Description

The invention relates to a method for adjusting the cutting register in a web-fed rotary printing press according to claim 1, as well as to a web-fed rotary printing press according to claim 16, which is adapted to carry out this method.

In web-fed rotary printing presses, it is known that information printed on the web along the web is detected and, depending on the deviation of a position actual value or actual datum determined from the acquired information, is controlled or regulated by a predetermined setpoint of actuators with which the printing substrate web is acted upon , The aim is to clock the position of the printed image and thus the copy to be produced on the cutting cylinder, with which the copies are cut from the printing material, so set the cut register.

The information printed on the web and recorded with the sensors can be register marks or else the overall print image, in which case the expected time at which the register mark or the entire print image passes by the respective sensor can represent the desired value. In this conventional case, the sensors are optical sensors, e.g. Cameras, photoelectric sensors or the like. As actuators often movable linear rollers are used in linear guides transversely to the direction of the printing material, over which the web path can be extended or shortened. Furthermore, as actuators, the drives of rolls can be used at clamping points, wherein the peripheral speeds (overfeed) of the draw rolls along the paper web serve as manipulated variables of the cut register control.

In most cases, the sensors are provided in the vicinity of the actuators in order to minimize the distance between the sensor and actuator and thus the dead times of the control. Observation or measuring members and actuators can in known Be provided devices on the printing units, at the printing units downstream Zugwalzenpaaren or the like. Furthermore, it is known to attach measuring and adjusting devices to the individual strands after a longitudinal cutting device, on which the web is divided into partial webs, which can serve as actuators, for example, the drives of Strangzugwalzen before Former of the folding unit. Another known possibility for observation and adjustment of the cut register is in the area of the folding unit on the angular position of the knife cylinder of the folding unit, which ultimately dictates the tact with which the single strands merged into Gesamtheftstrang be cut into copies, and thus ultimately the overall cut register in the folder ,

As I said, the sensors and the actuators are arranged close to each other in the above-mentioned possibilities usually. However, there are also known circuits, in particular control cascades, in which actuators are actuated under the influence of actual values which have been determined on sensors arranged away from them.

Examples of cut register rules can be found in the own applications DE 103 35 888 . DE 103 35 887 . DE 103 35 885 , such as WO 2005 / 016806A1 , Here, a paper web stretch is made by serving as actuators pull rollers before the formers. To this end, Bahnbeobachtungssenoren are provided in the vicinity of the tension rollers, wherein the regulation of the cut register by the peripheral speeds of the draw rolls on the respective single strands and thus by the strain change of the respective single strand in response to the output values of Bahnbeungsungssenoren. In this case, the control takes place in several stages, whereby the cutting position is also measured on the knife cylinder of the folding unit and corrected by the angular position of the knife of the knife cylinder. The measuring and positioning units arranged upstream of the folding unit serve to eliminate all disturbances that have occurred up to the respective measuring location, whereas the control on the knife cylinder or on the total stitching strand via a linearly adjustable adjusting roll shortly before reaching the knife cylinder eliminates the cutting register error serves, which arises between last measuring position of the strands and the cutting cylinder.

Another section register regulation can be found in the DE 199 36 291 A1 , DE 10 2004 051 633 A1 . DE 195 06 774 A1 , and EP 1 886 954 A2 disclose further prior art. The documents EP 1 964 800 A2 and EP 2 028 144 A2 are state of the art under Article 54 (3) EPC and can not be used to assess inventive step. The next state of the art will be in EP 2 028 144 A2 described. EP 2 028 144 A2 discloses a method for adjusting the cut register in a folder of a web-fed rotary press having a folder structure over which one or more individual stitchstrings of a plurality of single stitch strands that can be joined to form a total stitchstring are detected, wherein information printed on at least one of the plurality of single stitchstrings is recorded on the respective single stitchstring, Correction values for correcting the Schnitttregisterfehlers at least one of the stitching strands are determined from the printed information, and the cut register error is corrected via at least one of the respective Einzelheftstrang associated actuator, wherein the detection of the printed information of each Einzelheftstrangs and the correction of the cut register error of each Einzelheftstrangs on the respective Actuator after the passage of the folding structure and before merging the single stitching strands to Gesamtsteltrang you and a web-fed rotary printing press with a folding unit and a folding structure, via which one or more individual stitching strands of a plurality of single stitch strands which can be joined together to form a total stitch strand can be guided, with corresponding sensors for detecting and / or pre-grasping and / or subsequently grasping the stitching strands, partial webs or the information printed on the entire web, actuators for correcting the Schnitttregisterfehlers the respective Gesamtheftstrangs, Einzelheftstrangs, the respective sub-web and / or the total web, as well as connected to the sensors and the actuators control device, wherein the corresponding sensor and the respective actuator are arranged according to Passing the folding structure and prior to merging the single stitching strands to the total stitching string to capture the printed information of the respective single stitched string and the cut register error of the respective single stitching string to k orrigieren.

