Abstract

Several guide channels (6, 7) for respectively one paper web are arranged in a fan shape, these channels being oriented toward the nip (5) of a pair of feed rolls (1) of a printing device (2, 3) and each being equipped with a gripper (8, 9). In the rest position, each gripper (8, 9) is in contact with a web of paper, and the free ends of the paper webs have a spacing from the nip (5). The gripper (9) for the paper web to be printed advances the latter until it has entered the nip (5) of the rotating pair of rolls (1), then releases the web, and initially remains in its position (8). The pair of rolls (1) further conveys the paper web first into its printing position, after the printing step into its cutting position, and after cutting again in the reverse direction. Before the paper web leaves the nip (5), the gripper (8) engages once more and returns into its rest position (9), entraining the paper web, so that the end of the latter, produced by the cutting step, assumes the position occupied by its previous free end prior to the advancement of the grippers. In this way, it is possible to print in any desired sequence onto various paper webs and also directly in succession onto one and the same paper web.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Druckmaschine mit einem Eingangswalzenpaar zum Fördern einer stückwise zu bedruckenden Druckmaterialbahn, einer Druckvorrichtung une einer Abschneidevorrichtung für das bedruckte Bahnstück.The invention relates to a printing press with a pair of input rollers for conveying a printing material web to be printed piece by piece, a printing device and a cutting device for the printed web piece.

Durch die im Anspruch 1 angegebene Erfindung wird die Aufgabe gelöst, eine Druckmaschine dieser Art zu schaffen, mit der auf eine wählbare von mehreren Druckmaterialbahnen gedruckt werden kann, wobei diese Bahnen beispielsweise verschieden breit, verschiedenfarbig oder mit verschiedenen Vordrucken versehen sein können. Vorteiltafte Ausführungsformen dieser Maschine sind Gegenstand der Ansprüche 2 und 3. Die Weiterbildung der Erfindung nach dem Patentanspruch 5 ermöglicht es, die Führungskanäle für eine relativ grosse Anzahl Druckmaterialbahnen verhältnismässig dicht nebeneinander anzuordnen, indem wenig Raum beanspruchende Greifer als Fördervorrichtung dienen, deren Greif-und Lösebewegung durch praktisch keinen Raum einnehmende Mittel gesteuert sind. Die Ansprüche 6-9 geben vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen dieser Greifer und die Ansprüche 10 und 11 geben Weiterbildungen der Fördervorrichtung an.By the invention specified in claim 1, the object is achieved to provide a printing press of this type, with which printing can be carried out on a selectable one of a plurality of printing material webs, these webs being able, for example, to have different widths, different colors or different forms. Advantageous embodiments of this machine are the subject of claims 2 and 3. The development of the invention according to claim 5 makes it possible to arrange the guide channels relatively closely next to one another for a relatively large number of printing material webs, since grippers which take up little space serve as conveying devices, their gripping and releasing movement are controlled by means that occupy practically no space. Claims 6-9 give advantageous embodiments of these grippers and claims 10 and 11 indicate further developments of the conveyor device.

Im folgenden wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes anhand der beiliegenden schematischen Zeichnungen näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine vereinfachte schematische Seitenansicht einer Druckmaschine, mit der wahlweise, in beliebiger Reihenfolge, jeweils auf eine von sieben Druckmaterialbahnen gedruckt und das bedruckte Bahnstück abgeschnitten werden kann,
  • Fig. 2 einen Schnitt nach der Linie 11-11 in Fig. 1,
  • Fig. 3 eine Seitenansicht eines Greifers,
  • Fig. 4 einen Schnitt nach der Linie IV-IV in Fig. 2, in grösserem Massstab,
  • Fig. 5 einen Schnitt nach der Linie V-V in Fig. 2, in grösserem Massstab, und
  • Fig. 6 eine teilweise Ansicht in Richtung des Pfeiles VI in Fig. 1.
