Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Transfer bildgebender Schichten von einer Trägerfolie auf Druckbogen nach dem Oberbegriff der Patentansprüche 1 und 7.The invention relates to a method and a device for transferring imaging layers from a carrier film to printed sheets according to the preamble of patent claims 1 and 7.

Es ist bekannt metallische Schichten auf Druckbogen mittels eines Folientransferverfahrens herzustellen. So ist in der EP 0 569 520 B1 ein Druckmaterial und eine Druckvorrichtung, die dieses Material verwendet, beschrieben. Dabei ist eine Bogen verarbeitende Maschine gezeigt, die einen Anleger und einen Ausleger aufweist, wobei zwischen beiden Aggregaten Druckwerke und ein Beschichtungswerk angeordnet sind. In wenigstens einem der Druckwerke wird ein Klebstoffmuster mittels des Flachdruckverfahrens aufgetragen. Dieses Klebstoffmuster ist in einem kalten Druckverfahren aufgebracht und weist ein bestimmtes bildgebendes Sujet auf. In dem dem Druckwerk folgenden Beschichtungswerk mit einem Gegendruckzylinder und einer Presswalze ist eine Folienführung vorgesehen. Diese ist in der Art konzipiert, dass von einer Folienvorratsrolle ein Folienstreifen bzw. eine Transferfolie durch den Transferspalt des Beschichtungswerkes zwischen dem Gegendruckzylinder und der Presswalze geführt wird. Der Folienstreifen wird auf der Auslaufseite nach dem Verlassen des Beschichtungswerkes wieder aufgewickelt. Die Transferfolie weist eine Trägerschicht auf, auf der bildgebende Schichten wie metallische Schichten, beispielsweise aus Aluminium, aufgebracht sein können. Zwischen der metallischen Schicht und der Trägerfolie ist eine Trennschicht vorgesehen, die dafür sorgt, dass die metallische Schicht von der Trägerschicht abziehbar ist.It is known to produce metallic layers on printed sheets by means of a film transfer process. So is in the EP 0 569 520 B1 a printing material and a printing apparatus using this material are described. In this case, a sheet-processing machine is shown, which has a feeder and a boom, between two units printing units and a coating unit are arranged. In at least one of the printing units, an adhesive pattern is applied by means of the planographic printing process. This adhesive pattern is applied in a cold printing process and has a specific imaging subject. In the printing unit following the coating unit with a counter-pressure cylinder and a press roller a film guide is provided. This is designed in such a way that a film strip or a transfer film is passed through the transfer nip of the coating unit between the impression cylinder and the press roll from a film supply roll. The foil strip is rewound on the outlet side after leaving the coating unit. The transfer film has a carrier layer on which imaging layers such as metallic layers, for example of aluminum, can be applied. Between the metallic layer and the carrier film, a separating layer is provided, which ensures that the metallic layer can be removed from the carrier layer.

