Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stapelschneidevorrichtung mit einer ersten Stapelpositioniereinrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 sowie ein Verfahren zum Schneiden eines Bogenstapels mittels einer Stapelschneidevorrichtung.The invention relates to a stack cutting device with a first stack positioning device according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for cutting a stack of sheets by means of a stack cutting device.

Stapelschneidevorrichtungen dienen insbesondere dazu, Bogenstapel in Nutzenstapel zu schneiden. Solche Nutzenstapel sind beispielsweise Wertpapierstapel, insbesondere Banknotenstapel. Alternativ können solche Nutzenstapel auch Stapel von Etiketten oder Visitenkarten sein. Es sind Vorrichtungen bekannt, mittels denen der jeweilige Bogenstapel zunächst an seinen Rändern beschnitten wird und danach in insbesondere streifenförmige Zwischenstapel geschnitten wird, die dann wiederum in Nutzenstapel geschnitten werden.Stack cutting devices are used in particular to cut stacks of sheets into stacks of blanks. Such stacks of benefits are, for example, stacks of securities, in particular stacks of banknotes. Alternatively, such stacks of benefits can also be stacks of labels or business cards. Devices are known by means of which the respective stack of sheets is first trimmed at its edges and then cut into, in particular, strip-shaped intermediate stacks, which are then in turn cut into stacks of blanks.

Durch die DE 195 15 705 C1 ist eine Stapelschneidevorrichtung bekannt, die eine Stapelauflagefläche und einen um eine vertikale Schwenkachse schwenkbaren Drehstempel aufweist, um einen Bogenstapel zu schwenken, wobei der Drehstempel zusätzlich mittels eines Horizontalantriebs horizontal bewegbar ist, um den Bogenstapel horizontal zu bewegen.Through the DE 195 15 705 C1 a stack cutting device is known which has a stack support surface and a rotary stamp which can be pivoted about a vertical pivot axis in order to pivot a stack of sheets, the rotary stamp additionally being horizontally movable by means of a horizontal drive in order to move the stack of sheets horizontally.

Möglichst flach aufeinander liegende Bogen können wellig liegen. In einem Bogenstapel werden die unteren Bogen durch jeweils darüber liegende Schichten flach gedrückt. Dadurch ist es möglich, dass Bogen, die weiter oben liegen, welliger liegen als solche die weiter unten liegen. Welliger liegende Bogen weisen in horizontaler Richtung eine geringere Ausdehnung auf. Wird nun der Rand des gesamten Stapels abgeschnitten, so wird unter Umständen von den oberen Bogen weniger Material abgeschnitten, als von den unteren Bogen.Sheets that lie as flat as possible on top of each other can be wavy. In a stack of sheets, the lower sheets are flattened by layers above them. This makes it possible for sheets that are further up to be wavier than those that are further down. Arches that are more wavy have a smaller extent in the horizontal direction. If the edge of the entire stack is now cut off, less material may be cut off from the top sheets than from the bottom sheets.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Stapelschneidevorrichtung mit einer ersten Stapelpositioniereinrichtung sowie ein Verfahren zum Schneiden eines Bogenstapels mittels einer Stapelschneidevorrichtung zu schaffen.The invention is based on the object of providing a stack cutting device with a to create a first stack positioning device and a method for cutting a stack of sheets using a stack cutting device.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 und die Merkmale des Anspruches 11 gelöst.The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1 and the Features of claim 11 solved.

