Definitions
- the invention relates to a feed unit for a sheet-fed printing machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Feeding units for separating and deliberately feeding sheets into a work process are known in connection with sheet-fed rotary printing machines.
- the sheets are conveyed via impression cylinders and transfer drums.
- the printing process works e.g. according to the flexographic or offset printing process.
- Sheet coating machines such as varnishing machines are also known.
- the application and alignment of the printing material is carried out in devices for the sheet-fed system, to which sheets separated from a pile of sheets are fed as an imbricated stream via a belt table.
- the imbricated flow of printed sheets can be conveyed over a suction belt table by means of suction belts.
- a sheet system usually has side marks that can work with pneumatic conveying means, and front and top marks are provided.
- the sheet system also contains sensory devices for checking the position of front edges, side edges, an inclined position or multiple positions of the printed sheets.
- System locks work together with sensory devices, which block printed sheets in the event of inaccuracies in the sheet transport.
- Downstream of the sheet feeder are oscillating pre-grippers that work together with rotating transfer drums.
- the substrate is subjected to abrupt changes of direction on its conveying path and experiences significant decelerations and accelerations.
- a feed unit in a modular printing press system which one interacts with the printing cylinder of a printing unit has the first double-sized plant drum with two gripper systems on the circumference.
- a second single-sized system drum is arranged upstream of this, offset in height in the sheet conveying direction.
- a third single-size feed drum is arranged upstream of the second, offset in height, and connected to an inclined feed table for sheet transfer.
- the sheet acceleration system on the high pile feeder is used to process cardboard, while the printing machine is suitable for cardboard and paper.
- a normal feeder is used for paper processing, which has to be completely replaced by a high pile feeder for cardboard processing.
- the application unit is very complex due to the large number of drums. The sheet travel is adversely affected by the many sheet transfers and the curvature of the drums. The replacement of the units when using a high pile feeder is particularly disadvantageous.
- This sheet feed shows a rotating pre-gripper drum with an upstream feed table inclined in the conveying direction.
- the pre-gripper drum has two diametrically arranged gripper systems that can plunge into the drum body.
- the sheets are fed with a transfer drum connected between the pre-gripper drum and a pressure cylinder.
- the pre-gripper drum is assigned directly to a pressure cylinder. Front lays are integrated in the system table so that they can pivot from below.
- a rotating pre-gripper with two gripper systems is known to which a feed table is arranged upstream in the conveying direction and a feed drum with the same diameter is arranged downstream.
- the pre-gripper rotates at half the speed of the system drum.
- the gripper systems perform an oscillating movement on the pregripper around the pregripper axis or around a shaft mounted eccentrically to the pregripper axis. Part of the circumference of the pre-gripper drum protrudes above the level of the feed table, which is unfavorable for sheet guidance.
- From the DE 10 2005 012 527 A1 is a feed unit for a sheet processing machine in a sheet processing machine with a method for Creation of sheets known, which is designed to be attached to a sheet processing plant. It shows a feed table and a gripper system arranged at the end of the feed table on the printing unit side. The gripper system feeds each sheet directly to a transfer cylinder in the sheet processing plant.
- a feed unit for a sheet processing machine according to the preamble of claim 1 is known.
- a feed drum, a feed table and a feeder are combined in one module.
- the axis of the double-sized plant drum is arranged on a horizontal plane formed by the axes of all the printing cylinders.
- Gripper systems arranged pivotably on the feed drum consist of a gripper shaft, grippers and gripper impact strips arranged on the gripper shaft and front lays arranged thereon.
- the effort for air supply to suction belt tables for fans, a multi-chamber design and a diagonal curve correction via suction belts should be omitted.
- the alignment of the printed sheets is to take place in the conveying movement during transport from the suction head, which serves to separate the sheets in the sheet feeder, to an impression cylinder in the first printing unit of the sheet-fed printing machine. This would mean considerably more time for aligning the printed sheets in front of the first printing unit of the sheet-fed printing press.
- the invention is based on the object of creating a feed unit for a sheet processing machine of the type described at the beginning, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned, which in particular allows a simple modular structure and allows improved sheet guidance of the printed sheets with a longer alignment time.
- the invention relates to a feed unit for a sheet-fed rotary printing press with one or more printing units and / or coating modules, which are equipped with a substructure of double-sized transfer drums and impression cylinders.
- the feed unit is provided with a sheet feeder, a conveyor unit and a feed table, which can have a single or double-sized feed drum which is assigned to a sheet-guiding drum of a first printing unit of the sheet-fed rotary printing press.
