Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Druckwerksturm nach dem OBERBEGRIFF des Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a printing unit tower.

Aus dem Fachbuch von Oskar Frei "Techniken, Systeme, Maschinen", Polygraphverlag, 1979 ist es bekannt, Druckwerke übereinander anzuordnen (z.B. Seite 13). Bei den bekannten Druckwerken in Satellitenbauweise (z.B. Seite 9 des Fachbuches) sind vier Gummituchzylinder an einen gemeinsamen Satellitenzylinder anstellbar, so daß eine Bedruckstoffbahn, beispielsweise mit einem 4/0 Druck versehen werden kann (Abbildung 17 b, auf Seite 9 des Fachbuches). Werden derartige Satellitendruckwerke übereinander angeordnet, um beispielsweise in einem unteren Satellitendruckwerk eine Bedruckstoffbahn mit einem Schöndruck (4/0) und in einem darüber angeordneten oberen Satellitendruckwerk mit einem Wiederdruck (0/4) zu versehen, so entstehen zumindest zwei Probleme. Zum einen besteht die Gefahr, daß die frischbedruckte Farbe auf dem Satellitenzylinder des oberen Druckwerkes abschmiert und zum anderen ergeben sich Probleme bei der Zugänglichkeit der Satellitendruckwerke bei der Bahnführung und zwar insbesondere dann, wenn eine Bedruckstoffbahn zunächst in einem unteren Satellitendruckwerk und anschließend in einem oberen Satellitendruckwerk jeweils mit vier Farben (4/0 und 0/4) bedruckt werden soll. Des weiteren ist aus der EP-A-0 242 649 ein bis auf zehn Zylinder ausbaubares Eindruckwerk für fliegenden Platten-Wechsel bekannt, bei dem zwischen zwei über einander liegenden Zylindern ein Waschwerk vorgesehen ist. Für Etagenbauweise ist ein derartiges Spezial druckwerk nicht geeignet.From the specialist book by Oskar Frei "Techniques, Systems, Machines", Polygraph Verlag, 1979 it is known to arrange printing units one above the other (eg page 13). In the known printing units in satellite design (e.g. page 9 of the specialist book), four blanket cylinders can be placed on a common satellite cylinder, so that a printing material web, for example with 4/0 printing, can be provided (Figure 17 b, on page 9 of the specialist book). If such satellite printing units are arranged one above the other, for example to provide a printing substrate web with a face print (4/0) in a lower satellite printing unit and with a reprint (0/4) in an upper satellite printing unit arranged above it, at least two problems arise. On the one hand, there is a risk that the freshly printed ink will smear on the satellite cylinder of the upper printing unit and, on the other hand, there will be problems with the accessibility of the satellite printing units when guiding the web, especially if a printing material web is first in a lower satellite printing unit and then in an upper satellite printing unit four colors each (4/0 and 0/4) are to be printed. Furthermore, EP-A-0 242 649 discloses an impression mechanism which can be expanded to ten cylinders for flying plate changes and in which a washing mechanism is provided between two cylinders lying one above the other. Such a special printing unit is not suitable for multi-level construction.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, den gattungsgemäßen Druckwerksturm bestehend aus mindestens zwei übereinander angeordneten Satellitendruckwerken so weiterzubilden, daß bei freier Zugänglichkeit des unteren und des oberen Satellitendruckwerkes ein Abschmieren der frischbedruckten Farbe im nachfolgenden Satellitendruckwerk verhindert wird, oder daß eine fortlaufende oder intervallmäßige Reinigung des oder der Satellitenzylinder des nachgeordneten Druckwerks von der Farbe ermöglicht wird.The object of the present invention is to develop the generic printing unit tower consisting of at least two satellite printing units arranged one above the other in such a way that one with free access to the lower and the upper satellite printing unit Lubrication of the freshly printed ink is prevented in the subsequent satellite printing unit, or that continuous or intermittent cleaning of the ink or the satellite cylinders of the downstream printing unit is made possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch das kennzeichen des Anspruch 1.This object is achieved by the characterizing part of claim 1.

