Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wellpappe-Anlage zum Herstellen von Wellpappe-Bögen. Ferner richtet sich die Erfindung auf ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Wellpappe-Bögen.The invention relates to a corrugated board plant for producing sheets of corrugated board. Furthermore, the invention is directed to a method for producing sheets of corrugated cardboard.

Wellpappe-Anlagen sind aus dem Stand der Technik allgemein bekannt.Corrugated cardboard systems are generally known from the prior art.

Eine aus der gattungsbildenden US 2015/0053349 A1 bekannte Wellpappe-Anlage hat eine Wellpappe-Herstellvorrichtung mit einer CCD-Kamera zum Detektieren von Pressmarken auf einer einseitig kaschierten Wellpappe-Bahn und einer Bild-Bearbeitungseinheit, die einen Abstand zwischen benachbarten Pressmarken detektiert. Eine Querschneidevorrichtung umfasst eine CCD-Kamera, um Pressmarken auf einer beidseitig kaschierten Wellpappe-Bahn zu detektieren, und eine Bild-Bearbeitungseinheit, die imstande ist, eine Position der Pressmarken zu berechnen. Die Querschneidevorrichtung weist außerdem eine Steuereinheit auf, die aktiviert wird, wenn bezüglich einer Schneidposition beziehungsweise Riffelungsspitzenposition der beidseitig kaschierten Wellpappe-Bahn eine der Pressmarken eine Abweichung hat. Falls eine Abweichung einer Schneidposition und einer Riffelungsspitze erkannt wird, ändert die Steuereinheit die Betätigung der Schneidelemente.One of the generic US 2015/0053349 A1 known corrugated board plant has a corrugated board manufacturing device with a CCD camera for detecting press marks on a web of corrugated board laminated on one side and an image processing unit that detects a distance between adjacent press marks. A cross-cutting device comprises a CCD camera to detect press marks on a corrugated board web laminated on both sides, and an image processing unit capable of calculating a position of the press marks. The cross-cutting device also has a control unit that is activated when one of the press marks deviates from a cutting position or corrugation tip position of the web of corrugated board laminated on both sides. If a deviation of a cutting position and a corrugation tip is detected, the control unit changes the actuation of the cutting elements.

Aus der US 2005/0209075 A1 ist eine Anlage zur Herstellung von Wellpappe-Karton-Zuschnitten bekannt. Die Anlage umfasst eine Rotations-Schneidvorrichtung mit paarweise angeordneten Messerwalzen oder einer Messerwalze und einer Gegenwalze. Marken kooperieren mit einem Sensor- und Steuersystem, um ein Druckbild und/oder Markierungen auf einer Außenseite nach Falt- und Schneidvorgängen auszurichten. Dafür sind Sensoren vorhanden, die die Schneidvorrichtung steuern. Detektierte Stellen der Marken werden von dem Steuersystem mit optimalen Stellen verglichen. Sollte eine stromaufwärtige oder stromabwärtige Anordnung der Marken erkannt werden, so werden Schneidelemente entsprechend stromaufwärts oder stromabwärts verlagert.From the U.S. 2005/0209075 A1 a plant for the production of corrugated cardboard blanks is known. The system includes a rotary cutting device with knife rollers arranged in pairs or a knife roller and a counter roller. Brands cooperate with a sensor and control system to align a printed image and/or markings on an outside after folding and cutting operations. There are sensors that control the cutting device. Detected locations of the marks are compared to optimal locations by the control system. Should an upstream or downstream arrangement of the markers be recognized, cutting elements are displaced upstream or downstream accordingly.

Die US 3,058,869 offenbart eine Wellpappe-Anlage, bei der eine Schneidposition nach Enden von jedem Druckbild ausgerichtet wird. Auf eine Außenbahn werden Marken aufgebracht, um die Schneidposition anzugeben. Die Marken werden erfasst und es wird sichergestellt, dass die Schneidpositionen zwischen Druckbilder fallen. Dafür ist die Fördergeschwindigkeit der Wellpappe-Bahn entsprechend veränderbar.The U.S. 3,058,869 discloses a corrugator in which a cutting position is aligned with ends of each printed image. Marks are placed on an outer sheet to indicate the cutting position. The marks are detected and it is ensured that the cutting positions fall between print images. The conveying speed of the web of corrugated board can be changed accordingly for this purpose.

Bei der JP 2002-273800 A werden mittels einer Rotations-Querschneidevorrichtung Wellpappe-Bögen erzeugt. Ein führendes Ende eines Wellpappe-Bogens wird mittels einer Kamera erfasst. Eine positionsbezogene Beziehung zwischen einer aufgedruckten Marke und einem Breiten-Schneidrand wird erhalten.In the JP 2002-273800 A corrugated cardboard sheets are produced by means of a rotary cross-cutting device.
