Abstract

The method involves turning the cylinder (1), a tension load is exerted on the block (2), which is secured to the cylinder (1), in the peripheral direction (FU). In addition to this load, axial tension loads (FA) are exerted in opposite axial directions on the block periphery, and all loads can be arranged to act only on the outer block edges. At each edge of the block there can be a pressure roller (3), movable in and out of position in relation to the cylinder (1), their axes of rotation including an angle with the cylinder axis. The roller are in mirror-image positions in relation to the central plane which is at right angles to the cylinder axis. Thus when the rollers press against the block at the edges axial tension loads are generated.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Aufziehen flexibler Druckformen auf den Formzylinder von Druckmaschinen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Verfahrens bzw. Vorrichtungsanspruches.The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for Mount flexible printing forms on the form cylinders of printing machines according to the preamble of the method or device claim.

Aus der DE 4 214 207 C1 ist eine Andrückrolle zum Aufziehen von Druckformen auf den Formzylinder von Druckmaschinen bekannt, welche gegenüber dem Formzylinder an- und abstellbar gelagert ist. Die mit der Vorderkante am Formzylinder befestigte Druckform wird durch Vorwärtsdrehen des Formzylinders und die angestellte über die Formatbreite der Druckform reichende Andrückrolle auf diesen aufgebügelt. Durch den Druck der Andrückrolle in Verbindung mit deren elastischer Oberfläche (Gummi) entsteht somit während des Aufziehens eine in Umfangsrichtung des Formzylinders wirkende Zugkraft auf die Druckform.DE 4 214 207 C1 describes a pressure roller for pulling on Printing forms on the forme cylinder of printing presses known is mounted on and off relative to the forme cylinder. With the leading edge of the printing plate attached to the forme cylinder is through Turn the forme cylinder forward and the employee over the Pressure roller that reaches the format width of the printing form on this ironed on. By pressing the pressure roller in connection with their elastic surface (rubber) is thus created during the Aufzugens acting in the circumferential direction of the forme cylinder Tensile force on the printing form.

Die zuvorstehend beschriebene Vorrichtung kann weitgehend problemlos bei Offsetdruckplatten eingesetzt werden. Problematischer ist dagegen die Verwendung von an sich bekannten Andrückrollen bei Druckformen, welche auf den Formzylinder von Druckwerken aufzuziehen sind, die nach dem Hochdruckprinzip arbeiten. Entsprechend dem Anteil druckender und nichtdruckender Stellen weist dann die Druckform unterschiedliche Stärken auf. Daher ist es nicht möglich solche Druckformen mit einer sich über die Formatbreite des Formzylinders erstreckenden Andrückrolle ordnungsgemäß aufzuziehen, da die Andrückrolle die Druckform lediglich an deren druckenden, also erhabenen Stellen gegen den Formzylinder drückt. Derartige Druckformen werden insbesondere bei Lackiereinrichtungen bei Offsetdruckmaschinen verwendet und werden dann als Lackplatten bezeichnet. Neuerdings sind auch sogenannte Nyloflex-Platten bekannt, bei denen auf einem Alu-Träger nach Art einer Offsetdruckplatte ein Flexoklischee aufgebracht ist. Auch dann arbeitet die Lackiereinrichtung nach dem Hochdruck- bzw. Flexodruckverfahren.The device described above can be largely problem-free can be used with offset printing plates. Is more problematic on the other hand, the use of pressure rollers known per se Printing forms, which are mounted on the forme cylinders of printing units are working on the high pressure principle. According to that Proportion of printing and non-printing places then shows the Printing form different strengths. Therefore it is not possible such printing forms with a spread over the format width of the forme cylinder extending pressure roller properly, because the pressure roller the printing form only at its printing, ie raised areas presses against the forme cylinder. Such printing forms are used in particular in coating facilities in offset printing machines used and are then referred to as lacquer plates. Recently, so-called Nyloflex sheets are also known, in which a flexo plate on an aluminum support like an offset printing plate is applied. Even then the painting facility works according to the high-pressure or flexographic printing process.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren sowie eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des jeweiligen Anspruches derartig weiterzubilden, so daß flexible Druckformen unabhängig von unterschiedlichen Stärken oder sonstigen sujetabhängigen Eigenarten optimal auf den Formzylinder aufgezogen werden können.The object of the present invention is therefore a method and a device according to the preamble of the respective claim to develop such, so that flexible printing forms regardless of different strengths or other subject-dependent Characteristics can be optimally drawn onto the forme cylinder can.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Verfahrens bzw. des Vorrichtungsanspruches.This task is solved by the characteristic features of the Procedure or the device claim.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß zusätzlich zu einer in Umfangsrichtung auf die Druckform ausgeübten Zugkraft in den beiden Randbereichen der Druckform jeweils axial nach außen weisende Zugkräfte zur Erzeugung einer Breitstreckwirkung ausgeübt werden.According to the invention it is provided that in addition to one in the circumferential direction tensile force exerted on the printing form in the two Edge areas of the printing form each axially facing outward Tractive forces are exerted to produce a spreading effect.

