Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for determining the register error between the individual colors in multi-color printing in a long web web-fed rotary printing press, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • any register error that may be present is first determined.
  • a generic device which is known, for example, from DE-C-40 37 728 or EP-A-0 095 437
  • there are two path sensors in each scanning head which can be designed, for example, in the form of fiber-optic sensors.
  • fiber optic sensors such as those e.g. are known from the brochure "Register control for gravure presses S-3100" from Bobst SA, because of their geometrical dimensions, the path sensors can only be arranged at a minimum distance of 18 mm from each other. From this it follows again that the registration marks must be arranged at a minimum distance of 20 mm from one another.
  • the register error is determined by measuring the registration marks of colors one and two, two and three, and three and four. A time signal is determined as the measured value, which, multiplied by the respective web speed, gives the register deviation.
  • the device according to the invention only a path sensor has to be mechanically adjusted, it being possible in principle to carry out a scanning on the roller.
  • web flutter can be prevented and the device according to the invention saves set-up time.
  • a level measurement is a measurement that the register deviation always relates to the first color.
  • the device according to the invention can be used to switch, preferably automatically, to the previously described level measurement, which results in a saving in waste.
  • the register or print marks are arranged one behind the other in the running direction of the material web.
  • the print marks can be optically scanned, as with a conventional double-path scanner, converted into an electrical analog signal and fed to the register controller.
  • advantageously only an electrical signal has to be fed to the register controller.
  • an electronic window is set by the evaluation device to select the registration marks to be scanned and evaluated. This selects the marks to be scanned so that at each measuring point, despite the aligned arrangement of the registration marks and despite the presence of only a single path sensor, the registration marks are always scanned and evaluated, which must be used to determine the respective register error.
  • a register control device with a controller 1 for monitoring a long web web-fed rotary printing press 2, as is known in principle from DE 40 37 728 C1 and in which the device according to the invention is integrated in the present case . Since the present invention is embodied both in a separate device for determining the register error and in a control device which comprises this device according to the invention in accordance with the claims of the present application, the complete disclosure content of DE 40 37 728 is supplemented by the disclosure of this application to supplement the disclosure content of this application Contents of this application made.
  • the long web web-fed rotary printing press 2 shown in FIG. 1 has four printing units 3 to 6 in the example, in which the colors yellow, red, blue and black are successively applied to a material web 7 to be printed.
  • each of the printing units 3 to 6 each has a printing cylinder 8, 9, 10 and 11 rotating in an ink bath.
  • the material web 7 is passed through the printing units 3 to 6 one after the other, whereby it is guided over the printing cylinders 8 to 11, respectively.
  • Each printing unit of the long web web-fed rotary printing press 2 also has a drying device 12, 13, 14 and 15, which is arranged downstream of the assigned printing cylinder 8, 9, 10 and 11, viewed in the direction of travel of the material web 7.
  • the drying devices 12 to 15 can be designed, for example, in the form of a drying drum.
  • the printing units 3, 4 and 5 are provided with a register roller arrangement with actuators 16, 17 and 18, which each have a correction motor 19, 20 and 21, respectively.
  • the register control device which represents a control device arranged in a housing (not shown), has a central unit 22 for recording and storing all control parameters and the control behavior.
  • the register control device preferably has control units designed as plug-in modules, of which the control unit 23 is shown in FIG. 1. These control units serve to regulate the longitudinal register and / or to combine the longitudinal and lateral register, and for this purpose act on the aforementioned correction motors 19 to 21 of the respective actuators 16, 17 and 18.
  • the device according to the invention for determining the register error between the individual colors in the multi-color printing carried out in the long web web-fed rotary printing press 2 is integrated in the overall arrangement illustrated in FIG. 1.
  • the device according to the invention has a scanning device 24, which comprises each measuring point in the printing units 4, 5 or 6 scanning heads 25, 26 and 27, and which contains the register or registration marks P1 to P4 (see FIGS. 2, 3 ) to capture.
