Abstract

The method involves placing each new roll (14) on a support tray (22) before sliding between support arms to fit into the printing press. The lateral alignment of the roll is checked by two sensors (26,27) and is adjusted by a lateral slider. The programmed width of the new roll is compared with the measured width and the roll position is aligned with the printing requirement. The programmed width values are store as the expected spacing at each side of the roll. The roll is positioned with one edge on a reference mark, or equidistant between the sensors, depending on the print alignment requirements.

Ein Rollenwechsler 1, für z. B. eine Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine, besteht aus zwei Seitengestellen 2; 3, zwischen welchen eine antreibbare Welle 4 gelagert ist. Auf der Welle 4 sind in einem axialen Abstand verstellbare Tragarme 6; 7 angeordnet. Die Tragarme 6; 7 sind jeweils als zweiarmige Hebel ausgebildet und weisen an ihren Enden 8, 9; 11, 12 jeweils Spannkonen 13 zur Aufnahme von Vorratsbahnrollen 14; 16, z. B. Vorratspapierbahnrollen auf. Die Spannkonen 13 werden zumindest jeweils an einem Ende 8, 9 des Hebelarmes 6 angetrieben.A reel changer 1, for z. Legs Web-fed rotary press, consists of two Side frames 2; 3, between which a drivable Shaft 4 is mounted. On the shaft 4 are in one axially adjustable support arms 6; 7 arranged. The support arms 6; 7 are each as a two-armed lever formed and have at their ends 8, 9; 11, 12 each clamping cones 13 for receiving supply web rolls 14; 16, e.g. B. Rolls of stock paper. The Clamping cones 13 are at least at one end 8, 9 of the lever arm 6 driven.

Vor dem Rollenwechsler 12 befindet sich eine z. B. mittels Rädern 15 auf Schienen 17; 18 angeordnete, in seitengestellparalleler Richtung A zwischen die Seitengestelle 2; 3 des Rollenwechslers 1 und zurück verfahrbare Transporteinheit 19. Diese Transporteinheit 19 ist z. B. so ausgebildet, daß sie einen über ein unterfluriges, in wellenparalleler Richtung B bewegbares Fördersystem 21 zugeführten Förderwagen 22 aufnimmt.Before the reel changer 12 is a z. B. by means of wheels 15 on rails 17; 18 arranged in side frame parallel direction A between the Side frames 2; 3 of the reel changer 1 and back movable transport unit 19. This transport unit 19 is e.g. B. trained so that they have a underground, movable in direction B parallel to the wave Conveyor system 21 receives the trolley 22.

Das Fördersystem 21 kann z. B. aus verschiedenen, jeweils separat angetriebenen, endlosen Rollenkettensystemen 20; 24 bestehen - in Fig. 1 und Fig. 3 symbolisch dargestellt und in Fig. 2 nicht gezeigt. Das Rollenkettensystem 24 befindet sich auf der Transporteinheit 19. Dabei ist der Förderwagen 22 jeweils mittels Rädern 28 in C-profilartigen Führungen 37; 38 in Richtung B hin- und herbewegbar. Der Förderwagen 22 und die Vorratsbahnrolle 14 sowie eine Rotationsachse 40 der Vorratsbahnrolle 14 befindet sich in Position C, d. h. auf der Transporteinheit 19, jedoch auch noch mittels gefederter Mitnehmer 39; 41 im Eingriff mit dem Rollenkettertsystem 24 (Fig. 2 und 3).The conveyor system 21 can, for. B. from different each separately powered, endless Roller chain systems 20; 24 exist - in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 shown symbolically and not in Fig. 2 shown. The roller chain system 24 is located on the Transport unit 19. The trolley is 22 each by means of wheels 28 in C-profile guides 37; 38 back and forth in direction B. Of the Tram 22 and the supply roll 14 and a The axis of rotation 40 of the supply web roll 14 is located in position C, d. H. on the transport unit 19, however also by means of spring-loaded drivers 39; 41 in Engagement with the roller chain system 24 (Fig. 2 and 3).