Im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik, bei dem jeweils benachbarte Gummituchzylinder eines Satellitendruckwerkes in einer gemeinsamen etwa vertikal verlaufenden Ebene aneinander anstellbar sind, wird gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung zumindestens ein Satellitendruckwerk, vorzugsweise das obere oder vom Aufbringen des Druckes her gesehen das jeweils nachgeordnete Satellitendruckwerk, so ausgebildet ist, daß benachbarte Gummituchzylinder jeweils in einer etwa horizontal verlaufenden Ebene aneinander anstellbar sind. Dadurch ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß in einer etwa vertikal verlaufenden Ebene zwischen den Zylinderpaaren eine Abschmierverhinderungs- oder Reinigungsvorrichtung angeordnet werden kann, die an den Satellitenzylinder anstellbar ist. Somit kann die beispielsweise in einem unteren Druckwerk bereits auf einer Seite mit frischer Farbe belegte Bedruckstoffbahn von unten kommend an einer Seite der Abschmierverhinderungs- oder Reinigungsvorrichtung vorbei dem Satellitenzylinder zu- und um diesen herumgeführt werden, so daß die andere Seite bedruckt werden kann, wonach wiederum nach unten die nunmehr beidseitig bedruckte Bedruckstoffbahn auf der anderen Seite der Abschmierverhinderungs- oder Reinigungsvorrichtung vorbei, zunächst aus dem oberen Satellitendruckwerk herausführbar ist. Selbstverständlich kann auch das untere Satellitendruckwerk gemäß der Erfindung ausgebildet werden. In jedem Satellitendruckwerk kann der Umfang des Satellitenzylinders dem der übrigen Zylinder entsprechen oder er kann den doppelten Umfang aufweisen. Auch können im Rahmen der Erfindung anstelle nur eines Satellitenzylinders zwei Satellitenzylinder verwendet werden. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, daß die Bedruckstoffbahn, die vorzugsweise von unten kommend in einem aufsteigenden Ast zunächst dem unteren Satellitendruckwerk zuführbar ist, im entsprechenden Abstand geführt werden kann, so daß das untere Satellitendruckwerk von beiden Seiten frei zugänglich bleibt. Das gleiche gilt für das obere Satellitendruckwerk, da die beidseitig bedruckte Bahn in vorteilhafter Weise im Abstand von dem oberen Satellitendruckwerk nach oben aus dem Druckwerksturm herausführbar ist.In contrast to the prior art, in which adjacent blanket cylinders of a satellite printing unit can be placed against one another in a common, approximately vertically running plane, according to the present invention at least one satellite printing unit, preferably the upper one or, viewed from the application of the pressure, the respective downstream satellite printing unit, is so is formed that adjacent blanket cylinders can be adjusted to each other in an approximately horizontal plane. This has the advantage that an anti-lubrication or cleaning device can be arranged in an approximately vertical plane between the pairs of cylinders, which can be adjusted to the satellite cylinder. Thus, for example, in a lower printing unit, the printing material web already covered on one side with fresh ink, coming from below, can be fed past and around the side of the anti-lubrication or cleaning device, so that the other side can be printed, and then again down the printing material web, which is now printed on both sides, on the other side of the smearing prevention or cleaning device, can first be led out of the upper satellite printing unit. Of course, the lower satellite printing unit can also be designed according to the invention. In each satellite printing unit, the circumference of the satellite cylinder can correspond to that of the other cylinders or it can have twice the circumference. Can too Within the scope of the invention, two satellite cylinders can be used instead of just one satellite cylinder. Another advantage of the invention is that the printing material web, which is preferably coming from below in an ascending branch, can first be fed to the lower satellite printing unit, can be guided at the appropriate distance, so that the lower satellite printing unit remains freely accessible from both sides. The same applies to the upper satellite printing unit, since the web printed on both sides can advantageously be led out of the printing unit tower at a distance from the upper satellite printing unit.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispieles, unter Zuhilfenahme der Zeichnung beschrieben. Diese zeigt schematisch einen Druckwerksturm 1, der ein oberes Satellitendruckwerk 2 und ein unteres Satellitendruckwerk 3 umfaßt. Im hier beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel ist lediglich das obere Satellitendruckwerk 2 gemäß der Erfindung ausgebildet und es weist nur einen einzigen Satellitenzylinder 4 auf, dessen Umfang dem Umfang dem der übrigen in dem oberen Satellitendruckwerk 2 vorgesehenen Zylinder 5 bis 12 entspricht.The invention is described below using an exemplary embodiment with the aid of the drawing. This shows schematically a printing unit tower 1, which comprises an upper satellite printing unit 2 and a lower satellite printing unit 3. In the exemplary embodiment described here, only the upper satellite printing unit 2 is designed according to the invention and it has only a single satellite cylinder 4, the circumference of which corresponds to the circumference of the other cylinders 5 to 12 provided in the upper satellite printing unit 2.

