Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Offsetdruckmaschine mit einem Feucht- und einem Farbwerk, durch welche jeweils Feuchtflüssigkeit bzw. Farbe vermittels aufeinander abrollender Walzen der Druckplatte eines Plattenzylinders zuführbar ist, wobei die Dosierung der Zufuhr durch Veränderung der Walzenbeistellung dosierbar ist.The invention relates to an offset printing machine with a dampening unit and an inking unit, through which dampening liquid or ink can be supplied to the printing plate of a plate cylinder by means of rollers rolling on one another, the metering of the supply being meterable by changing the roller supply.

Beim lithographischen Druckverfahren müssen bekanntlich Druckfarbe und zuvor Feuchtflüssigkeit auf die Druckplatte aufgebracht werden. Dies geschieht in den meisten Fällen durch Walzen, durch welche die Flüssigkeit einem Reservoir entnommen und auf die Druckplatte aufgewalzt wird. Die Dosierung erfolgt dabei in der Regel durch Veränderung des Anpressdrucks zwischen zwei Walzen, also der Walzenbeistellung, oder durch Veränderung der Drehzahl der Walzen, insbesondere der Drehzahl der Duktorwalze.In the lithographic printing process, it is known that printing ink and previously dampening fluid must be applied to the printing plate. In most cases, this is done by rollers, through which the liquid is removed from a reservoir and rolled onto the pressure plate. The metering is generally carried out by changing the contact pressure between two rollers, that is to say the roller supply, or by changing the speed of the rollers, in particular the speed of the duct roller.

Es ist auch bereits bekannt, die Dosierung durch mechanische oder mit Luft arbeitende Rakeln vorzunehmen. Derartige Dosiereinrichtungen sind durch die DE-C-1 055 011 und die DE-B-1 268 154 bekannt und eignen sich besonders für das zonenweise Regeln der Flüssigkeitszufuhr in Walzenachsrichtung.It is also already known to carry out the metering using mechanical or air-operated doctor blades. Dosing devices of this type are known from DE-C-1 055 011 and DE-B-1 268 154 and are particularly suitable for the zone-wise regulation of the liquid supply in the roll axis direction.

Erhebliche Störungen in der Feuchtflüssigkeits- bzw. Farbzufuhr treten aber nach Maschinenstoppern auf. Eine gleichzeitige Zufuhr von Feuchtflüssigkeit und Farbe pendelt sich nach derartigen Stoppern erst ein, wenn bereits eine grössere Anzahl von minderwertigen Drucken entstanden ist. Diese Störungen sind deshalb so gravierend, weil kurzzeitig bei Stoppern weder Farbe noch Feuchtflüssigkeit an den Bedruckstoff abgegeben werden kann. Demzufolge ist auch die Aufnahme durch die Druckplatte erheblich verringert. Die Unterbrechung der Feuchtflüssigkeits-und Farbzufuhrzur Druckplatte löst dieses Problem nicht, weil einerseits die Druckplatte nach kurzer Zeit durch Verdunstung abtrocknet, wodurch ebenfalls Schwierigkeiten bei Wiederaufnahme des Druckvorgangs entstehen, und weil andererseits nach Lösen des Berührungskontaktes zwischen Feucht- und Farbwerk und Druckplatte - also beim Abstellen der Auftragwalzen - die Bedingungen im Feucht-und vor allem Farbwerk geändert werden. Im Farbwerk wird das während des Fortdruckes von Walze zu Walze sich einstellende Schichtdickengefälle gestört: es tritt auf den Auftragwalzen ein Stau auf, der beim Wiederanstellen der Auftragwalzen eine Überfärbung der Druckplatte verursacht.Significant disturbances in the supply of damp liquid or ink occur after machine stops. A simultaneous supply of dampening fluid and ink only settles after such stoppers when a large number of inferior prints have already been created. These faults are so serious because, for a short time, no ink or dampening liquid can be released to the substrate. As a result, the uptake by the pressure plate is also considerably reduced. The interruption of the supply of dampening fluid and ink to the printing plate does not solve this problem because, on the one hand, the printing plate dries after a short time due to evaporation, which also causes difficulties when the printing process is restarted, and on the other hand, after the contact between the dampening and inking unit and the printing plate has been released, that is Parking the application rollers - the conditions in the dampening unit and especially the inking unit are changed. In the inking unit, the difference in layer thickness that occurs during continuous printing from roller to roller is disturbed: a build-up occurs on the application rollers, which causes the printing plate to over-color when the application rollers are reset.

