Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing machine, in particular rotary pad printing machine with at least one receiving means, which has a plurality of mutually spaced receptacles, on each of which an object to be printed is to attach and with at least one printing module with which said items are printable in continuously running recording medium.
  • Printing machines of the type mentioned are known and are used in particular for printing uneven objects, such as bottle caps or keyboards. For multi-color printing several printing modules are provided in succession accordingly. In principle, however, a single-color printing with only one printing module is possible.
  • the invention also relates to a method for printing articles with at least one tampon doffer module.
  • the printing module has a paint tray into which a inking roller dips.
  • This inking roller colors a cliché roller, from which excess ink is removed by means of a squeegee device.
  • the Cliché roller dyes a pad roller which prints objects one after the other.
  • the objects on the circumference of a wheel are each mounted on a receptacle. The wheel turns continuously and the objects are printed accordingly on the stationary printing modules.
  • a loading device brings the objects to be printed on the wheel and after printing the objects are removed with an unloading the wheel and sent for further processing.
  • the DE-A-195 10 677 discloses a pad printing machine in which the printing process begins with the detection of the incoming print material over an optical sensor.
  • a control computer determines from the sensor signals for beginning and end and other properties of the printed material, the delay times for placing and lifting the pad roller on the pad roller and the mating roller on the pad roller and initiates these operations accordingly.
  • the invention has the object of developing a printing machine of the type mentioned so that a precise pressure and higher performance is possible.
  • the printing machine should still be reliable and inexpensive to produce.
  • the object is achieved in a generic printing press characterized in that the receiving means are driven by a first drive and the printing module of a second, highly dynamic drive and that this second, highly dynamic drive controls the printing module so that compensates for this manufacturing tolerances of the receiving means automatically.
  • the print module By adapting the print module to the individual positions of the images, tolerances between the objects to be printed and between the images can be exactly compensated.
  • the highly dynamic second drive thus controls the pressure module according to the positions of the objects or recordings.
  • the receiving means which is designed in particular as a wheel, can rotate during printing at a constant speed. It has been shown that with the novel printing machine a precision is achievable that enables digital printing.
  • the printing module is a digital printing module.
  • measuring means are provided with which the distances between the recordings can be determined for controlling the printing module.
  • these measuring means comprise a rotational angle sensor on the receiving means for determining the distances between the recordings.
  • a rotational angle sensor on the receiving means for determining the distances between the recordings.
  • the beginning and the end of the distance measurements are respectively indicated.
  • the light sensor is arranged so that it is interrupted in each case by a recording.
  • induction sensors are provided to position the receiving means and the printing module. As a result, a particularly precise control is possible.
  • the printing machine according to the invention is designed so that the distances between the recordings in a learning run can be determined.
  • the determined distances between the recordings are stored in a register and due to these distances, the print module is controlled. Division tolerances between the recordings can thus be compensated very accurately.
  • the clichés are determined on the cliché roller and tolerance deviations in the positions of the clichés are also taken into account in the control. This enables a particularly precise print.
  • the printing machine shown is a rotary pad printing machine and has a machine frame 2, on which a wheel-shaped receiving means 5 is rotatably mounted on an axis 7.
  • a wheel-shaped receiving means 5 is rotatably mounted on an axis 7.
  • receptacles 6, for example mandrels are arranged, each of which has a in FIG. 2 shown item 8, for example, a bottle cap, record.
  • the feeding of the articles 8 takes place with a feeding device 3, which supplies the articles 8 individually.
  • the items 8 would be consecutive printed in three-color printing by three printing modules A, B and C.
  • the objects 8 are removed by means of a discharge device 4 from the receiving means 5 and supplied for further processing.
  • the objects 8 thus leave the receiving means 5 within one revolution.
  • the receiving means 5 is not necessarily formed radförmig, but may for example also be formed by an endless chain or the like.
  • the receiving means 5 is driven by a first drive 9 at a constant rotational speed.
  • the drive is independent of the drive of the print modules A, B and C.
  • the printing modules A to C can all be made the same. They each print different colors, which in this case result in a three-color print. In principle, however, an embodiment with only one printing module, for example, with the printing module A is conceivable.
  • the Figures 3 and 4 show the printing module A, which has a housing 2, on which a Einfärbewalze 14, a Cliche roller 15, a pad roller 17 and a cleaning roller 28 of a cleaning device 25 are rotatably mounted.
  • the inking roller 14 dips into a paint tray 13 and colors the cliché roller 15.
  • a known squeegee device 20 rakelt the peripheral surface of the Cliché roller 15 from.
  • Two scraper arms 27 strip the side surface of the Cliché roller 15 and remove in this way lateral color residues.
  • the cliché roller 15 dyes the pad roller 17 in a known manner, so that printed images 26 are present at regular intervals on the peripheral surface 32 of the pad roller 17.
  • the cleaning roller 28 which heats is removed, remaining color from the peripheral surface 32.
  • the pad roller 17 has a rubber-elastic body 33 which is secured against rotation on a core 34.
  • the core 34 sits on a shaft 35 which is in FIG. 4 is visible and which projects into the housing 12 and sits on a not shown here spur gear.
  • This spur gear forms with two further spur gears 21 and 22, a gear 30 with which the pad roller 17 and the cliché roller 15 are driven.
