Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for removing a printing plate from a Plate cylinder according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Printing plates are usually thin metal foils with a surface that is too printing image defined.
  • the printing plate is clamped on a plate cylinder, which in a printing unit is rotatably mounted. After inking the plate, the printing ink from the imaging surface of the printing plate to the material to be printed in one Rotary press transferred.
  • offset printing the print image of Printing plate first on a rubber blanket and then from the rubber blanket to the paper or transfer another substrate.
  • the usable surface of the printing plate extends from its rear edge to its Leading edge.
  • the channel between the front and The trailing edge of the plate becomes increasingly narrow, so that the non-printing channel strip is open to minimize the plate cylinder.
  • the inventive method for removing a printing plate from a Plate cylinder, which is rotatably mounted in a printing unit, a rear edge and a leading edge of the pressure plate by a locking element in a plate gap of the Plate cylinders are held by the following Process steps: release of the rear edge of a pressure plate by the locking element of the plate cylinder, plastic deformation of the pressure plate at the rear edge and Pull off the pressure plate and remove the pressure plate from the plate cylinder.
  • the step of solving can Moving a clamping bar within an open channel of the plate cylinder and that Moving out a support surface of the tensioning bar over a lateral surface of the Include plate cylinder.
  • the step of deforming can Push the pressure plate in the direction of the outer surface of the plate cylinder near the Include clamping bars protruding beyond the lateral surface.
  • the pressure plate can be provided with a pressure bar an automatic plate changing device of the printing unit on the lateral surface of the Plate cylinders are pressed.
  • the stripping step can Placing one belonging to an automatic plate changing device Guide fork near the plastically deformed rear edge, turning the Plate cylinder for pushing the rear edge onto the guide fork and that Bending away the printing plate from the plate cylinder while the rotation of the Plate cylinder will continue to include.
  • the invention is best suited for use with narrow plate channels, i.e. there, where the front and back edges of the pressure plate are in a gap of less than 5 mm, preferably even less than 1 mm.
  • the invention ensures that the pressure plate from automatic plate changer is reliably recorded. This guarantees for example, that the automatic plate change with cylinders with a narrow Channel which e.g. to be used in conjunction with a seamless rubber blanket can be carried out reliably.
  • the guide fork can be rotated, so that its tip is the front edge of the pressure plate (the edge that last from the cylinder is removed) and the front edge can move away from the locking element. Due to the translational movement of the guide fork, the front edge in the Essentially pushed away from the plate gap.
  • a method according to the invention can straighten the bent ones Front edge of the printing plate before removing the printing plate completely to the Essentially flatten leading edge.
  • Fig. 1 shows a plate cylinder 1 with a shaft journal 2, which is about a rotatable axis 3 is rotatably mounted in the machine frame of a printing unit.
  • the plate cylinder 1 has via an open channel 4, in which a locking element 5 with a clamping bar 6 located.
  • Such a plate cylinder 1 with a corresponding locking element 5 is in the US 5,284,093.
  • a printing plate 7 is located on the plate cylinder 1. Die Plate 7 extends from an edge portion, referred to as a leading edge 8 the lateral surface of the plate cylinder 1 to the opposite edge section, referred to as the trailing edge 9. These definitions result from the rotation of the Plate cylinder during printing, which is contrary to in the drawings Runs clockwise.
  • the curved segments of the Front edge 8 and rear edge 9 held in a plate gap between one Wall of the open channel 4 and the tension bar 6 is formed.
  • When locked essentially closes the clamping bar 6 (except for a small open joint) Contact surface that is curved to match the cylinder radius, the lateral surface of the Plate cylinder 1 flush.
  • the front and rear edges 8, 9 are in the plate cylinder 1 so as to minimize the plate gap.
  • the plate gap can be less than about 5 mm and even less than 1 mm.
  • the clamping of the clamping bar 6 can be released by the clamping bar 6 axially channel 4 is moved out.
