Description

The invention relates to a printing unit according to the preamble of claims 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 11 and 13.

A four-cylinder printing unit is known from DE 196 03 663 A1, the two co-acting transmission cylinder firmly coupled together, and optionally via the drive of one or both associated forme cylinders or via one with the Motors connectable cross shaft are drivable. In one mode is for Plate change one of the forme cylinders can be stopped while the associated one Transfer cylinder continues synchronously to the second forme cylinder.

Likewise, in DE 197 32 330 A1, a five-cylinder printing unit has one Operating state in which one of the forme cylinders for the purpose of changing plates can be stopped while the assigned transfer cylinder either also is fixed or together with the forme cylinder independently of the other three Cylinders is rotatable.

EP 09 97 273 A2 discloses an operating mode of a four-cylinder printing unit, one Forme cylinder is parked from the other interacting cylinders. The Parked forme cylinder is in one example by a drive motor and in one another example rotatable by an auxiliary motor.

The invention has for its object to provide a printing unit.

The object is achieved by the features of claims 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 11 and 13 solved.  

The advantages that can be achieved with the invention are in particular that a large one Diversity of operations and variability of a printing unit or a cylinder assembly is created.

For example, cylinders or cylinder groups can be with different speeds or directions of rotation move what for example when changing the printing form or blanket, when pulling in a paper web, when inking or washing rollers and cylinders independently. In particular, different set-up actions from standstill (speed Zero) or the production speed of different set-up speed for the individual Cylinder types are next to each other, or with the paper web running or standing possible.

The simultaneous fulfillment of several different ones is particularly advantageous Requirements for different components of a printing unit or a printing unit. The modes of operation contribute on the one hand to saving time and thus to reducing the Unit cost and enables the implementation of different Set-up work at running at production speed or at pull-in speed Paper web. A flying plate change for one- or two-sided imprint operation is possible. For example, a printing form is used in advantageous operating states changed or pre-colored while the assigned transfer cylinder continues rotates at production speed, or a washing, pre-coloring or also the elevator is changed.

An advantageous operating mode in the case of two, one shape and one Pairs having transfer cylinders, the turning is one of the two forme cylinders with a set-up speed, while the remaining cylinders continue with production speed rotate. Also, both transfer cylinders can stand still or at a speed for  feeding a paper web or rotating at production speed while one of the Forme cylinders or both can be colored.

In particular for printing units that have a z. B. executed as a steel cylinder Having counter-pressure cylinders opens up various possibilities for setting up the cylinder without interference, while the paper web for example continues to be printed with production speed (flying plate change / imprint operation), is pulled in at a pull-in speed (start of production) or also stops (Preparation work). This applies to five-cylinder and seven-cylinder printing units and in special dimensions also for nine and ten cylinder printing units. This Printing units together with the modes of operation according to the invention or states a guiding of the paper web at pull-in or production speed, while on the forme and / or transfer cylinders of one or more pairs Setup work, e.g. T. simultaneously, are feasible. The modes of operation also allow the implementation of setup work, e.g. B. washing and / or changing lifts or printing forms, pre-inking or dry-driving, d. H. the decolorization of the Cylinder, with the paper web stopped, and without this being impaired

Also for four-cylinder printing units and especially for two Four-cylinder printing units formed eight-cylinder printing units are particularly in the With regard to the flying plate change or the imprinter functionality diverse Operating conditions advantageous. For example, printing operation can be maintained be, while one or more forme cylinders, with the production speed different speed and z. T. also direction of rotation, is or will be changed.

A y- or λ-shaped six-cylinder printing unit is e.g. B. flexible for the 2/1 continuous printing or also for the flying plate change or in imprint function during 1/1 printing when one of the forme cylinders is at a speed and Direction of rotation for the change is operated while all other cylinders with  Turn production speed. The one assigned to the forme cylinder to be changed Transfer cylinder, for example, is simultaneously with a speed and direction of rotation operated for washing or other preparation. The same applies to one o. g. Seven, nine or ten cylinder printing unit.

