A fold structure is known in WO 97/17200 A2, after which cut, mutually offset partial webs different Folders fed become. The horizontal formers are arranged side by side z. T. vertically staggered.

The DE 44 19 217 A1 shows a superstructure of a web-fed rotary printing press with a turning device, partial webs being displaced by half a partial web width in order to guide them one above the other and to feed them to a common former.

The invention has for its object a Printing machine, a mode of operation of the printing machine and a printed product to accomplish.

The object is achieved by the Features of claim 1, 2, 3, 4 or 88 or 117 solved.

The achievable with the invention The main advantages are that it is simple, inexpensive and space-saving design with high variability in the product or intermediate product enabled becomes.

There are also particular advantages in that compared to a double-width press production security for the same target strength that can be achieved significantly increased becomes. However, keeping the number of printing units can also the emission of the Printing machine, or each printing unit can be increased by 50%.

The number of reelstands (investment) that frequency the roll change (production security) and the set-up time for Web feeding (cycle times) can be compared to a double wide press for the same product strength decreased become.

In an advantageous embodiment, the printing units are designed as nine-cylinder satellite printing units, which on the one hand results in a high precision in the color register and on the other hand results in a low-vibration design. Vibrations also reduced by the advantageous arrangement, design and attachment of elevators on the cylinders. On the one hand, openings on the lateral surfaces are minimized in the circumferential direction. Furthermore, at least on the transfer cylinder, the openings can be arranged so as to be alternately offset in the circumferential direction in such a way that, at least over a section length, a closed outer surface always interacts with the forme or satellite cylinder. Thirdly, out-of-roundness and manufacturing costs are minimized by the fact that channels are provided which axially penetrate the bale along its entire effective length, but openings to the lateral surface only exist in the sections mentioned. In the channels z. B. optionally used devices for fastening elevator ends and / or filler pieces.

In the channel or in the channels of the Forme cylinders are at least six devices in the axial direction arranged for the axial positioning of printing forms. These are z. B. as positive with printing form ends cooperating register pins, which are arranged axially movable manually or remotely within the channel.

Advantageous in terms of reproducible assembly of the forme cylinders with accurate register or register Printing forms is the execution of the printing units with associated pressing devices. It can with this on the lateral surface of the cylinder overlying lifts fixed by at least one pressure element as required be while one end of an elevator or several elevators released for removal or loading is or are.

The mechanically of the cylinder pairs independent Driving the satellite cylinder (s) has particular advantages in terms of possibility a variable operation. For example, during the Production an arming, z. B. a flying change of printing form or washing. Conversely, a web can be drawn in while other cylinders or Cylinder pairs are available or a set-up program run through. It is also an advantage if you have rubber blankets with positive or negative promoting Properties, the satellite cylinder with a different from the other cylinders surface velocity to operate.

In an advantageous embodiment points a superstructure the printing press with at least one longitudinal cutting device at least five knives spaced apart from one another transversely to the direction of paper travel. In an advantageous embodiment are two for each printing tower (or eight printing points each) transversely to the direction of paper travel Movable register devices to compensate for the travel routes Partial tracks provided. these can in further training in construction, each with a partial web-wide turning device be connected. Subsequent ones, only assigned to partial webs Guiding elements are e.g. B. essentially only part of the web executed. These designs enable a low-vibration, and thus precise fit transport of the Train. Through indolence long, strong guide elements driven only by the partial tracks) caused web tension fluctuations (e.g. with load changes, changes printing speed) can be effective can be reduced.

With a view to reliable operation and A cost-saving construction method is also an advantage in the superstructure possibility a turn of a partial web by an odd multiple of one to provide half of the web. It can be drawn in and printed of partial webs with half a hopper width (e.g. a newspaper page) omitted.

In terms of cost and space saving Construction is in one version of advantage, only one of two stacked formers a so-called hard, d. H. several i. d. R. unpowered idler rollers, vorzuordnen. Sheets of hardness can be transferred to the other former. The two vertically one above the other arranged formers are from the same flight from each other lying partial webs strands variable strength or Number of partial webs can be fed.

In one version, partial webs are made of one the harp assigned to one funnel group of the other funnel group actable and vice versa. In an advantageous embodiment just one of two on top of each other arranged formers a so-called hard, d. H. several i. d. Usually unpowered overrun rollers (also called collecting or removal rollers), vorzuordnen. On the other former, webs are then out of the common hard to be transferred. The both arranged vertically one above the other Folding hoppers are from the same flight of overlapping partial webs strands variable strength or partial web number can be fed.

In an advantageous embodiment of a The turning device is the partial web only by an odd number Multiple of half a part web width displaceable or offset. So lets z. B. avoid with little effort, print very narrow webs to have to or additional To provide printing units. The version that can be moved across the track at least one of the turning bars allows a high variability.

The mechanically of the printing units independent Drive of rollers of the hopper structure and / or the folder is particularly with regard to good registration and one variable operation advantageous.

With the six-cylinder unit and the web guides There are particular advantages in the fact that a large variety of products is achievable and in connection with the drive situations mentioned a flexible and exact drive is possible.

In the channel 36 (with two openings 38 ; 39 ) an adjusting means extends on each end 46 ; 47 over at least the corresponding length of section AB; EF. That of the middle opening 41 assigned actuating means 48 also extends over at least the corresponding length of the assigned section CD. However, it can also extend at least on one side to the front of the cylinder 17 extend if it is advantageous for a supply of resources ( 6a ). The positioning means 46 ; 47 ; 48 are each as axial in the channel 36 ; 37 running and reversibly deformable hollow body which can be actuated with pressure medium 46 ; 47 ; 48 , e.g. B. as a hose 46 ; 47 ; 48 , executed. This hose 46 ; 47 ; 48 is according to 6c with the clamping pieces 43 so interacting in the channel 36 ; 37 arranged that he self-locking the holding device 43 . 44 closing spring elements 44 counteracts when actuated. Through the areas of filling elements to be passed 49 it becomes through this or its opening 51 passed through ( 6d ).

In another version of the channels 36 ; 37 these may not be continuous over the entire length. For example, in the area of each section AB; CD; EF one channel each 36 ; 37 , if necessary with a corresponding holding device, provided the channel 37 of the middle elevator 21 is offset by 180 ° with respect to the two outer ones. This is in 6e only indicated schematically.

In one especially in connection with the six-page printing units 02 or cylinders 16 ; 17 advantageous embodiment is at least two cylinders 16 ; 17 , especially two forme cylinders 16 , at least one of the printing towers 01 each have a device 52 for pressing an elevator 19 ; 21 on a cylinder 16 ; 17 , in particular a printing form 19 to the forme cylinder 16 , (in the following press device 52 ) assigned. This is e.g. B. advantageous if in two corresponding printing units 13 a quick, e.g. B. flying plate change should be made. In particular, it is advantageous for a quick, safe and exact product change if all forme cylinders 16 of a pressure tower 01 such a pressing device 52 assigned. A corresponding pressing device 52 has one or more pressing elements 53 ; 54 , e.g. B. strips, plunger or rolling elements 53 ; 54 , on which one and / or several lifts 19 ; 21 is or are selectively employable. This enables controlled and guided retraction or tensioning and / or detachment or removal of the elevator 19 ; 21 allows. It is also possible to put an end to this 24 ; 26 of the elevator 19 ; 21 in the corresponding channel 27 ; 36 ; 37 or the opening 28 ; 38 ; 39 ; 41 to move in or a loosened end 24 ; 26 or the partially released elevator 19 ; 21 hold down in a desired location. The pressing device 52 extends along the cylinder 16 ; 17 at least in the entire area of sections A to F, ie in the area of the bale effective for printing.

In the 7 described design of the pressing device 52 is especially in connection with the in 5 described embodiment for the common adjusting means extending over all sections A to F. 32 advantageous. In this constellation, a single or group mounting, changing and / or removing is also possible for six side by side on the forme cylinder 16 arranged printing forms 19 possible without being inside the forme cylinder 16 increased expenditure on actuating devices or the supply of operating materials has to be made. This also considerably simplifies production, assembly and maintenance.

