[0007] European Patent Application Publication No. 2202075 discloses a printing machine, in which the inspection device only detects a relatively narrow region of the printed material, and for this reason, a printing machine movable in the lateral direction to detect the entire width of the printed material through multiple measurements is known.

[0008] The fundamental problem of this invention is to provide a sheet printing machine equipped with a Simultan printing inspection device.

[0009] This problem is solved by the specific features of claim 1 according to the present invention.

[0010] A machine for handling, preferably for processing, sheets has at least one inspection device for inspecting the sheets, particularly optically. The machine has at least one sheet transport means, which defines a section of a transport path provided for transporting sheets. This section comprises an inspection area. The inspection device has at least one sensor device, particularly optical, positioned oriented toward the inspection area. The inspection area is a subsection of the transport path, particularly a section defined by the sheet transport means and detectable by the sensor device.

[0011] In one improved configuration, at least one guide device is provided for at least one sensor device, the guide device defines a sensor adjustment path provided for moving the at least one sensor device, the sensor adjustment path extending from the inspection position to at least one first lowering position of the at least one sensor device, which is formed as a maintenance position for the at least one sensor device. The sensor adjustment path extends at least between the inspection position and the first lowering position, particularly in a direction perpendicular to the lateral direction. This allows for sufficient exposure of important areas of the sensor device without the need to unnecessarily move the sensor device further. This also makes it possible to keep the wire connections connected during the lowering movement. In an alternative or additional improved configuration, the machine is preferably characterized in that at least one connecting wire of the at least one sensor device is arranged such that it allows movement of the at least one sensor device between the inspection position and the first lowering position, while the wire technical connection secured by each of the connecting wires remains maintained. In alternative or additional improved forms, the machine is preferably characterized in that at least one sensor device is accessible for cleaning and / or removable from the machine in its first lowered position.

[0012] In alternative or additional improved forms, the machine is preferably characterized in that the sensor adjustment path extends for a length of at least 10 cm, preferably at least 20 cm, more preferably at least 30 cm, even more preferably at least 40 cm, and even more preferably at least 50 cm, particularly in a direction perpendicular to the lateral direction.

[0013] In alternative or additional improved forms, the machine is preferably characterized in that the sensor adjustment path is at least partially curved and / or at least one sensor device is oriented in a direction different from the inspection position of the sensor device in its first lowering position.

[0014] In alternative or additional improved forms, the machine is preferably characterized in that at least one guide device of at least one sensor device has at least two rails that define the sensor adjustment path. This allows for particularly precise movement of the sensor device.

[0015] In alternative or additional improved forms, the machine is preferably characterized in that at least one first holding element is arranged such that when the sensor device is positioned in an inspection position, switching of the device and / or release of the holding force is required, thereby allowing the sensor device to be moved from the inspection position.

In particular, the first illumination device is preferably positioned to pivot about a first pivot axis independently of at least one sensor device.

In alternative or additional improved forms, the machine preferably features that each lighting position of the at least one first lighting device and the maintenance position of the at least one first lighting device are different from each other in terms of lateral position.

[0035] The machine 01 for handling the sheet 02 is also used to inspect the sheet 02. This sheet 02 is a sheet 02 of each substrate 02. The machine 01 may have further devices that can be used, for example, to process the sheet 02. Examples of these include coating devices, such as priming devices and / or printing devices and / or varnishing devices, or shaping devices, such as cutting devices and / or die-cutting devices and / or punching devices and / or folding devices. In other words, the machine 01 is preferably formed as an inspection machine 01. For example, the machine 01 is additionally formed as a sheet processing machine 01, preferably a coating machine 01, in particular a printing machine 01. However, where, for example, a coating machine 01, in particular a printing machine 01 is described above and / or below, the corresponding description also applies to a pure inspection machine 01, as long as it does not cause a contradiction. For example, the machine 01 is additionally or alternatively formed as a shaping machine 01. Preferably, the machine 01 is formed as a machine 01 for handling securities sheets 02, in particular as a securities handling machine 01 and / or a securities inspection machine 01 and / or a securities printing machine 01. For example, the machine 01 is formed as a sheet printing machine 01, in particular as a sheet rotary printing machine 01 or more preferably as a securities sheet printing machine 01.

[0036] The machine 01 has at least one inspection device 08;768 for inspecting the sheet 02. This at least one inspection device 08;768 is preferably arranged to capture the sheet 02 as it is being transported alongside it. Preferably, the machine 01 is assigned a transport path provided for transporting the sheet 02. This transport path preferably originates from a substrate supply device 100. This substrate supply device 100 is formed, for example, as a sheet supply device 100, in particular as a sheet feeder 100. That is, preferably, the machine 01 has at least one sheet feeder 100. Alternatively, the machine 01 has at least one roll feeder and at least one transverse cutting device.