On this basis, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cutting register control or adjustment, with the accuracy of the cutting register of the folding unit can be further improved and the total cut register error is further minimized.

This object is achieved with regard to the method with the features of claim 1, with regard to the device having the features of claim 16.

The detection of the printed information of the respective Einzelheftstrangs and the correction of the cut register error of this Einzelheftstrangs is provided which are provided after the passage of the folding structure and before merging the single stitching strands to Gesamtheftstrang. The invention can also be used with a magazine folding structure as long as the web observation and the corresponding cutting register error correction are carried out on the single stitching strand. Information is printed on all individual pulp strings except for a single pulp strand external to the entire pultrusion, but information printed on this outside of the entire pultrusion, reference values being determined from the information collected on the total pulp strand and the correction values being derived from the information collected at the other pultrusions as a deviation from the reference values, and the correction of the cut register error of the respective single stitch string to the respective reference values.

The web-fed rotary printing press according to the invention has, in addition to the folding unit and the folding structure with a plurality of formers, at least one sensor and at least one actuator for each individual stitching strand whose cut register error is to be set. The sensor and the actuator are arranged in the folder in a region downstream of the folding structure and the cutting blade cylinder upstream region, ie between the former and cutter blade cylinder. Furthermore, a control device connected to the respective sensor and actuator is provided, which is set up to carry out the method according to the invention.

With the cut register adjustment or regulation according to the invention, a significant improvement in the cutting register accuracy over known cut register controls succeeds. Because in the known cut register regulations is measured at the funnel inlet and the cut register of - possibly superimposed - partial webs set accordingly, and then again at the merged from the single stitching strands Gesamtheftstrang shortly before reaching the cutting blade of the folding unit, then still the cut register position can be adjusted on the cutting blade cylinder , For large hopper arrangements, e.g. With balloon funnels can result due to greatly different paths of the individual stitch strands of the last actuator at the funnel inlet to superimposing the Gesamtheftstrang significantly divergent Schnittregisterfehler the single stitches. With the arrangement according to the invention, it is now possible for the first time to eliminate these different cutting register errors of the individual webs, which result from the folding structure over the different path lengths.

Each Einzelheftstrang this can be scanned with a arranged in the vicinity of the actuator sensor (camera or similar) and with the actuator, preferably a linearly displaceable arranged adjusting roller according to the detected cutting register error (in the case of the adjusting roller on a web length change by moving the adjusting roller perpendicular to the web running direction of the respective single stitching strand). All strands can be individually adjusted to a specified setpoint for the cutting register, whereby the setpoint can be preset iteratively by the printer on the basis of his empirical values or can originate from a higher-level production planning software. In addition, the setpoints can be adapted to the current production conditions. Deviations of the recorded actual values from the preset setpoint value are then registered at the sensor of the respective single-link train, whereupon the actuator assigned to the respective single-link train is correspondingly actuated.

Alternatively, however, one of the individual stitching cords, optionally also the outer stitching cords of the overall stitching strand, could be provided as a reference stitching strand for the other single stitching cords, so that the correction of the further stitching cords takes place relative to this reference stitching strand. The individual stitches are thus all adjustable to the same, serving as a reference value cut register. This cut register error is then present when merging the single stitching strands on all single stitched strands and thus corresponds to the total stitchstep register error and can therefore be eliminated finally on the cutting cylinder.

It is further particularly advantageously provided that actuating signals for at least one of a single-staple strand or the entire staple strand associated, the folding structure downstream actuators are corrected accordingly by pre-recorded, printed on the web or web information. For this purpose, the information, which is known per se, can be used on at least one of the plurality of single stitched strands in the vicinity of hopper infeed rolls, printed on the respective single stitching strand, and / or the information pre-recorded on at least one single strip between a slitter and the hopper infeed rolls, and / or or the information pre-recorded on an entire web before reaching the slitter. In particular, it can then be decided in dependence on the pre-recorded information whether an adjustment may be made to the (or the) the folding structure downstream actuators and / or within which limits such an adjustment may be made.

