possible parallel to the direction of movement. Due to this particular guidance of the packaging blank during folding, it is possible to produce packaging and in particular envelopes in which the folding edge of the closure flap and the folded edge of the bottom flap are arranged substantially parallel to one another. As a result, size specifications, for example, by the letter or parcel delivery service can be optimally met. Depending on the customer's request, however, a different form of packaging can be produced by the angle of change of the direction of movement is selected accordingly.
Für besonders vielfältige Anwendungsmöglichkeiten, insbesondere für die Herstellung von Verpackungen und Umschlägen mit Fensterelementen, wird in bevorzugter Ausführung beim oder nach dem Zuschnitt des Verpackungsrohlings ein Fensterelement in den Verpackungsrohling geschnitten. Dieses Fensterlement wird anschließend durch eine Fensterfolie abgedeckt. Die Fensterfolie wird dazu auf die Innenseite des Verpackungsrohlings geklebt und deckt das Fensterelement vollständig ab.For particularly diverse applications, in particular for the production of packaging and envelopes with window elements, a window element is cut into the packaging blank in a preferred embodiment during or after the blank of the packaging blank. This window element is then covered by a window film. The window film is glued to the inside of the packaging blank and covers the window element completely.
In der vorliegenden Anlage werden die Verpackungsrohlinge direkt von einer Materialbahn geschnitten. Dies bedeutet, dass etwaige Adressen, Werbefelder oder auch Firmenlogos auf den Verpackungen bereits auf die Materialbahn gedruckt worden sein können. Dies hat aber den Nachteil, dass einzelne Änderungen oder Fehler zum Austausch der kompletten Materialbahn führen können. Für eine besonders flexible und kostengünstige Bereitstellung von bedruckten Umschlägen werden in vorteilhafter Ausführung daher die zugeschnittenen Verpackungsrohlinge und nicht die Materialbahn bedruckt. Es ist somit möglich eine einzelne, unbedruckte Materialbahn zur Herstellung der Verpackung zu verwenden. Eine Lagerung von bedruckten Materialbahnen oder Ausschuss von ganzen Materialbahnen aufgrund von Fehldrucken oder Auftragsänderungen kann somit vermieden werden. In alternativer oder zusätzlicher vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist ebenfalls eine Bedruckung der Verpackung nach der Umhüllung des Gutes vorgesehen.In the present system, the packaging blanks are cut directly from a material web. This means that any addresses, advertising fields or company logos on the packaging may have already been printed on the web. But this has the disadvantage that individual changes or Errors can lead to the replacement of the complete web. For a particularly flexible and cost-effective provision of printed envelopes, therefore, the cut packaging blanks and not the material web are printed in an advantageous embodiment. It is thus possible to use a single, unprinted material web for the production of the packaging. A storage of printed material webs or rejects of entire webs due to misprints or order changes can thus be avoided. In an alternative or additional advantageous embodiment, a printing of the packaging is also provided after the wrapping of the goods.
Zur Reduzierung der Lagerkosten und des benötigten Lagervolumens ist in bevorzugter Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, dass auch das Gut, in der Regel sind dies Serienbriefe, Werbeflyer oder Prospekte, von einer Materialbahn geschnitten werden und der Zuschnitt direkt der Umhüllungseinheit zugeführt wird. Wie bei den Umschlägen ist es auch hier denkbar, dass das Gut von einer unbedruckten Materialbahn geschnitten wird und erst nach Zuschnitt individuell durch eine Druckeinheit bedruckt wird. Für eine besonders positionsgenaue Vereinigung des zu verpackendem Gutes und des Verpackungsrohlings werden in besonders bevorzugter Ausgestaltung die zugeschnittenen und gemeinsam zu verpackenden Güter mittels einer Sammeleinheit gesammelt und gemeinsam der Umhüllungseinheit zugeführt. Dabei ist es denkbar, dass die Sammeleinheit auch eine gewünschte Faltung, Verklebung oder andere Verbindung der gesammelten Güter vornimmt.To reduce the storage costs and the required storage volume is provided in a preferred embodiment, that the good, usually this form letters, advertising flyers or leaflets are cut from a web and the blank is fed directly to the wrapping unit. As with the envelopes, it is also conceivable that the good is cut from a blank web and is printed individually after cutting by a printing unit. For a particularly positionally accurate union of the goods to be packaged and the packaging blank, the cut and collectively packaged goods are collected by means of a collecting unit and fed together to the wrapping unit in a particularly preferred embodiment. It is conceivable that the collecting unit also performs a desired folding, gluing or other connection of the collected goods.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile liegen insbesondere darin, dass durch die spezielle Zuführung des Gutes und des bereits vollständig vorliegenden Verpackungsrohlings eine besonders einfache Zusammenführung beider in der Umhüllungseinheit ermöglicht wird. Somit kann sowohl bei der Herstellung der Gutes als auf bei der Herstellung der Verpackung konsequent auf externe Produktionsstätten verzichtet werden und somit Kostengünstig und mit geringen Stillstandzeiten jedes Gut verpackt werden. Zusätzlich können die verwendeten Materialien für die Güter und die Verpackung frei und unabhängig voneinander bestimmt und die Abmessungen der Zuschnitte individuell eingestellt werden.The advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that a particularly simple combination of the two in the wrapping unit is made possible by the special supply of the goods and the already completely present packaging blank. Thus, both in the production of good as in the production of the packaging can be consistently dispensed with external production and thus cost-effective and with little downtime each good be packed. In addition, the materials used for the goods and the packaging can be freely and independently determined and the dimensions of the blanks adjusted individually.

