Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for engraving rotogravure cylinders and similar printing forms according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the up and down movement of the engraving stylus is generated by a control signal which is derived from an image signal obtained by scanning a template.
  • a raster frequency which defines the raster width is superimposed on this control signal.
  • the continuously oscillating engraving stylus sinks into the surface of the gravure cylinder.
  • the engraving stylus cuts out raster cups that vary in depth and surface size according to the tonal value.
  • the present invention is based on the object of providing an engraving device of the type mentioned at the outset, with which the disruptive effects of unevenness on the surface of the printing cylinder on the engraving thereof can be largely avoided in the simplest possible manner.
  • the present invention is based on the finding that the scanning element which is in contact with the printing cylinder and follows the unevenness of the surface thereof is set into vibrations which are transmitted to the holder, which is thereby excited to produce natural vibrations.
  • the vibrations of the holder are in turn transferred to the engraving tool, which influences its controlled oscillation movement. This in turn affects the cutting process and the design of the grid cells.
  • an engraving device for engraving printing cylinders in which the engraving stylus is moved in a translatory manner by excitation of electromagnets by means of control pulses.
  • the engraving stylus is supported at its rear end on compression springs, which also determine the pressure with which the engraving stylus is pressed against the pressure cylinder when the electromagnet is excited.
  • the support members resting on the lateral surface of the pressure cylinder are fastened to a holder without the interposition of a damping arrangement, in which the engraving stylus and the electromagnets are also mounted.
  • the cliché 1 shown in FIGS. 1-3 has a plurality of engraving heads 2 of known construction, of which only one is shown in the figures.
  • the engraving head 2 is fastened on a carriage 4 which can be moved in the direction of the arrows C, D.
  • a clamping device 5 which is only shown schematically in FIG. 3.
  • the holder 3 consists of a lower part 6 and an upper part 7.
  • the lower part 6 is attached to the carriage 4 and connected to the upper part 7 via leaf springs 8 (FIG. 1).
  • the upper holder part 7 can thus be fixed by a leaf spring 8 and pivot the axis extending at right angles to the direction of movement C, D of the carriage 4 relative to the lower holder part 6, as is known per se.
  • An elongated scanning element 9 is held in the upper holder part 7, the tip 9a of which protrudes.
  • an engraving stylus 10 is mounted in the holder part 7, the cutting tip of which is designated 10a.
  • the engraving stylus 10 performs an up and down movement in a known manner, not shown.
  • the upper part 7 of the holder 3 is moved by moving the carriage 4 in the direction of arrow C and tilting it about the axis defined by the leaf springs 8 against the gravure cylinder 11 to be engraved, until the scanning element 9 with its tip 9a with a certain pressure abuts the surface of the impression cylinder 11.
  • the scanning element 9 passes through a through hole 12 formed in the holder part 7.
  • this through hole 12 there is a clamping sleeve 13 surrounding the shaft 9b of the scanning element 9, which tapers conically towards the tip 9a of the scanning element 9.
  • the through hole 12 has a corresponding conical taper.
  • the metallic clamping sleeve 13 is provided with an internal thread, not shown in FIG.
  • a fine thread into which an external thread, also not shown in FIG. 1, engages, which is formed on the shaft 9b of the scanning element 9.
  • a clamping sleeve 14 which is provided with an external thread, also not shown in FIG. 1, which cooperates with a thread in the interior of the through bore 12.
  • the clamping sleeve 14 is by means of a Tool rotated, which can be inserted through an opening 15 in the holder part 7 (Fig. 2).
  • the scanning element 9 is connected at its rear end to a handwheel or adjusting knob 16, by means of which the scanning element 9 can be rotated and screwed more or less far into the clamping sleeve 13.
  • a scale 17 interacts with the handwheel 16 and is attached to the upper holder part 7.
  • a damping element 18 which acts directly on the scanning element 9 or the handwheel 16 is provided, which has a cylindrical housing 19 in which a piston 20 (FIG. 1) is displaceably guided.
