Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 and a device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 9.
  • Printing ink manufacturers offer printing inks with different rheological properties that are adapted to the respective printing task.
  • a printing ink is selected that is matched to the printing material with regard to viscosity and speed.
  • the rheological properties are also influenced by the respective color temperature. Studies have shown that for all printing inks there is always a clear linear relationship between the logarithm of the plastic viscosity U or the tack values on the one hand and the reciprocal of the absolute temperature on the other hand (K.-H. Schirmer, S. Yoshijima: "Rheological properties of printing inks at different temperatures ", Kunststoff 1973).
  • a specific, predetermined starting temperature of the ink is important, for example, for the correct, repeatably accurate metering of the ink in the area of the ductor roller serving as the metering roller.
  • the printer generally solves this problem by placing the ink in the printing room for a long time before it is used, so that it takes on the temperature of this printing room.
  • the metering devices i.e. for example, the ink wipers of the duct roller set.
  • the inertia of the inking unit is the time that passes until an adjustment step that has been made arrives at the print carrier (this time is also very much dependent on the area coverage of the print subject).
  • the time between the execution of an adjustment process and the effect on the printed image is up to 90 seconds; with a realistic printing performance of about 10,000 sheets / hour, this time corresponds to about 250 sheets that are rejected.
  • the time for the control step equalized in tone value and area is approximately 13 seconds, which corresponds to a reject of approximately 180 copies.
  • the time in which an adjustment process, for example carried out via the ink fountain keys, has an effect on the printed image is already considerably shorter today.
  • it is only about 2 1/4 seconds, which corresponds to about 7 sheets.
  • the adjustment time is only about 0.5 seconds, which also corresponds to about 7 sheets.
  • this object is achieved, on the one hand, by a method of the type defined in claim 1 and, on the other hand, by a device of the type specified in claim 9.
  • the known linear relationship between the rheological properties of certain printing inks and their temperature makes it possible to determine the rheological properties of printing inks over a wide range if at least two points on the curve are known, for example by measurement.
  • the regulation or control of the color temperature therefore enables the rheological properties of the printing ink to be influenced in a targeted manner.
  • the method according to the invention essentially boils down to tempering the smallest possible ink supply immediately before it is taken up by the duct roller by means of separate temperature control devices. It has been shown that it is always possible to temper the ink in the inlet wedge of the ink fountain with an extremely short response time so that it has the desired temperature in the area of the print, for example. In this way, regardless of the inertia of the inking unit against temperature changes, the time required for a color temperature adjustment step to be carried out completely can be shortened considerably.
  • the method according to the invention not only allows the color temperature to be kept constant, as is mainly sought by the previously known methods and devices, but also to consciously control the temperature and thus the rheological properties of the color. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the previously required stock of colors of different rheological properties, since these rheological properties can now be set in a targeted manner via the color temperature control. In this way, inventory costs can be significantly reduced.
  • the color is tempered in a separate temperature control container arranged upstream of the ink fountain and is fed from this to the inlet wedge.
  • This solution enables the temperature control container to optimally adapt to the task assigned to it and to provide it with the necessary heating and cooling devices.
  • the temperature control container preferably contains such a small amount of paint that it can be adjusted to the desired temperature in the shortest possible time.
  • the color is tempered by means of temperature control elements immersed in the inlet wedge of the ink fountain.
  • a separate temperature control container can be omitted, so that the device for carrying out this method can be structurally simple.
  • the temperature control devices are preferably controlled by a closed control loop as a function of color and / or print image properties detected by suitable sensors;
  • the color properties include, for example, the surface temperatures or voltages of the color which can be detected by suitable sensors known per se, while the print image properties are given above all by the color density which can be determined by means of a so-called densitometer.
  • a basic temperature control to an average temperature is carried out by tempering the ductor roller and / or the inking unit, while by means of the temperature control devices according to the invention only a final temperature control superimposed on the basic temperature control is brought to the desired final temperature. This measure serves to keep the performance of the temperature control devices according to the invention low.
  • a device of the type defined in claim 9 is provided for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • the ink fountain is either preceded by a tempering tank with heating or cooling elements, the tempered ink being fed through outlet openings onto the duct roller or into the inlet wedge.
