Description

[0001] The invention relates to a machining unit and a method for positioning at least one tool of a machining unit according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 12.

[0002] In the production of packaging, web- or sheet-shaped materials are used. In several processing steps, the substrates are, for example, printed, embossed, scored, perforated, die-cut, cut, stapled, glued, and folded into packaging. To optimally utilize the surface area of ​​a sheet-shaped substrate, also called 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 processing machine can include various processing steps such as printing, cutting, embossing, creasing, die-cutting, perforating, stripping, blanking, gluing, and / or stapling. Such processing machines often also feature inspection equipment. Sheets are typically processed and trimmed in processing machines with form-based die-cutting and cutting units. Such a processing machine is, for example, 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.

[0004] In flatbed die-cutting machines, several individual sheets are processed sequentially, i.e., individually, by a cyclically repeating movement of movable tools, preferably changing their shape. The sheets are moved largely horizontally through the sheet-processing units of the machine, in particular a die-cutting unit and / or stripping unit and / or blanking unit, by a transport system, preferably a chain gripper system. In addition to the die-cutting unit, such a machine also has other units, such as a sheet feeder unit, a sheet delivery unit, and / or the stripping unit. For example, a sheet inserter unit, a blanking unit, and / or a remnant delivery unit may also be provided.

[0005] WO 2021 / 089291 A1 discloses a sheet processing machine comprising several movable processing units.

[0006] To ensure high quality of the products produced, correct positioning of the tools of a machining unit relative to each other and / or relative to the substrate to be machined is necessary.

[0007] US Patent 6,718,856 B2 discloses a machining center with a stripping station that includes an upper tool holder. The tool holder has a front rail with a groove and a rear rail with a groove, into which an upper stripping board can be inserted. The rear rail is adjusted longitudinally relative to the front rail to fix the stripping board. The front rail normally remains fixed relative to the tool holder during machining operations and tool changes. However, to prevent minor errors in the manufacture or adjustment of an upper tool, manually controlled devices are provided for micrometric adjustment of the position. For example, a centering block is adjustable with respect to its transverse position by means of a knurled knob. The front rail is adjustable in its longitudinal and / or angular position by means of two independently operating knurled knobs.

[0008] A disadvantage of the known prior art is that only individual elements of the tool holder, such as the front rail, the rear rail, or the centering block, can be adjusted. Therefore, a breakout board can only be clamped after the adjustment process is complete. Changes in position due to clamping are thus disregarded.

[0009] MOYER, Ilan E.: CoreXY: Waterjet Aluminum Revision 1. corexy.com, 2012 URL: http: / / corexy.com / corexyr1 / index.html [accessed on 03.06.2025] shows a device for milling a printed circuit board comprising a milling table.

[0010] WO 2022 / 161916 A1 teaches a tool for processing sheet material comprising a support frame and a multi-purpose interface for optionally connecting a first tool element for processing the sheet material to the support frame.

[0011] The invention is based on the objective of creating a machining unit and a method for positioning at least one tool of a machining unit.

[0012] The problem is solved according to the invention by the features of claim 1 and claim 12.

[0013] The dependent claims show advantageous designs.

[0014] A machining unit is created. At least one tool of the machining unit has at least one tool holder. In a preferred embodiment, the tool and / or the tool holder is designed to be movable by stroke. The tool holder has a first frame part and a second frame part. The second frame part can be positioned and / or is positioned relative to the first frame part within a plane parallel to a machining plane of the substrate, preferably adjustable from a first position to a second position. At least one actuator is designed to position the second frame part relative to the first frame part within the plane parallel to the machining plane of the substrate.

[0015] The at least one tool holder has at least one front rail designed to hold a carrier of at least one machining component in a front region of the carrier and at least one rear rail designed to hold the carrier in a rear region of the carrier. The at least one front rail and the at least one rear rail form the common second frame part of the at least one tool holder. The second frame part with the fixed carrier is adjusted relative to the first frame part of the at least one tool holder within the plane parallel to the machining plane of the substrate from a first position to a second position. Advantageously, this creates a positioning of the carrier of machining components in a state fixed to the tool holder. Play between the components of the tool holder is minimized.Advantageously, positioning accuracy is increased. Tool changes are facilitated, and the tool holder is ergonomically designed, thus reducing operator strain. Setup times are minimized, and reproducibility for repeat orders is improved. The system also advantageously increases the flexibility to use different workpiece carriers, particularly those of varying thicknesses.

[0016] The at least one actuator, in a preferred additional or alternative embodiment, includes at least one actuator motor and / or the second frame section is motor-driven between the first and second positions by at least one actuator. Advantageously, this simplifies handling and minimizes setup times. Positioning errors by the operator are minimized, and reproducibility for repeat orders is improved. Advantageously, positioning accuracy is increased.