- the conveyor unit is designed as an endless conveyor system that connects the lower system drum to an upper system drum, the upper system drum being assigned to the sheet feeder. Means are provided for the circumferential adjustment of the endless conveyor system in relation to the upper and / or lower system drum.
- the upper feeder drum is assigned to a feed table and that the feeder table is assigned to the sheet feeder, the sheet transfer on the upper feeder drum being adjustable to different positions of the printed sheets in their conveying direction.
- the lower contact drum is assigned to an impression cylinder of the first printing unit of the sheet-fed rotary printing press and that the sheet is transferred from the lower contact drum to the impression cylinder can be adjusted to different positions of the printed sheets in their conveying direction.
- the conveyor system is designed as an endless chain conveyor with several gripper systems, the gripper systems extending between two conveyor chains running in parallel guide rails.
- the guide rails form a closed guideway including the lower system drum and the upper system drum.
- means are provided for moving the gripper systems on the conveyor chains in or against the conveying direction.
- devices are provided for the adjustable reception of catching forks that engage in the gripper systems. Provision can advantageously be made for devices for the adjustable transverse displacement of the conveyor chains from the continuously running guide track within the guide rails to be provided in the area of the upper contact drum and / or the lower contact drum.
- the conveyor system and / or a suction head of the sheet feeder are each provided with an independent motor drive.
- the motor drives are coupled to the machine control of the sheet-fed rotary printing machine by means of the controller in such a way that the position of the printed sheets transported by the conveyor system in relation to the machine cycle of the sheet-fed rotary printing machine can be precisely aligned with the rotary movement of the sheet-fed rotary printing machine.
- the upper and / or the lower contact drum are provided with one or two independent motor drives.
- the motor drive or drives are coupled to the machine control of the sheet-fed rotary printing press by means of the controller.
- one or both conveyor chains of the conveyor system are each provided with an independent motor drive.
- the motor drives are coupled to the machine control of the sheet-fed rotary printing press by means of the controller.
- the machine speed can be increased because the system drums are always designed to rotate in the conveying direction and the time required for swinging back in conventional oscillation systems is not required. There are also no edge changes on the drive systems, which supports the smooth running of the machine. Retroactive moments on the drive train are noticeably reduced and the drive itself is designed to be simpler.
- Another advantage is the improvement of the sheet guidance. Due to the inclined or preferably horizontal design of the feed table in connection with the feeder drum arranged to the feed table, the printed sheet is less curved than, for example, with a single-sized feeder drum due to the relatively large drum diameter.
- the feed unit can therefore be used universally for processing relatively thin printed sheets as well as thick printed sheets, such as cardboard or sheet metal, regardless of the elasticity of the printed sheet.
- the arrangement of the upper feed drum on one or vertically offset above a horizontal plane formed by the axes of all impression cylinders allows the formation of a high pile feeder with a horizontally arranged feed table at the height of the stack surface. A costly exchange of a normal pile feeder for a high pile feeder is no longer necessary.
- the sheets separated by the sheet feeder are fed directly to the upper feed drum in a horizontal conveying plane and can be applied to the front lays integrated there in its gripper systems. In this way, possible damage to the printed sheet can be avoided, which can occur, for example, at the transition from the sheet feeder to the feed table.
- the feed table is preferably designed as a flat surface and provided with longitudinal openings into which the gripper fingers that are opened when entering the upper contact drum the gripper systems of the conveyor system.
- the conveyor table is arranged horizontally, it is advantageous that the individual printed sheets conveyed by the stack of sheets arrive at their alignment marks on a greatly shortened conveyor path and can be accelerated to full speed immediately. This means that the length of the feed table can be shortened and with a stopper, for example, there is less waste.
- the structural design of the solution according to the invention has a parallel guide on the contact plate between the gripper systems and the printed sheet pushed by the suction head as a contact area corresponding to a conventional contact plate in the sheet feeder.
- the printed sheets can be held back in the sheet feeder by means of a system lock. As a result, there is less or no waste due to printed sheets, which, in the known manner, remain on the conveyor table with stoppers and have to be cleared away, making them unusable.
- the alignment of the printed sheet can take place during transport between the feeder stack and the first printing unit.
- the so-called page register is set axially, i.e. transversely to the direction of paper travel, by aligning the page.
- the alignment with regard to oblique sheets and the position of the leading edge is controlled by the forward movement of the gripper systems.
