Abstract
This invention relates to a method for the production of blanks made of cardboard or of cardboard-like material and a device suitable for it. An integrated plotter module by which the individual workpieces are positioned in the longitudinal direction by the transfer drive is an important feature.
Claims8
Method for production of cut-outs (1) for forming structures from cardboard-like materials, wherein flat workpieces (2) are shaped by at least one of longitudinal and transverse machine lines formed by at least one of cutting, scoring, perforating, punching, and folding lines to form a layout (50) of a cardboard structure to be manufactured;
- and formed by other machining lines (5) that run neither exclusively in the longitudinal direction nor exclusively in the transverse direction, wherein the longitudinal direction is defined by a transfer drive (6) by means of which the workpieces (2) are transported through individual machining steps (7a, b, c) of processing machines, and wherein other machining lines (5) that run neither exclusively in the longitudinal direction nor exclusively in the transverse direction, are generated by a plotter device (8) parallel to the workpiece (2) to be machined and movable relative to a plane thereof, whose working head (9) can travel at a given distance from the workpiece (2) only in the transverse direction (10) to any point on the other machining line (5) and can be activated to process at any point, and in an activated state is driven along the particular other machining line with controlled advance only in the transverse direction (10), the workpiece (2) at the same time being positioned in the longitudinal direction by means of a transfer drive (11) for machining relative to the working head (9) of the plotter device (8).
Device for production of cut-outs of cardboard-like material, the device comprising individual machining modules (17a, b, c) selecting from cutting, scoring, perforating, punching, and folding modules, arranged successively in a direction of machining of a workpiece (2), and with a transfer drive to transport the workpiece between an intake station (18) into the machine and the subsequent machining modules (17a, b, c), wherein at least one plotter module (19) is provided at which the workpiece (2) is controlled in position in the longitudinal direction of the production process by the transfer drive (11) of a processing machine, both forward and backward, and at the same time depending on the particular velocity transverse (10) to the longitudinal direction of a machining tool (20), that can travel in the plotter module (19) transverse to the longitudinal direction (12).