Eine Stapelschneidevorrichtung mit einer ersten Stapelpositioniereinrichtung weist zumindest eine erste Schneideinrichtung zum Schneiden zumindest eines Bogenstapels auf, wobei die Stapelschneidevorrichtung zumindest eine Auflageeinrichtung mit einer ersten Stapelauflagefläche aufweist und wobei die erste Stapelpositioniereinrichtung einen um eine insbesondere vertikal orientierte Schwenkachse schwenkbaren und bezüglich einer vertikalen Richtung bewegbaren oberen Drehstempel aufweist, dessen untere Kontaktfläche bevorzugt höher angeordnet ist, als die erste Stapelauflagefläche und wobei die erste Stapelpositioniereinrichtung zumindest einen ersten Horizontalantrieb zum Bewegen zumindest eines Bogenstapels in und/oder entgegen einer ersten horizontalen Richtung aufweist. Die erste Stapelpositioniereinrichtung weist zumindest ein von dem oberen Drehstempel verschiedenes oberes Anpresselement, insbesondere Greiferoberteil auf, das bezüglich der vertikalen Richtung bewegbar ist und das mittels des zumindest einen ersten Horizontalantriebs in und/oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung bewegbar angeordnet ist, insbesondere um einen Bogenstapel in und/oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung zu bewegen. Dies bietet den Vorteil, dass der zu schneidende Stapel sehr präzise gehandhabt werden kann, weil eine Vielzahl von Arbeitsschritten wie schneiden, drehen oder linear bewegen durchgeführt werden können, ohne den Stapel vollständig freizugeben. Dies erhöht die Präzision des Transports und erlaubt es zudem, allein aus den Bewegungen der entsprechenden Bauteile auf die Lage des Bogenstapels zu schließen.A stack cutting device with a first stack positioning device has at least one first cutting device for cutting at least one stack of sheets, the stack cutting device having at least one support device with a first stack support surface and the first stack positioning device having an upper rotary die which can be pivoted about a particularly vertically oriented pivot axis and movable with respect to a vertical direction has, the lower contact surface of which is preferably arranged higher than the first stack support surface and wherein the first stack positioning device has at least a first horizontal drive for moving at least one stack of sheets in and / or against a first horizontal direction. The first stack positioning device has at least one upper pressing element, in particular gripper upper part, which is different from the upper rotary stamp and which is movable with respect to the vertical direction and which is arranged to be movable in and/or against the first horizontal direction by means of the at least one first horizontal drive, in particular around a stack of sheets to move in and/or against the first horizontal direction. This offers the advantage that the stack to be cut can be handled very precisely because a large number of work steps such as cutting, rotating or moving linearly can be carried out without completely releasing the stack. This increases the precision of the transport and also makes it possible to determine the position of the stack of sheets solely from the movements of the corresponding components.

Die erste Stapelpositioniereinrichtung weist zumindest zwei von dem oberen Drehstempel verschiedene obere Anpresselemente, insbesondere Greiferoberteile auf, die bezüglich der vertikalen Richtung bewegbar sind und die mittels des zumindest einen ersten Horizontalantriebs in und/oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung bewegbar angeordnet sind, insbesondere um einen Bogenstapel in und/oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung zu bewegen. Dies bietet den Vorteil, dass eine noch präzisere Translation ermöglicht wird. Zudem kann eine beabsichtigte Schwenkbewegung beispielsweise während einer Translation durchgeführt werden. In einer alternativen oder zusätzlichen Weiterbildung zeichnet sich die Stapelschneidevorrichtung bevorzugt dadurch aus, dass ein erstes oberes Anpresselement, insbesondere ein erstes oberes Anpresselement der zumindest zwei oberen Anpresselemente, mittels eines ersten Horizontalantriebs in und/oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung bewegbar angeordnet ist und dass ein zweites oberes Anpresselement, insbesondere ein zweites oberes Anpresselement der zumindest zwei oberen Anpresselemente, mittels eines zweiten Horizontalantriebs in und/oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung bewegbar angeordnet ist. Dies ermöglicht eine besonders schnelle und präzise Ausrichtung des Bogenstapels bei kleinen Schwenkwinkeln.The first stack positioning device has at least two upper pressing elements, in particular gripper upper parts, which are different from the upper rotary stamp and which are movable with respect to the vertical direction and which are arranged to be movable in and/or against the first horizontal direction by means of the at least one first horizontal drive, in particular around a stack of sheets to move in and/or against the first horizontal direction. This offers the advantage of being even more precise Translation is made possible. In addition, an intended pivoting movement can be carried out, for example, during a translation. In an alternative or additional development, the stack cutting device is preferably characterized in that a first upper pressing element, in particular a first upper pressing element of the at least two upper pressing elements, is arranged to be movable in and/or against the first horizontal direction by means of a first horizontal drive and that a second upper pressing element, in particular a second upper pressing element of the at least two upper pressing elements, is arranged to be movable in and/or against the first horizontal direction by means of a second horizontal drive. This enables particularly quick and precise alignment of the sheet stack at small pivot angles.

