Abstract

The roller is for use in a rotary printing press, and has cups and ribs forming the pattern and to which liquid is supplied in metered quantities. Seen in the direction of rotation (12) of the roller (3), a regeneration unit (8) precedes the metering equipment (4), while following the regeneration unit, in turn are application (9) and discharge (10) units. The cups (5) in the roller can be regenerated to the full volume of the basic pattern, being then filled with liquid by the application unit. The discharge unit at least partly extracts the liquid from the cups. The regeneration unit can consist of an ultrasonic cleaning system or one operated by high-pressure water.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Rasterwalze innerhalb eines Auftragswerkes einer Rotationsdruckmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches.The invention relates to an anilox roller within an application unit of a rotary printing press according to the preamble of the main claim.

Eine Rasterwalze, auch Näpfchenwalze genannt, dieser Art ist aus der DE 39 38 449 C2 bekannt, welche auf dem Zylinder- oder Walzenkern eine poröse, volumenveränderbare Zwischenschicht aufweist. Auf dieser Zwischenschicht ist eine Schicht mit temperaturabhängigem Formgedächnis angeordnet. Diese Ausbildung dient der Veränderung der Dosiermenge von Farbe als verwendetes flüssiges Medium, indem in der Schicht unter thermischer Einwirkung die Form der Näpfchen verändert bzw. völlig beseitigt wird.An anilox roller, also called a cup roller, of this type is known from DE 39 38 449 C2 known, which on the cylinder or roller core a porous, volume-changeable Has intermediate layer. On this intermediate layer is a layer with a temperature-dependent Shape memory arranged. This training serves to change the dosing quantity of color as the liquid medium used, in the layer under thermal Action changes the shape of the wells or is completely eliminated.

Aus der DE 44 08 615 C2 ist weiterhin eine Näpfchenwalze in einem Auftragswerk bekannt, deren Grundkörper eine konzentrisch angeordnete Schicht aus einem piezoelektrischen Material trägt und auf der wiederum eine elektrisch leitfähige Oberflächenschicht konzentrisch angeordnet ist. Grundkörper und Oberflächenschicht sind schaltungstechnisch mit einer einstellbaren Spannungsquelle verbunden. Durch Zuschalten einer Spannung wird unter Ausnutzung der Elektrostriktion bzw. des inversen piezoelektrischen Effektes eine Kompression oder eine Dilatation des Näpfchenvolumes bewirkt.From DE 44 08 615 C2 a well roller in an application unit is also known, whose main body is a concentrically arranged layer made of a piezoelectric Material carries and on the in turn an electrically conductive surface layer is arranged concentrically. The basic body and surface layer are circuitry-related connected to an adjustable voltage source. By switching on a voltage is using the electrostriction or the inverse piezoelectric effect causes compression or dilation of the well volume.

Die aufgeführten Rasterwalzen besitzen in ihrem Aufnahmevolumen veränderbare Näpfchen.The listed anilox rollers have changeable cups in their receiving volume.

Aus der EP 0 190 390 B1 ist eine weitere Rasterwalze als Dosierwalze bekannt, die auf einem Stahlkern eine Rasterstruktur mit einer ersten Beschichtung (oleophiles/hydrophobes Material, z.B. Kupfer) und einer zweiten äußeren Beschichtung in Form einer mikroporösen Keramik besitzt. From EP 0 190 390 B1 a further anilox roller is known as a metering roller, which is based on a steel core a grid structure with a first coating (oleophilic / hydrophobic Material, e.g. Copper) and a second outer coating in the form of a microporous Owns ceramics.