Beim Transport von Druckbogen durch das Druckwerk wird jeder Druckbogen mit einem Klebstoffmuster versehen. Danach wird der Druckbogen durch das Beschichtungswerk geführt, wobei mittels der Presswalze der auf dem Gegendruckzylinder aufliegende Druckbogen mit dem Folienmaterial in Verbindung gebracht wird. Dabei geht die nach unten liegende metallische Schicht eine enge Verbindung mit den mit Klebstoff versehenen Bereichen auf dem Druckbogen ein. Nach dem Weitertransportieren des Druckbogens haftet die metallische Schicht lediglich im Bereich der mit Klebstoff versehenen Muster an. Der Trägerfolie wird also die metallische Schicht im Bereich der Klebstoffmuster entnommen. Die auf diese Weise verbrauchte Transferfolie wird wieder aufgewickelt. Der Druckbogen wird im beschichteten Zustand ausgelegt.
Es ist bekannt derartige Beschichtungswerke beispielsweise in Druckwerken von Druckmaschinen einzusetzen. Nachteilig an den bekannten Vorrichtungen ist, dass sie nicht flexibel einsetzbar sind und dass der Verbrauch an Transferfolie aufwändig ist.
When printing sheets are transported through the printing unit, each sheet is given an adhesive pattern. Thereafter, the sheet is passed through the coating unit, being brought by means of the press roller on the impression cylinder resting sheet with the film material in combination. In this case, the downwardly lying metallic layer enters into a close connection with the areas provided with adhesive on the printed sheet. After further transporting the printing sheet, the metallic layer adheres only in the area provided with the adhesive pattern. The carrier film is thus removed from the metallic layer in the region of the adhesive pattern. The used in this way transfer film is wound up again. The print sheet is laid out in the coated state.
It is known to use such coating units, for example in printing units of printing presses. A disadvantage of the known devices is that they are not flexible and that the consumption of transfer film is expensive.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher eine Vorrichtung vorzusehen mittels derer der Übertrag einer bildgebenden Schicht z.B. einer Metallisierungsschicht sicher, wirtschaftlich und exakt erfolgen kann, wobei die Vorrichtung einfach handhabbar sein soll.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a device by means of which the transfer of an imaging layer, e.g. a metallization can be done safely, economically and accurately, the device should be easy to handle.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich in Vorrichtungen gemäß den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1, sowie in einem Verfahren gemäß den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 7.The solution to this problem arises in devices according to the features of claim 1, as well as in a method according to the features of claim 7.

Vorteilhafter Weise wird zur Führung der Transferfolie ein Taktungsverfahren verwendet, bei dem die Transferfolie während eines Taktungsschrittes mit pneumatischen Mitteln von der Presswalze getrennt wird.Advantageously, a timing method is used to guide the transfer film, wherein the transfer sheet is separated during a clocking step by pneumatic means of the press roll.

Zur Sicherung der Wirtschaftlichkeit des Beschichtungsverfahrens kann vorgesehen sein, den Folienvorschub derart zu steuern, dass die Transferfolie dann angehalten wird, wenn keine Übertragung der bildgebenden bzw. Metallisierungsschicht erfolgt.To ensure the efficiency of the coating process can be provided to control the film feed such that the transfer film is then stopped when no transmission of the imaging or metallization takes place.

In vorteilhafter Weise kann eine Steuerung der Transferfolie derart erfolgen, dass beim Durchlaufen eines die Greifer des bogenführenden Gegendruckzylinders aufnehmenden Zylinderkanales der Folienvorschub angehalten wird, wobei die Presswalze dann unter der Transferfolie gleitend durchläuft.Advantageously, a control of the transfer film can be carried out such that, when passing through a cylinder channel receiving the grippers of the sheet-guiding impression cylinder, the film feed is stopped, wherein the press roll then passes in a sliding manner under the transfer film.

Weiterhin kann der Folientransport angehalten werden, wenn Hilfsfunktionen wie Wasch- oder Einrichtvorgänge an der Druckmaschine durchzuführen sind.Furthermore, the film transport can be stopped when auxiliary functions such as washing or setting operations are carried out on the press.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung kann als Oberfläche der Presswalze eine erhöhte, im Umriss konturierte Pressfläche vorgesehen sein, die auf den zu beschichtenden Bereich begrenzt ist. Dafür ist ein ausgeschnittenes Drucktuch, eine Kunststoffdruckform oder ein aufklebbares Andrucksegment geeignet. Dadurch kann der Vorschub der Transferfolie in sehr vorteilhafter Weise auch dann angehalten werden, wenn der zu beschichtende Bereich innerhalb des Bildbereiches des Druckbogens liegt.In a further embodiment, the surface of the press roll may be provided with an elevated pressing surface contoured in outline, which is limited to the area to be coated. For this, a cut-out blanket, a plastic printing form or a stick-on press-on segment is suitable. As a result, the feed of the transfer film can be stopped in a very advantageous manner, even if the area to be coated is within the image area of the printed sheet.

