Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Feuchtwerk für eine Offsetdruckmaschine, das mit einem Farbwerk und einem, eine Druckform tragenden Plattenzylinder in Wirkverbindung steht.The invention relates to a dampening system for a Offset printing machine with an inking unit and a plate cylinder in a printing form Active connection is established.

Ein Feuchtwerk dieser Art ist aus der DE 3 416 845 A1 bekannt. Danach besteht ein Feuchtwerk im wesentlichen aus einer Zuführeinrichtung für das Feuchtmittel, einer Einrichtung zur Dosierung des Feuchtmittelfilmes sowie einer Auftragwalze, die den Feuchtmittelfilm an einen Platterzylinder überträgt und mit dem benachbarten Farbwerk gekoppelt oder auch getrennt betrieben werden kann. Die Feuchtauftragwalze kann dabei zum Plattenzylinder eine unterschiedliche Umfangsgeschwindigkeit aufweisen, so daß ein beispielsweise Fremdpartikel beseitigender Wischeffekt entsteht.A dampening unit of this type is known from DE 3 416 845 A1 known. Then there is a dampening system in the essentially from a feeder for the Fountain solution, a device for dosing the Fountain solution film and an applicator roller, the Transfers dampening solution film to a platter cylinder and coupled with the neighboring inking unit or also can be operated separately. The dampening roller can be different to the plate cylinder Have peripheral speed so that a for example, wiping effect removing foreign particles arises.

Aus der DE 3 432 807 A1 in Verbindung mit der US-PS 4 724 764 ist ein weiterführendes Feuchtwerk bekannt. Neben wahlweise unterschiedlichen Umfangsgeschwindigkeiten von Plattenzylinder und Feuchtauftragwalze ist eine farbaufnehmende Walze als sogenannte Reiterwalze der Feuchtauftragwalze zugeordnet. Die farbaufnehmende Walze rotiert dabei mit einer zum Platterzylinder unterschiedlichen Umfangsgeschwindigkeit und kann mit einem benachbarten Farbwerk gekoppelt oder von diesem getrennt betrieben werden.From DE 3 432 807 A1 in connection with the U.S. Patent No. 4,724,764 is a continuing dampening system known. In addition to different peripheral speeds of plate cylinder and dampening roller is an ink receptive roller as so-called rider roller assigned to the dampening roller. The ink-absorbing roller rotates with it a different peripheral speed to the platter cylinder and can be with an adjacent Inking unit coupled or operated separately from this become.

Nachteilig bei diesen Ausführungen ist es, daß die auf der Feuchtauftragwalze sich ansammelnde Farbe in das Feuchtwerk geführt wird und damit das Farb-/Feuchtmittelgleichgewicht beeinträchtigt wird. Diese Beeinträchtigungen zeigen sich in Form von Schablonieren oder Kordstreifen (Schlieren).A disadvantage of these designs is that the one that accumulates on the dampening roller Ink is fed into the dampening system and thus the Color / fountain solution balance is impaired. These impairments are shown in the form of Stenciling or cord strips (streaks).

Gemäß GB-A- 20 35 903 ist ein Feuchtwerk für Rotationsdruckmaschinen mit einer Duktorwalze, einer Feuchtwerkwalze und einer Zwischen- und Auftragwalze bekannt. Der Zwischen-und Auftragwalze ist nach der Kontaktstelle mit dem Plattenzylinder eine Farbwerkswalze als Kontaktstelle nachgeordnet, der eine Feuchtmittel aufnehmende Pufferwalze als weitere Kontaktstelle zusätzlich nachgeordnet ist. Die Pufferwalze soll vorübergehend einen Feuchtmittelüberschuß speichern und allmählich an die Zwischen- und Auftragwalze zurückgeben. Der Feuchtmittelüberschuß resultiert aus dem vor Feuchtwerk der Zwischen- und Auftragwalze zugeführten, jedoch vom Plattenzylinderkanal nicht aufgenommenen, Angebot an Feuchtmittel.According to GB-A-20 35 903 a dampening system is for Rotary printing presses with a duct roller, one Dampening roller and an intermediate and applicator roller known. The intermediate and applicator roller is after an inking roller at the point of contact with the plate cylinder subordinate as contact point, the one Buffer roller absorbing dampening solution as further contact point is additionally subordinate. The buffer roller should temporarily store a dampening solution excess and gradually to the intermediate and applicator roller hand back. The dampening solution excess results from the pre-dampening of the intermediate and Applicator roller fed, but from the plate cylinder channel not included, supply of dampening solution.