An dem schienennahen Ende des Seitengestells 2; 3 befinden sich direkt oder annähernd direkt gegenüberliegende Abtastelemente in Form von Sensoren, z. B. Laserstrahl- oder Ultraschallsensoren 26; 27. Die Ultraschallsensoren 26; 27 sind über Leitungen mit einer speicherprogrammierbaren Steuerung 29 verbunden. Die speicherprogrammierbare Steuerung 29 ist sowohl mit einem Maschinenleitstand 31 und einer Eingabe 32 als auch mit einem Antriebsregler 33 für einen Motor 23 des Rollenkettensystems 24 verbunden.At the near the rail end of the side frame 2; 3rd are directly or almost directly opposing scanning elements in the form of sensors, e.g. B. laser beam or ultrasonic sensors 26; 27. The Ultrasonic sensors 26; 27 are on lines with one programmable logic controller 29 connected. The programmable controller 29 is both with a machine control center 31 and an input 32 as also with a drive controller 33 for a motor 23 of the Roller chain system 24 connected.

An der Transporteinheit 19 befestigt, befindet sich ein Initiator 35, welcher das Erreichen der Maschinenmitte oder einer anderen vorwählbaren Position des Förderwagens 22 auf der Transporteinheit 19 meldet. Dieser Initiator 35 ist ebenfalls mit der speicherprogrammierbaren Steuerung 29 verbunden.Attached to the transport unit 19, there is a Initiator 35, which means reaching the machine center or another preselectable position of the Trolley 22 on the transport unit 19 reports. This initiator 35 is also with the programmable logic controller 29 connected.

Die Wirkungsweise der Anordnung ist wie nachfolgend beschrieben. Über das Fördersystem 21 - in Fig. 2 nicht dargestellt - wird ein Förderwagen 22 mit einer darauf befindlichen Vorratsbahnrolle 14 quer B zur Bahnlaufrichtung A bis auf die Transporteinheit 19 in Lage C gefördert. Dabei wird der Förderwagen 22 etwa mittig auf die Transporteinheit 19 verbracht, was durch den Sensor 35 detektiert wird. Nachfolgend wird die Transporteinheit 19 in Richtung A zum Rollenwechsler 1 verfahren, bis der Umfang 42 der Vorratsbahnrolle 14 in den Bereich der Ultraschallsensoren 26; 27 gelangt - strichpunktierte Position D (Fig. 2; in Fig. 1 ist nur die Rotationsachse 40 der Vorratsbahnrolle 14 in Position D gezeigt). Dieses Verfahren kann ebenfalls mittels eines Fördersystems, z. B. eines nichtdargestellten Linearantriebes, z. B. einer Gewindespindel erfolgen. In der strichpunktierten Position D wird ein rechter und linker Abstand f; g zu den ihnen zugewandten Seitenflächen 34; 36 der Vorratsbahnrolle 14 gemessen. Diese Meßwerte werden unter Beachtung von vorgegebenen Toleranzwerten mit denen in die speicherprogrammierbaren Steuerung 29 eingegebenen Sollwerten verglichen. Dabei kann auch die Breite i der Vorratsbahnrolle 14 ermittelt werden.The arrangement works as follows described. About the conveyor system 21 - not in Fig. 2 shown - is a trolley 22 with one on it located supply roll 14 across B to Web running direction A except for the transport unit 19 in Location C promoted. The trolley 22 is about centered on the transport unit 19, what by the sensor 35 is detected. Below is the Transport unit 19 in direction A to the roll changer 1 proceed until the circumference 42 of the supply web roll 14 in the area of the ultrasonic sensors 26; 27 arrives - dash-dotted position D (FIG. 2; in FIG. 1 is only the axis of rotation 40 of the supply roll 14 in Position D shown). This procedure can also by means of a conveyor system, e.g. B. one Linear actuator, not shown, e.g. B. one Threaded spindle. In the dash-dotted line Position D becomes a right and left distance f; g to the side surfaces 34 facing them; 36 of the Supply web roll 14 measured. These measurements are taking into account the specified tolerance values those in the programmable logic controller 29 entered setpoints compared. It can also Width i of the supply web roll 14 can be determined.