The pressing device 52 has sections A to F (with six lifts arranged side by side 19 ) or section AB; CD; EF (with three lifts arranged side by side 21 ) at least a first pressure element 53 , e.g. B. rolling element 53 , on. In an advantageous embodiment according to 7 assigns it to sections A to F or section AB; CD; EF one in the circumferential direction of the cylinder 16 ; 17 from this first rolling element 53 spaced second pressing element 54 , e.g. B. rolling element 54 , on. In 7 are for the case of the forme cylinder 16 only middle sections B, C and D and the rolling elements assigned to these sections B, C and D. 53 ; 54 shown. A first rolling element is provided for each section A to F or AB to EF 53 or a group of first rolling elements arranged side by side in the axial direction 53 and z. B.

a second rolling element 54 or a group of second rolling elements arranged side by side in the axial direction 54 arranged. In the example, each section A to F or AB to EF is a first rolling element 53 and a group of three second rolling elements 54 shown. The arrangement of groups of at least two rolling elements which can be moved independently of one another is advantageous with regard to the risk of possible canting and possibly incorrect axial alignment 53 ; 54 , A single rolling element 53 ; 54 for a section A to F or AB to EF is, for example, as a roller extending in the longitudinal direction almost over the length of section A to F or AB to EF 53 ; 54 executed, a rolling element 53 ; 54 a group, however, z. B. only as the highest having a fraction of the length of the section A to F or AB to EF role 53 ; 54 ,

The rolling elements arranged axially next to each other 53 ; 54 and, if provided, the rolling elements arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction 53 ; 54 are basically movable independently of each other on a crossbar, for example 56 (or several trusses 56 ) arranged. The only first rolling element 53 or the group of first rolling elements 53 of each section A to F or AB to EF and, if provided, the only second rolling element 54 or the group of second rolling elements 54 of each section A to F or AB to EF are independent of each other by their own adjusting means 57 ; 58 actuated. These actuators 57 ; 58 are, for example, as reversibly deformable hollow bodies which can be acted upon by pressure medium 57 ; 58 , especially as a hose 57 ; 58 executed. However, other types of electrically or magnetically actuable actuating means can also be provided.

For opening an elevator 16 ; 17 in one of the sections A to F or AB to EF the leading, z. B. acute-angled end 24 of the elevator 16 ; 17 into the opening in question 28 ; 38 ; 39 ; 41 introduced. The first or first rolling elements assigned to this section A to F or AB to EF 53 and, if provided, the second roller element or elements assigned to this section A to F or AB to EF 54 are attached to the cylinder 16 ; 17 or to the lift that is already hooked in and that has to be mounted 19 ; 21 hired. Are already one or more other elevators 19 ; 21 on the cylinder 16 ; 17 arranged and should remain there, so are the first and / or second rolling elements relating to this section A to F or AB to EF 53 ; 54 to the respective elevator 19 ; 21 hired. If first and second rolling elements 53 ; 54 are provided, presses when rolling the cylinder 16 ; 17 with the rolling elements 53 ; 54 the second rolling element 54 the trailing beveled end 26 of the elevator 19 ; 21 when rolling over into the opening 28 ; 38 ; 39 ; 41 , Is or are only the first rolling elements 53 provided, it is pushed in by this. The rolling elements preferably remain here 53 ; 54 stationary while the cylinder 16 ; 17 is rotated in a production direction P. The one or more previously in a release position (open) holding means for sections A to F or AB to EF, z. B. one or more clamping pieces 29 ; 43 , changes or change into his or her holding or clamping position (closed). After the holding means has changed from its release position to its holding position, all rolling elements become 53 ; 54 of the relevant section A to F or AB to EF of the cylinder 16 ; 17 or its elevator 19 ; 21 switched off.

When bracing an elevator 19 ; 21 a distinction must be made between one or more other lifts 19 ; 21 on the cylinder 16 ; 17 should remain. In this case, at least one of the elevators to be left is at first 19 ; 21 assigned rolling elements 53 ; 54 in the area of its trailing end 26 or near the opening 28 ; 38 ; 39 ; 41 to employ or employed. That is the elevator to be solved 19 ; 21 assigned rolling element 53 ; 54 can remain or be turned off. The holding means for sections A to F or AB to EF is opened. The trailing end 26 of the elevator to be solved 19 ; 21 is due to the internal stress from the channel 27 ; 36 ; 37 removed while the lifts to be left 19 ; 21 through the rolling elements 53 ; 54 are held down. The holding means is closed again. Has the pressure device 52 first and second rolling elements, respectively 53 ; 54 on, so the lifts to be left 19 ; 21 advantageous by at least the second rolling elements 54 held down. At the elevator intended for removal 19 ; 21 is at least the second rolling element 54 turned off so the end 26 from the channel 27 ; 36 ; 37 can escape, and the first rolling element 53 hired so that the elevator, which has already been partially released 19 ; 21 still on the cylinder 16 ; 17 is managed and held. Then the cylinder 16 ; 17 , preferably against the production direction P, are rotated until the leading end 24 from the channel 27 ; 36 ; 37 away, and the elevator 19 ; 21 can be removed. Are unclamping the elevator 19 ; 21 no lifts left 19 ; 21 to take into account, the rolling elements 53 ; 54 not the elevator to be solved 19 ; 21 relevant sections A to F or AB to EF generally take any operating positions, preferably switched off, during the procedure.

It can thus on the outer surface 30 ; 40 of the cylinder 16 ; 17 surface lifts 19 ; 21 by at least one pressure element 53 ; 54 be pinned as needed while ending 24 ; 26 an elevator 19 ; 21 or several elevators 19 ; 21 is or are released, ie is not pressed at this time.

In an advantageous embodiment, the cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 the printing unit 02 so driven that the printing units 13 the printing unit 02 in each case at least by one of the other printing units 13 mechanically independent drive motor 61 can be driven in rotation. In the case of the satellite printing unit 02 is the satellite cylinder (s) 18 also by a drive motor 61 mechanically independent of the assigned printing units 13 can be driven in rotation. The drive motors 61 are preferably controlled as electric motors with respect to their angular position 61 , e.g. B. as asynchronous motors, synchronous motors or DC motors. In an advantageous development is between the drive motor 61 and the cylinder to be driven 16 ; 17 ; 18 or pair of cylinders 16 . 17 ; 18 . 18 at least one gear 62 , in particular at least one reduction gear 62 (such as pinion, attachment and / or planetary gear). The individual drives contribute to the high flexibility and to avoid vibrations in the mechanical drive system, and thus also to the high quality in the product. In the following 8th to 10 only the components of the right half of the image have corresponding reference numerals, since the left side of the right side is a mirror image speaks. For top and bottom printing units there are alternative configurations for any existing inking or dampening units 14 ; 20 indicated which are to be transferred alternately to each other.

In 8th point all nine cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 each with its own drive motor 61 on which each z. B. via a gear 62 on the cylinder 16 ; 17 ; 18 drives. The inking unit shown above 14 has two distribution cylinders in addition to other, not designated rollers 63 which is rotatory together by means of its own drive motor 64 are drivable. The two distribution cylinders 63 are axially movable and drivable to generate an axial stroke by a drive means, not shown. The inking unit shown below 14 only has a distribution cylinder 63 on. The dampening system shown above 20 has two distribution cylinders in addition to other, not designated rollers 66 which is rotatory together by means of its own drive motor 67 are drivable. The two distribution cylinders 66 are axially movable and drivable to generate an axial stroke by a drive means, not shown. The dampening system shown below 20 only has a distribution cylinder 66 on. In a variant, which in the upper printing units 13 is indicated by dotted lines, the inking and / or dampening 14 ; 20 not with its own drive motor 64 ; 67 but from one of the cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 , especially from the forme cylinder 16 forth via a mechanical coupling, e.g. B. via gears and / or belts, rotationally driven.

In contrast to 8th become the two cylinders 16 ; 17 every printing unit 13 in the execution after 9 each from a common drive motor 61 on the transfer cylinder 17 driven. The drive can be axial, e.g. B. via a gear 62 , take place or via a drive wheel of the transfer cylinder 17 driving pinion. From the drive wheel of the transfer cylinder 17 can then on a drive wheel of the forme cylinder 16 be aborted. The drive connection 68 (shown as a connecting line) can be made as a gear connection or via belts and is designed to be encapsulated. For the drive of the inking and, if necessary, dampening unit 14 ; 20 via own drive motors 64 ; 67 or a cylinder 16 ; 17 ; 18 is basically that too 8th applied to apply.