Schließlich ist aus EP-A- 0 450 155 eine Steuerschaltung für ein Druckwerk einer Offset-Bogendruckmaschine mit einem Feuchtwerk bekannt. Die Feuchtauftragwalze des Feuchtwerkes wird vom Plattenzylinder kontaktlos abgestellt, vorgefeuchtet und anschließend im vorgefeuchteten Zustand an den Plattenzylinder angestellt und dieser befeuchtet. Daraufhin werden die Farbauftragwalzen an den Plattenzylinder angestellt. Diese Steuerschaltung soll die Menge an Makulaturbogen bei Druckbeginn spürbar reduzieren.Finally, EP-A-0 450 155 is a control circuit for a printing unit of an offset sheet-fed printing machine known with a dampening system. The The dampening roller of the dampening unit is removed from the plate cylinder turned off, pre-moistened and then in the pre-moistened state on the plate cylinder employed and this moistened. thereupon the inking rollers on the plate cylinder hired. This control circuit is designed to measure the amount Noticeably reduce waste sheets at the start of printing.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Druckqualität durch eine gleichmäßige, störungsfreie Feuchtmittelzufuhr zum Plattenzylinder spürbar zu verbessern. Gelöst wird dies erfindungsgemäß durch die Ausbildungsmerkmale der Patentansprüche 1 bis 4. Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The object of the invention is the print quality through an even, trouble-free dampening solution supply to improve the plate cylinder noticeably. Solved this is according to the invention through the training features of claims 1 to 4. Further developments result from the subclaims.

In einem Feuchtwerk mit mindestens einer Feuchtauftragwalze ist nach der Kontaktstelle von Feuchtauftragwalze und Plattenzylinder der Feuchtauftragwalze mindestens eine Feuchtmittel aufnehmende Walze als Reiterwalze zugeordnet. In einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung kann diese Reiterwalze auch eine zusätzliche Feuchtmittel aufnehmende zweite Walze (Tandemwalze) benachbart aufweisen, die ebenfalls in Kontakt mit der Feuchtauftragwalze ist. Nach der Kontaktstelle von Feuchtauftragwalze/Plattenzylinder bildet sich eine Sujet bedingte Struktur von Wasser und Farbe auf der Feuchtauftragwalze aus. Die Feuchtmittel aufnehmenden (erste und zweite) Walzen trennen überwiegend das Feuchtmittel von der Druckfarbe und führen das Feuchtmittel an veränderter Stelle in bevorzugt reduzierter Menge wieder der Feuchtauftragwalze zu. Das Farb-/Feuchtmittelgemisch wird auf der Feuchtauftragwalze als Struktur egalisiert, derart daß die Feuchtauftragwalze von der Feuchtmittelzuführeinrichtung zugeführtes Feuchtmittel erneut aufnimmt und an den Plattenzylinder transportiert. Wird diese Struktur nicht vollständig zerstört, führt dies zu einer instabilen Feuchtung. Durch eine feuchtmittelfreundliche Oberfläche der Reiterwalze bzw. von Reiterwalze und nachgeordneter Tandemwalze findet somit ein besserer Austausch von Sujetrestwasser zwischen der Feuchtauftragwalze, der Reiterwalze und gegebenenfalls der Tandemwalze und wiederum der Feuchtauftragwalze statt. Dadurch entsteht eine gleichmäßige Oberflächenstruktur auf der Feuchtauftragwalze nach dem Kontakt mit der Reiterwalze bzw. gegebenenfalls Tandemwalze. Die Feuchtmittel aufnehmenden Walzen verringern die Schablonierneigung (schattenartige Markierungen) beim Flächendruck sowie die einen ungleichmäßigen Druck bewirkenden Kordstreifen. Es wurde gefunden, daß beim erfindungsgemäß vorliegenden Feuchtwerk die Feuchtmittelzufuhr vom Feuchtduktor her verringert werden kann und auch der Einsatz von Alkohol reduziert werden kann. Das Feuchtwerk kann dabei im Druckprozeß mit dem Farbwerk gekoppelt als auch getrennt betrieben werden.In a dampening system with at least one The dampening roller is after the contact point of Damping roller and plate cylinder of the dampening roller absorbing at least one dampening solution Assigned roller as rider roller. In a preferred one Further training, this rider roller can also be a additional dampening solution absorbing second roller (Tandem roller) adjacent, which also in Is in contact with the dampening roller. After the contact point of dampening roller / plate cylinder a subject-related structure of water and color on the dampening roller. The dampening solution absorbing (First and second) rollers mostly separate the fountain solution from the printing ink and lead the dampening solution in a different place in preferred reduced amount of the dampening roller again to. The ink / dampening solution mixture is on the dampening roller equalized as structure, so that the Dampening roller from the dampening solution supply device supplied dampening solution again and on transported the plate cylinder. Will this structure not completely destroyed, this leads to an unstable Dampening. Thanks to a dampening agent-friendly surface the rider roll or rider roll and subordinate Tandem roller thus finds a better one Exchange of residual water between the dampening roller, the rider roll and possibly the Tandem roller and again the dampening roller instead of. This creates a uniform surface structure on the dampening roller after contact with the rider roller or tandem roller if necessary. The dampening roller absorbing reduces the Stencil tendency (shadow-like markings) with the surface pressure as well as the one uneven Cord stripe that creates pressure. It was found, that in the present dampening system the dampening solution supply from the dampening roller is reduced can be reduced and the use of alcohol is reduced can be. The dampening system can Printing process coupled with the inking unit as well operated separately.