The at least one support 419; 422 and the at least one clamping element 428 are preferably arranged to interact, such that when the at least one clamping element 428 is activated, a carrier 408 arranged between the support 419; 422 and the clamping element 428 is fixed in its position relative to the rib 418; 421 having the fixing mechanism.Thus, the at least one support 419; 422 and the at least one clamping element 428 are preferably arranged and / or designed to interact for clamping the carrier 408. The at least one clamping element 428 is particularly preferably pneumatically actuated, or alternatively, for example, hydraulically or electrically. Preferably, the at least one fixing mechanism for actuating the at least one clamping element 428 has at least one pneumatic drive or an electric motor as its drive. Preferably, the at least one fixing mechanism for fixing the carrier 408 to the tool holder 409 is remotely actuated.

[0071] At least one actuator for actuating the at least one clamping element 428 is preferably connected to the control unit of the control system 1100. The control unit is preferably configured to send at least one actuation signal to the at least one actuator. An actuator is preferably a drive unit that converts a signal, preferably an electronic signal, into mechanical movement, force, pressure, or torque. The at least one clamping element 428 is preferably moved between a clamped and released state by the at least one actuator via the control unit.

[0072] In the clamped state, the at least one clamping element 428 preferably has a shorter distance to the corresponding at least one support 419; 422 than in the released state.

Preferably, in the released state, the clamping element 428 is spaced at a greater than zero distance from the carrier 408 arranged on the strip 418; 421. Advantageously, when the carrier 408 is arranged on the at least one strip 418; 421, it is contacted by the at least one support 419; 422 and the at least one clamping element 428 when the clamping element 428 is clamped, whereas in the released state, the at least one clamping element 428 preferably has play relative to the carrier 408, and is preferably spaced apart.Advantageously, the carrier 408 is securely fixed to the tool holder 409, independent of the thickness of the carrier 408, thus increasing the variability of the use of the tool holder 409.

[0073] Preferably, the fixing mechanisms of the at least one front and rear strip 418; 421 are designed to interact together, for example, by a common actuator and / or common control. However, it is particularly preferred that the fixing mechanisms can be actuated separately, preferably individually controlled, especially by a signal connection from at least one actuator of the fixing mechanism to a control unit of the control system 1100. Advantageously, this allows, for example, the clamping of the carrier 408 on the front strip 418, while no clamping yet takes place on the rear strip 421, and thus the rear strip 421 can be adjusted relative to the front strip 418, for example, to adapt to the dimensions of the carrier 408.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, the at least one tool holder 409 has at least one adjusting mechanism 423, which is configured to adjust the distance between the at least one front bar 418 and the at least one rear bar 421.

In particular, the distance between the bars 418 and 421 can be adjusted to the length of the carrier 408 to be inserted, so that the carrier is securely held by the front and rear bars 418 and 421 when it is arranged on the tool holder 409. For example, the at least one adjusting mechanism 423 has at least one spindle, at least one actuating element, and / or at least one gear.Particularly preferably, at least one locking element, for example a latch, is designed to lock the at least one adjustable strip 418; 421, preferably the rear strip 421, in the position set by the at least one adjusting mechanism 423 and / or to release it for adjustment.

Advantageously, this increases the accuracy of the positioning of the carrier 408. Preferably, the at least one tool centering device 429 is arranged on the at least one front rail 418. For example, at least one latch, which is particularly preferably also arranged on the at least one front rail 418, is designed to actuate and / or release the tool centering device.

[0076] The at least one tool holder 409 preferably has at least one central holding mechanism designed for holding, preferably for clamping, the carrier 408 of the at least one machining component 406 in a central region of the carrier 408. The central holding mechanism is preferably arranged in the transport direction T between the at least one front edge 418 and the at least one rear edge 421. The central region of the carrier 408 is preferably a region along its surface between the front and rear regions, for example, the middle 30% to 70% of the carrier between its front and rear edges, particularly with respect to the transport direction T. Advantageously, the central holding mechanism stabilizes the carrier 408 along its surface between its front and rear edges during the machining process.In particular, the central holding mechanism not only supports the flatness of the carrier 408 during the machining process by forming a stop, but also securely holds the carrier 408 in its position. Therefore, the stability of the carrier 408 is advantageously increased by the central holding mechanism compared to a stop-forming beam of the tool holder 409.

[0077] The at least one central holding mechanism particularly preferably comprises at least one profile rail 424, preferably a hollow profile rail 424, which is designed such that at least one corresponding holding element 430 of the support 408 to be held can be arranged to engage in the profile rail 424. For example, the at least one profile rail 424 forms a central strip 424 arranged between the front and rear strips 418; 421. The at least one holding element 430 of the support 408 is preferably T-shaped or L-shaped, and particularly preferably forms a mushroom element 430.

Preferably, when the at least one clamping element 428 is activated, a support 408 arranged on the profile rail 424 is contacted by the at least one clamping element 428 and pressed against a portion of the profile rail 424. By means of the at least one actuated clamping element 428, the support 408 arranged on the at least one profile rail 424 is preferably fixed in its position relative to the profile rail 424.Thus, the at least one profile rail 424 and the at least one clamping body 428 are preferably arranged and / or designed to interact for clamping the support 408. Preferably, the at least one central holding mechanism has an actuating mechanism for actuating the at least one clamping body 428, which is identical to the mechanism actuating the clamping body 428 of the at least one front and / or rear rail 418; 421.

