Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method in printing machines for imaging surfaces, wherein the surfaces to be imaged image information from the previous print job exhibit.
  • the printing press is equipped with at least one with an inking unit, possibly with one Dampening unit interacting printing form cylinder and possibly with a rubber cylinder fitted.
  • the invention further relates to a device in printing machines for imaging surfaces, the printing press having at least one which can be shut off from the printing form cylinder Inking unit, possibly interacting with a dampening unit that can also be switched off Printing form cylinder, possibly with a rubber cylinder interacting with the printing form cylinder and an imaging device for applying an image information carrying Layer is equipped.
  • a method for the regeneration of a is preferred previously known directly illustrated printing form suitable for offset printing.
  • the regeneration the printing plate includes the removal of the images on the printing form and a hydrophilization of the surface of the printing form.
  • the Regeneration by applying an ionized process gas to the printing form through an application device is applied. This is a reactive deletion of the images and the simultaneous hydrophilization in one process step.
  • the one there Volatile reaction products are removed using a suction device.
  • the task is characterized by the features of the 1st, 2nd, 8th, 9th, 18th and 17th Claim solved.
  • the upper part of a printing tower contains a sheet-fed offset printing machine an impression cylinder 5, a blanket cylinder 4 and a printing form cylinder 1.
  • the cylinders mentioned are in one another during the printing process Contact.
  • An inking unit 2 and a dampening unit 3 are set on the printing form cylinder 1.
  • the inking unit 2 and the dampening unit 3, as well as the rubber cylinder 4, are on demand can be switched off from the printing form cylinder 1 by means not shown.
  • On the printing form cylinder 1 can also be a printing form (not shown here) in the form of an imageable one Pressure plate clamped. Instead of this usual pressure plate, it is also possible to use one Apply sleeve to the printing form cylinder 1.
  • the printing form cylinder 1 is mounted in the frame of the printing press and on a traverse 64 assigned to the printing form cylinder 1 movable imaging device 6.
  • the structure of such an imaging device 6 is shown in FIG.
  • the central part of the imaging device 6 is the imaging unit 62 Embodiment of an imaging device working according to an ink-jet principle. It it is also possible to use other order facilities.
  • One (not in the figures embodiment) consists of a device with a laser insertable transfer film.
  • the imaging unit 62 is in the direction of movement of the imaging device 6 (arrow direction) an erasing unit 61 integrated in the imaging device 6. This consists of a laser to which a suction 65 is assigned.
  • the imaging unit 62 is followed by a hardening unit 63.
  • the hardening unit 63 is designed as a laser. It is also possible to use a UV-based device instead of such a laser use.
  • FIG. 4 Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 4 in conjunction with FIG. 5 seen.
  • a traverse 74 On a traverse 74 is an axially movable imaging device 7 arranged. This consists of a coating unit 73 with an upstream one Extinguishing device 71 including suction 75.
  • the coating unit 73 is an imaging unit 72 downstream, with this also being assigned a hardening device can (not shown in the figures).
  • the imaging unit 72 is an ablation laser executed.
  • the coating unit 73 consists of an anilox roller 732, which has a chamber doctor blade 731 including the necessary supply lines 733 is assigned.
  • Other facilities can be used for coating, e.g. Spray.
  • the erasing unit 71, the coating unit 73 and the imaging unit 72 can also be arranged one behind the other in the direction of rotation of the printing form cylinder 1.
  • the printing unit including the printing form cylinder 1 washed. Then the inking and dampening unit 2, 3 and the rubber cylinder 4 turned off from the printing form cylinder 1. The printing form cylinder 1 can also be disengaged become.
  • the data for this are from a digital Memory provided.
  • the imaging device 6 is located outside the printing device Area on the outer edge of the printing form cylinder 1.
  • the imaging device 6 moves in the axial direction (arrow direction).
  • the laser of the erasing unit 61 strikes the one existing from the previous print job Layer. This layer is evaporated by the laser and eliminated by the suction 65.
  • the coating is carried out using a color-friendly coating material on the ink-repellent surface of the printing form cylinder 1 or on the surface the printing form.
  • the color-friendly layer contains the image information of the current one Print job.
  • the coating is carried out with an ink-repellent coating material on the color-friendly surface.
  • the image-bearing elements are here the non-coated areas of the surface of the printing form cylinder 1 or Printing form.
  • the coating material is applied to the ink jet process in one operation brought surface to be coated.
  • the coated Zones in the area of influence of the hardening unit 63, so that the layer is hardened can. This is done by a laser or by UV light.
  • the inking unit 2 the The dampening unit 3 and possibly the blanket cylinder 4 are again placed on the printing form cylinder 1. If necessary, the printing form cylinder is engaged again. So that the usual coloring of the Printing form or the surface of the printing form cylinder 1 begin and the current print job be carried out.
  • the method according to the invention can also be carried out with the device shown in FIG will be realized.
  • the arrangement of the erasing unit 61 ', imaging unit 62' and Hardening unit 63 'perpendicular to the axis of the printing form cylinder 1 becomes the existing one on a track Image information deleted, the current image information transmitted and hardened.
  • a further embodiment of the invention can be achieved by the device shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 will be realized.
  • an imageable layer is applied to the Transfer form cylinder 1. This is done in the following way:
  • a deletion unit 71 opens the surface of the printing form cylinder 1 or existing image-bearing layer removed from the surface of the printing form. The residues are suctioned off. When moving the imaging device 7 through the coating unit 73 a coating on the surface of the printing form cylinder 1 or applied to the surface of the printing form.
  • a color-friendly one becomes in one work step Layer applied to the surface to be coated.
  • the surface is in this case ink-repellent.
  • This layer is then imaged by the imaging unit 72 and hardened if necessary.
  • an ablation laser creates areas of the color-friendly layer the non-image-bearing areas, so that the color-repellent surface of the Printing form cylinder 1 or the printing form is exposed.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 This can be advantageous in one step with the deletion and application of the imageable Layer.
  • the device shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is used. But it can also be done by a separate operation.
  • a color-repellent layer is applied to the color-friendly one Bring surface of the printing form cylinder 1 or the printing plate. The imaging is done now in such a way that the ink-repellent layer is removed from the image-bearing areas, so that the color-friendly surface is exposed.
  • the execution of the current print job can then begin. This will be the Inking unit 2, the dampening unit 3 and possibly the rubber cylinder 4 again on the printing form cylinder 1 employed. If necessary, the printing form cylinder is engaged again. This can be the usual Start coloring the printing form or the surface of the printing form cylinder 1 and the current print job will be executed.
