Definitions

  • Inking unit for inking a Formzy country of a gravure printing machine
  • the invention relates to an inking unit for coloring a Formzy Linders a Ti ef printing machine ne according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • DE A3 40 128 C2 describes an inking unit for a rotary printing press with a height-adjustable ink tray and inking roller.
  • DE-AS 21 39 834 discloses a printing unit for a printing machine, in which an ink tray and a rake device are arranged on a height-adjustable work platform.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an inking unit for a Ti ef printing machine ne.
  • An inking unit 01 for inking a forme cylinder 02 of a rotary printing press essentially consists of a rake device 03, an inking roller 04 and an ink tray 06. In addition to the first one
  • a second ink tank designed as a collecting tank 07 is provided below the first ink tank 06, and the ink tank 06 inking the forme cylinder 02.
  • This second drip pan 07 surrounds the first paint pan 06.
  • a width of the drip pan 07 extends at least to the extent that from the
  • Collection tray 07 is performed.
  • This drip pan 07 is adjustable in height by means of a holder 08
  • the ink pan 06 is parallel to an axis of rotation 11 of the forme cylinder 02 by means of a joint 12 in the radial direction of the
  • the inking roller 04 is rotatably mounted within the drip pan 07 in two bearings 13 which are sprung with respect to the ink pan 06.
  • the doctor device 03 consists essentially of a doctor holder 19 with doctor blade 21 and a support 22 and two actuators 23; 24, for example working cylinders 23; 24.
  • the doctor holder 19 is pivotally mounted on one end of the carrier 22 parallel to the axis of rotation 11 of the forme cylinder 02.
  • the doctor blade 21 can be turned on and off by means of this working cylinder 23.
  • This working cylinder 23 can cooperate with a motor-adjustable stop to limit the stroke.
  • the carrier 22 and the doctor blade holder 19 are mounted so that they can be displaced in the axial direction by means of a drive motor (not shown).
  • Squeegee blade 21, squeegee holder 19, carrier 22 and working cylinder 23 oscillate during operation.
  • the carrier 22 is pivotally mounted with respect to the platform 09 parallel to the axis of rotation 11 of the forme cylinder 02.
  • a working cylinder 24 mounted on the platform 09 engages this carrier 22.
  • An angle of attack alpha can be set by means of this working cylinder 24.
  • the working cylinder 24 moves indirectly or directly against a motor-adjustable stop, not shown.
  • This angle of attack alpha is defined by a tangent 26 in the point of contact of the doctor blade 21 on the forme cylinder 02 and by a straight line 27 running parallel to the doctor blade 21.
  • This angle of attack alpha is, for example, 60 ° to 80 °.
  • the contact zone between doctor blade 21 and forme cylinder 02 lies below a horizontal line 28 running through the axis of rotation 11 of the forme cylinder 02.
  • the platform 09 is height-adjustable by means of threaded spindles 29 and can therefore be adapted to different diameters of the exchangeable forme cylinders 02.
  • three threaded spindles 29 are provided in the axial direction, for example, which are synchronized with one another.
  • the threaded spindles 29 are driven by means of a common actuator 31.
  • screw jacks 32 are provided for adjustment. These screw jacks 32 are arranged on a side frame 33 of the printing press machine.
  • the platform 09 is relative to the forme cylinder 02 in its radial direction pos iti oni e rbar.
  • Ink tray 06, rake device 03 and collecting tray 07 are arranged on a platform 09 and can thus be adjusted in height together by means of an actuator 31.
  • the inking roller 04 is adjustable in height with respect to the collecting trough 07 and thus with respect to the platform 09,
  • the angle of attack alpha of the doctor blade 21 to the forme cylinder 02 can be changed.
