  • sheet-fed printing presses are operated in perfecting, one can Turn usually after the first printing unit or approximately in the middle of the printing press depending on the equipment.
  • the sheets are in the printing press printed only on one side, they can be placed in a delivery stack filed and turned over by a pile turner and opened as a new feeder pile upside down with the printed side down into the printing press be introduced so that the back of the sheet is initially printed on one side can also be printed.
  • the entire edition printed on the back is extremely limited because of the sheet separation due to the printed underside of the sheet is extremely difficult, all sheets in the conveyor path can be fed through the sheet-fed printing machine and no branches only individual sheets are provided for the turn. So that is an individual double-sided printing of individual sheets using the outlined procedure not possible.
  • the invention is based on the object to realize a substrate transport concept, which substrate safely transported from the feeder to the delivery and for different types of substrates and grammars can be handled with a high level of leadership accuracy can.
  • a printing material transport through an arched material processing printing press takes place in several levels, whereby individual Branch stations are provided in the substrate conveying path. Thereby individual machining stations, such as the Switch off pre-drying specifically from the substrate's conveying path or in install them.

Then, depending on the job requirements, a substrate supply sequence can be created In the extreme case, set one sheet of substrate sequentially can be removed from one of the feeder stacks, so that an individual Substrate sequence during the passage through the individual components the printing unit proposed according to the invention can be achieved.
  • the substrate sheets are preferably by pairs of rollers and Ribbon arrangements acted on the individual sheets of printing material on both sides seize and through the essentially closed trained path promote.
  • a pre-drying module is located downstream of the synchronization path.
  • a branching point upstream of the predrying module in The form of a switch can be the individual printing material sheets, which the Have passed synchronization path, past the pre-drying module into one essentially in a horizontal position above the predrying module extending belt tension are introduced. From there you get to one 180 ° deflection in a substantially horizontal conveyor line to Further processing.
  • the printing material conveyance be it paper sheets, cardboard sheets or film sections in sheet form, essentially takes place on both sides of the printing material conveying path arranged pairs of rollers of the same or different diameters, depending on the configuration and desired redirection as well as by Belt pulls.
  • Belt pulls are preferred as central, elastic middle straps trained the printing material essentially in its middle section take so that the processability of all given substrate formats in the printing unit proposed according to the invention is possible.
  • the invention proposed substrate concept consists of a combination of cooperating roller and middle belt conveyance of the Substrate through the entire printing unit. Center straps are used at both one on top of the other, not affecting the sheet position but only that Sheet transport belt arrangements used, as well as within the Turning module.
  • the print modules two substrates and one for one turn branching switch downstream.
  • This switch can be used, for example eject a sheet printed on one side from the substrate feed path, individual printing material stacks can be formed; a further 180 ° deflection is provided, as well as a subsequent turning path, with which the printing material, which is initially printed on one side, is a reversible module be fed.
  • the turning module turns the individual substrate sheets while keeping their leading edge in position.
  • individual bends can be added to the turn module are fed via the turning path, with the turned bow on another confluence with that of the synchronization path
  • Predrying module immediate conveying path can be introduced. This means that individual sheets can only be used on one side and on both sides print, this does not affect the printing sequence within the printing unit Influence.
  • the switch that follows the print module allows it to individually stamp a predetermined turn so that only individual sheets can be printed on both sides.
  • the invention can be applied in particular to a digitally operating printing unit use, for example, according to the electrography or electrophotography principle can work and in their printing module a rotating body is recorded, on the lateral surface of an electrographic, a electrophotographic, or generally speaking, an image bearing layer is trained.
  • the single figure shows the side view of a proposed according to the invention Printing unit with three different feeder stations and in several Plain printing substrate path, one predrying unit, three various stack injection entrances, a double sheet control Predrying module, as well as several branching points in the substrate conveying path containing.
  • the device according to the invention proposed printing unit of the printing material to be processed on three or several different investors.
  • the investors substrate materials such as cardboard sheets, paper sheets, Foils or the like contain and do not have any here shown separation devices.
  • the first input 26 assigned to the feeder A contains in the illustration 1, for example, a conveyor belt conveyor 4, which consists of a upper conveyor belt 4.1 and a lower conveyor belt 4.2.
  • the first conveyor belt is the longitudinal extent of the pair below the conveyor belt 4 lying feeder stack B or C bridges.
  • To the pair of conveyor belts 4.1 or 4.2 is followed by a pair of rollers that hold the substrate takes over from the feeder A and enters the sheet transport path 7.
  • a double sheet control 6 is provided in the printing material conveying path 7.
  • the Double sheet control 6 can be used, for example, as capacitive, inductive or as Be transmitted light control trained. Will the presence of a double sheet recognized by the double sheet control 6, the double sheet is in the context of a Double sheet detection by a first branch 24 in a double sheet discharge 8 passed, from which it can then be removed. Correctly isolated sheets of substrate are transferred to the synchronization path.
  • the synchronization path 9 is followed by a second branch 10. On the second branch 10 in the printing material conveying path 7 can be avoided Conditioning unit 11 arranged downstream of second branch 10.
  • the printing material is not the conditioning unit 11 fed, but arrives in a substantially vertical extending section of the conveying path to enter the conditioning unit 11 bridging pair of conveyor belts to be introduced.
  • the pair of conveyor belts preferably designed as a central belt, runs around individual Deflection rollers 21 around and promotes the ejected at the first switch 10 Printing material copies over the conditioning unit 11.
  • Conditioning unit 11 spanning a conveyor belt pair closes a deflection of the substrate conveying path 7 describing a 180 ° arc, before it extends into a substantially horizontal position Conveyor section 13 opens.
  • the second branch point 10 If, however, the second branch point 10 is not activated, the run individual printing material copies that have passed the calming section 9 in the conditioning unit 11 and are acted upon by this and dried. Then the bends undergo a 90 ° deflection in order to move in run in substantially vertical conveyor belt 12.
