  • the output signals of the existing rotary pulse generators are evaluated, whereby the additional effort for the diagnostic system according to the invention is low.
  • the state of wear of the entire printing unit ie also components that are not provided with a rotary pulse generator, can be inferred, since neighboring components also influence a torsional vibration behavior of the component provided with the rotary pulse generator.
  • processing the output signal of the rotary pulse generator in frequency spectra and assigning typical frequencies to certain components, it can be concluded that the component has wear or damage.
  • the diagnostic system according to the invention is in the drawing shown and is described in more detail below.

  • the dampening units 8 are for example, designed as spray dampers and consist essentially of three Dampening solution transfer rollers 13, 14, 16 and one with these cooperating spray device 17th
  • the rubber and plate cylinders 4, 6 of a printing unit 2 are connected to one another, for example, via gear transmissions, not shown.
  • Each printing unit 2 is driven by its own drive motor.
  • This drive motor is e.g. B. flanged directly to the respective rubber cylinder 4 or drives it, for example, by means of an intermediate pinion.
  • This rubber cylinder 4 is equipped with a position encoder designed as an angular position encoder, e.g. B. a rotary encoder 18, 19, 21, 22 (z. B. incremental encoder or resolver) provided.
  • the printing units 2 can be connected synchronously by means of a standing shaft. It is also possible to provide each rubber and plate cylinder 4, 6 with its own motor.

  • an evaluation device 23 essentially consists of four measuring cards 24, 26, 27, 28 assigned to the rotary pulse generators 18, 19, 21, 22, a time base 31, a control unit 32, a data memory 33 and a digital I / A assigned to a computer 34.
  • O card 36 The four measuring cards 24, 26, 27, 28, each connected to a rotary pulse generator 18, 19, 21, 22, are synchronized by the time base 31.
  • this control unit 32 is linked to the time base 31, the data memory 33 and the digital I / O card 36.
  • a reference psychronization for a start pulse is located on the control unit 32 in order to start all measuring cards 24, 26, 27, 28 simultaneously.
  • the control unit 32 controls a measurement period, a number of revolutions, the time base 31 and outputs data to the I / O card 36.
  • the data memory 33 is also connected to each measuring card 24, 26, 27, 28.
  • the digital I / O card 36 connects this evaluation device 23 to the computer 34. Settings of the control unit 32 and data transfer are carried out via this I / O card 36.
  • the rotary pulse generators 18, 19, 21, 22 each generate three signals, for example by means of a graduated disk provided with optical markings, which is scanned by opto-electrical converters.
  • the first signal provides a reference pulse, the other two signals offset by 90 ° to each other z. B. 4096, meandering pulses per revolution.
  • the reference pulse and the two signals are fed to the evaluation device 23, which records all signals synchronously in time.
  • a reference signal is also fed to the evaluation device 23.
  • This reference signal consists of a temporally constant pulse sequence, the constant frequency of which is substantially higher than a frequency of the signals of the rotary pulse generators 18, 19, 21, 22.
  • This high-frequency reference signal is generated by means of an oscillator, e.g. B. a quartz crystal.
  • Signals can optionally be compared with one another in the downstream computer 34.
  • the signals from rotary pulse generators 18, 19, 21, 22 of two rubber cylinders 4 can be compared with one another during one or more cylinder revolutions.
  • This comparison signal generated in this way of two rubber cylinders 4 is a measure of the relative rotation angle deviation (relative movement) of these rubber cylinders 4 to one another and thus corresponds to a deviation of the register of the web 1. If the signals of the rotary pulse generators 18, 19, 21, 22 with the reference signal of the oscillator in Set relationship, these comparison signals thus determined represent a measure of the absolute rotation angle deviation or for the absolute deviation of the circumferential speed of the rubber cylinder 4.
  • these deviations in uniformity of the cylinders 4, 6 can be combined into groups which, although they are similar to a certain pattern, do not have to be absolutely identical.
  • This comparison signal of the uniformity of the cylinders 4, 6 is fed to the computer 34 and compared there with stored, machine-specific, fixed reference signals for certain production conditions (e.g. speed, number of printing units, web material).
  • machine-typical reference signals were, for example, previously stored for various production conditions on a perfectly functioning rotary printing press in a wear-free and damage-free state or were determined on the basis of theoretical considerations and thus determined.
  • both the comparison signal of the uniformity of the cylinders 4, 6 and the pattern signals can be processed.
  • the signals are broken down into frequency spectra with the associated amplitudes. It has proven to be advantageous not to relate these frequency spectra to time, but to a cylinder revolution, since most of the movements in a rotary printing press occur periodically to one cylinder revolution.
  • the magnitudes of the amplitudes of the torsional vibration related to the cylinder revolution are then determined and compared. It is possible to break down each signal into its frequency spectra by means of an FFT or just to divide the deviation from the pattern signal into its frequency spectrum and then evaluate it.
  • the comparison of the measurement signals with the sample signals can be carried out continuously or at certain time intervals.
  • the cause can be deduced on the basis of their frequency.
  • Damage to components e.g. B. gears or cylinder bearings can be recognized, for example, using this frequency analysis.
  • wear on the teeth of a gearwheel can be seen in a frequency spectrum that corresponds to a multiple of the cylinder rotation corresponding to the number of teeth. It is also possible to detect progressive wear on cylinder bearings and thus to determine maintenance intervals. The deviation of the actual angular position of a cylinder or the deviation of the relative angular position of two cylinders from one another from the associated machine-typical reference signal is used as a measure of wear or damage to components.
  • This state of wear of certain components is continuously monitored and communicated to an operator, for example on a screen of a control center.
  • the operator must then, for example, upon reaching a first limit value previously set, for example by the machine manufacturer, acknowledge the message about the state of wear and release the machine manually.
  • a second limit value is reached, for example, the machine or at least the relevant unit is stopped.
  • the Regulation of the motors of the printing units 2 required Rotary encoder 18, 19, 21, 22 used to the Generate measurement signals.
  • other people's cylinders Units such as reel changers, feeders or Folders 18, 19, 21, 22 assigned to the folder used for evaluation and hereby conclusions on the state of wear certain, periodically moving components of these units are pulled. So can, for example, a profile of a cutting force cylinders involved in a cutting operation, e.g. B. of a cutting cylinder can be determined in the folder and from that to the state of wear of, for example Cutting bars or cutting blades are closed.
  • Angular pulse generators 18, 19, 21, 22 can also be more Rotary encoder on periodically moving, z. B. rotating components, e.g. B. on all cylinders 4, 6, be provided.
  • the measurement signals or the evaluation of the measurement signals can get saved.
  • This stored data can be saved at Need for remote diagnosis, for example via a modem or can be accessed via ISDN procedures.
