Definitions

  • the invention relates to a protective device for offset rotary printing presses, in particular for printing units of sheet-fed rotary printing presses, with a flat protective cover for the danger points, which is arranged to be removable for setting and maintenance work and is protected with electrical protective circuits.
  • protective covers are provided in the area of the printing unit cylinders in order to prevent the operator from being accidentally in danger areas, e.g. into the inlet gap of the cylinder.
  • Such protective covers are required in large numbers in a modern multicolour printing machine, so that the operating effort increases, the accessibility to the machine often suffers and the appearance of the machine is also not improved thereby. If one takes into account that modern printing presses have an ever higher degree of automation, which also relates in particular to the printing units, the relationship between the expenditure for protective devices and their use in practical use becomes increasingly unfavorable.
  • the object is achieved in that the protective device encloses the printing units in a capsule-shaped manner and that the protective device can be removed in whole or in part for carrying out adjustment or maintenance work is trained.
  • An advantage of this solution is that the sound generated by the printing units can be significantly reduced at the installation site of the machine. Furthermore, only one protective device is required by the described solution, so that the effort compared to the known designs has been reduced.
  • the printing units can be made more compact in multi-color machines, so that the protective and soundproofing measures do not have a negative effect. It is advantageous to design the walls of the protective device from sound-reducing material.
  • the protective device from a plurality of individual elements which are mounted such that they can be displaced or pivoted relative to one another. When closed, the individual elements can be sealed by seals. This ensures a high degree of flexibility of the protective device in practical operation.
  • the capsule-shaped protective device can be raised or pivoted and can be protected overall and / or its individual elements by electrical circuit breakers. Furthermore, the capsule-shaped protective device for dissipating vapors and heat generated in the printing units is provided with a suction device, so that, in addition to noise insulation, environmental protection measures can also be implemented simply and effectively.
  • the printing units can also be cooled, or dry fresh air can be supplied in order to dry the printing material with the color printing and to remove the solvents.
  • the schematically drawn view of a sheet-fed rotary printing press shows a feeder 1, one or more printing units 2 and the delivery unit 3.
  • the printing units 2 are enclosed with a protective device 4, which is capsule-shaped and consists of a sound-reducing material.
  • the protective device 4, which encloses the printing units as a whole, can also be formed here from a plurality of individual elements which are mounted such that they can be displaced or pivoted relative to one another. The individual elements are mutually sealed in the closed state, so that the harmful vapors generated in the printing units can be extracted via a suction device 5.
  • a recirculation system for cooling the printing units can be connected in the same way, through which harmful vapors can also be removed.
  • the advantageous embodiments according to the subclaims can be implemented in practice in a purely mechanical manner.
