In the case of the satellite printing unit 02 is or are the satellite cylinders 18 also by a drive motor 61 mechanically independent of the associated printing units 13 rotatory driven. The drive motors 61 are preferably as with respect to their angular position controlled electric motors 61 , z. B. as induction motors, synchronous motors or DC motors. In an advantageous embodiment is between the drive motor 61 and the cylinder to be driven 16 ; 17 ; 18 or cylinder pair 16 . 17 ; 18 . 18 at least one gearbox 62 , in particular at least one reduction gear 62 (Such as pinion, intent and / or planetary gear) arranged. The individual drives contribute to high flexibility and to avoid vibrations in the mechanical drive system, and thus also to high quality in the product. In the following 8th to 10 have only the components of the right half of the figure corresponding reference numerals, since the left side corresponds to the right mirror image. For upper and lower printing units, there are alternative configurations for any existing inking or dampening units 14 ; 20 indicated which are to be transferred alternately to each other.

In 8th all have nine cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 each with its own drive motor 61 on, which in each case z. B. via a transmission 62 on the cylinder 16 ; 17 ; 18 drives. The above illustrated inking unit 14 has, in addition to other, not designated rolls two distribution cylinders 63 on which rotatory together by means of its own drive motor 64 are drivable. The two distribution cylinders 63 are axially movable and driven for generating an axial stroke by a drive means not shown. The inking unit shown below 14 only has a distribution cylinder 63 on. The dampening unit shown above 20 has, in addition to other, not designated rolls two distribution cylinders 66 on which rotatory together by means of its own drive motor 67 are drivable. The two distribution cylinders 66 are axially movable and driven for generating an axial stroke by a drive means not shown. The dampening unit shown below 20 only has a distribution cylinder 66 on. In a variant, which in the upper printing units 13 is indicated by dotted lines, the color and / or dampening 14 ; 20 not by its own drive motor 64 ; 67 but from one of the cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 , in particular of the forme cylinder 16 via a mechanical coupling, z. B. via gears and / or belts, rotationally driven.

In contrast to 8th be the two cylinders 16 ; 17 every printing unit 13 in the execution after 9 each of a common drive motor 61 on the transfer cylinder 17 driven. The drive can be axial, z. B. via a transmission 62 , or take place via a on a drive wheel of the transfer cylinder 17 driving pinion. From the drive wheel of the transfer cylinder 17 can then on a drive wheel of the forme cylinder 16 be aborted. The drive connection 68 (Shown as a connecting line) can be done as a gear connection or via belt and is executed encapsulated in development. For driving the inking and, if necessary, dampening unit 14 ; 20 via own drive motors 64 ; 67 or a cylinder 16 ; 17 ; 18 is basically that too 8th applied.

In contrast to 9 be the two cylinders 16 ; 17 every printing unit 13 in the execution after 10 although by a common drive motor 61 , but on the forme cylinder 16 driven. The drive can again axially, z. B. via a transmission 62 , or take place via a on a drive wheel of the forme cylinder 16 driving pinion. From the drive wheel of the forme cylinder 16 can then on a drive wheel of the transfer cylinder 17 be aborted. The drive connection 68 can like to 9 be explained set forth. For driving the inking and, if necessary, dampening unit 14 ; 20 via own drive motors 64 ; 67 or a cylinder 16 ; 17 ; 18 is basically that too 8th applied.

Unlike the in 8th or 9 indicated by dotted lines execution without its own rotary drive of the inking and / or dampening 14 ; 20 However, it is advantageous in a development of the transfer cylinder 17 on the inking and / or dampening unit 14 ; 20 to drive. Thus, a clear moment flow can be achieved and possibly occurring tooth flank changes can be avoided. An embodiment of such a drive train is shown schematically in FIG 11 shown.

The drive motor 61 drives over a pinion 71 on one with the form cylinder 16 torsionally rigid connected drive wheel 72 which in turn is on with the transfer cylinder 17 torsionally rigid connected drive wheel 73 drives. The drive wheel 73 is either widened or it is a second drive wheel 74 with the transfer cylinder 17 connected. The widened or additional drive wheel 73 ; 74 drives over a rotatable on a pin 76 of the forme cylinder 16 arranged drive wheel 77 on a drive wheel 78 of the inking and / or dampening unit 14 ; 20 , The drive wheels 72 ; 73 ; 74 ; 77 ; 78 are preferably designed as gears. In the event that the form cylinder 16 to set the axial position by, for example ± .DELTA.L axially displaceable, at least the pinion 71 and the drive wheels 72 to 74 straight toothed executed. Between drive motor 61 and the transmission 62 from pinion 71 and drive wheel 72 can additionally a dashed indicated, encapsulated Reduction gear 62 ' be arranged. The drive on the form cylinder 16 Alternatively, it can be axially on the pin 76 take place, where appropriate, an axial movement of the forme cylinder 16 via an unillustrated, an axial relative movement between the forme cylinder 16 and the drive motor 61 receiving coupling takes place. The satellite cylinder 18 in this illustration is also about a pinion 71 on a drive wheel assigned to it 79 , especially gear 79 , powered. Each by an independent drive motor 61 driven drive train is in an advantageous embodiment at least in isolation, possibly in even smaller units, encapsulated (dashed in 11 ) Shown.

The described embodiments of the printing unit 02 or the printing units 13 or their cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 or the drive allows a low-vibration, accurate printing high quality with a low on the achievable product strength technical and spatial complexity.