An exemplary embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings. Show it:
  • 1 is a simplified schematic side view of a printing press, with which, optionally, in any order, in each case printed on one of seven printing material webs and the printed web piece can be cut off,
  • 2 shows a section along the line 11 -.. 11 in Fig 1,
  • 3 is a side view of a gripper,
  • 4 shows a section along the line IV-IV in FIG. 2, on a larger scale,
  • Fig. 5 is a section along the line VV in Fig. 2, on a larger scale, and
  • 6 is a partial view in the direction of arrow VI in FIG. 1st

In Fig. 1 bezeichnet 1 das Eingangswalzenpaar, 2 den Nadelkopf und 3 den Druckalken der Druckvorrichtung, 4 die Messerklinge, die mit einem am Druckbalken gebildeten Gegenmesser die Abschneidevorrichtung der als Nadeldrucker ausgeführten Druckmaschine bildet. Der Nadelkopf 2 ist quer zur Zeichenebene verschiebbar angetrieben, wie beispielsweise in der europäischen Patentanmeldung Nr. 80101133.9 beschrieben. Die Messerklinge 4 kann wie in der europäischen Patentanmeldung Nr. 80101205.5 beschrieben, angetrieben und der nicht dargestelle Farbbandtransport kann wie in der europäischen Patentanmeldung Nr. 80101248.5 beschrieben, ausgeführt sein. Die bekannten Nadeldrucker dieser Art arbeiten zum Bedrucken von Stücken ein und derselben Papierbahn so, dass die Eingangswalzen 1 die zu bedruckende Papierbahn in ihre Druckposition, gegebenenfalls zum zeilenweisen Bedrucken in mehrere Druckpositionen nacheinander, verschiebt, nach dem Bedrucken in die Abschneideposition weiterschiebt und nach dem Abschneiden des bedruckten Papierstücks in die Druckposition, gegebenenfalls in die erste Druckposition, zurückschiebt. Bei der vorliegenden Maschine arbeitet der Nadeldrucker 1-4 im wesentlichen ebenso, aber mit dem Unterschied, dass das Walzenpaar 1 die Papierbahn nach dem Abscheiden nicht in die Druckposition sondern, wie weiter unten erläutert, weiter zurückschiebt, nämlich bis zum Verlassen des Klemmspaltes 5 der Walzen 1, und dass die Papierbahn vor jedem Druckvorgang zwischen die Walzen 1 eingeführt und von diesen in die Druckposition, gegebenenfalls die erste Druckposition, vorgeschoben wird.In Fig. 1, 1 denotes the pair of input rollers, 2 the needle head and 3 the pressure bar of the printing device, 4 the knife blade, which forms the cutting device of the printing machine designed as a needle printer with a counter knife formed on the pressure bar. The needle head 2 is driven to be displaceable transversely to the plane of the drawing, as described, for example, in European Patent Application No. 80101133.9. The knife blade 4 can be driven as described in European Patent Application No. 80101205.5 and the ribbon transport (not shown) can be carried out as described in European Patent Application No. 80101248.5. The known dot matrix printers of this type work for printing on pieces of one and the same paper web so that the input rollers 1 move the paper web to be printed into its printing position, optionally for line-by-line printing in several printing positions one after the other, after the printing pushes it into the cutting position and after the cutting of the printed piece of paper in the printing position, possibly in the first printing position. In the present machine, the dot matrix printer 1-4 works essentially the same, but with the difference that the pair of rollers 1 does not push the paper web back into the printing position after separation, but, as explained further below, pushes it further back, namely until it leaves the nip 5 Rollers 1, and that the paper web is inserted between the rollers 1 before each printing operation and is advanced by them into the printing position, possibly the first printing position.

