[coating]

When carrying out coating, operating personnel are installed to (referring to Figure 1A) on the painting drum 41 with coated panel 44.Operating personnel also will be coated with/and mold pressing selector switch 4 switches to coated side.

In this case, when impressing start signal when being input to the spreader control device 100A from printing machine control device 200 (step S113 is a "Yes"), CPU1 reads the preset condition (the step S114 among Fig. 4 B) of coating/mold pressing selector switch 4.CPU1 confirms that coating/mold pressing selector switch 4 is switched to coated side (step S115 is a "Yes"), and reads and be used for the tabulation (step S116) that type and thickness conversion with paper become the coating clearance between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

CPU1 reads the type (step S117) of paper and read the thickness (step S118) of paper from memory M2 from memory M1.Utilization is used for the type of paper and thickness conversion are become the tabulation (it is read at step S116) of the coating clearance between painting drum and the impression cylinder, CPU1 obtains the coating clearance hc between painting drum and the impression cylinder from the sheet type that reads and thickness among step S117 and S118, and store the gap hc that is obtained among the memory M8 (step S119).

Then, CPU1 touches edition air cylinder valve of roller On/Off 18 output activation signals (step S120) to spreader and touches an edition roller On/Off inflator 19 to activate spreader, so spreader touches edition roller 42 and contacts with painting drum 41.In addition, CPU1 sends varnish to container spreader control device 300 and supplies with initiating signal (step S121) to start the varnish supply to container spreader 43.

CPU1 reads the coating clearance hc (step S122) between painting drum and the impression cylinder from memory M8, calculate the objective count value that is used to detect the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder from the painting drum and the coating clearance hc between the impression cylinder that read, and with the value storage of being calculated (step S123) in memory M9.CPU1 reads the counting of the counter 16 of the currency that is used to detect the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, the counting that reads is used as current counting stores (step S124) among the memory M10 into, and read the counting that is used to detect the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder (step S125) that is stored among the memory M9, and current counting and object count are compared (the step S126 among Fig. 4 C) as object count.

If current counting is less than object count (step S127 is a "Yes"), then CPU1 determine between painting drum and the impression cylinder when anterior diastema h greater than the target coating clearance hc between painting drum and the impression cylinder, direction of rotation memory M11 is rewritten as " 0 " (step S128), and sends a clockwise direction rotate instruction to be used to adjust the gap (step S129) between painting drum and the impression cylinder to motor driver 14.Therefore, the motor 15 that is used to adjust the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder rotates in the direction of the clock, so the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder reduces.

In contrast, if current counting is greater than object count (step S127 is a "No"), then CPU1 determine between painting drum and the impression cylinder when anterior diastema h less than the target gap hc between painting drum and the impression cylinder, so direction of rotation memory M11 is rewritten as " 1 " (step S130), and to motor driver 14 send one counterclockwise rotary pulsed output order be used to adjust gap (S131) between painting drum and the impression cylinder.Therefore, the motor 15 that is used to adjust the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder is by rotation counterclockwise, and the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder increases.

The counting (current counting) that CPU1 reads counter 16 is used to detect the currency (step S132) of the continuous variation in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and itself and the object count that is stored among the memory M9 are compared (step S133 and S134).If current counting equals object count (step S134 is a "Yes"), then CPU1 reads the value (step S135) among the direction of rotation memory M11.If the value among the direction of rotation memory M11 is " 0 " (the step S136 among Fig. 4 D is a "Yes"), then CPU1 clockwise direction rotate instruction (step S137) from the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder to motor driver 14 output that stop to be used to adjust is to stop to be used to adjusting the rotation of the motor 15 in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder.If the counting among the direction of rotation memory M11 is " 1 " (step S136 is a "No"), then CPU1 counter clockwise direction rotate instruction (step S138) from the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder to motor driver 14 output that stop to be used to adjust is to stop to be used to adjusting the rotation of the motor 15 in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder.Therefore, the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder equals the target coating clearance hc between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

CPU1 checks the existence whether (step S139) of input of the impression shutdown signal of printing machine control device 200.During this was checked, impression cylinder 40, painting drum 41 and spreader touched edition roller 42 and are rotated further.Therefore, the varnish from the supply coated panel 44 of container spreader 43 is coated onto by on the paper in the gap between painting drum 41 and the impression cylinder 40 (printing paper).If current counting is consistent with object count in step S126, then program can not advance to step S127 but directly advance to step S139.