Es ist ebenfalls möglich, dass in einem weiteren, der Zuführung zu Umhüllungseinheit vorgelagerten Verfahrensschritt oder auch zusammen mit dem Zuschnitt des Verpackungsrohlings 6 ein Fensterelement 68 in den Verpackungsrohling 6 geschnitten wird und dieses mit einer Fensterfolie verschlossen wird. Dadurch ist es möglich auch Verpackungen, insbesondere Briefumschläge, mit einem Sichtfenster herzustellen.It is likewise possible for a

Für eine besonders zuverlässige und genaue Positionierung des Gutes 8 auf dem zugeordneten Verpackungsrohling 6 und eine fehlerfreie weitere Bearbeitung durch die Umhüllungseinheit 12 sind die Zuführungswege 10, 28 in einer Linie aber gegenläufig angeordnet. Ein notwendiges Drehen des Gutes 8 in der Bewegungsebene oder des Verpackungsrohlings 6 bei der Zuführung wird ebenso vermieden, wie ein unerwünschtes Verschieben des Verpackungsrohlings 6 durch Richtungsänderungen in der Zuführung. Die Vereinigung des Gutes 8 und des Verpackungsrohlings 6 wird dagegen in einer Linie und gleichläufig durchgeführt. Dadurch werden relativbewegungen zwischen den beiden vermieden und das Gut 8 kann auf besonders einfache Art und Weise, beispielsweise durch Ablage, auf dem Verpackungsrohling 6 positionsgenau platziert werden. Durch diese besondere Art der Zuführung liegt das zu verpackende Gut 8 in der Umhüllungseinheit 12 auf der Innenseite des Verpackungsrohlings 6.For a particularly reliable and accurate positioning of the goods 8 on the associated
In einem ersten Umhüllungsvorgang 30 werden die Seitenklappen 32 des Verpackungsrohlings 6 parallel zur Bewegungsrichtung des Verpackungsrohlings 6 gefaltet und um das Gut 8 geschlagen. Gleichzeitig oder in einem nachgeschalteten Verfahrensschritt wird die Außenseite der Seitenklappen mit einem Klebefilm überzogen. In einem zweiten Umhüllungsvorgang 34 wird anschließend die Bodenklappe 36 gegen die Bewegungsrichtung des Verpackungsrohlings 6 gefaltet, um das Gut 8 geschlagen und mit den Seitenklappen 32 verklebt.In a
Zur Vermeidung einer Faltung in Bewegungsrichtung, wird die Bewegungsrichtung des Verpackungsrohlings 6 und des in ihm befindlichen Gutes 8 um etwa 90° gedreht, ohne dass sich dabei allerdings die Orientierung des Verpackungsrohlings 8 ändert. Durch diese Änderung der Bewegungsrichtung relativ zur Ausrichtung des Verpackungsrohlings 8 ist eine Faltung 38 der Verschlussklappe 40 parallel zur neuen Bewegungsrichtung des Verpackungsrohlings 8 möglich. Die Faltkanten der Verschlussklappe 40 und der Bodenklappe 36 sind bei einer derartigen Drehung der Bewegungsrichtung etwa parallel zueinander angeordnet, sodass besonders symmetrische Verpackungen hergestellt werden können. Bei dieser Faltung 38 wird die Verpackung geschlossen und das Gut 8 vollständig eingepackt. In Abhängigkeit der weiteren Verarbeitung des verpackten Gutes 42 kann die Verschlussklappe 40 bei der Faltung direkt mit dem Ende der Bodenklappe 36 verklebt werden. Dazu kann in einem vorgelagerten oder mit der Faltung durchgeführten weiteren Verfahrensschritt ein Klebefilm direkt im Endbereich der Bodenklappe 36 und/oder auf die Innenseite der Verschlussklappe 40 aufgetragen werden.To avoid folding in the direction of movement, the direction of movement of the