Wird z. B. eine außerhalb des Toleranzbereiches liegende Breite i der Vorratsbahnrolle 14 festgestellt, so wird eine Fehlermeldung, z. B. Warnsignal ausgegeben, deren Ursachen z. B. manuell beseitigt werden. Stimmt z. B. die Breite i der Vorratsbahnrolle 14 mit den vorgegebenen Sollwerten überein, so wird die seitliche Istlage f; g der Vorratsbahnrolle 14 erfaßt. Dabei ist es möglich, daß die seitlichen Sollabstände der Vorratsbahnrolle 14 unterschiedlich sind.Is z. B. is outside the tolerance range Width i of the supply web roll 14 is determined, then an error message, e.g. B. warning signal issued Causes z. B. be removed manually. Is z. B. the width i of the supply roll 14 with the predetermined setpoints, the lateral Actual position f; g of the supply web roll 14 is detected. It is it is possible that the lateral nominal distances of the Supply web roll 14 are different.

Dabei kann beispielsweise eine Vorratsbahnrolle 14 auch außermittig positioniert werden, d. h. die beiden Sollwerte für den rechten und linken Abstand der Vorratsbahnrolle 14 von den Sensoren 26; 27 unterscheiden sich vorzugsweise um eine Breite eines Vielfaches einer viertelbreiten Vorratsbahnrolle 14 (d. h. ein Betrag einer Differenz von Sollwerten für den rechten und linken Abstand f; g ist größer oder gleich einer Breite einer Viertelbahn). Dabei kann wahlweise ein Sollwert für den rechten und linken seitlichen Abstand f; g maschinenspezifisch vorgegeben und der zweite zugeordnete Sollwert auf die Breite der Vorratsbahnrolle 14 angepaßt sein.For example, a supply roll 14 can also be used be positioned off-center, d. H. the two Setpoints for the right and left distance of the Supply web roll 14 from sensors 26; 27 preferably differ by a width of one Multiples of a quarter-wide supply web roll 14 (i.e. an amount of a difference of target values for the right and left distance f; g is greater than or equal to a width of a quarter web). You can choose a setpoint for the right and left side Distance f; g machine-specific and the second assigned setpoint to the width of the Supply roll 14 to be adjusted.

Dies ist z. B. dann der Fall, wenn eine halb- oder viertelbahnbreite Vorratsbahnrolle 14 verwendet werden soll.This is e.g. B. the case when a half or quarter-web-wide supply roll 14 can be used should.

Anschließend wird der Motor 23 des Fördersystems 24 von der speichprogrammierbaren Steuerung 29 über den Antriebsregler 33 beaufschlagt, so daß der Förderwagen 22 in der erforderlichen Richtung B solange bewegt wird, bis die von den Ultraschallsensoren 26; 27 gemessen Istwerte f; g mit den Sollwerten übereinstimmen.Then the motor 23 of the conveyor system 24 of the programmable controller 29 via the Drive controller 33 is applied so that the trolley 22 is moved in the required direction B as long as until that of the ultrasonic sensors 26; 27 measured Actual values f; g agree with the target values.

Die Messung der Abstände f; g erfolgt dabei durch die Ultraschallsensoren 26; 27 jeweils abwechselnd, um eine gegenseitige Beeinflussung derselben zu vermeiden, und so schnell, daß man von einer kontinuierlichen Messung sprechen kann. Dieser Vorgang wird ebenfalls durch die speicherprogrammierbare Steuerung 29 gesteuert.Measuring the distances f; g is done by the Ultrasonic sensors 26; 27 alternately by one avoid mutual interference, and so fast that you can count on a continuous measurement can speak. This process is also supported by the Programmable logic controller 29 controlled.