[coating EO]

When printing with coating finishes and printing machine control device 200 when having sent the impression shutdown signal (step S139 is a "Yes"), CPU1 sends varnish to container spreader control device 300 and supplies with stop signals (step S140) to stop to container spreader 43 supply varnish.CPU1 also touches edition roller On/Off air cylinder valve 18 output separate signal (step S141) to spreader, touches an edition roller On/Off inflator 19 to activate spreader, so spreader touches edition roller 42 from painting drum 41 separately.

Then, CPU1 sends the counter clockwise direction rotate instruction (step S142) that is used to adjust the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder to motor driver 14, thereby the gap of counterclockwise adjusting between painting drum and the impression cylinder with rotary electric machine in the counterclockwise direction 15, so the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder has increased.

During thereby motor 15 counterclockwise rotates the gap of adjusting between painting drum and the impression cylinder, CPU1 reads the current counting (step S143) of the counter 16 that is used to detect the gap currency between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and described current counting and the counting (described counting reads from memory M12) that is used for detecting the separated position between painting drum and the impression cylinder are compared (step S144 and S145).If current counting equals to be used to detect the counting (step S145 is a "Yes") of separated position, then CPU1 stops to be used to adjust to motor driver 14 output the instruction (step S146) of the counter clockwise direction rotation in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, to stop to be used to adjusting the rotation of the motor 15 in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

Therefore, painting drum 41 separates from impression cylinder 40, and utilizes spreader to come the EO of coated printing paper.

[mold pressing]

When carrying out the mold pressing operation, the operator replaces coated panel 44 to be installed in (referring to Figure 1B) on the painting drum 41 embossing plate 45.Mold pressing packing material 46 is inserted between embossing plate 45 and the painting drum 41.Coating/mold pressing selector switch 4 switches to the mold pressing seal.

In this state, when printing machine control device 200 during to spreader control device 100A input mold pressing start signal (the step S113 among Fig. 4 A is a "Yes"), then CPU1 reads the preset condition (the step S114 among Fig. 4 B) of coating/mold pressing selector switch 4.CPU1 determines that coating/mold pressing selector switch 4 is switched to mold pressing side (step S115 is a "No"), and reads from memory M13 that to be used for sheet type and thickness conversion be the tabulation (the step S147 of Fig. 4 E) in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

Then, CPU1 reads the type (step S148) of paper and read the thickness (step S149) of paper from memory M2 from memory M1.Utilization is used for sheet type and thickness conversion are become the tabulation (it is read at step S147) in the mold pressing gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, CPU1 obtains reference mold pressing gap hr between painting drum and the impression cylinder from the sheet type that reads and thickness among step S148 and S149, and is stored to (step S150) among the memory M14.

Then, CPU1 reads the tabulation (step S151) that is used for type and thickness conversion with embossing plate and is the corrected value in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, reads embossing plate type (step S152) and read the thickness (step S153) of embossing plate from memory M4 from memory M3 from memory M15.Utilization is used for the type of embossing plate and thickness conversion are become the tabulation (it is read at step S151) of the corrected value in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, CPU1 obtains first correction value alpha 1 in the mold pressing gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder from the type and the thickness of the embossing plate that reads among step S152 and S153, and is stored to (step S154) among the memory M16.