Preferably, the at least one profile rail 424 is adjusted in such a position that it can come into operative contact with the at least one holding element 430 of the carrier 408. Advantageously, this allows adaptation to different thicknesses of the carrier 408 to be used and thus increases the usability of the tool holder 409 for different machining operations.For example, the at least one adjusting mechanism 427 has at least one spindle, at least one actuating element and / or at least one gear. Particularly preferably, at least one locking element, for example a latch, is designed to lock the at least one profile rail 424 in the position set by the at least one adjusting mechanism 427 and / or to release it for adjustment.

Advantageously, this allows adaptation to different positions of the at least one holding element 430 of the carrier 408 along its surface and thus increases the usability of the tool holder 409 for different machining operations. For example, the at least one adjusting mechanism 426 comprises at least one spindle, at least one actuating element, and / or at least one gear unit. Particularly preferably, at least one locking element, for example, a latch, is configured to lock the at least one profile rail 424 in the position set by the at least one adjusting mechanism 426 and / or to release it for adjustment.

The first frame part 411 preferably has at least one crossbeam 412; 413, i.e., a mechanical support. In particular, at least one longitudinal crossbeam 412, which is preferably oriented with a larger component in the transport direction T, and at least one transverse crossbeam 413, which is preferably oriented with a larger component in the transverse direction A, form the first frame part 411. For example, the crossbeams 412; 413 of the first frame part 411 form a framework structure.Preferably, the first frame section 411 has at least two frame structures, each preferably formed by at least two longitudinal beams 412 with transverse beams 413 arranged thereon and connecting the longitudinal beams 412. The at least two frame structures are preferably arranged one behind the other in the transverse direction A. The at least two frame structures preferably together form the first frame section 411, particularly due to their fixed design with respect to their positioning within the plane parallel to the processing plane of substrate 02. The beams 412 and 413 of the first frame section 411 are positioned fixed relative to each other.

[0083] The at least one tool holder 409 has at least one second frame part 414. The at least one front rail 418 and the at least one rear rail 421 form the second frame part 414 as a common second frame part 414 of the at least one tool holder 409. They thus preferably form a common subframe next to the at least one first frame part 411, so that a common movement relative to the first frame part 411 is advantageously enabled. The second frame part 414 particularly preferably also has the at least one middle holding mechanism, in particular the at least one profile rail 424. Play between the components of the tool holder 409 is advantageously minimized.

Preferably, the crossbeams 416; 417 of the second frame section 414 mechanically connect the front and rear rails 418; 421 and, more preferably, also the at least one central holding mechanism, so that a common movement relative to the first frame section 411 is possible.

[0085] At least one actuator is configured to position the second frame part 414 relative to the first frame part 411 within a plane parallel to the machining plane of substrate 02. At least three actuators are configured to position the second frame part 414 relative to the first frame part 411 within a plane parallel to the machining plane of substrate 02. The second frame part 414 has at least one front rail 418 and at least one rear rail 421, and particularly preferably also at least one middle holding mechanism. Due to the design of the second frame part 414, the at least one actuator positions the at least one front and rear rail 418; 421, and particularly preferably also the at least one middle holding mechanism, advantageously together, as a unit. This saves setup time and facilitates the handling of the tool holder 409.In particular, a previously fixed carrier 408 can be positioned by the second frame part 414. Position changes caused by clamping the carrier 408 to the tool holder 409 are advantageously taken into account during positioning. Play between the components of the tool holder 409 is minimized. The positioning accuracy is advantageously increased.

[0086] The second frame part 414, which is preferably adapted or adaptable to the carrier 408 to be used, is positioned and / or positionable relative to the first frame part 411 in the first position or in at least one second position, in particular for aligning the tool holder 409 relative to the substrate 02 to be machined and / or a corresponding further tool 302; 303; 402; 403; 404; 502; 503 of the machining unit 300; 400; 500. Advantageously, this results in positioning of the tool 302; 303; 402; 403; 404; 502; 503 with particularly high accuracy.

[0087] The relative positioning of the frame parts 411; 414 to each other is particularly preferably carried out in an unequipped state, i.e., without a carrier 408 having at least one machining component 406 on the strips 418; 421, and / or in an equipped state, i.e., with the carrier 408 arranged on the strips 418; 421.

Preferably, a free removal path for the carrier 408 is provided when the second frame part 414 is installed, or the removal path for the carrier 408 is released during the changeover process without removing the second frame part 414 from its installed position. The first frame part 411 and the second frame part 414 are preferably arranged relative to each other such that the first frame part 411 forms a limit to the movement of the second frame part 414 acting in and / or against the transverse direction A.Preferably, the first frame part 411 and the second frame part 414 intersect each other in a projection onto a plane whose normal vector forms the transverse direction A, i.e., preferably in a side view. Preferably, the first frame part 411 forms a stop for the second frame part 414 at at least one point in the plane parallel to the processing plane of substrate 02, acting in and / or against the transverse direction A, which prevents and / or counteracts the removal of the second frame part 414. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the second frame part 414 is therefore not designed to be fully removable, i.e., it is not a sliding frame. Advantageously, the number of parts to be removed during a changeover process is reduced, weight is reduced, and thus the operator is relieved of strain. In addition, more installation space is advantageously available for further components, since the space required for the removal path is smaller.