In einer alternativen oder zusätzlichen Weiterbildung zeichnet sich die Stapelschneidevorrichtung bevorzugt dadurch aus, dass die erste Stapelpositioniereinrichtung einen um die Schwenkachse schwenkbaren und beispielsweise bezüglich der vertikalen Richtung bewegbaren unteren Drehstempel aufweist. Dessen obere Kontaktfläche ist weiter bevorzugt höchstens auf Höhe der ersten Stapelauflagefläche angeordnet. In einer alternativen oder zusätzlichen Weiterbildung zeichnet sich die Stapelschneidevorrichtung bevorzugt dadurch aus, dass die erste Stapelauflagefläche eine untere Drehstempelausnehmung aufweist, in der der untere Drehstempel zumindest teilweise angeordnet ist. Dies verbessert die Präzision von Schwenkvorgängen, weil der Stapel zwischen zwei sich gemeinsam bewegenden Elementen gehalten werden kann.In an alternative or additional development, the stack cutting device is preferably characterized in that the first stack positioning device has a lower rotary punch that can be pivoted about the pivot axis and, for example, movable with respect to the vertical direction. Its upper contact surface is further preferably arranged at most at the level of the first stack support surface. In an alternative or additional development, the stack cutting device is preferably characterized in that the first stack support surface has a lower rotating punch recess in which the lower rotating punch is at least partially arranged. This improves the precision of pivoting operations because the stack can be held between two elements moving together.

In einer alternativen oder zusätzlichen Weiterbildung zeichnet sich die Stapelschneidevorrichtung bevorzugt dadurch aus, dass die erste Stapelpositioniereinrichtung zumindest ein insbesondere von dem unteren Drehstempel verschiedenes unteres Anpresselement, insbesondere Greiferunterteil aufweist, das mittels zumindest eines Horizontalantriebs in und/oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung bewegbar angeordnet ist, insbesondere um einen Bogenstapel in und/oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung zu bewegen. Beispielsweise ist das zumindest eine untere Anpresselement bezüglich der vertikalen Richtung bewegbar. Jeweils zwei Anpresselemente können dann beispielsweise einen jeweiligen Greifer bilden, der eine erhöhte Präzision von Translationsvorgängen erlaubt. In einer alternativen oder zusätzlichen Weiterbildung zeichnet sich die Stapelschneidevorrichtung bevorzugt dadurch aus, dass jeweils ein oberes Anpresselement und ein unteres Anpresselement einander zugeordnet sind und gemeinsam einen Stapelgreifer bilden und dass das jeweilige obere Anpresselement und das jeweilige untere Anpresselement, die gemeinsam einen jeweiligen Stapelgreifer bilden, gemeinsam in und/oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung bewegbar angeordnet sind.In an alternative or additional development, the stack cutting device is preferably characterized in that the first stack positioning device has at least one lower pressing element, in particular the lower gripper part, which is different in particular from the lower rotary punch and which, by means of at least one horizontal drive, is in and/or against the first horizontal Direction is arranged movable, in particular to move a stack of sheets in and / or against the first horizontal direction. For example, the at least one lower pressing element is movable with respect to the vertical direction. Two pressing elements can then, for example, form a respective gripper, which allows increased precision of translation processes. In an alternative or additional development, the stack cutting device is preferably characterized in that an upper pressing element and a lower pressing element are assigned to each other and together form a stack gripper and that the respective upper pressing element and the respective lower pressing element, which together form a respective stack gripper, are arranged to be movable together in and/or against the first horizontal direction.

In einer alternativen oder zusätzlichen Weiterbildung zeichnet sich die Stapelschneidevorrichtung bevorzugt dadurch aus, dass die Stapelschneidevorrichtung zumindest eine erste obere Anpressplatte aufweist, die bezüglich der vertikalen Richtung bewegbar angeordnet ist und weiter bevorzugt dadurch, dass zumindest ein Teil der zumindest einen ersten oberen Anpressplatte auf die erste horizontale Richtung bezogen vor dem oberen Drehstempel angeordnet ist und dass zumindest ein Teil der zumindest einen ersten oberen Anpressplatte auf die erste horizontale Richtung bezogen nach dem oberen Drehstempel angeordnet ist. Dies ermöglicht es, zuvor wellig liegende obere Schichten eines Bogenstapels glatt zu pressen. Dadurch werden von dem entsprechenden Messer bevorzugt möglichst gleich große Längen der Bogen abgeschnitten, unabhängig davon, in welcher Höhe der jeweilige Bogen in dem Bogenstapel liegt.In an alternative or additional development, the stack cutting device is preferably characterized in that the stack cutting device has at least a first upper pressure plate which is arranged to be movable with respect to the vertical direction and further preferably in that at least a part of the at least one first upper pressure plate is placed on the first horizontal direction is arranged in front of the upper rotary punch and that at least a part of the at least one first upper pressure plate is arranged in relation to the first horizontal direction after the upper rotary punch. This makes it possible to press the previously wavy upper layers of a stack of sheets smooth. As a result, the corresponding knife preferably cuts off sheets of the same length as possible, regardless of the height at which the respective sheet lies in the stack of sheets.