[0037] Machine 01 has, for example, at least one sheet processing unit 200;500;600;700. This at least one sheet processing unit 200;500;600;700 is formed, for example, as a sheet printing unit 200;500;600;700. Depending on the embodiment, various different printing methods are possible.

[0038] Sheet 02 is formed from, for example, cellulose or preferably cotton fiber-based paper, plastic polymer or hybrid product. Sheet 02 may or may not be coated before inspection and / or processing by machine 01. Sheet 02 may be before printing, after one or more printings, or mechanically processed in another form. Sheet 02 preferably has multiple layout items, in particular the printed images of banknotes to be produced, arranged in a row, and multiple such rows of layout items or their printed images arranged in a forward and backward direction T, or arranged accordingly as each sheet 02 is processed.

[0039] The substrate supply device 100 or sheet supply device 100 of machine 01 is preferably located at the beginning of a transport path provided for transporting substrates 02, particularly sheets 02. At least one substrate supply device 100 preferably has a feed section 101 formed, for example, as a belt-type table 101. For example, at least one receiving device is preferably formed as a pile plate. In this case, the receiving device may hold bundles of materials to be printed, formed as sheet piles, for individualization. The receiving device is preferably connected to at least one transport means that ensures that even if the sheet pile is reduced in volume, the uppermost sheet 02 of the sheet pile is always positioned in a specified location. The substrate supply device 100 preferably comprises a sheet individualization mechanism and a sheet transport mechanism. The sheet individualization mechanism is preferably formed as a separation sack. The sheet transport mechanism is preferably formed as a transport sack. At least one front support is preferably provided. For example, the substrate supply device 100 has at least one nonstop device for supplying sheets 02 without interruption even when subsequent piles are being laid. A belt-type table positioned behind the sheet pile is formed, for example, as a suction belt-type table. For example, at least one alignment device called a sheet alignment unit is provided, which preferably has a feed table and at least one movable front rest. The sheet feeder 100 preferably has at least one swing gripper or swing arm. A receiving drum 102 is preferably located downstream of the swing gripper along a transport path provided for transporting sheets 02. Preferably, the sheets 02 are delivered from the swing gripper to the receiving drum 102. The receiving drum 102 is a rotating transport unit 102.

[0040] The machine 01 preferably has at least one module 900 formed as a delivery device 900, in particular as a sheet delivery device 900, in addition to at least one inspection device 08;768 and optionally at least one sheet processing unit 200;500;600;700. The sheet delivery device 900 preferably includes at least one sheet feeding system 904, which is formed in particular as a chain feeding system 904 or a chain gripper system 904. The sheet feeding system 904 includes, for example, a tensioning means driven via a drive and deflection means, which drives a gripping device for sheet feeding. The gripping device has a positioning mechanism for receiving and positioning the sheet 02. A gripper for gripping the sheet edge, in particular a clamp and / or a suction gripper, may be used as the positioning mechanism. The sheet delivery 900 stacks the sheets 02 in the form of delivery piles on at least one transport platform, or more preferably one of a plurality of transport platforms, which are preferably formed as pallets or in different forms. For example, a sheet guide device and / or drying and / or curing device 906 are located inside the sheet delivery 900. Preferably, the sheets 02, slowed down by a braking device, are placed against a front support and thus oriented and stacked on each delivery pile. For example, the sheet delivery 900 is equipped with a nonstop device for uninterrupted unloading from the delivery pile.

[0041] In particular, in conjunction with a delivery device 900 having multiple stacking locations, an advantageous improved configuration includes at least one inspection device 768 located downstream of the last orientation device 771 along a transport path provided for transporting the sheets 02. In this configuration, sheets 02 deemed damaged or having defective print images may be collected in one of the multiple piles, while so-called good sheets are stacked in other piles.

[0042] For example, the delivery device 900 has at least two, more preferably at least three, discharge stations 901;902;903 arranged in succession along a transport path provided for transporting sheets 02, particularly along a transport path provided for transporting substrates 02. That is, at least one delivery device 900 is preferably formed as a multi-pile delivery device 900, particularly at least a double-pile delivery device 900, or at least a triple-pile delivery device 900, or at least a quadruple-pile delivery device 900. Discharge stations 901;902;903 are also called pile deliveries 901;902;903. In this case, each discharge station 901;902;903 or pile delivery device 901;902;903 means, in particular, the device used to form each pile.