In particular, the tool holder 409 is installed in the machining unit 300; 400; 500 when the machining machine 01 is put into operation and remains in this position during the machining operations to be carried out and during changes between machining operations.

[0105] During substrate processing, in a preferred embodiment, the at least one tool holder 409 with the attached carrier 408 is adjusted in and against the vertical direction V, thus moving the tool 302; 303; 402; 403; 404; 502; 503. With a tool holder 409 that moves in a stroke, the at least one actuator, preferably the at least three actuators, is moved along with the tool holder 409 during a stroke movement, preferably in the stroke direction, i.e., in particular in and / or against the vertical direction V, especially since it is preferably arranged on the first frame part 411. In an alternative embodiment, for example for the lower blanking tool 503 and / or the middle stripping tool 403, the at least one tool holder 409 is fixed with respect to the vertical direction V during substrate processing.

[0106] The at least one tool 302; 303; 402; 403; 404; 502; 503, preferably the at least one movable tool 302; 402; 404; 502, of the at least one machining unit 300; 400; 500 is positioned by a method.

[0107] Preferably, order data for at least one subsequent processing order and / or position data, in particular at least one target position, of the second frame part 414 are loaded from the at least one memory of the control unit and / or opened and / or re-entered. For example, the operator operates a control element, which is preferably displayed and / or arranged on the at least one display device, preferably an operator display, whereby the control unit of the control system 1100 preferably receives a control signal and then activates the at least one memory and / or provides an input mask for entering new data. The loaded order data is preferably processed by the control unit to control the machine components, in particular to control the actuators of the tool holder 409.For example, the data processing by the control unit occurs without additional display of the data, at least the position data, on the display device. Preferably, however, the loaded, opened, and / or entered order data and / or position data of the processing order are additionally displayed on at least one display device.

[0108] Before inserting a new carrier 408, for example, a carrier 408 previously arranged on the tool holder 409 is removed from the tool holder 409, preferably by releasing the mechanisms securing the carrier 408 and then removing it, preferably by pulling it out laterally. Particularly preferably, the second frame part 414 remains in its installed position and is therefore not pulled out. For example, to release the securing mechanism, the operator actuates at least one control element, which is preferably displayed and / or arranged on the at least one display device, whereby the control unit of the control system 1100 preferably receives at least one control signal and then actuates the at least one actuator of the at least one securing mechanism of the front bar 418 and / or the at least one securing mechanism of the rear bar 421 and / or the at least one central holding mechanism.

[0109] A carrier 408, comprising at least one machining component 406, is inserted into the tool holder 409, preferably in or against the transverse direction A. The carrier 408 is preferably placed on the at least one front and rear support 419; 422, and preferably inserted along these supports. Preferably, the at least one retaining element 430 is additionally inserted into the at least one profile rail 424 of the at least one central retaining mechanism. Particularly preferably, the second frame part 414 remains in its installed position and is therefore not pulled out.Preferably, depending on the design of the carrier 408, the distance between the at least one front strip 418 and the at least one rear strip 421 is changed, preferably at least one of the strips 418; 421 in or against the transport direction T by the adjusting mechanism 423 designed as a longitudinal adjustment, preferably before coming into contact with the carrier 408, in its position.

[0110] The carrier 408, which has the at least one machining component 406, is fixed, preferably clamped, to the second frame part 414 of the at least one tool holder 409. The carrier 408, having the at least one machining component 406, is preferably fixed, preferably clamped, to the second frame part 414 of the at least one tool holder 409, which is more preferably arranged in an installation position, before the second frame part 414 is moved into the second position.

[0111] For fixation, the support 408 is preferably clamped in the front area, in particular at its front edge, by the at least one clamping element 428, in particular at the at least one front strip 418. In addition, the support 408 is preferably clamped in the rear area, in particular at its rear edge, by the at least one further clamping element 428, in particular at the at least one rear strip 421.

[0112] Particularly preferably, in addition to the at least one fixing mechanism arranged on the at least one front and / or rear strip 418; 421, the carrier 408 is held, preferably fixed, and more preferably clamped in the central region of the carrier 408 by the at least one central holding mechanism. The carrier 408 is particularly preferably held, preferably clamped, by the at least one clamping element 428 on the at least one clamping strip 424 of the central holding mechanism. Additionally or alternatively, the contact area of ​​the central holding mechanism is particularly preferably adjusted from the first position to the second position in or against the vertical direction V before it comes into contact with the carrier 408, in particular by means of the at least one adjusting mechanism 427.For example, depending on the design of the carrier 408, in particular depending on the arrangement of the at least one holding element 430 on the carrier 408, the at least one middle holding mechanism is preferably additionally or alternatively adjusted in or against the transport direction T by the at least one adjusting mechanism 426, preferably before coming into contact with the carrier 408, into its position.

