Definitions
- the invention relates to a printing unit for an offset rotary printing press with at least one blanket cylinder assigned to a plate cylinder, onto which an underlying blanket can be clamped.
- Printing units of this type are generally known (for example Walenski "Introduction to offset printing”).
- the vibration behavior of the cylinders involved in the printing is increasingly noticeable on the printed product.
- the printing unit cylinders in particular blanket cylinders and plate cylinders, are mainly caused to oscillate when the cylinder pits overflow.
- Such undesirable vibrations can also occur when changing the flanks of the gears of the drive of the printing couple cylinders and of the dampening and inking units.
- the following prior publications exemplify the efforts of the professional world to eliminate such vibrations, to dampen them or to prevent them from occurring: DE-C-26 13 688, DE-B-11 93 516, DE-C-11 93 516.
- FIG. 1 shows two plate cylinders 1, 2 which can be adjusted on two blanket cylinders 3 and 4.
- a print carrier 5 for example a paper web, can be printed on both sides.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that although each printing machine series shows a characteristic vibration behavior, but that each printing machine also has a special, that is to say individual, vibration behavior, which is also speed-dependent. Evidence of this is provided by tests on printed copies of different machines of the same series, which are produced at different speeds. In particular, differences in the intensity of the printing inks vary according to their location and thickness in accordance with the selected working speeds of the machine at which printing is carried out. Building on this finding, documents 6, 7, 8 are created for the rubber blankets to be stretched, which have different thicknesses when viewed in the circumferential direction of the cylinders 3, 4. A special pad 6 to 9 is produced for each individual machine for different speed or working ranges. This is done by determining the position and intensity fluctuation of so-called print strips on the printed copy, and depending on this, the thickness of the base to be used for this speed range is determined.
- a base 6 is produced for a specific speed, which has a thickened area 10 and thin areas 11.
- the thickened area 10 can come to rest, for example, where the cylinders carrying the pressure carrier 5, here 3 and 4, swing apart at a certain speed range. This could due to the decreasing pressure in the transfer of color to the print carrier 5, the color intensity decrease. At this point the thickened area 10 on the base 6 counteracts the decreasing pressure between the cylinders.
- the documents 7, 8, 9 according to FIGS. 2b, c and d were created in a corresponding manner for other speeds, at which, as already mentioned, a different vibration pattern has to be taken into account.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Druckwerk für eine Offset-Rotationsdruckmaschine mit mindestens einem, einem Plattenzylinder zugeordneten Gummituchzylinder, auf den ein unterlegtes Gummituch aufspannbar ist.The invention relates to a printing unit for an offset rotary printing press with at least one blanket cylinder assigned to a plate cylinder, onto which an underlying blanket can be clamped.
Derartige Druckwerke sind allgemein bekannt (beispielsweise Walenski "Einführung in den Offsetdruck").Printing units of this type are generally known (for example Walenski "Introduction to offset printing").
Bei hohen Arbeitsgeschwindigkeiten einer Rotationsdruckmaschine macht sich das Schwingungsverhalten der am Druck beteiligten Zylinder zunehmend auf dem Druckprodukt bemerkbar. Bekanntlich werden die Druckwerkzylinder, insbesondere Gummituchzylinder und Plattenzylinder, vorwiegend beim Überlaufen der Zylindergruben zum Schwingen angeregt. Auch beim Flankenwechsel der Zahnräder des Antriebes der Druckwerkzylinder sowie der Feucht- und Farbwerke können derartige unerwünschte Schwingungen entstehen. Die folgenden Vorveröffentlichungen zeigen beispielhaft die Bemühungen der Fachwelt, derartige Schwingungen zu eliminieren, zu dämpfen bzw. am Entstehen zu verhindern: DE-C-26 13 688, DE-B-11 93 516, DE-C-11 93 516.At high working speeds of a rotary printing press, the vibration behavior of the cylinders involved in the printing is increasingly noticeable on the printed product. As is known, the printing unit cylinders, in particular blanket cylinders and plate cylinders, are mainly caused to oscillate when the cylinder pits overflow. Such undesirable vibrations can also occur when changing the flanks of the gears of the drive of the printing couple cylinders and of the dampening and inking units. The following prior publications exemplify the efforts of the professional world to eliminate such vibrations, to dampen them or to prevent them from occurring: DE-C-26 13 688, DE-B-11 93 516, DE-C-11 93 516.
Aus der GB-A-1 065 727 ist auch bekannt, Druckunterlagen mit bezogen auf den Umfang unterschiedlicher Dicke zu verwenden. Damit wird die Verwendung verschieden dicker Platten bzw. Druckformen ermöglicht.From GB-A-1 065 727 it is also known to use printing documents with different thicknesses in relation to the circumference. This enables the use of plates and printing forms of different thicknesses.
Ein durchschlagender Erfolg ist bis zum heutigen Tage jedoch nicht erreicht worden. Insbesondere weisen all diese bekannten Vorschläge den Nachteil auf, daß die zur Unterdrückung der Biegeschwingungen eingesetzten Maßnahmen direkt am Zylinder vorgenommen wurden, was zum einen einen erheblichen Fertigungsaufwand bedeutet und zum anderen aber keine für jede spezielle Maschine und Geschwindigkeit erforderliche Gegenkorrektur der Biegeschwingungen ermöglicht.A resounding success has not been achieved to date. In particular, all of these known proposals have the disadvantage that the measures used to suppress the bending vibrations were carried out directly on the cylinder, which on the one hand means a considerable manufacturing outlay and on the other hand does not allow any counter-correction of the bending vibrations required for each special machine and speed.