The advantages arise in particular when, as in conventional methods or printing machines on the funnel inlet already actuators for the incoming into the funnel Einzelheftstränge are provided (additional actuators in the context of the present invention) and corresponding sensors. For as such actuators usually the drives of Strangzugwalzen be used, the peripheral speed (overfeed) can be set with significantly higher dynamics than the length adjustment of the single stitching lines on the there provided rollers. The drive motors of the Strangzugwalzen should be kept at an operating point (a defined standard lead). It is thereby prevented that as a result of an impermissible, lying outside the desired adjustment range adjustment of the adjusting rollers on the individual stitching a return of the lead of the Strangzugwalzen to the operating point (standard lead) is thwarted. As an alternative to the correction of the actuating signals for the individual stitch strands associated, the folding structure downstream actuators by means of the pre-recorded on the respective strand or the respective track information printed position, speed or angle signals of the additional actuators can be used. If the drives of the Strangzugwalzen or other Zugwalzenantriebe in the course of moving towards the hopper structure partial webs or the not yet cut total track are provided as additional actuators, it is also advantageous to adjust the drive of the respective additional actuator only within predetermined limits and always on the operating point or due to a standard lead, wherein a possible deviation from the standard lead is slowly reduced via a regulator upstream of the drive or an actual lead is returned to the standard lead. In this case, a regulating roller which can be displaced linearly can serve as a regulating device, via which a web length change can be brought about, instead of a web stretch via the drive adjustment.

The embodiment described in the preceding paragraph as an advantageous embodiment of the invention can for
The subject of a separate application are made, in which case the features of the other claims could be formulated as optional subclaims and wherein instead of or in addition to the actuators on the single stitching lines and the control of the drive of draw rollers or the cutting blade in the range of Gesamtheftstrangs according to the pre-recorded, on the web or webs printed information can be corrected.

Fig. 1 and 2 show a folder of a web-fed rotary printing press with a folding unit 3, a folding structure 2 and a front turnaround tower 1.

Folding machines of printing presses serve for the formation of folds on printed substrates, wherein according to the prior art for seaming a web-shaped substrate is usually first passed through a so-called folder hopper so as to form a longitudinal fold on the web-shaped and not yet severed substrate. Starting from the former, the web-shaped substrate is transported over several draw rollers in the direction of a cutter knife cylinder, are separated on the cutting blade cylinder of web-like substrate copies, which are then laterally and optionally additionally folded in the folding unit.

In the illustrated embodiment, the Wendestangenturm 1 is preceded by a longitudinal cutting device 5, with which the total web GB arriving from the printing units (not shown) or intermediate modules (drying, cooling, etc.) is divided into sub-webs, here in sub-webs B1, B2, B3, B4 , or B1, B2, B5, B6. The longitudinal cutting device 5 may be formed as a pair of draw rollers, as in the present embodiment, in addition to an acting on the overall web GB, upstream Zugwalzenpaar 4 is provided.

In the Wendestangeturm 1, the partial webs B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 turned with turning bar packages 18 according to the desired printed products and passed over or next to each other and so fed to the folding structure 2. In the example shown, either the partial webs B1, B2, B3, B4 are guided one above the other and fed via Zugwalzenpaare 6 a double-width Hauptfalztrichter TR1, or only the partial webs B1, B2, the partial webs B5, B6, however, each supplied via Zugwalzenpaare 6 half as wide Nebenfalztrichter ,

Between the turning pole tower 1 and the folding structure 2, a linear regulating station 20 is arranged. This contains per passing part of a web of this in the form of a U-shaped loop. With the help of reciprocating regulating rollers For example, the path traveled by the associated partial web B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 can be lengthened or shortened, as a result of which the position of the print job printed on the web can be regulated.

The folding structure 2 contains a plurality of, in the example shown 3 formers TR1, TR2, TRN for producing a continuous Längsfalzes run over the stitching strands HS1, HS2, HSN. A stitching strand HS1 consisting of the superimposed partial webs B1, B2, B3, B4 is guided over the main hopper TR1, and in each case a stitching strand HS2, HSN via the two secondary hoppers TR2, TRN. The funnel lugs are flanked by associated hopper inlet roller pairs 7, which may be preceded by additional pairs of pull rollers 7a. At funnel outlet another train group 8 is provided. The funnel inlet roller pairs 7 and the tension roller pairs 7a exert a tensile force on the stapling strand HS1, HS2, HSN running over the assigned former TR1, TR2, TRN. The funnel inlet roller pairs 7 consist of driven pull rollers.

Subsequently, the single stitching strands HS1, HS2, HSN are fed to the folding unit 3 where they are stacked before reaching a cutting knife cylinder 12 to form a total stitching strand GHS.

