Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for positioning a chambered doctor blade for an inking unit of a web-fed rotary printing press, on an ink-emitting roller, according to the preamble of patent claims 1 and 4.
  • doctor blades For chambered doctor blades, it is known to insert the doctor blade blades into a slot in order to ensure quick interchangeability.
  • the wear of the working squeegee compared to the closing squeegee is greater.
  • the invention is based on the object of a method for increasing the service life of a doctor blade which can be adjusted at a negative angle of a chamber doctor blade to an ink-carrying roller, e.g. B. anilox roller to create, as well a device for performing the method.

  • a negatively positioned doctor blade e.g. B.
  • the squeegee of a squeegee beam carrying two squeegee blades can be easily placed on the ink-guiding roller at a distance from the squeegee working point and can then be moved against a force into a squeegee holder on its way to the squeegee working point.
  • This has a larger adjustable squeegee width, which increases the service life of the squeegee blades. A longer service life compared to conventional doctor blades is achieved with these negatively positioned doctor blades.
  • the doctor blades are turned at a negative angle, bending of the upper edge, i.
  • a resilient arrangement of the working squeegee ensures automatic tracking of the squeegee blade and thus also increases the service life of the squeegee, in particular the working squeegee. Another advantage is that the doctor blade wear can be displayed, so that it can be checked at any time when the doctor blade adjustment is finished.