In contrast to 9 become the two cylinders 16 ; 17 every printing unit 13 in the execution after 10 each from a common drive motor 61 , but on the forme cylinder 16 driven. The drive can again axially, for. B. via a gear 62 , take place or via a drive wheel of the forme cylinder 16 driving pinion. From the drive wheel of the forme cylinder 16 can then on a drive wheel of the transfer cylinder 17 be aborted. The drive connection 68 can like to 9 be set out. For the drive of the inking and, if necessary, dampening unit 14 ; 20 via own drive motors 64 ; 67 or a cylinder 16 ; 17 ; 18 is that basically too 8th applied to apply.

In contrast to that in 8th or 9 Execution indicated by dotted lines without own rotary drive of the inking and / or dampening unit 14 ; 20 , however, it is advantageous in a further development, from the transfer cylinder 17 on the inking and / or dampening system 14 ; 20 to drive. In this way, a clear torque flow can be achieved and any tooth flank changes that otherwise occur can be avoided. An embodiment of such a drive train is shown schematically in 11 shown.

The drive motor 61 drives over a pinion 71 on one with the forme cylinder 16 drive wheel connected in a torsionally rigid manner 72 , which in turn is connected to the transfer cylinder 17 drive wheel connected in a torsionally rigid manner 73 drives. The drive wheel 73 is either widened or it is a second drive wheel 74 with the transfer cylinder 17 connected. The widened or additional drive wheel 73 ; 74 drives over a rotatable on a pin 76 of the forme cylinder 16 arranged drive wheel 77 on a drive wheel 78 the inking and / or dampening system 14 ; 20 , The drive wheels 72 ; 73 ; 74 ; 77 ; 78 are preferably designed as gears. In the event that the forme cylinder 16 to adjust the axial position by, for example, ± ΔL is axially movable, at least the pinion 71 as well as the drive wheels 72 to 74 straight toothed. Between the drive motor 61 and the transmission 62 from pinion 71 and drive wheel 72 can also have an encapsulated attachment gear indicated by a dashed line 62 ' be arranged. The drive on the forme cylinder 16 can alternatively also axially on the pin 76 take place, possibly with an axial movement of the forme cylinder 16 an axial relative movement (not shown) between the forme cylinder 16 and the drive motor 61 receiving clutch takes place. The satellite cylinder 18 is also in this representation via a pinion 71 on a drive wheel assigned to it 79 , especially gear 79 , driven. Each with an independent drive motor 61 In an advantageous embodiment, the driven drive train is encapsulated at least by itself, possibly in even smaller units (stitched in 11 ) Shown.

The described configurations of the printing unit 02 or the printing units 13 or their cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 or the drive enables low-vibration, precisely fitting printing of high quality with a low technical and spatial expenditure in relation to the achievable product strength.

After printing the z. B. six printed pages wide web 03 this runs, possibly via unspecified guide elements and / or traction rollers, in the area of the superstructure 04 and is z. B. by the longitudinal cutting devices 06 guided ( 12 ). This z. B. a roller 81 , for example a by means of its own drive motor 80 driven pull roller 81 on which pressure rollers can work together to avoid slippage. Slitter 06 and the pull roller 81 can also be carried out separately, but preferably with the longitudinal cutting device 06 another roller works together as a replacement. In this slitter 06 becomes the web 03 for example in several, e.g. B. three, partial web-wide webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c , short partial lanes 03a ; 03b ; 03c (symbolized by center lines, lines 03a . 03b only indicated), cut lengthwise before these partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c subsequent guide elements, e.g. B. Rolling register devices 08 , Turning bars of turning devices 07 , Feed rollers for the hopper inlet or feed rollers. In order to achieve a low-vibration web transport with regard to the web tension, individual, several or all non-driven or only by friction with the web 03a ; 03b ; 03c driven guide elements, which are used to guide partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c are intended to be carried out with a reduced length. So in addition to the length, the otherwise for z. B. six printed pages wide machines great required strength of the guide elements and thus significantly reduce the inertia. The risk of vibrations in the web tension, which otherwise exists especially when the speed changes, is effectively reduced, which in turn is reflected in the registration and thus in the quality of the print. The following explanations on the guide elements of reduced length, on the lateral changeability as well as on the assignment of a register roller to another guide element can be applied to a wide variety of printing presses, but are of particular advantage i. V. m. wide, e.g. B. six plate wide machines.

12 shows a perspective oblique view of a first embodiment for at least part of the superstructure 04 , An example is in 12 the partial web 03b as a partial web turned outwards from the center 03b shown. A second of the partial lanes 03a ; 03c could for example by means of a second such turning device 07 can also be turned into another escape. A second turning device can e.g. B. above or below the first turning device 07 lie.

The turning device 07 points as a guide 82 as usual two parallel or crossed turning bars 82 on the direction of transport of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c form an angle of approximately 45 ° or 135 °, and by means of which an incoming path 03a ; 03b ; 03c is laterally displaceable and / or fallable. The turning bars 82 advantageously have a length L82, the projection of which on the transverse extent of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c slightly larger, e.g. B. 0% to 20% larger than the width of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c is, ie the length L82 is approximately 1.4 to 1.7 times the width of the partial web. At least the length L82 is selected in such a way that its projection is less than or equal to twice the width of a two-side-wide partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c is, ie the length L82 is at most 2.8 times the width of the partial web. In an advantageous development, the turning bars 82 individually on straps 83 stored, which is transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c on at least one tour 84 are changeable. The now "short" turning bars 82 can now be moved from the desired web guide to the required position depending on the requirements. Under certain circumstances, both turning bars can 82 on such a carrier 83 be stored.

Relocated, turned, transferred and / or fallen partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c experienced compared to other partial webs 03a ; 03c usually an offset in the running direction and are therefore by means of a register device 08 corrected in the longitudinal register. The register facility 08 points as a guide 86 at least one roller movable parallel to the direction of travel 86 on. The roller 86 or several rollers 86 the register device 08 advantageously have a length L86 that is slightly larger, z. B. 0% to 20% larger than the width of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c is. At least the length L86 is less than or equal to twice the width of a partial web that is two sides wide 03a ; 03b ; 03c , The register device is an advantageous further development 08 transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c on at least one tour 87 can be moved. The now narrow register device 08 or their short rollers 86 can now be moved from the desired web guide to the required position depending on the requirements.

In addition to cutting, turning and registering, if necessary, the partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c in the superstructure 04 u. U. guided over other, not driven guide elements, such as guide rollers, not shown, before they ultimately one of the fold structure 11 upstream beater or harp roller 88 the so-called hard 09 ( 1 ) is supplied. For straight running tracks 03 or partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c is in the superstructure 04 upstream of the harp roller 89 For example, a register roller that can be moved in the transport direction and extends over the full web width b03 91 as well as a deflection roller 92 arranged.

In an advantageous embodiment, a length L88 of a guide roller and / or harp roller 88 ; 93 slightly larger, e.g. B. 0% to 20% larger than the width of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c , At least the length is L88; L93 ( 13 ) less than or equal to twice the width of a two-page-wide partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c , In the embodiment according to 12 is the "short" harp roller 88 as a section 88 one divided in this version, but in total including a web that is six pages wide 03 reaching harp roller 89 realized. The sections 88 are rotatably supported here independently of each other.

The "short" harp roller 88 ; 93 as a guiding element 88 ; 93 can instead of or in addition to a section 88 also, as in 13 shown as a harp roller arranged individually on a frame 93 be executed. This can then either be fixed to the frame or on a support 94 on a tour 96 transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c be arranged to be movable.

Since the offset when turning, relocating, cambering etc. is only this part of the web 03a ; 03b ; 03c relates and is bound to the special web guide, the required register device can be in an advantageous embodiment 08 at least one the run of the partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c determining guiding elements, such as. B. the turning device 07 or a turning bar 82 or the hard one 09 or a "short" harp roller 93 , be assigned.