Für sieben wahlweise in beliebiger Reihenfolge zu bedruckende Papierbahnen sind siehen flache, je zwischen zwei parallelen Kanalwänden gebildete Führungskanäle, von denen zwei mit 6 und 7 bezeichnet sind, fächerförmig angeordnet und auf die der Druckvorrichtung 2,3 abgewandte Seite des Klemmspaltes 5 gerichtet. Zur seitlichen Führung jeder Papierbahn sind zwischen den Kanalwänden jedes Führungskanals zwei Führungen angeordnet, die durch in Löcher der Kanalwände greifende Nasen gehalten sind. Zur Anpassung an verscheidene Papierbandbreiten sind mehrere Lochreihen vorgesehen, vergl. die Kanalwand 61 des Kanals 6, die Führungen 62 mit den Nasen 63 und die Lochreihen 64 in Fig. 2.For seven paper webs optionally to be printed in any order, see flat guide channels, each formed between two parallel channel walls, two of which are labeled 6 and 7, arranged in a fan shape and directed toward the side of the clamping gap 5 facing away from the printing device 2, 3. For the lateral guidance of each paper web, two guides are arranged between the channel walls of each guide channel and are held by lugs which engage in holes in the channel walls. To accommodate different paper tape widths, several rows of holes are provided, see the channel wall 61 of the channel 6, the guides 62 with the lugs 63 and the rows of holes 64 in FIG. 2.

Um mit einem Kleinen Winkel zwischen benachbarten Kanälen auszukommen und dadurch innerhalb eines gegebenen Winkels möglichst viele Führungskanäle unterzubringen, sind nach Fig. 1 nur die äussersten und zwei der dazwischen liegenden Kanalwände bis an das dem Klemmspalt 5 benachbarte Ende der Kanalanordnung erstreckt und die anderen kürzer ausgeführt, wobei benachbarte Kanäle ineinander münden. Nicht dargestellte plan-parallele Distanzstücke zwischen den beiden Kanalwänden jedes Führungskanals und nicht dargestellte abgestumpt keilförmige Distanzstücke zwischen benachbarten Führungskanälen sowie geeignete Verbindungsmittal halten die Kanalanordnung zusammen.In order to get by with a small angle between adjacent channels and thereby accommodate as many guide channels as possible within a given angle, according to FIG. 1 only the outermost and two of the intermediate channel walls extend to the end of the channel arrangement adjacent to the clamping gap 5 and the others are shorter , with adjacent channels opening into each other. Not shown plane-parallel spacers between the two channel walls of each guide channel and not shown blunted wedge-shaped spacers between adjacent guide channels and suitable connecting means hold the channel arrangement together.

Dem Führungskanal 6 ist ein Greifer 8, dem Führungskanal 7 ist ein gleicher Greifer 9 un den weiteren Führungskanälen ist je ein weiterer, gleicher Greifer zum Vorschieben und Zurückschieben der im betreffenden Kanal geführten Papierbahn zugeordnet. Diese Papierbahnen sind in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellt. In Fig. 4 und 5 ist die Papierbahn im Führungskanal 6 mit 11, im Führungskanal 7 mit 12 bezeichnet. Jeder Greifer ist, wie weiter untern im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 2-5 näher beschrieben, ausgeführt und mittels einer Antriebsvorrichtung längs eines Vorschub-und Rückschubweges verschiebbar, der sich über einen dem Klemmspalt 5 abgewandten Teil des zugeordneten Kanals erstreckt, bei allen Kanälen gleich liegt, und annähernd dem Abstand entspricht, den die fächerförmige Anordnung der Kanäle vom Klemmspalt 5 hat. In Fig. 1,2,4 und 5 ist der Greifer 8 am Ende des Vorschubweges (d.i. der Anfang des Rückschubweges), und der Greifer 9 am Anfang des Vorschubweges, (d.i. das Ende des Rückschubweges). Die Greifer sind, wie im Zusammenhang mit Fig. 4 und 5 erläutert wird, so gesteuert, dass einem Endteil des Vorschubweges die Lösebewegung des Greifers, dem damit zusammenfallenden Anfangsteil des Rückzugweges dementsprechend die Greifbewegung des Greifers und dem restlichen Teil des Vorschub- und Rückschubweges die Greifposition des Greifers zugeordnet ist.The guide channel 6 is a gripper 8, the guide channel 7 is the same gripper 9 and the other guide channels are each assigned another, same gripper for advancing and pushing back the paper web guided in the relevant channel. These paper webs are not shown in Fig. 1. 4 and 5, the paper web in the guide channel 6 with 11, in the guide channel 7 with 12. As described further below in connection with FIGS. 2-5, each gripper is designed and can be displaced by means of a drive device along a feed and return path which extends over a part of the assigned channel facing away from the clamping gap 5 and is the same for all channels , and approximately corresponds to the distance that the fan-shaped arrangement of the channels from the clamping gap 5. 1, 2, 4 and 5 is the gripper 8 at the end of the feed path (ie the start of the feed path), and the gripper 9 at the start of the feed path (ie the end of the feed path). The grippers are, as will be explained in connection with FIGS. 4 and 5, controlled in such a way that an end part of the feed path, the release movement of the gripper, the coinciding initial part of the retraction path, accordingly the gripping movement of the gripper and the remaining part of the feed and return path Gripping position of the gripper is assigned.