Nachteilig bei dieser Ausführung ist, daß das Volumen der Näpfchen nicht mehr veränderbar ist. Das durch die Herstellung (z.B. Ätzen, Gravieren) einmal erzeugte Raster ist auf Form und Größe der Näpfchen festgelegt. Dies ist bei Verarbeitung von flüssigen Medien mit unterschiedlicher Viskosität oder bestimmten chemischen Zusammensetzungen von Nachteil. Eine Veränderung der Dosiermenge ist abhängig vom zuverarbeitenden flüssigen Medium nur durch einen Austausch der Rasterwalzen durch eine neue Rasterwalze mit anderer Struktur bzw. anderen Eigenschaften möglich. Ein Walzentausch ist jedoch aufwendig, da Stillstandzeiten entstehen.A disadvantage of this design is that the volume of the cells can no longer be changed is. The grid created once by the production (e.g. etching, engraving) is open The shape and size of the cells are determined. This is when processing liquid media with different viscosity or certain chemical compositions of Disadvantage. A change in the dosage depends on the liquid to be processed Medium only by replacing the anilox rollers with a new anilox roller other structure or other properties possible. However, changing the rollers is complex, because downtimes arise.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Rasterwalze mit Näpfchen (Vertiefungen) und Stegen (Erhöhungen) in einem Auftragswerk so auszubilden, daß die Menge des aufzunehmenden flüssigen Mediums beeinflußbar ist.The invention has for its object to provide an anilox roller with cups (depressions) and webs (increases) in a commissioned work so that the amount of the to be included liquid medium can be influenced.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die im Hauptanspruch aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst. Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.According to the invention the object is achieved by the features listed in the main claim solved. Further training results from the subclaims.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung ist die universelle Verarbeitung von flüssigen Medien mit unterschiedlicher Viskosität und insbesondere eine exakte Dosierung der Flüssigkeitsmenge möglich. Die Rasterwalze ist innerhalb eines Auftragswerkes in einer Rotationsdruckmaschine in Verbindung mit einem Dosiersystem, z.B. einer Kammerakel oder einer weiteren Walze (Zwei- Walzenwerk), einsetzbar. Sie gestattet die Verarbeitung von flüssigen Medien, wie beispielsweise Flexodruckfarbe, pigmenthaltiger Effektdruckfarbe und Dispersionslack, wobei insbesondere Medien auf Wasserbasis Verwendung finden. Die Näpfchen der Oberfläche der Rasterwalze sind mit einem Füllstoffverschließbar, überschüssiger Füllstoff ist abrakelbar und die Näpfchen sind vollständig oder teilweise in ihrem Aufnahmevolumen freilegbar. Diese Rasterwalze ist sowohl in Druckwerken als auch in Weiterverarbeitungseinheiten zur Druckveredelung, z.B. in Lackiereinheiten, einsetzbar. Mögliche, durch Walzenwechsel bedingte, Stillstandszeiten werden reduziert, da ein Austausch von Rasterwalzen mit größerer oder kleinerer Struktur bzw. anderen Eigenschaften hinfällig ist. With the solution according to the invention is the universal processing of liquid media with different viscosity and in particular an exact dosage of the amount of liquid possible. The anilox roller is within a job in a rotary printing press in connection with a dosing system, e.g. a chamber oracle additional roller (two-roller mill), can be used. It allows the processing of liquid Media such as flexographic printing ink, pigment-containing effect printing ink and Dispersion varnish, with water-based media in particular being used. The Cups on the surface of the anilox roller can be closed with a filler, excess Filler can be scraped off and the cells are completely or partially in their Exposure volume exposed. This anilox roller is used both in printing units and in Processing units for print finishing, e.g. Can be used in painting units. Possible downtimes due to roller changes are reduced because of an exchange of anilox rollers with a larger or smaller structure or other properties is obsolete.

Die Rakelblätter werden gebildet durch ein negativ angestelltes Arbeitsrakelblatt und ein positiv angestelltes Schließrakelblatt, bezogen auf eine Drehrichtung 12. Dabei dient das Schließrakelblatt zur Abdichtung der Kammer des Gehäuses und des Arbeitsrakelblatt dosiert das aufzutragende flüssige Medium, z.B. Dispersionslack. Als Dosiersystem 4 besitzt die Kammerrakel eine Einrichtung zum zuführen und abfließen des flüssigen Mediums, welche hier nicht weiter beschrieben werden sollen. According to FIG. 1, the first application unit consists of a sheet-guiding cylinder 1, the a forme cylinder 2 is assigned. The forme cylinder 2 carries a flexible high-pressure plate and is preferably used to process dispersion varnish or flexographic printing ink watery base. An anilox roller 3 is assigned to the forme cylinder 2, which preferably consists of a ceramic. The anilox roller 3 has a variety in a known manner of cells 5 and webs 6 on which represent a basic grid 7. Anilox roller 3 is in contact with a metering system 4, which is a chambered doctor blade according to FIG. The chambered doctor blade can be swiveled (turned on and off) to the anilox roller in a self-aligning bearing 3 stored and in a known manner has a housing and doctor blades that are on the circumference support the anilox roller 3 on its webs 6. The doctor blades are formed by a negative working doctor blade and a positive closing doctor blade, based on a direction of rotation 12. The closing doctor blade is used to seal the Chamber of the housing and the working doctor blade meter the liquid medium to be applied, e.g. Dispersion varnish. The chambered doctor blade has a device as the metering system 4 to feed and drain the liquid medium, which are not described here should be.