After printing the z. B. six printed pages wide web 03 this runs, possibly on unspecified vanes and / or draw rollers, in the area of the superstructure 04 and is z. B. by the longitudinal cutting devices 06 guided ( 12 ). This has z. B. a roller 81 , for example one by means of its own drive motor 80 driven tension roller 81 on, with which pressure rollers can work together to avoid slippage. Slitter 06 and the draw roller 81 may also be carried out separately, but preferably with the longitudinal cutting device 06 as a defeat another roller acts together. In this slitting equipment 06 will be the train 03 for example, in several, z. B. three, partial web widths 03a ; 03b ; 03c , short part tracks 03a ; 03b ; 03c (symbolized by center lines, lines 03a . 03b merely indicated), cut longitudinally before these partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c subsequent guide elements, for. B. rolling register devices 08 , Turning bars of turning devices 07 , Run-on rollers for the funnel inlet or draw rolls are fed. In order to achieve low-vibration web transport with respect to the web tension, individual, several or all of the non-driven or merely by friction with the web 03a ; 03b ; 03c driven guide elements, which are used to guide partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c are provided are executed with a reduced length. Thus, in addition to the length of the otherwise for z. B. six pages wide machines large required strength of the vanes and thus significantly reduce the inertia. The risk of vibrations in the web tension, which otherwise exists in particular when there is a change in speed, is effectively reduced, which in turn is reflected in the passer-loading and thus in the quality of the print. The following remarks on the guide elements of reduced length, the lateral location changeability and the assignment of a register roller to another guide element are to be applied to a variety of printing machines, but of particular advantage i. V. m. wide, z. B. six plates wide machines.

12 shows in a perspective oblique view, a first embodiment of at least a portion of the superstructure 04 , Exemplary is in 12 the sub-railway 03b as sub-web turned from the center to the outside 03b shown. A second of the subways 03a ; 03c could for example by means of a second such turning device 07 also be turned into another escape. A second turning device can, for. B. above or below the first turning device 07 lie.

The turning device 07 points as a guiding element 82 as usual, two parallel or crossed turning bars 82 on, which with the transport direction of the incoming part of the web 03a ; 03b ; 03c form an angle of about 45 ° or 135 °, and by means of which an incoming web 03a ; 03b ; 03c is laterally displaceable and / or can be staggered. The turning bars 82 advantageously have a length L82 whose projection on the transverse extent of the incoming part of the web 03a ; 03b ; 03c insignificantly larger, z. B. 0% to 20% greater than the width of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c is, ie the length L82 is approximately 1.4 to 1.7 times the partial web width. At least the length L82 is chosen such that its projection is less than or equal to twice the width of a two-side-width partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c is, ie the length L82 is at most 2.8 times the partial web width. In an advantageous embodiment, the turning bars 82 each individually on straps 83 stored, which transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c on at least one tour 84 are changeable. The now "short" turning bars 82 can now be brought to the required position depending on the requirement from the desired web guide. Under certain circumstances, both turning bars can 82 on such a carrier 83 be stored.

Offset, turned, transferred and / or fallen partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c experienced opposite other subways 03a ; 03c Usually an offset in the direction of rotation and therefore by means of a register device 08 corrected in the longitudinal register. The register device 08 points as a guiding element 86 at least one parallel to the direction movable roller 86 on. The roller 86 or more rolls 86 the register device 08 advantageously have a length L86 which is insignificantly larger, z. B. 0% to 20% larger than the width of the incoming part web 03a ; 03b ; 03c is. At a minimum, the length L86 is less than or equal to twice the width of a two-side width sub-web 03a ; 03b ; 03c , In an advantageous embodiment, the register device 08 transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c on at least one tour 87 movably stored. The now narrow register device 08 or their short rolls 86 can now be brought to the required position depending on the requirement from the desired web guide.

In addition to the cutting, possibly turning and possibly registers is the sub-web 03a ; 03b ; 03c in the superstructure 04 u. U. on more, non-driven vanes, such as guide rollers, not shown, performed before they ultimately one of the folding structure 11 upstream casserole or harp roller 88 the so-called hard 09 ( 1 ) is supplied. For straight running tracks 03 or partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c is in the superstructure 04 upstream of the harp roller 89 for example, over the full web width b03 reaching, in the transport direction spatially changeable register roller 91 and a guide roller 92 arranged.

In an advantageous embodiment, a length L88 of a guide roller and / or harp roller 88 ; 93 insignificantly larger, z. B. 0% to 20% greater than the width of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c , At least the length L88; L93 ( 13 ) smaller than or equal to twice the width of a two-side wide sub-web 03a ; 03b ; 03c , In the embodiment according to 12 is the "short" harp roller 88 as a section 88 a divided in this embodiment, but a total of six pages wide web 03 reaching harp roller 89 realized. The sections 88 are here rotatably mounted independently of each other.

The "short" harp roller 88 ; 93 as a guiding element 88 ; 93 However, instead of or in addition to a section 88 also, as in 13 shown as a harp roller individually arranged on a frame 93 be executed. This can then either fixed to the frame, or on a support 94 on a tour 96 transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c be arranged variable in position.

Since the offset when turning, moving, falling, etc., only this partial path 03a ; 03b ; 03c relates and is tied to their special web guide, in an advantageous embodiment, the required register device 08 at least one the course of the sub-train 03a ; 03b ; 03c determining guiding elements, such. B. the turning device 07 or a turning bar 82 or the hard one 09 or a "short" harp roller 93 , be assigned.

In 13 is the "short" registry 08 z. B. the "short" harp roller 93 assigned and together with this at the lead 96 transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03b ; 03c local variable.