[0113] Particularly preferred is the at least one clamping element 428, in particular the at least one fixing mechanism of the front strip 418 and / or the at least one fixing mechanism of the rear strip 421 and / or the at least one central holding mechanism, by which at least one actuator is actuated, preferably by the at least one control unit of the control system 1100 by means of a control signal. For example, the operator operates a control element, which is preferably displayed and / or arranged on the at least one display device, whereby the control unit of the control system 1100 preferably receives a control signal and then actuates the at least one actuator of the at least one fixing mechanism and / or the at least one central holding mechanism.For example, the actuators of the locking mechanisms and the central holding mechanism are controlled together, preferably when a common operating element has been activated. Alternatively, at least two of the actuators are actuated separately, in particular by different operating elements. For example, by actuating them separately, the at least one central holding mechanism can be activated in addition to the locking mechanisms, or remain deactivated when not in use, or one of the locking mechanisms can remain deactivated when not in use.

[0114] The second frame part 414 is moved relative to the first frame part 411 of the at least one tool holder 409 within the plane parallel to the machining plane of substrate 02 from the first position to at least one second position, in particular by actuating the at least one actuator, and in particular the at least three actuators. The second position is preferably a target position stored in the control unit. The at least one control unit preferably actuates the at least one actuator by transmitting at least one control signal.The second frame part 414 with the fixed carrier 408 is adjusted relative to the first frame part 411 of the at least one tool holder 409 within the plane parallel to the machining plane of substrate 02 from the first position to at least one second position, in particular by actuating the at least one actuator, and in particular the at least three actuators. Actuating the at least three actuators is particularly preferred, as it results in a combination of adjustments and enables particularly precise positioning. Preferably, the second frame part 414, which has the at least one front rail 418 for holding the carrier 408 in a front region of the carrier 408 and the at least one rear rail 421 for holding the carrier 408 in a rear region of the carrier 408, is adjusted as a unit.The second frame section 414 is adjusted relative to the first frame section 411 from the first position to the second position, which is spaced apart from the first position in the transverse direction A and / or in the transport direction T and / or is pivoted within the plane spanned by the transverse direction A and transport direction T relative to the first position. Preferably, the actual positioning of the second frame section 414 is compared with a target position. The second frame section 414 is preferably adjusted so that the actual positioning corresponds to the target position.

[0115] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the second frame section 414 is adjusted between the first and second positions by means of at least one actuator, preferably controlled by the control unit. The control unit of the control system 1100 particularly preferably controls the at least one motorized actuator, or more preferably at least three motorized actuators, to adjust the second frame section 414. Additionally or alternatively, the control unit controls the at least one display device to display data on the positioning of the second frame section 414. The control of the at least one actuator by the control unit, and thus the motorized adjustment of the second frame section 414, is particularly preferably automated, preferably until the actual position of the second frame section 414 matches the stored target position.

[0116] The at least one first actuator and the at least one second actuator for the relative positioning of the frame parts 411; 414 engage the second frame part 414 at the engagement points 435; 437, which are spaced apart from each other with respect to the transverse direction A, and / or adjust the second frame part 414 relative to the first frame part 411 via the respective engagement points 435; 437 in and / or against the transport direction T and / or with respect to a pivoting from the first position to the second position. For an adjustment in and / or against the transport direction T, preferably the at least one first actuator, particularly preferably its at least one actuator 431, and the at least one second actuator, particularly preferably its at least one actuator 432, are actuated, preferably with the same actuating direction and particularly preferably, for a parallel displacement, with the same length of the actuating path.For a pivoting movement within the plane parallel to the processing plane of substrate 02, in particular the plane defined by the transport direction T and transverse direction A, the at least one first actuator, particularly preferably its at least one actuator motor 431, and the at least one second actuator, particularly preferably its at least one actuator motor 432, are preferably actuated, preferably with different actuating directions and / or with different actuating stroke lengths. In the case of a combined adjustment in or against the transport direction T and a pivoting movement, the actuators designed as longitudinal adjusters are preferably each actuated such that an adjustment movement occurs whose actuating direction and stroke result from the combination of the preferred individual adjustments, i.e., the individual adjustments are superimposed.

[0117] In addition, the at least one actuator designated as the third actuator adjusts the second frame part 414 relative to the first frame part 411 in and / or against the transverse direction A, in particular from first position to second position, preferably by actuating the at least one actuator motor 433.

[0118] The control of at least three actuators is particularly preferred.

[0119] The at least one motorized actuator, preferably its control unit, preferably receives data from the control unit of the control system 1100 regarding the target position to be assumed, for example, the target position or data defining it, such as an identification number. The control unit preferably comprises a processing unit and / or evaluation unit that compares data of an actual positioning with data of the target positioning. Alternatively, the control unit includes the processing unit and / or evaluation unit and performs the comparison. Depending on the comparison, a control signal is preferably sent to the at least one actuator 431; 432; 433, preferably by the control unit. The second frame part 411 is preferably adjusted according to the control signal, for example, moved by a defined amount in one direction and / or moved until a defined position is assumed.In the processing unit and / or evaluation unit, preferably in the control unit, the actual positioning data is compared with the target positioning data. If the actual positioning deviates from the target positioning, a further control signal is preferably sent to the actuator 431; 432; 433. Preferably, the encoder detects the position of the actuator 431; 432; 433, for example, its angle of rotation, and thereby indirectly the positioning of the second frame part 411. The encoder preferably sends the position data to the control unit, for example, alternatively to the control device. For example, the control unit converts the data transmitted by the encoder into a data format that can be sent via a bus. The control unit preferably sends data regarding the actual positioning to the control device, preferably in the converted data format.Preferably, the control device controls at least one display device to show the actual positioning and / or feedback on the success of the adjustment performed and / or a relationship between the actual positioning and the target position.