  • This piston 20 is supported on a compression spring 21 accommodated in the housing 19, as can be seen in FIG. 1.
  • a plunger 22 is connected to the piston 20 and engages with its free end in a recess 23 in the handwheel 16. It is of course also conceivable not to connect the plunger 22 directly as shown, but via an intermediate piece to the scanning element 9 or the handwheel 16. The plunger 22 is in loose engagement with the recess 23 so that a certain relative movement between the plunger 22 and the scanning element 9 or the handwheel 16 is possible.
  • the damping element 18 is attached to a holder 24 which is separate from the holder 3 for the scanning element 9 and the engraving stylus 10. However, the holder 24 is also fastened on the carriage 4 and can be moved together with the holder 3 in the direction of the arrow C, D.
  • the clamping sleeve 13 can also be designed differently than as shown in FIG. 1.
  • a possible variant is shown in Fig. 4 and in DE-PS 36 19 320.
  • the sleeve 13 shown in FIG. 4 and having a through opening 13a consists of two interconnected parts 27 and 28.
  • the outer sleeve part 27 is conically tapered at its end 27a facing the tip 9a of the scanning element 9.
  • the inner sleeve part 28 is provided with an internal thread 29, which is a fine thread, into which the shaft 9b of the scanning element 9 carrying an external thread 30 is screwed.
  • a sleeve-like damping element 31 is arranged between the two sleeve parts 27 and 28, which connects the two sleeve parts 27 and 28 on the one hand and on the other hand separates them.
  • This damping element 31 consists of an elastically deformable, energy-absorbing material, preferably an elastomer.
  • Butyl rubber has proven to be a particularly suitable material. However, it is entirely possible to use natural or nitrile rubber or other types of rubber or rubber. Basically, any material is suitable for the damping element 31 which, on the one hand, completely or at least for the most part or completely suppresses vibration transmission from the scanning element 9 or from the sleeve part 28 connected to it to the outer sleeve part 27 and thus the holder 3 or its upper part 7 prevents and which on the other hand creates a sufficiently rigid connection between the sleeve parts 27, 28 so that a firm and precise guidance of the scanning element 9 in the clamping sleeve 13 is ensured.
  • the clamping sleeve 14, which is arranged coaxially to the clamping sleeve 13 in the through hole 12 in the upper holder part 7, is provided with provided with an external thread 32. The latter is in engagement with a thread 33 provided on the inside of the through hole 12.
  • the diameter of the through hole 14a in the clamping sleeve 14 is somewhat larger than the outside diameter of the shaft 9b of the scanning element 9. Between the latter and the wall of the through hole 14a, an intermediate space 34 of annular cross section is thus formed.
  • the clamping sleeve 14 is provided on its inside with a circumferential groove 35 which is open towards the through hole 14a.
  • a damping element 36 in the form of an O-ring is arranged in this groove 35 on the shaft 9b of the scanning element 9. This damping member 36 serves to guide the scanning member 9 on the one hand and on the other hand to suppress or prevent the transmission of vibrations of the scanning member 9 to the clamping sleeve 14 and thus the holder 3 or its upper part 7.
  • the scanning element 9 is decoupled via the damping element 31 and the damping element 36 from the upper holder part 7 and thus also from the engraving stylus 10.
  • vibrations of the scanning element 9 are caused by the damping elements 31 and 36 on it prevented from being transferred to the outer sleeve part 27 or the clamping sleeve 14.
  • This configuration of the mounting of the scanning element 9 thus additionally contributes to the described damping of the movements of the scanning element 9 by the damping element 18, so that the inevitable movements of the scanning element 9 in the direction of its longitudinal axis 9 'cannot have a disruptive effect on the engraving of the grid cells.
  • the damping element 18 could also be designed such that the piston 20 is acted upon on both sides by spring elements or a pressure medium.
  • the damping element 19 could also move the scanning element 9 towards the pressure cylinder 11, i.e. in the direction of arrow E, have a dampening effect.
  • the plunger 22 could, for example, be firmly connected to the handwheel 16.
