Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sheet-processing printing machine with at least one flexographic printing or offset printing cylinder and at least one impression cylinder having at least one sheet-guiding gripper.
  • the high-pressure method is known, which is characterized in that the printing elements of the printing form are raised, while the non-printing parts are recessed.
  • the planographic printing method is known, in which the printing elements and the non-printing parts of the printing form (practically) lie in one plane.
  • the gravure printing process is particularly widespread in magazine printing, in which the printing elements of the printing form are recessed.
  • the so-called through-printing method or else screen-printing method is also known, in which the ink is transferred to the printing material through screen-like openings of the printing form at the printing locations.
  • the high-pressure process also includes the so-called flexographic printing or anil printing, in which the printing plate is flexible.
  • Today's offset printing belongs to the category of planographic printing.
  • the parts to be printed become oleophilic, that is, when coloring, they accept the (greasy) printing ink, while the parts which are not intended to print become oleophobic, i. H. they repel the paint.
  • a sheet-guiding printing machine or sheet-fed press sheets are removed individually from a stack and discharged by means of a transfer cylinder on a impression roller or impression cylinder, which rests on the impression cylinder. During this process, the ink previously applied to the printing cylinder is transferred to the sheet.
  • the sheet-fed flexographic printing and offset printing presses available on the market have pressure cylinders which have at least one recess extending in the axial direction, the so-called plate clamping channel.
  • the flexible pressure plate is clamped between two adjacent recesses of the plate clamping cylinder.
  • the impression cylinders In order to enable the transport of the sheets, the impression cylinders generally have a gripper, which consists of a gripper arm and a gripper pad.
  • the gripper is in arranged a recess of the press cylinder.
  • the gripper arm is now pressed on the side opposite the gripper pad side of the sheet. Now rotates the impression cylinder, the sheet is transported by the gripper, which holds the sheet between gripper pad and gripper arm.
  • the roll-leading printing presses on printing cylinders without recesses. Since no single sheets must be used in the roll-leading printing presses, it is possible to dispense with the grippers in the impression roller or impression cylinder. Consequently, no part of the gripper is beyond the outer contour of the impression cylinder, so that the missing recess in the plate clamping cylinder in this case leads to no disadvantage.
  • a so-called sleeve can be used in the roll-guiding printing machines, which has a closed cylindrical shape and surrounds the entire pressure cylinder. Thus, for example, paper can be printed continuously on rolls.
  • the known sheet-guiding offset and flexographic printing machines have the disadvantage that on the one hand the flexible printing plates must be adjusted individually on the plate clamping cylinder, and on the other hand, that the impression cylinder of the known offset and flexographic sheet machines can not be used for other printing methods, since the Gripping arm protrudes in the holding position on the outer contour of the impression cylinder, so that the pressure cylinder must have indispensable recesses. Such recesses, however, are unacceptable, for example, in the gravure printing process, since here the printing cylinder dips into the ink and thus excess ink must be "doctored off".
  • US 3,163,558 shows a gripper system commonly used in gravure printing.
  • the gripper elements are arranged within the cylinder described by the peripheral surface of a counter-pressure cylinder.
  • EP 0045374 shows a gripper device which is arranged within the peripheral surface of a printing cylinder covered with a blanket, wherein the impression cylinder is also an impression cylinder for a blanket cylinder covered with a blanket.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a sheet-fed offset printing or flexographic printing machine available that is versatile, easy to adjust and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the gripper is arranged in the sheet-guiding position completely within the cylinder described by the peripheral surface of the impression cylinder, and that at least one flexographic printing cylinder or an offset printing cylinder has no plate clamping channel (6).
  • the peripheral surface of the impression cylinder is understood to be essentially that part of the surface of the impression cylinder which bears against the impression cylinder.
  • the impression cylinder may have areas of lesser radius, so that, strictly speaking, the peripheral surface of the impression cylinder in this area describes a cylinder of smaller radius. But here are meant only the areas on the impression cylinder on which the sheet rests during the printing process.
  • the gripper is now arranged within the outer contour of the impression cylinder, so not protrudes above the recess, can be dispensed with in the printing cylinder on a recess or the Plattenspannkanal if necessary. It is therefore possible to use a sleeve instead of the flexible printing plates, as it is already known from roll-leading printing machines.
  • the outer pressure surface of the sleeve can not be fully exploited, as must necessarily remain between the individual sheets, a distance in which the gripping arm can engage to transport the sheet. Consequently, the sleeve must have a non-printing area. It must therefore be made and used especially for sheetfed printing sleeves, at least in flexographic printing sleeves.