In 14 is the "short" registry 08 z. B. one of the "short" turning bars 82 assigned and together with this at the lead 84 transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03b local variable. Although this arrangement is here for crossed turning bars 82 shown, but on parallel turning bars 82 out 11 apply. In the case of the crossed or orthogonal turning bars 82 is at least one (here two) guide roller 97 with perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the roller 81 extending axis of rotation.

In an advantageous embodiment are in the superstructure 04 a three-width press per full web 03 two such, with register and turning device 08 ; 07 or with register and harp roller 93 jointly movable "short" devices above or below each other.

The guides 84 ; 96 ( 13 and 14 ) of the aforementioned embodiments can be realized in many different ways. For example, the guides 84 ; 96 be designed as spindles with at least sections threaded, which is rotatably mounted on both sides and z. B. are rotatably driven by a drive, not shown. The carriers 83 ; 94 can be in the form of sliding blocks also in rigid guides 84 ; 96 , z. B. on profiles, be performed. This can be a drive of the carrier 83 ; 94 also via a drivable spindle or done in another way.

By means of the transversely adjustable turning bar 82 are variable transfers or offset of partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c over one or two partial web widths (or even multiples of a half partial web width) away possible. Here are the printed partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c in the escape of one of several, here three, arranged side by side, transverse to the direction of the former 101 ; 102 ; 103 ( 15 ) of the folder structure 11 brought. The transfer takes place, for example, to meet the requirement of different strengths of individual strands or ultimately intermediate or end products, at the same time an effective printing with the fullest possible web widths should be made.

For n full tracks to be printed 03 ; 03 ' (eg n printing towers 01 ) of a respective maximum width b03 of m printed pages, the superstructure 04 in an advantageous embodiment at least (n · (m / 2 - 1)) turning devices 07 on. In the case of a six page wide printing machine and z. B. three lanes 03 ; 03 ' (or three printing towers 01 ) Each section has six turning devices 07 per section of advantage.

In one embodiment of a printing press with z. B. two sections of three printing towers 01 and a total of six four-page wide webs for two-sided four-color printing 03 ; 03 '; 03 '' are at least three turning devices 07 arranged per section.

In an advantageous embodiment of a printing machine with z. B. two sections of two printing towers 01 and a total of four for six-sided four-color printing provided six printed pages wide webs 03 ; 03 '; 03 '' are z. B. four turning devices 07 arranged per section. In this press with two sections or a total of four printing towers 01 (four lanes 03 ; 03 ' ) is then in the collective operation, a product with a total strength of z. B. 96 pages generated. In addition to the offset of a partial line 03a ; 03b ; 03c by an integer multiple of its partial track width b03a, a mode of operation is advantageous, wherein a partial path 03a ; 03b ; 03c is offset by an odd multiple of half the partial web width b03a and / or funnel width (ie by a factor of 0.5, 1.5, 2.5) ( 15 ). This can be done by means of long, over the entire width of the printing press or the width b03 of the entire web 03 reaching turning bars (not shown), but also advantageous by means of the above-described portable "short" turning bars 82 respectively. The turning bars 82 are then, for example, as in 15 shown arranged so that the first of the sub-web 03a ; 03b ; 03c entwined turning bar 82 at least over an entire width of a subsequent former 101 ; 102 ; 103 Aligns while the second turning bar 82 at least with two adjacent halves of two juxtaposed subsequent formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 flees.

The partial track offset by an odd multiple of half the funnel width b101 or partial track width b03a 03a ; 03b ; 03c thus runs "between" the formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 , This is in 15 and 16 on the example of the six printed pages wide funnel arrangement on a two-page wide sub-web 03a ; 03b ; 03c shown, but also to transfer to machines of other widths. There is thus no need for only one printed page wide partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c or partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c half a funnel width b101 printed as such and are passed through the machine. A high variety in the product is nevertheless possible.

The partial track offset by an odd multiple of half the partial track width b03a 03a ; 03b ; 03c is in front of the former 101 ; 102 ; 103 in one between the two aligned folding hoppers 101 ; 102 ; 103 lying escape cut longitudinally and runs on the Falzaufbau 11 or the harp 09 ie undivided and / or split harp roller 89 and / or "short" harp roller 93 , to ( 16 ).

In 16 is a schematic section of the 15 with exemplary differently executed hard rollers 89 ; 93 represented, for example, the partial web 03c from its original position (shown unfilled) was offset by one and a half sub-web widths b03a. You can, if, for example, with another slitter 104 in front of the folder hoppers 101 ; 102 ; 103 is cut (then each a printed page or newspaper page wide), each half in half with the partial webs 03a and 03b on each a former 101 ; 102 be guided. The two (intermediate) products then have z. B. in each case at least one a printed page wide sub-web 03c1 ; 03c2 a former two pages wide partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c on. In addition, partial webs 03a '; 03b '; 03c ' from others, eg. B. in another printing unit 02 or another printing tower 01 printed webs 03 ' on one or more of the harp rollers 89 ; 93 accrues. The in the same flight over or under each other running partial webs 03a . 03a ' . 03c1 ; 03b . 03b ' . 03c2 ; 03c ' can now z. B. each to a strand 109 ; 111 ; 112 put together a former 101 ; 102 ; 103 be supplied. In the exemplary embodiment, it is therefore possible to use two webs printed on both sides in double-size and three-width printing units (eg four-color) 03 ; 03 ' Products or intermediates (also called notebooks or books) with the following, depending on the occupancy of the form cylinder 16 and the corresponding operation of the folder 12 generate different number of pages: For single production, ie the forme cylinder 16 is in the circumferential direction with two printing plates 19 different printed pages A1, A2 to F1, F2 (or A1 ', A2' to F1 ', F2' for the second lane 03 ' ) and in the folder 12 A cross-cutting and gathering is done over the strands 109 and 111 two different booklets each with 10 printed pages, and over the strand 112 two different booklets each with 4 printed pages generated. A total product has z. B. 48 pages. If this press is operated in double production, ie the form cylinder 16 is in the circumferential direction with two printing plates 19 same printed pages A1, A1; to F1, (or A1 ', A1' to F1 ', F1') occupied and in the folder 12 If there is no collecting, then they are over the strands 109 . 111 and 112 in each case two identical consecutive booklets of the above-mentioned page numbers can be generated. It is a total product with z. B. only 24 pages, but produced with double output.