Die Rasterwalze 3 weist in ihrem Grundraster 7 vorzugsweise mit Lasertechnik eingearbeitete Näpfchen 5 auf, deren Aufnahmevolumen durch eine die maximal übertragbare Menge definierte Größe festgelegt ist. In Drehrichtung 12 der Rasterwalze 3 sind zwischen Formzylinder 2 und Dosiersystem 4 eine Regenerationseinrichtung 8, eine Antragseinrichtung 9 sowie eine Abtragseinrichtung 10 einander nachgeordnet am Umfang der Rasterwalze 3 den Näpfchen und Stegen 5, 6 zugeordnet. Die Regenerationseinrichtung 8 ist vorzugsweise als Ultraschallreinigungsanlage oder Wasserhochdruckreiniger ausgebildet und dient der Regeneration der Näpfchen 5 auf ihr maximales Aufnahmevolumen gemäß dem festgelegten Grundraster 7. Die Antragseinrichtung 9 weist einen über die Breite der Rasterwalze 3 verlaufenden Spalt auf. Vor und nach dem Spalt sind Abstreicher formschlüssig mit den Stegen 6 der Rasterwalze 3 in Kontakt. Die Antragseinrichtung 9 dient dem Befüllen der jeweiligen Näpfchen 5 mit einer verflüssigbaren Substanz 11. Diese Substanz 11 ist vorzugsweise ein Thermoplast oder ein Wachs bzw. beinhaltet verflüssigbare Fotopolymere. Die Abstreifeinrichtung 10 dient dem Freilegen der mit der verflüssigbaren Substanz versiegelten Näpfchen 5, was unter thermische Energieeinwirkung, insbesondere mittels Laser, erfolgt.The anilox roller 3 has in its basic grid 7 preferably incorporated with laser technology Cups 5, the receiving volume of which by the maximum transferable amount defined size is set. In the direction of rotation 12 of the anilox roller 3 are between forme cylinders 2 and dosing system 4 a regeneration device 8, an application device 9 and a removal device 10 arranged one after the other on the circumference of the anilox roller 3 Wells and webs 5, 6 assigned. The regeneration device 8 is preferably as Ultrasonic cleaning system or high pressure water cleaner trained and serves the regeneration the cup 5 to its maximum volume according to the specified Basic grid 7. The application device 9 has a one that runs across the width of the screen roller 3 Gap. Before and after the gap, scrapers are form-fitting with the webs 6 of the anilox roller 3 in contact. The application device 9 is used to fill the respective Cup 5 with a liquefiable substance 11. This substance 11 is preferably a Thermoplastic or a wax or contains liquefiable photopolymers. The scraper 10 serves to expose the wells sealed with the liquefiable substance 5, which takes place under the influence of thermal energy, in particular by means of a laser.

Gemäß Figur 2 ist dem Formzylinder wiederum die Rasterwalze 3 zugeordnet, welche mit einer weiteren Walze als Dosiersystem 4 ein Zweiwalzenwerk bildet. Das Zweiwalzenwerk erhält von oben in einem Walzenspalt 14 das zu dosierenden Medium zugeführt und arbeitet nach dem Quetschwalzenprinzip. Die Regenerationseinrichtung 8, Antragseinrichtung 9 und Abtrageintrichtung 10 sind analog zu Figur 1 angeordnet.According to Figure 2, the anilox roller 3 is assigned to the forme cylinder, which with another roll as a metering system 4 forms a two-roll mill. The two-roll mill receives the medium to be metered from above in a nip 14 and works according to the squeeze roller principle. The regeneration device 8, application device 9 and Removal device 10 are arranged analogously to Figure 1.

Gemäß Figur 3 ist wiederum ein Zweiwalzenwerk dargestellt. Jedoch ist als Dosiersystem 4 eine Schöpfwalze der Rasterwalze 3 zugeordnet, die in einem Flüssigkeitsbehälter eintaucht. Der Flüssigkeitsbehälter dient der Aufnahme von Dispersionslack. Die Anordnung der Regenerationseinrichtung 8, Antragseinrichtung 9 und Abtragseinrichtung 10 ist wiederum analog zu Figur 1.According to Figure 3, a two-roll mill is again shown. However, the dosing system is 4 a scoop roller assigned to the anilox roller 3, which dips into a liquid container. The liquid container is used to hold dispersion varnish. The arrangement of the regeneration device 8, application device 9 and removal device 10 is again analogous to FIG. 1.