In einer alternativen oder zusätzlichen Weiterbildung zeichnet sich die Stapelschneidevorrichtung bevorzugt dadurch aus, dass der obere Drehstempel und das jeweilige zumindest eine obere Anpresselement einen kleinsten Abstand zueinander aufweisen, der höchstens 100 mm, weiter bevorzugt höchstens 50 mm, noch weiter bevorzugt höchstens 30 mm, noch weiter bevorzugt höchstens 20 mm, noch weiter bevorzugt höchstens 10 mm, noch weiter bevorzugt höchstens 5 mm und noch weiter bevorzugt höchstens 2 mm beträgt und/oder dass der untere Drehstempel und das jeweilige zumindest eine untere Anpresselement einen kleinsten Abstand zueinander aufweisen, der höchstens 100 mm, weiter bevorzugt höchstens 50 mm, noch weiter bevorzugt höchstens 30 mm, weiter bevorzugt höchstens 20 mm, noch weiter bevorzugt höchstens 10 mm, noch weiter bevorzugt höchstens 5 mm und noch weiter bevorzugt höchstens 2 mm beträgt.In an alternative or additional development, the stack cutting device is preferably characterized in that the upper rotary punch and the respective at least one upper pressing element have a smallest distance from one another, which is at most 100 mm, more preferably at most 50 mm, even further preferably at most 30 mm, even more preferably at most 20 mm, even more preferably at most 10 mm, even more preferably at most 5 mm and even more preferably at most 2 mm and/or that the lower rotary punch and the respective at least one lower pressing element have a smallest distance to each other, which is at most 100 mm, more preferably at most 50 mm, even more preferably at most 30 mm, more preferably at most 20 mm, even more preferably at most 10 mm, even more preferably at most 5 mm and even more preferably at most 2 mm.

Insbesondere ermöglicht diese Stapelschneidevorrichtung ein Verfahren zum Schneiden eines Bogenstapels mittels einer Stapelschneidevorrichtung, wobei der Bogenstapel zunächst auf einer ersten Stapelauflagefläche einer ersten Auflageeinrichtung aufliegt und wobei in einem ersten Vorschubvorgang der Bogenstapel mittels zumindest zweier vertikal von oben auf den Bogenstapel einwirkender oberer Anpresselemente in oder entgegen einer von den oberen Anpresselementen auf eine erste Schneideinrichtung weisenden ersten horizontalen Richtung bewegt wird und wobei danach in einem ersten Absenkvorgang ein oberer Drehstempel derart abgesenkt wird, dass dessen untere Kontaktfläche mit dem Bogenstapel in Kontakt kommt und wobei danach in einem ersten Freigabevorgang die zumindest zwei oberen Anpresselemente nach oben bewegt und von dem Bogenstapel abgehoben werden und wobei danach in einem ersten Schwenkvorgang der obere Drehstempel um eine vertikale Schwenkachse geschwenkt wird und dadurch der Bogenstapel um die vertikale Schwenkachse geschwenkt wird und wobei danach in einem zweiten Absenkvorgang die zumindest zwei oberen Anpresselemente nach unten bewegt und mit dem Bogenstapel in Kontakt gebracht werden und wobei danach in einem zweiten Freigabevorgang der obere Drehstempel nach oben bewegt und von dem Bogenstapel abgehoben wird und wobei danach in einem zweiten Vorschubvorgang der Bogenstapel mittels der zumindest zwei insbesondere vertikal von oben auf den Bogenstapel einwirkenden oberen Anpresselemente in oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung bewegt wird und wobei danach in einem ersten Schneidvorgang mittels der ersten Schneideinrichtung ein Teilstapel von dem Bogenstapel abgeschnitten wird.In particular, this stack cutting device enables a method for cutting a stack of sheets by means of a stack cutting device, wherein the stack of sheets initially rests on a first stack support surface of a first support device and in a first feed process the stack of sheets by means of at least two upper pressure elements acting vertically from above on the stack of sheets in or against one is moved by the upper pressing elements in the first horizontal direction pointing to a first cutting device and then in a first lowering process an upper rotary stamp is lowered in such a way that its lower contact surface comes into contact with the stack of sheets and then in a first release process the at least two upper pressing elements moved upwards and lifted from the stack of sheets and the upper rotary stamp is then pivoted about a vertical pivot axis in a first pivoting process and the stack of sheets is thereby pivoted about the vertical pivot axis and the at least two upper pressing elements are then moved downwards in a second lowering process and are brought into contact with the stack of sheets and wherein, in a second release process, the upper rotary stamp is moved upwards and lifted from the stack of sheets, and then in a second feed process the stack of sheets is moved by means of the at least two upper pressure elements, which act in particular vertically from above on the stack of sheets is moved in or against the first horizontal direction and thereafter in one During the first cutting process, a partial stack is cut off from the stack of sheets by means of the first cutting device.