Nach der Erfindung ist insbesondere vorgesehen, daß die Druckform nicht über die gesamte Formatbreite an den Formzylinder gedrückt wird, sondern daß zum satten Aufziehen an den Formaträndern der Druckform sowohl eine in Umfangsrichtung als auch in Achsrichtung des Formzylinders nach außen gerichtete Zugkraft ausgeübt wird. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß man lediglich an den Formaträndern der Druckform eine relativ schmale Andrückrolle vorzusehen hat, welche die gewünschte Breitstreckwirkung (Zugkraft sowohl im Umfangs- als auch in Axialrichtung) auf die Druckform ausübt.According to the invention it is particularly provided that the printing form not pressed against the forme cylinder over the entire width of the format is, but that to the full opening on the format edges of the Printing form both in the circumferential direction and in the axial direction of the forme cylinder is exerted tensile force. This has the advantage that you can only on the format edges Printing form has to provide a relatively narrow pressure roller, which the desired spreading effect (tensile force in both the circumferential and also in the axial direction) on the printing form.

Die Anwendung der Erfindung ist nicht auf Druckformen beschränkt, welche bei nach dem Hochdruck- bzw. Flexodruckverfahren arbeitenden Lackiereinrichtungen oder dgl. verwendet werden. Nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Prinzip lassen sich selbstverständlich auch Druckformen für Flachdruckmaschinen auf den Formzylinder aufziehen. Hier seien die Druckplatten einer Bogenoffsetdruckmaschine als Beispiel genannt.The application of the invention is not limited to printing forms, which work with the high-pressure or flexographic printing process Painting equipment or the like can be used. According to the invention Of course, principle can also be used for printing forms Mount the planographic printing machine on the forme cylinder. Here are the Printing plates of a sheetfed offset printing machine mentioned as an example.

Des weiteren erfolgt die Erläuterung eines Ausführungsbeispieles anhand der Zeichnungen.Furthermore, an exemplary embodiment is explained based on the drawings.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Formzylinder 1, um dessen Außenumfang eine Druckform 2 teilweise aufgezogen ist. Die Druckform 2 wurde dazu mit ihrer Vorderkante an einer Klemmeinrichtung in der Grube des Formzylinders 1 befestigt. Das Aufziehen der Druckform 2 geschieht dabei durch Drehen des Formzylinders 1 in Richtung des dargestellten Pfeil es also in Richtung des Druckbetriebes.Fig. 1 shows a forme cylinder 1, around the outer circumference Printing form 2 is partially wound. Printing form 2 became one of them with its front edge on a clamping device in the pit of the Forme cylinder 1 attached. The mounting of the printing form 2 happens thereby by rotating the forme cylinder 1 in the direction shown So arrow it in the direction of printing.