  • This new arrangement of the gripper for offset and flexographic printing method also has the advantage that this impression cylinder can also be used for other printing processes, such as gravure printing. For example, it is possible to easily exchange a flexographic printing cylinder or an offset printing cylinder for a gravure printing cylinder without having to make any changes to the sheet-guiding mechanism.
  • the counter-pressure cylinders according to the invention can be used both in roll-guiding and in sheet-guiding printing presses. Moreover, if necessary, a speedy conversion of a sheet-guiding printing machine in a roll-leading printing machine and vice versa possible.
  • the gripper according to the invention in a roll-guiding printing machine is at least partially closed by a device which may also be combined with the gripper arm to increase the area to be printed on the web.
  • the gripper consists of a gripper arm and a gripper pad, wherein at least the gripper arm is movable relative to the gripper pad.
  • the gripper arm can be arranged pivotable about a pivot point.
  • At least one pressure cylinder is arranged above the sheet path.
  • the printing cylinder is easily accessible, so that a change of the printing plates or the sleeve is easily possible.
  • At least one flexographic printing cylinder or an offset printing cylinder is optionally interchangeable with its ink supply device against a gravure cylinder with corresponding ink supply.
  • the printing press can then be converted as needed.
  • a plurality of flexographic printing cylinders or offset printing cylinders or also gravure printing cylinders may optionally be arranged in succession with corresponding drying devices.
  • gravure cylinders and flexographic printing cylinders or offset printing cylinders can be combined as desired in a so-called sheet-guiding hybrid printing machine.
  • a sheet-guiding hybrid printing machine which combines the qualitative advantages of intaglio printing with low-cost flexo printing or offset printing, can be easily realized due to the present invention.
  • the gripper or the gripper pad is adjustable so that, depending on the application of the gripper arm is either positioned so that it is located in the sheet-guiding position radially within the outer contour of the impression cylinder or radially outside.
  • the latter position is not part of the present invention. This ensures that in the event that a plate clamping cylinder with recess or a plate clamping channel is used as a printing cylinder, the gripper can be arranged so that the sheets are not kinked or bent in the gripping. This can be particularly advantageous when using very stiff bows.
  • the printing machine preferably has at least one adjustable counter-pressure cylinder whose distance from the adjacent transfer cylinder can be varied at least to a certain extent, so that the peripheral speed of the paper guide can be adapted to the peripheral speed of the printing periphery.
  • the outer contour of the impression roller or impression cylinder is indicated by the dashed line denoted by 1.
  • the dashed line denoted by 2 represents the outer contour of the printing cylinder.
  • the leading sheet 3 is clamped in the position shown between the gripper pad 4 and the gripper arm 5.
  • the gripper, d. H. the gripper pad 4 and the gripper arm 5 are connected to the impression cylinder.
  • pressure cylinder 2 and counter-pressure cylinder 1 move at the same peripheral speed in the direction of the arrow, the sheet 3 is moved between the impression cylinder and impression cylinder and printed.
  • the gripper arm is arranged such that it extends radially within the outer contour of the impression cylinder 1. This inevitably, as also clearly visible in the figure, the arc slightly curved or bent in the edge region. Numerous tests have proven that this minimal curvature of the sheet surprisingly does not lead to any registration problems in flexographic printing or offset printing.
  • the gripper pad is adjustable.
  • the gripper support In the sheet-guiding position of the gripper which is not part of the present invention shown in FIG. 2, the gripper support has been displaced outward in the radial direction. This position substantially corresponds to the position of the grippers in the conventional sheet-fed printing presses. It can be clearly seen that the Gripper over the recess in the impression cylinder protrudes. In this position, the non-printable edge area of the sheet is minimal.
  • This position has the advantage over the position shown in FIG. 1 that the sheet is not bent in its edge region.
  • this setting of the gripper is only possible if the corresponding pressure cylinder has a recess 6, z. B. in the form of a plate clamping channel 6 has. Due to the adjustability ensures that depending on the used printing cylinder always the most favorable position of the gripper can be adjusted.
  • the flexibility of the sheet-guiding flexographic printing machines and the sheet-guiding offset printing presses can be significantly increased. So now, for example, all known printing processes can be combined as desired in a printing press. As already stated, a special embodiment has the subsequent replacement of the printing cylinder. As a result, depending on the desired printing, it is possible to select a module-like manner for each individual printing step, whether printing by gravure, flexographic printing or offset printing is to be used.
