Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for changing printing sleeves in a printing press according to the preamble of claims 1 and 8.
  • the still unpublished patent application DE 102 23 414 shows a transport device for printing sleeves with a plurality of support pins for receiving the printing sleeves.
  • two adjacent support pins have a distance corresponding to the distance of the printing and anilox roller in their setup positions. These two support pins form a row within the transport device.
  • the transport device can be coupled to a lifting device fastened to the printing press and thus moved horizontally and vertically relative to the printing press.
  • the operator must first equip the transport device with the introduced into the printing press sleeves and the transport device in front of the printing unit in which there are to be replaced printing sleeves, with the help Position the lifting device so that two free support pins are positioned in front of the pressure rollers. Then the pressure sleeves located on the print roller loops can be removed by the operating personnel. Subsequently, the transport device is repositioned to bring the réelleschiebenden printing sleeves in a suitable position for sliding onto the rolling mandrels. Then the pressure sleeves can be pushed. If necessary, the procedure is the same for other printing units.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a method for changing printing sleeves in printing presses, which simplifies the exchange of printing sleeves.
  • the arrangement of the pressure sleeves in the transport device is determined by a computing and control unit.
  • the arrangement of the pressure sleeves is set up so that at least one compression sleeve receiving device remains free in the transport device.
  • the computing and control unit takes into account all relevant printing sleeves, not only those that are to be supplied to the printing press, but also those that must be removed from the printing press and the storage device must be supplied.
  • As a basis for the Determination of the arrangement uses the arithmetic and control unit data on the nominal positions of the individual printing sleeves for processing the new print job and data on the current positions of printing sleeves in the printing press. Also, data about the positions of the printing sleeves in the storage device may be known to the computing and control unit.
  • the arithmetic and control unit determines the arrangement of the printing sleeves in the transport device such that at least one empty printing sleeve receiving device and the at least one new printing sleeve required for the new printing job are contained in each line.
  • One line of the transport device is assigned to a specific printing unit. For each printing unit so at least one empty printing sleeve receiving device is provided.
  • the printing sleeve receiving devices arranged in a row can likewise be arranged horizontally. In this case, after the removal of a printing sleeve of a processed print job, the transport device must only be moved horizontally in order to reach a position in which a new printing sleeve can be pushed onto the roller mandrel.
  • the arithmetic and control unit determines the arrangement of the printing sleeves in the transport device such that one line of printing sleeve receiving devices remains free and the other lines contain the printing sleeves associated with the respective printing units. In this case, therefore, first all printing sleeves of a printing unit are removed from the rolling mandrels. Then, the transport device is moved vertically, so that the respective printing unit associated new printing sleeves can be brought into a suitable position for the change.
  • a display unit a screen may be provided, but are suitable for this purpose, further means for displaying the arrangement, such as prints of a printer.
  • the arrangement of the printing sleeves in the transport device determined by the computing and control unit is carried out by the operator.
  • the operator removes the corresponding pressure sleeves from the storage device and arranges them in the transport device according to the arrangement shown on the display unit.
  • the arithmetic and control unit has interfaces to actuators of the storage and / or transport device and controls them in such a way that they at least partially carry out the transfer between the two aforementioned devices.
  • the computing and control unit has access to data that includes the locations of each individual printing sleeve in the storage device.
  • the transport device can be equipped with pressure sleeves, for example with the aid of a gripper device, without permutations occurring.
  • the printing sleeves removed from the printing press and transported in the transporting device are fed to the storage device, the data containing the positions of the printing sleeves remaining accessible to the computing and control unit.
  • a data memory connected to the computing and control unit can be used.
  • the computing and control unit has interfaces to actuators of the transport device and / or the printing press and controls them so that they perform the transfer between the two aforementioned devices at least partially.
  • a Such control is used for automatic transfer of the transport device to the printing press and back.
  • the control may further comprise the coupling and uncoupling of the transport device to and / or from a lifting device and the method of the transport device relative to the printing press.
  • the arithmetic and control unit controls the position of the transport device relative to the printing press so that empty Druckhülsenabilityvoriquesen are brought into a removal position to be acted upon by the printing sleeves to be replaced Walzendornen and then the with the new printing sleeves acted upon Druckhülsenabilityvorraumen be brought into the change position.
  • the operator can first remove a printing sleeve of the already processed print job from the roller mandrel and postpone it to an empty printing sleeve receiving device.
  • the arithmetic and control unit controls the actuators in such a way that the pressure sleeve of the new print job which is to be pushed onto the roller mandrel is in the interchangeable position is brought. This method is carried out for all rolling mandrels from which a pressure sleeve is removed and / or a pressure sleeve to be pushed.
  • the single FIGURE shows a printing press which is prepared by the method according to the invention.
  • the printing machine 1 comprises two side frames, of which the front side frame 2 can be seen. From the front side frame 2 more printing units are accessible, of which two printing units 3, 4 are exemplified. From the printing unit 3, the two bearing blocks 22 to see that are in the extended position, so that the pressure roller 5 and the anilox roller 6 are accessible.
  • the pressure roller 5 consists essentially of the roller mandrel 8 and the pressure sleeve 7 pushed onto it.
  • the anilox roller 6 is constructed in the same way.
  • the catwalk 10 which is mounted in the pedestal 12, can be moved along the arrow A.
  • one of the two stairs 11 can be folded.
  • the printing machine further comprises a lifting device 15, with which a transport device 13 can be moved relative to the printing press 1.
  • a horizontal movement is made possible by a running rail 17 fastened to the side frame 2.
  • a winch 16 which is slidably mounted on the running rail 17.
  • the operator can first give the computing and control unit 19 via a keyboard 21 information about the new print job. Subsequently, the computing and control unit calculates the arrangement of the printing sleeves in the transport device 13. Now, the operating personnel 9 in a manner not shown to equip the transport device 13 according to the determined by the computing and control unit 19 arrangement. For this purpose, this arrangement is displayed on the screen 20. Subsequently, the operator 9 goes to the first printing unit 3, from which the printing sleeves 7 must be removed.
  • the arithmetic and control unit 19 controls the lifting device 15 via the control line 18 such that initially a free support mandrel 14 of the transport device 13 is brought into a position which allows removal of a pressure sleeve 7 of the roller mandrel 8. After moving the pressure sleeve 7 of the roller mandrel 8 on a support mandrel 14 actuates the operator 9 a button, not shown.
  • the computing and control unit 19 now controls the lifting device 15, so that a support mandrel 14, on which there is a new pressure sleeve 7, assumes a change position. After moving this pressure sleeve 7, the operator 9 again actuates the button, not shown.
