  • the blocking function corresponds in effect to the function of the sensor 2, which detects the presence of printed sheets.
  • this corresponds to a behavior according to which the sensor 8 for color recognition simulates the absence of printed sheets and thus prevents printing of the inkjet print head 1. Furthermore, when printing by means of the inkjet printhead 1, a speed adjustment is made which serves to ensure that a good print image is always produced by the inkjet printhead 1 when the conveying speed of the imbricated stream S is changed. Therefore, the signal of the rotary encoder 3 for the speed of the conveyor belts 9 is connected directly to the print head control unit 6 and processed there.

  • the device according to the invention can therefore be summarized in its function as follows:
  • the numbering / coding facility makes it possible for each printed sheet to be individually provided with numbering or labeling or coding for the internal documentation and traceability of printed sheets.
  • an inkjet printhead 1 is integrated above the conveyor table 19 of a sheet feeder 1 1 for a sheet-fed press 10.

  • the inkjet printhead 1 is in the area in front of the so-called sheet system with acquisition by the pregripper 21 and is therefore not exposed to the acceleration of the sheet in the first printing unit 12.
  • the accessible area of a scale length can be individually labeled at the end of the sheet of each sheet.
  • the inkjet printhead 1 can also be positioned format variable. This is in principle necessary only in one direction transverse to the sheet transport direction R in the sheet plane, since in the sheet transport direction R any of the format length dependent area for printing by the inkjet printhead 1 can be controlled by signal technology.
  • the positioning of the inkjet print head 1 transverse to the sheet travel direction R and parallel to the sheet plane can be done manually or automatically.
  • An automated positioning is carried out by means of an actuator which is driven from data that are recorded or read with respect to the sheet width in the order setting in the machine control.
  • the positioning may in this case also be coupled with an adjustment of the position of a side mark, the latter being associated with the sheet side edge of the printed sheet and being arranged in the sheet feeding device 1 1 and / or an abutment sheet 22 arranged there.
  • the printed sheet number can be displayed in the inspection error log. This means that every faulty sheet can be sorted out of the stack afterwards.
  • the printing is usually monochrome and is to be matched with regard to the printing ink used on the substrate.
  • the printing ink is written in cartridges written on the inkjet printhead 1.
  • the triggering of the inkjet printhead 1 to trigger the printing of the codings or numbering can be based on activation of a
  • the printing position of the inkjet print head 1 can therefore be detected with a position detection sensor system on the swivel arm 27 or the traverse 26 or on the inkjet print head 1 itself. Is one of the sensors 2, 8 in mechanical coupling together with the inkjet printhead 1 in the sheet feeder 20 angeord- net, then the printing position can also be determined via the sensors 2 and / or 8.
  • the layout of the numbering / coding to be printed on the sheet can be easily created on any PC or even directly on the control unit 6 of the inkjet printhead 1.
  • the inkjet printhead 1 When changing the format of the sheet after a job change, the inkjet printhead 1 must be positioned in the sheet plane transverse to the sheet transport direction R on to be printed areas of the scale flow S. This can initially be done manually by the inkjet print head 1 on a traverse or with appropriate, already mentioned above facilities for detecting sheet position and sheet format are also provided automatically controlled.
  • the position of the zero or start signal is to be reset. This adjustment is made by adjusting the signal point of the sensor 4 to the beginning of the free surface of each signature in the scale flow S, which results from the reference to the change in format length. Also, this setting can be automated because the necessary data for the sheet size, sheet position and location of the numbering / coding on the sheet before the start of printing are known.
  • a facility for reading database contents may be provided.
  • the type, content and location of the numbering / coding in a database can be stored with reference to certain products.
  • these data can be transmitted to a sheet-fed press 10 with an inkjet printhead 1 on a conveyor table 19 of the sheet feeder 1 1 and used there for setting.
  • the inkjet printhead 1, in its setting to the scale flow S, the sheet may be formed so that it is placed on a sliding member in the manner of a carriage on the sheet surface. Thus, a constant distance of the inkjet printhead 1 is achieved to the surface of the sheet.
  • the conveying speed of the printed sheets can change as the sheet is conveyed via the conveyor table 19 to the sheet-fed printing press, preferably at least one characteristic curve is stored in the control unit 6 of the inkjet printhead 1, depending on substrate characteristics such as the grammage and / or the fiber direction and / or the rigidity of the sheet is configured.

  • the characteristic curves are determined in advance for printed sheets from different substrates.
  • a plurality of juxtaposed inkjet printheads 1 and seen in the transport direction of the sheet can be seen integrally arranged several inkjet printheads 1 arranged one behind the other and array or matrix-like associated with each other and preferably interconnected on the control side.
  • the number of inkjet printheads 1 required transversely to the printing direction is defined in the first place by the desired total printing width relative to the given printing width of each inkjet printhead 1 used.
  • the required number of inkjet printheads 1 in the sheet transport direction R of the printed sheet is determined by the fact that the desired printing speed is greater than the given maximum printing speed of a single inkjet printhead 1 and by the fact that several printing inks on the sheets using the inkjet -Print heads l should be applied. Furthermore, the number of inkjet printheads 1 in the sheet transport direction R of the printing defined by the desired printing resolution in relation to the given printing resolution of each inkjet printhead used.
  • the or each inkjet printhead 1 is removable from the sheetfed press, in such a way that the or each inkjet printhead 1 can be used on a different sheetfed press or within the same sheetfed press at different mounting positions.
  • the or each inkjet printhead 1 has a supply-side, namely mechanical or ink-side, as well as a control-side, namely electrical or electronic, interface, via which the or each inkjet printhead 1 to an ink supply system and / or to a Control device of the respective sheet-fed press can be connected.

By means of the camera 25 so the printed codes or numbering can be detected and identified. This ensures that each sheet to be processed is numbered or coded, that there are no gaps in numbering or coding, and that there are no duplicate numbering or coding in the sheet to be processed in sequence.
  • the inkjet printhead 1 is pivotally mounted in the region of the sheet feeder 20 or the conveyor table 19, preferably on a Schenkarm 27, the di- directly or via traverse 28 on a side frame of the sheet feeder 20 or the first of the printing units 12 attacks.
  • the conveyor table 19 and the sheet feeder 20 are freely accessible for setup and the inkjet printhead 1 can be easily moved and maintained.
  • an inkjet printhead V can also take place in an association with respect to a lower side U of the conveyor table 19. Then, the inkjet printhead 1 'is directed toward the start of the sheet of the printing sheet following each other in the shingled stream S, since during the shingling the sheet beginning of a subsequent sheet is below the sheet end of the leading sheet.

  • the respective front sheet end of the printed sheets lies relatively smoothly on the conveyor table 19 laterally from the suction belts 9 conveying the printing sheets and can be printed by the inkjet printheads 1 or without any further guide means. So that the coding or numbering is not polluted, it is immediately dried or passed over a conveyor track 29, which allows drying without the print pattern can smear.