The harp rollers 89 ; 93 In particular, if they are designed undivided over the full length, can be rotationally driven in a development on its own, not shown drive motors. These are then z. B. with respect to their speed, u. U. also their location, running adjustable and are available to take over current setpoints with the machine control or an electronic Master axis in connection.

Following the harp rollers 89 ; 93 they become one strand 109 ; 111 ; 112 or to several strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 summarized. The later location of the sub-railway 03a ; 03b ; 03c ; respectively. 03a '; 03b '; 03c ' in the strand 109 ; 111 ; 112 or their printed pages in the intermediate and / or final product is, inter alia, by the choice of a relative position to others, the harp 09 continuous partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c ; respectively. 03a '; 03b '; 03c ' already in the harp 09 established. The harp rollers 89 ; 93 a hard one 09 are mutually vertically and / or horizontally offset and preferably stored as a unit in a common frame. In principle, for each of the vertically offset groups of formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 respectively. 106 ; 107 ; 108 such a harp 09 be provided.

To save height, have in an advantageous embodiment, as in 1 and 19 shown, the two superposed, but aligned in their plane of symmetry former 101 . 106 ; 102 . 107 ; 103 . 108 a common hard 09 on. For n full tracks to be printed 03 ; 03 ' (eg n printing towers 01 a section) of a respective maximum width b03 of m printed pages, the harp 09 in an advantageous embodiment, at least (n × m / 2) harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 on whose axes of rotation z. B. are substantially in a common plane, and which are preferably stored in a common frame. In the case of the present six pages width printing machine and z. B. two lanes 03 ; 03 ' (or two printing towers 01 ) are at least six harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 each harp 09 advantageous.

In one embodiment of a section of the printing press with three printing towers 01 and three tracks provided for the two-sided four-color printing 03 ; 03 '; 03 '' are at least nine harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 each hard 09 arranged. In this section, a product with a total strength of z. B. 72 pages generated.

In an advantageous embodiment of a printing machine with z. B. two sections of two printing towers 01 and a total of four for six-sided four-color printing provided six printed pages wide webs 03 ; 03 '; 03 '' are at least six harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 each hard 09 arranged a section. These six harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 each section, so here twelve, can in two structurally separate harps 09 z. B. over a common folding structure 11 or two folder assemblies 11 , but also in a structurally common hard 09 z. B. be arranged in two alignments. In this press with two sections or a total of four printing towers 01 (four lanes 03 ; 03 ' ) is then in the collective operation, a product with a total strength of z. B. 96 pages generated.

In one embodiment of a printing press with z. B. two sections of two printing towers 01 and a total of four for six-sided four-color printing provided six printed pages wide webs 03 ; 03 '; 03 '' are at least six harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 each hard 09 arranged a section. These six harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 each section, so here twelve, can in two structurally separate hard 09 z. B. over a common Fal zaufbau 11 or two folder assemblies 11 , but also in a structurally common hard 09 z. B. be arranged in two alignments. In this press with two sections or a total of four printing towers 01 (four lanes 03 ; 03 ' ) is then in the collective operation, a product with a total strength of z. B. 96 pages generated.

Is only a folding structure 11 provided for two sections, so is the number of harp rollers required 89 ; 93 according to the configuration of the two sections. Is the folding structure 11 arranged between these two sections, so are either all harp rollers 89 ; 93 in an escape or to save height the harp rollers 89 ; 93 each section arranged in alignment and the alignment with each other in the radial direction offset horizontally. The harp rollers 89 ; 93 the two escapes are here z. B. again arranged in a common frame.

Are, as in 1 hinted, although two folder structures 11 provided for the two sections, it may nevertheless be advantageous for at least one of the two harps 09 a number of harp rollers 89 ; 93 , if necessary in the two above-mentioned alignments, which would be required for both sections. Thus, there is an even greater degree of flexibility in product strength and composition. In a section printed tracks 03 ; 03 ' can now if necessary for further processing of the harp 09 the other section are fed and vice versa.

According to 18 is at least one of the partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc., which is the front of the upper former 101 ; 102 ; 103 arranged common harp 09 goes through, on the lower former 106 ; 107 ; 108 feasible or guided. Depending on the desired strength of the individual intermediates (booklets, books) are more or less of the partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. on the upper or lower former 101 ; 102 ; 103 respectively. 106 ; 107 ; 108 to convict. Depending on the production requirements, so different strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 on the lower or upper former 101 ; 102 ; 103 respectively. 106 ; 107 ; 108 are given. For example, the dashed in 17 shown partial webs as a strand 113 ; 114 ; 116 on the respective lower former 106 ; 107 ; 108 , and the solid on the top of each former 101 ; 102 ; 103 guided. This is, depending on where the "separation" in superimposed sub-webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. from the common hard 09 A flexible production of variously strong intermediates (booklets, books) or end products with reduced effort is possible. In 18 is a second escape from harp rollers 89 ; 93 represented by dashed lines, by means of which, as described above, for example, partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. can be recorded from another section.