CPU1 also reads the tabulation (step S155) that is used for type and thickness conversion with the mold pressing packing material and is the corrected value in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, reads mold pressing packing material type (step S156) and read the thickness (step S157) of mold pressing packing material from memory M6 from memory M5 from memory M17.Utilization is used for the type of mold pressing packing material and thickness conversion are become the tabulation (it is read at step S155) of the corrected value in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, CPU1 obtains second correction value alpha 2 in the mold pressing gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder from the type and the thickness of the mold pressing packing material that reads among step S156 and S157, and is stored to (step S158) among the memory M18.

CPU1 deducts the painting drum that obtains and second correction value alpha 2 in first correction value alpha 1 in the mold pressing gap between the impression cylinder and painting drum that obtains and the mold pressing gap between the impression cylinder in step S158 in step S154 from the painting drum that obtains and the reference mold pressing gap hr between the impression cylinder among step S150, obtaining the mold pressing gap he (he=hr-α 1-α 2) between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and store described mold pressing gap among the memory M19 (the step S159 among Fig. 4 F).

Then, CPU1 sends varnish to container spreader control device 300 and supplies with stop signal (step S160) to stop to container spreader 43 supply varnish.CPU1 also touches edition roller On/Off air cylinder valve 18 output separate signal (step S161) to spreader and touches an edition roller On/Off inflator 19 to activate spreader, is separated from painting drum 41 so spreader touches edition roller 42.

CPU1 also reads the mold pressing gap he (step S162) between painting drum and the impression cylinder from memory M19, calculate the desired value that is used to detect gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder from the painting drum that reads and the mold pressing gap he between the impression cylinder, and store described desired value among the memory M9 (step S163).CPU1 reads the current counting (step S164) of the counter 16 of the currency that is used to detect the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, from memory M9, read the counting that is used to detect the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder (step S165) of being used as object count, and current counting and object count are compared (the step S166 among Fig. 4 G).

If current counting is less than object count (step S167 is a "Yes"), then CPU1 determine between painting drum and the impression cylinder when anterior diastema h greater than the target mold pressing gap he between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and direction of rotation memory M11 is rewritten as " 0 " (step S168), and send a clockwise direction rotate instruction to be used to adjust the gap (step S169) between painting drum and the impression cylinder to motor driver 14.Therefore, the motor 15 that is used to adjust the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder rotates in the direction of the clock to reduce the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

Opposite with this, if current counting is greater than object count (step S167 is a "No"), then CPU1 determine between painting drum and the impression cylinder when anterior diastema h less than the target mold pressing gap he between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and direction of rotation memory M11 is rewritten as " 1 " (step S170), and send counterclockwise rotate instructions to be used to adjust the gap (step S171) between painting drum and the impression cylinder to motor driver 14.Therefore, be used to adjust motor 15 rotation counterclockwise in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder to increase the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

CPU1 reads the current counting (step S172) of the counter 16 of the currency that is used to detect the gap that constantly changes between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and itself and the object count that is stored among the memory M9 are compared (step S173 and S174).If current counting equals object count (step S174 is a "Yes"), then CPU1 reads the value (step S175) of direction of rotation memory M11.If the value of direction of rotation memory M11 is " 0 " (the step S176 among Fig. 4 H is a "Yes"), then CPU1 stops to be used to adjust to motor driver 15 output the clockwise direction rotate instruction (step S177) in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, to stop to be used to adjusting the rotation of the motor 15 in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder.If the counting of direction of rotation memory M11 is " 1 " (step S176 is a "No"), then CPU1 stops to be used to adjust to motor driver 14 output the counter clockwise direction rotate instruction (step S178) in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, to stop to be used to adjusting the rotation of the motor 15 in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder.Therefore, the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder equals the target mold pressing gap he between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

CPU1 checks from the existence of the input of the impression shutdown signal of printing machine control device 200 whether (step S179).During this was checked, impression cylinder 40 and painting drum 41 were rotated further.Therefore, as embossing plate 45 mold pressings of mould by the paper (printing paper) between painting drum 41 and the impression cylinder 40.In step S166, if current counting is consistent with object count, then program can not advance to step S167 and directly advance to step S179.