In Fig. 1 ist ferner eine an dem Formzylinder 1 an- und bezüglich diesem wieder abstellbare Andrückrolle 3. Die Andrückrolle 3 ist dabei nicht als durchgehende Walze oder dgl. ausgebildet, sondern erfindungsgemäß sind zwei jeweils auf den linken und rechten Formatrand der Druckform 2 einwirkende Andrückrollen vorgesehen. In Fig. 1 is also on and with respect to the forme cylinder 1 this again lockable pressure roller 3. The pressure roller 3 is not designed as a continuous roller or the like, but according to the invention, two are on the left and right Format edge of the printing form 2 acting pressure rollers are provided.

Diese sind in an sich bekannter Weise gestellfest gelagert und entsprechend den Formzylinder 1 gegenüber an- und abstellbar ausgebildet.These are mounted and fixed to the frame in a manner known per se corresponding to the forme cylinder 1 on and off educated.

Fig. 2 zeigt seine Ansicht auf den Formzylinder 1 mit der zum Teil um diesen aufgezogenen Druckform 2. Mit dem nach unten gerichteten Pfeil ist dabei die Drehrichtung des Formzylinders 1 beim Aufziehen der Druckform 2 wiedergegeben.Fig. 2 shows his view of the forme cylinder 1 with the part around this mounted printing form 2. With the facing downwards The arrow is the direction of rotation of the forme cylinder 1 when it is being pulled up the printing form 2 reproduced.

Auf den linken und rechten Randbereich 4 der Druckform 2 wirken erfindungsgemäß je eine in Umfangsrichtung des Formzylinders 1 gerichtete Umfangskraft FU sowie je eine von der Druckform 2 nach außen weilende axiale Zugkraft FA. Es gibt somit an dem linken und rechten Randbereich 4 je eine nach links oben bzw. rechts oben gerichtete resultierende Zugkraft FR, welche der Richtung des Aufziehens der Druckform 2 entgegen gerichtet ist.Act on the left and right edge area 4 of the printing form 2 According to the invention, one in the circumferential direction of the forme cylinder 1 directed circumferential force FU and one each from printing form 2 external axial tensile force FA. So there is on the left and right edge area 4 one to the top left and one to the top right resultant tensile force FR, which corresponds to the direction of the Pulling the printing form 2 is directed opposite.

Die Wirkung einer der auf den die beiden Randbereiche 4 der Druckform 2 ausgeübten resultierenden Zugkräfte FR ist dabei dergestalt, daß die Druckform 2 auch in Achsrichtung auf die Oberfläche des Formzylinders 1 aufgespannt wird. Bei dieser Art der Ausübung von Zugkräften auf die Druckform 2 ist es somit nicht nötig die Druckform 2 auch in deren mittleren Bereich, welche zwischen den Randbereichen 4 gelegen sind, also dort wo das druckende Sujet angeordnet ist, gegen den Formzylinder 1 zu drücken. Die resultierenden Zugkräfte FR im linken und rechten Randbereich 4 der Druckform 2 erzeugen dabei eine ausreichende Breitstreckwirkung.The effect of one of the two edge areas 4 of the printing form 2 exerted resulting tensile forces FR is such that the printing form 2 also in the axial direction on the surface of the Forme cylinder 1 is clamped. With this type of exercise Tensile forces on the printing form 2 are therefore not necessary for the printing form 2 also in the middle area, which is between the edge areas 4 are located, i.e. where the printing subject is arranged is to press against the forme cylinder 1. The resulting Tensile forces FR in the left and right edge area 4 of the printing form 2 generate a sufficient spreading effect.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine einfache erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung, um die zuvorstehend beschriebenen resultierenden Zugkräfte FR am linken und rechten Randbereich 4 der Druckform 2 einwirken zu lassen. Dargestellt ist ein Teil der Druckform 2 mit dem linken Randbereich 4 gemäß Fig. 2. Die den linken Randbereich 4 der Druckform 2 zugeordnete Andrückrolle 3 ist windschief mit ihrer Achse gegenüber der Achse des Formzylinders 1 angeordnet, wobei die Achse des Formzylinders mit A gekennzeichnet ist. Aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit ist eine an- und abstellbare Lagerung bzw. Halterung der Andrückrolle 3 gegenüber dem Formzylinder 1 nicht wiedergegeben. Derartige Lagerungen sind aber an sich bekannt und bedürfen daher keiner weitergehenden Erläuterung.Fig. 3 shows a simple embodiment of the invention to the resulting tensile forces FR described above on the left and to allow the right edge area 4 of the printing form 2 to act. A part of the printing form 2 is shown with the left edge area 4 according to FIG. 2. The left edge area 4 of the printing form 2 assigned pressure roller 3 is skewed with its axis opposite arranged the axis of the forme cylinder 1, the axis of the Forme cylinder is marked with A. For the sake of clarity is an adjustable and removable storage or mounting of the Pressure roller 3 is not shown in relation to the forme cylinder 1. Such bearings are known per se and therefore require no further explanation.