[0043] In particular, the transport path provided for transporting the sheets 02, which are at least partially individualized, preferably starts at the substrate supply device 100 and / or preferably ends at the sheet delivery 900. Each section 11 of the transport path provided for transporting the sheets 02 is preferably a single spatial region. A pile having multiple sheets 02 is preferably supplied to the substrate supply device 100 and / or taken out from the sheet delivery 900. It is desirable that the transport path for the pile is not included in the transport path provided for transporting the sheets 02. For example, at least one full sheet control device 773 is arranged along the transport path provided for transporting the sheets 02. This full sheet control device 773 is used in particular to detect the arrival and / or expected shape of the side edges of the sheets 02 at an expected time. The full sheet control device 773 includes, for example, at least one radiation source for electromagnetic radiation, particularly visible light, and a sensor for electromagnetic radiation, particularly visible light.

[0044] In the case of a curved transport path, the transport direction T is preferably a direction T that extends tangentially to the portion and / or point of the provided transport path closest to each reference point, and is specified at that portion and / or point for transporting the base material 02 and / or sheet 02. Each of these reference points is preferably located at a point and / or component associated with the transport direction T. Thus, the transport direction T preferably extends along the transport path provided for the base material 02 and / or sheet 02. Along the transport path provided for transporting the sheet 02, at each location the transport direction T is defined, in particular, as a direction T tangentially to the transport path at the corresponding location of the provided transport path and parallel to the movement of the sheet 02 specified at that location. The lateral direction A is preferably a direction A that extends horizontally and perpendicular to the transport direction T. Preferably, the lateral direction A is oriented perpendicular to the vertical direction V.

[0045] The working width of machine 01 is preferably the dimension that runs through machine 01 perpendicular to the transport path 09 provided for transporting the sheet 02 and / or extends in the lateral direction A. The working width of machine 01 is preferably the maximum width that the sheet 02 may have in order to still be processed by machine 01, i.e., the maximum sheet width that machine 01 can process. In this case, the width of sheet 02 means the dimension of sheet 02 in the lateral direction A. This is preferably independent of whether the said width of sheet 02 is greater or less than the dimension of the horizontal sheet 02 perpendicular to this width, and more preferably the dimension representing the length of sheet 02. The working width of machine 01 is preferably the working width of the individual components of machine 01. Machine 01 preferably has a maximum working width of at least 50 cm, more preferably at least 75 cm, and even more preferably at least 100 cm. The machine 01 preferably has a particularly fixed-position frame 03, which has at least two fixed-position frame side walls 04;06.

[0046] A machine 01 for handling, preferably for handling and processing, the machine 01 for handling the sheet 02 has at least one inspection device 08;768 for inspecting the sheet 02, particularly optically. The machine 01 has at least one sheet transport means 07;708;709;711;712;713;714 which define a section 11 of a transport path 09 provided for transporting the sheet 02. This section 11 comprises an inspection area 12, in which case the inspection device 08;768 has at least one sensor device 13, particularly optical, which is positioned oriented toward the inspection area 12. In particular, the inspection area 12 is a subdivision of section 11 defined by the sheet transport means 07;708;709;711;712;713;714 of the transport path 09, and moreover, it is a subdivision that can be detected by the sensor device 13. Preferably, the sheet transport means 07;708;709;711;712;713;714 are formed as rotating transport bodies 07;708;709;711;712;713;714, and more preferably as suction drums 713. Preferably, the rotating transport bodies 708;709;711;712;713;714 are arranged to be rotatable about their respective axis of rotation and are used to transport the sheets 02. In particular, each of the 708;709;711;712;713;714 defines each section of the transport path provided for transporting the sheets 02, which preferably substantially has the shape of a portion of the body wall. Preferably, at least one inspection device 768 is positioned oriented toward the mounting surface of the suction drum 713. The suction of each sheet 02 particularly stabilizes the position of the sheet 02 relative to the suction drum 713. This enables inspection with particularly high precision. Preferably, the sheet transport means 07;708;709;711;712;713;714 are formed as rotatable sheet transport means 07;708;709;711;712;713;714 having a rotation axis extending in the lateral direction A.

The magnetic elements may be formed by permanent magnets, electromagnets, or combinations of one or more permanent magnets and / or one or more electromagnets, with or without gravure. The magnetic elements may be arranged on a body base so as to be removable and / or rotatable about a radially extending axis and / or adjustable individually or in groups with respect to their axial and / or circumferential positions, and together with this body base, each orientation body 709 may be formed.