  • the spur gears 21 and 22 each consist of two sub-wheels, which are braced against each other for receiving a backlash.
  • the gear 30 is formed so that the cliché roller 15 is rotated correspondingly faster according to its smaller circumference and no slip occurs between the cliché roller 15 and the pad roller 17.
  • the cleaning roller 28 is driven by friction on the pad roller 17.
  • the inking roller 14 is driven by friction from the cliché roller 15.
  • the highly dynamic second drive 10 has a servo motor 11 which is mounted on the housing 12 and which drives the spur gear 21 of the transmission 30.
  • the spur gear 21 meshes with the above-mentioned and not visible here spur gear, which sits on the drive shaft 35.
  • This spur gear meshes with the spur gear 22 which is mounted on the drive shaft 36 of the cliché roller 15.
  • the cliché roller 15 and the pad roller 33 are thus mechanically fixedly coupled to each other via the gear 30.
  • the highly dynamic drive 10 is independent of the first drive 9 of the receiving means 5.
  • the receptacles 6 of the receiving means 5 are according to FIG. 2 each arranged at a distance D to each other, as in FIG. 2 is shown. Due to manufacturing tolerances, these distances are not exactly the same. In FIG. 2 is the distance between the receptacle 6 and the receptacle 6 'D-0.5 mm and the distance between the receptacle 6''and the receptacle 6''' D + 0.5 mm. Of course, the deviations can also be smaller here, for example 0.1 mm. Due to these deviations, the prints on the objects 8, 8 ', 8''and8''' would be shifted accordingly.
  • all distances D are determined in a learning run and stored in a register of a controller, not shown here.
  • To determine the distances D is according to FIG. 5 arranged on the shaft 7 of the receiving means 5 a Drehwinkelauf disturbing S1.
  • a stationary light sensor S3 is arranged on the circumference of the receiving means 5, which forms a light barrier, which is interrupted by the receptacles 6 during rotation of the receiving means 5.
  • the light sensor S3 starts or ends the distance measurements of the rotational angle sensor S1.
  • the recording means 5 is rotated at a constant but reduced speed.
  • the rotational angle sensor S1 and the light sensor S3 are activated in this case and determine all distances D between adjacent recordings 6. These measured values are stored in the named register.
  • an inductive sensor S2 or S2 'are arranged on each of these, as shown in FIG. 5 is shown. These inductive sensors S2 and S2 'are each arranged at a distance from the corresponding axis of rotation. With the aid of these inductive sensors S2 and S2 ', the receiving means 5 and the pad roller 17 can be accurately positioned.
  • the printing modules A, B and C are controlled so that said Manufacturing tolerances are automatically compensated. This will be explained below with reference to FIG. 2 explained in more detail.
  • the receiving means 5 is driven at a constant speed, which in FIG. 2 is indicated by the straight line 37. This speed is determined by the first drive 9.
  • the speed of the pad roller 17, however, is not constant and in FIG. 2 indicated by the line 36.
  • the lines 36 and 37 indicate according to the double arrow 38, the speed over time.
  • the curves 36 and 37 will be explained with reference to the printing module A. The same applies to the printing modules B and C.
  • the printing module A is in engagement with the receptacle 6 or the object 8, then this object 8 is printed with the pad roller 17.
  • the speeds of the receiving means 5 and the pad roller 17 are exactly the same and constant during this procedure.
  • the distance between the pickup 6 and 6 ' was measured and this measurement showed that this distance is smaller than the setpoint.
  • the second drive 10 after the printing of the article 8 is controlled so that the speed corresponding to said reduction in distance according to the curve K1 reduced and until the beginning of the new pressure of the article A 'back to the speed of the first drive and thus to the speed of the curve 37 is raised.
  • the course of the curve K1 is in FIG. 2 only given for example. The course can also be different.
  • the article 8 ' is thus again printed at a constant speed of the second drive 10.
  • the distance between the objects 8 '' and 8 '''is greater than the nominal value between the recordings 6''and6'', and in this range of the distance C2 the velocity now becomes greater of the second drive 10 increases, as in FIG. 2 is indicated with the curve K2.
  • the speed of the drive 10 is thus increased briefly and then falls back to the speed of the curve 37 back.
  • the stated manufacturing tolerances can be compensated very precisely. Due to these compensations, the printed images 26 of the pad roller 17 are each accurately positioned with respect to the articles 8 to 8 '''. This of course applies to all items to be printed.
  • the mentioned learning trip is basically only necessary once for each shot 5. After a change of recording 5, a new learning run is performed and the corresponding distances are stored in said register. In principle, however, a learning run can also be carried out before each recording of a new print series. It is also conceivable, however, an embodiment in which said distances D are measured directly during operation. However, a low-speed learning run results in a particularly accurate measurement.
  • the printing modules A, B and C are according to the embodiment shown pad printing modules. Due to the high printing accuracy and a raster print is possible. On the three pad rollers 17 in this case, for example, in each case one image part in a basic color. These image parts are then added to each object to the image.
  • Tolerance deviations may also occur on the cliché roller 15, in particular the distances between the clichés may deviate from the nominal value, which may likewise lead to deviations in the pressure.
  • the positions of the clichés are measured with a measuring device, not shown here, for example a laser measuring device, and the corresponding measured values are stored in the register. By controlling the second drive 10, these deviations can also be compensated.