Es ist deshalb durch die DE-C-2 456 985 bereits vorgeschlagen worden, den Durchfluss von Feuchtflüssigkeit durch das Feuchtwerk bei Stoppern zu drosseln und eine bestimmte Menge von Feuchtflüssigkeit auf der Druckplatte durch periodisches An-und Abstellen der Auftragwalzen während des Stoppers zu erhalten. Die Drosselung des Durchsatzes erfolgt durch entsprechendes Regeln der Drehzahl der Feuchtkastenwalze. Durch dieses Verfahren konnte aber trotz erheblichen Aufwands kein übergangsloser Wiederfortdruck erzielt werden.It has therefore already been proposed by DE-C-2 456 985 to restrict the flow of dampening liquid through the dampening unit in stoppers and to obtain a certain amount of dampening liquid on the printing plate by periodically turning the applicator rollers on and off during the stopper. The throughput is throttled by regulating the speed of the dampening roller. With this method, however, no seamless re-printing could be achieved despite considerable effort.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die durch kurzzeitige Maschinenstopper in der Farb- und Feuchtflüssigkeitszufuhrverursachten Störungen zu mildern bzw. zu eliminieren.The invention has for its object to mitigate or eliminate the disturbances caused by short-term machine stoppers in the ink and dampening liquid supply.

Diese Aufgabe wird überraschend durch den kennzeichnenden Teil des ersten Anspruchs gelöst. Abweichend vom Stand der Technik wird die Zufuhr der Feuchtflüssigkeit zur Druckplatte bei Abstellung des Druckes kontinuierlich beibehalten. Eine Übersättigung der Druckplatte mit Feuchtflüssigkeit wird aber dadurch verhindert, dass in dem Augenblick, in dem eine Entnahme von Feuchtflüssigkeit von der Druckplatte durch den Druckträger über den Gummituchzylinder entfällt, eine Ersatzentnahme durch Einschalten der erfindungsgemässen Rakeleinrichtung erfolgt. Diese Ersatzentnahme wird entsprechend der speziellen Ausführungsform der Erfindung an einer Walze des Feuchtwerks oder an der Druckplatte durchgeführt. In jedem Fall ist Sorge dafür zu tragen, dass der Fluss der Feuchtflüssigkeit unverändert aufrechterhalten bleibt und der Fortdruck im Augenblick des Wiederanstellens des Druckes erfolgen kann.This object is surprisingly achieved by the characterizing part of the first claim. Deviating from the prior art, the supply of the dampening fluid to the printing plate is continuously maintained when the pressure is turned off. Over-saturation of the printing plate with dampening fluid is prevented, however, in that, at the moment when removal of dampening fluid from the printing plate by the printing medium via the blanket cylinder is no longer required, a replacement removal takes place by switching on the doctor device according to the invention. This replacement removal is carried out in accordance with the special embodiment of the invention on a roller of the dampening unit or on the pressure plate. In any case, care must be taken to ensure that the flow of the dampening liquid remains unchanged and that printing can continue at the moment the pressure is restored.

In einer besonders günstigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist in dem Farbwerksantrieb eine bereits aus der DE-C-2 456 985 bekannte Kupplung vorgesehen, durch deren Betätigung das Rotieren der Farbwalzen unterbrochen wird, während gleichzeitig die Farbauftragwalzen vom Plattenzylinder abgestellt werden.In a particularly favorable embodiment of the invention, a clutch, already known from DE-C-2 456 985, is provided in the inking unit drive, the actuation of which disables the rotation of the inking rollers, while at the same time the inking rollers are switched off by the plate cylinder.

Damit ist erreicht, dass das Farbschichtdickengefälle von Walze zu Walze von der Farbkastenwalze angefangen bis zu den Auftragwalzen, wie es sich nach einer längeren Zeit des Fortdruckes einstellt, während der Zeit der Druckunterbrechung ebenfalls erhalten bleibt.It is thus achieved that the ink layer thickness gradient from roller to roller starts from the ink fountain roller to the application rollers, as is the case after a longer period of production, is also retained during the time of the printing interruption.

Durch die bezüglich Feuchtwerk und Farbwerk im Grunde unterschiedlichen Massnahmen ist gewährleistet, dass zum Zeitpunkt des Wiederanstellens des Druckes, also bei Wiederdruckbeginn, bezüglich des Feuchtwerks als auch bezüglich des Farbwerks Fortdruckbedingungen vorliegen. Damit ist erstmals sichergestellt, dass ein Fortdruck nach Stoppern ohne jegliche Makulaturvorgabe möglich ist, wodurch eine erhebliche Steigerung der effektiven Druckleistung und eine Minderung der Ausschussquote erreicht ist.The measures, which are fundamentally different with regard to the dampening unit and inking unit, ensure that at the time of restarting the print, that is to say at the start of reprinting, further printing conditions are present with regard to the dampening unit and also with regard to the inking unit. This ensures for the first time that continued printing after stoppers is possible without any waste specification, which results in a significant increase in the effective printing performance and a reduction in the reject rate.