In the case of multi-colored products, it is when using the described folding structure 11 with common hard 09 advantageous in terms of flexibility, all printing units 02 or printing towers 01 or the ways of the train 03 ; 03 ' to be executed with the same color. So z. B. the web 03 ; 03 ' and / or sub-railway 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. or the printing unit 13 for a colored cover sheet flexibly selectable and the strength of the intermediates variable.

The above folding construction 11 with only one harp 09 for two stackers arranged one above the other 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 is also suitable for other printing presses with different cylinder widths and cylinder circumferences. Such, from two stacked formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 and a common hard 09 existing folding superstructure 11 can also have a third former with its own hard 09 be arranged. The described folding structure 11 with a plurality of vertically offset folding hoppers 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 assigned harp 09 is also on three stacked formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 well applicable.

outsides for example, an outer book can thus be a specific web guide and / or a specific Assign printing tower / printing unit.

Through the multiple formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 assigned harp 09 It is possible, the superimposed partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. depending on the desired product to flexibly to different strong books to work without a high cost of additional, unnecessary dislocations of partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. would be required. So z. B. of four superimposed partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. in one case three tracks on one and one on the other former 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 while at other times two sub-trains each 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. summarized on a former 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 be guided. It is particularly advantageous that adjacent strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 different strong, as in 17 represented, can be summarized.

The formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 each upstream train 117 and funnel inlet rollers 118 have in an advantageous embodiment as well as in Falzaufbau 11 provided draw rolls 121 ( 19 ) each own drive motors 119 on. In 19 is the draw roller 117 for the lower group of the former 106 ; 107 ; 108 not visible. The respective drive motor 119 the draw rolls 121 is in 19 only by filling the relevant tension roller 121 shown. Each of the former 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 is in an advantageous embodiment, at least one such driven traction roller 121 downstream, which with pressure rollers or a pressure roller over the strand 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 interacts. Next to it, the folding structure 11 preferably non-driven guide rollers 122 on, over which the one print side wide strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 can be performed.

Particularly advantageous, for. B. in terms of compliance / adjustment of longitudinal registers, also has the folder 12 at least one of their own, from the printing units 02 mechanically independent drive motor 120 on. While the drive motors 119 the draft or funnel inlet rollers 117 ; 118 ; 121 the folding structure 11 and / or driven pull rolls 81 of the superstructure 04 have to be performed only regulated with respect to a speed (with respect. An angular position can be performed), is the drive motor 120 at the folder 12 executed in an advantageous embodiment with respect to its angular position adjustable or regulated.

Thus, it is possible in one embodiment, the mechanically independently driven printing units 02 and the folder 12 (or their drive motors 61 ; 120 ) to specify an angular position with respect to a virtual electronic master axis. In another embodiment, for. B. the angular position of the folder 12 (or its drive motor 120 ) and based on this, the relative angular position of the printing units 02 or printing units 13 predetermined for this. The z. B. only with respect to their speed controlled drive motors 80 ; 119 the driven rollers 81 ; 117 ; 118 get their speed specification, for example, from the machine control.

In Collective production, the page numbers then double each from two longitudinally folded Sections collected intermediates.

For printing in tabloid format the respective page numbers have to be doubled. The dimensioning of the cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 and groups of formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 is to apply accordingly to each "lying" printed pages, wherein in the circumferential direction or direction of the web 03 ; 03 '; 03a ; 03b ; 03c a section A; B; C has two lying printed pages, the forme cylinder 16 then so z. B. has a scope corresponding to four horizontal printed pages in tabloid format. The number of printed pages in the longitudinal direction remains per web 03 ; 03 '; 03a ; 03b ; 03c or cylinder 16 ; 17 ; 18 or funnel width exist.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the triple wide printing press is the folder 12 with a transport cylinder 123 , z. B. collecting and / or folding blade, executed, which has a scope for receiving more than five circumferentially successively arranged section lengths and a corresponding number of holding devices 129 having.

The folder 12 include three strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 of three juxtaposed folders 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 can be fed at the same time. However, the folder can also have up to six strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 be fed from different funnel groups, which are then processed into a product.

The transport cylinder 123 It is designed with a large circumference in order to ensure correspondingly large positioning movements (cutting, holding, folding) at high production speeds. On the other hand, the increased radius of curvature reduces the pronounced oblique cut edge of the cross-cut product, especially in the case of strong products.

20 shows a schematic side view of the folder 12 , The folder 12 has at least one inlet, here two enemas, for one or more strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 on.

The strand 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 passes through a Zugwalzenpaar 124 for adjusting the tension and hits the transport cylinder 123 at the height of a cutting gap 126 between the transport cylinder 123 on the one hand and a cutting cylinder 127 on the other hand. Instead of two inlets and two cutting gaps 126 may also be provided one, three or more. In an advantageous embodiment, in the region of the puncture needle penetration (in the case of a Punkturfalzapparates), ie at the location of the needling of the strand bundle immediately before the cutting gap 126 at least one pressure roller 140 arranged as an abutment. This assigns For example, circumferential, in the axial direction to the arrangement of the needles corresponding grooves in which the puncturing needles can penetrate after passing through the strand bundle / strand.

