Method for creating a fold preparation pattern, computer for implementing the method and system having the computer

摘要

A method for creating a fold preparation pattern includes supplying job-specific signature characteristics to a computer and determining job-specific cutting requirements by using general cutting requirements assigned to respective general signature characteristics in the computer and using the job-specific signature characteristics. The computer accesses a database that contains cutting, trimming, and clipping patterns and compiles job-specific fold preparation patterns in accordance with the job-specific cutting requirements. A computer for implementing the method and a system having the computer are also provided.

1. A method for creating a digital fold preparation pattern, the method comprising the following steps:
assigning at least one of cutting, trimming or clipping patterns in accurate positions to a plurality of paper sheet signatures defining a thickness of a product, by: supplying job-specific paper sheet signature characteristics to a computer, including at least grammage and fold pattern of the paper sheet signature; determining job-specific cutting requirements using general cutting requirements assigned to respective general paper sheet signature characteristics in the computer and using the job-specific paper sheet signature characteristics; and using the computer to access a database containing cutting, trimming and clipping patterns and compile a job-specific digital fold preparation pattern from the cutting, trimming and clipping patterns in accordance with the job-specific cutting requirements for supplying the digital fold preparation pattern to a fold preparation device to prepare a paper sheet signature for folding the plurality of paper sheet signatures defining the thickness of the product in a folding machine.