- a sensor system with sheet control sensors in the course of the conveyor system is connected to a closed control loop and ensures that early, late, double and inclined sheets are recognized on the contact plate and are thus excluded from being transferred to the sheet transport by the conveyor system.
- An individual drive of the sheet feeder is also possible, so that an inline alignment of the early / late sheets could then be dispensed with, since the forward movement of the separated printed sheets can be influenced by means of the individual drive.
- the above-mentioned facilities are completely omitted.
- the alignment of the printing material is carried out in the conveying process during transport from the suction head to the impression cylinder.
- the sheet is stationary and aligned in the leading edge, as is currently standard, the sheet is then pulled sideways against a stop. There is a risk of slipping. There are stoppers and thus waste, which is minimized by the invention. In some cases, the system can no longer be blocked in time and the sheet is fed in. This can lead to machine breakdowns and destruction of the blankets etc. This is avoided by the invention.
- the sheets are aligned during transport between the suction head and the impression cylinder of the first printing unit by an adjustment device.
- This can be a catch fork in the alignment cylinder, which aligns the transport system in terms of its circumference and also corrects oblique bends.
- the gripper systems are conveyed through an endless chain and each must be designed so that it can be aligned. This is possible axially by means of a floating suspension, but an inclined curve alignment or an alignment in the circumference makes it necessary to decouple the transport system from the drive chains.
- Design variant 1 The chain is not driven, as usual, by a chain wheel on the cylinder axis, but by two separate chain drives on each side. The basic task of these drives is to move the transport systems and the printing material. By speeding up or slowing down both Drives, the leading edge can be transferred to the printing cylinder sooner or later. When accelerating or decelerating on one side only, skew can be corrected.
- Design variant 2 The systems are aligned or corrected by means of catch forks, which can be adjusted equally on both sides in the direction of the paper flow and the oblique sheets can be adjusted on one side.
- the chain strand is closed. So that the takeover of the sheet, the alignment and the transfer do not influence each other, the length of the chain must be variable from one transport system to the other.
- This is solved by a spring system that allows different distances between the gripper systems, which can then be controlled in front of each alignment station.
- the system is always pre-aligned in the upper system drum.
- the actuators required for this can be designed electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically, etc.
- a pre-alignment of the transport system can take place with regard to the sheet that is still on the stack, the systems are pre-set and take over the printing material, already in a (pre-) corrected position, in the upper feed drum. In the case of substrates that are already outside a correction corridor, the system can be blocked here as required.
- the sheet position sensors which can be manually or automatically adjusted to the printing material format, detect the leading edge of the printing material on the contact plate after it has been transferred to the transport system.
- the actuators motors, fishing forks
- a fastening (clamp) is provided so that the transport system is no longer adjusted after alignment.
- a sheet-fed rotary printing machine (offset printing machine) according to Fig. 1 has one or more printing units D1, D2 and / or lacquer modules.
- a feed unit 19 with an endlessly circulating conveyor system 11 is assigned to the printing units D1, D2 upstream in the conveying direction R.
- Each printing unit D1, D2 has a transfer drum 4 and an impression cylinder 5 arranged downstream in the conveying direction R for sheet transport.
- a blanket cylinder 7 and a forme cylinder 6 are assigned to each impression cylinder 5.
- each printing unit D1, D2 starting from the single-sized blanket 7 and forme cylinders 6, the impression cylinders 5 and transfer drums 4 are double-sized and each have two rows of grippers 22 for sheet transport.
- the feed unit 19 consists of a sheet feeder 1, a feed table 2 and single or double-sized upper and lower feed drums 3.1, 3.2.
- the upper system drum 3.1 and the lower system drum 3.2 are connected to one another by a conveyor system 11 having two endless conveyor chains 23.
- the conveyor system 11 has five gripper systems 8 circulating on the conveyor chains in guide rails 12.
- the gripper systems 8, bar elements extending transversely to the conveying direction R between the conveyor chains 23 are formed, which have a row of grippers 9 for transporting printed sheets B at the sheet leading edge.
- the feed table 2 is arranged directly following an upper edge, located in the conveying direction R, of a sheet stack 14 held in reserve in the sheet feeder 1 and is aligned essentially horizontally.
- a suction head 13 is arranged upstream of the feed table 2 and is assigned to the surface of the sheet stack 14, by means of which the top sheet is separated from the sheet stack 14 and advanced by means of suction devices 13.1 in the direction of the feed table 2 until it reaches a transfer section Ü for gripping the sheet leading edge by the gripper systems 8 .