Insbesondere werden bei Anwendung einer Flüssigkeitskupplung günstige Werte deshalb erreicht, weil damit eine sanfte Kraftübertragung mit entsprechender Schwingungsdämpfung erreicht wird. Stösse in der Momentübertragung führen aber zur Beeinträchtigung der Farbzufuhr.In particular, when using a fluid coupling, favorable values are achieved because a gentle power transmission with corresponding vibration damping is achieved. But shocks in the moment transfer lead to impairment of the ink supply.

Als besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, die Rakeleinrichtung als Luftrakel mit an- und abschaltbarer Luftzufuhr auszubilden. Hier hat es sich gezeigt, dass im Feuchtwerk und auf der Druckplatte quasi Fortdruckbedingungen auch während längerer Stopper erhalten werden können, die durch Steuern oder Regeln beispielsweise der Duktordrehzahl äusseren Bedingungen, wie Raumklima usw., noch angepasst werden können.It has proven to be particularly advantageous to design the squeegee device as an air knife with an air supply that can be switched on and off. It has been shown here that in the dampening unit and on the printing plate, quasi-continuous printing conditions can also be obtained even during longer stoppers, which can be adjusted by controlling or regulating, for example, the ductor's external conditions, such as room climate, etc.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand nachfolgender schematischer Zeichnung noch ausführlicher beschrieben. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine Einfarbenoffsetdruckmaschine mit Farb- und Feuchtwerk,
  • Fig. 2 einen Ausschnitt der Maschine gemäss Fig. 1 im Zustand eines Maschinenstoppers und
  • Fig. 3 ein schematisches Schaltbild.
An embodiment of the invention is described in more detail with reference to the following schematic drawing. It shows:
  • 1 shows a single-color offset printing machine with inking and dampening units,
  • 2 shows a section of the machine according to FIG. 1 in the state of a machine stopper and
  • Fig. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram.

Die Offsetmaschine nach Fig. 1 besteht aus einem Anleger 1, durch den die zu bedruckenden Bogen von einem Stapel 2 vereinzelt und der Druckmaschine über einen Anlegetisch 3 zugeführt werden. Die Bogen werden an den rotierenden Gegendruckzylinder 4 übergeben, von dem sie von einem endlosen Kettenförderer 5 übernommen und auf einen Stapel 6 abgelegt werden. Die Farbe wird dem Plattenzylinder 7 durch ein Walzenfarbwerk 8 zugeführt. Die für den Offsetprozess notwendige Feuchtflüssigkeit wird dem Plattenzylinder 7, bzw. der darauf befestigten, aber nicht weiter dargestellten lithographischen Druckplatte, durch ein konventionelles Walzenfeuchtwerk 9 zugeführt. Dieses besteht hier aus vier Walzen, einer Auftragwalze 30, einer Übertragwalze 44, einer Dosierwalze 33, sowie einer durch einen Motor 45 angetriebenen Duktorwalze 46. Die auf dem Plattenzylinder 7 aufgebrachte Farbe wird auf die Druckbogen unter Zwischenschaltung eines Übertragungszylinders (Gummizylinder 10) aufgebracht.1 consists of a feeder 1 through which the sheets to be printed are separated from a stack 2 and fed to the printing press via a feed table 3. The sheets are transferred to the rotating impression cylinder 4, from which they are taken over by an endless chain conveyor 5 and placed on a stack 6. The ink is fed to the plate cylinder 7 through a roller inking unit 8. The dampening fluid required for the offset process is fed to the plate cylinder 7, or the lithographic printing plate fastened thereon, but not shown, by a conventional roller dampening unit 9. This consists of four rollers, an applicator roller 30, a transfer roller 44, a metering roller 33, and a ductor roller 46 driven by a motor 45. The ink applied to the plate cylinder 7 is applied to the printing sheets with the interposition of a transfer cylinder (rubber cylinder 10).

