Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for cutting register control in a web-fed rotary printing press and to a computer program for cutting register control.
  • DE 199 36 291 A1 describes a method for determining the cutting positions of partial webs of a longitudinally cut printing material web in a web-fed rotary printing press, in which the partial webs are brought together into strands, folded on a funnel and finally cross-cut by a knife cylinder.
  • the cut individual webs are referred to as partial webs and the sub-webs merged after the funnel as strands.
  • the determined cutting positions are used to control the cut register, with a separate control loop and additionally an external control loop for the already folded strand being provided for each partial web. This should make it possible to keep the cutting positions of all partial webs of the folded strand each at a desired value.
  • Such a control with cascade structure is complex and requires in particular the use of a large number of sensors for detecting the actual values of the cutting position on the individual partial webs and on the folded strand. This is not only costly, but with the number of sensors used also increases the probability of failure of the cut register control, as failures of automated systems are generally caused by sensor failures in the vast majority.
  • the cutting position after folding by conventional optical means can only be detected by means of a mark on the respective outer part of each strand.
  • a shift in the cutting position of the inner partial webs between the former and the knife cylinder is no longer measurable, which is why said cascade control of the cutting position of a strand based on the assumption that a post-folding occurs the cutting position in all partial webs of a folded strand has the same extent.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method for cutting register control in a web-fed rotary printing press, by which the cut register error, i. the deviation of the cutting position from a predetermined desired value, in the simplest possible, cost-effective and reliable manner can be minimized with high accuracy.
  • a first basic embodiment of the invention is based on the finding that in a web-fed rotary printing press the contribution of the turning unit and the folding unit to the cutting register error, ie to shift the cutting position relative to its desired position, can be predicted in relation to the contribution of the remaining units of the printing machine.
  • the contribution to the cutting register error arising in the units mentioned is approximately in a fixed relationship to the contributions arising in the other units of the printing press.
  • the position of a cut register mark can be measured for the last time just before the merger to the strand at the beginning of the folding unit.
  • the cutting position of a printing material web or partial web, to which the measured value is assigned is therefore predicted on the basis of a measured value of the position of a cut register mark, in order to approximate the behavior of a fictitious control loop, in which the isfinrert forms the control difference for each web would be detected directly on the knife cylinder.
  • a preferred procedure consists of correcting the control difference of a respective cutting register control loop resulting from said measured value by adding a control correction value in the respective control loop to the control difference between the measured actual value and a predetermined setpoint of the cutting position, which is multiplied by the difference from the uncorrected control difference and a correction term derived from the current set value of the cut register setting element is calculated with a fixed correction factor.
  • Such a correction is signal processing technology very easy to carry out and therefore compared to a cutting register control in which the position of a cut register mark is controlled before the strand formation without taking into account the subsequent influence of the folding unit on the cutting position, only with a very small additional cost of operations. In particular, it does not require additional sensors for measuring the position of a cut register mark on the outer web of an already folded strand.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the value of the correction factor depends on the ratio of the path length of the printing material web between the measuring location of the cut register mark and the location of the cross section to the path length of the printing material between the printing unit and the measuring location of the cut register mark, and preferably at least approximately corresponding to this ratio , Said path lengths are known as technical specification data for each printing press.
  • the subtraction of a correction term is used to ensure a stable behavior of the control loop despite the manipulation of the control difference.
  • the difference between the instantaneous setting value of the cut register setting element and a reference value is used as a correction term, an appropriate reference value being that setting value of the cut register setting element in which the control difference has reached the value zero for the first time after the last change of the predetermined setpoint value ,
  • This criterion for establishing the reference value can be evaluated automatically without any problem.
  • the operations for forming the correction term require only a small additional effort.
  • the printing unit in which the printing material is printed can be used by the speed of the impression cylinder is temporarily changed to adjust the cut register.
  • the method according to the invention is just as applicable to printing presses in which, for the cut register setting, setting elements of a different type are provided alone or in addition to the printing unit.
  • the invention In a printing machine, the invention generally makes it possible to compensate for an unmeasured contribution to the cut register error.
  • the cut register setting of a turning sub-web is corrected relative to that of the direct printing web originating from the same printing web on the basis of a mathematical model for the error contribution of the additional path of the turning sub-web in the turning unit. This eliminates the need for a separate measurement and control of the turning partial web, which means a considerable effort savings.