- the upper feed drum 3.1 is arranged above the feed table 2.
- the gripper systems 8, which are guided on endless conveyor chains 23, are guided by the conveyor system 11 on guide rails 12 into the area of the sheet transfer parallel to the feed table 2 via a transfer section Ü via the system drum 3.1.
- the separated printed sheet B is thus taken over by the gripper systems 8 with downwardly open grippers 9 on the feed table 2 after the leading edge of the sheet has been introduced into the gripper 9 by the suction head 13 and the printed sheet B has then been grasped at the leading edge of the sheet. It can then be transported away from the feed table 2.
- a device with one or more sheet position sensors 20.1 is arranged below the feed table 2.
- the sheet position sensors 20 By means of the sheet position sensors 20, the position of the leading edge of the sheet of the sheet B that has just been separated from the sheet stack 14 and taken over by the gripper system 8 with the grippers 9 is recorded and evaluated with regard to its position in relation to the machine cycle and the position in relation to the alignment during transport in the conveying direction R.
- a sheet guide device 21 is arranged approximately parallel to the sheet transport path leading downwards.
- each separated printed sheet B is held by a gripper system 8 out of the upper system drum 3.1 to the lower system drum 3.2, where it is transferred to the impression cylinder 5 of the first printing unit D1.
- further sheet position sensors 20 can be arranged in order to monitor the position of the sheet edges in the gripper system 8 in the conveying direction R and transversely thereto in the direction of the side edges of the printed sheets B.
- the data resulting from the measurement of the position of the printed sheet B are used to adjust the sheet position in relation to the processing cycle and the page orientation of each individual printed sheet B.
- a measuring system with several sheet position sensors 20 is arranged on or under the feed table 2, which determines the actual position of a front and / or side edge of the printed sheet B on the feed table 2.
- a target / actual comparison is hereby made in a controller 24.
- the printed sheet B can then be aligned in a controlled manner in a target position for acceptance by the gripper 9 on or in connection with the gripper systems 8.
- the feed table 2 is arranged horizontally, so that the sheet-like printed sheet B separated by the suction head 13 on the sheet stack 14 in the sheet feeder 1 can be detected in the area of the feed table 2 in the transfer section Ü.
- This takes place in a consistently largely horizontal conveying plane through the suction cups 13. 1 of the suction head 13, which introduce the separated printed sheet B into the gripper 9 on the gripper system 8, which is open downwards in the area of the feed table 2.
- the assignment to the gripper systems 8 takes place via leading edge stops arranged in connection with the grippers 9 in the gripper systems 8 and not shown here, against which the printed sheets B are applied by the pushing movement of the suction head 13 before the grippers 9 may be closed.
- the feed drum 3.1 is arranged within the feed unit 19 above the feed table 2 in such a way that the horizontal conveying plane of the feed table 2 runs tangentially to the corresponding gripper system 9, which runs in over the feed drum 3.1.
- the system drums 3.1 and 3.2 can be designed either single or double-size, based on the single-size forme cylinder 6. This can be selected depending on the space requirements and the demands on the materials to be processed.
- At least the lower contact drum 3.2 can be designed as a double drum for the simultaneous reception of two gripper systems 8. It then has a larger diameter, which is favorable for guiding stiffer printing material, so that the printed sheets B to be transported are not bent as much and can thus be transferred more easily to the impression cylinder 5 of the first printing unit D1.
- the upper system drum 3.1 does not have this problem, since the printed sheets B are always received there by the system drum 3.1 in the grippers 9 of the gripper systems 8 only after the gripper systems 8 have run out.
- the lower feed drum 3.2 and the sheet guiding device 21 are adjoined by a measuring system with at least one sheet position sensor 20 each for detecting the position (actual value) of the printed sheet B guided on the gripper systems 8 from the upper feed drum 3.1 via the sheet guiding device 21 and on the lower feed drum 3.2 assigned.
- the position detection can relate to side edges and the leading edge of the printed sheet B.
- the sheet position sensors 20 are circuit-technically coupled to an evaluation unit for the target / actual comparison and to a control system in such a way that the gripper systems 8 can be moved laterally in a configuration transverse to the conveying direction R.
- the functional connection of sheet position sensors 20, evaluation unit and control is such that a lateral movement of the gripper system 8 can be implemented and / or, if the printed sheet B is inclined to the conveying direction R, its positional offset can be recognized and the printed sheet B through the gripper system 8, which is inclined in or against the conveying direction R, can be aligned in the target position.
