Abstract

The screen (5) has a coating of photographic material (6) at least at predetermined intervals. The frame has two lengthwise profiled members (1,2) of spring material and which are joined by two rigid profiled transverse ones (3,4). External force bends the lengthwise members into at leat a part-cylindrical shape, while they spring back into the flat position when this is released. The spring members can be of arched and particularly flat U-section, and they can be of spring sheet-metal. The transverse members can have a quick-acting locking device holding the screen in the form of a screen-printing cylinder.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Siebdruckschablonenträger in Form eines rechteckigen flachen Gebildes mit einer zumindest in vorbestimmten Abschnitten aus einer Photoschicht bestehenden Beschichtung.The present invention relates to a screen printing stencil carrier in the form of a rectangular flat structure with a coating consisting at least in predetermined sections of a photo layer.

Bei der Herstellung von grossformatigen Rotationssiebdruckzylindern stehen heute grundsätzlich zwei Systeme zur Verfügung, nämlich:

  • a) Endlos Zylinder, bei denen die Grundstruktur, d.h. der eigentliche Schablonenträger, als Zylinder hergestellt wird. Die Weiterverarbeitung zu einer druckfähigen Schablone erfolgt am Zylinder selbst. Der Arbeitsablauf ist relativ aufwendig, und die dazu erforderlichen Einrichtungen sind den jeweiligen Zylinderdurchmessern und Zylinderlängen anzupassen. Mit diesen Zylindern ist es möglich, sog. "endlose" Drucke herzustellen.
  • b) Endliche Zylinder, deren Grundstruktur, d.h. der eigentliche Schablonenträger, als flaches Material im Band- oder Bogenformat hergestellt wird. Hier erfolgt die Weiterverarbeitung im flachen Zustand. Als letzter Arbeitsschritt vor dem Druckprozess erfolgt hier die Bildung eines Druckzylinders, was relativ aufwendige und sorgfältige Montageschritte bedingt. Die Verarbeitungseinrichtungen sind praktisch formatunabhängig, da Zylinderdurchmesser und -länge nur einen beschränkten Einfluss haben.
There are basically two systems available today for the production of large-format rotary screen printing cylinders, namely:
  • a) Endless cylinders in which the basic structure, ie the actual template carrier, is produced as a cylinder. The further processing into a printable stencil takes place on the cylinder itself. The workflow is relatively complex and the facilities required for this are to be adapted to the respective cylinder diameters and cylinder lengths. With these cylinders it is possible to produce so-called "endless" prints.
  • b) Finite cylinders, the basic structure, ie the actual template carrier, is produced as a flat material in the form of a ribbon or sheet. Further processing takes place here in a flat state. The last step before the printing process is the formation of a printing cylinder, which requires relatively complex and careful assembly steps. The processing equipment is practically independent of the format, since cylinder diameter and length have only a limited influence.

Bei diesen Zylindern ist durch die Zylindernaht immer ein Unterbruch vorhanden. Sie ermöglichen jedoch das kostengünstige Drucken mit Zylindersegmenten, da lediglich im Druckabschnitt eine relativ teure Schablone notwendig ist (der restliche Zylindermantel kann z.B. durch eine kostengünstige Folie gebildet sein).With these cylinders there is always an interruption due to the cylinder seam. However, they enable inexpensive printing with cylinder segments, since only a relatively expensive stencil is required in the printing section (the remaining cylinder jacket can be formed, for example, by an inexpensive film).

Die heutigen Schablonen dieser Art werden praktisch ausschliesslich als sog. Einwegschablonen eingesetzt, mit Drucklängen bis ca. 650 mm und Druckbreiten bis ca. 400 mm.Today's stencils of this type are used practically exclusively as so-called disposable stencils, with print lengths up to approx. 650 mm and print widths up to approx. 400 mm.