In 13 is the "short" register device 08 z. B. the "short" harp roller 93 assigned and together with this to the leadership 96 transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03b ; 03c local variable.

In 14 is the "short" register device 08 z. B. one of the "short" turning bars 82 assigned and together with this to the leadership 84 transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03b local variable. This arrangement is here for crossed turning bars 82 shown, but on parallel turning bars 82 out 11 apply. In the case of crossed or orthogonal turning bars 82 is at least one (here two) deflection roller 97 with perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the roller 81 extending axis of rotation.

In an advantageous development are in the superstructure 04 one triple-wide printing press per entire web 03 two such, with register and turning device 08 ; 07 or with register and harp roller 93 "short" devices which can be moved together are arranged one above the other or one below the other.

The guides 84 ; 96 ( 13 and 14 ) of the exemplary embodiments mentioned can be implemented in a wide variety of ways. For example, the guides 84 ; 96 be designed as spindles with at least section thread, which is rotatably mounted on both sides and z. B. can be driven in rotation by a drive, not shown. The bearers 83 ; 94 can also be used in the form of sliding blocks in rigid guides 84 ; 96 , e.g. B. on profiles. This can drive the carrier 83 ; 94 also done via a drivable spindle or in another way. By means of the transversely changeable turning bar 82 are variable transfers or offsets of partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c across one or two part web widths (or multiples of half a part web width) possible. Here the printed partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c into the flight of one of several, here three, crosswise to the direction of the folding former 101 ; 102 ; 103 ( 15 ) of the fold structure 11 brought. The transfer takes place, for example, to meet the requirement for different thicknesses of individual strands or ultimately intermediate or end products, while at the same time effective printing with the fullest possible web widths should take place.

For n full webs to be printed 03 ; 03 ' (e.g. n printing towers 01 ) the superstructure has a respective maximum width b03 of m printed pages 04 in an advantageous embodiment at least (n · (m / 2 - 1)) turning devices 07 on. In the case of a six page wide press and e.g. B. three lanes 03 ; 03 ' (or three printing towers 01 ) There are six turning devices per section 07 an advantage for each section.

In one embodiment of a printing press with e.g. B. two sections of three printing towers each 01 and a total of six webs intended for four-sided four-color printing 03 ; 03 '; 03 '' are at least three turning devices 07 arranged per section.

In an advantageous embodiment of a printing press with z. B. two sections of two printing towers each 01 and a total of four webs for six-sided four-color printing 03 ; 03 ; 03 '' are z. B. four turning devices 07 arranged per section. In this printing press with two sections or a total of four printing towers 01 (four lanes 03 ; 03 ' ) is then a product with a total thickness of z. B. 96 pages can be generated. In addition to the offset of a partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c By an integer multiple of its partial web width b03a, an operating mode is advantageous, with one partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c is offset by an odd multiple of half a web width b03a and / or funnel width (ie by a factor of 0.5; 1.5; 2.5) ( 15 ). This can be done by means of long, over the entire width of the printing press or the width b03 of the entire web 03 reaching turning bars (not shown), but also advantageously by means of the "short" turning bars which can be moved as described above 82 respectively. The turning bars 82 are then, for example, as in 15 shown so arranged that the first of the partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c wrapped turning bar 82 at least over an entire width of a subsequent former 101 ; 102 ; 103 aligns while the second turning bar 82 at least with two adjacent halves of two subsequent folding former arranged side by side 101 ; 102 ; 103 flees.

The partial web offset by an odd multiple of half a hopper width b101 or partial web width b03a 03a ; 03b ; 03c thus runs "between" the former 101 ; 102 ; 103 , This is in 15 and 16 using the example of the six-page wide funnel arrangement on a two-page wide partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c shown, but also on Transfer machines of different widths. There is therefore no need for partial webs which are only one printing page wide 03a ; 03b ; 03c or partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c half a funnel width b101 printed as such and fed through the machine. A high variety in the product is still possible.

The partial web offset by an odd multiple of half a partial web width b03a 03a ; 03b ; 03c is in front of the former 101 ; 102 ; 103 in one between the two aligned formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 lying lengthways cut and runs on the fold structure 11 or the hard 09 , ie undivided and / or divided harp roller 89 and / or "short" harp roller 93 , to ( 16 ).

In 16 is a schematic section of the 15 with differently designed harp rollers 89 ; 93 shown, for example the partial web 03c from its original position (shown empty) by one and a half web widths b03a. It can, for example, with a further longitudinal cutting device 104 in front of the former 101 ; 102 ; 103 is cut (then one printed page or newspaper page wide), each half with the partial webs 03a and 03b on one former 101 ; 102 be performed. The two (intermediate) products then have e.g. B. at least one partial web wide one printing page 03c1 ; 03c2 a partial web that was formerly two printed pages wide 03a ; 03b ; 03c on. In addition, partial webs 03a '; 03b '; 03c ' from others, e.g. B. in another printing unit 02 or another pressure tower 01 printed webs 03 ' on one or more of the harp rollers 89 ; 93 accrues. The partial webs running above or below one another in the same flight 03a . 03a ' . 03c1 ; 03b . 03b ' . 03c2 ; 03c ' can now z. B. each to a strand 109 ; 111 ; 112 summarized a former 101 ; 102 ; 103 are fed. In the exemplary embodiment, it is thus possible to print from two webs, each printed on both sides, in double-size and triple-width printing units (for example four-color) 03 ; 03 ' Products or intermediate products (also called booklets or books) with the following, depending on the assignment of the forme cylinder 16 and the corresponding operation of the folder 12 generate different number of pages: for simple production, ie the forme cylinder 16 is circumferential with two printing forms 19 different printed pages A1, A2 to F1, F2 (or A1 ', A2' to F1 ', F2' for the second web 03 ' ) occupied and in the folder 12 if there is cross cutting and collecting, then the strands are over 109 and 111 two different booklets each with 10 Printed pages, and over the strand 112 two different issues, each with 4 Print pages can be generated. An overall product has e.g. B. 48 pages. If this printing machine is operated in double production, ie the forme cylinder 16 is circumferential with two printing forms 19 same printed pages A1, A1; to F1, (or A1 ', A1' to F1 ', F1') and in the folder 12 if there is no collection, then the strands are over 109 . 111 and 112 two identical successive issues of the above page numbers can be generated. It is an overall product with z. B. only 24 pages, but produced with double output.

The harp rollers 89 ; 93 , in particular if they are undivided over the full length, can be driven in a further development by own drive motors, not shown, in a development. These are then z. B. in terms of their speed, u. U. also their position, designed to be controllable and are connected to the machine control or an electronic master axis for the transfer of current setpoints.

As in 17 shown, the fold structure 11 at least two folding formers arranged one above the other 101 . 106 ; 102 . 107 ; 103 . 108 on whose planes of symmetry S each in a common alignment of a partial web running straight through the printing press 03a ; 03b ; 03c lie. In particular, the planes of symmetry S of the two formers arranged one above the other fall 101 . 106 ; 102 . 107 ; 103 . 108 essentially together with a central plane M of a two-page wide, straight running, only diverted in the vertical direction partial web 3a ; 3b ; 3c ( 3a '; 3b '; 3c ' respectively. 3a ''; 3b ''; 3c '' respectively. 3a '''; 3b '''; 3c ''' etc.). The partial lanes 3a ; 3b ; 3c etc. are in 17 from a below (to 18 ) explained reason partly solid and partly shown in broken lines.

For the six printing pages wide printing machine are in accordance 17 two groups of three formers, vertically offset from each other 101 . 102 . 103 respectively. 106 . 107 . 108 arranged. For four printing pages wide printing machines this can be two, for eight pages wide printing machines four funnels next to each other. One upper and one lower former 101 . 106 ; 102 . 107 ; 103 . 108 are aligned in pairs in the above-mentioned manner to each other and to a central plane M. The three formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 respectively. 106 ; 107 ; 108 a group are transverse to the direction of the partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c offset from one another and arranged in an advantageous embodiment substantially at the same height. However, if necessary, they can also be offset vertically from one another and / or have different vertical dimensions. B. at least partially overlap in the horizontal plane.