Mit der Stapelschneidevorrichtung 01 lässt sich ein Verfahren zum Schneiden eines Bogenstapels 26 mittels einer Stapelschneidevorrichtung 01 durchführen. Dabei liegt der Bogenstapel 26 zunächst auf einer ersten Stapelauflagefläche 04 einer ersten Auflageeinrichtung 11 auf. Der Bogenstapel 26 ist beispielsweise zunächst derart platziert, dass eine vordere Greiferkante 72 in Richtung des Transportwegs gesehen vorne liegt. (Dies ist beispielhaft auch in Fig. 7a dargestellt.) Bevorzugt werden zunächst die vier Ränder beschnitten. Dabei ist es von Vorteil, wenn diejenige Ecke 74, die die vordere Greiferkante 72 der Bogen 71 mit einer seitlichen Greiferkante 73 der Bogen 71 verbindet, als Referenz dient und erst mit den letzten beiden Schnitten verändert wird. Darum wird bevorzugt zunächst der Bogenstapel 26 um 180° gedreht und dann in die erste Schneideinrichtung 13 transportiert. (Dies ist beispielhaft auch in Fig. 7b dargestellt.) Dort wird dann bevorzugt die erste Kante abgeschnitten. Im Anschluss wird bevorzugt eine Drehung des Stapels um 90° oder etwas mehr vorgenommen. Gegebenenfalls wird nun eine Translationsbewegung des Bogenstapels 26 durchgeführt, um die Lage des Bogenstapels 26 relativ zum ersten Messer 18 korrekt einzustellen. Danach kann eine erste Seitenkante abgeschnitten werden. (Dies ist beispielhaft auch in Fig. 7c dargestellt.) Danach erfolgt bevorzugt eine weitere Drehung des Bogenstapels 26 um 90° oder etwas weniger. Nun liegt beispielsweise die vordere Greiferkante 72 in Richtung des Transportwegs gesehen vorne und kann nach einer Translationsbewegung des Bogenstapels 26 zur Lagekorrektur abgeschnitten werden. (Dies ist beispielhaft auch in Fig. 7d dargestellt.) Danach erfolgt bevorzugt eine weitere Drehung des Bogenstapels 26 um 90° oder etwas weniger. Nach einer weiteren Translationsbewegung kann nun die seitliche Greiferkante 73 abgeschnitten werden. (Dies ist beispielhaft auch in Fig. 7e dargestellt.) Beispielsweise wurde der Bogenstapel 26 auf diese Weise in eine relativ gering ausgeprägte Trapezform geschnitten. Die im Vorangegangenen beschriebenen Drehbewegungen werden beispielsweise mittels des zumindest einen Drehstempels 08; 29 durchgeführt.With the stack cutting device 01, a method for cutting a stack of sheets 26 can be carried out using a stack cutting device 01. The stack of sheets 26 initially rests on a first stack support surface 04 of a first support device 11. For example, the stack of sheets 26 is initially placed in such a way that a front gripper edge 72 is at the front when viewed in the direction of the transport path. (This is also an example in Fig. 7a shown.) The four edges are preferably trimmed first. It is advantageous if the corner 74 that connects the front gripper edge 72 of the sheets 71 with a side gripper edge 73 of the sheets 71 serves as a reference and is only changed with the last two cuts. That is why the stack of sheets 26 is preferably first rotated by 180° and then transported into the first cutting device 13. (This is also an example in Fig. 7b shown.) The first edge is then preferably cut off. The stack is then preferably rotated by 90° or slightly more. If necessary, a translational movement of the sheet stack 26 is now carried out in order to correctly adjust the position of the sheet stack 26 relative to the first knife 18. A first side edge can then be cut off. (This is also an example in Fig. 7c shown.) The sheet stack 26 is then preferably rotated further by 90° or slightly less. Now, for example, the front gripper edge 72 is at the front when viewed in the direction of the transport path and can be cut off to correct the position after a translational movement of the sheet stack 26. (This is also an example in Fig. 7d shown.) The sheet stack 26 is then preferably rotated further by 90° or slightly less. After a further translational movement, the lateral gripper edge 73 can now be cut off. (This is also an example in Fig. 7e shown.) For example, the stack of sheets 26 was converted into a relatively slightly pronounced trapezoidal shape. The rotary movements described above are carried out, for example, by means of the at least one rotary stamp 08; 29 carried out.