[0120] The second frame section 414 is preferably moved by motor to the stored target position by means of the control unit of the control system 1100. The control unit is preferably coupled with at least one operating element which, when actuated, causes the second frame section 414 to move from the first position to the stored target position. Preferably, the stored target position is the target position loaded from memory or the target position of the processing order to be set up by the operator. In addition, at least one fine adjustment of the second frame section 414 from the set target position to a further position is preferably carried out by actuating at least one, in particular another, operating element. The fine adjustment is preferably also carried out by motor by actuating the at least one actuator.Preferably, the control device is coupled with at least one further operating element which, when actuated, effects the fine adjustment of the second frame part 414 from the target position to the desired position. The fine adjustment preferably describes an adjustment of the second frame part 414 relative to the first frame part 411 in order to compensate for positioning deviations of the tool holder 409 that occur despite the positioning of the second frame part 414 in the target position relative to a corresponding tool and / or the substrate 02.

[0121] Fine adjustment is preferably achieved by actuating at least one, and in particular a further, control element, which is preferably displayed and / or arranged on the at least one display device. The at least one control element, in particular the control element that can be actuated to adjust to the stored target position, and the at least one further control element, in particular the control element that can be actuated for fine adjustment, are preferably coupled to the at least one actuator via the control unit. Preferably, the operator actuates the at least one control element for fine adjustment. Preferably, at least two control elements are assigned to the fine adjustment, which result in opposing directions of movement along the axis of movement defined by the respective actuator.Particularly preferred is the fine adjustment system, which is therefore assigned at least two control elements for adjustment in and against the transport direction T and two further control elements for adjustment in and against the transverse direction A. For example, the at least one control element is designed as an arrow key or plus / minus keys or displays a corresponding symbol. For example, the at least two actuators adjusting in the transport direction T are controlled together, or the respective actuator to be controlled is selected by the operator. The control device is preferably linked to the at least one control element for fine adjustment via data transmission, so that an operator, by manually actuating the at least one control element, causes at least one control signal to be sent to the at least one actuator 431; 432; 433.For example, each actuation of the at least one control element results in an adjustment by a constant, fixed travel distance, i.e., an incremental adjustment, or by an adjustment for the duration of the actuation of the at least one control element by the operator.

[0122] Preferably, at least one, and in particular a further, control element, particularly arranged and / or displayed on the at least one display device, is designed to cause the current position data to be stored in the at least one memory when actuated. Preferably, the position data of the further position set by the fine adjustment is stored in the memory assigned to the control device, preferably at least when the further control element is actuated or, for example, automatically upon completion of the fine adjustment. Preferably, the newly stored position data is assigned to the selected processing order. For example, the target position data previously stored for this processing order is overwritten by the new position data, or an additional data record is created for this processing order.Advantageously, the current positioning, which may be changed by fine adjustment compared to the previously stored position data, is thus set in a repeat order without further fine adjustment by controlling the motorized actuators.

[0123] For example, in an alternative embodiment with non-mechanical drive means, the adjustment of the actuators is actuated by the operator depending on the displayed data by means of at least one actuating element 436, preferably at least one actuating element 436 per actuator, for example at least one handwheel.

[0124] In an alternative embodiment of the tool holder 409, the at least one front rail 418 and the at least one rear rail 421 do not form a jointly adjustable unit. In this embodiment, the second frame part 414, which can be positioned relative to the first frame part 411, has at least one rail 418; 421, preferably the at least one front rail 418. Thus, in this embodiment, the at least one front rail 418 can be positioned relative to the first frame part 411. In this embodiment, the clamping of the carrier 408 to the front and rear rails 418; 421 takes place after the positioning of the second frame part 414 relative to the first frame part 411.Preferably independent of the design of the second frame part 414, i.e., whether the second frame part 414 is formed as a unit of the front and rear strips 418; 421 or whether the second frame part 414 has only one of the strips 418; 421, the at least one actuator, preferably the at least three actuators, is designed to position the second frame part 414 of the tool holder 409 relative to the first frame part 411 of the tool holder 409 within the plane parallel to the machining plane of substrate 02, particularly preferably by means of its actuator 431; 432; 433.