Eine weitere Verbesserung der Folienausnutzung ergibt sich dadurch, dass die Transferfolie in eine oder mehrere Teilfolienbahnen geringerer Breite aufgeteilt wird. In Kombination mit dem vorgenannten Verfahren können so auch unterschiedliche Folienarten nebeneinander eingesetzt werden.A further improvement of the film utilization results from the fact that the transfer film is divided into one or more Teilfolienbahnen smaller width. In combination with the above-mentioned method, it is thus also possible to use different types of film side by side.

Innerhalb der das Beschichtungswerk aufnehmenden Bogen verarbeitenden Maschine kann das Beschichtungswerk in vorteilhafter Weise an beliebigen Stellen der Maschine platziert werden. Damit wird für den Fall einer Druckmaschine mit mehreren Druckwerken ermöglicht, dass bildgebenden Beschichtungen bzw. Metallisierungsschichten sowohl vor, als auch nach als auch zwischen dem Aufbringen von Druckfarbschichten aufbringbar sind.Within the sheet-processing machine receiving the coating unit, the coating unit can advantageously be placed anywhere on the machine. In this way, in the case of a printing press having a plurality of printing units, it is possible for imaging coatings or metallization layers to be applied both before, as well as after and also between the application of printing ink layers.

Vorteilhafterweise ist es auch möglich, mehrere Beschichtungswerke innerhalb einer Bogen verarbeitenden Maschine hintereinander vorzusehen. Damit kann die Aufbringung verschiedener bildgebenden Beschichtungen bzw. Metallisierungsschichten innerhalb eines Sujets nacheinander erfolgen.Advantageously, it is also possible to provide several coating units behind one another within a sheet-processing machine. Thus, the application of different imaging coatings or metallization layers within a subject can take place one after the other.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Figuren näher dargestellt.In the following the invention is illustrated in more detail with reference to figures.

In Figur 1 ist eine Bogen verarbeitende Maschine, hier eine Druckmaschine, gezeigt, die aus wenigstens zwei Druckwerken besteht. Die beiden Druckwerke werden für folgende Zwecke eingesetzt:

