Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for conveying, providing and/or for largely uninterrupted handling and/or for exchanging rolls with flat and/or film material wound thereon and serving as packaging material for packaging piece goods, bundles or similar item combinations within a packaging machine the features of independent method claim 1.
- the invention also relates to a device for feeding, providing and/or largely uninterrupted handling and/or for exchanging rolls with flat and /or film material with the features of independent claim 9.
- bundles For example beverage containers or the like, these are often held together in practice by shrink film in order to prevent them from slipping or becoming detached from the combination during further handling or transport.
- bundles comprising four, six or more containers are known from the prior art.
- Such containers form a very common variant of sales units for beverage containers or bottles made of PET plastic.
- devices and methods which unwind the material from a roll or from several rolls, transport it within a packaging machine and thus wrap the individual containers or the wrap the respective article, which is to form the respective container, with the packaging material.
- the unwinding of the packaging material from the roll is usually done mechanically and in a continuous process.
- Devices are known in which the packaging material rolls from the thereby rotating roll is deducted. If a roll has been unwound and the supply of packaging material for the roll is exhausted, the respective roll must be exchanged or replaced with a new roll.
- a role change is associated with an undesired interruption of the process of assembling and packaging packs.
- a method and a device by means of which new rolls can be delivered and used rolls can be changed within a packaging machine, for example DE 40 40 545 A1 known.
- This known device has a plurality of supply rolls of strip material which are arranged next to one another. The core of each roll is placed on a common pivot. A beginning of the strip material is previously engaged with a roller which pulls the strip material from the respective roll and guides it in a downward direction away from the device. In order to be able to operate this known device and unwind the material from the roll, the roll must be placed with its core on the pin in the same direction of rotation. The strip material or the first layer of strip material must descend towards the rollers, coming from above.
- Devices for the automatic feeding of material wound up on rolls and for exchanging used rolls in processing or packaging machines are also known in different variants, for example devices for feeding and changing coils with strip material in a processing machine according to FIG DE 32 02 647 A1 or according to DE 41 42 256 A1 .
- the DE 34 25 734 A1 discloses an automated system for feeding dunnage to assembly and/or packaging lines.
- the system includes a magazine for the packaging material and a trolley equipped with an articulated arm for collecting the packaging material and feeding it to the processing machines located on the processing lines.
- the cart with the articulated arm drives along routes that are determined by a computer system connected to the processing machines.
- a facility for supplying packaging machines with consumables or packaging material is also from the EP 1 273 541 B1 known.
- the material webs wound as bobbins are delivered on pallets and distributed to several manufacturing and packaging machines, with the pallets first being taken to interim storage by means of pallet conveyors, while individual bobbins are removed by separate bobbin conveyors and transported to a machine to be supplied.
- the DE 10 2006 017 379 A1 discloses a device for handling reels of packaging material.
- the facility includes a bobbin store with a portal in which the bobbins are stored on pallets.
- a gantry robot with an articulated arm transfers bobbins to winding units located outside the gantry as required. From these, the webs of material are transported to opposite sides in a direction parallel to the longitudinal extension of the portal to the consumption machines.
- Documents U.S. 5,593,107 and EP 0 551 854 disclose bobbin handling devices equipped with space monitoring devices. These space monitoring devices are used to automatically find rolls in the feed area and to center the trunnion in relation to the roll.
- the known handling methods and devices generally require precise positioning and feeding of new bobbins or rolls with packaging material wound on them. If this exact positioning cannot be guaranteed, the smooth replacement of used rolls is endangered, which also means that the functionality of the packaging machine can no longer be guaranteed.
- one aim of the present invention is to provide a device and a method with a high degree of automation for handling flat and/or film material wound onto rolls, by means of which flat and/or film material can be provided without interruption.
- the device and the method should also function properly and with a pronounced degree of error tolerance in the case of imprecisely positioned roll feeds and ensure smooth roll replacement under all operating conditions.
- the Invention proposes a method for conveying, providing, handling and/or exchanging rolls with flat and/or film material wound thereon and serving as packaging material for packaging piece goods, bundles or similar item combinations.
- the method at least approximately completely unwound and/or used up rolls are removed from at least one installation position of a packaging machine and a new roll of flat and/or foil material is then inserted into the respective installation position or after removal of a respective roll.
- an outer layer of the respective new roll is pulled off near or in the area of its free end and connected, in particular welded or glued, to a section of a material web of another roll guided in the packaging machine to form a continuous material web .