[0125] In an additional or alternative embodiment of the at least one tool holder 409, the machining unit 300; 400; 500 has at least one actuating unit 442 of the at least one actuator. Preferably, in this embodiment, each actuator of the actuators adjusting the second frame part 414 has at least one actuating unit 442. The at least one actuating unit 442 is preferably configured to selectively prevent an adjustment contrary to a required direction of adjustment, depending on the required adjustment, and / or to stop an adjustment exceeding the required length of the travel in the direction of adjustment, and / or to provide an operator with haptic feedback upon reaching a required position. Advantageously, the at least one actuating unit 442 facilitates manual adjustment for the operator. Setup times are reduced.Advantageously, the use of at least one positioning unit 442 prevents incorrect positioning by the operator. The reproducibility of positioning in repeat orders is thus advantageously increased.

[0126] The embodiment comprising the manual actuator preferably includes at least one actuating unit 442, or preferably the actuator designed as a manual actuator, comprising at least one actuating unit 442, is actuated. In the embodiment comprising at least one motorized actuator, for example, the at least one actuating unit 442 is omitted, since its function is preferably taken over by the control device.

[0127] During tool positioning, in particular during adjustment by means of the at least one actuator, the at least one actuating unit 442 preferably selectively prevents adjustments contrary to a required direction of adjustment and / or stops adjustments in the direction of adjustment exceeding the required length of the travel path and / or gives an operator haptic feedback on the achievement of a required positioning.

[0128] At least one actuator 444 of the at least one positioning unit 442 is preferably coupled to at least one control device, preferably the control device of the control system 1100 or alternatively a different control unit such as an internal unit of the positioning unit 442, and / or is selectively controlled by the control device. The control device is preferably coupled to the memory for storing and / or loading specific position data of the second frame part 414 of different carriers 408 of machining components 406, which can be attached to or are attached to the tool holder 409. Additionally or alternatively, the control device is preferably coupled to at least one sensor 439 that determines the actual position of the second frame part 414.

[0129] Advantageously, an additional display of position data directly on the actuator, for example arranged on the actuating element 436 or a gear element 434 downstream of the actuating element 436, is not required. However, it is particularly preferred that the display device, which shows at least one data point regarding the positioning of the second frame part 414, is additionally coupled with the control device and displays, for example, position data such as the target position and / or actual position of the second frame part 414.

[0130] The at least one positioning unit 442 preferably comprises at least one actuator 444. The at least one actuator 444 is configured to activate and / or deactivate the at least one positioning unit 442, preferably based on a comparison of the actual position of the second frame part 414 with a target position. The at least one actuator 444 is preferably coupled to the control unit and selectively controlled by it, preferably based on a comparison of the actual position with the target position of the second frame part 414 and / or a component of the at least one actuator.

[0131] The at least one actuator 444 is preferably configured to actuate at least one locking device 441. The at least one locking device 441 is preferably configured as a mechanical locking device, for example as a lever 441, particularly preferably a pivoting lever pivoting about a pivot axis S, or as a magnetic locking device 441 or electromagnetic locking device 441. Depending on the control, the at least one locking device 441 is in a locking state or in a releasing state by the actuator 441. The control device is preferably configured to selectively activate and / or deactivate the at least one actuator 444, preferably with respect to an action ratio of the locking device 441 with an actuating element 443.When the operating mode is activated, i.e., the blocking state, movement of a gear element 434 of the at least one actuator is preferably blocked in at least one direction of rotation, more preferably allowed in one direction of rotation and blocked in the opposite direction, or alternatively blocked in both directions of rotation. When the operating mode is deactivated, i.e., the releasing state, movement of the gear element 434 is preferably allowed in and against the direction of rotation.

[0132] Data on the actual positioning of the second frame part 414 and / or a component of the at least one actuator are preferably compared with a target position, and the required stroke is preferably determined. At least one evaluation unit is preferably configured to compare data on the actual positioning of the second frame part 414 and / or a component of the at least one actuator with a target position. Preferably, the control unit includes the evaluation unit or is coupled to it. The at least one evaluation unit is coupled to the at least one actuator 444, preferably at least indirectly via the at least one control unit or directly. The at least one evaluation unit is preferably also coupled to the memory associated with the control unit, preferably at least indirectly via the at least one control unit or directly.The at least one evaluation unit is preferably coupled to the memory for storing and / or loading specific position data of the second frame part 414 of different carriers 408 of machining components 406, which can be attached to or are attached to the tool holder 409. Additionally or alternatively, at least one evaluation unit is preferably coupled to the at least one sensor 439 that determines the actual position of the second frame part 414. The at least one evaluation unit preferably compares a stored or entered target position of the second frame part 414 and / or a component of the at least one actuator with an actual position. The actual position is preferably determined by the at least one sensor 439 and transmitted to the evaluation unit, for example, at least indirectly via the control device or directly.Preferably, the at least one evaluation unit determines the required positioning path to achieve a match between the actual position and the target position. The positioning direction is preferably determined, preferably in or against the transverse direction A or in or against the transport direction T. Additionally or alternatively, the required length of the positioning path is determined.

[0133] Depending on the comparison, and particularly preferably depending on the determined actuation path to be carried out, the at least one control device preferably controls the at least one actuator 444. The at least one actuator 444 preferably actuates the at least one blocking device 441, thus changing its state from the releasing state to the blocking state or vice versa.