Die Zylinder 5 bis 12 sind im einzelnen jeweils Plattenzylinder-Gummituchzylinderpaare, nämlich 5, 6; 8, 7; 9, 10; 11, 12.The cylinders 5 to 12 are each plate cylinder-blanket cylinder pairs, namely 5, 6; 8, 7; 9, 10; 11, 12.

Das untere Satellitendruckwerk 3, das wie vorangehend erwähnt wurde, entweder in herkömmlicher Weise oder gemäß der Erfindung ausgebildet sein kann, umfaßt ebenfalls einen einzigen Satellitenzylinder 13, an den Plattenzylinder-Gummituchzylinderpaare 14, 15, 17, 16; 19, 18 und 20, 21 anstellbar sind.The lower satellite printing unit 3, which, as mentioned above, can be designed either in a conventional manner or according to the invention, also comprises a single satellite cylinder 13, on which plate cylinder and blanket cylinder pairs 14, 15, 17, 16; 19, 18 and 20, 21 are adjustable.

Dem Druckwerksturm 1 ist eine Bedruckstoffbahn 22 vorzugsweise von unten kommend zuführbar, die in dem unteren Satellitendruckwerk 3 und im oberen Satellitendruckwerk 2 jeweils auf einer Seite mit maximal vier Farben (4/4) belegt werden kann. Zwecks Erreichung einer freien Zugänglichkeit für das untere Satellitendruckwerk 3 wird die aufsteigende Bedruckstoffbahn 22 zunächst in entsprechendem Abstand vom unteren Satellitendruckwerk 3 um eine Papierleitwalze 23 und anschließend über einen horizontalen Weg zu einer Papierleitwalze 24 geführt und von dieser nach unten dem Satellitenzylinder 13 zugeleitet. Die Bedruckstoffbahn 22 wird um den Satellitenzylinder 13 herumgeführt, so daß auf einer Seite vier Farben (4/0) aufgebracht werden können, wonach die Bedruckstoffbahn 22 nach oben, ggf. über eine Papierleitwalze 25 dem zweiten Satellitendruckwerk 2 zugeführt wird.A printing material web 22, preferably coming from below, can be fed to the printing unit tower 1 and can be coated with a maximum of four colors (4/4) on one side in the lower satellite printing unit 3 and in the upper satellite printing unit 2. In order to achieve free accessibility for the lower satellite printing unit 3 the ascending printing material web 22 is first guided at a corresponding distance from the lower satellite printing unit 3 around a paper guide roller 23 and then via a horizontal path to a paper guide roller 24 and fed from there down to the satellite cylinder 13. The printing material web 22 is guided around the satellite cylinder 13 so that four colors (4/0) can be applied on one side, after which the printing material web 22 is fed upwards, possibly via a paper guide roller 25, to the second satellite printing unit 2.

