Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dampening system for an offset printing press, that with a plate cylinder carrying a printing form and an inking unit in functional connection is after the Preamble of the main claim.
  • a dampening unit of this type is known from DE 34 16 845 A1, which essentially consists of a feed device for the Dampening solution, a device for dosing the dampening solution film and a dampening roller that covers the dampening solution film transfers to a plate cylinder.
  • the dampening system is with an inking unit assigned to the plate cylinder coupled as well as operated separately.
  • the dampening roller is to the plate cylinder with different peripheral speed operable, so that for example foreign particles eliminating wiping effect.
  • a dampening system which a ink-absorbing roller (rider roller) of the dampening roller in Has assigned contact.
  • This ink-absorbing roller rotates with a different one to the plate cylinder Peripheral speed and is to the neighboring inking unit coupled or can be operated separately with the dampening roller.
  • the disadvantage here is that abrasion occurs on the wiper that contaminates the dampening solution.
  • the soft elastic material with color particles add so that the cleaning effect on the roller surface subsides.
  • the invention is based on the object, a dampening to create the kind mentioned at the outset that the Avoids disadvantages, in particular a process stable Dampening solution supply to the plate cylinder allowed and the The risk of emulsification is noticeably reduced.
  • a first advantage of the invention is based on the fact that at least one dampening roller after a contact point of dampening roller and plate cylinder at least one in Direction of rotation of this plating device downstream of the dampening roller to the outer surface of the dampening roller can be adjusted in parallel.
  • the plating device causes a change in shape (plastic Shaping) of the color tips or color crests and the color valleys within the surface structure present on the dampening roller the color.
  • the change in shape represents a micro-forming the surface structure of the color such change in shape of the surface structure of the color the color tips or color tips slide into the color valleys, i.e. take place within the color layer of the color structure Sliding processes that cause the plastic shape, so that an approximately flat surface topography of color in a defined layer thickness can be achieved.

Another advantage is based on the fact that the improved wetting of the dampening unit rollers enables a reduction in dampening solution additives, for example isopropanol, to be achieved. The formation of paint mist is also noticeably reduced through the use of plating devices.
  • the plating device is used to create a relatively flat surface topography on the outer surface of an assigned ink-accepting and dampening agent-guiding dampening unit roller. In the area of the plating device, paint should not be torn off on the lateral surface of the corresponding roller, since otherwise uneven surface topographies would arise.