Entsprechend der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Anordnung der Andrückrolle 3 und deren Zusammenwirken mit dem linken Randbereich 4 der Druckform 2 ist den rechten Randbereich 4 der Druckform 2 ebenfalls eine Andrückrolle 3 spiegelbildlich zugeordnet (nicht dargestellt).According to the arrangement of the pressure roller 3 shown in FIG. 3 and their interaction with the left edge area 4 of the printing form 2 is the right edge area 4 of the printing form 2 also one Pressure roller 3 assigned in mirror image (not shown).

Fig. 4 zeigt einen Schnitt durch eine sogenannte Nyloflex-Platte, die bei Lackiereinrichtungen einsetzbar sind, welche nach dem Hochdruck- bzw. Flexodruckverfahren arbeiten. Auf einem Alu-Träger 5 nach Art einer Offsetdruckplatte ist entsprechend dem druckenden bzw. nichtdruckenden Sujet ein Klischee 6 aufgebracht, welches an den druckenden Stellen eine definierte Stärke und in den nichtdruckenden Stellen entsprechende Ausnehmungen aufweist. Auch bei dieser Druckform 2 ist der linke Randbereich 4 dargestellt. Die Druckform 2 ist dabei in ihrem Format derartig gewählt, daß der linke und rechte streifenförmige Randbereich 4 nicht eingefärbt wird und somit auch nicht druckt. Entsprechend ist auch der Randbereich 4 der gleichen Stärke wie das Klischee 6 im druckenden Bereich ausgebildet. Die Randbereiche 4 dienen lediglich dem Zusammenwirken der erfindungsgemäßen Andrückrollen 3 zum Aufziehen der Druckform 2.4 shows a section through a so-called Nyloflex plate, which can be used in painting equipment which after High pressure or flexographic printing work. On an aluminum support 5 in the manner of an offset printing plate is corresponding to the printing or non-printing subject applied a cliché 6, which a defined thickness in the printing areas and in the non-printing areas Has corresponding recesses. Also at This printing form 2 shows the left edge area 4. The Printing form 2 is chosen in its format such that the left and right stripe-shaped edge area 4 not colored and therefore does not print. The edge area is also corresponding 4 of the same strength as the cliché 6 in the printing Area trained. The edge areas 4 serve only that Interaction of the pressure rollers 3 according to the invention for winding the printing form 2.

Anstelle von zylinderförmigen Andrückrollen 3 (Fig. 3) können selbstverständlich auch konisch geformte Andrückrollen zur Erzeugung der erfindungsgemäßen Breitstreckwirkung eingesetzt werden. Instead of cylindrical pressure rollers 3 (Fig. 3) can of course also conical pressure rollers for production the spreading effect according to the invention can be used.