When viewed in the direction of web travel, the fold structure shows 11 at least in front of one of the superimposed groups of formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 respectively. 106 ; 107 ; 108 which the funnel inlet of the webs 03 ; 03 '; or partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c fixing harp 09 , ie a group of several parallel baffle or harp rollers offset in the radial direction 89 ; 93 on what different tracks 03 ; 03 ' or partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c ; respectively. 03a '; 03b '; 03c ' etc. from the superstructure 04 in the fold structure 11 be transferred. Following the harp rollers 89 ; 93 they become one strand 109 ; 111 ; 112 or to several strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 summarized. The later location of the partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c ; respectively. 03a '; 03b '; 03c ' in the strand 109 ; 111 ; 112 or their printed pages in the intermediate and / or end product is, among other things, the choice of a relative location to others, the hard 09 continuous partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c ; respectively. 03a '; 03b '; 03c ' already in the harp 09 established. The harp rollers 89 ; 93 a tough one 09 are offset vertically and / or horizontally to each other and preferably stored as a structural unit in a common frame. In principle, for each of the vertically staggered groups of formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 respectively. 106 ; 107 ; 108 such a harp 09 be provided.

To save overall height, in an advantageous embodiment, as in 1 and 19 shown, the two superimposed, but aligned in their plane of symmetry folding former 101 . 106 ; 102 . 107 ; 103 . 108 a common hardship 09 on. For n full webs to be printed 03 ; 03 ' (e.g. n printing towers 01 a section) of a respective maximum width b03 of m printed pages shows the hardness 09 in an advantageous embodiment at least (n · m / 2) harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 on whose axes of rotation z. B. lie essentially in a common plane, and which are preferably stored in a common frame. In the case of the present six pages wide printing machine and z. B. two lanes 03 ; 03 ' (or two printing towers 01 ) are at least six harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 hard ever 09 advantageous.

In one version of a section of the printing press with three printing towers 01 and three webs for two-sided four-color printing 03 ; 03 '; 03 '' are at least nine harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 hard ever 09 arranged. In this section, a product with a total thickness of z. B. 72 pages can be generated.

In an advantageous embodiment of a printing press with z. B. two sections of two printing towers each 01 and a total of four webs for six-sided four-color printing 03 ; 03 '; 03 '' are at least six harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 per harp 09 arranged in a section. These six harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 each section, here twelve, can be divided into two structurally separate hardnesses 09 z. B. over a common fold structure 11 or two fold structures 11 , but also in a common harp 09 z. B. be arranged in two alignments. In this printing press with two sections or a total of four printing towers 01 (four lanes 03 ; 03 ' ) is then a product with a total thickness of z. B. 96 pages can be generated.

In one embodiment of a printing press with e.g. B. two sections of two printing towers each 01 and a total of four webs for six-sided four-color printing 03 ; 03 '; 03 '' are at least six harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 per harp 09 arranged in a section. These six harp rollers 88 ; 89 ; 93 each section, here twelve, can be divided into two structurally separate hardnesses 09 z. B. over a common fold structure 11 or two fold structures 11 , but also in a structurally common hardness 09 z. B. be arranged in two alignments. In this printing press with two sections or a total of four printing towers 01 (four lanes 03 ; 03 ' ) is then a product with a total thickness of z. B. 96 pages can be generated.

Is just a fold structure 11 intended for two sections, the number of required harp rollers 89 ; 93 determined according to the configuration of the two sections. Is the fold structure 11 arranged between these two sections, so are either all harp rollers 89 ; 93 the harp rollers are in line or to save construction height 89 ; 93 each section in each case in alignment and the alignments horizontally offset from one another in the radial direction. The harp rollers 89 ; 93 of the two escapes are z. B. again arranged in a common frame.

Are, as in 1 indicated, two fold structures 11 provided for the two sections, it may still be advantageous for at least one of the two hard 09 a number of harp rollers 89 ; 93 , if necessary in the two above alignments, which would be required for both sections. This provides an even greater degree of flexibility in terms of product strength and composition. Lanes printed in one section 03 ; 03 ' can now be used for further processing of the hard 09 to the other section and vice versa.

According to 18 is at least one of the partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc., which are in front of the top former 101 ; 102 ; 103 arranged common hardness 09 passes through to the lower former 106 ; 107 ; 108 feasible or managed. Depending on the desired thickness of the individual intermediate products (booklets, books), more or less of the partial webs are 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. on the top and bottom former 101 ; 102 ; 103 respectively. 106 ; 107 ; 108 to convict. Depending on the production requirements, strands of different thicknesses can be used 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 on the lower or upper former 101 ; 102 ; 103 respectively. 106 ; 107 ; 108 are given. For example, the are dashed in 17 partial webs shown as a strand 113 ; 114 ; 116 on the bottom former 106 ; 107 ; 108 , and the solid on the top of the former 101 ; 102 ; 103 guided. This is, depending on where the "separation" in partial webs lying one above the other 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. from the common hardness 09 flexible production of intermediate products of different strengths (booklets, books) or end products possible with reduced effort. In 18 is a second flight of harp rollers 89 ; 93 shown in dashed lines, by means of which, for example, partial webs as described above 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. can be recorded from another section.

In the case of multi-colored products, it is the use of the fold structure described 11 with common hardship 09 advantageous in terms of flexibility, all printing units 02 or printing towers 01 or the paths of the train 03 ; 03 ' to be carried out with the same color. So z. B. the train 03 ; 03 ' and / or partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. or the printing unit 13 flexible selection for a colored cover sheet and variable thickness of the intermediate products.

The fold construction mentioned above 11 with just one hard 09 for two stacking hoppers 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 is also suitable for other printing presses with other cylinder widths and cylinder sizes. Such one, consisting of two stacking formers arranged one above the other 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 and a common harp 09 existing folding superstructure 11 can also over a third former with its own hardness 09 be arranged. The fold structure described 11 with a number of vertically offset formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 assigned hardness 09 is also on three stacked formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 well applicable.

Outside pages of an outer book, for example can thus be a certain path guidance and / or a certain Assign pressure tower / pressure unit.

Through the several formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 assigned harp 09 it is possible to overlay the partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. Depending on the desired product, it can be flexibly processed into books of different thicknesses without the need for additional, superfluous transfers of partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. would be required. So z. B. of four superimposed partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. in one case three sheets on one and one on the other former 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 be carried out, while another two partial lanes 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. summarized on a former 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 be performed. It is particularly advantageous for strands lying next to one another 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 different levels, as in 17 shown, can be summarized.

The former 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 upstream train 117 and hopper inlet rollers 118 have in an advantageous embodiment as well as in the fold structure 11 provided pull rollers 121 ( 19 ) each with their own drive motors 119 on. In 19 is the pull roller 117 for the lower group of formers 106 ; 107 ; 108 not visible. The respective drive motor 119 the pull rollers 121 is in 19 only by filling the relevant pull roller 121 shown. Each of the former 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 is in an advantageous embodiment at least one such driven drive roller 121 downstream, which with pressure rollers or a pressure roller over the strand 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 interacts. In addition, the fold structure shows 11 preferably non-driven guide rollers 122 on, over which the strands wide one pressure side 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 can be performed.

Particularly advantageous, e.g. B. with regard to the compliance / setting of longitudinal registers, also has the folder 12 at least one of their own, from the printing units 02 mechanically independent drive motor 120 on. While the drive motors 119 the pulling or funnel infeed rollers 117 ; 118 ; 121 of the fold structure 11 and / or driven pull rollers 81 of the superstructure 04 The drive motor is only required to be regulated with respect to a speed (can be designed with respect to an angular position) 120 on the folder 12 In an advantageous embodiment with respect to its angular position, it is adjustable or regulated.

Thus, in one embodiment, it is possible to use the mechanically independently driven printing units 02 and the folder 12 (or their drive motors 61 ; 120 ) specify an angular position with regard to a virtual electronic leading axis. In another embodiment, for. B. the angular position of the folder 12 (or its drive motor 120 ) determined and based on this the relative angular position of the printing units 02 or printing units 13 given to this. The z. B. only with respect to their speed regulated drive motors 80 ; 119 of the driven rollers 81 ; 117 ; 118 receive their speed specification from the machine control, for example.

and produce more variations.