Die praktischen Erfahrungen mit herkömmlichen Schablonen haben gezeigt, dass ein Handling von grösseren Formaten kaum möglich ist. Eine Zylinderbildung im Druckwerk selbst und eine Wiederverwendung der Schablone sind praktisch unmöglich.Practical experience with conventional stencils has shown that handling larger formats is hardly possible. Cylinder formation in the printing unit itself and reuse of the stencil are practically impossible.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Schaffung von Siebdruckschablonenträgern, welche sich auch für die Bildung von Siebdruckzylindern mit grossen Drucklängen (über 1000 mm) und Druckbreiten (über 700 mm) eignen. Die eigentliche Schablonenherstellung soll dabei im flachen Zustand erfolgen und die Wiederverwendbarkeit des Schablonenträgers gewährleistet sein. Die Bildung zum Druckzylinder im Druckwerk selbst und die Rückführung in den flachen Zustand soll ohne grossen Aufwand möglich sein.The object of the present invention is to provide screen printing stencil carriers which are also suitable for the formation of screen printing cylinders with long printing lengths (over 1000 mm) and printing widths (over 700 mm). The actual stencil production should take place in the flat state and the reusability of the stencil carrier should be guaranteed. The formation of the printing cylinder in the printing unit itself and the return to the flat state should be possible without great effort.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Siebdruckschablonenträger der eingangs definierten Art erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass der Schablonenträger unter Bildung einer Siebdruckplatte an einem Hilfsrahmen, bestehend aus zwei Längsprofilen und zwei die beiden Längsprofile miteinander verbindenden steifen Querprofilen, angebracht ist, wobei die Längsprofile aus federndem Material bestehen und im Querschnitt so ausgebildet sind, dass sie sich durch äussere Kraftanwendung aus der flachen Form federelastisch verbiegen lassen, um die Siebdruckplatte mindestens zu einem Teilzylinder zu formen, sich bei Wegnahme der äusseren Kräfte jedoch selbsttätig wieder in ihre flache Ausgangsform zurückbilden.This object is achieved according to the invention in the case of a screen printing stencil carrier of the type defined in the introduction in that the stencil carrier is attached to an auxiliary frame consisting of two longitudinal profiles and two rigid transverse profiles connecting the two longitudinal profiles to one another, forming the screen printing plate, the longitudinal profiles being made of resilient Material exist and are designed in cross-section such that they can be resiliently bent from the flat shape by external force in order to form the screen printing plate at least into a partial cylinder, but automatically revert to its flat initial shape when the external forces are removed.

Dank dem erfindungsgemäss eingesetzten Hilfsrahmen wird eine knitter- und fehlerfreie Schablonenherstellung auch im Grossformat möglich. Ferner ist eine einfache und faltenfreie Zylinderformung direkt im Druckwerk problemlos gewährleistet und ein mehrmaliger Druckeinsatz der Schablone garantiert.Thanks to the auxiliary frame used according to the invention, crease-free and error-free stencil production is also possible in large format. In addition, simple and wrinkle-free cylinder formation is guaranteed without any problems directly in the printing unit and repeated use of the stencil is guaranteed.

Andererseits kann die flache Siebdruckplatte, gebildet aus dem eigentlichen Schablonenträger und dem damit verbundenen Hilfsrahmen, dank der besonderen Ausgestaltung der Rahmen-Längsprofile problemlos im Druckwerk selbst zu einem Zylinder geformt und auf die Zylindernaben aufgesetzt werden, ohne dass dank des geschlossenen Hilfsrahmens der Schablonenträger beschädigt, zerknittert oder anderweitig verformt würde.On the other hand, thanks to the special design of the frame longitudinal profiles, the flat screen printing plate, formed from the actual stencil holder and the associated subframe, can easily be formed into a cylinder in the printing unit itself and placed on the cylinder hubs without the stencil holder being damaged thanks to the closed subframe. would be wrinkled or otherwise deformed.

Dies wird dadurch möglich, dass die Biegesteifigkeit der Längsprofile beschränkt ist (ausreichend für eine normale Steifigkeit der flachen Platte, jedoch durch normalen äusseren Kraftaufwand verbiegbar). Die Befestigung des eigentlichen Schablonenträgers auf den Längsprofilen des Rahmens, z.B. durch Aufkleben, sollte möglichst im Bereich der neutralen Biegestelle des Profils erfolgen.This is made possible by the fact that the bending stiffness of the longitudinal profiles is limited (sufficient for a normal stiffness of the flat plate, but can be bent by normal external force). The attachment of the actual template carrier on the longitudinal profiles of the frame, e.g. by sticking on, if possible in the area of the neutral bending point of the profile.

