Definitions

  • the invention relates to a trained as an inking unit or coating unit exchange unit for the assignment to a printing unit of a printing press.
  • EP 0 949 076 A1 discloses a dyeing or dampening unit which can be assigned to a rotary printing press by means of a horizontal carriage system.
  • the inking or dampening unit has a profiled holding rail, which can be inserted horizontally into the printing unit of the printing machine between two rows of rolls transversely to the direction of printing.
  • the inking or dampening unit In the retracted position, the inking or dampening unit is pivoted about an axis to make a cylinder contact and bring a gear of the inking or dampening unit with a drive gear of the printing press in meshing engagement.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a designed as an inking unit or coating unit exchange unit for easy and secure assignment to a printing unit of a printing press.
  • a change unit of the type mentioned above in that it is provided with a roller formed in particular as a raster or ductor roller and associated therewith receptacle for paint or varnish, wherein the roller bearing journals, which for a storage of the Roller has coupling elements which are detachably coupled with mounted on the base frame of the printing press mating coupling elements and to which on the other about the exchange unit associated bearing is held the recording.
  • the journals of the roller perform a dual function in that on the one hand cause the bearing of the roller in the printing press associated bearings, ie, the journals are with their coupling elements with corresponding Counter coupling elements of the printing machine coupled, whereby a precise storage of the roller is realized in the base frame of the printing press.
  • the drive of the roller, in particular raster or ductor roller, and optionally further contained in the exchange unit rollers is also brought about simultaneously by means of this coupling.
  • the recording may be formed, for example, as a color box. This is possible because the recording by means of exchangeable units associated bearings is mounted on the bearing journal of the roller so that the roller can rotate relative to the recording, the recording occupies a fixed position, but position fixation on the bearings on the bearing pin of the roller is held.
  • At least one support element may be present on the printing press, on which the exchange unit is supported, so that it is fixed by means of the counter-coupling elements and the coupling elements to the bearing journal of the roller and on the other hand supported on the support element. Consequently, the change unit can be assigned to the printing unit of the printing press as a uniform component as needed or removed from the printing unit of the printing press. This is done in each case as a complete unit with roller and associated recording. This is particularly advantageous if a color change is to take place or a cleaning of the exchange unit is required in a color or paint change, since this cleaning then does not have to be done in the printing press. Rather, the exchange unit can be exchanged for another exchange unit, which has the desired color or the desired paint. In this way, it is also possible to provide exchangeably constructed exchange units available for exchange, for example, with differently designed receptacles and / or differently shaped rollers, such as with an anilox roller or a ductor roller.

  • the bearing journals project beyond the change unit frame, in particular the side plates, outwards with their coupling elements.
  • the connection is made by the printing press, ie, the coupling elements of the journals are connected to counter-coupling elements of the printing press, wherein the counter-coupling elements are rotatably mounted on the base frame of the printing press and preferably at least one counter-coupling element is driven by the drive of the printing press to to be able to drive the exchange unit.
  • the side panels of the exchange unit frame are due to the above between the side walls of the base frame of the printing press, ie, the side walls and the side plates each parallel to each other, between the side walls, the side plates are arranged and lie between the side plates of the roller body of the roller and the receptacle ,
  • the "coupling elements” and / or “counter-coupling elements” may be understood to mean special configurations or only corresponding bearing surfaces or the like.
  • the bearings assigned to the exchange unit are fastened to the side plates.
  • the receptacle has a paint or paint box, a metering device for the paint or the paint and / or an open or closed doctor blade.
  • a closed squeegee for example, a chamber doctor blade can be provided, which serves to receive paint or paint and which cooperates with the roller formed as a preferably anilox roller.
