Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for influencing the color distribution in lift inking units of printing machines.
- Lifter inking units are known (EP 0403861 A1), which have a ductor roller rotating in an ink fountain and an ink lifter that is operatively connected to the ductor roller and a distribution cylinder.
- the distribution cylinder is part of the roller unit of the inking unit.
- the ink lifter periodically swings back and forth between the doctor roller and the distribution cylinder and transfers an ink strip from the duct roller to the distribution cylinder.
- the length of the color strip depends on the time the ink lifter has been in contact with the ink roller and the speed of rotation of the ink roller.
- the color profile from the previous print job in the inking unit is first turned on the machine when the machine is rotating by closing the ink metering elements and by returning the ink quantities present in the inking unit depending on the profile to the ink fountain after a certain number of revolutions apart from a uniformly small, defined and profile-independent ink layer thickness on all rollers and then the color profile required for the subsequent print job in the inking unit by zone-by-zone adjustment of the ink metering elements, by adjusting the length of the ink strip to be transferred to the inking unit and by a defined number of Ink unit revolutions built up.
- the disadvantage here is that influencing the ink distribution in lifter dampening systems is a time-consuming process due to the discontinuous mode of operation of the ink lifter.
- the object of the invention is to create a method and a device for influencing the color distribution in printing machines in a short time.
- the object is achieved by the claims; expedient configurations are disclosed in the subclaims.
- the invention is described in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment.
- a lifter inking unit of a printing press is shown. The method steps according to the invention are explained in more detail with reference to this drawing.
- the lifter inking unit consists of an ink fountain 1, with an ink fountain roller 2, an ink lifter 3, a distribution cylinder 4 and a downstream of the distribution cylinder 4, containing several rollers 5.
- the ink fountain 1 is equipped with motor-driven ink profile adjusting devices 7.
- the ink duct 2 is connected to a drive motor 8 which can drive the ink duct step by step and continuously at different speeds.
- the distribution cylinder 4 is equipped with a drive wheel, not shown, which is part of the drive wheel train of the printing press, i.e. the speed of the friction cylinder can be changed via the speed of the printing press.
- the paint lifter 3 is mounted in a first lever arm 9 'of an angle lever 9.
- the second lever arm 9 "of the angle lever 9 carries a cam roller 10 which is operatively connected to a cam 11.
- the angle lever 9 is mounted in a pivot point 12. This pivot point 12 is in turn arranged in a pivot lever 13 connected to an actuating member 14.
- the geometric relationships of the arrangement of the angle lever and the swivel lever are designed such that the production of the operative connection between the ink duct / ink lifter / distribution cylinder is connected with the separation of the cam roller 10 from the cam 11.
- the cam roller 10 can also be locked by means of a pawl 16 via a movement element 15.
- the process sequence for quickly influencing the color distribution comprises the following process steps.
- the ink fountain roller 2 is accelerated to maximum speed; the drive motor 8 is controlled accordingly.
- the distribution cylinder 4 is now brought to a speed which corresponds to the speed of the ink ductor. This is done by adjusting the speed of the printing press.
- the ink lifter 3 is brought into operative connection both with the ink ductor 2 and with the distribution cylinder 4 (dashed illustration in the drawing).
- the cam roller 10 is steered away from the cam 11 and the vibratory drive for the ink lifter is thus stopped.
- the ink fountain 1 is closed by means of the ink profile adjusting device 7, so that no ink is conveyed to the subsequent rollers.
- the speed of the ink ductor and the distribution cylinder are brought back to the speed required for the printing process.
- the ink fountain roller 2 is accelerated to maximum speed; the drive motor 8 is controlled accordingly.
- the distribution cylinder 4 is now brought to a speed which corresponds to the speed of the ink ductor. This is done by increasing the speed of the printing press.
- the ink lifter 3 is brought into operative connection both with the ink ductor 2 and with the distribution cylinder 4 (dashed illustration in the drawing).
- the cam roller 10 is steered away from the cam 11 and the vibratory drive for the ink lifter is thus stopped.
- the new color profile is set by means of the color profile setting device 7 on the ink fountain 1.