Ein Platterzylinder 1 steht mit einem Feuchtwerk 4 in Wirkverbindung. Das Farbwerk 3 besteht aus mehreren Farbauftragwalzen 11, die mit farbzuführenden Walzen (nicht weiter bezeichnet) verbunden sind. Das Feuchtwerk 4 ist - in Drehrichtung des Plattenzylinders 1 betrachtet - dem Farbwerk 3 vorgeordnet und besteht im vorliegenden Beispiel aus einem Feuchtmittelbehälter 8, einem Feuchtduktor 6, einer Feuchtdosiereinrichtung 7 und einer Feuchtauftragwalze 5. Feuchtmittelbehälter 8 und Feuchtduktor 6 bilden die Feuchtmittelzuführeinrichtung 12 und die Feuchtdosiereinrichtung 7 bildet an der Spaltstelle zur Feuchtauftragwalze 5 den bereits sehr dünnen Feuchtmittelfilm aus. Der Feuchtauftragwalze 5 ist gemäß Fig. 1 eine erste Feuchtmittel aufnehmende Walze 9 in Kontakt zugeordnet. Die Walze 9 ist nach der Kontaktstelle von Feuchtauftragwalze 5/Plattenzylinder 1 der Feuchtauftragwalze 5 in deren Drehrichtung nachgeordnet. Sie ist im vorliegenden Beispiel gleichzeitig als Brückenwalze angeordnet, indem die Walze 9 mit der in Drehrichtung des Platterzylinders 1 ersten Farbauftragwalze 11 des Farbwerkes 3 in Kontakt bringbar ist. Diese Schaltstellung der Walze 9, dargestellt mittels Strichlinie, wird zur Kopplung des Feuchtwerkes 4 mit dem Farbwerk 3 zum Waschen der Walzen genutzt. Der Feuchtauftragwalze 5 ist weiterhin in deren Drehrichtung nach der Walze 9 eine weitere (zweite) Feuchtmittel aufnehmende Walze 10, als Tandemwalze bezeichnet, angeordnet. Die Walzen 9 und 10 sind mit einem axial wirkenden Changierantrieb gekoppelt. Walze 9 und Walze 10 weisen eine Oberflächenbeschichtung aus Mattchrom auf.A platter cylinder 1 stands with a dampening system 4 in operative connection. The inking unit 3 consists of several inking rollers 11, the ink to be fed Rollers (unspecified) are connected. The dampening unit 4 is - in the direction of rotation of the plate cylinder 1 considered - upstream of the inking unit 3 and in the present example consists of a dampening solution tank 8, a dampening device 6, a dampening device 7 and a dampening roller 5. The dampening solution tank 8 and dampening duct 6 form the Fountain solution supply device 12 and the dampening device 7 forms at the nip to the dampening roller 5 the already very thin dampening solution film out. The dampening roller 5 is one according to FIG. 1 first dampening roller 9 in contact assigned. The roller 9 is after the contact point of Damping roller 5 / plate cylinder 1 of the dampening roller 5 downstream in their direction of rotation. she is in the present example, simultaneously as a bridge roller arranged by the roller 9 with the in the direction of rotation of the platter cylinder 1 first inking roller 11 des Inking unit 3 can be brought into contact. This switch position the roller 9, represented by a dashed line, becomes Coupling of the dampening unit 4 with the inking unit 3 for Washing the rollers used. The dampening roller 5 is still in the direction of rotation after the roller 9 another (second) dampening roller 10, referred to as a tandem roller. The rollers 9 and 10 are with an axially acting traversing drive coupled. Roller 9 and roller 10 have one Matt chrome surface coating.

