Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for changing a printing cylinder sleeve in a printing press with a central cylinder and several on the central cylinder adjustable inking units, each with a printing plate cylinder have pushed on a mandrel pressure cylinder sleeve, in which the Printing plate cylinder from the central cylinder and the printing cylinder sleeve is pulled axially from the mandrel after loosening a bearing.
  • EP-A-0 812 681 describes a flexographic printing machine with several on the circumference Central cylinders arranged inking units described, in which the printing plate cylinder each inking unit is interchangeable on a frame-fixed Mandrel held pressure cylinder sleeve.
  • the printing plate cylinder is the size of the Central cylinder moved away, and on the operating side of the printing press a bearing of the printing plate cylinder is released and removed, for example Driven side, so that the pressure cylinder sleeve pull axially from the mandrel leaves.
  • the mandrel is laid out on the opposite side of the printing press held in the machine frame and remains during the entire changing process in the machine frame.
  • the printing cylinder sleeve can be a so-called sleeve, on which the printing plates or clichés are stretched, or around an intermediate cylinder, which in turn has a sleeve with the outer circumference clichés stretched on it.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method with which at least in some cases, the downtime of the press during the conversion can shorten another print job.
  • This object is achieved in that the change of Printing cylinder sleeve with the printing machine running and the printing plate cylinder is parked so far from the central cylinder that between the impression cylinder sleeve and a space is created for the rotating central cylinder, which enables the pressure cylinder sleeve to be gripped safely.
  • This procedure always enables downtimes to be reduced, if not all the inking units of the Printing machine can be used. In this case it is possible to use the impression cylinder sleeves of the unused inking units to be replaced before the current one Print job is finished. In this way, the printing press can be closed before it is finished of the current print job in whole or in part for the job to be executed next Convert print job so that machine downtime is considerable be shortened.
  • the three Inks that are not required for the first print job are available for the next print job can be set up so that between the end of the no time for the first print job and the start of the second print job more is needed to replace the cylinder sleeve.
  • the printing plate cylinder has even if it is turned off from the central cylinder, only a relatively small one Distance to the circumferential surface of the central cylinder. Because the central cylinder rotates at high speed, it could be when changing the impression cylinder sleeve Damage or injury while the press is running come when the pressure cylinder sleeve or the used for their handling Aggregates or the hand of the operator who changes the pressure cylinder executes, abuts the rotating central cylinder. For this reason According to the invention provided that the printing plate cylinder so far from the central cylinder is turned off that between the impression cylinder sleeve and the circumference the central cylinder has a sufficient safety distance. If no additional security measures should be taken, this distance be at least 120 mm. This implies a construction of the printing press advance, which allows the printing plate cylinder to be far enough from the central cylinder move away.
  • the invention further relates to a printing press in which the scope the central cylinder at the end on the operating side Protection against accidental contact is provided. This makes it safe to replace enables the printing cylinder sleeve while the printing press is running, if there is no safety distance due to the structural conditions of 120 mm or more between the printing plate cylinder and the central cylinder adheres to.
  • the contact protection is arranged movably, and it is only brought into the effective position if the Printing plate cylinder has moved away from the central cylinder.
  • the Protection against contact must be designed so that it is in its effective position in the Gap between the pressure cylinder and central cylinder and thus completely or partially shields the peripheral surface of the rotating central cylinder.
  • the printing machine shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a machine frame Side parts 10, 12, between which a central cylinder 14 which can be driven in rotation is stored.
  • Several inking units are arranged on the circumference of the central cylinder 14, of which only two inking units 16, 18 are shown in the drawing are.
  • Each inking unit has an adjustable against the central cylinder 14 Printing plate cylinder 20 and one adjustable against the printing plate cylinder Anilox roller 22 on.
  • the printing material (not shown) is loop-shaped passed over the circumference of the central cylinder 14 so that it through the The nip passes through the central cylinder 14 with each of the printing plate cylinders 20 forms.