In Figur 4 ist die Struktur der Rasterwalze 3 dargestellt. Das Grundraster 7 ist durch die Stege 6 und die Näpfchen 5 (ohne befüllter Substanz 11) festgelegt. Die eingebrachte Substanz 11 füllt ein Teilvolumen der Näpfchen 5 aus und die verbleibende Differenz zur Höhe der Stege 6 stellt das Schöpfvolumen (Aufnahmevolumen) der Rasterwalze 3 dar.The structure of the anilox roller 3 is shown in FIG. The basic grid 7 is due to the Web 6 and the well 5 (without filled substance 11) fixed. The substance brought in 11 fills a partial volume of the cells 5 and the remaining difference in height the webs 6 represent the scooping volume (receiving volume) of the anilox roller 3.

Die Wirkungsweise ist wie folgt:
Zum Dosieren des zu verarbeitenden flüssigen Mediums erhält das jeweilige Dosiersystem 4 das zu verarbeitende Medium zugeführt. Bei Ausführung gemäß Figur 1 erfolgt dies über Leitungen in des Gehäuse des Kammerrakels. Bei Ausführungen gemäß Figur 2 wird das Medium in den Walzenspalt 14 zugeführt und bei Ausführungen gemäß Figur 3 wird das Medium aus einem Behälter geschöpft und in den Walzenspalt 14 gefördert. Das einmal festgelegte Grundraster 7 der Rasterwalze 3 wird nach Kontakt mit dem Formzylinder 2 von dem in dem Näpfchen 5 möglicherweise noch anhaftenden Bestandteilen des flüssigen Mediums in einer Regenerationseinrichtung 8 gereinigt, so daß die Rasterwalze 3 auf ihr Grundraster 7 zurückgeführt wird. Während der Rotation der Rasterwalze 3 werden an der nachgeordneten Antragseinrichtung 9 die Näpfchen 5 befüllt und gleichzeitig werden die Stege 6 vorzugsweise durch ein Rakel abgestriffen. In Drehrichtung der Rasterwalze 3 folgt danach die Abtragseinrichtung 10, welche die Tiefe der Näpfchen 5 auf einen vorgestimmten Wert freilegt. Dazu wird ein Teil der befüllten Substanz 11 aus den Näpfchen 5 wieder entfernt, so daß die Volumina der Näpfchen 5 in ihrem Aufnamevermögen begrenzt sind. Erreicht die Rasterwalze 3 das Dosiersystem 4, so wird in den freigelegten Bereichen der Näpfchen 5 das zuverarbeitende Medium aufgenommen und als Tropfen 13 an den Formzylinder 2 übertragen.
Das zweite Auftragswerk ist in Bogenlaufrichtung dem ersten Auftragswerk nachgeordnet und ist z.B. gem. Fig. 2 ausgebildet. Der Formzylinder 2 trägt dabei ein Gummituch. In den Walzenspalt 14 wird ein wäßriger Dispersionslack zugeführt. Das zweite Auftragswerk dient der vollflächigen Lackierung des zu verarbeitenden Bedruckstoffes. Alternativ kann als zweites Auftragswerk auch die Ausführung gem. Fig. 3 verwendet werden.
The mode of action is as follows:
For dosing the liquid medium to be processed, the respective dosing system 4 receives the medium to be processed. In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, this takes place via lines in the housing of the chambered doctor blade. In embodiments according to FIG. 2, the medium is fed into the nip 14 and in embodiments according to FIG. 3 the medium is scooped out of a container and conveyed into the nip 14. Once defined, the basic grid 7 of the anilox roller 3 is cleaned in a regeneration device 8 after contact with the forme cylinder 2 from the components of the liquid medium that may still be adhering to the well 5, so that the anilox roller 3 is returned to its basic grid 7. During the rotation of the anilox roller 3, the cups 5 are filled on the downstream application device 9 and at the same time the webs 6 are preferably wiped off by a doctor blade. The removal device 10 then follows in the direction of rotation of the anilox roller 3 and exposes the depth of the cells 5 to a predetermined value. For this purpose, part of the filled substance 11 is removed from the wells 5 again, so that the volumes of the wells 5 are limited in their absorption capacity. When the anilox roller 3 reaches the metering system 4, the medium to be processed is taken up in the exposed areas of the cells 5 and transferred to the forme cylinder 2 as drops 13.
The second application is subordinate to the first application in the direction of sheet travel and is, for example, acc. Fig. 2 formed. The forme cylinder 2 carries a rubber blanket.