[the mold pressing operation is finished]

When finishing printing and impression and during from printing machine control device 200 output impression shutdown signals (step S179 is a "Yes"), CPU1 sends the counter clockwise direction rotate instruction (step S180) that is used to adjust the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder to motor driver 14, thereby with the gap between counter clockwise direction rotary electric machine 15 adjustment painting drums and the impression cylinder, thereby the gap h between increase painting drum and the impression cylinder.

During thereby motor 15 counterclockwise rotates the gap of adjusting between painting drum and the impression cylinder, CPU1 reads the currency (step S181) of the counter 16 of the currency that is used to detect the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and with described currency and the counting that is used to detect the separated position between painting drum and the impression cylinder compare, described counting reads (step S182 and S183) from memory M12.If current counting equals to be used to detect the counting (step S183 is a "Yes") of separated position, then CPU1 stops to be used to adjust to motor driver 14 output the instruction (step S184) of the counter clockwise direction rotation in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, to stop to be used to adjusting the rotation of the motor 15 in the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

Therefore, painting drum 41 separates from impression cylinder 40, and finishes to utilize spreader to come the operation of mold pressing printing paper.

In contrast, be not equal to 0 (step S315 is a "No") if be used to adjust the amount of movement Δ M of the stepper motor in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, but satisfy Δ M＜0 (step S316 is a "No"), then determine between painting drum and the impression cylinder when anterior diastema h less than the target coating clearance hc between painting drum and the impression cylinder.Then, CPU1 obtains the absolute value of amount of movement Δ M and is stored to (step S319) the memory M22 from amount of movement Δ M, and to being used to adjust the pulse output order (step S320) of stepper motor driver 22 transmissions one in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to the counter clockwise direction rotation of the absolute value of amount of movement Δ M.Therefore, the stepper motor 23 that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder is by rotation counterclockwise, and the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder increases.

CPU1 reads the current counting (step S321) of the counter 24 of the currency that is used to detect the gap that constantly changes between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and itself and the object count that is stored among the memory M9 are compared (step S322 and S323).When definite current counting equals object count (step S323 is a "Yes"), program advances to step S324 (Figure 11 C).Therefore, the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder equals the target coating clearance hc between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

CPU1 checks the existence whether (step S324) of the impression shutdown signal of printing machine control device 200 inputs.In addition, in step S335 (Figure 11 D), CPU1 checks that the gap be used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder adjusts the state of selector switch 32.During this was checked, impression cylinder 40, painting drum 41 and spreader touched edition roller 42 and are rotated further.Therefore, be applied to by on the paper (printing paper) between painting drum 41 and the impression cylinder 40, and described paper is sent in subsequently the sheet delivery from container spreader 43 and the varnish that offers coated panel 44.In step S315, be 0 if be used to adjust the amount of movement Δ M of the stepper motor in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, then program can not advance to step S316 and directly advance to step S324.

[instruction of the coating clearance between painting drum and the impression cylinder]

Operating personnel extract the state that scribbles the paper of varnish and check the varnish coating out.According to described inspection, if operating personnel determine to adjust between painting drum and the impression cylinder as anterior diastema hc, then he opens the gap that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder and adjusts selector switch 32 and operate rising button 34 or decline button 35.

Adjust selector switch 32 and close (step S335 is that "Yes" and step S336 are "No") when adjusting end switch 33 when opening the gap that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, if open rising button 34 (step S337 is a "Yes"), then CPU1 exports reset signal and initiating signals (step S338) to internal counter 36, and stops to export reset signal (step S339) then.Therefore, internal counter 36 begins from 0 counting, and connection (ON) time of the button 34 that therefore rises is measured with the counting as internal counter 36.When rising button 34 cuts out (step S340 is a "Yes"), when definite decline button 35 cuts out (OFF) (step S345 is a "No"), program turns back to step S336 and thinks that adjusting the open operation of finishing switch 33, rising button 34 and decline button 35 prepares.