  • Ein Druckbogen wird zunächst mit einem bildgebenden Klebstoffmuster versehen (Auftragwerk 1).
  • Danach wird im Folgedruckwerk gemeinsam mit einem Druckbogen eine Transferfolie 5 durch einen Transferspalt 6 geführt, wobei die Transferfolie 5 im Transferspalt 6 gegen den Druckbogen gepresst wird (Beschichtungswerk 2).
    Der Transferspalt 6 im Beschichtungswerk 2 wird durch eine Presswalze 3 und einen Gegendruckzylinder 4 gebildet. Diese können dem Drucktuchzylinder und dem Gegendruckzylinder eines Offsetdruckwerkes entsprechen.
    Weiterhin kann nachgeschaltet ein so genanntes Kalandrierwerk vorgesehen werden. Innerhalb des für den Folientransfer genutzten Beschichtungswerkes 2 ist eine Bahnführung für Transferfolien dargestellt.
    Die Transferfolien 5 sind mehrschichtig aufgebaut. Sie weisen eine Trägerschicht auf, auf der mittels einer Trennschicht eine bildgebende Schicht aufgebracht ist. Die Trennschicht dient dem erleichterten Abheben der bildgebenden Schicht von der Trägerschicht. Die bildgebende Schicht kann z.B. eine metallisierte Schicht oder eine Glanzschicht oder eine Texturschicht oder eine eingefärbte Schicht oder eine ein oder mehrere Bildmuster enthaltende Schicht sein.
    Die Folienvorratsrolle 8 ist dem Beschichtungswerk 2 auf der Seite der Bogenzuführung zugeordnet. Die Folienvorratsrolle 8 weist einen Drehantrieb 7 auf.
    Der Drehantrieb 7 wird zur kontinuierlichen geregelten Zuführung der Transferfolie zum Beschichtungs werk 2 benötigt und ist daher steuerbar. Weiterhin ist im Bereich der Folienzuführung eine Umlenk- bzw. Spannwalze vorgesehen. Damit wird die Folienbahn der Transferfolie immer in gleicher Spannung gegenüber der Presswalze 3 gehalten. Auf der ablaufseitigen Seite des Druckwerkes ist eine Foliensammelrolle 9 dargestellt. Auf der Foliensammelrolle 9 wird das verbrauchte Folienmaterial wieder aufgewickelt. Auch hier ist für die optimierte Produktion ein Drehantrieb 7 vorzusehen, der steuerbar ist. Im Wesentlichen könnte die Transferfolie 5 auch durch den Drehantrieb 7 auf der Ablaufseite bewegt und auf der Zulaufseite mittels einer Bremse straff gehalten werden.
    Der Transfervorgang der bildgebenden z.B. metallisierten Schicht auf das Druckpapier erfolgt in dem Transferspalt 6 zwischen der Presswalze 3 und dem Gegendruckzylinder. Die Presswalze 3 kann ein Drucktuchzylinder eines Offsetdruckwerkes sein.
    Die Presswalze 3 kann auch der Formzylinder eines Lackmodules sein. Wesentlich ist, dass die Oberfläche der Presswalze 3 also des Drucktuchzylinders bzw. Formzylinders mittels eines kompressiblen, dämpfenden Elementes ausgerüstet ist.
In FIG. 1 is a sheet-processing machine, here a printing press, shown, which consists of at least two printing units. The two printing units are used for the following purposes:
  • A printed sheet is first provided with an imaging adhesive pattern (applicator 1).
  • Thereafter, a transfer sheet 5 is passed through a transfer nip 6 in the following printing unit together with a printing sheet, wherein the transfer sheet 5 is pressed in the transfer nip 6 against the sheet (coating unit 2).
    The transfer nip 6 in the coating unit 2 is formed by a press roll 3 and an impression cylinder 4. These may correspond to the blanket cylinder and the impression cylinder of an offset printing unit.
    Furthermore, downstream of a so-called calendering be provided. Within the used for the film transfer coating 2 a web guide for transfer films is shown.
    The transfer films 5 have a multilayer structure. They have a carrier layer on which an imaging layer is applied by means of a release layer. The separating layer serves to facilitate lifting of the imaging layer from the carrier layer. The image-forming layer may be, for example, a metallized layer or a glossy layer or a texture layer or a colored layer or a layer containing one or more image patterns.
    The film supply roll 8 is assigned to the coating unit 2 on the sheet feed side. The film supply roll 8 has a rotary drive 7.
    The rotary drive 7 is required for continuous controlled feeding of the transfer film to the coating factory 2 and is therefore controllable. Furthermore, a deflecting or tensioning roller is provided in the region of the film feed. Thus, the film web of the transfer film is always held in the same voltage against the press roller 3. On the downstream side of the printing unit, a film collection roller 9 is shown. On the film collecting roll 9, the used film material is wound up again. Again, a rotary drive 7 is provided for the optimized production, which is controllable. In essence, the transfer film 5 could also be moved by the rotary drive 7 on the discharge side and kept taut on the inlet side by means of a brake.
    The transfer process of the imaging eg metallized layer on the printing paper takes place in the transfer nip 6 between the press roller 3 and the impression cylinder. The press roll 3 may be a blanket cylinder of an offset printing unit.
    The press roll 3 can also be the forme cylinder of a paint module. It is essential that the surface of the press roll 3 so the blanket cylinder or forme cylinder is equipped by means of a compressible, damping element.