The folding unit 3 has a cutting blade cylinder 12, a collecting cylinder 13 and a jaw cylinder 14. Between cutting blade cylinder 12, folding blade cylinder 13 and jaw cylinder 14, the printing material GHS is moved or guided. Other coupled rolls, such as e.g. Perforating rollers are clocked with the cutting blade cylinder 12 and mitzuverstellen within the scope of the invention, when the cutting blade cylinder 12 is adjusted, which can also provide an additive angle setpoint for the drives of the cylinders and belts described below.

To provide a Querfalzes on the basis of the cutting blade cylinder 12 separated copy act cutting knife cylinder 12, folding blade 13 and jaw cylinder 14 together so that when separating a copy of the substrate GHS using a cutting blade of the cutting blade cylinder 12, the separated copy at the top of the sheet held by a puncturing device on the folding blade and is moved with rotation of the folding blade cylinder 13. Of course, other gripping elements than the puncturing devices are conceivable.

As a result, the separated copy is moved to a folding position defined relative folding blade 13 and jaw cylinder 14, wherein when this relative position is reached, a folding blade of the folding blade 13 presses the copy in the folding between open jaws of the jaw cylinder 14, whereas the puncturing the Copy free. The exemplified by the jaw cylinder 14 copy is then moved with rotation of the jaw cylinder 14 and passed to the downstream 3.Falz unit 17 and the Auslegemodul 16.

Overall, therefore, more or less many webs or partial webs B5, B6 or partial webs B1, B2, B3, B4 combined therefrom or individual staple strands HS1, HS2, HSN combined therewith must be combined to form a total staple strand GHS and cut by a common knife cylinder 12 become. As with known cut register regulations, the drive motor of the hopper rollers upstream Strangzugwalzen 7a (not shown in the two side hoppers) is provided by means provided in its vicinity sensors for balancing the accumulated in each single stitching stalk up there cutting register error as an actuator for each Einzelheftstrang HS1, HS2, HSN. This also applies correspondingly to the total web GB, in which case the draw rollers 4 can be designed as an actuator with a sensor provided close to it. Another known way of correcting the cut register for each single stitching strand HS1, HS2, HSN is to use the linear regulators 20 as actuators. Since these are measures known per se, the sensors are in the Figures 1 and 2 not shown.

The structure of the cut register control in the area of the folding unit, as well as the sequence of the cut register control method for this section of the printing press, however, will be described below with reference to FIG. 3 explained in detail.

In FIG. 3 The funnels T1, T2, TN are shown at the top, it being indicated by the three points between T2 and TN that the cutting register control according to the invention in the present embodiment, although guided on the basis of a structure with three formers T1, T2, TN and 3 respectively via a funnel Single stitches HS1, HS2, HSN is explained. However, the invention is not limited thereto, but can be performed on any number of single stitching strands HS1, HS2, ..., HSN. It is also not necessary to guide each single string via a funnel. Rather, the invention can also be implemented if one or more of the individual stitching strands is guided past the funnels or over a plurality of funnels arranged in several stages. These stitches can come from one or more paper webs.

The single stitching strand HS1 serves in the present embodiment as a reference stitching rod for the other two individual stitching threads HS2, HSN. The cut register error of the single stitching strand HS1, which lies in the combined total stitching strand GHS on an outer side, is detected in the vicinity of the draw rolls 11 located at the cutting cylinder 12 by means of a sensor S1. In order to detect the cutting register errors of the two further individual stitches HS2 and HSN, corresponding optical sensors S2, SN are arranged on a location before the merging of these individual stitching threads HS2, HSN with reference stitching strand HS1. Further, in the web of the two to be set single stitches HS2, HSN each one in the arrow direction linearly displaceable platen V2, VN (actuator) is arranged.

The cut register error or position information of the reference string HS1 or corresponding information is sent from the sensors S1A, S1 to a Control device ST transmitted, the cut register error or corresponding position information of the two to be set single stitches HS2, HSN via the sensors S2, SN. From the deviation of the cutting register error (the position) of the individual stitching strand HS2, HSN to be set from the reference cut register error (from the position of the reference stitching strand), control signals are calculated in the control device which are transmitted to the positioning rolls V2, VN or their linear drives To adjust the individual stitches HS2, HSN to be set to the reference value. The resulting cut register error on each of the individual stitches is thus due to the adjusted Einzelheftstrang-Schnittregisterfehler simultaneously the cut register error of Gesamtheftstrangs GHS and is brought over a control of the drives M1, M2 of the cutting blade cylinder 12 and the draw rollers 11 in line with the cutting blade 12, including the control signal S1 corresponding to the signal generated.

Of course, deviations and modifications of the illustrated embodiments are possible without departing from the scope of the invention.