- the sheet position sensors 20 associated with the feed table 2 and / or the sheet guiding device 21 and / or the system drums 3.1 and 3.2 can be used jointly or individually.
- the system drum 3.2 is in the embodiment according to Fig. 1 directly upstream of the impression cylinder 5 of the first printing unit D1.
- Each printing unit D2 or any other processing unit arranged downstream in the conveying direction R is then formed by a double-sized transfer drum 4 and a double-sized impression cylinder 5.
- the operation of the application unit 19 is as follows: In the sheet feeder 1, a sheet-shaped printed sheet B is separated by means of the suction head 14 from the top of the sheet stack 13 in machine cycle and continuously accelerated in the conveying direction R to machine speed. In the forward movement the sheet is fed to the feed table 2 and is preferably already examined with regard to its position and for double sheets or sheet damage.
- the sheet-like printed sheet B can be aligned with a side edge.
- the gripper system 8 which has run off from the rotating system drum 3.1, is moved on on the conveyor system 11 in guide rails 12 and pulls the arched printed sheet B fixed in the gripper lock from the feed table 2 and transports it, while the system drum 3.1 is constantly moving at machine speed, in the conveying direction R via the sheet guiding device 21.
- the sheet guide device 21 can be designed as a simple smooth or contoured guide surface over which the printed sheet B is dragged.
- the sheet guiding device 21 can also be designed as a pneumatically actuated guide surface, over which the printed sheet B is dragged floating under the influence of compressed air or braking and tightened under the influence of suction air.
- a further or first metrological detection of the printed sheets B with evaluation of the position and corresponding correction on the contact drum 3 can take place. Then the printed sheet B is transferred from the system drum 3.2 in the transfer area to the impression cylinder 5 belonging to the first printing unit D1. The printing sheet B is then transferred from the impression cylinder 5 of the first printing unit D1 to the transfer drum 4 of the second printing unit D2 and in a known manner to the subsequent impression cylinder 5 after the first printing.
- the system drum 3.2 is designed as a double-sized drum, its drum body can be taken over by a cantilever drum at the end of the sheet-fed offset printing machine.
- a corresponding storage position for the standard attachment of a transfer drum 4 into which the delivery drum can be inserted is already provided on the first printing unit D1.
- the boom drum is also intended to accommodate endless chain conveyor systems.
- Fig. 2 the application unit 19 is shown in a plan view.
- the upper system drum 3.1 connects.
- An arrow is shown on the suction head 13 (see also Fig. 1 ) to show the movements during sheet separation.
- the system drum 3.1 here largely covers the feed table 2, so that this as in Fig. 1 is highlighted in dashed lines.
- two arc-shaped arrows are shown transversely to the gripper system 8 and a longitudinal arrow is shown parallel to its extension.
- the printed sheet B can be aligned both transversely to the conveying direction R, ie with regard to its side edges, and with regard to a pivoting of its front edge to the conveying direction by means of the gripper system 8.2.
- the sheet alignment can take place during the sheet transport between the system drum 3.1 to the system drum 3.2, in the course of the sheet transfer to the system drum 3.1 or in the course of the sheet transfer from the system drum 3.2 to the impression cylinder 5.
- FIGs 3 and 4 Possibilities for sheet alignment in connection with gripper systems 8 are shown.
- the gripper systems 8 are assigned guide rails 12 here (see also Fig. 2 ), the gripper systems 8 being moved on conveyor chains 23 by means of guide rollers 10 in the guide rails 12.
- FIG. 3 an alignment element 15 is shown, which moves from a drum-mounted and axially to a stop point that can be positioned on an upper or lower contact drum 3.1, 3.2 when the gripper system 8 enters an alignment opening there 16 intervenes.
- the gripper system 8 is guided between the guide rollers 10 and the guide surfaces in the guide opening 16 in a preselected lateral position before and while a printed sheet B is picked up by the grippers 9 on the gripper system 8 and fixed or transferred in a fixed position to an impression cylinder 5 .
- the printed sheet B can be aligned axially on contact drums 3.1 or 3.2, ie in the direction of the side edges of the sheet transversely to the conveying direction R.
- a circumferential or inclined alignment of the printed sheet B in the direction of the sheet leading edge is carried out.
- the catch forks 17 engage in the guide pins 18 on the gripper systems 8 from holding points that are fixed to the drum and are adjustable in relation to the circumference of a contact drum 3.1 or 3.2.