Das Satellitendruckwerk 2 ist gemäß der Erfindung ausgebildet, d.h. die an den Satellitenzylinder 4 anstellbaren Gummituchzylinder 6, 7, 10, 12 sind paarweise auch aneinander anstellbar und zwar in einer etwa horizontal liegenden Ebene 31. Dadurch ergibt sich zwischen den Gummituchzylindern 7 und 12 ein entsprechender Freiraum, in den gemäß der Erfindung eine Abschmierverhinderungs- oder Reinigungsvorrichtung 30 angestellt werden kann. Diese Abschmierverhinderungs- oder Reinigungsvorrichtung 30 kann beispielsweise einen Sprühbalken umfassen, durch den verhindert wird, daß sich bei der Umführung der Bedruckstoffbahn 22 um den Satellitenzylinder 4 ein Abschmieren der frischen Farbe ergibt. Wahlweise ist es jedoch auch möglich, ein Abschmieren zuzulassen, wenn die Vorrichtung 30 aus einer Reinigungsvorrichtung besteht, die permanent oder in Intervallen den Satellitenzylinder von der frischen Farbe säubert. In einem aufsteigenden Ast wird die Bedruckstoffbahn 22 also gemäß der Erfindung an einer Seite der Abschmierverhinderungs- oder Reinigungsvorrichtung 30 dem oberen Satellitenzylinder 4 zugeführt und nach dem Aufbringen ggf. eines 0/4 Druckes auf der anderen Seite der Bedruckstoffbahn 22 wird diese an der anderen Seite der Abschmierverhinderungs- und Reinigungsvorrichtung 30 nach unten über Papierleitwalzen 26, 27, 28 und 29 zunächst aus dem oberen Satellitendruckwerk 2 heraus- und dann von dem Druckwerksturm 1 weggeführt. Die Zuführung der Bedruckstoffbahn 22 zu dem unteren Satellitendruckwerk 3 weist etwa die Form eines umgekehrten U's und die Herausführung der beidseitig mit Farbe belegten Bedruckstoffbahn 22 weist etwa die Form eines U's auf. Durch Einhaltung eines entsprechenden Abstandes der Bahn mit Hilfe der Papierleitwalzen 23 sowie 28 und 29 können in vorteilhafter Weise sowohl das obere als auch das untere Satellitendruckwerk 2 bzw. 3 frei zugänglich ausgebildet werden, wie die schematisch angedeuteten Bedienungspersonen erkennen lassen.The satellite printing unit 2 is designed according to the invention, ie the blanket cylinders 6, 7, 10, 12 which can be set on the satellite cylinder 4 can also be adjusted in pairs in an approximately horizontal plane 31. This results in a corresponding between the blanket cylinders 7 and 12 Free space in which a lubrication prevention or cleaning device 30 can be placed according to the invention. This smearing prevention or cleaning device 30 can comprise, for example, a spray bar, which prevents the fresh ink from smearing when the printing material web 22 is guided around the satellite cylinder 4. Alternatively, however, it is also possible to allow greasing if the device 30 consists of a cleaning device which permanently or at intervals cleans the satellite cylinder of the fresh paint. In an ascending branch, the printing material web 22 is thus fed to the upper satellite cylinder 4 according to the invention on one side of the smearing prevention or cleaning device 30, and after application of a 0/4 print, if applicable, to the other side of the printing material web 22, this becomes on the other side the lubrication prevention and cleaning device 30 downwards via paper guide rollers 26, 27, 28 and 29 first out of the upper satellite printing unit 2 and then out of the printing unit tower 1. The feed of the printing material web 22 to the lower satellite printing unit 3 has approximately the shape of an inverted U and the removal of the printing material web 22 coated on both sides with ink has approximately the shape of a U. on. By maintaining a corresponding distance of the web with the aid of the paper guide rollers 23 and 28 and 29, both the upper and the lower satellite printing units 2 and 3 can advantageously be made freely accessible, as can be seen from the schematically indicated operators.

Die Abschmierverhinderungs- oder Reinigungsvorrichtung 30 ist gemäß der Erfindung zwischen den unteren Gummituchzylindern 7, 12 angeordnet und zwar etwa in einer zwischen übereinanderliegenden Gummituchzylindern 7, 6 bzw. 10, 12 liegenden vertikalen Ebene 32 und ist vorzugsweise in dieser Ebene an den Satellitenzylinder 4 an- und von diesem abstellbar.According to the invention, the lubrication prevention or cleaning device 30 is arranged between the lower blanket cylinders 7, 12, approximately in a vertical plane 32 lying between superimposed blanket cylinders 7, 6 or 10, 12 and is preferably attached to the satellite cylinder 4 in this plane. and detachable from it.

Im Rahmen des Erfindungsgedanken ist es auch möglich, daß die Gummituchzylinderpaare 6, 7 bzw. 10, 12 nicht für blanket to blanket-Druck gegeneinander anstellbar sind, wenn z.B. ein solcher Druck nicht benötigt wird.Within the scope of the inventive concept, it is also possible that the blanket cylinder pairs 6, 7 or 10, 12 cannot be adjusted against each other for blanket to blanket printing, e.g. such pressure is not needed.
