Description

The invention relates to a processing machine according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for operating a processing machine according to the preamble of claim 13. Packaging is manufactured using web- or sheet-shaped materials. In several processing steps, the sheets are printed, embossed, creased, perforated, die-cut, cut, stapled, glued, and folded into packaging. 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 typically printed on a single sheet and then die-cut. These copies are referred to as a unit. A processing machine can include various processing steps such as printing, cutting, embossing, creasing, die-cutting, perforating, gluing, and / or stapling. Such processing machines often also feature inspection devices. Sheets are typically processed and trimmed in processing machines with form-bound die-cutting and cutting units. 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 machine below, this specifically includes a cutting, perforating, embossing, and / or creasing machine. In form-based 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 largely horizontally through the processing machine 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. A disadvantage of this technology is its limited speed. Currently, achievable speeds are around 10,000 sheets per hour. This limitation is due to the physical nature of the sheet being die-cut. The sheet is brought to a standstill in each unit of the flatbed die-cutter and then must be accelerated back to working speed for transport to the next unit. These braking and acceleration processes put stress on the structure of the die-cut sheet and therefore do not allow for higher processing speeds. The use of rotary die-cutting machines allows for significantly higher production speeds due to the continuous motion process. Rotary die-cutting machines can be equipped with modules such as a die-cutting unit, a creasing unit, an embossing unit, and a stripping unit. One such rotary die-cutting machine is known from WO 2017 / 089420 A2. DE 10 2020 113 375 A1 discloses a processing machine which includes a transfer transport system with several units between a sheet delivery and a subsequent processing unit. The sheets are transferred multiple times along the transport route between the sheet delivery and the subsequent processing unit by transport elements of the transfer transport system. WO 2021 / 233668 A1 discloses a processing machine in which at least one blanking unit is arranged downstream of a sheet delivery unit following forming units. The blanking unit has at least one support element designed as a conveyor belt. The at least one conveyor belt is designed as a transport element with several sections and / or conveyor belt links. The individual conveyor belt links have several holes through which, during a blanking operation, some of the support pins of a lower blanking module protrude at least partially and support individual stacks of sub-sheets and / or reams and / or blanks and / or sub-sheet stacks, acting as a counterpart to an upper blanking module. US Patent 2015 / 0110583 A1 discloses a device for manufacturing packaging. This device includes a stacking unit following the printing units and a cutting unit downstream of the stacking unit. A conveyor, acting as a buffer, is arranged between the stacking unit and the cutting unit. This conveyor is rewound during a tool change of the cutting unit to receive and store additional stacks of substrate during the tool change. Lifting devices are provided in both the stacking unit and the cutting unit for raising and lowering the stack, respectively, to place the stack onto the conveyor or remove it from the conveyor for further transport. DE 10 2020 113 369 A1 discloses a processing machine with a downstream blanking unit. The processing machine has forming units for substrate processing and a sheet delivery unit downstream of the forming units. Conveyor elements of a conveyor belt of the blanking unit have several openings through which support pins for supporting the partial stack of substrate protrude, at least partially, during the blanking process. WO 2013 / 084602 A1 teaches a device for separating waste pieces from sheets in a stack of sheets and for separating the sheets from each other. The stack is fed to the separating device on a lamella of a plurality of lamellae, the lamellae being guided by a circulating chain. DE 103 21 370 A1 discloses a device for loading a three-knife cutting machine with bound book blocks of brochures, magazines, or similar publications. A stacking device and a downstream cutting station are provided. The stack formed in a magazine of the stacking device is dropped onto a delivery table, pushed out of the magazine by means of an ejector, and transferred to a gripper, which includes upper and lower gripper plates, for transferring the stack to the cutting station. US Patent 2,734,744 A discloses a device for feeding sheets to a processing machine. The stack is arranged on a split stacking board and lifted by lifting means, then the top sheet is pulled off the stack at a time. When the top stack has been almost completely stripped, the stacking board is split and removed to the side. The remaining sheets fall onto another stack below and are then lifted along with it. JP H03115056 A discloses a device for stacking sheets and transferring the stack to a pallet. A horizontally movable, fork-shaped support structure is positioned in a receiving position to form the stack. To transfer the stack to the pallet, a lift is provided which has a vertical rod assembly that is raised through the pallet without obstruction from any grid structure of the pallet to receive the stack in the receiving position and is then lowered to below the pallet to transfer the stack. During the lowering of the lift, the support structure is only briefly moved out of the stacking area without obstructing the rod assembly. DE 42 16 123 A1 discloses a format-adjustable stacking station for sheet products, comprising a stacking basket with a collection tray and side, front, and rear stops. The stops are adjustable to accommodate different sheet sizes using format adjustment devices. The collection tray consists of several parallel support bars that are adjustable transversely to their longitudinal orientation using format adjustment devices. The support bars are also movable along their longitudinal axis. JP 2003089098 A discloses a device for separating waste pieces from the sheets of a stack of sheets and for