Die Antreibsgeschwindigkeit und -richtung jedes Greifers ist längs des ganzen Vor- und Rückschubweges der Umfangsgeschwindigkeit und Drehrichung des Walzenpaares 1 angepasst. Grundsätzlich genügt es, wenn unmittelbar vor und während des Lösens des Greifers dessen Geschwindigkeit gleich oder wenig grösser sowie während und unmittelbar nach der Greifbewegung die Geschwindigkeit des Greifers gleich oder etwas kleiner als die des Walzenpaares ist. Im Ruhezustand der Druckmaschine haben die freien Enden der Papierbahnen alle denselben Abstand vom Klemmspalt 5. Dieser Abstand ist etwas kleiner als der Vorund Rückschubweg der Greifer, und jeder Greifer ist in der in Fig. 1 für den Greifer 9 dargestellten Ruhestellung, in der er in Greifposition ist, er greift also an der Papierbahn an und hält sie fest.The driving speed and direction of each gripper is adapted to the circumferential speed and direction of rotation of the pair of rollers 1 along the entire feed and return path. In principle, it is sufficient if, immediately before and during the loosening of the gripper, its speed is the same or slightly greater and during and immediately after the gripping movement the speed of the gripper is equal to or slightly less than that of the pair of rollers. In the idle state of the printing press, the free ends of the paper webs are all at the same distance from the nip 5. This distance is somewhat smaller than the feed and return path of the grippers, and each gripper is in the rest position shown in FIG. 1 for the gripper 9, in which it is in Gripping position is, so he grabs the paper web and holds it.

Wenn auf eine Papierbahn gedruckt werden soll, wird der Greifer, der dieser Papierbahn bzw. deren Führungskanal zugeordnet ist, vorgeschoben, wobei er die Papierbahn mitnimmt. Wenn der Greifer sich dem Ende seines Vorschubweges nähert, gelangt die Papierbahn in den Klemmspalt 5 des Walzenpaares 1, kurz danach führt der Greifer seine Lösenbewegung aus, er bleibt in dieser Stellung, und das Walzenpaar 1 schiebt das Papierband vorwärts in die Druckposition, in der es bedruckt wird, und weiter in die Abschneideposition, in der es abgeschnitten wird, und daraufhin rückwärts. Kurz bevor die rückwärts geschobene Papierbahn den Klemmspalt 5 des Walzenpaares 1 verlässt, beginnt der Greifer seine Rückenschubbewegung, wobei er zuerst seine Greifbewegung ausführt und danach die Papierbahn mitnimmt, die den Klemmspalt 5 des Walzenpaares 1 verlässt. Am Ende des Rückschubweges ist der Greifer wieder in seiner Ruhelage und das durch das Abschneiden des bedruckten Stückes der Papierbahn gebildete freie Papierbahnende ist wieder in der Lage, die das vor dem Abschneiden vorhanden gewesene Ende vor dem ganzen Vorgang hatte. Dies ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass der Greifervorschub kurz nach dem Einlaufen des ursprünglichen Papierbahnendes in den Klemmspalt 5 endete, der Rückschubweg kurz vor dem Herauslaufen des neuen Papierbahnendes aus dem Klemmspalt begann, und der Vorschubweg gleich dem Rückschubweg ist. Der Antrieb des Greifers und der Walzen erfolgt durch Schrittmotoren, da diese für bestimmte Drehungen genau steuerbar sind. Die erforderlichen Drehungen der Walzen ergeben sich aus den Abständen des Klammspaltes von der Druckstelle und der Abschneidestelle. Durch die angegebene Bemessung der Vor- und Rückschubgeschwindigkeit des Greifers wird erreicht, dass die Papierbahn weder gestaucht nach gezerrt wird, wenn sie vorübergehend sowohl vom Greifer als auch vom Walzenpaar gefördert wird.If printing is to be carried out on a paper web, the gripper which is assigned to this paper web or its guide channel is advanced, taking the paper web with it. When the gripper approaches the end of its feed path, the paper web enters the nip 5 of the pair of rollers 1, shortly thereafter the gripper performs its release movement, it remains in this position, and the pair of rollers 1 pushes the paper tape