A cutting of the strand 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 or strand bundle takes place in the cutting gap 126 between cutting and transport cylinder 127 ; 123 through at least one cutting blade 128 of the cutting cylinder 127 which, for example, with a corresponding, not shown, cutting bar on the transport cylinder 123 cooperates as an abutment.

The cutting cylinder 127 has a circumference corresponding to at least one, preferably two or more lengths of the webs 03 ; 04 to be produced signatures and carries two cutting blades 128 ,

The illustrated folder 12 here has two such, on the circumference of the transport cylinder 123 arranged cutting cylinder 127 on, which in each case two cutting knives 128 wear. As shown, two in the folder 12 Strands to be made into a product 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 or strand bundles 135 (eg from different formers 101 . 102 . 103 ; 106 . 107 . 108 coming) in the two cutting gaps 126 led and cut there separately. The cutting knife 128 are in an advantageous embodiment to each other slightly offset from one another by 180 ° to each other on the circumference to prevent repeating in the collective operation of a first recorded signature. It thus becomes one signature shorter and the subsequent longer than half the circumference of the cutting cylinder 127 cut. In this case, a length of a signature is to be understood as an average length.

The folder 12 In an advantageous embodiment, it may have a device (not shown) for shortening the effective circumferential section length. In a first variant for this purpose, the transport cylinder 123 in the range of its circumference between two transport devices 129 a not shown, optionally in the radial direction of the peripheral surface of the transport cylinder 123 out and back into movable displacer, which causes an effective shortening of the signature with respect to the circumference or an effective increase in the distance between two when exiting the peripheral surface. In an alternative embodiment, for example, the transport cylinder 123 on its circumference in a region which is covered by recorded product portions, a recess or depression (eg a groove or groove) into which a received product portion by a corresponding projection (eg a bar or noses) on the circumference of Scheid cylinder 127 is depressible. This device preferably has the second, ie in 20 the lower of the two cutting cylinders 127 on. Thus, also on the second (lower) cutting cylinder 127 cut signature to be cut without one already on the transport cylinder 123 The location of the activated, that is in operative position, device for the shortening (interaction of roller and strip or extension of a displacer on the transport cylinder 123 ) takes place advantageously within a section length following the cutting gap 126 (viewed in the direction of rotation).

The circumference of the transport cylinder 123 corresponds to more than five, in particular seven section lengths or seven lengths of the signature ("seven-field transport cylinder 123 "). At the transport cylinder 11 are circumferentially in succession seven at equal intervals in the peripheral surface of the transport cylinder 123 recessed holding devices 129 , z. B. spiked bars 129 arranged with extendable puncture needles (Punkturfalzapparat). The holding devices 129 can also be used as a grapple 129 be executed (Greiferfalzapparat). Next seven cutting bars are arranged, which preferably viewed in the direction of rotation in each case slightly (eg 0.3 to 3 cm) to position of the nip (Greiferfalzapparat) or the puncture puncture (Punkturfalzapparat) on the lateral surface of the transport cylinder 123 spaced apart. Also the scope of the jaw cylinder 132 preferably corresponds to more than five, in particular seven section lengths or seven lengths of the signature.

The off the line 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 truncated signature (section length, eg length of a stationary printed page, especially newspaper page) is through the holding device 129 on the transport cylinder 123 further promoted.

At the transport cylinder 123 are also seven folding blades 130 attached, each when reaching a gap 131 (depending on the collection or normal operation, each or several times) between the transport cylinder 123 and a jaw cylinder 132 be extended to the at the transport cylinder 123 transported signatures to the jaw cylinder 132 to hand over and fold. For this purpose, the jaw cylinder 132 evenly spaced in the circumferential direction z. B. as many jaws (not shown) on how the number of folding blades 130 and / or the holding devices 129 on the transport cylinder 127 , in particular seven. The folded products are from the jaw cylinder 132 to a paddle wheel 133 pass and from this to a display device tung 134 , z. B. a conveyor belt 134 designed.

Preferably, the folder is 12 , or its transport cylinder 123 designed to be switchable between a mode for a normal and a collective mode, as desired. When collecting gives the transport cylinder 123 the signature (product section) not yet on the first passage through the gap 131 to the next cylinder 132 but takes in a further turn with the same, the first round, z. B. the jaw cylinder 132 , pass, the first signature bearing holding means 129 at least one more signature before the so-collected signatures together in the gap 131 to the jaw cylinder 132 be delivered. In the mode of normal operation, the transport cylinder 123 the signature each time the first time through the gap 131 to the next cylinder 132 from. The transport cylinder 123 is in umstellbarer execution preferably as Punkturzylinder 123 , in particular with seven spiked strips 129 in scope, executed.

cutting 127 , Transport 123 , Jaw cylinder 132 and possibly paddle wheel 133 are preferred by at least one drive motor 136 (schematically in 19 drive motor 120 shown) mechanically independent of printing units 03 , Superstructure 04 as well as folding structure 11 driven. The drive is advantageously via a transmission, in particular a reduction gear, from the drive motor 136 on one or more of the cylinders 123 ; 127 ; 132 of the folder 12 ,

In the in 20 illustrated embodiment is the drive motor 136 via an unillustrated transmission (eg, unspecified pinion or drive wheels) on the cutting cylinder 127 (or on one of several cutting cylinder 127 ). From the latter is on the transport cylinder 123 and from this to the jaw cylinder 132 and possibly another cutting cylinder 127 driven. From the jaw cylinder 132 is here via a belt drive 137 on the paddle wheel 133 driven.

