Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for register correction of the sheet prints or to compensate for tensioned sheets in a sheet-fed rotary printing machine by deforming the leading edge of the sheet in front of the printing unit with generic features according to the preamble of claim 1
  • the bending device engages centrally on the gripper bridge shaft of the sheet transfer cylinder, so that it bends the gripper bridge shaft in the work cycle of the machine. As a result, the leading edge of the sheet is deformed in or against the direction of rotation of the cylinder in the middle.
  • the bending device consists of a movable arrangement of a central gripper bridge shaft bearing and of a cam mechanism with pressure roller and return spring, the current rotational position of the pressure roller being adjustable by a control shaft which, according to the proposal in this document, is to be formed directly by the gripper bridge shaft.
  • Such a bending device causes relatively high costs. Above all, there is the disadvantage that the deformation of the leading edge of the sheet cannot be adjusted while the machine is running, so that the machine has to be stopped repeatedly in the set-up phase in order to make register corrections by deforming the leading edge of the sheet.
  • the US-PS 2,577,099 shows a device for register correction, in which the gripper bridge shaft is held at the ends in a sheet transfer cylinder and is also bent in the middle in or against the running direction of the sheet.
  • the gripper bridge shaft is either tubular and supported in the middle of a channel in the sheet transfer cylinder on a pair of rollers, the axes of rotation of which take up a different angular position to the gripper bridge shaft axis and the rollers of which can be pressed individually against the gripper bridge shaft by means of an eccentric mechanism, or designed as a bending rod which is directly formed by an eccentric mechanism is deformable.
  • Such a control mechanism for the bending device is also quite complex and, above all, cannot be regulated while the machine is running.
  • DE-AS 23 14 302 and DE-PS 11 75 695 devices for deforming the leading edge of the sheet for the purpose of register correction are described, in which the gripper bridge shaft is divided and the adjacent ends of the shaft parts are mounted in a movable carriage, which by means of special Members is adjustable. These devices are also expensive and cannot be adjusted during machine operation.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a bending device for deforming the leading edge of the sheet for the purpose of register correction or to compensate for tensioned sheets in a gripper system for sheet transfer in a sheet-fed rotary printing press, which can be adjusted especially while the machine is running and requires as few additional components as possible.
  • An essential distinguishing feature of the invention compared to the prior art is thus the formation of the bending device on the gripper bridge of a pre-gripper, which carries out oscillating movements about an axis that is stationary with respect to the machine frame, but possibly adjustable in position, and whose gripper bridge is only at both ends by means of a rigid lever on a Gripper bridge shaft is supported.
  • the actual bending device then only consists of a stop that is fixed to the frame of the machine, but adjustable in height, against which the gripper bridge comes to rest with its central region before the ends of the gripper bridge that swing back further have reached their zero position, in which the bow gripper Take over bow. Since the stop is arranged on part of the machine frame, it can be adjusted at any time, even while the machine is running.
  • the stop can consist of an adjusting screw which passes through a nut thread of a part fixed to the frame.
  • End stops for the gripper bridge are fundamentally not necessary, but stops for the ends of the gripper bridge can also be arranged on the frame of the machine, against which the gripper bridge may come to rest in the zero position. If the middle stop for the gripper bridge is withdrawn behind the straight connecting line of the two end stops, the bending device is ineffective.
  • the middle stop is pushed forward with respect to the straight connecting line, so that the middle of the gripper bridge already comes into contact with this stop before the ends of the gripper bridge have reached the zero position or the outer stops, so that the gripper bridge around the middle stop is bent slightly.
  • Such a gripper bridge works without stops on gripper support strips, so that when the bending device is set, the bow protrudes further into the gripper at the ends than in the middle and the sheet sides are initially accelerated more strongly in the movement of the pre-gripper for the purpose of arch tension than in the middle, such as it also takes place in known devices.
  • the stop for the middle area of the gripper bridge is arranged on a cross member of the machine frame.
  • the middle stop for the gripper bridge is supported on the gripper bridge shaft, in order to enable a delayed retardation over several degrees of swivel.
  • a stop is provided in the form of a roller, which is mounted centrally on a further, firmly connected to the gripper bridge and approximately parallel to the two rigid, extending at the ends of the gripper levers between these extending levers which, on the other hand, has a swivel bearing which is connected to the gripper bridge shaft in a rotationally fixed manner and is arranged eccentrically to its axis.