forward into the printing position in which it is printed, and further to the cut-off position in which it is cut, and then backwards. Shortly before the paper web pushed backwards leaves the nip 5 of the pair of rollers 1, the gripper begins its back-thrust movement, first carrying out its gripping movement and then taking the paper web with it, which leaves the nip 5 of the pair of rollers 1. At the end of the return path, the gripper is again in its rest position and the free end of the paper web formed by cutting off the printed piece of the paper web is in a position which the end that was present before the cutting had before the whole process. This is due to the fact that the gripper feed ended shortly after the original paper web end had entered the nip 5, the feed path started shortly before the new paper web end came out of the nip, and the feed path is equal to the feed path. The gripper and rollers are driven by stepper motors, as these can be precisely controlled for certain rotations. The required rotations of the rollers result from the distances of the gap between the pressure point and the cutting point. The specified dimensioning of the feed and return speeds of the gripper ensures that the paper web is neither compressed nor pulled when it is temporarily conveyed by both the gripper and the pair of rollers.

Jeder Greifer hat, wie Fig. 2-5 an Beispiel des Greifers 8 und teilweise auch für den Greifer 9 zeigen, zwei Federblechstreifen 81 bzw. 91, die an ihren Enden durch Distanzstücke in einem Abstand voneinander gehalten, anschliessend einander zugewandt gekröpft sind und zur Mitte hin divergieren. Die Federbleckstreifen 81 des Greifers 8 sind an der Aussenseite der Kanalwände 61 des zugeordneten Führungskanals 6 angeordnet, und ihre Kröpfungen sind an diesen geführt. Entsprechendes gilt für die anderen Greifer. An der Innenseite der Federblechstreifen 81 bzw. 91 ist je eine Greifbacke 82 bzw. 92 zweier Greifbackenpaare und je ein Nocken 83 bzw. 93 einse zwischen den Greifbackenpaaren 82 bzw. 92 angeordneten Nockenpaares befestigt. Die Greifbacken 82 und 92 greifen je durch eine Oeffnung 65 bzw. 75 in den Kanalwänden 61 und 71 und die Nocken 83 bzw. 93 greifen je durch eine Oeffnung 66 bzw. 76 der Kanalwände 61 bzw. 71 hindurch. Diese Oeffnungen sind zur Ermöglichung der Vorund Rückschubbewegung des Greifers 8 bzw. 9 als Langlöcher ausgebildet. Die Federbleckstreifen 81 bzw. 91 sind so vorgespannt, dass die Greifbacken 82 bzw. 92 im Ruhezustand des Greifers 8 bzw.9 zusammengepresst sind, und die Nocken 83 bzw. 93 einander (und auch die Papierbahn) nicht berühren, so dass die Federkraft der Federbleckstreifen 81 bzw. 91 vollständig auf die Greifbacken wirkt. Damit die Greifbackenpaare 82 bzw. 92 zuverlässig kraftschlüssig an der Papierbahn 11 bzw. 12 im Kanal 6 bzw. 7 angreifen, bestehen sie aus einem Material (Kunststoff) mit hohem Reibungskoeffizienten. Dagenen bestehen die Nocken 83 bzw. 93 aus einem Material (einen anderen Kunststoff) hoher Gleitfähigkeit, damit sie leicht auf ihnen zugeordneten Steuerflächen gleiten, wie im folgenden beschrieben.Each gripper has, as shown in Fig. 2-5 on the example of the gripper 8 and partially also for the gripper 9, two spring sheet strips 81 and 91, which are held at their ends by spacers at a distance from each other, then cranked towards each other and for Diverging towards the middle. The spring sheet strips 81 of the gripper 8 are arranged on the outside of the channel walls 61 of the associated guide channel 6, and their cranks are guided thereon. The same applies to the other grippers. On the inside of the spring metal strips 81 and 91, one gripping jaw 82 or 92 of two pairs of gripping jaws and one cam 83 or 93 each are attached to one pair of cams arranged between the gripping jaw pairs 82 and 92, respectively. The gripping jaws 82 and 92 each grip through an opening 65 and 75 in the channel walls 61 and 71 and the cams 83 and 