Im Druckbetrieb ist das Feuchtwerk 4 vom Farbwerk 3 an einer Trennstelle 13 (gezeigt in Fig. 2) entkoppelt, indem die Feuchtmittel führende Walze 9 von der ersten Farbauftragwalze 11 getrennt ist. Die Feuchtauftragwalze 5 wird mit einer zur Umfangsgeschwindigkeit des Plattenzylinders 1 gleichen oder abweichenden Umfangsgeschwindigkeit über einen umschaltbaren Zwangsantrieb betrieben. Vom Platterzylinder 1 wird die Drehbewegung kraftschlüssig (mittels Friktion) auf die Farbauftragwalzen 11 übertragen. Die Feuchtmittel führenden Walzen 9 und 10 können in einer weiteren Ausbildung auch eine Oberfläche aus Edelstahl oder aus einem Feuchtmittel aufnehmendem Keramikwerkstoff bestehen. So kann die Walzenoberfläche auch ein Silizium-Metall aufweisen oder zumindest Silizium in der Beschichtung enthalten sein. Die Feuchtmittel führende zweite Walze 10 ist nicht zwingend der Feuchtauftragwalze 5 zugeordnet. Vielmehr kann das Feuchtwerk 4 auch in der Ausbildung gem. Fig. 2 betrieben werden. Danach ist nur eine Feuchtmittel aufnehmende Walze 9 der Feuchtauftragwalze 5 zugeordnet. Diese Ausführung ist vorzugsweise im Einsatz, wenn die Feuchtauftragwalze 5 wenig Feuchtmittel führt. Die Walze 9 arbeitet dann vollkommen ausreichend den Feuchtmittelfilm in die auf der Feuchtauftragwalze 5 vorhandene Druckfarbe ein.In printing mode, the dampening unit 4 is from Inking unit 3 at a separation point 13 (shown in FIG. 2) decoupled by the dampening roller 9 is separated from the first inking roller 11. The Dampening roller 5 is at a peripheral speed of the plate cylinder 1 same or deviating peripheral speed over a switchable positive drive operated. From the platter cylinder 1, the rotary movement is non-positive (by means of Friction) transferred to the inking rollers 11. The dampening rollers 9 and 10 can in a further training also a surface Stainless steel or from a dampening solution Ceramic material exist. So the roller surface also have a silicon metal or at least Silicon can be contained in the coating. The dampening solution-carrying second roller 10 is not assigned to the dampening roller 5. Much more can the dampening unit 4 also in training gem. Fig. 2 are operated. After that is only one Dampening roller 9 of the dampening roller 5 assigned. This version is preferred in use when the dampening roller 5 little Fountain solution leads. The roller 9 then works perfectly sufficient in the dampening solution film on the Dampening roller 5 existing printing ink.

Neben der Feuchtauftragwalze 5 kann auch die Feuchtmittel führende Walze 9 zur Feuchtauftragwalze mit unterschiedlicher oder gleicher Umfangsgeschwindigkeit betrieben werden. Die der Walze 9 nachgeordnete Walze 10 kann dabei ebenfalls in unterschiedlicher oder gleicher Umfangsgeschwindigkeit zur Feuchtauftragwalze 5 betrieben werden. Die Zylindermantellänge der Walzen 9 und 10 ist vorzugsweise identisch mit der Länge des Kreisbogens des Kanals des Plattenzylinders 1.In addition to the dampening roller 5, the Dampening solution roller 9 to the dampening roller with different or the same peripheral speed operate. The downstream of the roller 9 Roller 10 can also be different or the same peripheral speed to the dampening roller 5 operated. The cylinder jacket length the rollers 9 and 10 is preferably identical to that Length of the circular arc of the channel of the plate cylinder 1.

Abhängig vom Sujet bildet sich nach der Kontaktstelle von Feuchtauftragwalze 5 / Plattenzylinder 1 auf der Feuchtauftragwalze 5 eine Struktur von Feuchtmittel und Farbe. Durch die feuchtmittelfreundliche Walze 9, einschließlich bei Verwendung einer weiteren feuchtmittelfreundlichen Walze 10, wird diese Struktur egalisiert. Die Oberflächenstruktur des Farb-/Feuchtmittelgemisches wird auf der Feuchtauftragwalze 5 gleichmäßig verteilt. Neben der Feuchtmittelzuführeinrichtung 12 haben die Walzen 9 und 10 eine Sperrfünktion gegenüber der Farbe auf dere Feuchtauftragwalze 5, die spürbar den Rücktransport von Druckfarbe in das Feuchtwerk 4 verhindert und gleichzeitig eine stabile Feuchtmitteldosierung in Form eines sehr dünnen Feuchtfilmes gewährleistet.Depending on the subject, forms after the contact point of dampening roller 5 / plate cylinder 1 on the dampening roller 5 a structure of dampening solution and color. Thanks to the dampening agent-friendly Roller 9, including when using another dampening agent-friendly roller 10, this structure equalized. The surface structure of the ink / fountain solution mixture is on the dampening roller 5 equally distributed. In addition to the dampening solution supply device 12, the rollers 9 and 10 have a locking function compared to the paint on their dampening roller 5, which felt the return transport of printing ink into the Prevents dampening 4 and at the same time a stable Dampening solution dosage in the form of a very thin Guaranteed wet film.
