Definitions

  • the invention relates to a web-fed rotary printing press according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a number of printing units are set up side by side (DE 39 00 660 C2).
  • the printing units each have an operator-side and a drive-side wall in which the cylinders of the printing units are mounted.
  • the printing units have a large distance from each other. The space requirement of the printing press is therefore large.
  • Their overall length is increased by adding and subordinate units, such as unwinders, dryers, cooling devices and folders.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a web-fed rotary printing press, which is characterized by a small space requirement, yet with good maintenance options.
  • this object is achieved in a generic printing press with the features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
  • the printing machine saves the operating space between the printing units and is therefore short. Thanks to the lack of a side wall on the operator side, it is easy to operate from the side. So z. B.
  • the web can be quickly drawn in in various ways to create different printed products.
  • the compact, inexpensive, variable machine construction that is possible thanks to the modular design is therefore accompanied by their economical operation thanks to short changeover times.
  • the offset rotary printing press shown in FIG. 1 contains four printing units 1 to 4.
  • Each printing unit 1 to 4 contains two printing units which work together on the rubber-rubber principle.
  • Each printing unit 1 to 4 essentially contains two forme cylinders 5, 6, two transfer cylinders 7, 8, the inking units 9, 10, the dampening units 11, 12 and the blanket washing devices 13, 14.
  • the printing units 1 to 4 are strung together without a space or without a work space. Under each printing unit 1 to 4 there is a winder 15 to 18, which in each case receives a winding roller 107 in a floating manner (FIG. 5). The recording could also take place between two levers which are pivoted away before a new winding roll 107 is inserted into a winder 15 to 18. Depending on the control of their motor 123, the winders 15 to 18 can be used as unwinders or winders.
  • the printing press is further provided with a roll storage device 19 described below and a folder 31.
  • the winder 15 is used as an unwinder.
  • the web to be printed which is drawn off from its winding roll 107 is guided via a web edge control 20 and guide rollers 21 and 22 through the printing units 1 to 4 and is thus printed in four colors on both sides.
  • the web is dried after each print by dryers 23 and 24, which are in each printing unit 1 to 4.
  • the printed one Web (the possible web courses are shown in dashed lines) is deflected on the guide rollers 25 to 27 and fed via a web edge control 28 to the winder 18, which is thus used as a winder. It can be continued so that the winder 16 and 17 serve as a rewinder and thus as a memory for printed webs.
  • the storage capacity of this rewinder is adapted to that of the unwinder.
  • the printed web can be fed to the folder 31 via guide rollers 29 and 30 together with the stored webs from the winders 16 to 18, in which finished products are formed on multiple sides.
  • the folder 31 has, in a known manner and therefore not shown, a trimming device, pairs of drawing rollers, a cross cutting device, a cross perforation, a stitching cylinder, a collecting cylinder, a folding jaw cylinder and a cross cutter for the folded products.
  • the finished products can be laid out in a stacking device 41.
  • an additional longitudinal folding device an additional, 90 ° offset fold can be attached to the original folding direction, e.g. B. for A5 products.
  • envelopes can also be fed from the unwinder 18.
  • the webs can also be fed to a plano delivery unit, which are then processed into printed sheets that are only cross-cut.
  • the printed web can of course also be guided immediately over the guide rollers 29 and 30 without being stored in the winders 16 to 18 and thus processed in the folder 31 into a thin finished product.
  • Fig. 1 further shows that all winder 15 to 18 can also be used as an unwinder for a four-lane monochrome printing.
  • the winders 15 to 18 are then equipped with winding rolls to be printed.
  • Each winder 15 to 18 is assigned to a printing unit 1 to 4.
  • the webs printed in one color on both sides are guided around the guide rollers 43, 44, 49 after the first printing unit, 45, 46, 50 after the second printing unit, 47, 48, 51 after the third printing unit and finally 29, 30 after the fourth printing unit and processed together in the folder 31.
  • Fig. 2 shows a web-fed rotary printing machine for direct gravure printing.
  • the printing press contains four strung printing units 52 to 55, winder 15 to 18, a roll store 19 and a further processing device, here in the form of a plano delivery 124, with a stacking device 41 connected downstream.
  • Each printing unit includes two gravure printing units, each with a forme cylinder 56, 57, an impression roller 58, 59 and a chamber doctor blade 60, 61. Dryers 62, 63 after each printing unit take over the web drying.
  • the web is passed from the winder 15 via the guide rollers 64, 65 first through the lower printing units of the printing units 52 to 55 for four-color face printing, then over the guide rollers 66 and 67 through the upper printing units for the four-color reverse printing and then over the guide rollers 68, 69, 70 to the plano-delivery 124.
  • the web printed in four colors on both sides can also be guided to the winder 18 and wound up via the guide rollers 70, 71, 72.
  • the production possibilities of the printing press according to FIG. 1 are thus also given with this system.