Die Rahmenprofile, insbesondere die Längsprofile, sind üblicherweise durch Metallbänder (federhartes Blech) gebildet und weisen einen besonderen Querschnitt (ähnlich den bombierten Storenlamellen) auf, welcher ausreichende Rahmenstabilität im flachen Zustand gewährleistet, jedoch eine Verbiegung (Zylinderformung) durch leichte äussere Krafteinwirkung ermöglicht (nach Ueberschreiten des jeweiligen "Knickpunktes").The frame profiles, in particular the longitudinal profiles, are usually formed by metal strips (spring-hard sheet metal) and have a special cross section (similar to the cambered ones) Blind slats), which ensures sufficient frame stability in the flat state, but allows bending (cylinder formation) due to slight external force (after exceeding the respective "break point").

Besondere Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemässen Siebdruckschablonenträgers sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen definiert.Particular embodiments of the screen printing stencil support according to the invention are defined in the dependent claims.

So bilden z.B. die Querprofile des Rahmens einen Schnellverschlussmechanismus (z.B. Z-Profilierung), welche zusammen mit einer Verschlussleiste die Bildung eines geschlossenen Zylinders erlauben. Diese Querprofile erhalten dank dieser Ausbildung auch eine maximale Biegesteifigkeit bei minimaler Blechdicke.For example, the cross profiles of the frame have a quick-release mechanism (e.g. Z-profile), which, together with a locking bar, allow the formation of a closed cylinder. Thanks to this design, these cross profiles also have maximum bending stiffness with a minimum sheet thickness.

Da die Siebdruckschablone ausserhalb des Druckwerkes immer als flache Platte vorliegt, ist eine Bearbeitung vor und nach dem Druckeinsatz mittels der im Flachsiebdruck üblichen Geräte und Vorrichtungen möglich (keine Spezialgeräte erforderlich).Since the screen printing stencil is always available as a flat plate outside the printing unit, processing before and after printing is possible using the devices and devices customary in flat screen printing (no special equipment required).

Die einzelnen Rahmenprofile werden üblicherweise durch Verschweissen miteinander verbunden.The individual frame profiles are usually connected to one another by welding.

Die Verbindung des Schablonenträgers (Kunststoff- oder Metallgewebe oder Lochfolie, mit aufgebrachter Photoschicht) mit dem Hilfsrahmen erfolgt vorzugsweise durch Verkleben oder Verschweissen.The stencil carrier (plastic or metal mesh or perforated film, with an applied photo layer) is preferably connected to the auxiliary frame by gluing or welding.

Dank der erfindungsgemässen Ausbildung des Schablonenträgers (Hilfsrahmen) lassen sich grossformatige Siebdruckplatten praktisch aller Abmessungen herstellen und als Siebdruckzylinder im rotativen Siebdruck einsetzen. Dabei können die Abmessungen der Längs- und Querprofile des Hilfsrahmens problemlos den jeweiligen Anforderungen angepasst werden.Thanks to the design of the template carrier (subframe) according to the invention, large-format screen printing plates can be made produce practically all dimensions and use them as screen printing cylinders in rotary screen printing. The dimensions of the longitudinal and transverse profiles of the subframe can be easily adapted to the respective requirements.

Der erfindungsgemässe Schablonenträger, welcher sich zur Bildung von Druckzylindern eignet, könnte selbstverständlich auch im flachen Zustand, d.h. als Siebdruckplatte, eingesetzt werden.The stencil support according to the invention, which is suitable for forming impression cylinders, could of course also be in the flat state, i.e. can be used as a screen printing plate.

Der Grundschablonenträger in Form eines rechteckigen flachen Gebildes besteht üblicherweise aus einem stabilisierten Gewebe oder einer Folie, vorgelocht z.B. als Galvanoschablone oder nachgelocht, z.B. geätzt oder mit Laser bearbeitet.The basic template support in the form of a rectangular flat structure usually consists of a stabilized fabric or a film, pre-punched e.g. as electroplating template or post-punched, e.g. etched or laser processed.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels noch etwas näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it:
Fig. 1