  • the term "axial" refers to the Axis of the open channel 4, which extends along a secant of the cylinder 1. At the Extending the clamping bar 6 from the channel 4 widens the clamping gap and Front and rear edges 8, 9 are released.
  • a pressure bar 10 is shown, which is generally used for the Insert the front and rear edges 8, 9 of the plate into the clamping gap by the Press plate edges in the direction of the plate cylinder 1.
  • the Press bar 10 can be used to plastically deform the pressure plate 7, so ensure that an automatic plate changer reliably remove plate 7 can.
  • the plate cylinder 1 is turned counterclockwise, until the pressure bar 10 is positioned just below the tension bar 6. At this point both the pressure bar 10 and the tension bar 6 with the intermediate Plate actuated.
  • the pressure bar 10 can also be operated after the tension bar 6 or vice versa become.
  • the plate 7 Since the tension bar protrudes beyond the cylinder jacket, the plate 7 is along a bending line 11 plastically deformed so that it faces outwards and away from the plate cylinder projects. The rear edge 9 no longer jumps back into the clamping gap, even then, when the tensioning bar 6 moves back into the channel 4. At this point the plate is 7 ready for removal by the automatic plate changer, and a guide fork 12 (see Fig. 3) of the plate changer can reliably take the plate and when Transfer the cylinder 1 clockwise into the disposal magazine. At the Rotating the plate cylinder 1 becomes the rear edge 9 of the plate 7 (to the left in FIG. 1) pushed away from the plate cylinder 1 by the guide fork 12.
  • the inventive method can without the installation of additional devices in the Printing unit can be realized.
  • the plate 7 can be permanent with existing devices be deformed.
  • FIG 3 shows an additional feature of the invention.
  • the guide fork 12 of the plate changer pivotally mounted. After the rear edge 9 by extending the clamping bar 6 has been released, the plate cylinder 1 is clockwise rotated so that the plate in the shaft between guide fork 12 and a guide 15 is inserted until the front end of the guide fork 12, the front edge 8 of the Plate 7 reached.
  • the guide fork 12 is rotated slightly clockwise (approximately 5 ° to 20 °), and due to the translational movement of the free end of the Guide fork 12 jumps the front edge 8 of the plate 7 out of the gap.
  • the plate removal device with its grippers and / or removed Rubber suction cups the pressure plate safely without the help of the movement of the guide fork.
  • the front edge 8 in the area the gap gets stuck and the automatic removal is unsatisfactory is guaranteed.
  • Such a situation then requires intervention by the machine operator with the associated delay in plate removal.
  • the otherwise one Automatic plate changes lasting up to two minutes would then be considerably longer and the downtime between print jobs is significantly increased.
  • the pivoting movement of the guide fork 12 is indicated by an arrow 13.
  • the release process can then be continued by releasing the leading edge the plate 7 completely out of the shaft between the guide fork 12 and the guide 15 is pulled and placed in the appropriate removal magazine.
  • Fig. 4 which shows a further variant, after removing the pressure plate 7 from Plate cylinder 1, the curved front edge 8 of the plate 7 get stuck in the shaft 4 or get caught at the front end of the guide fork 12. It is therefore according to the Invention advantageous to bend back the leading edge 8 and the end portion of the plate 7th essentially flatten.
  • the locking mechanism is closed after the rear edge 9 securely in the removal shaft between the guide forks 12 and 15 is located.
  • the tension bar 6 can after flattening the plate 7 opened and the plate can be removed without the otherwise obstructive curved section limits the front edge 8.
  • Another advantage of Eliminating the bend on the leading edge 8 shows up when the used one Pressure plate is placed in the removal magazine. This is usually done by a Passing the plate through press rolls achieved the bent plate edges "flatten" to ensure a straight plate edge. Bending with the Guide fork 12 ensures that the press rolls the plate in the wrong direction bend and thereby actually reinforce the bend at the leading edge.