separating the sheets from one another. The separating device has pins with upper and lower positions by which the substrates are separated. A rake-like feeder feeds a stack of sheets to the separating device and, after the separation process and removal of the sheets, conveys waste pieces to a storage station. The separated sheets are then transported away by a comb-like conveyor. This comb-like conveyor has a plurality of conveyor belts that can enter between the pins of the separating device and pick up the separated sheets. The invention is based on the objective of creating a machining machine and a method for operating a machining machine. The problem is solved according to the invention by the features of claim 1 and claim 13. The dependent claims demonstrate advantageous further training and / or implementations of the solution found. The advantages achievable with the invention consist in particular of the creation of a processing machine for processing sheets. Advantageously, a method for operating the processing machine is also provided. Advantageously, or alternatively, a method for aligning at least a partial stack or stack of sheets is provided. The processing machine comprises at least one sheet processing unit, preferably designed as a forming unit. The processing machine comprises at least one delivery unit. The processing machine comprises at least one further sheet processing unit, preferably designed as a blanking unit and / or cutting unit, which is arranged downstream of the at least one delivery unit.At least one transport system with at least one transport means with at least one transport surface is designed to transport at least one partial stack or stack of sheets from the at least one delivery unit to the at least one further sheet processing unit. The at least one additional sheet-processing unit is arranged as part of the processing machine, i.e., inline, downstream of the at least one delivery unit. This eliminates the need to interrupt the processing cycle to transport sheets from the at least one delivery unit to the at least one additional sheet-processing unit, thus maintaining the advantage of the rotary die-cutting machine's high processing speed. The processing machine's production speed is advantageously at least 15,000 and / or a maximum of 50,000, for example, at least 20,000 sheets per hour. The production speed is further increased, in particular, by processing partial stacks instead of individual sheets in the at least one additional sheet-processing unit.Advantageously, a high production speed is ensured compared to previous processing methods, and / or a higher area utilization is achieved when arranging components on at least one sheet. Waste in the form of unused sheet remnants is minimized. The high processing speed preferably features a continuous material feed, in which acceleration and braking forces acting on the sheet are low, particularly compared to a flatbed die-cutting machine. By connecting the at least one additional sheet-processing unit with the at least one delivery unit and / or the at least one forming unit located upstream along the transport path, a sheet processing speed exceeding the processing speed limit of flatbed die-cutting machines is advantageously achieved, especially in the at least one additional sheet-processing unit. Advantageously, a production line for processing sheet-shaped substrates, preferably for producing die-cut folding carton products, is created. Advantageously, a mechanical separation process for separating individual sections of a sheet from one another is integrated into and combined with a die-cutting process, preferably rotary, or alternatively, a flatbed die-cutting process, within the processing machine. Furthermore, the linking of the units advantageously minimizes personnel costs. Additionally, optimal space utilization is advantageously achieved due to the interconnectedness of the units. Thus, the required floor space of the processing machine can be reduced compared to a processing machine with a separate, downstream die-cutting machine, such as a flatbed die-cutting machine. In particular, at least one additional sheet-processing unit, such as the blanking unit, can be advantageously integrated into existing processing machines, preferably optimally within their workflow, for example, in place of existing blanking areas. The at least one transport system, particularly through an adaptation of the transport principle, advantageously minimizes the number of necessary units and / or components. This advantageously reduces susceptibility to errors, costs, and space requirements. Advantageously, it enables the transport of at least one partial stack or stack from the at least one delivery unit to the at least one further sheet-processing unit, particularly without a transfer point. This advantageously prevents edge folding, sheet slippage, and / or sheet soiling. Advantageously, the design of the at least one delivery unit prevents relative movement of the partial stack or stack produced in the delivery unit with respect to the conveying transport system. This advantageously prevents the generation of waste paper on the sheets of the partial stack or stack, particularly through folding, slipping, and / or frictional contact with contact surfaces such as the at least one conveying surface of the at least one conveying means and / or the at least one receiving surface of the at least one receiving means. An intermediate alignment unit located between the at least one delivery unit and the at least one further sheet-processing unit is advantageously configured to align the at least one partial stack or stack for the subsequent processing process. Advantageously, this alignment is automated, with a process duration adapted to the processing speed. Advantageously, all sheets of the at least one partial stack or stack, particularly the bottom sheet, are positioned relative to at least one tool of the at least one further sheet-processing unit. Advantageously, the use of at least two stops, preferably at least four stops, compensates for deformations and increases positioning accuracy.Advantageously, the use of at least one device for generating a vibrating motion compensates for format variations within the partial stack or stack and ensures precise positioning in a target position. Furthermore, the use of at least one transport element designed as a rake allows for a reduction in the number of necessary components, thereby reducing costs and space requirements.

