Definitions

  • the invention relates to a low-pressure process and Rotat ionst i ef Druckmaschi ne according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • EP 05 98 240 B1 describes one
  • the CH-PS 202 875 shows a Rotat i onst i ef printing machine in which a web is printed alternately in face and back printing.
  • the disadvantage here is that there are web paths of different lengths between the individual printing units.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a Rotat i onst i efdruc kmaschi ne.
  • the advantages that can be achieved with the invention are, in particular, that selectable lengths of the dryer can be used for a given overall height of the machine.
  • the path between two consecutive prints on one side of the Compared to machines in which the front printing is carried out completely and then the back printing is twice as long compared to machines. This increases the quality of the inks printed on one another or reduces the length of the dryer arranged between two printing units.
  • a web 02 in face and reverse printing has at least four, for example eight printing units 03; 04; 06; 07; 08; 09; 11; 12 on.
  • Four of these printing units 03; 04; 06; 07 or 08; 09; 11; 12 are arranged vertically one above the other in a so-called tower construction.
  • the horizontally opposite printing units 03; 08 or 04; 09 and 06; 11 and 07; 12 arranged in mirror image to each other.
  • the four left printing units 03; 04; 06; 07 form, for example, a printing tower 13 for straight printing, the four right printing units 08; 09; 11; 12 a printing tower 14 for back printing.
  • a distance a between the printing tower 13 for straight printing and the printing tower 14 for reverse printing is approximately 6 in the present exemplary embodiment.
  • Each printing unit 03; 04; 06; 07; 08; 09; 11; 12 has an impression roller 16 and an exchangeable forme cylinder 17, which is provided with an intaglio printing form, and an ink application device 18.
  • the printing tower 13; 14 for face printing and for back printing an elevator 19 designed as a "paternoster" for transporting the forme cylinders 17.
  • a dryer 21; 22 arranged between the printing units 03; 08 or 04; 09 and 06; 11 and 07; 12 .
  • the dryer 21; 22 constructed identically with the same web running direction.
  • a first section 26 is arranged so that it slopes downwards from right to left.
  • a subsequent second section 27 is arranged to run horizontally.
  • Each dryer 21; 22 faces both sides 28; 29 blowing nozzles 31 assigned to web 02.
  • IR drying or microwave drying with an inert gas lock can be arranged.
  • the dryer 21; 22 is in each case the web 02 deflecting guide roller 32; 33; 34 provided.
  • the web 02 to be printed is fed from above to the first printing unit 03 of the printing tower 13 for straight printing by a non-indicated roller change lever via guide rollers 36.
  • a face printing side 28 of the web 02 is printed with a first color between impression roller 16 and forme cylinder 17.
  • the web 02 emerging from the printing unit 03 below is fed to the first section 23 of the first dryer 21 via a guide roller 32 which interacts with the unprinted back printing side 29 of the web 02.
  • a guide roller 33 which interacts with the unprinted printing pressure 29 of the web 02, guides the web 02 into the second inclined section 24 of the dryer 21.
  • a guide roller 34 is arranged which feeds the dried web 02 from above to a first printing unit 08 of the printing tower 14 for reverse printing.
  • This guide roller 34 acts, ie for the first time touches the printed face side 28 of the web 02 after leaving the web 02 from the first printing unit 08 of the printing tower 13 for face printing. The freshly printed face 28 is therefore touched for the first time after the dryer 21 by a guide element.
  • a guide roller 32 Viewed in the direction of travel of the web 02 after the first printing unit 08 of the printing tower 14 for counterpressure, a guide roller 32 which interacts with the face printing side 28 of the web 02 and which guides the web 02 into a first inclined section 26 of the second dryer 22 is arranged.
  • a guide roller 33 Arranged after the first section 26 of the second dryer 22 is a guide roller 33 which interacts with the straight printing side 28 of the web 2 and guides the web 02 into the second horizontal section 27 of the second dryer 22.
  • This guide roller 34 feeds the web 02 from above to the second printing unit 04 of the printing tower 13 for straight printing. In this second printing unit 04, the face print 28 of the web 02 is printed with a second color.
  • Printing and drying the web 02 in the other printing units 04; 06; 07 or 09; 11; 12 of the printing tower 13 for straight printing and the printing tower 14 for reverse printing takes place in accordance with the above-described processes of the respective first printing units 03 and 08 of the printing tower 13 for straight printing and the printing tower 14 for reverse printing.
  • the web 02 is passed over guide rollers 37, an optional final dryer and a non-deliberate L Lten further processing, eg. B. fed to a folder or a ro l Lvorri device.
  • a different number of printing units is also possible for four-color perfecting.
  • the dryers 21; 22 can be assigned to moistening devices 38 for conditioning the web 02. Between the printing units 03; 04; 06; 07; 08; 09; 11; 12 registers brisk lines 39 can be provided.
  • the printing units 03; 04; 06; 07; 08; 09; 11; 12 alternately a face 28 and a Wider woolse te 29 of the substrate 02 or vice versa.
