Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for printing a sheet front and for printing a sheet back.
- Printing presses are generally known (EP 051 2549), in which a double sheet pass is required for printing on the sheet front side and for subsequent printing of the sheet reverse side and the stack has to be turned over before the second sheet pass to print the sheet printed side.
- the high outlay for the second sheet pass and in particular for turning the sheet stack with an additional stack turning device is disadvantageous.
- Printing machines are also known (DD 54 703), in which the sheet to be printed is first printed on the front side of the sheet, turned in the printing press, printed on the sheet back side and then placed on a delivery sheet stack with the sheet back side up.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for printing on the front side of the sheet and subsequent printing on the back side of the sheet without great expenditure on machine technology and handling.
- FIGS. 1 and 3 contains a stack of feeder sheets 1, conveying elements 2, further conveying elements 3, a sheet-guiding cylinder 4 designed as a printing cylinder, which cooperates with two offset cylinders 5, each offset cylinder being assigned a printing form cylinder 6 with two inking / dampening rollers 7, additional conveying elements 9 and a delivery sheet stack 11.
- the sheet 12 to be printed is first transported from the feeder sheet stack 1 in the direction of the sheet guide cylinder 4, this direction is referred to as sheet travel direction 14.
- the transfer of the printed sheets from the sheet guide cylinder 4 to the subsequent additional conveying elements 9 takes place counter to the sheet travel direction 14, this direction is referred to below as the sheet transport direction 15.
- the delivery sheet stack 11 is arranged in the sheet travel direction 14 in front of the feeder sheet stack 1.
- the feeder sheet stack 1 and the delivery sheet stack 11 are arranged in the same stacking level 10.
- the sheet stack 1; 11 are each assigned to a stack transport trolley 16 with rollers 17 which can be moved on the stack plane 10.
- the printing press contains a stack of feeder sheets 1, conveyor elements 2 for Sheet separation, further conveying elements 3, a sheet guiding cylinder 4 designed as a printing cylinder, which cooperates with two offset cylinders 5, each printing cylinder being assigned a printing form cylinder 6 with two inking / dampening rollers 7, additional conveying elements 9 and a delivery sheet stack 11.
- the Sheet as in FIG. 1 is first conveyed in the sheet travel direction 14 and then in the sheet transport direction 15.
- the stacks are arranged on vertically movable stack support plates 18 fastened to chains 20.
- a vertically movable stack support plate is designed as a stack support and rotating plate 19 and is rotatable in its horizontal plane.
- the sheet conveyed from the feeder sheet stack 1 to the sheet guiding cylinder 4 is first printed on the sheet back side based on the machine diagrams described, based on the position of the sheet on the feeder sheet stack 1, and is placed on the delivery sheet stack 11 with the printed sheet back side up.
- This offers the possibility of bringing the delivery sheet stack 11 into the position of the feed sheet stack 1 by lowering or shifting or by rotating through 180 ° and shifting or lowering and turning through 180 °, and immediately the subsequent printing of the front of the sheet in a second sheet pass without stacking to start.
- Turning the stack offers the advantage that the contact edge relevant for high-quality printing always, i.e. when printing on the front of the sheet and when printing on the back of the sheet, is in the direction of the sheet in the front.
- Fig. 2 the handling of the feeder sheet stack 1 and the delivery sheet stack 11 when printing the sheet front and sheet back is shown schematically.
- the stack of feeder sheets 1 is moved into its starting position and the stack transport carriage 16 sheet stack 11 provided. Then (scheme below) the two stacks 1; 11 brought into their operating position.
- the printing process now begins, that is to say the sheets 12 to be printed are removed from the stack of feed sheets 1, printed on the sheet back side - indicated schematically by a dashed triangle - conveyed to the delivery sheet stack 11 and deposited there with the printed sheet back side upward - indicated schematically by a filled triangle .
- the empty stack transport carriage 16 of the feeder sheet stack 1 is extended, the delivery sheet stack 11 is lowered and rotated through 180 °. Then (top right) the delivery sheet stack 11 is moved into the starting position of the delivery sheet stack 1 and the empty stack transport carriage 16 of the delivery sheet stack 1 is moved into the starting position of the delivery sheet stack 11 and then brought into the respective operating position.
- the second phase is shown in FIG. 2 in the embodiment with a turntable 13 and a linear conveyor unit 8.
- the underside of the stack transport car 16 of the feeder sheet stack 1 and the delivery sheet stack 11 is assigned to the linear conveyor unit 8 and the turntable 13; or the underside of the stacking trolleys 16 is assigned to the linear conveyor unit 8 and the rollers 17 of the stacking trolleys 16 to the turntable 13.
- the printing process now begins again in the third phase, ie the sheets to be printed are removed from the delivery sheet stack 11 located in the position of the feeder sheet stack 1.
- printed on the now sheet-fed reverse side conveyed to the feeder sheet stack 1 located in the position of the delivery sheet stack 11, and deposited there with the now printed sheet-fed reverse side upward, schematically indicated by a triangle.
- This process is continued until the stack transport carriage of the delivery sheet stack 11 is empty and in its upper position and the feeder sheet stack 1 is full and in an intermediate position; then the stack transport trolley 16 of the delivery sheet stack 11 is lowered to the starting position mentioned at the beginning.
- both the empty stack transport carriage 16 of the delivery sheet stack 11 and the feeder sheet stack 1 are extended with the sheets printed on both sides.
- the contact sheet stack 11 is brought into the position of the feed sheet stack 1 by lowering the delivery sheet stack and rotating the same by 180 ° by means of the stack support and rotating plate.