The turn-on time of metering rising button 34, CPU1 reads the stand-by period TA (step S341) from the output order of memory M23, and reads the counting (step S342) of internal counter 36.When the counting of internal counter 36 surpasses stand-by period TA (step S343 is a "Yes"), CPU1 is to being used to adjust stepper motor driver 22 outputs in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to the rotary pulsed output order of the clockwise direction of 1 pulse (step S344).Therefore, the stepper motor 23 that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder turns over the quantity corresponding to 1 pulse in the direction of the clock, and the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder reduces the quantity corresponding to 1 pulse.

At CPU1 behind the right handed pulse output order of stepper motor driver 22 outputs that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to 1 pulse, program turns back to step S338, and so CPU1 counts (step S339) to open internal counter 36 since 0 to internal counter transmission reset signal and initiating signal.Like this, when rising button 34 is opened, whenever through described stand-by period TA the time, just to being used to adjust stepper motor driver 22 outputs in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to the rotary pulsed output order of the clockwise direction of 1 pulse, therefore the stepper motor 23 that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder turns over the quantity corresponding to 1 pulse in the direction of the clock, thereby makes gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder reduce quantity corresponding to 1 pulse.

When opening the gap that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder when adjusting selector switch 32 (step S335 is a "Yes"), open decline button 35 (step s S345 is a "Yes"), then CPU1 exports reset signal and initiating signals (step S346) to internal counter 36, and stops to export reset signal (step S347) then.Therefore, internal counter 36 begins from 0 counting, and with measured counting as internal counter 36 turn-on time of decline button 35.When decline button 35 cuts out (step S348 is a "Yes"), determining under the situation that rising button 34 and decline button 35 are closed (step S337 and S345 are "No") that program turns back to step S336 and thinks that adjusting the open operation of finishing switch 33, rising button 34 and decline button 35 prepares.

The turn-on time of metering decline button 35, CPU1 reads the stand-by period TA (step S349) from the output order of memory M23, and reads the counting (step S350) of internal counter 36.When the counting of internal counter 36 surpasses stand-by period TA (step S351 is a "Yes"), CPU1 is to being used to adjust the pulse output order (step S352) that counterclockwise rotate of stepper motor driver 22 outputs in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to 1 pulse.Therefore, the stepper motor 23 that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder is by the quantity that counterclockwise turns over corresponding to 1 pulse, and the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder increases the quantity corresponding to 1 pulse.

At CPU1 behind the pulse output order of stepper motor driver 22 outputs that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to a rotation counterclockwise of 1 pulse, program turns back to step S346, and so CPU1 counts (step S347) to open internal counter 36 since 0 to internal counter transmission reset signal and initiating signal (step S346).Therefore, when decline button 35 is opened, whenever through described stand-by period TA the time, just to being used to adjust the pulse output order that counterclockwise rotate of stepper motor driver 22 outputs in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to 1 pulse, therefore the stepper motor 23 that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder is by the anticlockwise quantity that turns over corresponding to 1 pulse, thereby makes gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder increase quantity corresponding to 1 pulse.

After the gap of manually adjusting in such a way between painting drum and the impression cylinder, operating personnel open to adjust and finish switch 33.Then, CPU1 check to adjust finish switch 33 open (step S336 is a "Yes"), read the counter 24 that is used for detecting the currency in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder counting (step S353), obtain between painting drum and the impression cylinder adjusted gap hc and its instruction value as the coating clearance hc between painting drum and the impression cylinder re-writed memory M8 (step S354) from the counting of the counter 24 that is used to detect the currency in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder.Then, program turns back to step S324 (Figure 11 C).

