Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial field of application> In the present invention, a positioning hole is formed in an original film on which a pattern for two pages of facing pages is recorded, and required side portions and pages are separated and cut. After that, the present invention relates to a processing device for a master film that stacks and stores the separated individual films in a two-row state in an order according to a bonding layout.

<Prior art> Conventionally, when proofreading, it is convenient to check the color balance of two-page spreads of printed materials such as books, so that the design of two-page spreads (natural image, line drawing, (Including characters) may be recorded on one original film. FIGS. 18 (a) and 18 (b) are examples of the original film OF in which the two-page spread pattern is recorded.

In such an original plate film OF, after the necessary side portions and pages are separated and cut, each individual film is attached to a predetermined position on the base sheet according to the sticking layout. The pasting layout depends on the binding specifications such as "binding, direction of bag by folding, which is open, and total number of pages". For example, FIG. 19 shows a pasting layout in the case of “Staple Binding, Top Bag, Left Opening, 32 Pages”, and FIGS. 19 (a) and 19 (b) show the front and back sides of a printed book. The same applies to (c) and (d) of FIG. First
19 Numbers in the figure indicate page numbers. Such printed books are folded as shown in Fig. 20, and signatures SG ₁ and SG ₂
The pages are arranged in numerical order by overlapping and binding.

As shown in FIG. 18, a register mark RM, which serves as a positioning mark when it is attached to the base sheet, is attached to the peripheral portion of the original film OF. Conventionally, the register mark RM and the alignment mark on the base sheet are visually aligned and the individual films are pasted, but the side edges of the original film and each page are separated and cut. And, since only one or two register marks RM are left on the individual film after cutting, it is difficult to perform alignment using these register marks RM,
There is a problem that the accuracy of the sticking position becomes poor.

Also, as can be understood from the pasting layout shown in FIG. 19, the individual films forming the two-page spread are
Since they are not necessarily adjacent to each other in the sticking layout, the work of rearranging the individual films in a predetermined order is performed after cutting the original film for convenience of the sticking work. However, the order of such rearrangement varies depending on the bookbinding specifications, so it is necessary to confirm the paste layout each time. Therefore, there is a problem in that the work efficiency is low, and if there is an error in the sequence, a sticking error occurs.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and even if the register mark disappears by separating and cutting the side portion of the original film on which the pattern for two pages of the spread is recorded and each page, It is an object of the present invention to provide an original film processing apparatus that does not hinder the alignment at the time of sticking individual films and can rearrange the individual films quickly and accurately according to the sticking layout.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the control system of the processing apparatus according to this embodiment.

Each mechanical unit of this device is connected to the control CPU 80 via the input / output interface I / O. The RAM 81 stores processing information of each original film transmitted from the microcomputer 1, storage information of individual films, and the like. Further, the ROM 82 stores a program of the operation sequence of this device.

Next, the operation of this device will be described with reference to FIG.

[1] First, the operator operates the mouse 3 to input the following information regarding bookbinding specifications to the microcomputer 1.

Number of folds: 8-page fold, 16-page fold, etc. Folding method: Saddle stitch, flat stitch, etc. Opening direction: right open, left open Bag direction: top, ground Total number of pages Page size: A4, B5, etc. Base sheet size: X dimension , Y dimension When the information about the bookbinding specifications as described above is given, the microcomputer 1 selects the paste layout suitable for the above input information from the paste layout data stored in advance and stores it in the CRT 2. indicate. Here, the binding specifications as shown in FIG. 20, that is, "16-page folding, flat binding, left opening, top bag, 32 pages" are given as input information, and the layout as shown in FIG. 19 is obtained. It will be described as selected.

The operator further inputs the register mark RM position of the original film, the position where the positioning hole is drilled, the cutting position, the sticking tape sticking position, and the like while looking at the layout display displayed on the CRT 2. The position of the register mark is inputted by the distance between marks, and when the original film of two pages of spread and the original film of single page are mixed, the position of each register mark is given.

When input information is given and a paste layout is selected, the microcomputer 1 sequentially outputs processing information such as positioning hole opening position information and cutting position information, and storage information regarding the storage order of processed individual films. , CP for control
It is transferred to U80 and these information is stored in RAM81.

[2] When the operator gives an instruction to proceed to the next operation via the operation panel 7, the microcomputer 1 displays the page number of the original film to be processed on the CRT 2. The processing order of the original film is predetermined according to the sticking layout. Since the original film laminating apparatus described below is configured to laminate two individual films, here, as shown in FIGS. 19 (a) and 19 (b), Q ₁ → Q ₂ → Q ₃ → ... → Q ₈ are processed in this order. Therefore, first, “4-5 pages” is displayed on the CRT 2 in order to specify the original film of “4-5 pages” in which “5” pages are recorded. At this time, along with the page number display, a display for allowing the operator to select whether the original film is “two-page configuration” or “single-page configuration” is displayed on the CRT 2.