Die Verpackungseinheit 44 umfasst in der Reihenfolge der Verfahrensschritte eine Aufnahmeeinheit 48 für das Verpackungsmaterial, beispielsweise eine Materialbahn oder -rolle 1, eine Schneideinheit 4, die dieses Verpackungsmaterial in Verpackungsrohlinge 6 schneidet, eine erste und eine zweite Druckeinheit 14, 62, die die Verpackungsrohlinge 6 bei Bedarf bedruckt und eine Zuführeinheit 50, die die Verpackungsrohlinge 6 der Umhüllungseinheit 12 zuführt. Zusätzlich kann die Verpackungseinheit eine Einheit zum Schneiden und Aufbringen von Fensterelementen 68 auf den Verpackungsrohling umfassen.The
Auch die Guteinheit 46 umfasst eine eigene Aufnahmeeinheit 52 für eine Materialbahn oder -rolle 16. In einer nachgeschalteten, zweiten Schneideinheit 18 werden Teile des Gutes 20 von der Materialbahn 16 geschnitten. Diese können gegebenenfalls durch eine weitere, nicht dargestellte Druckeinheit individuell bedruckt werden. Der Schneideinheit 18 nachgeschaltet ist eine Sammeleinheit 24, in der die Teile des Gutes 20 gesammelt, sortiert und weiter bearbeitet werden können. Ebenfalls ist eine externe Zuführung von weiteren Beilagen oder anderen Teilen des zu verpackenden Gutes 8 manuell oder auch automatisch möglich. Das gesammelte und zu verpackende Gut 8 wird über eine eigene Zuführeinheit 54 der Umhüllungseinheit 12 übergeben.Also, the
Die Umhüllungseinheit 12 ist dazu ausgelegt das zu verpackende Gut 8 durch den zugeführten Verpackungsrohling 6 in mehreren Falt- und Klebeschritten sicher und dauerhaft zu umschließen. Für eine möglichst einfache und genaue Faltung der Verschlussklappe, ist die Umhüllungseinheit 12 L-fömig ausgebildet, wobei die Faltung der Seitenklappe und der Bodenklappen einem ersten Teilbereich 56 und die Faltung der Verschlussklappe in einem zweiten Teilbereich 58 vorgenommen wird, der zum ersten Teilbereich 56 um etwa 90° verdreht ist. Die Umhüllungseinheit nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach
Die Zuführeinheiten 50, 54 des Verpackungsrohlings 6 und des Gutes 8 sind dabei derart angeordnet, dass die Zuführung - aus der Vogelperspektive betrachtet - in einer Linie und gegenläufig geschieht. Dabei wird der Verpackungsrohling 6 auf einer tieferen Ebene, unterhalb der Umhüllungseinheit 12 an diese herangeführt, während das Gut 8 auf einer höher liegenden Ebene der Umhüllungseinheit zugeführt wird. Bei der Zuführung des Verpackungsrohlings 6 zur Umhüllungseinheit 12 wird dieser entlang eines Bogen- oder Kreissegmentes bewegt. Dieses entspricht einer walzenartigen Drehung des Verpackungsrohlings 6, die aber nicht über ein Walzenelement realisiert werden muss, sondern auch durch eine entsprechende Anordnung von Förderbändern oder ähnlichen Beförderungselementen möglich ist. Durch diese Art der Drehung des Verpackungsrohlings 6 wird seine Ausrichtung relativ zur Bewegungsrichtung nicht verändert, wodurch eine Verschiebung während der Bewegung und somit eine spätere ungenaue Positionierung vermieden werden kann.The
Durch eine derartige Zuführung des Gutes 8 und des Verpackungsrohlings 6 ist es darüber hinaus möglich, dass das Gut positionsgenau auf dem Verpackungsrohling 6 abgelegt werden kann. Dadurch wird eine vollständige Umhüllung des Gutes 8 erst ermöglicht. Auf vorgefertigte und extern produzierte Verpackungen kann somit verzichtet werden.By such a supply of the goods 8 and the