93 each grip through an opening 66 and 76 of the channel walls 61 and 71, respectively. These openings are designed as elongated holes to enable the gripper 8 or 9 to move forward and backward. The spring sheet strips 81 and 91 are pretensioned such that the gripping jaws 82 and 92 are pressed together when the gripper 8 or 9 is at rest, and the cams 83 and 93 do not touch each other (and also the paper web), so that the spring force of the Spring sheet strips 81 and 91 act completely on the gripping jaws. So that the pairs of gripping jaws 82 and 92 reliably grip the paper web 11 and 12 in channels 6 and 7, they consist of a material (plastic) with a high coefficient of friction. The cams 83 and 93 are made of a material (another plastic) with high sliding properties so that they slide easily on the control surfaces assigned to them, as described below.

Die Nocken 83 und 93 der Greifer 8 und 9 laufen bei deren Lösebewegung und Greifbewegung auf Steuerflächen 67 bzw. 77, die an keilförmigen Ausbuchtunden 68 bzw. 78 der Kanalwände 61 und 71 gebildet sind. Im übrigen ragen di Nocken 83 und 93 durch die Langlöcher 66 bzw. 76 in den Kanalwänden 61 bzw. 71 hindurch. Diese Langlöcher 66 und 76 sind aber kürzer als die Langlöcher 65 und 75, in die die Greifbacken 82 und 92 hineinragen, weil die Nocken 83 und 93 am Ende des Vorschub- und Anfang des Rückschubweges auf den Steuerflächen 67 und 77 gleiten.The cams 83 and 93 of the grippers 8 and 9 run on their release movement and gripping movement on control surfaces 67 and 77, which are formed on wedge-shaped bulge 68 and 78 of the channel walls 61 and 71. Otherwise, the cams 83 and 93 protrude through the elongated holes 66 and 76 in the channel walls 61 and 71, respectively. However, these elongated holes 66 and 76 are shorter than the elongated holes 65 and 75 into which the gripping jaws 82 and 92 protrude, because the cams 83 and 93 slide on the control surfaces 67 and 77 at the end of the feed and start of the return path.

In Fig. 1,2,4 und 5 ist der Greifer 8 am Ende des Vorschubweges und seine Nocken 83 sind auf die Steuerflächen 67 aufgelaufen, so dass seine Greifbacken 82 von der Papierbahn 11 abgehoben sind. Damit kann diese (11)-wie oben beschrieben-vom Walzenpaar 1 weiter vorgeschoben und nach dem Druck- und dem Abschneidevorgang wieder zurückgeschoben werden. Wenn der Greifer 8 danach seine Rückschubbewegung ausführt, laufen die Nocken 83 von den Steuerflächen 67 ab. wodurch die Greifbewegung bewirkt und die Papierbahn 11 von den Greifbacken 82 erfasst und auf dem Rückschubweg des Greifers 8 zurückgeschoben wird, bis der Greifer 8 die Stellung hat, in welcher der Greifer 8 dargestellt ist. Dabei bleibt die Papierbahn 11 festgehalten. Wenn der Greifer 9 vorgeschoben wird, nimmt er die zwischen seinen Greifbacken 92 festgeklemmte Papierbahn 12 mit, bis seine Nocken 93 auf die Steuerflächen 77 laufen. Der Greifer 9 kommt dann in die Lage und in den Zustand, in dem der Greifer 9 dargestellt ist, und es gilt das dazu Gesagte.1, 2, 4 and 5, the gripper 8 is at the end of the feed path and its cams 83 have run onto the control surfaces 67, so that its gripping jaws 82 are lifted off the paper web 11. So this (11) - as above described - advanced by the pair of rollers 1 and pushed back after the printing and cutting process. When the gripper 8 then executes its push-back movement, the cams 83 run off the control surfaces 67. whereby the gripping movement causes and the paper web 11 is gripped by the gripping jaws 82 and pushed back on the return path of the gripper 8 until the gripper 8 has the position in which the gripper 8 is shown. The paper web 11 remains held. When the gripper 9 is advanced, it takes the paper web 12 clamped between its gripping jaws 92 until its cams 93 run onto the control surfaces 77. The gripper 9 then comes into the position and in the state in which the gripper 9 is shown, and what has been said about this applies.