For example, the individual partial plates 1604 are thus guided separately from one another around the at least one circulation element 1606. Preferably, the at least one transport element 1601, in particular its partial plates 1604, is guided around the at least one circulation element 1606 at the at least two articulated connections.

In the case of the third embodiment of the at least one transport means 1601, the at least one first partial rake in the first position within the at least one delivery unit 700 preferably takes over the at least one partial stack 13 or stack 12. Preferably, the transfer takes place directly from the at least one support surface. Preferably, the at least one first partial rake is moved from the first position to the third position, the center position. During the movement along the transport path, a lateral movement preferably occurs, preferably according to the second embodiment.

Preferably, the at least one second partial rake is arranged in the third position simultaneously with the at least one first partial rake.The tines of one partial rake are preferably located between, and preferably centrally between, the tines of the other partial rake, i.e., within the recesses. Preferably, the surfaces of the tines that form part of the transport surface 1602 are arranged in a common horizontal plane. Thus, the tines of the at least two partial rakes preferably together form the at least one transport surface 1602. For example, when the at least two partial rakes are arranged in the third position, i.e., preferably while the at least one transport surface 1602 is being formed together, the at least one partial stack 13 or stack 12 is aligned by the at least one unit 1100 designed as an intermediate alignment 1100.Preferably, for the transfer of the at least one partial stack 13 or stack 12, the at least one first partial rake and the at least one second partial rake, in particular the two parts of the transport surface 1602, are moved relative to each other in the third position, wherein the at least one first partial rake with its part of the transport surface 1602 is arranged below the at least one second partial rake with its part of the transport surface 1602. In the central position, the at least one partial stack 13 or stack 12 is thus preferably transferred from the at least one first partial rake to the at least one second partial rake. Preferably, the at least one second partial rake is moved from the third position to the second position, thus transporting the at least one partial stack 13 or stack 12 to the second position within the unit 1200 that processes at least one further sheet 02.After the separation of the at least one unit 03, and preferably additionally after the removal of the at least one remaining piece 04; 05; 06, the at least one second partial rake preferably returns to the third position and takes over a subsequent partial stack 13 or stack 12 from the at least one first partial rake. Advantageously, the use of the at least two partial rakes reduces the process cycle time compared to the use of one rake.

Preferably, during the alignment, the at least one transport surface 1602 is arranged in the at least one third position within the unit 1100 designed as an intermediate orientation 1100. The positioning of the at least one partial stack 13 or stack 12 in the transport direction T and / or in the direction of the working width is preferably adapted depending on the format size of the sheets 02 and / or on the dimensions of the blanks 03 to be produced.This preferably achieves a positioning tailored to the tool 1211, independent of the sheet format and / or utility format. In a preferred embodiment, the at least one partial stack 13 or stack 12 is aligned with respect to its position relative to the at least one transport surface 1602. Preferably, the at least one partial stack 13 or stack 12 is moved into a target position, thereby preferably enabling uninterrupted further processing in the subsequent unit 1200. Preferably, the at least one transport surface 1602 remains in its position along the transport path while the at least one partial stack 13 or stack 12 is moved, in particular by the at least one stop 1101. This embodiment is preferably implemented when the at least one transport means 1601 is designed as the at least one transport plate 1601.In a further preferred embodiment, the at least one partial stack 13 or stack 12 is aligned together with the at least one transport means 1601 relative to the at least one tool 1211 of the unit 1200 processing at least one further sheet 02.

The at least one lowest point, preferably the at least one element 1102, of the at least one stop 1101 is preferably arranged in the alignment position of the at least one stop 1101 below the at least one transport surface 1602. Thus, the at least one stop 1101 preferably aligns a bottom arc 02 of the at least one partial stack 13 or stack 12, preferably without lifting the arc 02. The at least one lowest point, preferably the at least one element 1102, of the at least one stop 1101 is preferably moved in the at least one recess 1608 of the at least one transport surface 1602 towards and / or away from the at least one partial stack 13 or stack 12, preferably from the starting position to the target position or vice versa.Preferably, the at least two and / or at least four stops 1101 are moved towards and / or away from the at least one sub-stack 13 or stack 12 by means of the at least one adjustment motor, or are movable accordingly.

Preferably, at least two further stops 1101 are placed in their starting positions and moved from these starting positions to their target positions.