[0134] The adjustment of the second frame part 414 from the first position to the second position relative to the first frame part 411 is preferably effected by the at least one actuator. Particularly preferably, at the start of the adjustment movement, the at least one actuating unit 442 is controlled by the control device in such a way that an adjustment contrary to the required direction of movement is prevented. In this process, the at least one actuator 444 preferably actuates the at least one locking device 441 such that the at least one locking device 441 is brought into a locking state that blocks an adjustment contrary to the desired direction of movement.If the second frame section 414 is moved beyond the required length to reach the second position during the adjustment along its path, the control device preferably actuates the at least one actuating unit 442 in such a way that further adjustment is stopped. The at least one actuator 444 preferably actuates the at least one locking device 441 in such a way that the locking device 441 is moved into a locking state, which blocks any further adjustment in the direction of the adjustment. Upon reaching the second position, i.e., the required positioning, the control device preferably actuates the at least one actuating unit 442 in such a way that the operator receives haptic feedback that the required positioning has been reached, for example, by vibration and / or a brief transition to the locking state.

[0135] For example, additionally or alternatively, particularly when configured as a manual actuator, at least one actuator 445 generating haptic feedback is arranged on the gear element 434 of the actuator that transmits the adjustment movement and / or on the at least one actuating element 436 of the actuator. The actuator 445 generates feedback perceptible to an operator, preferably a vibration or resistance. Preferably, the at least one actuator 445 is coupled to the control unit. Preferably, the at least one actuator 445 is coupled to the evaluation unit. The control unit is preferably configured to selectively activate and / or deactivate the actuator 445 to generate haptic feedback, particularly depending on the comparison, and especially depending on the determined travel distance to be performed.The actuator 445 is preferably activated when the actual position matches the target position, i.e., when the second position has been reached.

[0136] In this embodiment, the at least one tool holder 409, comprising at least one actuating unit 442, preferably includes at least one sensor 439 for determining the actual position of the second frame part 414 and / or a component of the at least one actuator. The at least one sensor 439 is preferably coupled to the at least one actuating unit 442 at least by means of the control unit of the control system 1100 of the machining unit 300; 400; 500. For example, there is a direct coupling of the sensor 439 to the at least one actuating unit 442, in particular a control unit of the actuating unit for controlling the at least one actuator 444 of the actuating unit 442, wherein data from the at least one sensor 439 are additionally transmitted to the control unit.Alternatively, for example, an indirect coupling exists via the control unit of the control system 1100, whereby data from the sensor 439 are directed to the control unit and the control unit controls at least one actuator 444, for example via its control unit.

[0137] For example, the measuring point of the at least one sensor 439 is arranged on a gear element 434. Alternatively, and preferably, the measuring point of the sensor 439 is arranged at the point of application where the at least one actuator engages the second frame part 414. The position of the second frame part 414 is preferably determined by a direct measurement of the at least one sensor 439 at the point of application of the at least one actuator to the second frame part 414. Advantageously, this increases the accuracy of the detected position.

[0138] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the at least one actuating unit 442 comprises at least one actuating element 443 arranged on a gear element 434 that transmits the adjustment movement, and at least one locking means 441 that interacts with the actuating element 443 and can be actuated by means of the actuator 444. In the case of a manual actuator, the at least one actuating element 443 is preferably arranged on the first gear element 434 that follows the actuating element 436. The at least one actuating element 443 is preferably configured to perform a movement together with the gear element 434, preferably a rotation of the shaft or spindle. Preferably, the at least one gear element 434 extends through the at least one actuating element 443. The at least one gear element 434 preferably forms an axis of rotation of the at least one actuating element 443.The at least one actuating element 443 particularly preferably has a toothed ring, the teeth of which are preferably arranged in a direction of rotation, so that upon operative contact with the at least one locking means 441, movement in one direction of rotation is enabled and movement in the opposite direction of rotation is blocked. The at least one locking means 441 is, for example, a lever 441, which is particularly preferably pivotable about a pivot axis S. Alternatively, for example, the at least one locking means 441 is a means of generating a force opposing the direction of rotation, for example generating a braking effect by means of a magnetic field.

[0139] When designed as a lever 441, the blocking means 441 preferably contacts the actuating element 443 in the activated operating condition, preferably engages in its toothed ring, whereas in the deactivated operating condition the lever 441 is arranged at a distance from the toothed ring, preferably pivoted about the pivot axis S.

[0140] In a further preferred embodiment, the at least one actuating unit 442 has at least two actuating elements 443, each with an associated locking means 441, which permit or block opposite directions of rotation. In other words, a second actuating element 443, for example, permits clockwise rotation when in contact with the at least one locking means 441, while a first actuating element 443 blocks clockwise rotation when in contact with the at least one locking means 441. For example, clockwise rotation of the gear element 434 is stopped and / or prevented when the first actuating element 443 is in contact with its locking means 441. For example, counterclockwise rotation of the gear element 434 is stopped and / or prevented when the second actuating element 443 is in contact with its locking means 441.Preferably, each blocking device 441 has its own actuator 444, which can be actuated and / or controlled independently of the actuator 444 of the at least one further blocking device 441.