Nachdem die Abstände f, g zu den Seitenflächen 34; 36 stimmen, wird der Förderwagen 22 auf der Transporteinheit 19, z. B. mittels federbetätigter Klemmelemente, die mittels Arbeitszylinder während des Positionierens geöffnet werden, arretiert und nachfolgend die Transporteinheit 19 weiter in Papierbahnlaufrichtung A zum Rollenwechsler 1 verfahren, bis die Vorratsbahnrolle 14 in eine Aufnahmeposition kommt, in welcher diese von den Enden 9; 12 der Tragarme 6; 7 mittels der Spannkonen 13 aufgeachst und in die strichpunktierte obere Position E gebracht werden.After the distances f, g to the side surfaces 34; 36 agree, the trolley 22 on the Transport unit 19, e.g. B. by means of spring-operated Clamping elements, which are operated by means of working cylinders during the Positioning can be opened, locked and subsequently the transport unit 19 further in Move paper web direction A to reel changer 1, until the supply web roll 14 in a receiving position comes in which this from the ends 9; 12 of the support arms 6; 7 raised by means of the clamping cones 13 and into the dash-dotted upper position E are brought.

Durch weiteres Verfahren der Transporteinheit 19 in Richtung A, entgegengesetzt zum Fördersystem 21, kann von dem Förderwagen 22 eine nahezu verbrauchte Vorratsbahnrolle 16 - eine Restrolle in Position F aufgenommen - nachfolgend in Richtung A zum Fördersystem 21 Verfahren und auf dem Förderwagen 22 mittels des Fördersystems 21 in wellenparalleler Richtung B zu einem Papierlager gefördert werden.By moving the transport unit 19 in Direction A, opposite to the conveyor system 21, can of the tram 22 an almost used one Supply roll 16 - a remaining roll in position F added - subsequently in direction A to the conveyor system 21 method and on the trolley 22 by means of Conveyor system 21 in a direction parallel to the wave B to one Paper storage will be promoted.

Werden von einem Förderwagen 22 Vorratsbahnrollen kleineren Durchmessers aufgenommen, so können auf dem Förderwagen 22 nichtdargestellte Aufsätze aufgelegt werden.Are 22 supply train rolls from a trolley smaller diameter added, so on the Tram 22 not shown essays will.

Es ist auch möglich, die Förderwagen 22 höhenverstellbar auszubilden.It is also possible to adjust the height of the trolleys 22 to train.

Zusammengefaßt weist das Verfahren zum seitlichen Lageerfassen folgende Merkmale auf:

  • jede Vorratsbahnrolle (14; 16) wird zwischen zwei gegenüberliegende Sensoren (26; 27) gebracht und ein seitlicher Abstand (f; g) zwischen einer Seitenfläche (34; 36) der Vorratsbahnrolle (14; 16) und dem zugeordneten Sensor (26; 27) wird jeweils gemessen,
  • unterschiedlich große, auf eine Rollenbreite (i) angepaßte Sollwerte für den rechten und linken seitlichen Abstand (f; g) werden einer Auswerteeinheit (29) vorgegeben,
  • in der Auswerteeinheit (29) werden Istwerte mit den eingegebenen Sollwerten zur Rollenbreite (i) und Rollenabstand (f; g) verglichen,
  • bei Abweichung eines Istwertes des Rollenabstandes (f; g) vom Sollwert erfolgt mittels eines quer (B) zur Bahnlaufrichtung (A) verfahrbaren Förderwagens (22) ein Positionieren der Vorratsbahnrolle (14; 16).
In summary, the method for lateral position detection has the following features:
  • each supply web roll (14; 16) is brought between two opposite sensors (26; 27) and a lateral distance (f; g) between a side surface (34; 36) of the supply web roll (14; 16) and the associated sensor (26; 27 ) is measured in each case
  • Different sized target values for the right and left lateral spacing (f; g), adapted to a roll width (i), are predefined for an evaluation unit (29),
  • In the evaluation unit (29), actual values are compared with the entered target values for the roll width (i) and roll spacing (f; g),
  • if an actual value of the roller spacing (f; g) deviates from the target value, the supply web roller (14; 16) is positioned by means of a conveyor carriage (22) which can be moved transversely (B) to the web running direction (A).