Also comes when setting up before starting up or when printing is finished a high level of operating conditions thanks to flexibility and time and waste savings Meaning too. For example, forme cylinder and transfer cylinder can be operated simultaneously go through different setup programs.

In addition to the simultaneous operation with different cylinder speeds and rolling is still the mode of operation with different directions of rotation, and, especially when moving from a rubber-to-steel to a rubber-to-rubber Operation reversible pressure units, the change from a first direction of rotation in one second direction of rotation of great advantage.

An independent operation of the ones assigned to the forme cylinders is also advantageous Rollers for paint application. For example, regardless of the speed and the direction of rotation, washing or pre-inking, while the forme cylinder also undergoes an setup program.

A printing unit of a printing press, in particular a rotary printing press, has a first cylinder 01 , e.g. B. a forme cylinder 01 , and in a pressure-on position cooperating second cylinder 02 , z. B. on a first transfer cylinder 02 of a printing group 03 . The forme cylinder 01 can with a roller 04 , z. An inking roller 04, in particular an inking roller 04 and a grid 04 or anilox roll 04, as act together. The transfer cylinder 02 acts in a printing-on setting with a web 06, for example, a printing material 06, in particular a paper web 06 together.

The forme cylinder 01 can be rotated independently of the transfer cylinder 02 , ie it rotates depending on the operating state, for. T. with different speeds and / or directions of rotation from the transfer cylinder 02 . Likewise, the transfer cylinder 02 rotates z. T. regardless of the forme cylinder 01 .

The forme cylinder 01 can assume one or more of the following operating states: it can be at a standstill, ie rotate at a speed "zero" commercial vehicle, but it can also rotate at a production speed PFZ or a set-up speed RFZ, which is usually from the standstill commercial vehicle and the production speed PFZ is different.

The set-up speed RFZ can in turn be a speed DWFZ for changing the printing form, a speed VEFZ for pre-inking or a speed WFZ for washing. A further set-up speed RFZ can also be a speed TFFZ for dry running, ie the decolorization of the forme cylinder 01 on the web 06 , or a speed EFZ for pulling in the web 06 . In the case of direct imaging of the surface of the forme cylinder 01 or the printing form on the forme cylinder 01 , the set-up speed RFZ can also represent a speed BBFZ for the imaging.

The transfer cylinder 02 can also assume one or more of the following operating states: it can be at a standstill, ie it rotates at a speed of "zero" NÜZ, it can rotate at a production speed PÜZ or a set-up speed RÜZ, which is also usually from standstill Commercial vehicle and the production speed PFZ is different. The set-up speed RÜZ can in turn be a speed AWÜZ for changing the elevator, a speed EÜZ for pulling in a web 06 , a speed WÜZ for washing or a speed VEÜZ for pre-inking the transfer cylinder 02 .

The production speed PFZ for the forme cylinder 01 is z. B. between 20,000 and 50,000 revolutions per hour (U / h), preferably at 35,000 to 45,000 U / h. The production speed PÜZ of the transfer cylinder 02 also between 20,000 and 50,000 U / h, preferably at 35,000 to 45,000 U / h.

The speed VEFZ of the forme cylinder 01 which is characteristic of the pre-inking is, for example, in the range from 6,000 to 12,000 rev / h.

The speed VEÜZ of the transfer cylinder 02 is for example between 6,000 U / h to 12,000 U / h.

For washing the forme cylinder 01 , the speed WFZ is z. B. at 200 to 1,000 U / h, in particular between 300 and 800 U / h, while the speed WÜZ for washing the transfer cylinder 02 z. B can be between 300 and 40,000, in particular between 300 and 6,000, revolutions per hour.

The speed EFZ of the forme cylinder 01 for pulling in the web 06 is, for example, 300 to 2,000 U / h, in particular 300 to 800 U / h, which is approximately a pulling speed for the web 06 of 6 to 30 m / min, in particular 6 to 12 corresponds to m / min.

The rotational speed EÜZ of the transfer cylinder 02 for pulling in the web 06 is, for example, 300 to 2,000 U / h, in particular 300 to 800 U / h, which is approximately a pulling speed for the web 06 of 6 to 30 m / min. corresponds in particular to 6 to 12 m / min.

