Description

[0001] The invention relates to a sheet processing machine with a transport system designed as a chain gripper system and a method for alignment according to the preamble of claim 1 or according to the preamble of claim 29.

[0002] In the production of packaging, web- or sheet-shaped materials are used. In several processing steps, sheets are printed, embossed, creased, perforated, die-cut, cut, stapled, glued, and folded into packaging, for example. To optimally utilize the surface area of ​​a sheet, several identical or different copies, such as a poster, a folding box, or a package, are usually printed on a single sheet and then die-cut. These copies are referred to as a unit.

[0003] A sheet processing machine can include various processing steps such as printing, cutting, embossing, creasing, die-cutting, perforating, gluing, and / or stapling. Such machines often also feature inspection equipment. Sheets are typically processed and trimmed in machines with form-bound die-cutting and cutting units.

[0004] Such a processing machine is designed, for example, as a die-cutting, cutting, perforating, embossing, and / or creasing machine. When such a processing machine is referred to as a die-cutting and / or punching machine in the following, this specifically includes a cutting, perforating, embossing, and / or creasing machine. In form-bound systems, in addition to rotary die-cutting, there are also flatbed die-cutting machines, particularly flatbed die-cutting machines. In these machines, several sheets are processed successively by a cyclically repeating movement. Preferably, the sheets are moved through the processing machine largely horizontally by a transport system, preferably a chain gripper system. Besides a die-cutting unit, such a machine typically also has other units, such as a sheet feeder unit, a sheet delivery unit, a stripping unit, a sheet inserter unit, a blanking unit, and a remnant delivery unit.

[0005] Such a sheet processing machine typically has at least one register device. This ensures that the sheets are held in position during a processing step. This is particularly necessary because simply aligning a chain gripper carriage using a chain can be too imprecise, and machine characteristics such as chain length can change over time due to wear. For example, during a die-cutting operation, a sheet is aligned so that the die-cutting process is precisely aligned with the printed blanks.

[0006] WO 2018 / 116157 A1 discloses such a register device for a sheet feeder of a sheet processing machine. In particular, it discloses a register element that aligns a chain gripper carriage in the transport direction. It is further disclosed that the register device can be arranged at different positions in a sheet processing machine if alignment is necessary.

[0007] DE 102 25 647 A1 discloses a positioning device in a punching machine with a chain gripper system. A stop is engaged via a pivot shaft, and the chain gripper carriage travels in the direction of travel with a stop surface against the stop of the positioning device on its front side. The stop is mounted on the machine frame and can be moved by means of the pivot shaft. The positioning device is driven by a servo motor. Vibrations are prevented by the braking function of the servo motor. In the feed station, the sheets are picked up by the gripper jaws. A sensor ensures precise gripping of the sheets. The positioning device is controlled based on the signal from the sensor.

[0008] The invention is based on the objective of creating a sheet processing machine with a transport system designed as a chain gripper system and a method for aligning at least one chain gripper carriage.

[0009] The problem is solved according to the invention by the features of claim 1 or the features of claim 29.

[0010] One advantage achievable with the invention is improved properties of a register device for aligning a chain gripper carriage. In particular, the new register device reduces vibrations on a chain gripper carriage. This, for example, reduces and / or prevents vibrations and deformations on an arc.

[0011] In particular, a register element with a suitable acceleration and / or velocity profile is attached to the chain gripper carriage so that vibrations are dampened or prevented. Specifically, the at least one register element is moved from an entry position to a register position by means of a cam mechanism. The cam mechanism is operatively connected to the machine cycle and, in particular, to the ongoing machining step. Specifically, the linear vertical movement of a tool is converted into a rotary movement by means of the cam mechanism and, for example, a connecting rod.

[0012] A further advantage achievable with the invention is the creation of a new register device for a stripping unit. In particular, wear and tear and elongation of the chain over time have a significant impact on the stripping unit. The new stripping register device thus considerably reduces the maintenance requirements of the sheet processing machine.

[0013] Another advantage achievable with the invention is the creation of a more compact register unit. This newly created register unit is particularly useful in sheet processing units with limited space. In this document, the register unit is described, for example, for the stripping unit.

[0014] A further advantage achievable with the invention is the coupling of the register device with a tool of a sheet processing unit. In particular, the movement profile of the upper tool is used to position the register device against a chain gripper carriage at the correct moment.

[0015] A further advantage achievable with the invention is that the chain gripper carriage is held in the register position by the registering device during an entire machining step and / or a machine cycle, at least while a tool is in contact with at least one arc. In particular, a registering element clamps the chain gripper carriage in the register position during a machining step or process. This particularly prevents defects during cutting and / or punching.

[0016] A further advantage achievable with the invention is that the at least one register element can be transferred from a register position to a retraction position with a further velocity profile and / or acceleration profile. In particular, in such a way that minimal vibrations act on the chain gripper carriage and / or arch.

[0017] A further advantage achievable with the invention is that a delaying device delays the transfer of the register element from the register position to a retracted position, thus preventing or reducing vibrations on the chain gripper carriage. In particular, the register element is only transferred from the register position to a retracted position when the delaying device is unlocked by the extension of the chain gripper carriage, thereby releasing the register element with a delay. This, in particular, prevents a jerky backward movement of the chain gripper carriage.

[0018] A further advantage achievable with the invention is that the chain of a chain gripper transport system wears down and lengthens over time. In particular, alignment with a unit can then become inaccurate. The accuracy of the alignment remains consistent thanks to a register system, especially a breakout register system. Maintenance can thus be avoided. In particular, an additional register device on the at least one breakout unit ensures maintenance-free operation.

[0019] A further advantage achievable with the invention is an increased quality of the sheet processing machine, since preferably several register units increase the processing accuracy. In particular, the several register units are operated simultaneously, resulting in a further increase in processing accuracy.