The operator looks at the CRT2 display and looks at the original film storage
Take out the corresponding original film from 61. At this time, if the original film of the “4” page and the original film of the “5” page are independent original films, the operator specifies “single page configuration” with the mouse 3. "Single page configuration"
When is specified, the CRT2 display changes from "4-5 page" to "5" page. When "2-page structure" is specified, the display of CRT2 is left as it is.

The operator should follow the display on CRT2
The original film taken out from 61 is set on the light table 5. The light table 5 is shown in FIG. 10 (a).
A gauge 5a for alignment is drawn as shown in FIG.
The operator sets the original film OF so that the register mark RM of the original film OF is placed in the gauge 5a as shown in FIG. 10 (b).

[3] When the operator gives an instruction for the next operation via the operation panel 7, the original film set on the processing table 4 is subjected to the positioning, perforating and cutting processes in the following procedure.

First, the film transport mechanism 8 is driven in the X and Y directions so that the suction head 12 faces the center of the original film. Then, the air cylinder 21 is driven to lower the suction head 12 to suck the original film. At this time, the CPU 80 drives the pulse motors 25, 26, 27 based on the position information of the register marks transmitted from the microcomputer 1 so that the optical sensors 22, 23, 24 have a positional relationship of each register of the original film. Each optical sensor 22, 23, 24 is moved so that it becomes the same as that of the mark RM. And each optical sensor 22,2
3, 24, the register mark RM of the original film is detected, and the original film is aligned.

Various methods for aligning the original film have been proposed (for example, JP-A-55-33145 and JP-A-55).
-33146, JP-A-62-206403). In this embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, each optical sensor 22, 23,
24, respectively configured by two optical sensors Sa, Sb arranged orthogonally, so that the difference between the detection means of the optical sensors Sa, Sb becomes zero, in the X, Y direction and the rotation (θ) direction of the original film. The deviation is corrected. For example, Figures 12 (a) and (b)
As shown in, register mark RM and optical sensor Sa, Sb
If the positional relationship between the optical sensor and the optical sensor is deviated, the output of either one of the optical sensors becomes large. Therefore, by relatively moving the original film and the optical sensor, the position as shown in FIG. Relationship, that is, two optical sensors Sa, Sb
The position is corrected so that the outputs of the two match.

Specifically, the alignment in the X direction is performed by detecting the amount of movement of the moving table 9 in the X direction by the optical sensor 24. Positioning in the Y direction is performed by driving the support arm 13 in the Y direction by the pulse motor 15 and detecting by the optical sensors 22 and 23. Positioning in the θ direction is performed by rotationally driving the suction head 12 with the pulse motor 20, and is detected by the optical sensors 22 and 23.

When the alignment of the original film is completed, the suction head 12 is raised and the moving table 9 is driven in the X direction to convey the original film to the punch / cut mechanism 6. Reads the punching position information from RAM81, and based on this, the suction head 12
The punched film is set on the punching mechanism 30 by rotating the supporting film 13 in the Y direction by a required distance by rotating and driving the punching unit on the punching / cutting mechanism 6 side.

When the original film is set, the motor of punch mechanism 30
When 39 is driven one revolution, the punch 34 is pushed down and a positioning hole is opened at a predetermined position of the original film. FIG. 13 (a) shows the original film OF that has been perforated, and the symbol H in the figure is a positioning hole formed in the original film. The shaded area HD is the suction head 12
3 shows a schematic adsorption zone according to FIG.

When the boring process is completed, the suction head 12 is slightly raised, and the suction head 12 is rotated in 90 degree units based on the cutting position information read from the RAM 81, as shown in FIG. 13 (b). The cutting side portion (here, the upper side portion) of the original film OF is set on the cutting mechanism 40 side, and the original film is moved into the cutting mechanism 40. Original film cut mechanism
When it moves to 40, it drives the air cylinder 42 and presses the holding plate.
41 is lowered and the original film is fixed. Then, by driving the motor 50, the upper edge of the original film is cut off by the rotary blade 48.

After cutting the upper side, as shown in FIG. 13 (c),
The suction head 12 is rotated 90 degrees. Then, with the original plate film being pressed by the pressing plate 41, the suction of the suction head 12 is released, and the suction head 12 is raised. Then, the support arm 13 is slightly retracted from the cutting mechanism 40, and then the suction head 12 is lowered to suck one side of the original film as shown in FIG. 13 (d).

After moving the adsorption zone, the support arm 13 is moved to set the central portion of the original film to the cutting mechanism 40,
As shown in FIG. 13 (e), the original film is separated into two individual films by cutting that portion.