[coating EO]

When printing with coating finishes and printing machine control device 200 when having sent the impression shutdown signal (the step S324 among Figure 11 C is a "Yes"), then CPU1 sends a varnish to container spreader control device 300 and supplies with stop signals (step S325) to stop to container spreader 43 supply varnish.CPU1 also touches edition roller On/Off air cylinder valve 18 transmission one separate signal (step S326) to spreader and separates from painting drum 41 spreader is touched edition roller 42.

Then, CPU1 reads the counting (step S327) that is used to detect the separated position between painting drum and the impression cylinder from memory M12, read the current counting (step S328) of the counter 24 that is used to detect the currency in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, detect from separated position and to deduct current counting the counting obtaining to be used to adjust the amount of movement Δ M of the stepper motor in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and store described amount of movement Δ M among the memory M21 (step S329).CPU1 also obtains the absolute value of amount of movement Δ M and is stored to (step S330) the memory M22 from amount of movement Δ M, and to being used to adjust the pulse output order (step S331) of stepper motor driver 22 transmissions one in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to the counter clockwise direction rotation of the absolute value of amount of movement Δ M.Therefore, be used to adjust the stepper motor 23 in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder by counterclockwise rotating to increase the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

CPU1 reads the current counting (step S332) of the counter 24 of the currency that is used to detect the transition gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and with it and the counting (described counting is kept at memory M12) that is used for detecting the separated position between painting drum and the impression cylinder compare (step S333 and S334).When determining that current counting equals to be used to detect the counting of the separated position between painting drum and the impression cylinder (step S334 is a "Yes"), program turns back to step S301 (Figure 11 A).Therefore, painting drum 41 separates from impression cylinder 40, and utilizes spreader to come the operation of coating and printing paper to finish.

[mold pressing]

When carrying out the mold pressing operation, the operator replaces coated panel 44 to be installed in (referring to Figure 1B) on the painting drum 41 embossing plate 45.Mold pressing packing material 46 is inserted between embossing plate 45 and the painting drum 41.In addition, operating personnel also will be coated with/mold pressing selector switch 4 switches to the mold pressing side.

In this case, when impressing start signal when being input to the spreader control device 100C from printing machine control device 200 (the step S306 among Figure 11 A is a "Yes"), CPU1 reads the preset condition (step S307) of coating/mold pressing selector switch 4.When definite coating/mold pressing selector switch 4 switches to the mold pressing side (step S308 is a "No"), CPU1 sends a varnish to container spreader control device 300 and supplies with stop signal (the step S355 among Figure 11 E) to stop to container spreader 43 supply varnish.CPU1 also touches edition roller On/Off air cylinder valve 18 output one separate signal (step S356) to spreader and separates from painting drum 41 spreader is touched edition roller 42.

CPU1 also reads the initial value (step S357) of the mold pressing gap he between painting drum and the impression cylinder from memory M19, calculate the object count that is used to detect the gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder from the painting drum that reads and the mold pressing gap he between the impression cylinder, and store object count among the memory M9 (step S358).CPU1 reads the current counting (step S359) of the counter 24 that is used to detect the currency in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, deduct current counting obtaining to be used to adjust the amount of movement Δ M of the stepper motor in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder from the object count that is used for detecting gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and store described amount of movement Δ M among the memory M21 (step S360).

Satisfy Δ M＞0 (the step S362 of Figure 11 F is a "Yes") if be used for adjusting the amount of movement Δ M of the stepper motor in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, then CPU1 determine between painting drum and the impression cylinder when anterior diastema h greater than the target mold pressing gap he between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and obtain the absolute value of amount of movement Δ M and be stored to (step S363) the memory M22, and send a right handed pulse output order (step S364) that is used for corresponding to the absolute value of amount of movement Δ M to the motor driver 22 of adjusting gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder from described amount of movement Δ M.Therefore, the stepper motor 23 that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder rotates in the direction of the clock to reduce the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

