Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for forming stacks of printed products, in particular books, magazines, newspapers, brochures, from a plurality fed along a conveyor line and compiled on this precursors sheet, which are then processed into stacks, and an apparatus for performing the method ,
  • the invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.
  • Printed materials such as especially books, magazines, newspapers, brochures or similar products are today mainly produced industrially on production lines.
  • Such production lines are formed by serially successively arranged and coupled to each other individual machines, each of these individual machines can have a dependent on the product parameters and production conditions maximum production speed.
  • the maximum possible production speed The entire production line is therefore limited by the machine with the lowest maximum speed.
  • the situation becomes particularly difficult when product parameters change constantly during production, which have an influence on the maximum production speed of the machine limiting the maximum production speed of the production line. This is the case, for example, in the case of a stacking device which, depending on the order quantities of different receivers, is to form differently sized stacks. For a stacker, there are two upper performance limits that can not be exceeded.
  • the first limit concerns the maximum possible cadence with which the printed products can be taken over by the stacking device.
  • the second limit concerns the maximum possible cadence, resp. the minimum possible cycle time in which stacks can be removed from the stacking device. Since the maximum possible feed cadence is a multiple of the maximum possible discharge cadence, thus no smaller stacks can be formed than the quotient rounded off to the nearest whole number from the maximum possible feed cadence by the maximum possible discharge cadence.
  • a first prior art it is provided to solve the problem by distributing the printed products by means of a distribution device on a plurality of parallel stacking devices and then the stacks are brought together again on a line. With enough stacking devices it is possible to process the full production of the remaining line at any time.
  • the disadvantage is the great need for machines, the additional space required, as well as the difficult accessibility to the individual stacking devices arranged in parallel.
  • a product buffer in front of the stacking device, which can be filled with printed products during the formation of small stacks and emptied again during the formation of large stacks.
  • This solution also has the disadvantage that a large additional need for machines and control functions is created.
  • the buffer can be overfilled, if a larger number of small and following stack to be formed.
  • the invention has for its object to keep the production speed constant high in a production line for the production of stacks of printed products, regardless of the size of the stack to be formed in the stack of printed products.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention by controlling the process for gathering the printed sheets into intermediate products as a function of the batch size of the printed products to be formed.
  • the single FIGURE shows a production line 1 for the production of stacks 9 from books, magazines, newspapers, brochures or the like printed matter 10, respectively by serially successively arranged and linked together machines resp.
  • Devices 2,12,13,7 is formed.
  • a control device 8 is provided, which is connected via signal lines 14, preferably a data bus system, with the machine controls 19a, b, c, d of the devices 2,12,13,7.
  • a gathering device 2 feeders 11 arranged one behind the other along a conveying path 3 of a conveying device 4 successively gather printed sheets 11 into intermediate products 6.
  • the conveying device 4 has arranged on a rotating traction means at regular intervals receiving points that are fed by the investors 5 each with different sheet 11, because in each investor magazine each a uniform variety of to be combined with other sheet to sheet 5 is stacked. Each receiving point is fed while passing through an investor 5, each with a sheet 11, so that at the end of the conveyor line 3 each receiving location a complete precursor 6 contains.
  • the collated sheet 11 of the precursors 6 are stacked on top of each other or stacked one above the other.
  • a subsequent downstream binding device 12 which may be designed as an adhesive binder or stapler, the preproducts 6, preferably provided with an envelope, are adhesively bonded in the back region or stapled by means of staples.
  • the binding device 12 may be a.
  • Cutting device 13 may be provided, in which the printed products 10 are trimmed at three side edges.
  • a stacking device 7 the printed products 10 are finally formed into stacks 9 of different sizes.
  • additional conveyors 18a, b, c may be provided if the precursors 6 resp.
  • Printed products 10 can not be transferred directly from one of the devices 2,12,13 in the downstream device 12,13,7 downstream.
  • the conveyors 18a, b, c may be associated controls 20a, b, c, which are analogous to the machine controls 19a, b, c, d connected to the control device 8.
  • All devices 2, 12, 13, 7 of a production line 1 are preferably driven synchronously so that all devices 2, 12, 13, 7 of the production line 1 can produce synchronously with the same number of cycles.
  • it must be determined how large the individual stacks 9 to be formed of printed products 10 should be and in which order they are to be manufactured. If the printed products 10 are even to be formed from different printed sheets 11 depending on the recipient, corresponding data must be provided additionally available. All of this data is stored in the control device 8 or can be read by the control device 8 from a database. For such to be produced, each printed product 10 must be completely under control during its production. The required tracking of precursors 6 resp.
  • Printed products 10 during their production within the production line 1 is the task of the control device 8 with the aid of the controller 19a of the collator 2, the controller 19b of the binder 12, the controller 19c of the cutter 13, the machine controller 19d of the stacker 7 and the controllers 20a, b, c of the conveyors 18a, b, c.
  • the minimum number of cycles resp. calculate minimum stack size, which needs the stacking device 7 for the formation of a stack 9, wherein the number of cycles of gathering resp. the production of printed products 10 is multiplied by the minimum cycle time to form a stack 9 and rounded up to the nearest whole number.
  • the number of clocks collected is 4.5 bars / s and the minimum cycle time is 0.9 seconds
  • multiplication produces a value of 4.05 and thus a minimum stack size of 5 copies.
  • the calculation of the minimum stack size is preferably performed by the machine control 19d.
  • the minimum cycle time is dependent on product parameters, such as length, width and thickness of the printed products 10 to be produced and the type of stacking device 7.
  • the machine control 19d is connected to the control device 8 via the signal line 14, For example, it is possible to calculate the minimum stack size in a controller.
  • Printed products 10 are formed, the control device 8 inserts the difference as a so-called dummy clocks 17.
  • any small stack without changing the number of cycles of the production line.
  • the first resp. the lowest in the stack 9 printed products 16 colored dark.
  • the distance 15 between immediately following lowermost printed products 16 at least 5.Takten corresponds.
  • the difference between the 5 clocks and the clocks to form a smaller stack is filled by a corresponding number of idle clocks 17.
