Description

[0001] Device for printing on a component

[0002] The present invention relates to a device for printing on at least one surface of a component, preferably a wooden board and / or a precast concrete element, comprising a printing unit and a storage device for storing the component in at least a first position during the printing of the at least one surface by means of the printing unit, wherein the storage device is configured to move the component relative to the printing unit during the printing process, and / or wherein the printing unit is configured to move relative to the component during the printing process.

[0003] Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for printing at least one surface of a component, for example at least one wooden surface of a load-bearing wooden wall and / or wooden ceiling, with such a device.

[0004] Such devices are generally known, and particularly for printing on wooden components, e.g., from publications AT 526342 A4 or DE 102010008295 A1. With the printing devices shown in these publications, the component to be printed is first conveyed into a printing area, which is located on a conveyor belt. The component is then printed on its upper surface while still on the conveyor belt and subsequently conveyed further. A disadvantage of these devices is that only one surface of the component can be printed at a time.

[0005] The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device improved upon the prior art, which offers the possibility of printing on several surfaces of the component on different sides before it is conveyed further. This object is achieved by the features of claim 1, namely with a device of the type mentioned at the outset, wherein the device has a turning unit which is configured to turn the component from the first position on the storage device into at least one second position on the storage device rotated relative to the first position.

[0006] In other words, the printer unit, the storage device and the turning unit can be considered a combined printing and turning station.

[0007] The major advantage of this invention is that the component can remain on the support device until the entire printing process is completed, i.e., until one or more surfaces of the component have been printed. In particular, the component does not need to be moved out of the printing area to be turned over.

[0008] By turning the component over once or several times on the storage device, multiple surfaces of the component can be printed simultaneously.

[0009] It is also possible to print only on one surface of the component. The component can then be turned before and / or after printing, for example, to change its orientation for a subsequent process. If the component is conveyed to the storage device from a feeding device, cosmetic station, or similar with an undesired orientation, it can conveniently be turned immediately before printing. Similarly, the component can be turned after printing to transfer it to a packaging station in a specific orientation. The invention enables flexible and efficient handling of the component during printing, resulting in significant time savings.

[0010] The component can be printed in the first position and / or in at least one second position by the printing unit.

[0011] The first position can also be a position from which the component is turned, or to which it is turned after printing. The same applies to at least one second position.

[0012] The component can be a component, preferably load-bearing, made of wood and / or concrete.

[0013] The component can be a panel, such as a wall or ceiling, or even a part thereof. The component can also be, for example, a beam and / or a column and / or another structural element.

[0014] The component can be, for example, a precast concrete element and / or a glulam beam or laminated timber. The component can also consist of solid structural timber. The component can be a single board and / or a lamella of a glulam beam or laminated timber section.

[0015] Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

[0016] It is particularly preferred that the printing unit and the placement device are configured to generate a translational relative movement between the component and the printing unit in one direction and / or in two directions of a plane, preferably in a longitudinal direction of the device. For example, the printing unit can be configured to move longitudinally over the placement device and over a component placed thereon. In the case that the component is heavy and / or large, only the printing unit is advantageously moved.

[0017] It is also possible that the printer unit, in particular at least one printhead such as an inkjet printhead of the printer unit, and the delivery device are designed to generate a translational relative movement between the component and the printer unit in a vertical direction to a substrate.

[0018] The printer unit can be bridge-shaped and / or slidably arranged on at least one guide rail.

[0019] Preferably, the device comprises at least one linear motor for driving the printer unit, in particular in the longitudinal direction and / or transverse direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction.

[0020] The storage device can also be designed to slide the component lengthwise under the printer unit. If the component is small and / or light, it can be very efficient to move the component relative to a static printer unit.

[0021] It is also conceivable that the storage device and the printer unit are designed to move both the component and the printer unit relative to each other. Preferably, the turning unit is designed to rotate and / or flip the component about a longitudinal axis of the component.

[0022] It is particularly advantageous for the component's longitudinal axis to be aligned parallel to a longitudinal axis that is oriented parallel to the longitudinal direction. In other words, the component's longitudinal axis and the longitudinal axis are essentially aligned parallel to the longitudinal direction. This allows the component to be turned over particularly easily on the storage device.

[0023] The turning unit is particularly preferably configured to rotate the component by 90° and / or 180° and / or 270° and / or 360°. It is also conceivable that the turning unit is configured to rotate the component by a different angle.

[0024] The first position and at least one second position are to be understood in particular as positions which each correspond to an orientation of the component.

[0025] For example, the first position and the at least one second position of the component in a top view can be identical, but the orientation of the component in the first position is different from the orientation of the component in the at least one second position.

[0026] The first position and / or at least one second position of the component may be a position in which the component, particularly in the case of a plate-shaped component, is oriented lying down and / or standing up.

[0053] Preferably, a first sensor of at least two sensors can detect a component end, whereupon the conveying speed of the component is reduced by the control unit. For example, the conveying speed is then reduced by an activity of the conveying device, in particular a roller conveyor.

[0054] Furthermore, a second sensor (or at least two sensors) can detect the end of the component, whereupon the control unit stops the component's conveying, so that the component is preferably in the desired position. The desired position can be the first position and / or at least one second position. The printer unit particularly preferably includes at least one interface for processing data, e.g., BIM data, for generating the printed image on the component.

[0057] Preferably, the printer unit comprises at least one printhead, e.g. an inkjet printhead, which is movable within and / or as part of the printer unit, preferably in the transverse direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction.

[0058] In preferred embodiments, the at least one printhead is movable in the transverse direction, while the printer unit is movable in the longitudinal direction relative to the component and / or the component is movable in the longitudinal direction relative to the printer unit.

[0059] It is conceivable that the printer unit and / or at least one printhead, e.g., an inkjet printhead, is or are designed to move orthogonally to the storage element in the vertical direction and / or vertically to a substrate.

[0060] Preferably, up to 24 inkjet printheads in CMYK colors and up to 6 inkjet printheads in white are provided. Preferably, the printing unit includes at least one UV emission device. This allows drying times after printing and / or coating to be kept particularly short.

[0072] A production process along the production line can look like this, for example:

[0073] Data, e.g., BIM data, is sent from a CAD program, preferably using nesting, to the joinery machine. This machine mills and cuts at least one desired component from a master panel, which remains intact and is held by support rods. The component then moves to a finishing station where imperfections and defects can be reworked, e.g., manually. Once the component is finished at the finishing station, it is conveyed to the downstream grinding machine and ground on a first surface. If necessary, it is turned over and ground on a second, opposite surface. After this grinding process is complete, the component is dust-free and moved into the printing area on the stacking device. Before printing, the data from the CAD program is transferred so that the printing unit receives the precise information regarding the component.In particular, data regarding the desired print image and / or print direction of each individual component are transmitted to the printer unit, especially via the interface. Within the printing area on the delivery device, the component is positioned and aligned using at least one sensor and / or at least one stop. The component can also be monitored using at least one sensor, for example, located on the printer unit. If the component requires a visible surface on both sides, it is turned over using the turning unit, aligned, and then printed on a second surface. Subsequently, for example, at a loading station, a protective film can be applied to the printed component. It can then be loaded for transport to the construction site.