Opposite with this, satisfy Δ M＜0 (step S362 is a "No") if be used to adjust the amount of movement Δ M of the stepper motor in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, then CPU1 determine between painting drum and the impression cylinder when anterior diastema h less than the target mold pressing gap he between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and obtain the absolute value of amount of movement Δ M and be stored to (step S365) the memory M22, and send the pulse output order (step S366) of rotation counterclockwise corresponding to the absolute value of amount of movement Δ M to the motor driver 22 that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder from described amount of movement Δ M.Therefore, be used to adjust the stepper motor 23 in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder by counterclockwise rotating to increase the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

CPU1 reads the current counting (step S367) of the counter 24 of the currency that is used to detect the gap that constantly changes between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and itself and the object count that is stored among the memory M9 are compared (step S368 and S369).When definite current counting equals object count (step S369 is a "Yes"), program advances to step S370 (Figure 11 G).Therefore, the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder equals the target mold pressing gap he between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

CPU1 checks from the existence of the impression shutdown signal of printing machine control device 200 inputs whether (step S370), and checks that in step S379 the gap that is used for gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder adjusts the state (Figure 11 H) of selector switch 32.During this was checked, impression cylinder 40 and painting drum 41 were rotated further.Therefore, be used as embossing plate 45 mold pressings of mould by the paper between painting drum 41 and the impression cylinder 40 (paper that is printed).In step S361, be 0 if be used to adjust the amount of movement Δ M of the stepper motor in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, then program can not advance to step S362 and directly advance to step S370.

[instruction of the mold pressing gap hc between painting drum and the impression cylinder]

Operating personnel extract paper that was molded and the state of checking mold pressing out.According to described inspection, if operating personnel determine adjust the anterior diastema of working as between painting drum and the impression cylinder, then he opens and is used to adjust the gap adjustment selector switch 32 in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder and operate rising button 34 or decline button 35.

When opening the gap that is used for adjusting gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder when adjusting selector switch 32 (the step S379 of Figure 11 H is a "Yes"), if open rising button 34 (step S381 is a "Yes"), then CPU1 is to internal counter 36 output reset signals and initiating signal (step S382) and stop to export reset signal (step S383) then.Therefore, thus internal counter 36 begin from 0 the counting with the measured counting turn-on time of rising button 34 as internal counter 36.When rising button 34 cuts out (step S384 is a "Yes"), when definite decline button 35 cuts out (step S389 is a "No"), program turns back to step S380 and thinks that adjusting the open operation of finishing switch 33, rising button 34 and decline button 35 prepares.

The turn-on time of metering rising button 34, CPU1 reads from the stand-by period TA (step S385) of the output order of memory M23 and reads the counting (step S386) of internal counter 36.When the counting of internal counter 36 surpasses stand-by period TA (step S387 is a "Yes"), CPU1 is to being used to adjust the right handed pulse output order (step S388) of stepper motor driver 22 outputs in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to 1 pulse.Therefore, the stepper motor 23 that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder turns over the quantity corresponding to 1 pulse in the direction of the clock, and the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder reduces the quantity corresponding to 1 pulse.

At CPU1 behind the right handed pulse output order of stepper motor driver 22 outputs that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to 1 pulse, program turns back to step S382, and so CPU1 sends a reset signal and initiating signal to open internal counter 36 since 0 counting (step S383) to internal counter.Therefore, when rising button 34 is opened, whenever through described stand-by period TA the time, just to being used to adjust the right handed pulse output order of stepper motor driver 22 outputs in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to 1 pulse, therefore the stepper motor 23 that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder turns over the quantity corresponding to 1 pulse in the direction of the clock, thereby makes gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder reduce quantity corresponding to 1 pulse.