Im Anschluss erfolgt beispielsweise ein Schneiden des Bogenstapels 26 in mehrere Zwischenstapel 28. Dazu wird beispielsweise der Bogenstapel 26 in der ersten horizontalen Richtung F transportiert. Gegebenenfalls wird er davor und/oder danach und/oder währenddessen leicht gedreht. Eine Drehung davor oder danach kann beispielsweise mittels des zumindest einen Drehstempels 08; 29 erfolgen. Eine Drehbewegung während des Transports in der ersten horizontalen Richtung F kann beispielsweise durch ungleichmäßigen, insbesondere unterschiedlich weiter Vorschub mittels der beiden oberen Anpresselemente 31; 32 und/oder der beiden Stapelgreifer 38; 39 erfolgen. Bevorzugt wird also, dass in zumindest einem Verfahrensvorgang, insbesondere einem Vorschubvorgang, der Bogenstapel 26 mittels der zumindest zwei oberen Anpresselemente 31; 32 in oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung F bewegt wird und dabei in seiner Ausrichtung geändert wird, indem die zumindest zwei oberen Anpresselemente 31; 33 unterschiedlich weit in oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung F bewegt werden, während sie den Bogenstapel 26 bewegen. Im Anschluss erfolgt ein Abschneiden eines Zwischenstapels 28. Die Abfolge aus Vorschub und Abschneiden mit gegebenenfalls dazwischen durchgeführtem Drehen erfolgt bevorzugt mehrmals nacheinander, so dass letztlich der gesamte Bogenstapel 26 in mehrere Zwischenstapel 28 aufgeteilt wird. (Dies ist beispielhaft auch in Fig. 7f bis Fig. 7i dargestellt.) Diese Zwischenstapel 28 sind beispielsweise leicht trapezförmig ausgebildet und/oder können dann mittels der zumindest einen zweiten Schneideinrichtung 14 in Nutzenstapel 27, insbesondere Wertpapierstapel 27 geschnitten werden.The stack of sheets 26 is then cut into several intermediate stacks 28, for example. For this purpose, for example, the stack of sheets 26 is transported in the first horizontal direction F. If necessary, it is rotated slightly before and/or after and/or during. A rotation before or after can be carried out, for example, by means of the at least one rotary stamp 08; 29 occur. A rotational movement during transport in the first horizontal direction F can be achieved, for example, by uneven, in particular different, advance by means of the two upper pressing elements 31; 32 and/or the two stack grippers 38; 39 occur. It is therefore preferred that in at least one process process, in particular a feed process, the stack of sheets 26 by means of the at least two upper pressing elements 31; 32 is moved in or against the first horizontal direction F and its orientation is changed by the at least two upper pressing elements 31; 33 can be moved to different extents in or against the first horizontal direction F while moving the stack of sheets 26. An intermediate stack 28 is then cut off. The sequence of feeding and cutting, with optional rotation in between, is preferably carried out several times in succession, so that ultimately the entire stack of sheets 26 is divided into several intermediate stacks 28. (This is also an example in Fig. 7f to Fig. 7i shown.) These intermediate stacks 28 are, for example, slightly trapezoidal in shape and/or can then be cut into stacks of benefits 27, in particular stacks of securities 27, by means of the at least one second cutting device 14.