From the latter is on the or the cutting cylinder 127 and the jaw cylinder 132 driven. From the jaw cylinder 132 is eg over the belt drive again 137 on the paddle wheel 133 driven. In both cases described, the display device 134 preferably your own, from the cylinders 123 . 127 ; 132 and the paddle wheel 133 mechanically independent drive motor.

cutting 127 , Transport 123 and jaw cylinder 132 can also each be mechanically independent of each other and driven by the printing units by their own drive motors.

In another advantageous drive design, cutting edges are 127 , Transport 123 and jaw cylinder 132 by at least one common or alternatively by each one of the printing units mechanically independent drive motor 136 driven, while in a first variant paddle wheel 133 and display device 134 by a common drive motor mechanically independent of the cylinders 123 ; 127 ; 132 and the printing units and in a second variant are each driven in rotation by their own drive motors.

Also, a possibly provided band system for guiding the product sections in and through the folder 12 can by its own drive motor mechanically independent of the cylinders 123 ; 127 ; 132 be driven.

With the execution of the transport cylinder 123 with seven section lengths on the circumference it is possible for the above reasons, twelve lanes 03 or the corresponding number of partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. (up to seventy-two paper layers), divided into up to six strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 , in the folder 12 respectively. This can be done by means of a folder 12 without collecting a product with z. B. a total of 144 pages, especially newspaper pages produce. Is the folder 12 designed for collective operation, so can be by means of six tracks 03 the product of z. B. 144 pages or more lanes 03 produce even higher page numbers. For the latter product is the folder 12 for example, designed as a wheel rebate or the holding devices 129 and the jaws must be designed accordingly to accommodate such many layers.

It is advantageous here, if in the entrance area, the one pair of draw rollers 124 or more pairs of pull rolls 124 in each case at least one own drive motor 139 exhibit. This can be done in the entrance area of the folder 12 several strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 be summarized. In an advantageous embodiment, the folder 12 , as shown, in the entrance area two Zugwalzenpaare 124 and two with the transport cylinder 123 cooperating cutting cylinders 127 on. This allows two "bundles" of several strands in the entrance area 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 be put together, and these bundles successively on the transport cylinder 123 be guided and cut separately from each other. These measures also contribute to the aforementioned achievable product strength. Here, bundles of different or the same Number of strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 in both Zugwalzenpaare 124 , or just all or a number of strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 one of the two Zugwalzenpaare 124 be supplied.

In the illustrated embodiment, the folder 12 another, by a drive motor 141 driven train group 142 (or two more in the case of two enemas) before the cutting gap 126 on. This is particularly advantageous when two cutting cylinders 127 are provided. The train groups 142 are then the same distance along the "bundle path" of the associated cutting gap 126 spaced.

In an advantageous embodiment of a folding apparatus 12 In particular, but not exclusively, the folder shown and described above 12 - This shows instead of the (or the) cutting cylinder 127 with two circumferentially successively arranged cutting blades 128 a cutting cylinder 127 ' with four cutting blades 128 in the circumferential direction on ( 21 ). The circumference of the cutting cylinder 127 ' essentially corresponds to four section lengths of the product to be cut. With one turn are through the four circumferentially successively arranged knife 128 four cuts performed. The four knives 128 In an advantageous manner-differing from an equidistant arrangement-each 90 ° -δ and 90 ° + δ can be alternately spaced apart from one another, wherein δ represents a small angle (eg smaller than 2 °, in particular smaller than 1 °). In particular, the longer and the shorter should differ from the middle section length by about 1 to 5, in particular 1.5 to 3.5 mm, ie two successive sections differ in their length in total by 3 to 7 mm.

While the cutting force is possibly increased, a reduction in the wear of grooved rubber, pressure bars and / or knives is effected. Through optimized diameter design of the cutting cylinder 127 ' there is a reduction of the excavation effect in the grooved rubber and the bending load of the knife 128 ,

Two or more strands or bundles of strands 135 For example, before entering the cutting gap 126 via a roller or a pair of rollers 125 - driven by a motor (as a train group 125 ) or non-driven (deflection rollers) - be summarized. However, it can only be a strand bundle 135 the folder 12 fed and into the cutting gap 126 be guided. In 21 has been simplified to the detailed description of the rest of the conveyor system (drive motor 141 driven train group 142 etc.) and the drive motor 136 omitted drive train, this being advantageous in one of the above variants (but without upper cutting cylinder 127 ) can be executed. The circumference corresponds to four (middle) lengths of the tracks 03 ; 04 to be produced signatures. Again, in one embodiment as set forth above, the cutting blades 128 not equidistant on the circumference of the cutting cylinder 127 ' arranged, but it alternates an angular segment slightly larger than 90 ° and a little smaller 90 ° at the periphery.

For folders or folders 12 For higher page numbers and higher speeds, apart from the centrifugal forces, the needling (puncturing) or clamping (gripper) and the folding process itself, the cutting process and the cutting performance are also a critical parameter. The cutting cylinder 127 ' With quadruple circumference is therefore particularly advantageous in the above-described printing machine with three-wide printing units because of the possibility of cutting strands of large product thicknesses 02 and / or cooperating with a seven-field transport cylinder 123 arranged. However, the four-circumference design is also applicable to any of these web presses and / or cooperates with multi-field (eg, five or seven) transfer cylinders of other formats to increase accuracy and / or product strength. The quadruple cutting cylinder 127 ' leads to a lower tilt of the cutting blade 128 when hitting a cutting bar on the transport cylinder and possibly there provided slot rubber, which also requires a lower cutting power (energy or power) is required as the double cutting cylinder 127 , A puncture and dipping of the knife in the Nutgummi takes place at a significantly smaller angle of inclination of the cutting blade 128 , Both the bending and the compressive stress of the cutting blade 128 Overall, it is smaller than with the double cutting cylinder 127 ,

With the arrangement of a fourfold cutting cylinder 127 ' can despite strong products a second double cutting cylinder 127 on the circumference of the transport cylinder 123 omitted.

