Method for checking the quality of flat workpieces and device for carrying out said method
First Claim
1. A method for checking the quality of workpieces processed by a printing or a diecutting machine which produces workpieces of at least one type, the method comprising:
- registering each of the types of workpieces in a pile of the workpieces;
infeeding a register parameter corresponding to a selected number of workpieces in the pile;
loading at least one pile of the workpieces in an infeed station for checking the quality of the workpieces;
conveying at least one workpiece of the one pile at the infeed station through a registering area and scanning the printing or diecutting quality of the registered workpiece, at the registering area, defining which of the different types of the workpieces to which the workpiece being scanned is most closely related;
scanning the workpiece for possible printing or diecutting defects in the registered workpiece;
stripping any registered workpiece which has printing or diecutting defects that are scanned so that they are not piled in a delivery station;
piling the workpieces that have not been stripped into a new pile in a delivery station.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for checking the quality of blanks processed with a machine processing blanks of at least a certain type, comprising: carrying out a registering for said possible blank types, feeding a register parameter (n) defining a required number of blanks per pile, loading a pile of blanks into a device, conveying the blanks of the pile throughout a registering area ensuring the scanning of the printing and/or diecutting quality of said blanks, defining which type the registered blank is the better related, stripping the blank if it has printing and/or diecutting defects, and piling up the registered blanks that were not stripped so as to pile up a new pile until it comprises n blanks, and repeating the steps, and apparatus for the foregoing.

9. Apparatus for checking the quality of workpieces comprising:
-
a printing or diecutting machine for workpieces including at least one type of workpiece; an infeed station for feeding the workpieces to the printing or diecutting machine; a registering area for registering the different types of workpieces in the pile of workpieces in the infeed station; apparatus for scanning the workpieces and for registering a parameter related to a required number of workpieces per pile; after the infeed station, a registering area for scanning the printing and diecutting quality of the registered workpieces in the registering area and for defining which one of the types of workpieces that the registered workpieces is most related to; a scanner for scanning possible printing and diecutting defects in the registered workpiece; a stripper for stripping those registered workpieces which have printing or diecutting defects detected and stripping them away from the path of the workpieces, a delivery station for receiving a pile of the workpieces that have not been stripped; and a conveyor for conveying the workpieces from the infeed station past the infeed area, past the scanning device, past the registering area, past the station at which detected defective workpieces are stripped, and to the delivery stations. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