  • the scanning heads 25, 26 and 27 are arranged at a suitable point in the printing units 4, 5 and 6 in the running direction L of the material web 7 behind the printing cylinder.
  • the scanning heads 25, 26 and 27 are connected to a signal recording unit of the scanning device 24, which in turn forwards the determined signals to an evaluation device 33 which is connected to the central unit 22 and which determines the relative positions of the individual registration marks P1 to P4 to one another.
  • the device according to the invention has only one single path sensor per scanning head 25 to 27, which is identified in FIG. 1 by the reference symbols T 1 or T 2 and T 3 .
  • the path sensors T 1 to T 3 are preferably designed as fiber-optic path sensors which optically scan the registration marks P1 to P4 and generate electrical analog signals which are fed to the evaluation device 33.
  • the evaluation device 33 uses the supplied signals to determine the relative positions of the registration marks P1 to P4 and the results are fed to the control unit 23 via the central unit 22, which in turn is connected to the correction motors 19, 20 or lines 40, 41 or 42. 21 is connected to perform the register correction.
  • FIG. 2 shows a section of the material web 7 with four print images 43, 44, 45 and 46 in the example.
  • the print images 43 to 46 are assigned the registration marks P1 to P4, which are on a side strip 47 of the print sheet 7 at Printing of print images 43 to 46 can also be printed on.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the assignment of Path sensors T 1 to T 3 to print images 44, 45 and 46. Accordingly, only one path sensor T 1 , T 2 and T 3 is provided for each measuring point and scanning head, which scans the respective registration marks and generates the corresponding signals.
  • FIG. 3 shows the arrangement of the registration marks P1 and P2 and their spacing A from one another. It is clear from this illustration that the registration marks, viewed in the running direction L of the material web 7, are arranged in alignment one behind the other and are correspondingly detected by the respective web buttons T 1 , T 2 and T 3 .
  • the distance A can be minimized to 3-5 mm.
  • the distance A between two registration marks is resolved via a sensor, for example the rotary sensors 30, 31 and 32 shown in FIG. 1. 4, a counter is started by means of the leading edge V 1 of a first signal S1, which is stopped by the leading edge V 2 of the second signal S2 recorded by the respective path sensor.
  • the resulting counted number of pulses corresponds directly to the distance or the distance A between the registration marks (e.g. 5 pulses corresponds to 5 mm distance A), so that an immediate distance measurement can be carried out with the device according to the invention. If the determined distances deviate from the previously known actual distances between the registration marks, the respective register deviation can be determined.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 For further explanation and disclosure of the device according to the invention, reference is made explicitly to FIGS. 5 and 6 below.
  • Each brand is digitized for the digitization and further processing of the brands. For this purpose, a separate goal (goal 1, goal 2 in FIGS. 5 and 6) is placed over each mark.
  • the principle of digitization for each brand can correspond to the principle for double track sensors.
  • the analog signal is given to two identical digitization stages, each of which is supplied with one of the two gates 1 and 2 for evaluating the corresponding mark.
  • the distance between the marks in the device according to the invention corresponds to the distance in the printed image. These distances have to be measured.
  • a third gate (measuring gate) is used, which lies above both digital marks K1, K2. These signals are supplied to measure the counter stage mentioned above, which carries out the explained immediate distance measurement.
  • the printing distance of the marks which corresponds to the target distance A, is then subtracted using suitable software.
  • the invention is thus embodied in addition to the determination device defined in the claims, also in a device for register control for multi-color printing in long-web web-fed rotary printing presses 2, which controller 1 with the central unit 22 for recording and storing all control parameters and the Has control behavior and further comprises the scanning device 24 with a plurality of scanning heads and the actuators 16, 17 and 18 for controlling the longitudinal and / or side register, with only a single path scanner T 1 , T 2 or T 3 is provided in the manner described above.