  • For the error contribution of the additional path of the turning sub-path is primarily a linear model into consideration.
  • the invention can also be used in a folding unit with several hopper levels.
  • the correction of the cut register setting of a printing material web depends on the funnel plane in which the printing material web enters the folding unit.
  • a second basic embodiment of the invention is based on the recognition that in a web-fed rotary printing press, knowing the exact cutting register error of a single printing substrate, it is possible to draw conclusions about the cutting register errors of the remaining webs from the paths of the various webs, i. that the measurement of the cutting register error of a single web predicts those of the remaining webs with a certain, in many cases sufficient, accuracy on the basis of a mathematical model.
  • the different path lengths of the individual webs as parameters, in the simplest case in the form of a linear relationship between the cut register error of the measured web and that of another, unmeasured web.
  • the particular advantage of the second basic embodiment of the invention is that it is very low effort and therefore cost feasible, since it requires only a single cutting mark sensor with associated signal processing electronics for the entire printing press, which compared to the cutting mark measurement on each track or sub-web an enormous Reduction in the scope of the sensors and the downstream signal processing electronics and thus an enormous cost savings means. It goes without saying that with the omission of a single measurement on each track, a potentially greater residual error is to be accepted. For applications with not too high accuracy requirements, the accuracy of the scheme may still be sufficient.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is based on the finding that at constant operating speed of a printing press the cutting position remains almost constant and therefore for a given speed with a static setting of the cut register, so theoretically without a cut register control, a sufficient accuracy of the cutting position can be achieved can.
  • a comparatively large dynamic cutting register error occurs during the course of the printing operation.
  • this dynamic cutting register error has a characteristic time profile for a given time course of the operating speed, which is well reproducible given otherwise constant operating parameters of the printing press.
  • a predetermined speed function describing a temporal variation of the operating speed of the printing machine proceeding from a predetermined initial value is assigned a cut register function which describes a temporal variation of another set value of the cut register.
  • the cutting register function is empirically selected such that it counteracts a change in the actual value of the cutting position as a result of the change in the operating speed.
  • the second set value is available to the cut register control for determining the first set value, so that already part of the determined control error can be compensated in advance. Consequently, according to this embodiment of the invention, only a residual error must be corrected by means of the first set value, as a result of which a faster cut register control is available.
  • the negative value of a function representing the time variation of the actual position of the cutting position from the value at the predetermined initial operating speed of the printing machine can be used as the cutting register function describes the case that a variation of the operation speed according to the predetermined speed function is performed while keeping the set value of the edit register constant.
  • Such a function can be determined by measurements, ie by changing the operating speed according to the speed function of interest for the actual operation and thereby measuring the actual value of the cutting position with constant cutting register setting by measurements, either manually on the basis of samples taken or sensorially by means of suitable marks on the printing material , For simplification, it can then be used as a cutting register function a mathematical approximation function be used for the metrologically determined course.
  • a real speed function typically starts from a phase of constant initial speed, followed successively by a constant rate increase rate, a constant speed over a variable length interval but a predetermined minimum length, and a constant rate drop rate.
  • a phase of constant final velocity generally completes the velocity function.
  • the associated cut register function has a constant first value during the constant initial phase of the speed function.
  • the constant phase of higher speed it reaches a constant second value.
  • the rising phase of the speed it has a curved course, which may contain a maximum that exceeds the constant second value in absolute value. This results from a characteristic overshoot of the cut register error observed with a linear increase in velocity in the case of a constant slice register setting.
  • the cut register function associated with the speed function described above which has a constant first value during the constant initial phase of the speed function, achieves a constant second value not only during the higher speed constant phase but also during the constant final phase of the speed, a constant third value. In the declining velocity phase between the constant second value and the constant third value, it then proceeds approximately linearly.
  • each of these adjusters may be assigned an individual cut register function to accommodate different effects of machine speed change different path guides and path lengths of the individual webs or the resulting by longitudinal section and folding partial webs and strands in the context of the possible compensate.
  • a printing press usually has a plurality of printing units, in each of which a printing material web is printed.
  • a printing material web is printed.
  • Fig. 1 only the printed in the printing unit 1 web 2 is shown after leaving the printing unit 1 for simplicity.
  • This web 2 is first cut longitudinally into two partial webs 3A and 3B like the webs coming from the other printing units.

