Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the calibration or re-calibration of a conversion factor (Web encoder resolution), which is used to determine one of one Printing material in a printing machine, in particular an electrophotographic one Printing press, distance traveled clocks of a rotary encoder (Web encoder), which drives the conveyor belt, preferably the rotation of a rotating drive element for the conveyor belt, signaled, in a Length dimension can be converted.
  • a conversion factor Web encoder resolution
  • a path in the direction of transport must be used for different needs (intrack) of a substrate can be determined.
  • one of the quality features of a print how exactly the length of a printed image on the Printing material (actual length), preferably on a sheet, in the transport direction of the Substrate matches the desired image length (target length).
  • Such a path conversion factor must, at least once, for each printing press of the same type can also be determined individually with sufficient accuracy.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a method of the type mentioned Show genre that with sufficient accuracy time-economical and can preferably also be carried out automatically.
  • the length of the conveyor belt for the method according to the invention or a section thereof can be determined with sufficient accuracy and also remains sufficiently constant during the operation of the printing press and its aging. Should the total length of the conveyor belt would change over time this is done automatically when the calibration according to the invention is carried out from time to time taken into account, since such a new calibration would determine that now a changed number of clock signal intervals for a full revolution of the Conveyor belt results and this for the new, relative calibration of the locomotion section with the earlier number of clock signal intervals for one round trip to Ratio must be set.
  • For carrying out an exactly complete circulation of the conveyor belt at the calibration may preferably have a significant feature as a marker or arranged or searched for on the conveyor belt as a start and destination mark, however, it can also be, for example, with sufficient accuracy existing to form the closed loop of the conveyor belt Connection seam of the interconnected ends of the conveyor belt be taken as such a brand, for example, due to less Transparency of the conveyor belt at this interface, with an optical sensor could be recognized.
  • Fig. 1 shows a top view of a sheet 1 of a printing material on a conveyor belt 2, of which only a section is shown.
  • the conveyor belt 2 transports the sheet 1 in the direction of arrow 3.
  • the conveyor belt forms a closed Loop (Fig. 3) and runs in the direction 3 around pulleys or rollers.
  • a printed image 4 for example a text with a corresponding type area, is placed on the sheet 1 or a pictorial representation or a mixture of text and / or graphics and / or logo, printed with a total length L.
  • the conveyor belt runs for this by a printing press, preferably an electrophotographic one Printing machine shown in more detail, and passes suitable, also in Fig. 1st Printing units, not shown.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic side view of a section of the conveyor belt 2, which is moved in the transport direction 3 and sheets 1 in this direction 3 thereby transported.
  • the conveyor belt 2 is driven by a drive roller 5, that rotates in the direction of an arrow 6 and that of the conveyor belt 2 partially is wrapped frictionally.
  • the conveyor belt does not form a detail in FIG. 2 shown, closed loop, which runs over several deflecting rollers and which, to produce the aforementioned frictional engagement on the drive roller 5, with the help of the aforementioned Deflection rollers can be tensioned.
  • an angle encoder 7 or encoder is arranged and only indicated schematically in FIG. 2.
  • This rotary encoder 7 gives accordingly the rotational positions of the drive roller 5, ie clock signals related to the angle of rotation from.
  • the drive roller 5 thus has within a temporal clock signal interval rotated further by a certain angle of rotation and the conveyor belt 2 is corresponding this angle of rotation and the associated peripheral portion of the drive roller 5 has been moved forward by a spatial movement section.
  • This Movement section of the conveyor belt during a clock signal interval of the rotary encoder is the suitable unit of measurement for measuring a in the transport direction 3 running distance.
  • the measure of such a distance in this unit of measurement corresponds to the number of clock signals from the rotary encoder 7 are delivered while the conveyor belt by this distance is moved further by the drive roller. Since the dimension in for the printed image length L If you are interested in meters or millimeters, you still need a calibration or calibration take place that the length of the said movement section in millimeters is measured. This has conventionally been done in such a way that the one known exactly in millimeters Length L of a test image was printed on a sheet 1 and then, for example using a sensor that detects the beginning and end of the image was how many clock signals of the rotary encoder 7 pass while the test pattern is moved past said sensor. The length L of the test image divided the length of the locomotion section then results from the measured number of clock signals in millimeters.
  • the cumbersome calibration using a test pattern is unnecessary.
  • the length of a section or preferably entire, rotating conveyor belt 2 is in their number of clock signals or moving sections during a complete circulation of the conveyor belt measured, whereupon the measure is then determined by quotient formation of a locomotion section in millimeters or a suitable conversion factor for converting angles of rotation into path lengths.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows a side view of the area of an electrophotographic working printing machine, in which a conveyor belt 2 for the transport of printing material is arranged and revolves as a closed loop in the direction of arrow 3.
  • the conveyor belt 2 runs over drive rollers 5 which rotate in the direction of arrow 6. in the The area of one of the drive rollers 5 is a rotary angle sensor 7, not shown in detail arranged.
  • To each of the printing units comprises an electrophotographic imaging cylinder 10, a writing head 11 for imaging the imaging cylinder 10, a toner station 12 for applying toner to the imaged imaging cylinder 10 and to develop the image there and a blanket cylinder 13 for transmission of the developed image on the substrate.
