Definitions

  • the invention relates to a coating unit for a printing press according to the Preamble of claims 1, 6, 7 and a high pressure plate according to the Preamble of claim 8.
  • a coating unit for a printing press is known from EP 0 620 115 B1 known.
  • the in the conveying direction of the substrate upstream coating unit is a flexible printing unit with a flexible High-pressure plate-bearing form cylinder, which with a the substrate leading printing cylinder is in contact, a rastered application roller, the in turn is in contact with the forme cylinder and an adjustable one Chamber doctor trained.
  • They preferably form as a ceramic roller trained, rastered applicator roller with the chambered doctor blade the dosing system for inking (coating) the substrate.
  • a photopolymerizable printing plate which is based on a dimensionally stable carrier layer is a relief-forming relief carries another layer as a flexographic printing form.
  • Such a printing plate as a flexible high-pressure plate on a Forme cylinder of a coating unit fixed then impairments occur in the Coating quality of the substrates.
  • the forme cylinder takes the pressure / the The coating is applied directly to the substrate and the impression cylinder as Impression cylinder has a hard surface, are only the Printing material and the flexible high-pressure plate as elastic materials in the Pressure zone (formed from impression cylinder and form cylinder), whose elasticity for the desired quality is no longer sufficient. Also in the contact point of rastered application roller and form cylinder the elasticity for the desired Printing quality is no longer available.
  • the elasticity in the pressure gap of forme cylinder / impression cylinder or in the contact point of it is known to be dimensionally stable Carrier layer, to arrange an elastic elevator directly on the forme cylinder, e.g. a rubber blanket or paper layers under it.
  • This arrangement causes one first improvement in the quality of the coating, the elasticity of the printing plate however, it is distributed over the carrier layer in a sheet-like manner on the jacket of the forme cylinder, so that often the elasticity in the above Pressure gap or in the above Contact point is still in need of improvement.
  • winding is one elastic elevator and attaching the flexible high pressure plate consuming.
  • the invention has for its object a coating unit and a to create flexible high-pressure plate of the type described above, which the avoids disadvantages mentioned, which in particular a higher elasticity in through the forme cylinder and the impression cylinder formed in the pressure gap rastered application roller and forme cylinder formed contact point allowed and the coating quality of the printing material noticeably improved.
  • a coating unit with a flexible high pressure plate Forme cylinder and an associated printing cylinder is the invention
  • this printing process there are no intermediate supports (like in indirect printing).
  • the blanket cylinder usually acts as Intermediate carrier with damping function.
  • the desired, higher elasticity in the pressure gap or the contact point is achieved in direct high pressure by a special layer structure of the flexible high pressure plate or a special property of the flexible high pressure plate.
  • the damping behavior in the coating unit is increased, which has an effect in particular on a low-vibration rotational movement of the screened application roller.
  • the flexible high-pressure plate with the special layer structure or the special properties results in a noticeably reduced roll run of the screened application roll, in particular at the leading or trailing edges of the upstanding elements of the printing surface.
  • the higher elasticity in the printing nip and especially in the contact point between the screened application roller and the forme cylinder noticeably improves the coating quality of the substrates. A noticeable improvement in the coating quality can be seen in particular in the case of substrates with a qualitatively less favorable substrate surface.
  • a printing press is with several Offset printing units 1 formed in a row design, the sheet-shaped substrates a first coating unit 2 and a second Coating unit 3 are arranged downstream of the printing units 1. Between Coating units 2, 3 are for drying the substrates to be processed a dryer system 4 is arranged. The second coating unit 3 is a Subordinate boom 5, which among other things by rotating conveyor systems 7 is formed, which place the printing material on a delivery stack 6.
  • a printing unit 1 consists essentially of a plate cylinder 8, a Blanket cylinder 9 and a printing cylinder 11 as sheet guiding cylinder. An inking unit is assigned to the plate cylinder 8; Dampening unit adjacent to the plate cylinder 8, but not further here to be received. Between the printing units 1, the Coating units 2, 3 and the dryer system 4 are each one Transfer cylinder 10 arranged for the transport of the printing materials.
  • the first coating unit 2 is a coating unit, e.g. for processing Dispersion varnish on an aqueous basis, formed and consists of the Printing cylinder 11, one with the printing cylinder 11 forming the printing nip Forme cylinder 12, which carries a flexible high pressure plate 17, and a first Dosing system 13.
  • the dosing system 13 is connected to the forme cylinder 12 in Contactable, rastered application roller 16 and one with this application roller 16 chamber doctor blade 15 in operative connection.
  • the second coating unit 3 is also a coating unit, e.g. For processing of another water-based dispersion varnish, formed and consists of the printing cylinder 11, a forme cylinder forming the printing nip with the latter 12, which carries a rubber blanket, and a second metering system 14.
  • Das Dosing system 14 is by an applicator roller and a metering roller Two-roll mill trained.
  • the metering systems 13, 14 are each with a separately controllable circulation system can be coupled for the circulation of coating liquids.
  • the forme cylinder 12 carries the flexible one in the coating unit 2 High pressure plate 17, which is in contact with the screened application roller 16 and is arranged on the outer surface of the forme cylinder 12.
  • This high pressure plate 17 preferably has an at least three-layer structure 18, 19, 20.
  • the first layer assigned to the lateral surface of the forme cylinder 12 is one Dimensionally stable, flexible carrier material 18.
  • On the carrier material 18 (as first layer) is a second, compressible layer 19 with high Damping property arranged adherent, and on this compressible Layer 19 is a third relief-forming layer 20 with printing surfaces 21 (as well as non-printing depressions) arranged adherent.
  • the carrier material 18 of the first layer is a metallic material or the carrier material 18 contains at least one metallic material.
  • the metallic material is preferably an aluminum material.
  • the compressible layer 19 (second layer) is an elastomer or a soft elastic rubber material.
  • the relief-forming layer 20 is photopolymerizable and has raised areas bearing the printing surface 21 (for example characters, image elements) and depressions not involved in the printing / coating process.
  • Preferably 12 clamping rails are arranged on the circumference of the forme cylinder for releasable fastening of the flexible high-pressure plate 17 with the three-layer structure 18, 19, 20.
  • the flexible high-pressure plate 17 is designed such that only the carrier layer 18 is detachably fastened in tensioning rails, the carrier layer 18 in turn carrying the compressible layer 19 and the relief-forming layer 20.
  • the layers 19, 20 are not covered by the tensioning rails in this embodiment.
  • the clamping rails can be dimensioned in their receiving area in accordance with the thickness of the high-pressure plate 17.
  • the flexible high-pressure plate is not limited to the at least three-layer structure 18, 19, 20. Rather, the functions of the layer structure 18-20 can also be achieved with a modified layer structure.
  • a two-layer structure can be realized in that the relief-forming layer 20 is bonded directly to the carrier material 18, the relief-forming layer 20 being compressible between the essentially non-compressible printing surfaces 21 and the carrier material 18.
  • the relief-forming layer 20 itself functions as a carrier material and as a compressible layer and is therefore compressible within the layer 20, the printing surfaces 21 being essentially non-compressible.
  • a flexible, relief-forming High pressure plate 17 in addition to the printing surfaces 21 a Vibration excitation of an oscillation system, e.g. a screened application roller, has minimizing property and used in the coating unit becomes.