Lediglich innerhalb bestimmter Baureihen werden für jede Maschine die gleichen Maßnahmen getroffen. Fällt hingegen eine Maschine einer Baureihe in ihrem Schwingungsverhalten aus der für diese Baureihe ermittelten Schwingungscharakteristik heraus, so läßt sich nur schwer nachträglich eine individuelle Korrektur durch führen.The same measures are taken for each machine only within certain series. On the other hand, if a machine of a series falls out of its vibration behavior from the vibration characteristics determined for this series, it is difficult to carry out an individual correction afterwards.
Demnach ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Maßnahme aufzuzeigen, mit der die Auswirkungen des Schwingungsverhaltens einer jeden Maschine auf den Druckprodukten individuell eliminiert oder zumindest reduziert werden können. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung der Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung und aus den Unteransprüchen in Verbindung mit den Zeichnungen. In diesen zeigen:
- Fig. 1 eine herkömmliche Offset-Rotationsdruckmaschine und
- Fig. 2a-d spezielle bestimmten Arbeitsgeschwindigkeiten zugeordnete Gummituchunterlagen.
- Fig. 1 shows a conventional offset rotary printing machine and
- 2a-d rubber blanket pads associated with specific working speeds.
Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte schematische Druckwerksaufbau läßt zwei Plattenzylinder 1, 2 erkennen, die an zwei Gummituchzylindern 3 und 4 anstellbar sind. Mit einer derartigen Zylinderkonfiguration kann ein Druckträger 5, beispielsweise eine Papierbahn, beidseitig bedruckt werden.The schematic printing unit structure shown in FIG. 1 shows two
Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß zwar jede Druckmaschinenbaureihe ein charakteristisches Schwingungsverhalten zeigt, daß aber darüber hinaus bei einer jeden Druckmaschine ein spezielles, das heißt individuelles Schwingungsverhalten gegeben ist, das zudem drehzahlabhängig ist. Den Nachweis hierfür erbringen Untersuchungen an Druckexemplaren verschiedener Maschinen der gleichen Baureihe, die bei unterschiedlichen Drehzahlen erzeugt werden. Insbesondere Intensitätsunterschiede der Druckfarben variieren nach örtlicher Lage und Stärke entsprechend den jeweiligen gewählten Arbeitsgeschwindigkeiten der Maschine, bei denen gedruckt wird. Auf dieser Erkenntnis aufbauend werden erfindungsgemäß für die aufzuspannenden Gummitücher Unterlagen 6, 7, 8, geschaffen, die in Umfangsrichtung der Zylinder 3, 4 gesehen unterschiedliche Stärken aufweisen. Für jede einzelne Maschine wird für verschiedene Drehzahl- bzw. Arbeitsbereiche eine spezielle Unterlage 6 bis 9 hergestellt. Dies geschieht dadurch, daß am Druckexemplar die Lage und Intensitätsschwankung von sogenannten Druckstreifen ermittelt wird und in Abhängigkeit davon wird die Dicke der für diesen Drehzahlbereich zu verwendenden Unterlage festgelegt.The invention is based on the knowledge that although each printing machine series shows a characteristic vibration behavior, but that each printing machine also has a special, that is to say individual, vibration behavior, which is also speed-dependent. Evidence of this is provided by tests on printed copies of different machines of the same series, which are produced at different speeds. In particular, differences in the intensity of the printing inks vary according to their location and thickness in accordance with the selected working speeds of the machine at which printing is carried out. Building on this finding,
Gemäß Fig. 2a wird eine Unterlage 6 für eine bestimmte Drehzahl hergestellt, die einen verdickten Bereich 10 und dünne Bereiche 11 aufweist. Der verdickte Bereich 10 kann beispielsweise dort zu liegen kommen, wo bei einem bestimmten Drehzahlbereich die den Druckträger 5 führenden Zylinder, hier 3 und 4, auseinanderschwingen. Dadurch würde u.U. infolge des sich vermindernden Druckes bei der Übertragung der Farbe auf den Druckträger 5 die Farbintensität zurückgehen. An dieser Stelle wirkt dem sich abbauenden Druck zwischen den Zylindern der verdickte Bereich 10 auf der Unterlage 6 entgegen. Die Unterlagen 7, 8,9 gemäß Fig. 2b, c und d wurden in entsprechender Weise für andere Drehzahlen geschaffen, bei denen, wie bereits erwähnt, jeweils ein anderes Schwingungsmuster zu berücksichtigen ist.According to FIG. 2a, a
Wie die vorangehenden Darlegungen zeigen, ergeben sich unter Anwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre die Vorteile, ohne aufwendige Bearbeitung der Druckwerkzylinder den Zylinderschwingungen hinsichtlich ihrer unerwünschten Auswirkung bei jedem Geschwindigkeitsbereich individuell entgegentreten zu können, so daß eine merkliche Verbesserung der Qualität der Druckexemplare zu erwarten ist, die durch Anwendung dieser Maßnahmen hergestellt werden.As the above explanations show, using the teaching according to the invention results in the advantages of being able to individually counteract the cylinder vibrations with regard to their undesirable effect at any speed range without complex processing of the printing couple cylinders, so that a noticeable improvement in the quality of the printed copies can be expected, which is due to Application of these measures.
