Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Steuern eines Anlegers einer Sammelheftmaschine. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren anzugeben, welches den Bedienaufwand beim Einstellen des Anlegers verringert, welches die Zuverlässigkeit beim Auflegen von Falzbogen (7-9) auf eine Transportvorrichtung erhöht und welches die Qualität beim Zusammentragen und Heften verbessert. Gemäß der Erfindung werden beim Steuern eines Anlegers einer Sammelheftmaschine die Öffnungs- bzw. Schließzeitpunkte von Greifern (22, 26, 35-37) programmgesteuert, stufenlos und formatabhängig geregelt. Hierzu werden in einer Steuereinrichtung (18) Daten zu den Abmessungen und zur Seitenzahl der Falzbogen eingegeben, aus denen Stellsignale für Stellglieder der Greifer generiert werden.

The invention relates to a method for controlling an investor of a saddle stitching machine. The object of the invention is to provide a method which reduces the operating effort when adjusting the investor, which increases the reliability when placing folded sheets (7-9) on a transport device and which improves the quality of collating and stapling. According to the invention, when controlling an investor of a saddle stitching machine, the opening and closing times of grippers (22, 26, 35-37) are program-controlled, stepless and format-dependent. For this purpose, data relating to the dimensions and the page number of the signatures are entered in a control device (18) from which control signals for actuators of the grippers are generated.