Im Folgenden wird das Verfahren näher beschrieben, beispielsweise unter Einsatz der bevorzugten Stapelschneidevorrichtung 01. In einem ersten Vorschubvorgang wird der Bogenstapel 26 mittels zumindest zweier vertikal von oben auf den Bogenstapel 26 einwirkender oberer Anpresselemente 31; 32 in oder entgegen der von den oberen Anpresselementen 31; 32 auf eine erste Schneideinrichtung 13 weisenden ersten horizontalen Richtung F bewegt. Beispielhaft ist ein Beginn dieses ersten Vorschubvorgangs auch in Fig. 8a dargestellt. In Fig. 8a ist der Bogenstapel 26 abgesehen von der ersten Stapelauflagefläche 04 bevorzugt nur durch die Stapelgreifer 38; 39 fixiert und/oder gepresst. Diese in Fig. 8a dargestellte Situation entspricht im Wesentlichen auch der in Fig. 7a dargestellten Situation. Ein Ende dieses ersten Vorschubvorgangs entspräche einer Darstellung ähnlich Fig. 8b. Bevorzugt wird danach in einem ersten Absenkvorgang ein oberer Drehstempel 08 derart abgesenkt, dass dessen untere Kontaktfläche 36 mit dem Bogenstapel 26 in Kontakt kommt.

Bevorzugt wird insbesondere danach in einem fünften Glattpressvorgang der obere Drehstempel 08 und/oder eine erste obere Anpressplatte 12 von oben auf den Bogenstapel 26 abgesenkt und mit diesem in Kontakt gebracht. Beispielhaft ist das Ergebnis des fünften Glattpressvorgangs auch in Fig. 8y dargestellt. In Fig. 8y ist der Bogenstapel 26 abgesehen von der ersten Stapelauflagefläche 04 bevorzugt sowohl durch die oberen Anpresselemente 31; 32 bzw. die Stapelgreifer 38; 39 als auch durch den zumindest einen Drehstempel 08; 29 und die obere Anpressplatte 12 fixiert und/oder gepresst. Bevorzugt wird insbesondere danach in einem fünften Schneidvorgang mittels der ersten Schneideinrichtung 13 ein Teilstapel 42 von dem Bogenstapel 16 abgeschnitten wird. Dieser Teilstapel 42 entspricht beispielsweise einem Zwischenstapel 28.In particular, in a fifth smooth pressing process, the upper rotary stamp 08 and/or a first upper pressure plate 12 is preferably lowered from above onto the sheet stack 26 and brought into contact with it. The result of the fifth smooth pressing process is also exemplary Fig. 8y shown. In Fig. 8y apart from the first stack support surface 04, the stack of sheets 26 is preferably supported by both the upper pressing elements 31; 32 or the stack grippers 38; 39 as well as by the at least one rotary stamp 08; 29 and the upper pressure plate 12 fixed and/or pressed. In particular, a partial stack 42 is then cut off from the stack of sheets 16 in a fifth cutting process using the first cutting device 13. This partial stack 42 corresponds, for example, to an intermediate stack 28.

Bevorzugt werden insbesondere danach in einem dreizehnten Freigabevorgang der obere Drehstempel 08 und die erste obere Anpressplatte 12 nach oben bewegt und von dem Bogenstapel 26 abgehoben. Bevorzugt wird insbesondere danach in einem neunten Vorschubvorgang der Bogenstapel 26 mittels der zumindest zwei insbesondere vertikal von oben auf den Bogenstapel 26 einwirkenden oberen Anpresselemente 31; 32 in oder entgegen der ersten horizontalen Richtung F bewegt. Beispielsweise wird dabei zugleich der zuvor abgeschnittene Zwischenstapel 28 bezüglich der ersten horizontalen Richtung F bewegt. Beispielhaft ist das Ergebnis dieses neunten Vorschubvorgangs auch in Fig. 8z dargestellt. In Fig. 8z ist der Bogenstapel 26 abgesehen von der ersten Stapelauflagefläche 04 bevorzugt nur durch die Stapelgreifer 38; 39 fixiert und/oder gepresst.In particular, in a thirteenth release process, the upper rotary stamp 08 and the first upper pressure plate 12 are preferably moved upwards and lifted off the stack of sheets 26. In particular, the sheet stack 26 is then preferred in a ninth feed process by means of the at least two upper pressure elements 31, which act in particular vertically from above on the sheet stack 26; 32 moves in or against the first horizontal direction F. For example, at the same time the previously cut intermediate stack 28 moves with respect to the first horizontal direction F. The result of this ninth feed process is also exemplary Fig. 8z shown. In Fig. 8z apart from the first stack support surface 04, the stack of sheets 26 is preferably only supported by the stack grippers 38; 39 fixed and/or pressed.