  • This roller can be adjusted in its distance from the gripper bridge shaft by means of a curve formed on the circumference of a ring rotatable about the gripper bridge shaft.
  • a particularly advantageous solution is seen according to the invention in that the curve is formed on the outer jacket of a ring enclosing the gripper bridge shaft, the rotational position of which can be adjusted by means of an adjusting device fixed on the machine frame, for example an adjusting screw. When the device is turned off, the roller remains free and the lever is pressed against the stop screw with a spring.
  • the pre-gripper shown in the drawing takes over the sheet 1 to be printed from the feed table 2, on which the sheet was aligned with front marks and side marks, not shown.
  • the pre-gripper accelerates the sheet 1 to printing speed and transfers it to the transfer cylinder 3.
  • the pre-gripper is driven by a curve 4 shown in FIG. 1 via a roller lever 5 with a roller 6 which is rotatably mounted at its free end and which by means of a spring 7 against the Curve 4 is pressed.
  • the curve accordingly, the bow is accelerated by the pre-gripper to the printing speed when it is transferred to cylinder 3, while after a corresponding delay in the last movement phase, the pre-gripper slowly returns to the other end position and reaches the zero position in which one new sheet 1 is taken over from feed table 2.
  • a gripper bridge 8 which extends across the machine width and is U-shaped in cross section, is fastened at its ends to rigid levers 9, which on the other hand are fastened to the pivot shaft 10 of the pre-gripper.
  • the bending device for the gripper bridge 8 consists of a stop 12 which is adjustably arranged on a cross member 11 of the machine frame and which has a counter stop 13 on the gripper bridge 8 cooperates.
  • the stop 12 is designed as an adjusting screw 14 which can be screwed into the transverse support 11 or another component of the machine frame, for which purpose the free end of the adjusting screw 14 is connected to a knurled head or means for attaching a tool or motor.
  • optionally adjustable stops 15 and 16 are provided in the region of the ends of the gripper bridge 8 and interact with counter-stops 17 and 18 on the gripper bridge, mushroom heads being used in the simplest manner as stops 15 and 16 and screw heads as counter-stops 17 and 18.
  • the stop 12 can be withdrawn by the adjusting screw 14 to behind the straight connecting line through the planes of contact of the stops 15 and 16 with the counter-stops 17 and 18, so that there is no deflection of the gripper bridge 8.
  • the stop 12 can be moved forward by operating the adjusting screw 14 over this straight connecting line while the machine is running, so that the gripper bridge 8 bends to a greater or lesser extent, as shown in FIG. 2 with the dash-dotted lines.
  • the gripper 20 which is movable in the gripper bridge 8 about its pivot shaft 19, grips further into the arc at the edge than in the middle, so that when the pre-gripper moves, there is greater arc acceleration at the edge and thus tension of the arc .
  • the stop consists of a roller 21, which is supported by a spring 31 on the curve 24 and is freely rotatably mounted on a further lever 22, which is approximately parallel to the two rigid, arranged at the ends of the gripper bridge 8 levers centrally between this extends, one end of which is fixed to the Gripper bridge 8 is connected and the other end of which has a pivot bearing 23 which is connected to a gripper bridge shaft 10 in a rotationally fixed manner and is arranged eccentrically to its axis. Since the roller 21 is adjustable in its distance from the axis of the gripper bridge shaft 10, a bending device is created through which the gripper bridge 8 can be deformed via the lever 22.
  • a curve 24 is determined in the exemplary embodiment which is formed on the circumference of a ring 25 which can be rotated about the axis of the gripper bridge shaft 10.
  • This ring 25 can be rotated by an adjusting screw 26 which is held axially immovably in the frame of the machine and the nut 27 of which is connected to the ring 25 in a pendulum-movable manner. Via this adjusting screw 26, the curve 24 can be rotated into the area of the roller 21 acting as a stop, so that the roller 21 comes into contact earlier when the gripper bridge swivels back and the gripper bridge is thereby deformed.
  • the curve 24 is moved out of the range of motion of the roller 21, as shown in the drawing in FIG. 3.
  • the lever 22 connected in the middle to the gripper bridge 8 interacts with a further stop lever 28 which is arranged on the gripper bridge shaft 10 in a rotationally fixed manner and which is arranged on the gripper bridge shaft 10 in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • an adjustable stop screw 29 or 30 is provided, which rest against one another with their heads and can be set to a tension-free zero position of the gripper bridge.