  • a four-lane production with double-sided single-color printing is also possible.
  • the web in the printing unit 52 is fed to the reverse pressure after the straight printing via the dryer 62 around the guide rollers 73 and 74 and is guided through the dryer via the guide roller 68.
  • the web is then fed to the plano boom 124 along with the other webs via the roller 69.
  • These other webs are printed and guided in printing units 53 to 55 in the same way as in printing unit 52.
  • FIG. 3 shows a web-fed rotary printing machine similar to that of FIG. 1, but with the difference that this printing machine is designed for indirect gravure printing in connection with CT-Press technology (Computer-to-Press technology).
  • the printing units 75 to 78 have the same arrangement of the forme cylinders 79, 80 and the transfer cylinders 81, 82 as the offset printing units of FIG. 1.
  • the printing units are, however, equipped with the CT press gravure UV technology, as in patent application DE 196 24 441.2. This technology enables particularly simple operation and short set-up times.
  • the printing press is connected directly to a data network via an intermediate pre-stage.
  • each printing unit has a filling chamber doctor blade 83, 84, which serves to fill the intaglio cells with curable polymer.
  • the polymer entered is then cured by the UV dryer 85, 86.
  • the forme cylinders 79, 80 are then imaged directly by means of the laser heads 87, 88 via the preliminary stage.
  • the cylinder surface can be printed using the chambered doctor blades 89, 90 using the indirect gravure printing process.
  • Advantageous doctor blades for this are presented in patent application DE 196 24 440.4.
  • the web guiding, storage and processing options correspond to those of the printing press according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows a web-fed rotary printing press for direct gravure printing.
  • the construction of the printing press is similar to that of FIG. 2 and contains four printing units 91 to 94, each with two gravure printing units with forme cylinders 95, 96 and preseurs 97, 98.
  • the printing units are equipped with elements for CT-Press-Gravure-UV-Technology equipped with special advantages for short set-up times and simple operation.
  • Filling chamber doctor blades 99, 100, UV dryer 101, 102 and laser heads 103, 104 for printing form production are therefore located in the printing units 91 to 94. Once they have been produced, they can be printed using chambered doctor blades 105, 106.
  • the web guiding and production options correspond to those of the printing press according to FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 5 shows a cross section through the machine base in the area of the printing units (section V-V according to FIG. 1).
  • This machine base is the same for all the printing machines described above.
  • the printing unit 1 is attached to the winder 15.
  • the characteristic feature is the floating mounting of the motor spindles 109 to 112, which are supported in a side wall 113 and an auxiliary wall 114. These motor spindles 109 to 112 are described in detail in the patent application PB 3963.
  • the form spindles 5, 6 and the transfer cylinders 7, 8 are placed on the motor spindles 109 to 112.
  • the machines can be operated by one man.
  • the compact design of the printing machine makes it possible to set it up even in various confined spaces.
  • printing units need only contain one printing unit, for example the printing unit 52 from FIG. 2 only the printing unit consisting of the forme cylinder 56 and the preseur 58.
  • the printing unit 1 from FIG. 1 can also contain only a single offset printing unit, in which case instead of the upper printing unit there is only one impression cylinder which works together with the transfer cylinder 7.
  • Other printing methods e.g. B. the printing with ferroelectric ceramics can be applied.
  • the number of printing units can also deviate from the number selected in the exemplary embodiments four. For example, in the printing machine according to FIG.
  • the printing units 93 and 94 could be omitted, the printing units 91 and 92 each contain only one gravure printing unit and only two winders 15, 16 are present, one winder 15 working as the unwinder and one winder 16 as the winder.
  • a web can then be printed with single-color or two-color face printing and is further processed in the folder 31 or plano delivery 124 or wound up in the winder 16.
  • the winding roll is then converted into the winder 15 and its web is printed with a two-color backprint during a further pass through the printing units 91, 92, or the existing two-color face printing is supplemented with a four-color one.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 show a roll storage device 19 with which the printing machines described are advantageously supplemented. It is connected to a conveyor system, not shown, with the winders 15 to 19, this conveyor system also being used to load the winders 15 to 18, i.e. the transport of the winding roll 107 '(FIG. 5) into the winder 15 (position 107) and vice versa.
  • the conveyor system also serves to remove the winding rolls 117 from the roll store 19 or to load winding rolls 117 'into the roll store 19. The latter can therefore also store printed winding rolls 117.
  • the roller store 19 contains a plurality of stores 125 to 127 arranged one above the other. As a result, the space can be used both in height and in depth, so that the stores can be optically adapted to the printing press.
  • Each store 125, 126, 127 has two horizontally guided, revolving chains 120, 121 which are arranged next to one another and on which shells 118, 119 are fastened for the respective accommodation of a winding roll 117.
  • the upper strands of the chains 120, 121 are each supported by a rail 128, 129.