Das Verfahren wird bevorzugt entsprechend fortgesetzt, bis der Bogenstapel 26 vollständig in Zwischenstapel 28 geschnitten wurde. Um die entstehenden Zwischenstapel 28 in Nutzenstapel 27, insbesondere Wertpapierstapel 27 zu schneiden, werden diese bevorzugt zu der zweiten Schneideinrichtung 14 transportiert, insbesondere ohne sie zu schwenken. Dort werden Verfahrensvorgänge bevorzugt analog zu denen in der ersten Schneideinrichtung 13, jedoch ohne Schwenkvorgänge oder Vorgänge, die einen Drehstempel 08 betreffen. Beispielsweise werden in einem Vorschubvorgang zwei Zwischenstapel 28 mittels oberer Anpresselemente 62 linear bewegt. Beispielsweise erfolgt dann ein Klemmen der Zwischenstapel 28 mittels zumindest einer zweiten Pressplatte 63 und danach ein Umgreifen der oberen Anpresselemente 62 und danach ein Anheben der zweiten Anpressplatte 63 und danach ein Weiterschieben der beiden Zwischenstapel 28. Beispielsweise erfolgt danach ein weiteres Absenken der zweiten Anpressplatte 63 und ein Abschneiden jeweils eines Nutzenstapels 27, insbesondere Wertpapierstapels 27. Beispielsweise erfolgt dann ein Umgreifen mittels der oberen Anpresselemente 62, ein erneutes Anheben der zweiten Anpressplatte 63, ein weiterer Vorschubvorgang und danach ein erneutes Absenken der zweiten Anpressplatte 63 und ein Abschneiden zweier weiterer Nutzenstapel 27, insbesondere Wertpapierstapel 27.The process is preferably continued until the stack of sheets 26 has been completely cut into intermediate stacks 28. In order to cut the resulting intermediate stacks 28 into stacks of benefits 27, in particular stacks of securities 27, these are preferably transported to the second cutting device 14, in particular without pivoting them. There, process processes are preferably analogous to those in the first cutting device 13, but without pivoting processes or processes that relate to a rotary punch 08. For example, in a feed process, two intermediate stacks 28 are moved linearly by means of upper pressing elements 62. For example, the intermediate stacks 28 are then clamped by means of at least one second press plate 63 and then the upper pressure elements 62 are gripped around and then the second pressure plate 63 is raised and the two intermediate stacks 28 are then pushed further. For example, the second pressure plate 63 is then lowered further a cutting off of one stack of benefits 27, in particular stack of securities 27. For example, the upper pressure elements 62 are then gripped around, the second pressure plate 63 is raised again, a further feed process and then the second pressure plate 63 is lowered again and two further stacks of benefits 27 are cut off, in particular stack of securities 27.

Beispielsweise wird der mittels der jeweiligen oberen Anpressplatte 12; 63 ausgeübte Druck möglichst gleichmäßig gehalten, unabhängig von der Restgröße und insbesondere der Fläche des zu pressenden Bogenstapels 26 oder Zwischenstapels 28. Dazu wird bevorzugt die mittels der jeweiligen oberen Anpressplatte 12; 63 ausgeübte Kraft an die verbleibende und/oder abgedeckte Fläche des jeweiligen Bogenstapels 26 oder Zwischenstapels 28 angepasst.For example, by means of the respective upper pressure plate 12; 63 pressure exerted is kept as uniform as possible, regardless of the remaining size and in particular the area of the sheet stack 26 or intermediate stack 28 to be pressed. For this purpose, it is preferred to use the respective upper pressure plate 12; 63 exerted force on the remaining and/or covered surface of the respective sheet stack 26 or Intermediate stack 28 adjusted.