In bulk production double the page numbers of those then each collected from two longitudinally folded sections Intermediates.

For printing in tabloid format, the respective page numbers must be doubled. The dimensioning of the cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 and the groups of formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 is to be applied accordingly to "lying" printed pages, in the circumferential direction or running direction of the web 03 ; 03 '; 03a ; 03b ; 03c an ab cut A; B; C has two lying print pages, the forme cylinder 16 then z. B. has a circumference corresponding to four lying printed pages in tabloid format. The number of printed pages in the longitudinal direction remains per web 03 ; 03 '; 03a ; 03b ; 03c or cylinder 16 ; 17 ; 18 or funnel width.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the triple-width printing press, the folder is 12 with a transport cylinder 123 , e.g. B. collecting and / or folding knife cylinder, which has a circumference for accommodating more than five section lengths arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction and a corresponding number of holding devices 129 having.

The folder 12 are three strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 of three side-by-side formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 ; 106 ; 107 ; 108 feedable at the same time. However, the folder can also have up to six strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 from different hopper groups, which are then processed into a product.

The transport cylinder 123 is designed with the above-mentioned large scope in order to ensure correspondingly large adjusting movements (cutting, holding, folding) at high production speeds. On the other hand, the increased radius of curvature reduces the oblique cut edge of the cross-cut product, which is particularly pronounced in the case of strong products.

20 shows a schematic side view of the folder 12 , The folder 12 has at least one inlet, here two inlets, for one or more layers 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 on.

The strand 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 passes through a pair of pull rollers 124 to adjust the tension and hits the transport cylinder 123 at the level of a cutting gap 126 between the transport cylinder 123 one hand and a cutting cylinder 127 on the other hand. Instead of two inlets and two cutting gaps 126 can also be provided one, three or more.

The cutting cylinder 127 has a circumference corresponding to at least one, preferably two or more lengths from the tracks 03 ; 04 to produce signatures and carries two cutting knives 128 ,

The folder shown 12 here has two such, on the circumference of the transport cylinder 123 arranged cutting cylinder 127 on which each have two cutting knives 128 wear. As shown, two can be in the folder 12 strands to be combined into one product 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 or bundle of strands 135 (e.g. from different formers 101 . 102 . 103 ; 106 . 107 . 108 coming) into the two cutting gaps 126 out and cut there separately. The cutting knife 128 are arranged in an advantageous embodiment slightly offset from one another by 180 ° on the circumference in order to prevent repeated trimming of a signature recorded first in the collecting operation. A signature thus becomes shorter and the subsequent one longer than half the circumference of the cutting cylinder 127 cut. In this case, a length of a signature is to be understood as an average length.

The transport cylinder can continue 123 in the area of its circumference between two transport devices 129 have a displacement bar, not shown, which causes an effective shortening of the signature with respect to the circumference when exiting the circumferential surface. It can also be used on the second (lower) cutting cylinder 127 cut signature can be cut without one already on the transport cylinder 123 Trim the overlying signature, which is effectively shortened by the displacement bar.

The scope of the transport cylinder 123 corresponds to more than five, in particular seven, section lengths or seven lengths of the signature (“seven-field transport cylinder 123 " ). On the transport cylinder 11 are seven in a row in the circumferential direction at equal intervals in the circumferential surface of the transport cylinder 123 recessed holding devices 129 , e.g. B. puncture bars 129 arranged with extendable pin needles (pin folder). The holding devices 129 can also be used as a gripper 129 be carried out (gripper folder).

The stranded 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 The holding device cuts off the signature (section length, e.g. length of a standing printed page, in particular newspaper page) 129 on the transport cylinder 123 further promoted.

On the transport cylinder 123 are also seven folding knives 130 attached, each time a gap is reached 131 between the transport cylinder 123 and a jaw cylinder 132 be extended to the on the transport cylinder 123 transported signatures on the jaw cylinder 132 to be handed over and folded in a manner known per se. The folded products are from the jaw cylinder 124 to a paddle wheel 133 passed and from this to a delivery device 134 , e.g. B. a conveyor belt 134 designed.

The folder is preferred 12 , or its transport cylinder 123 trained to be switchable between a mode for normal and collective operation. When collecting the transport cylinder gives 123 the signature (product section) not yet when the gap is first run through 131 to the next cylinder 124 from, but in a further revolution with the same, the first revolution, z. B. the jaw cylinder 124 , handed over, the first signature-holding device 129 at least one further signature before the signatures collected in this way together in the gap 131 to the jaw cylinder 124 be delivered. In normal operation mode, the transport cylinder gives 123 the signature ever because the first time you pass through the gap 131 to the next cylinder 124 from. The transport cylinder 123 is in a convertible version, preferably as a puncture cylinder 123 , especially with seven puncture strips 129 in scope.

cutting 127 Transport 123 , Jaw cylinder 132 and if necessary paddle wheel 133 are preferred by at least one drive motor 136 (schematically in 19 drive motor 120 shown) mechanically independent of pressure units 03 , Superstructure 04 as well as fold construction 11 driven.

In the in 20 execution shown is from the drive motor 136 via not designated pinions or drive wheels on the cutting cylinder 127 (or on one of several cutting cylinders 127 ) driven. The latter is on the transport cylinder 123 and from this to the jaw cylinder 132 and the possibly further cutting cylinder 127 driven. From the jaw cylinder 132 is here via a belt drive 137 on the paddle wheel 133 driven.

In one in 20 only variant indicated by the dashed line is from the drive motor, not shown for this case 136 over a pinion 138 or drive wheel 138 (dashed) on the transport cylinder 123 driven. From the latter is on the cutting cylinder or cylinders 127 and the jaw cylinder 132 driven. From the jaw cylinder 132 is, for example, again via the belt drive 137 on the paddle wheel 133 driven. In both cases described, the display device 134 preferably its own, from the cylinders 123 . 127 ; 132 and the paddle wheel 133 mechanically independent drive motor.

cutting 127 Transport 123 and jaw cylinder 132 can also be mechanically independent of each other and driven by the printing units by their own drive motors.

In another advantageous drive design, cutting 127 Transport 123 and jaw cylinder 132 by at least one common or alternatively by one drive motor mechanically independent of the printing units 136 driven, while in a first variant paddle wheel 133 and delivery device 134 mechanically independent of the cylinders thanks to a common drive motor 123 ; 127 ; 132 and the printing units and in a second variant are each driven in rotation by their own drive motors.

With the execution of the transport cylinder 123 With seven section lengths on the circumference, it is possible for the above reasons to have twelve tracks 03 or the corresponding number of partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c etc. (up to seventy-two layers of paper) divided into up to six strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 , in the folder 12 respectively. This can be done using a folder 12 a product with no z. B. produce a total of 144 pages, especially newspaper pages. Is the folder 12 designed for the collective operation, it can be done using six lanes 03 the product of e.g. B. 144 pages or with more webs 03 produce even higher page numbers. The folder is for the latter product 12 for example designed as a wheel rebate or the holding devices 129 and the jaws must be designed to accommodate so many layers.

It is advantageous here if the one pair of pull rollers in the entrance area 124 or several pairs of pull rollers 124 each have at least one separate drive motor 139 exhibit. This allows in the entrance area of the folder 12 several strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 be summarized. In an advantageous development, the folder has 12 , as shown, two pairs of pull rollers in the entrance area 124 and two with the transport cylinder 123 interacting cutting cylinders 127 on. This allows two "bundles" of several strands in the entrance area 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 be put together, and these bundles one after the other on the transport cylinder 123 out and cut separately. These measures also contribute to the above-mentioned achievable product strength. Bundles of different or the same number of strands can be used 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 in both pull roller pairs 124 , or just all or a number of strands 109 ; 111 ; 112 ; 113 ; 114 ; 116 one of the two pairs of pull rollers 124 are fed.

In the embodiment shown, the folder has 12 another, by a drive motor 141 powered train group 142 (or two more in the case of two inlets) in front of the cutting gap 126 on. This is particularly advantageous if two cutting cylinders 127 are provided. The train groups 142 are then the same distance along the "bundle path" from the assigned cutting gap 126 spaced.