- the gripper system is thus positioned in the conveying direction R so that the printed sheet B held in the grippers is also positioned.
- the alignment element 15 and the catch forks 17 can be positioned during the sheet travel to ensure an exact sheet transfer for the best possible production accuracy.
- Fig. 5 is in a representation according to Fig. 2 a variant according to the invention, each with a single drive motor 30, 31, which each access one of the conveyor chains 23 and thus drive them independently of one another.
- the orientation of the gripper systems 8 linked to the conveyor chains 23 can thus be adjusted relative to one another with regard to the position of the suspension points on the conveyor chains 23.
- the positions relative to the impression cylinder 5 can also be set at the transfer position at the lower contact drum 3.2.
- the upper transfer position after the upper system drum 3.1 in the transfer section Ü is also controllable.
- the suction head 13 be set even by means of a self-propelled 26 to a transfer position after the upper drum 3.1.
- Fig. 6 are shown in accordance with Figures 3 and 4 presented in combination two further approaches.
- a recess 32 is provided in the guide tracks 12.
- the tensioning rollers 33 are moved in the direction of an adjusting movement S against the conveyor chains 22, 23.
- a movement in the direction of the outside of the deflection causes the conveyor chains 22, 23 to be shortened with the corresponding side of the gripper systems 8 being withdrawn.
- the retraction of the tensioning roller 33 causes the conveyor chains 22, 23 to be released and the gripper systems 8 to be advanced.
- one of the system drums 3.1, 3.2 is provided at the end of the conveyor system 11 in the area of the deflection of the conveyor chains 22, 23, one of the system drums 3.1, 3.2 is provided.
- This is in Fig. 6 shown only on the basis of two guide disks 34, possibly designed as chain wheels or assigned to chain wheels of the drum.
- the guide disks 34 are therefore part of the contact drum 3.1 or 3.2 and carry fishing forks on the outer circumference (see Fig. 4 ).
- the guide disks 34 are adjustably mounted on a shaft 35 of the contact drum 3.1 or 3.2, so that the catch forks 17 can be adjusted in the circumferential direction of the contact drum 3.1 or 3.2 together or with respect to one another.
- the means shown are based on the two solutions Fig. 6 In turn, a shift and adjustment of the movement of the gripper systems 8 in the running direction or in the sense of an inclined position with a corresponding correction of the arc movement is possible.
- Fig. 7 corresponds to a representation for describing a first independently operable drive configuration Fig. 1 elected.
- the drive of the conveyor system 11 in the feed unit 19 takes place via at least one independently operated first drive motor 25 on the axis of the lower feed drum 3.2 in synchronization of the movement of the printed sheets B with the movement of the sheet-fed offset printing machine.
- the sheet separation takes place via an independently operated second drive motor 26 in connection with the suction head 13 in the sheet feeder 1.
- the conveyor chains 23 and the chain wheels of the upper system drum 3.1 are thus set in transport motion by the first drive motor 25 via the chain wheels of the lower system drum 3.2. If both sprockets of the lower system drum 3.2 are coupled to a rigid axle, the position of the leading edge of the printed sheet B can be adjusted relative to the movement of the sheet-fed offset printing machine via the driven gripper systems 8 by the drive movement of the first drive motor 25. In this way, a precisely fitting sheet transfer from the gripper systems 8 on the contact drum 3.2 to the impression cylinder 5 in relation to the machine cycle of the sheet-fed offset printing press can take place in a simple manner.
- each of the chain wheels of the lower system drum 3.2 is provided with its own first drive motor 25, the printed sheet B can be aligned via the gripper systems 8 both with regard to the position of the sheet leading edge in the transport direction and with regard to a possible inclined position of the sheet leading edge by means of an independently controlled drive movement.
- the signals for controlling the first and second drive motors 25, 26 with regard to the sheet position are obtained by sheet position sensors 20 in the area of the feed table 2 and the sheet guiding device 21 in the sheet movement on the gripper systems 8 and fed to a controller 24 via data lines 27.
- the position data of the printed sheets B are then processed in the controller 24 together with signals relating to the machine cycle, which are fed to the controller 24 via a machine data line 29 from a machine controller of the sheet-fed offset printing machine.
- a target / actual comparison is made made, which the measured values are compared with the position data of an expected sheet position given by the machine control. Deviations obtained therefrom are processed into control signals which are passed via control lines 28 to the first and second drive motors 25, 26 in order to control the sheet conveying for correcting incorrect positions of the printed sheet B via their drive movement.
