Definitions

  • the invention relates to a longitudinal folding device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a longitudinal folding device has become known from DE 28 37 392 A1.
  • This longitudinal folding devices is such. B. suitable to produce so-called symmetrical as well as asymmetrical folding products.
  • You then get a longitudinally folded paper strand with two parts of different widths left and right next to the longitudinal fold line ( funnel fold line).
  • the left part is e.g. 1/3 paper web width, the right part 2/3 paper web width.
  • the thus longitudinally folded paper web (s) is cross-folded cross-folded and then longitudinally folded in half in the longitudinal folding device, so-called "third fold” or "second longitudinal fold".
  • the result is a so-called asymmetrical product on a paper web which, after trimming on two edges, consists of four sides on one half and eight sides on the other side.
  • a folding device can be found in DE-AS 12 31 723, in which both folding rollers are each arranged on a pivotable carrying lever. A sliding rod with two inclined surfaces is provided to generate a pivoting movement of the two carrying levers. This enables a simultaneous adjustment of both folding rollers. However, in contrast to the subject of the patent, both folding rollers are moved the same way in the opposite direction. This folding device is therefore only suitable for being able to make a symmetrical folding gap setting.
  • the section to be longitudinally folded is provided with a water track, pre-perforated or grooved along the intended longitudinal fold line.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a longitudinal folding device for so-called asymmetrical, ie. H. to create a different number of sheets with signatures to the left and right of the fold line.

  • the adjustment device described above is also advantageously suitable for automating the folding roller setting process.
  • the operator would only have to enter the paper thickness and the page numbers into a computer.
  • This computer calculates the values by which the spindle 69 has to be rotated and displaced, and outputs these values to a signal amplifier, which each actuates an actuator for displacing or rotating the spindle 69.
  • stepper motors are suitable as actuators.
  • a stepper motor is provided to rotate the spindle 69 and the socket 83.
  • the collar 80 is provided with a ring gear and a pinion is provided instead of the handwheel 93. With the ring gear and the pinion, a pinion of a stepper motor is engaged.
  • the stepper motors then turn the spindle 69 and / or the socket 83.
  • the number of steps carried out can be added up and saved; it is possible at any time to read the current position of the spindle on the display instruments. It is of course necessary to relate the number of pulses (steps) to the position of the folding rollers.