  • the web 2 or the partial webs 3A, 3B and optionally additionally the strand 5 can be guided over rollers which can be displaced transversely to the transport direction, with the aid of which the printing unit 1 to to the knife cylinder 7 to be traversed path length can be selectively varied.
  • Another possibility is to adjust the angle of rotation of the printing cylinder of the printing unit 1 to at the same Path length of the printing unit 1 to the knife cylinder 7 to move the printed image relative to the cutting position.
  • the latter has the advantage that additional cutting register adjusting elements are not required for all partial webs, but only for the partial webs turned in the turning unit 4.

  • Such a measured position of a cutting register mark provides a measure of the actual value of the cutting position, i. represents the expected distance of the cut from the mark and can be used to control the cut register of the respective substrate web.
  • the path of the printing material web 2 or the part webs 3A, 3B cut therefrom from the printing unit 1 to the location of the cutting register measurement by the sensor 8 is marked as L1 in FIG.

  • FIG. 2 The procedure according to the invention for improving the cut-off register control on the basis of a current value detection before the folding unit according to FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 2 in the form of a control-technical signal flow diagram which shows a single control loop. In this case, such a control loop is provided for each partial track 3A, 3B.

  • the input signal of this transfer element G1 (p) is the set value RI of the edit register.
  • the printing substrate is subject to disturbances along the line segment L1, which lead to a dynamic shift in the cutting position, in particular when the operating speed of the printing press changes. These disturbances are taken into account in FIG. 2 by adding a disturbance Z1 to the output signal of the transmission element G1 (p).
  • the superimposition of the output signal of G1 (p) and Z1 gives the measured value M for the cutting position which the optical sensor 8 arranged between the turning unit and the folding unit supplies.

  • the input signal of this transmission element G2 (p) is said measured value M for the cutting position at the end of the path component L1.
  • the printing material web with the measured value M is subject to further disturbing influences along the path L2, which lead to a further dynamic displacement of the cutting position, in particular given a change in the operating speed of the printing press.
  • These further disturbances are taken into account in FIG. 2 by the addition of a further disturbance Z2 to the output signal of the transmission element G2 (p).
  • the result of this addition is the actual distance Y of the cut register mark from the cut on the knife cylinder 7.

  • the position of the cut register mark on the measured substrate part web 3 with respect to the rotational angle position of the knife cylinder 7 is meant by said desired value W.
  • the control correction value KW which according to FIG. 2 is added to the control difference D, is equal to zero in the conventional control circuit considered hitherto, ie. the branches of the signal flow diagram according to FIG. 2 serving to form the control correction value KW do not exist there.

  • the conventional control circuit described above merely aims to maintain a correspondence of the measured value M with the target value W, so that the error of the actual distance Y between the cut register mark and the cut on the knife cylinder 7 is substantially due to the disturbance contribution Z2 of the link portion L2 is determined.
  • the route length L2 is of the same order of magnitude as the route length L1, and this also applies to the respective interference contributions Z1 and Z2, so that the effectiveness of the regulation as a whole is in need of improvement altogether.

  • the set value RI of the cut register must change even if the set value W is changed. However, this does not represent a response of the control loop to disturbances Z1 and Z2, and therefore, after settling to a steady state following a change in W, the new value of RI is stored as reference value RB of the cut register setting for further control.

  • Phase C as proportion c1 of the total printing time C, the value S of the cutting register setting in the stationary region of the printing time C, the ratio b2 of the height of the maximum amount of the cutting register setting in the phase B to the value S, and the ratio d2 of the final value of the cutting register setting at the end of the Phase D to value S.
  • the printer determines by control measurements during the printing operation that the compensation effect in one or more phases is insufficient, ie that an impermissibly large cut register error occurs at the compensation curve 26 specified at the beginning of the printing operation, then it can use one or more of the parameters b1, c1, Change S, b2 and d2 by manual intervention.
  • This change acts directly on the current printing operation and is stored for the next run of the printing press as a new waveform of the compensation curve 11.
  • the shape of the compensation curve 11 can, if necessary, track slow changes over time in the behavior of the printing press, ie a long-term drift of the dynamic cut register error.
  • the duration of the setup phase A and the duration of the final phase E are arbitrary, because the compensation begins only with the entry into the phase B and after the end of the phase D, the cut register setting d2xS reached there is no longer changed.
  • the method according to the invention can also be used if a printing machine is to be operated optionally with different rates of increase and decrease of the speed and / or with different speeds of production.
  • an associated compensation function 26 for each possible speed curve 23, an associated compensation function 26 must be stored or the existing one spread differently.