In an advantageous embodiment of a folder 12 - In particular, but not exclusively, for the folder shown and described above 12 - instead of the cutting cylinder (s) 127 ' with two cutting knives arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction 128 a cutting cylinder 127 ' with four cutting knives 128 circumferentially on ( 26 ). Two or more strands or bundles of strands 135 can, for example, before entering the cutting gap 126 over a roller or a pair of rollers 125 - specially powered (as a train group 125 } or without being driven (deflection rollers). In 26 was simplified to simplify the detailed description of the rest of the conveyor system (drive motor 141 powered train group 142 etc.) and the drive motor 136 including the drive train, which is advantageous in one of the above variants (but without the upper cutting cylinder 127 ) can be carried out. The order fang corresponds to four (medium) lengths from the lanes 03 ; 04 to produce signatures. The cutting knives are again in a design as set out above 128 not equidistant on the circumference of the cutting cylinder 127 ' arranged, but alternates an angular segment slightly larger 90 ° and a slightly smaller 90 ° on the circumference.

The four cutting knives 128 or four section lengths (signatures) on the circumference of cutting cylinders 127 ' ("Quadruple-circumference cutting cylinder") enables the use of considerably stronger bearings, a larger pin thickness and / or a stronger construction of the cylinder body itself, which contributes to increasing the stability. It is possible to cut stronger products (more layers) with this, since a higher force For smaller product thicknesses, the cutting accuracy can increase due to the low torsion and / or deflection.

For folders or folders 12 For higher page numbers and higher speeds, in addition to the centrifugal forces, the needling (puncture) or clamping (gripper) and the folding process itself, the cutting process and the cutting performance are also critical parameters. The cutting cylinder 127 ' Quadruple circumference is therefore particularly advantageous in the printing machine described above with triple-wide printing units because of the possibility of cutting strands of large product thicknesses 02 and / or interacting with a seven-field transport cylinder 123 arranged. However, the four-fold version can also be used separately in any web press and / or in combination with multi-field (e.g. five or seven) transport cylinders of other formats to increase accuracy and / or possible product strength. The fourfold cutting cylinder 127 ' leads to less tilting of the cutting knife 128 when hitting a cutting bar on the transport cylinder and in the groove rubber provided there, which means that less cutting power (energy or force) is required than with the double cutting cylinder 127 , The knife is inserted and dipped into the groove rubber at a significantly smaller angle of inclination of the cutting knife 128 , Both the bending and the compression stress of the cutting knife 128 overall is lower than with the double cutting cylinder 127 ,

With the arrangement of a fourfold cutting cylinder 127 ' can do a second double cutting cylinder despite strong products 127 on the circumference of the transport cylinder 123 can then be omitted.

The described designs of the printing units are of great advantage 13 , the superstructure described 04 , the fold structure 11 , the folder 12 and / or the drive concept in connection with a further development described below with regard to the arrangement of an additional printing unit 152 , with one or more additional printing units 151 , especially three-cylinder printing units 151 , and / or the hereby advantageous web guides and / or printed products (see 21 to 25 , whereby identically recurring reference numerals sometimes only in 21 are entered):
The additional printing units 151 or pressure points are preferably corresponding to the printing units 02 as printing units 151 designed for indirect planographic printing, ie they point between the printing point and the forme cylinder 16 a transfer cylinder 17 on.

A printing tower T1; T2; T3 is at least one additional printing unit 152 (Additional printing unit 152 ) with at least one other printing unit 151 , ie associated with at least one pressure point. In particular, the pressure tower T1; T2; T3, however, at least two printing points in one or two printing units 151 assigned, which in a common additional printing unit 152 or in separate additional printing units 152 are arranged. These additional pressure points are advantageously located above the pressure points of the pressure tower T1; T2; T3. The T1 printing tower; T2; T3 preferably has a total of eight pressure points through which z. B. depending on the web guide and characteristics of the printing tower T1; T2; T3 forming printing units 02 one or more lanes B10; B20; B30; B40 can be printed on one or both sides. The printing units 02 of the printing tower T1; T2; T3 are arranged vertically one above the other and are preferably used as satellite printing units 02 executed.

At least two satellite printing units 02 are two additional pressure points, e.g. B. as two three-cylinder printing units 151 formed, assigned, by means of which, for example, two on one side in the at least one pressure tower T1; T2; T3 printed webs B10; B20; B30; B40 can be printed in one color on their other side.

The two satellite printing units 02 are assigned to each other and are components of a pressure tower T1; T2; T3 by means of which optionally two tracks B10; B20; B30; B40 multi-colored on each side or a sheet B10; B20; B30; B40 can be printed on both sides in multiple colors.

The two satellite printing units 02 are stacked on top of each other. They are preferably each as nine-cylinder satellite printing units 02 executed.

A three-cylinder printing unit 151 has a pair of cylinders made of 16 and transfer cylinder 17 and one with one of the transfer cylinders 17 interacting impression cylinder 126 on.

The two three-cylinder printing units 151 are advantageous (installation space, unit) together as a six-cylinder printing unit 152 executed, but can also be designed individually as individual units. It is also possible that only one printing point in the form of, for example, a three-cylinder printing unit 151 above the pressure towers T1; T2; T3 is provided.

The two three-cylinder printing units are advantageous 151 (the six-cylinder printing unit 152 ) above a last printing point of the two assigned satellite snack units 02 arranged. The six-cylinder printing unit 152 is z. B. on the assigned pressure tower T1; T2; T3 stacked. Depending on the production, however, it can be operated on a pressure tower T1; T2; T3 different, especially neighboring, pressure tower T1; T2; T3 may be stacked.

The satellite printing units 02 and the two three-cylinder printing units 151 are assigned to each other in the sense (web technology) that a web can optionally be operated in a first mode by both satellite printing units 02 , in a second mode of operation by one of the satellite printing units 02 and through one of the three-cylinder printing units 151 , and in a third mode of operation only by the two three-cylinder printing units 151 is led.

The satellite printing units 02 and the two three-cylinder printing units 151 are also assigned to each other in the sense (in terms of web technology) in that, in a first operating mode, a first web can optionally be run through both satellite printing units 02 and a second web through the two three-cylinder printing units 151 , and in a second mode of operation two webs each through one of the satellite printing units 02 and through one of the three-cylinder printing units 151 , are led.

Two tracks are e.g. B. in the manner by the pressure tower T1; T2; T3 and the six-cylinder printing unit 152 led that after printing they are printed in one color on one side and in one color on the other side.

One of two tracks is e.g. B. by the pressure tower T1; T2; T3 and another web only through the six-cylinder printing unit 152 guided in such a way that the one side is printed in two colors on both sides and the other side is printed in one color on both sides (S guide) or one side in two colors (C guide, not shown).

At least the printing press has a plurality of two satellite printing units each 02 having printing towers T1; T2; T3 and additionally at least one six-cylinder printing unit 152 on.

The printing machine has e.g. B. at least two, in particular at least three, printing towers T1 adjacent to one another in pairs; T2; T3, the at least one six-cylinder printing unit 152 on one of the two, in particular three, printing towers T1; T2; T3 is stacked. Preferably, no other processing stage, in particular no folding structure and / or folding apparatus, is arranged between the relevant printing towers assigned to one another in the manner mentioned. It is essential that the other printing units 151 above the printing units 13 the printing units 02 are arranged. They are advantageous on one of the T1 printing towers; T2; T3 is stacked.

In the example, the printing press has (at least) three printing towers T1 adjacent to one another in pairs; T2; T3, the at least one six-cylinder printing unit 152 on one of the three printing towers T1; T2; T3 is stacked. The three printing towers T1; T2; T3 is a common six-cylinder printing unit 152 assigned, which is preferably on the middle of the three printing towers T1; T2; T3 is stacked.

Three tracks are e.g. B. in the manner by at least two of the printing towers T1; T2; T3 and the six-cylinder printing unit 152 led that two of the webs are printed in one color on one side and in one color on the other side, and the third web is printed in two colors on both sides ( 23 . 24 ; 25 ).