  • temperature-regulating elements are provided in the ink fountain in the area of the inlet wedge.
  • Modern inking units are often equipped with color stirring devices which are immersed in the inlet wedge of the ink fountain.
  • the temperature control elements are simultaneously designed as color stirring devices.
  • the devices shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprise a duct roller 2, to which an ink fountain 4 is assigned in a manner known per se.
  • the ink fountain 4 essentially comprises two side walls (of which only the side wall 6 facing the viewer is visible) and a floor (not shown in more detail). The side walls are sealed off from the end faces of the duct roller 2.
  • the ink fountain 4 is divided by a partition 10 parallel to the duct roller axis 8 into a region 12 remote from the duct and a region 12 close to the duct and forming the inlet wedge. In this way, only an ink supply sufficient for a few duct circulations is maintained in the inlet wedge, the temperature of which can be quickly adapted to the respectively required temperature.
  • the bottom of the area 12 close to the doctor is formed in a manner known per se by a wiping device 14 which can be adjusted more or less close to the roller 2.
  • a wiping device 14 Any component that is capable of dosing the ink application on the duct roller in a suitable manner can serve as the wiping device.
  • the stripping device 14 is preferably formed by a plurality of tongues 14 ′ which are arranged next to one another without gaps and which can each be adjusted relative to the surface of the duct roller 2 by a suitable assigned mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical feed device.
  • the delivery devices are formed by, for example, manually operable ink zone screws 16.
  • a tempering tank 18 is arranged above the roller 2, which contains a relatively small ink supply.
  • the temperature control tank 18 is equipped with schematically illustrated heating and / or cooling devices 20, by means of which the color supply present in the temperature control tank 18 can be quickly adjusted to the desired temperature.
  • the temperature control container 18 is connected to an ink guide tube 22 which is arranged above the inking roller 2 and which applies the temperature-controlled ink to the inking roller via a series of drip nozzles 24 directed directly onto the inking roller 2.
  • the total ink supply contained in the temperature control container 18 on the one hand and on the duct roller 2 or in the inlet wedge 12 is so small that it is only sufficient for a few duct circulations, so that a change in color temperature in the temperature control box 18 very quickly affects the color temperature in the inlet wedge. In this way, the inertia related to the color temperature, i.e. the time between an adjustment step made and the effect in the printing area is extremely short.
  • FIG. 3 again shows a duct roller 32 and an ink fountain 34 assigned to it, which forms an ink wedge 36 with the duct roller 32.
  • the ink supply in the inlet wedge is preferably kept so small that it is only ever sufficient for a few duct circulations.
  • a color stirring device 38 is assigned to the ink fountain 34.
  • this consists of a conical stirring element 42 which can be rotated about an axis 40 and which can be moved parallel to the axis of rotation 44 of the duct roller 32 along the ink fountain 34.
  • the stirring element 42 By rotating the stirring element 42 about its axis 40 and by simultaneously moving parallel to the duct roller axis 44, the color in the ink fountain 34 Color is always stirred so that heavier color components can not settle down.
  • the color element 42 is equipped with a heating and / or cooling device 46.
  • This device makes it possible to quickly set the ink supply in the ink fountain 34 to a desired temperature.
  • the heating and / or cooling device 46 is connected to a control device 48 which detects certain color properties and / or certain print image properties via sensors 50. Toughness or temperature are suitable as color properties; the color density on the printed image is particularly suitable as print image properties. In this way, a closed control loop is created, by means of which the color temperature in the run-in wedge 36 is always adjusted to a value which ensures compliance with the color and / or print image properties specified as target values.
  • the control device can be part of a higher-level machine control system, through which, among other things, the ink feed to the ink fountain and, if appropriate, also the infeed of stripping elements 52 which can be set against the inking roller 32 by means of ink zone screws 54 are controlled.
  • the method according to the invention and the device according to the invention not only make it possible to keep the color temperature at an optimum value during a long-lasting printing process, even under changing environmental conditions; Rather, they also enable the color temperature to be quickly and specifically adapted to special requirements, for example to different qualities of the printing material.
  • the temperature control can be superimposed on the basic temperature control by means 20 or 46, which is carried out, for example, by temperature control of one or more rollers of the inking unit or one or more cylinders.
