Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device in printing machines for imaging of Surfaces, wherein the printing machine with at least one of the plate cylinder adjustable inking unit, if necessary with a likewise adjustable dampening unit cooperating printing forme cylinder, possibly with one with the printing form cylinder cooperating blanket cylinder and an imaging device for application a layer carrying the image information is equipped.
  • From the document DE 41 23 959 C1 is a method for the regeneration of a preferably previously known directly imaged suitable for offset printing printing form.
  • the regeneration of the printing plate involves the removal of the artwork on the Printing form and a hydrophilization of the surface of the printing plate.
  • the regeneration takes place in that an ionized process gas is applied to the printing plate is applied by a loading device. This becomes a reactive Deleting the imaging and the simultaneous hydrophilization in one process step performed.
  • the resulting volatile reaction products are using a suction device removed.
  • a device in which a in the axial direction arranged to plate cylinder movable carriage. This carries a coating device, a drying device and an ablation laser. The coating device Optionally, a cleaning device may be arranged upstream.
  • the upper part of a printing tower contains a sheet-fed offset printing press an impression cylinder 5, a blanket cylinder 4 and a plate cylinder 1.
  • the mentioned cylinders are in during the printing process with each other Contact.
  • an inking unit 2 and a dampening unit 3 are employed.
  • On the printing plate cylinder 1 can also be a (not shown here) printing form in the form of an imageable Be clamped pressure plate. Instead of this usual printing plate, it is also possible to use a Sleeve applied to the plate cylinder 1.
  • the printing form cylinder 1 is a stored in the frame of the printing press and on a traverse 64 axially movable to the printing form cylinder 1 movable imaging device 6 assigned.
  • FIG. 2 shows the structure of such an imaging device 6.
  • the central part of the imaging device 6 is the imaging unit 62.
  • This is in Embodiment an operating according to an ink-jet principle imaging device. It But it is also possible to use other order facilities.
  • One (not in the figures shown) is a device with a by a laser to use acted transfer film.
  • the imaging unit 62 is in the direction of movement of the imaging device 6 (arrow direction) an erase unit 61 integrated in the imaging device 6 is arranged upstream. These consists of a laser, which is associated with a suction 65.
  • the imaging unit 62 is a hardness unit 63 downstream.
  • the hardness unit 63 is designed as a laser. It is also possible, instead of such a laser, a UV-based device use.
  • the deleting unit 61 ' is provided with a suction 65'.
  • the imaging device 6 ' is analogous to the imaging device 6 on a traverse 64 'axially movable.
  • FIG. 7 From Figure 4 in conjunction with Figure 5 is a further embodiment of the invention seen.
  • a traverse 74 On a traverse 74 is also an axially movable imaging device 7 arranged.
  • This consists of a coating unit 73 with an upstream Extinguishing device 71 including suction 75.
  • the coating unit 73 is an imaging unit 72 downstream, which also be assigned a curing 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 is a chamber doctor blade 731 including the required supply lines 733 is assigned.
  • Other facilities for coating such as e.g. Spray.
  • the erasing unit 71, the coating unit 73 and the imaging unit 72 may be arranged one behind the other in the direction of rotation of the plate cylinder 1.
  • the printing unit including the printing forme cylinder 1 washed. Thereafter, the inking and dampening unit 2, 3 and the Rubber cylinder 4 parked from the plate cylinder 1.
  • the printing form cylinder 1 can also be disengaged.
  • the data for this is from a digital Memory provided.
  • the imaging device 6 At the beginning of the imaging is the imaging device 6 outside the printing area on the outer edge of the printing forme cylinder 1.
  • To perform the Imaging moves the imaging device 6 in the axial direction (arrow).
  • the laser of the erase unit 61 hits the one from the previous print job existing layer. This layer is vaporized by the laser and by the suction 65 eliminated.
  • the coating is carried out with a color-friendly coating material on the ink-repellent surface of the plate cylinder 1 or on the Surface of the printing form.
  • the color-friendly layer contains the image information the current print job.
  • the coating is carried out with a color-repellent coating material on the color-friendly surface.
  • the image-bearing elements are here the uncoated areas of the surface of the plate cylinder 1 or the Printing form.
  • the coating material is applied by an ink-jet process in one operation on the brought to be coated surface.
  • the coating is completed within a single operation and the execution of the current print job can begin.
  • the printing block cylinder is engaged again.
  • the usual coloring of the Start printing form or the surface of the plate cylinder 1 and the current print job be executed.
  • the inventive method can also with the device shown in the figure 4 will be realized.
  • the erase unit 61 ', imaging unit 62' and Hardening unit 63 'at right angles to the axis of the plate cylinder 1 is on a track the existing Image information deleted, the current image information transmitted and cured.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 A further embodiment of the invention can be achieved by the device shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 will be realized.
  • an erase unit 71 is on the surface of the plate cylinder 1 and on the surface of the printing form existing image-bearing layer removed. The residues are sucked off. As the imaging device 7 advances, it is through the coating unit 73 a coating on the surface of the printing form cylinder 1 and applied to the surface of the printing plate.
  • a color-friendly Layer brought 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 optionally cured.
  • areas of the color-friendly layer are produced by an ablation laser removed from the non-image bearing areas, so that the ink-repellent surface of the Printing form cylinder 1 and the printing form is exposed.
  • a color-repellent layer on the here color-friendly Surface of the plate cylinder 1 and the printing plate brought. The illustration is done now so that the ink-repellent layer is removed at the image-bearing areas, so that the color-friendly surface is exposed.