Zum Antrieb in Vor- und Rückschubrichtung ist jeder Greifer sowohl mit einem Paar Zugfedern, die in Rückschubrichtung wirken, als auch mit einer Seilwinde verbunden, die gegen die Zugfedern wirkt, wie in Fig. 1 und 6 sowie am Beispiel des Greifers 8 und teilweise für den Greifer 9 auch in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist. So ist der Greifer 8 mit einem Zufederpaar 84, das ortsfest abgestützt ist, und mit einem Paar dehnungsfester Seile 85 verbunden. Die entsprechenden Seile des Greifers 9 sind in Fig. 1 und 2 mit 95 bezeichnet. In Fig. 1 ist das dort sichtbare Seil des Paares 85 nur teilweise dargestellt. Jedes Seil 85 bzw. 95 läuft über eine frei drehbare Umlenkrolle 86 bzw. 96 zu einer Seilscheibe 87 bzw. 97, an der das Seilende befestigt ist. Die Seilscheiben jedes Paares 87 bzw. 97 sitzen fest auf einer Welle 88 bzw. 98, deren Drehung durch nicht dargestellte Anschläge in der der Zugrichtung der Federn, z.B. 84, entspechender Richtung beschränkt ist, wodurch die Ruhelage der Greifer 8 und 9 definiert ist. Auf jeder Welle 88 und 98 sitzt ein Kupplungsglied 89a bzw. 99a einer formschlüssigen elektromagnetisch schaltbaren Kupplung, deren anderes Kupplungsglied 89b bzw. 99b dreh- und verschiebbar auf der Welle 88 bzw. 98 gelagert ist. Die Kupplungsglieder 89b und 99b haben eine sinnbildlich dargestellte Aussenverzahnung, die auch bei axialer Verschiebung des Kupplungsgliedes mit einem Zahnrad 13 bzw. 14 eines sinnbildlich dargestellten Zahnradvorgeleges 15 kämmt, das von einem Schrittmotor 16 angetrieben ist, und die Kupplungsglieder 89b und 99b sowie die diesen entsprechenden weiteren Kupplungsglieder gemeinsam antreibt, wodurch aber jeweils nur die Welle angetrieben wird, deren Kupplung eingerückt ist. Dabei ist der Schrittmotor 16 so gesteuert, dass die Drehung dem Greifervor- bzw. -rückschubweg entspricht. Zur Vermeidung von fringen für die Stromzufuhr zu den die Erregerwicklung tragenden Gliedern, z.B. 89a, 99a, der Kupplungen ist deren elektrische Anschlussleitung, z.B. 89c, 99c, mit soviel Spiel um die betreffende Welle, z.B. 88, 98, gewickelt, dass diese sich ungehindert entsprechend der Vor- und Rückschubbewegung des Greifers drehen kann.For driving in the feed and return directions, each gripper is connected both to a pair of tension springs, which act in the return direction, and to a cable winch, which acts against the tension springs, as in FIGS. 1 and 6 and using the example of the gripper 8 and partly for the gripper 9 is also shown in Fig. 2. Thus, the gripper 8 is connected to a pair of spring springs 84, which are supported in a stationary manner, and to a pair of stretch-resistant cables 85. The corresponding ropes of the gripper 9 are designated by 95 in FIGS. 1 and 2. In Fig. 1 the rope of the pair 85 visible there is only partially shown. Each rope 85 or 95 runs via a freely rotatable deflection roller 86 or 96 to a rope sheave 87 or 97 to which the rope end is attached. The sheaves of each pair 87 and 97 are fixed on a shaft 88 and 98, the rotation of which by stops, not shown, in the direction of pull of the springs, e.g. 84, corresponding direction is limited, whereby the rest position of the grippers 8 and 9 is defined. On each shaft 88 and 98 there is a coupling member 89a or 99a of a positive-locking electromagnetically switchable coupling, the other coupling member 89b or 99b of which is rotatably and displaceably mounted on the shaft 88 or 98. The coupling members 89b and 99b have a symbolically illustrated