Method for equipping a material web processing machine, apparatus for processing a material web with a material web processing machine, arrangement comprising an apparatus for processing a material web with a material web processing machine and a digital press stage apparatus, and use of an electronic data interface device

Abstract

A method for equipping a material web processing machine to process material webs includes setting the material web processing machine as a function of material web processing-specific parameter data so as to process the respective material web in a job-individual manner with the material web processing machine. The material web processing-specific parameter data is received electronically in an automated manner on the material processing machine by an electronic data interface device and is subsequently provided electronically to a device configured to control and/or regulate the material web processing machine.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for equipping a material web processing machine to process material webs, comprising:
 electronically receiving material web processing-specific parameter data in an automated manner on the material processing machine by an electronic data interface device;   electronically providing the material web processing-specific parameter data to a device configured to control and/or regulate the material web processing machine; and   setting the material web processing machine as a function of the material web processing-specific parameter data so as to process the respective material web in a job-individual manner with the material web processing machine.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein material web processing machine parameters characterizing the web run of one or more of unwinding roll devices, winding roll devices, and controlled or regulated material web pull-roll devices or the like are set by using the material web processing-specific parameter data received electronically. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the material web processing-specific parameter data is provided electronically online to the electronic data interface device in an automated manner via a LAN and/or WLAN connecting device. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the material web processing-specific parameter data is provided electronically to the electronic data interface device as print job workflow data from a digital pre-press apparatus so as to set the material web processing machine by the print job workflow data. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the material web processing-specific parameter data is provided electronically in one or more of a JDF data format and a PPF data format. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the material web processing-specific parameter data is extracted from one or more of a JDF data format and a digital PPF data format by a parsing device. 
     
     
         7 . An apparatus for processing a material web, comprising:
 a material web processing machine;   a device configured to control and/or regulate the material web processing machine; and   an electronic data interface device configured to electronically receive digital pre-press data from a digital press stage apparatus, the electronic data interface device being further configured to electronically provide material web processing-specific parameter data to the device configured to control and/or regulate the material web processing machine.   
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 7 , further comprising a parsing device configured to electronically read the material web processing-specific parameter data from digital print job workflow data. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus according to  claim 7 , wherein the device configured to control and/or regulate the material web processing machine comprises one or more of a Motion Control Unit and a PLC unit configured to interpret the material web processing-specific parameter data electronically. 
     
     
         10 . An arrangement, comprising:
 an apparatus configured to process a material web with a material web processing machine; and   a digital press stage apparatus configured to generate and use digital print job workflow data for processing the material web,   wherein the apparatus configured to process the material web and the digital press stage apparatus are connected electronically to each other by an electronic data interface device in order, by the digital print job workflow data, to provide material web processing-specific parameter data electronically to the apparatus configured to process the material web.