In the above description of the operation of punching / cutting processing, since each page constituting the original film “4-5 pages” to be processed is laid out at the end portion on the base sheet, the original film I cut off only the upper edge,
For example, "12", "13", "9", "1" in FIG. 19 (a)
In the case of a film that is laid out in the center as shown on page 6), the side edges as well as the top edge are cut off.
In the case where the original layout films of "8-9 pages" are adjacent to each other in the laminating layout, the central separation and cutting are not performed.

When the original film is punched and cut as described above, the suction of the suction head 12 is released, and then the support arm is released.
13 is retracted, and then the movable table 9 is driven to move the suction head 12
Is returned to the fixed position on the light table 5.

When the processing of the first "4-5 page" original film is completed, the microcomputer 1 records "12" page to be pasted together with the "5" page individual film, "12-13 page". The original film of "is designated and displayed on CRT2. The operator selects "12" from the original film storage unit 61.
Take out the original film on page -13 and apply the same processing to the original film. Hereinafter, the microcomputer 1 is referred to as “8-9 page” → “32-1 page” → “16-17 page” → “6-7 page” → “10-11”.
Specify the original film in the order of "Page" → "Page 2-3" → "Page 14-15", and punch and cut in that order.

[4] The storage display of the separated individual films will be described below with reference to FIG.

When the base sheet BS is adsorbed, the base sheet carrier 106 rises, and then the pedestal 104 is attached to the table 107.
The base sheet BS is placed on the sticking table 107 so that the positioning hole of the base sheet BS is inserted into the positioning pin 108 of the sticking table 107. When the base sheet BS is placed, the suction mechanism of the sticking table 107 operates to hold the base sheet BS.

Next, the gantry 104 moves to the cassette mount 101,
The sticking head 105 is located above the cassette 70.
Then, as shown in FIG. 16, the sticking head 105 descends to simultaneously adsorb two individual films OFL and OFR positioned in two rows in the cassette 70. When the two individual films are adsorbed, the sticking head 105 moves up to convey the two individual films to the adhesive tape sticking section 109. Then, the tape adhering position of each individual film is set by rotating the tape adhering head 105 in 90 units based on the tape adhering position data read from the RAM. Then, the adhesive tape attaching section 109 is driven to attach the double-sided adhesive tape to a predetermined side portion of each individual film.

Two individual films with adhesive tape attached are RA
Based on the paste position data read from M, it is moved to a predetermined position on the paste table 107.
Then, the sticking head 105 is rotationally driven in 90 degree units in accordance with the sticking direction of the original film and set in a predetermined sticking direction. Subsequently, the sticking head 105 descends, and the two individual films are stuck at the same position on the base sheet BS at the same time.

By repeating the above operation, the cassette
The individual films, which are positioned and stored in 70, are sequentially attached to the base sheet from the top. FIG. 17 shows a state in which the individual film is attached to the base sheet BS in this way. First, as shown in FIG. 17 (a), _two individual films of each page are laminated on the base sheet BS ₁ in the order of P ₁ → P ₂ → P ₃ → P ₄ .

When the sticking to the base sheet BS ₁ is completed, the sticking table 107 is released from the suction, the base sheet BS ₁ is sucked and held by the base sheet carrier 106, and is conveyed to the base sheet discharging unit 103 side. At this time, the base sheet discharging unit 103 is descending, and the conveyed base sheet BS ₁ is stored in the base sheet discharging unit 103.

Next, a new base sheet BS ₂ is taken out, and on this base sheet BS ₂ , as shown in FIG. 17 (b), P ₅ → P
Two individual films for each page are attached in the order of ₆ → P ₇ → P ₈ .

The present invention can be modified as follows.

For example, in the embodiment, the operator sets the original film on the light table 5 of the original film processing apparatus, but an original film setting mechanism may be provided to automatically perform the setting.

Further, the position and pitch of the positioning holes formed in the original film may be changed according to the size of the original film.

Further, the display for instructing the storage / removal of individual films is not limited to that in the embodiment, and the storage location of each individual film may be displayed on the CRT 2, for example.

Further, in the embodiment, the microcomputer 1 is configured to transmit the information such as the sticking layout to the film sticking apparatus, but the information may be separately input to the film sticking apparatus.

<Effects of the Invention> As is apparent from the above description, according to the processing apparatus for a master film according to the present invention, the master film is punched / cut based on the processing information transmitted from the data creating means. After that, since each individual film is positioned and stored with reference to the hole for alignment, even if the register mark of the original film is cut off along with the sides, the original film can be pasted onto the base sheet with high accuracy. it can.

In addition, after separating and cutting the original film on which the two-page spread pattern is recorded, each individual film is positioned and stored. When the individual films are positioned and stored, the cut individual films are temporarily stored or positioned according to the sticking layout according to the plate making specifications. Since the positions are displayed and the operator is instructed in the order of storage, the rearrangement work of the individual films can be performed smoothly and accurately.