external toothing, which meshes with a gear 13 or 14 of a symbolically illustrated gear train 15, which is driven by a stepper motor 16, and the coupling elements 89b and 99b and the corresponding ones, even when the coupling member is axially displaced drives further coupling members together, but this only drives the shaft whose clutch is engaged. The stepper motor 16 is controlled in such a way that the rotation corresponds to the gripper feed or feed path. To avoid fringe for the power supply to the elements supporting the excitation winding, e.g. 89a, 99a, of the couplings is their electrical connection line, e.g. 89c, 99c, with so much play around the wave in question, e.g. 88, 98, that this can rotate freely according to the forward and backward movement of the gripper.

Die ganze Maschine ist durch eine nicht dargestellte elektronische Programmsteuereinrichtung gesteuert, die jeweils das Einrücken der Kupplung (z.B. 89a/89b) auslöst, die dem Greifer (z.B. 8) des Führungskanals (z.B. 6) für die gewählte Papierbahn (z.B. 11) zugeordnet ist, den Antrieb des Schrittmotors 16 und des Walzenpaares 1 sowie den Druck- und den Abschneidevorgang steuert. Obwohl der das Walzenpaar 1 antreibende (nicht dargestellte) Schrittmotor genau gemäss den durch das Walzenpaar auszuführenden Vor- und Rückschubstrecken steuerbar ist, wird der Vorschub, durch den die Papierbahn in die Druckposition, gegebenfalls in die erste von mehreren Druckpositionen, kommt, nicht durch eine entsprechend bemessene Drehung der Walzen 1 bemessen, sondern dann beendet, wenn eine Lichtschranke 17 (Fig. 1) auf das freie Papierbahnende anspricht. Dadurch wird während jedes Programmes einmal eine ganz bestimmte Lage des Papierbahnendes in der Maschine sichergestellt und verhindert, dass durch Zufälligkeiten bedingte, einzeln unwesentliche Vor- oder Rückschubfehler sich von Druckvorgang zu Druckvorgang addieren und schliesslich zu grösseren Positionierungsfehlern führen. Eine weitere, nicht dargestellte Lichtschranke ist vor dem Walzenpaar angeordnet, sie arbeitet mit der Steuereinrichtung zusammen, um ein Signal auszulösen, wenn eine Papierbahn aufgebrucht ist.The entire machine is controlled by an electronic program control device (not shown), which in each case triggers the engagement of the clutch (for example 89a / 89b) which is assigned to the gripper (for example 8) of the guide channel (for example 6) for the selected paper web (for example 11), controls the drive of the stepper motor 16 and the pair of rollers 1 and the printing and cutting process. Although the stepping motor (not shown) driving the pair of rollers 1 can be controlled precisely according to the feed and return paths to be carried out by the pair of rollers, the feed through which the paper web comes into the printing position, possibly into the first of several printing positions, is not through one accordingly dimensioned rotation of the rollers 1, but then ends when a light barrier 17 (FIG. 1) responds to the free end of the paper web. As a result, a very specific position of the end of the paper web in the machine is ensured once during each program and prevents randomly caused, individually insignificant advancement or retraction errors from adding up from printing operation to printing operation and ultimately leading to larger positioning errors. Another light barrier, not shown, is arranged in front of the pair of rollers; it works together with the control device to trigger a signal when a paper web has been used up.
