Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the automatic feeding of Printing plates according to the preamble of claim 1 and one corresponding device according to the preamble of claim 6.
  • DE 3 940 796 C2 describes a method and device for automatic change of a printing plate is known, procedurally is provided, the correct location of the Pressure plate front edge in the open clamping rail by means of a position detection. Only when the printing plate leading edge is in a correct position, the clamping takes place the printing plate leading edge.
  • the pressure plate is between a powered transport roller and an employee Counter pressure roller the plate cylinder or the front clamping rail fed. It is further provided according to this document that if the position detection does not result in a register-compliant system, Feeding process is carried out by the transport roller. This Process should be repeated several times, then, if still no registration of the leading edge of the printing plate it can be determined to be canceled.
  • Such an approach has the disadvantage, however, that the printing plate may have to great force in the detection area of the open clamping rail is introduced and there may be damage.
  • register pins are opposite the plate cylinder or the clamping rail arranged electrically insulated so that a register System through the electrically conductive pressure plate leading edge (U-shaped cut-outs work with the register pins together at the front edge of the printing plate) that between register pins and plate cylinder or clamping rail a circuit is closed. According to this writing, however provided that in the axial direction of the plate cylinder from each other spaced register pins arranged in the clamping rail collectively, i.e. connected in series, queried will.
  • a correct system is only signaled if the Pressure plate with its punched holes on both register pins is correct at the same time.
  • a unilaterally oblique system of Pressure plate on only one register pin cannot be determined, in particular, it is therefore not possible to determine which of the register pins the pressure plate abuts or does not abut.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method according to the Preamble of claim 1 and a device according to to extend the preamble of claim 6 such that the above Disadvantages described can be avoided and always a correct feeding of the printing plate is guaranteed.
  • the register-compliant system of Pressure plate in the associated fastening device of the plate cylinder spaced from each other in its axial direction and independent of each other, i.e. separated according to A-side and B-side determine. Is the correct one at the two query locations at the same time If the pressure plate is in contact, the clamping takes place the printing plate front edge and switching off the by the Funding caused feed movement.
  • the funding which in the inventive method can be used, it can be linearly movable suction cups, Transport and counter pressure rollers or other feed devices act which both allow the pressure plate towards To promote plate cylinders as well as to release them, i.e. the To give up contact with the pressure plate.
  • the funding as counter pressure rollers and transport rollers formed, with at least one of these roles opposite the other is mounted on and off. Im employee Condition these rollers promote the pressure plate when the rollers are separated from each other, the pressure plate is in between formed gap freely movable.
  • the invention is based on the embodiment described not limited with the transport rollers and counter pressure rollers. It can also use linearly movable suction cups or with vacuum loadable suction tapes are used. By switching off of the suction air, it is also possible to use the pressure plate to release and thus enable her to to take up a tension-free new position, and then a new one Initiate funding process.
  • Fig. 2 shows part of a plate cylinder 1 with an in the axially parallel pit arranged and the beginning of printing Pressure plate 3 assigned clamping rail 2. This extends across the format width of the printing plate 3 or the plate cylinder 1. Recognizable, the clamping rail 2 has an opening and closing closing detection area, in which the front edge of the Pressure plate 3 is insertable.
  • Fig. 2 shows here only a pair of a counter pressure roller 4 and a transport roller 5.
  • the axes of the counter pressure rollers 4 and the transport rollers 5 are parallel to that of the Plate cylinder 1.
  • the rotatable mounting of the counter pressure roller 4 is in this embodiment designed as a fixed frame.
  • pivotable suspension of the transport rollers 5 (the associated Drive is not shown) can the transport roller 5 with light pressure can be applied to the counter pressure roller 4.
  • the pressure plate 3 Between the counter pressure rollers 4 and the employed transport rollers 5 is the pressure plate 3.
  • the driven Transport rollers 5 becomes the pressure plate 3 or its leading edge introduced into the detection area of the clamping rail 2.
  • Fig. 2 is the broken position of the transport rollers 5 shown, the on and off storage of the transport rollers 5 is additionally indicated by the double arrow.
  • the on and off of the transport rollers 5 on the counter pressure rollers 4 or the rear of the pressure plate 3 effecting adjusting means are also not shown. That the driven Transport rollers 5 act on the back of the pressure plate 3 the advantage that any slipping will not cause any damage the front of the printing plate.
  • the pressure plate 3 on her Front edge has two U-shaped punchings 7, which with the Clamping rail 2 in the axial direction of the plate cylinder, not shown 1 spaced register pins 6 work together.
  • These register pins 6 are not individually one shown and controlling the entire printing plate change process Electronics can be queried, i.e. of this electronics is ascertainable and also displayable when the pressure plate 3 or the edge of the punched out 7 rests on one of these register pins 6.
  • the register pins 6 are in particular electrically insulated from the clamping rail 2 or plate cylinder 1 and by not shown Lines or buttons connected to the electronics described.
  • Fig. 1 shows the timing of the supply or the invention provided queries.
  • the process of feeding is now described the pressure plate 3 starting from a position as in Fig. 3 is indicated.
  • the transport rollers 5 (Fig. 2) are on the Counter pressure rollers 4 turned on, so that the front edge of the pressure plate 3 still a certain way to the detection area of the Clamp rail 2 has to cover.
  • the plate cylinder 1 has this a certain position and remains during the Inserting the pressure plate 3 into the clamping rail 2 at a standstill.
  • the front edge of the Pressure plate 3 gradually in the open detection area of the Clamping rail 2 is inserted, assuming that it by different friction conditions or other influences a slightly skewed feed of the pressure plate 3 into the detection area the clamping rail 2 comes.
  • FIG. 4 comes from the movement of the transport rollers 5 the punched out 7 on the A side first in the system to the register pin 6.
  • this point in time is T1 featured.
  • the top time axis shows when the transport roller 5 on the counter-pressure roller 4 or from it is turned off.
  • the two timelines below show the Signals of the register queries, i.e. when the respective die cuts 7 on the A and B side with the associated and separated queryable register pins 6 comes into contact.
  • a missing one Contact of the pressure plate 3 with the register pins 6 means that the signal remains at zero, whereupon a concern of Pressure plate 3 on register pin 6 the change of signal from zero effect on one.
  • the transport rollers 5 can now be turned off by the counter pressure rollers 4 (of course the drive of the transport rollers is also switched off 5) whereupon the plate cylinder 1 in the indicated by the arrow Direction is rotated so that the pressure plate 3 around its outer circumference is raised. Then this is clamped not shown end of the pressure plate in a also not shown clamping and tensioning device.