Fig. 1 der Zeichnung zeigt schematisch einen Hilfsrahmen, bestehend aus zwei Längsprofilen 1, 2 und zwei damit verschweissten steifen Querprofilen 3, 4. Dieser Hilfsrahmen ist im flachen Zustand relativ stabil, d.h. er bleibt auch bei Manipulationen in der flachen Plattenform. Wie insbesondere auch Fig. 2 zeigt, ist ein Schablonenträger 5 in Form eines stabilisierten Gewebes, insbesondere eines Metallgewebes oder einer Lochfolie, mit darauf mindestens in Abschnitten aufgebrachter Photoschicht 6, beidseitig auf den Längsprofilen 1, 2 des Hilfsrahmens festgemacht (z.B. aufgeklebt). Das Besondere an der ganzen Konstruktion ist nicht nur der Hilfsrahmen allein, sondern die Ausgestaltung der Längsprofile 1, 2: Diese haben im Querschnitt die Form von bombierten Blechlamellen, welche sich durch äussere Krafteinwirkung verbiegen lassen, so dass aus dem mit Hilfsrahmen versehenen Siebdruckschablonenträger auf einfachste Weise ein Druckzylinder gebildet werden kann.Fig. 1 of the drawing shows schematically an auxiliary frame consisting of two longitudinal profiles 1, 2 and two welded to it rigid cross sections 3, 4. This subframe is relatively stable in the flat state, ie it remains in the flat plate shape even when manipulated. As also shown in FIG. 2 in particular, a template support 5 in the form of a stabilized fabric, in particular a metal fabric or a perforated film, with a photo layer 6 applied thereon at least in sections, is fastened on both sides to the longitudinal profiles 1, 2 of the subframe (for example glued on). What is special about the entire construction is not only the subframe alone, but also the design of the longitudinal profiles 1, 2: These have the shape of cambered sheet metal lamellae in cross section, which can be bent by external force, so that it is easiest to use the screen printing stencil support provided with the subframe Way a pressure cylinder can be formed.

Um den Zylindermantel zu schliessen, sind die Querprofile vorzugsweise zur Bildung eines Schnellverschlusses (siehe Fig. 3 und 4) zusammen mit einer Schliessleiste 7 ausgebildet.In order to close the cylinder jacket, the cross profiles are preferably designed to form a quick-release fastener (see FIGS. 3 and 4) together with a closing bar 7.

Sobald die äusseren Kräfte nicht mehr auf den gebogenen Schablonenträger mit Hilfsrahmen einwirken, bildet sich dieser automatisch wieder in die flache Plattenform zurück.As soon as the external forces no longer act on the curved template support with subframe, it automatically re-forms into the flat plate shape.

Die Befestigung des Schablonenträgers (Gewebe 5, 6) an den Längsprofilen 1, 2 erfolgt bevorzugt im Bereich der neutralen Zone der letzteren (keine Einwirkung beim Verbiegen). Bei Verwendung eines geeigneten Klebstoffes ist der Befestigungsort jedoch unkritisch.The template carrier (fabric 5, 6) is preferably attached to the longitudinal profiles 1, 2 in the area of the neutral zone of the latter (no action during bending). If a suitable adhesive is used, the location is not critical.

Die Verbindungsleiste 7 für die Querprofile 3, 4 kann auch von der Seite her aufgeschoben werden.The connecting bar 7 for the cross sections 3, 4 can also be pushed from the side.

Der Siebdruckzylinder kann im Druckwerk selbst montiert werden, dies durch Auflegen des sich biegenden Schablonenträgers auf seitliche Tragscheiben (Naben) für den Zylinder.The screen printing cylinder can be installed in the printing unit itself, by placing the stencil holder on the side support discs (hubs) for the cylinder.

Der grosse Vorteil der erfindungsgemässen Siebdruckschablone liegt darin, dass alle Bearbeitungsschritte (u.a. die Herstellung der eigentlichen Schablone bzw. Druckvorlage; Bearbeitungen zur Wiederverwendung etc.) im flachen Zustand erfolgen können, und dass die Ausbildung als Zylinder auf einfachste Weise auch im Druckwerk selbst erfolgen kann.The great advantage of the screen printing stencil according to the invention lies in the fact that all processing steps (including the production of the actual stencil or printing template; processing for reuse, etc.) can be carried out in a flat state, and that the formation as a cylinder can also be carried out in the simplest way in the printing unit itself .