- the process provides for new rolls of the packaging machine to be fed in a defined manner, e.g. by means of pallets, shelving systems, AGVs (i.e. driverless transport systems), a revolver magazine (rollers are e.g. arranged on a circular plate or rotating system in such a way that when the plate or a new role can be made available to the system), a feed system (e.g.
- the rolls are preferably picked up independently from the ordered feed by means of handling and gripping devices and inserted into the packaging machine.
- at least the positions of the rolls in the area of the defined feeding and/or provision and/or the gripping and/or handling device and/or their movement space are recorded by means of suitable optical sensor devices and/or space monitoring devices.
- at least the movements of the gripping and/or handling device in the area of the defined supply and/or provision for the rolls or in their respective movement area are controlled.
- the space monitoring devices mentioned are formed by at least one optical detection device, in particular a camera, which detects at least the movement space of the gripping and/or handling device and this movement space and the taking place movements of the gripping and / or handling device supplies imaging output signals.
- the at least one optical detection device or the camera can be assigned to the gripping and/or handling device or mounted there, for example, so that it is able to detect the movements of the gripping and/or handling device and the orientation of each to check the new roll before or when it is used.
- the camera can also cover the movement area by being installed in a fixed position in the room or on the packaging machine; additional or multiple cameras on the gripping and/or handling device are also possible.
- several cameras or optical detection devices can be used, the output signals of which can be superimposed and used for the exact location of all parts, handling systems and/or rolls of packaging material to be moved.
- the method according to the invention enables an exact positioning and feeding of new rolls with packaging material wound thereon to a packaging machine.
- the exact positioning of the handling devices can ensure the smooth exchange of used rolls, which ensures the functionality of the packaging machine in an ideal way.
- the method has a high degree of automation in the handling of flat and/or film material wound up on rolls for packaging purposes, so that flat and/or film material can be made available without interruption.
- the process also works flawlessly with imprecisely positioned roll feeds, with a high degree of error tolerance, and can also ensure smooth roll replacement under all operating conditions.
- the space monitoring devices in the movement space of the gripping and/or handling device detect a state of a core of a roll to be inserted in the respective installation position and supply information on the state of the core as output signals. In this case, it can be determined whether a core of a roll is damaged and therefore cannot be used in the respective installation position of the packaging machine or cannot be used without problems due to the damage. It is conceivable here that when damage to the core is detected, the respective roll that has the damaged core is separated out via the gripping and/or handling device and is not used in the respective installation position.
- the gripping and / or handling device the respective role, which has the damaged core, on a for the separation of Place rolls on a specific pallet or transfer to a specific pallet for sorting out rolls.
- the gripping and/or handling device can be assigned a clipboard for a roll to be inserted into the packaging machine, which serves as a support for the roll, in particular for storing the respective roll to be used and picking it up again by the gripping and/or Handling device for transferring the respective roll into the packaging machine.
- Embodiments have proven successful in which the gripping and/or handling device positions a roll to be inserted into the respective installation position on the clipboard, optically detects the state of the core of the roll positioned on the clipboard and provides information on the state of the core as output signals .
- the roll can be positioned horizontally or with its longitudinal extent horizontal on the clipboard.
- Such embodiments have proven themselves in order to be able to check the condition of the core of the respective roll positioned on the intermediate layer easily and with little risk of incorrect identification of potential damage.
- an optical detection device or a camera system can be provided, which looks through the core to determine or check for damage and is designed as a component of the gripping and/or handling device or is assigned to the gripping and/or handling device.
- the camera system or the optical detection device can be arranged on an arm of the gripping and/or handling device and, if necessary, can be moved via the gripping and/or handling device into the area of the core of the respective roll.
- the gripping and/or handling device can be formed in particular by a multi-axis robot that picks up new rolls from the defined feed and places them in the packaging machine.
- the handling robot can optionally be assigned a separate camera, which can be attached to its movable extension arm, for example, so that it can capture all movements in space and the rolls to be picked up and positioned in the packaging machine.
- the handling device or the multi-axis robot preferably has suitable gripping or holding elements in order to be able to pick up the rolls.
- the gripping and/or handling device in the method according to the invention can also be formed by a driverless and/or remote-controlled transport system (FTS, at least one self-propelled shuttle) that picks up new rolls from the defined feed and places them in the packaging machine.