Also in 21 is an advantageous embodiment of the folder 12 - as a supplement to the version with quadruple cutting cylinder 127 ' and / or 7-fold transport cylinder 123 or considered individually - with a pressing device 143 shown.

The arrangement of a pressure element 143 allows for a better and trouble-free pimping of puncture needles 144 (the holding device 129 ) of the transport cylinder 123 to be included in the product sections. It becomes the bending stress of the point needles 144 (in short: needles 144 ) and / or reduces the risk of bursting and wiping of the product sections during the puncture. Basically, it is possible the pressure cylinder 143 to carry out for this purpose in different ways. For example, the lateral surface corresponding to the axial position of the needles 144 in the circumferential direction (the needles 144 when unrolling receiving) have circumferential grooves or recesses. Also, the lateral surface instead or in addition to this compliant material -. B. foam - have, which at the puncture of the needles 144 at the point concerned, the strand to be patched 135 but otherwise supports.

In an advantageous embodiment is a single or multi-part, clocked Andrückzylinder 143 , z. B. with spring-loaded pressing elements 146 , provided to the strand 135 or strand bundles 135 during penetration and puncture by the needles 144 firmly against the transport cylinder 123 (Collecting cylinder) to press and give the paper no leading to bursting Ausweichmöglichkeit. The pressure cylinder 143 or the pressing elements 146 has or show in an advantageous embodiment complementary to each other in mutual settlement of pressure and transport cylinder 143 ; 123 resulting pattern of the extended needles 144 a group of recesses 147 , in particular holes 147 , for holding the needles 144 on. In 22 is the interaction of needles 144 and the holes 147 the pressing elements 146 shown schematically. Over the length of the Andrückzylinders 143 can either be designed as a bar pressure element 146 with several holes 147 or it can in the axial direction next to each other more pressing element 146 each with one or more holes 147 be arranged, the group of holes 146 in all cases as stated above complementary to the arrangement of the needles 144 are to be arranged. The pressure cylinder 143 preferably has a circumference which corresponds to an integer multiple of a section length of the product section. Corresponds to the extent of a section length, as viewed in cross section is a group of above-described, axially spaced holes 144 intended. In a two section lengths corresponding circumference are two circumferentially equidistant spaced groups of holes 146 intended.

The point needles 144 are before the puncture z. B. completely out of the transport cylinder 123 extended, so no additional acceleration forces on a the movement of the puncture bars 129 effecting puncture control cam act. It can in cross-section reinforced puncture needles 144 be used to increase the stability.

Advantageous - as in 21 shown - occurs a strand of the strand 135 or the strand bundle on the transport cylinder 123 before the beginning of the puncture by the needles 144 , The placement of the pressure element 146 takes place preferably after emergence of the strand 135 on the transport cylinder 123 but before the beginning of the puncture by the needles 144 instead of. The puncture and puncture of the puncture needles 144 takes place against these pressure elements 146 ,

Prefers there is a lifting of the pressure elements from the strand or strands of paper after completion of the needling. supports This is for example by the radially directed to the outside resilient mounting of the pressing elements.

As stated above, the pressing elements in an advantageous embodiment at the location of the puncture of the puncturing needles 144 drilling 147 on. These are z. B. designed with a slightly larger diameter than the puncturing needles 144 yourself. The holes 147 are z. B. tapered from the rear, on the one hand, the relative tilting of the puncturing needles 144 not to interfere with the passage and yet through a tight bore 147 to prevent the paper from bursting when puncturing the puncture needle.

In addition, scraper elements may be provided to aid in the stripping of the paper as the punctures ebb. This can be z. B. by changing the construction of the spur strip 129 or their movement take place in such a way that instead of pivoting Punkturhalter as well as with wheel folders linearly moving point needles 144 be used. This allows the holes 147 in the cylinder body of the Andrückzylinders 143 for the passage of the needles 144 be kept so small that they effectively support the stripping.

In principle, it is also possible, the pressure cylinder 143 without specially spring-mounted pressure elements 146 perform. Here, for example, the holes 147 directly in the lateral surface of the pressure cylinder 143 be arranged. They are then again complementary to each other in mutual settlement of Andrück- and transport cylinder 143 ; 123 resulting pattern of the extended needles 144 arranged. The pressure cylinder 143 can total against the transport cylinder 123 be resiliently mounted, wherein a minimum torque by possibly existing wrap and / or the pulse when penetrating the strand 135 Must be taken into account.

In a variant according to 23 finds the Andrückzylinder 143 Use in conjunction with a two-piece cutting cylinder 127 , Insbesonde Here are two strand bundles 135 in the circumferential direction of the transport cylinder 123 one after the other on this led. Each of these bundles of strands 135 is through a pressure cylinder 143 in the manner described above to the transport cylinder 123 pressed. In contrast to 22 entwine the strand bundles 135 here the respective pressure cylinder 143 slightly and do not run before touching the latter on the transport cylinder 123 on. Allow the spatial conditions - possibly additional pulleys -, so can advantageously a running of the strand 135 or the strand bundle on the transport cylinder 123 again before the beginning of the puncture by the needles 144 and the placement of the pressure element 146 after emergence of the strand 135 on the transport cylinder 123 but before the beginning of the puncture by the needles 144 respectively.