The speed DWFZ for the automatic change of the printing form can be between 300 U / h and 2,000 U / h, in particular between 300 and 1,000 U / h, with the direction of rotation usually being reversed during the change process. The speed DWFZ can, however. B. in so-called. Jog mode, between 120 and 300 U / h. In direct imaging of the printing form or the cylindrical peripheral surface on the forme cylinder 01, the rotational speed of the forme cylinder 01 FSBC is usually above the production rotational speed PFZ, for example, more than 50,000 U / h, in particular about 70,000 U / h.

For changing the elevator on the transfer cylinder 02 , the speed AWÜZ is between 300 and 2,000 U / h, in particular between 300 and 1,000 U / h. If the elevator change is carried out manually, as is currently preferred, the speed AWÜZ can also be between 120 and 1,000 rev / h.

The speed TFFZ of the forme cylinder 01 for dry running, ie decolorization of the forme cylinder 01 , lies, for. B. between 2,000 and 4,000 U / h.

The speeds mentioned for forme cylinder 01 and transfer cylinder 02 preferably relate to cylinder 01 ; 02 double circumference, ie on cylinder 01 ; 02 , on the circumference of which two printing forms can be attached one behind the other in the circumferential direction. The scopes for this depend on the format and are e.g. B. between 900 mm and 1,300 mm. For the use of cylinders 01 ; 02 simple circumference, the speeds for the form 01 and the transfer cylinder 02 are to be doubled. The same applies to printing units 03 , whereby a forme cylinder 01 with a single circumference interacts with a transfer cylinder 02 with a double circumference.

For one or more of the mentioned speed ranges of the forme cylinder 01 and the transfer cylinder 02 , the directions of rotation are counterclockwise and clockwise. These directions of rotation are defined in the following figures, which show the side views of the cylinders 01 ; 02 represent.

The operating states mentioned and preferred speeds are also below to apply to other forme cylinders, transfer cylinders.

The inking roller 04 , designed as anilox or anilox roller 04 or as a rubberized inking roller 04 , can also be at a standstill, ie it rotates at a speed "zero" NW, with a production speed PW or with a set-up speed RW. The set-up speed RW can be a speed VEW for pre-inking, a speed WW for washing or a speed WLW for the ink roller 04 to continue to run.

The preferred speed ranges for the inking roller 04 depend on the printing process and / or on the configuration of the printing unit or the inking unit.

In the following, a distinction should be made between a simple rubberized inking roller 04 , an anilox 04 or anilox roller 04 and an anilox roller 04 of double circumference. The operation performed as a simple, rubberized ink application roller 04 inking roller 04 preferably has a third of the circumference of a forme cylinder 01 of double circumference approximately. An anilox roller 04 which interacts directly with the forme cylinder 01 can have the circumference of a forme cylinder 01 of a single circumference, or, particularly in high or flexographic printing, of a forme cylinder 01 of twice the circumference.

The production speed PW is z. B. between 40,000 to 100,000 rev / h for the anilox 04 or anilox roller 04 directly interacting with the forme cylinder 01 , and between 60,000 and 150,000 rev / h for the case of the inking roller 04 . For the anilox roller 04 double the production speed PW z. B. between 20,000 to 50,000 U / h.

The speed VEW for pre-inking the ink roller 04 is z. B. between 12,000 to 24,000 U / h in the case of anilox 04 or anilox roller 04 of simple scope and between 18,000 and 36,000 U / h in the case of an inking roller 04 .

The speed WW for washing the ink roller 04 is z. B. 600 to 1,600 U / h in the case of an anilox 04 or anilox roller 04 of simple scope and is between 900 and 2,400 U / h for the case of an inking roller 04 .

To keep the ink roller 04 running against drying of the ink, the speed WLW is preferably between 3,000 and 6,000 rpm for the anilox roller 04 of double circumference, between 6,000 and 12,000 rpm for the anilox roller 04 of single circumference and between 18,000 and 36,000 rpm. h for the inking roller 04 .

In the figures, the rollers 04 are generalized for simplicity and shown with a uniform diameter.