In Fig. 2 sind die wesentlichen Merkmale der Erfindung dargestellt. Das Farbwerk 8 besteht aus einer grösseren Anzahl von Walzen, von denen nicht alle dargestellt sind. Diese werden vom Plattenzylinder 7 über ein Kegelradpaar 11, 12, eine Welle 13 und ein weiteres Kegelradpaar 14, 15 angetrieben, wobei der Antrieb der Farbtrommel 16 zugeleitet wird. Von dort werden die einzelnen Walzen, insbesondere die Verreibwalze 17, 18 durch Stirnradzahnräder angetrieben. Die Auftragwalzen 40, 41, 42, 43 dagegen sind nicht formschlüssig, sondern durch Umfangsreibung angetrieben. Der Antriebswelle 13 ist eine Kupplung 21 zugeordnet, die durch einen Magneten 22 betätigt werden kann. Der Magnet 22 wird durch einen Endschalter 23 unter Betätigung eines Schaltschützes 24 ausgelöst. Der Gummizylinder 10 ist in bekannter Weise in einer exzentrisch gebohrten Lagerbüchse 25 gelagert, von dem nur ein Koppelglied 26 dargestellt ist, verdreht und damit der Gummizylinder in seine Position zum Plattenzylinder verstellt werden kann. Der oben genannte Endschalter 23 kommt mit einem an der Buchse 25 vorgesehenen Ansatz 27 dann in Kontakt und schaltet damit die Kupplung 21, wenn der Gummizylinder 10 vom Plattenzylinder 7 abgestellt ist (in Fig. 2 abgestellte Lage gezeigt). Der Antrieb für das Farbwerk 8 wird somit unterbrochen und die zum Zeitpunkt der Druckabstellung auf den einzelnen Walzen des Farbwerks jeweils vorhandenen Farbschichtdicken bleiben bestehen, d.h. es findet keine Erhöhung der Schichtdicke auf den Auftragwalzen statt, so dass bei Wiederaufnahme des Druckes sofort ein richtig dosiertes Farbangebot vorliegt.2 shows the essential features of the invention. The inking unit 8 consists of a larger number of rollers, not all of which are shown. These are driven by the plate cylinder 7 via a pair of bevel gears 11, 12, a shaft 13 and a further pair of bevel gears 14, 15, the drive being fed to the ink drum 16. From there, the individual rollers, in particular the distributor roller 17, 18, are driven by spur gear wheels. The application rollers 40, 41, 42, 43, however, are not positive, but driven by circumferential friction. The drive shaft 13 is assigned a clutch 21 which can be actuated by a magnet 22. The magnet 22 is triggered by a limit switch 23 by actuating a contactor 24. The rubber cylinder 10 is mounted in a known manner in an eccentrically drilled bearing bush 25, of which only one coupling member 26 is shown, rotated so that the rubber cylinder can be adjusted in its position relative to the plate cylinder. The above-mentioned limit switch 23 then comes into contact with a shoulder 27 provided on the bushing 25 and thus switches the clutch 21 when the rubber cylinder 10 is switched off from the plate cylinder 7 (position shown in FIG. 2 shown). The drive for the inking unit 8 is thus interrupted and the ink layer thicknesses present at the time of the printing shutdown on the individual rollers of the inking unit remain, i.e. there is no increase in the layer thickness on the application rollers, so that when the printing is resumed, the correct amount of ink is immediately available.

Ein qualitativ zufriedenstellender Druck ist aber nur möglich, wenn die Feuchtung der Druckplatte in gleicher Weise wohldosiert mit Druckbeginn erfolgen kann. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass bei Druckunterbrechung die Feuchtauftragwalzen 30 an den Plattenzylinder 7 angestellt bleiben. Ein Überfeuchten der Druckplatte wird dadurch verhindert, dass mit Druckabstellung, also ebenfalls bei und durch Betätigung des Endschalters 23 ein Magnetventil 31 angesteuert wird, durch welches die Luftzufuhr für eine Luftrakel 32 geöffnet wird. Die Luftrakel 32 besteht aus einem sich längs der Walze 33 erstreckenden, mit Öffnungen versehenen Rohr. Die Öffnungen können durch einen Drehschiebergriff 35 in ihrer Grösse verändert werden. Dies erfolgt hier von Hand, durch Anordnung von entsprechenden fernbedienbaren Stellorganen ist aber auch eine Fernsteuerung möglich.A qualitatively satisfactory print is only possible, however, if the printing plate can be dampened in the same way in a well-dosed manner at the start of printing. This is achieved in that when the pressure is interrupted, the dampening rollers 30 remain in contact with the plate cylinder 7. An over-moistening of the pressure plate is prevented by activating a solenoid valve 31, by means of which the air supply for an air doctor blade 32 is opened, when the pressure is switched off, ie also when and by actuating the limit switch 23. The air doctor blade 32 consists of a tube which extends along the roller 33 and is provided with openings. The openings can be changed in size by means of a rotary slide handle 35. This is done by hand, but remote control is also possible by arranging appropriate remote-controlled actuators.

Ferner ist es wahlweise vorgesehen, dass die Walzen innerhalb des Farbwerks in mehrere Gruppen zusammengefasst sind, deren gegenseitiger Kontakt mit der Druckabstellung gekoppelt unterbrochen wird.Furthermore, it is optionally provided that the rollers within the inking unit are grouped into several groups, the mutual contact of which is interrupted coupled with the printing cut-off.