  • the anilox roller 22 is shown with the help of a Chamber doctor blade dyed with printing ink and gives the printing ink to the clichés further, which are clamped on the printing plate cylinder 20, so that the printing material running through the nip is printed with the printing ink.
  • the printing plate cylinder 20 is constructed at least in two parts and comprises one rotatable in the machine frame mandrel 24 and a detachable on the Mandrel clamped pressure cylinder sleeve 26 which on its outer circumference Carries clichés.
  • the anilox roller 22 also has a mandrel 28 and a replaceable sleeve 30.
  • the mandrel 24 of the printing plate cylinder 20 of each inking unit is in bearing blocks 30, 32 mounted, which are slidably guided on the side parts 10, 12, so that the printing plate cylinder 20 to the central cylinder 14 and from this can be turned off again.
  • the side part 10, which is on the operating side of the printing press is one for each inking unit 16, 18 Window 34 through which the printing plate cylinder 20 and the anilox roller 22 of the relevant inking unit are accessible.
  • the guided on this side part 10 Bearing block 30 forms a folding bearing which can be detached from the mandrel 24.
  • the bracket 32 forms a stable tilt Bearing with which the mandrel 24 is held like a boom when the folding bearing solved and removed on the operating side.
  • the mandrel 28 of the anilox roller 22 is mounted in a corresponding manner in bearing blocks 36, 38.
  • a contact protection 40 is arranged on the side part 10 for each inking unit, which lies in the window 34 in question.
  • This touch guard 40 has an end plate 42 which covers the part of the end face of the central cylinder 14, which is behind the window 34.
  • One at right angles from the face plate 42 protruding screen plate 44 ( Figure 2) is curved so that it is the peripheral surface of the central cylinder 14 follows with a small radial distance.
  • An actuating cylinder 46 for example a pneumatic cylinder, is by means of a base plate 48 held on the side part 10 and enables the touch guard 40 to be adjusted in the direction parallel to the axis of the central cylinder 14.
  • the relevant inking unit 16 can be used for printing become.
  • the anilox roller 22 and the Printing plate cylinder 20 moved back into the positions shown in Figure 3. Between the peripheral surface of the pressure cylinder sleeve 26 and the peripheral surface the central cylinder 14 then has a gap of, for example, 120 mm. There is also some space between the perimeter the anilox roller 22 and the impression cylinder sleeve 26. In preparation for the cylinder change the folding bearings of the bearing blocks 30 and 36 are released, and the Bearing blocks 30, 36 are moved to the side. The printing plate cylinder 20 is then with its mandrel 24 cantilevered, freely cantilevered, only through the bearing block 32 held, and the end face of the pressure cylinder sleeve 26 lies on the Operating side freely accessible in window 34.
  • the contact protection 40 is moved into the position shown in FIG shown position extended, in which the end plate 42 close to the end face of the central cylinder 14 and the screen plate 44 is adjacent to the window 34 Shields the circumferential area of the central cylinder 14.
  • the Central cylinder 14 rotates at high speed, the user can safely in the space between the central cylinder and the pressure plate cylinder grip to pull the cylinder sleeve 26 axially from the mandrel 24, as in FIG. 4 is shown.
  • a new printing cylinder sleeve can also be used while the machine is running 26 are pushed back onto the mandrel 24.
  • an ejector system can optionally be provided, as described in European patent application 99 119 764.
  • the bearing block 30 is in again brought the position in which it supports the free end of the mandrel 24, and that Folding warehouse is closed.
  • the bearing block 30 is then in a position in which it also allows the sleeve of the anilox roller 22 to be replaced, if necessary.
  • the conversion of the inking unit 16 to the new print job can thus be done before the end of the previous print job, so that without Loss of time can begin with the new print job. If that Inking unit 16 is to be put back into operation, the contact protection 40 pulled back into the inactive position according to FIGS. 1 and 2, and the printing plate cylinder 20 and the anilox roller 20 are again against each other and against the central cylinder 14.