When opening the gap that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder when adjusting selector switch 32 (step S379 is a "Yes"), under the situation of opening decline button 35 (step S389 is a "Yes"), then CPU1 is to internal counter 36 output reset signals and initiating signal (step S390) and then stop to export reset signal (step S391).Therefore, internal counter 36 begins since 0 counting, and metering turn-on time of decline button 35 is the counting of internal counter 36.When decline button 35 cuts out (step S392 is a "Yes"), when definite rising button 34 and decline button 35 are closed (step S381 and S389 are "No"), program turns back to step S380 and thinks that adjusting the open operation of finishing switch 33, rising button 34 and decline button 35 prepares.

The turn-on time of metering decline button 35, CPU1 reads from the stand-by period TA (step S393) of the output order of memory M23 and reads the counting (step S394) of internal counter 36.When the counting of internal counter 36 surpasses stand-by period TA (step S395 is a "Yes"), CPU1 is to being used to adjust the pulse output order (step S396) that counterclockwise rotate of stepper motor driver 22 outputs in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to 1 pulse.Therefore, the stepper motor 23 that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder is by the quantity that counterclockwise turns over corresponding to 1 pulse, and the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder increases the quantity corresponding to 1 pulse.

At CPU1 behind the pulse output order of stepper motor driver 22 outputs that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to a rotation counterclockwise of 1 pulse, program turns back to step S390, so CPU1 to internal counter send a reset signal and initiating signal so that internal counter 36 since 0 counting (step S391).Therefore, when decline button 35 is opened, when the stand-by period TA that in the memory M23 that associates, reads, just to being used to adjust the pulse output order that counterclockwise rotate of stepper motor driver 22 outputs in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to 1 pulse, therefore the stepper motor 23 that is used to adjust gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder is by the quantity that counterclockwise turns over corresponding to 1 pulse, thereby makes gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder increase quantity corresponding to 1 pulse.

After the gap of manually adjusting in such a way between painting drum and the impression cylinder, operating personnel open to adjust and finish switch 33.Then, CPU1 check open adjust finish switch 33 open (step S380 is a "Yes"), read the counter 24 that is used to detect the currency in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder this moment counting (step S397), obtain between painting drum and the impression cylinder through adjusted gap he from the counting of the counter 24 that is used to detect the currency in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and will re-write (step S398) among the memory M19 as the instruction value of the mold pressing gap he between painting drum and the impression cylinder through adjusted gap he.Then, program turns back to step S370 (Figure 11 G).

[mold pressing EO]

When printing with mold pressing is finished and send one when impressing shutdown signal (the step S370 Figure 11 G is a "Yes") from printing machine control device 200, CPU1 reads the counting (step S371) that is used to detect the separated position between painting drum and the impression cylinder from memory M12, read the current counting (S372) of the counter 24 that is used to detect the currency in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, detect from separated position and to deduct current counting the counting obtaining to be used to adjust the amount of movement Δ M of the stepper motor in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder, and store described amount of movement Δ M among the memory M21 (step S373).CPU1 also obtains the absolute value of amount of movement Δ M and is stored to (step S374) the memory M22 from amount of movement Δ M, and to being used to adjust the pulse output order (step S375) that counterclockwise rotate of stepper motor driver 22 transmissions in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder corresponding to the absolute value of amount of movement Δ M.Therefore, be used to adjust the stepper motor 23 in gap between painting drum and the impression cylinder by counterclockwise rotating to increase the gap h between painting drum and the impression cylinder.

CPU1 reads the current counting (step S376) of the counter 24 of the currency that is used to detect between painting drum and the impression cylinder gap that constantly changes, and with it and the counting (described counting is kept at memory M12) that is used for detecting the separated position between painting drum and the impression cylinder compare (step S377 and S378).When determining that current counting equals to be used to detect the counting of the separated position between painting drum and the impression cylinder (step S378 is a "Yes"), program turns back to step S301 (Figure 11 A).Therefore, painting drum 41 separates from impression cylinder 40, and finishes and utilize spreader to come mold pressing to be printed the operation of paper.