Two of three webs are in an alternative web guide through at least two of the printing towers T1; T2; T3 and a third web is only through the six-cylinder printing unit 152 in such a way that the first two webs are multicolored on both sides and the third web is monochrome (or two-colored on one side) ( 21 . 22 ).

The printing machine advantageously has means 153 (turning rolls 153 and / or feed paths (not shown) for guiding the webs, which enables the printing machine to be operated selectively in this and the aforementioned productions (only in 23 referred to as an example). In particular, as in 23 marked as an example for the web B20, deflection rollers 153 provided that guiding a path B10; B20; B30; B30 in the additional printing unit 151 enables which previously in a neighboring satellite printing unit 02 , and was not printed in the one directly below. In the case of two, the printing units are preferred 151 B10 to be guided; B20; B30; B30 previously in the two satellite printing units 02 the same printing tower T1; T2; T3 printed ( 23 : Left, 24 : middle, 25 : right).

In an advantageous example, four webs are in the manner through the three printing towers T1; T2; T3 and the six-cylinder printing unit 152 led that two of the webs are printed in one color on one side and in one color on the other side, and the other two webs are printed in two colors on both sides ( 23 to 25 ). In a different path, three out of four paths are through the three printing towers T1; T2; T3 and the fourth web only through the six-cylinder printing unit 152 guided in such a way that the first three webs are multicolored on both sides and the fourth web is monochrome on both sides 21 . 22 ) or printed in two colors on one side (not shown). The printing machine advantageously has the above means 153 for guiding the webs, which enables the printing machine to be operated selectively in accordance with the two (or three) modes of operation mentioned.

The multicolor means in the above ten z. B. four colors.

In one mode of operation of the printing press, the four webs with the three printing towers T1; T2; T3 and the six-cylinder printing unit 152 printed in such a way that the two webs printed on one side and on the other side one-sided after printing on a path to a funnel structure TR or fold structure 11 come to rest between the two webs printed in two colors on both sides ( 24 ). The two webs, which are printed on one side and on the other side on one side, pass through z. B. the middle of the three printing towers T1; T2; T3 and the six-cylinder printing unit 152 ,

In another mode of operation, the four webs with the three printing towers T1; T2; T3 and the six-cylinder printing unit 152 printed in such a way that the two webs, which are printed on one side on one side and on the other side on one side, come to lie below the two webs printed on both sides in multi-color on a path to a funnel structure TR ( 23 ). The two webs, which are printed on one side and on the other side on one side, pass through z. B. the closest to the hopper structure TR of the three printing towers T1; T2; T3 and the six-cylinder printing unit 152 ,

In a further mode of operation, the four webs with the three printing towers T1; T2; T3 and the six-cylinder printing unit 152 printed in such a way that the two webs, which are printed on one side on one side and on the other side on one side, lie on the path to a funnel structure TR above the two webs printed on both sides in multi-color ( 25 ). The two webs, which are printed on one side and on the other side on one side, pass through the three printing towers T1 which are remote from the hopper structure TR; T2; T3 and the six-cylinder printing unit 152 ,

Here too the printing press points preferably means 153 for guiding the webs, which selectively operate the printing machine according to the three the latter operating modes.

The satellite printing unit has several, in particular four, cylinder pairs, each made up of form cylinders and transfer cylinders 17 , and at least one with at least one of the transfer cylinders 17 interacting satellite cylinder 18 on. A satellite cylinder is advantageous for four pairs 18 assigned. However, two satellite cylinders can also be used 18 be with the four couples.

In one embodiment, two of the pairs are drive assemblies by a common drive motor that is independent of the other drive assembly 61 driven. For example, the satellite cylinder 18 (or one of two) driven by one of the drive networks.

The satellite cylinder is advantageous 18 but by at least one own drive motor 61 , powered regardless of the pairs.

With two satellite cylinders 18 can this by at least one common drive motor 61 , be driven together regardless of the pairs.

In an advantageous embodiment, the pairs are each provided with at least one separate drive motor 61 independently driven by the other couples. Each cylinder of the pairs can have its own drive motor 61 exhibit.

In a less complex design, the two cylinders of the pair are coupled and by a common drive motor 61 driven.

An inking system 14 is in a less complex version of the drive of the associated forme cylinder 16 driven here. However, it can also be independent of the drive of the associated forme cylinder 16 with its own drive motor 61 be driven.

The additional printing unit 151 has a pair of cylinders made of 16 and transfer cylinder 17 , and one with one of the transfer cylinders 17 interacting pressure or impression cylinder 18 on. The same applies to a second printing unit provided 151 , The reference numbers here were those of the printing units 02 used because it is also an indirect flat printing process with the corresponding functionality of the cylinder in the illustrated embodiment 16 ; 17 ; 18 is.

Accordingly, the six-cylinder printing unit 152 two pairs of cylinders each made of 16 and transfer cylinder 17 , and one pair with one of the transfer cylinders 17 interacting impression cylinder.

The pair or pairs (of the printing units 151 or the six-cylinder printing unit 152 ) is or are in a preferred embodiment in each case by at least one separate drive motor 61 independently driven by the other pair.

It can e.g. B. each cylinder of the pairs has its own drive motor 61 exhibit. In an advantageous embodiment, however, the two cylinders of the pair are coupled and by a common drive motor 61 , independently of the other pair of cylinders.

An inking system 14 is in a less complex version of the drive of the associated forme cylinder 16 driven here. However, it can also be independent of the drive of the associated forme cylinder 16 with its own drive motor 61 be driven.

In an advantageous embodiment, the impression cylinders are each provided with their own drive motor 61 , regardless of the pairs and driven by each other. This is advantageous with regard to the independent positionability of the two pressures plants.

If necessary, however, the two impression cylinders can be driven by at least one common drive motor 61 , be driven regardless of the pairs.

In the simplest version, the Counter-pressure cylinders each driven by the associated pair his.

In a preferred embodiment, the cylinders of the pairs are each in pairs by a drive motor 61 and the impression cylinders each individually by a drive motor 61 driven.

A printing product (or web strand) can be produced by means of the printing machine, so that of four webs adjacent to each other after printing on the way to the funnel inlet, two webs each are multicolored on one side, in particular four-colored, and monochrome on the other side, and the other two webs multi-colored, in particular four-colored, printed on both sides:
For example, a printed product / strand of four webs viewed from bottom to top with the following colors: bottom web 1: 4 (bottom one color: top four colors), second web from bottom 4: 1, third web from bottom 4: 4 and fourth Lane 4: 4.

For example a printed product / strand viewed from four lanes from bottom to top with the following colors: bottom lane 4: 4 (bottom one color: top four colors), second lane from below 1: 4 third lane from below 4: 1 and fourth Lane 4: 4.

For example a printed product / strand viewed from four lanes from bottom to top with the following colors: bottom lane 4: 4 (bottom one color: top four colors), second lane from below 1: 4 third lane from below 4: 1 and fourth Lane 4: 4.

Furthermore, a printed product can be produced, so that of four webs adjacent to each other after printing on the way to the funnel inlet, three webs are multicolored on both sides, in particular four-colored, and the fourth web is printed monochrome on both sides:
For example, a printed product / strand of four webs viewed from bottom to top with the following colors: bottom web 4: 4 (bottom one color: top four colors), second web from bottom 1: 1, third web from bottom 4: 4 and fourth Lane 4: 4.

For example, a first printed product / strand from four lanes from bottom to top with the following colors: bottom lane 4: 4 (bottom one color: top four colors), second lane from below 4: 4 third lane from below 1: 1 and fourth Lane 4: 4.

The described configuration of the printing press, in particular with the six-cylinder printing unit 152 , allows the diversity described in production without the need for reversible printing units. The cylinders of the satellite printing units 02 and the six-cylinder printing unit 152 can always be operated in the same direction of rotation. This has advantages with regard to the use of mini-gap technology, ie the narrow opening 28 , and in terms of the effort in equipment and drive.

The printing machine is e.g. B. with printing units that have a width of six widths of standing print pages, especially in newspaper format. The circumference of at least the forme cylinder 16 corresponds essentially to the length of two lengths of two printed pages, especially in newspaper format.