- FTS driverless and/or remote-controlled transport system
- This AGV or the shuttle of the AGV can, for example, have a gripper arm or the like for receiving and handling the rolls, with which it picks up the roll, places it on a transport support, after which it travels together with the roll to the packaging machine and uses the roll there .
- the shuttle can be assigned its own camera in order to control its movements in space.
- the clipboard can in particular be formed by a bearing block or the like, which occupies a fixed or variable position within the movement space of the gripping and/or handling device.
- the bearing block itself can be designed as a shuttle of an AGV or driverless transport system, which means that it can be able to perform an automatic rotation of 180 degrees around its vertical axis when a roll is to be turned, in order to give the gripping and/or handling system the to have the roll stored there picked up again in the correct position.
- provision can again be made for a camera to be assigned to the clipboard or the bearing block, as a result of which additional optical monitoring on the bearing block can be ensured in order to record the roll positions etc. and to move the bearing block or the gripping and/or handling device into to control the required way.
- the bearing block can be assigned a rotary drive for rotating a roller lying thereon about its horizontal central axis, about its rotational position and/or to adjust an alignment of an edge of an outer web layer.
- a suitable turning mechanism can be assigned to it in order to be able to perform a 180° rotation with the roller lying on it, in order to be able to bring the roller into the correct installation position.
- the method can also provide for the packaging machine itself or its installation positions for the interchangeable rolls of packaging material to be monitored optically.
- additional optical monitoring devices or cameras can be provided in the packaging machine, in particular in the area of the rolls to be replaced or in the area of their installation positions.
- At least one visual identification is applied to a section of a new roll in the area of the free end of its outer material web and the new rolls are placed in their respective installation position or are aligned in their respective installation position before removing the respective outer layer in such a way that the optical markings point in the direction of a respective opposite installation position.
- This at least one optical identifier can be applied to the respective new roll before it is inserted into its respective installation position, for example in such a way that the free end of the outer web of material of the respective new rolls is fixed at least largely immovably on the respective new roll by means of the optical identifier.
- the method can provide for the optical identification to be applied, for example, to a new roll lying on the clipboard, possibly with the support of the camera monitoring the room or the camera arranged on the clipboard.
- the optical markings can also be attached elsewhere in the area of the infeed, if necessary manually by a machine operator or an assistant. These optical markings can be particularly important to indicate the correct direction of rotation of the rolls and to ensure that the rolls are inserted into the packaging machine in their correct orientation.
- optical markings mentioned can optionally be subsequently applied to the rolls in order to mark the start of the film or web of material.
- it may also be desirable to already include such markings in the Incorporate material webs e.g. by printing the material webs in the immediate vicinity or in the area of the material web edge, which can make handling even easier compared to the subsequent application of optical markings, since it saves another handling step.
- it makes sense to have an optical marking in the material web which indicates that the material web is about to end when the roll is unwound. This identification can be monitored and recorded optically, so that a roll that is almost used up can be recognized and a roll change can be prepared and initiated in good time.
- the material web edge must be in contact with the underlying material web layer with sufficient adhesive force so that the beginning of the material web cannot detach from the roll surface unintentionally, e.g. during transport.
- the adhesive force must be so low that the outer material web layer or film layer can be detached from the roll without any problems, preferably also using a pneumatic gripper, which can provide significantly less adhesive force than a mechanical gripper.
- the detachment can be supported by mechanical aids within the packaging machine, e.g. by a pointed wedge, against which the roll is rotated so that it can slide under the material web edge of the outer material web or film web, whereby the adhesive force of the material web edge can be overcome.
- New rolls can, for example, be moved into the area of the handling device via a horizontal conveyor device and can be removed directly from the horizontal conveyor device by means of the handling device. It is also possible to deliver new rolls on pallets, so that, for example, four standing rolls are arranged on a pallet, which are brought into the movement space of the gripping and/or handling device by means of a suitable delivery, in order to be picked up by it and placed in the packaging machine to be used, possibly including the clipboard, as described above as an option.
- a control unit is coupled and connected to the handling device and the room monitoring device and, taking into account a respective pick-up of new rolls from the feed area and/or a horizontal conveyor device by the handling device, specifies clocked operation of the horizontal conveyor device. Likewise the Control unit specify the repeated recording of new roles from the delivered pallets.
- the invention also proposes a device for conveying, providing, handling and/or exchanging rolls with flat and/or film material wound thereon and serving as packaging material for packaging piece goods, bundles or similar item combinations with the features of the independent device claim.
