Description

Printing method of direct platemaking machine based on double acousto-optic modulator
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of direct platemaking machines, and particularly relates to a printing method of a direct platemaking machine based on a double-sound-light modulator.
Background
Computer-to-plate (CTP) machines are generally divided into four general categories, inner drum, outer drum, flat plate, and curved. Of these four types, the most used are inner and outer drums; wherein, the high-grade CTP platemaking machine with better performance adopts an external drum type. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in an external drum platemaking system, printing plate 3 is fixed to the outside of imaging drum 2, and as imaging drum 2 rotates in the circumferential direction at a speed of several hundred revolutions per minute, printing plate 3 rotates with imaging drum 2 at the same speed. At the same time, the laser light emitted from the optical print head 1 irradiates the printing plate, and the optical print head 1 moves along the rail 10, thereby completing the scanning of the printing plate 3. In general, to improve the production efficiency, a plurality of laser beams are often used for scanning.
CTP platemaking machines are also classified into various types according to printing plate materials, wherein the equipment for printing flexographic plates is called a flexographic plate making machine, the resolution of which is also required to be above 5080DPI, the printing breadth of the flexographic plate making machine is larger, the laser printing power is higher, the thickness of the plate material is thicker than 0.27mm of the traditional offset printing, and the thickness of the plate material is about 0.9mm to 4 mm. The printing power of a flexographic plate making machine is about an order of magnitude higher than that of a standard offset printing CTP equipment plate, an industrial fiber laser with hundreds of watts is used for carrying out multi-channel spectral modulation on a light beam of the industrial fiber laser, and an acousto-optic modulator is usually adopted as a multi-channel spectral device.
The acousto-optic modulator uses an ultrasonic transducer to generate ultrasonic waves, the ultrasonic waves pass through the acousto-optic crystal, the refractive indexes of the crystal at the wave crest and the wave trough are different, so that the acousto-optic crystal becomes a phase grating, and a laser beam passes through the phase grating to be diffracted, thereby realizing the modulation of the laser beam, and further forming a plurality of fine light spots on the printing plate. The response speed of the acousto-optic modulator modulating light beam depends on the time of the ultrasonic wave passing through the whole light beam diameter, so that the finer the laser beam passing through the acousto-optic modulator, the faster the speed of the acousto-optic modulator modulating the switching laser beam. For high power lasers, a finer laser beam means a higher laser energy density and the acousto-optic crystal will not withstand the laser power, so the thickness of the laser beam needs to be a reasonable value. Besides a special polarization-preserving laser, the laser beam output by the industrial fiber laser is randomly polarized laser whether in a single mode or in a multimode mode. When the acousto-optic modulator performs spectral modulation, the bragg diffraction is adopted, so that the modulated light beam can be effectively linearly polarized light with proper polarization direction, for randomly polarized laser, a polarization spectroscope is needed to be used for reflecting half of the laser, and the rest half of the linearly polarized laser is used for spectral modulation printing, so that the optical system of the optical printing head 1 of the conventional CTP platemaking machine at present is shown in the figure 3 and comprises the polarization spectroscope 4, the acousto-optic modulator 5 and the imaging unit 6 which are sequentially arranged on a laser light path.
The optical system of the CTP platemaking machine needs to reflect half laser, however, the soft plate printing resolution is very high, the laser needs to use a pure single-mode laser, the high-power single-mode laser is high in cost, and the quality of the light beam is more difficult to make, so that if all the energy of the randomly polarized laser beam can be used, the use efficiency of the laser is doubled, and the requirement on the power of the laser is correspondingly reduced.