Die Presswalze 3 kann mit einer Pressbespannung beispielsweise als Kunststoffüberzug, vergleichbar einem Gummituch bzw. Drucktuch, versehen sein. Die Pressbespannung 10 wird in einem Zylinderkanal 11 an Spannvorrichtungen gehalten, wie in Figur 4 dargestellt ist. Hier ist die Presswalze 3 als Gummizylinder 13 ausgebildet.The press roll 3 can be provided with a press fabric, for example as a plastic coating, comparable to a blanket or blanket. The press fabric 10 is held in a cylinder channel 11 to tensioning devices, as in FIG. 4 is shown. Here, the press roller 3 is formed as a rubber cylinder 13.

Die Pressbespannung 10 ist zur Verbesserung der Übertragungseigenschaften im Transferspalt 6 mit einer gezielten Elastizität ausgestattet. Diese kann gegebenenfalls in einer kompressiblen Zwischenschicht wirken. Diese Kompressibilität ist vorzugsweise ähnlich oder geringer als in konventionellen Gummitüchern bzw. Drucktüchern, die an dieser Stelle auch eingesetzt werden können.
Die genannte Kompressibilität kann mittels eines konventionellen kompressiblen Drucktuches hergestellt werden. Weiterhin sind kombinierte Bespannungen aus einem harten Drucktuch und einer weichen Unterlage einsetzbar.
The press fabric 10 is equipped to improve the transmission properties in the transfer nip 6 with a targeted elasticity. This may optionally act in a compressible intermediate layer. This compressibility is preferably similar or less than in conventional blankets or blankets, which can also be used at this point.
The mentioned compressibility can be produced by means of a conventional compressible printing blanket. Furthermore, combined fabrics made of a hard blanket and a soft pad can be used.

Weiterhin kann direkt auf der Presswalze 3 oder auf der Pressbespannung 10 eine begrenzte Pressfläche vorgesehen sein. Diese kann aus der Oberfläche der Pressbespannung 10 herausgearbeitet sein oder sie kann als Teilfläche aus dem Material der Pressbespannung 10 zusätzlich auf der Presswalze 3 befestigt sein.Furthermore, a limited pressing surface can be provided directly on the press roll 3 or on the press fabric 10. This can be worked out of the surface of the press fabric 10 or it can be additionally attached as a partial surface of the material of the press fabric 10 on the press roller 3.

Zur Sicherung der Wirtschaftlichkeit des Beschichtungsverfahrens ist vorgesehen, dass der Folienvorschub der Transferfolie von der Folienvorratsrolle 8 zum Transferspalt 6 und zur Foliensammelrolle 9 derart steuerbar ist, dass so weit als möglich die Transferfolie 5 dann angehalten wird, wenn keine Übertragung der bildgebenden Schicht erfolgen soll:

  • Hierzu kann eine Steuerung der Transferfolie 5 derart erfolgen, dass beim Durchlaufen eines Greifer des bogenführenden Gegendruckzylinders 4 aufnehmenden Zylinderkanales der Folienvorschub angehalten wird. Die Greifer halten den Druckbogen auf dem Gegendruckzylinder 4. Auch die Presswalze 3 weist einen Zylinderkanal 11 auf. Im Bereich des Zylinderkanals erfolgt keine Pressung der Transferfolie 5 zwischen der Presswalze 3 (Drucktuchzylinder) und dem Gegendruckzylinder 4, da beide Zylinder diesen Zylinderkanal 11 aufweisen. Die Presswalze 3 läuft dann unter der Transferfolie 5 gleitend durch, während die Transferfolie 5 zwischen Presswalze 3 und Gegendruckzylinder 4 frei gespannt ist. Dieser Zustand dauert an bis am so genannten Druckanfang der Zylinderkanal 11 endet und die Transferfolie 5 erneut zwischen der Presswalze 3 und dem Gegendruckzylinder 4 unter Einschluss eines Druckbogens eingeklemmt wird. Dann wird die Transferfolie 5 weiter transportiert. Die Taktung des Folienvorschubes kann entsprechend einer notwendigen Beschleunigung bzw. Bremsung der Folienvorratsrolle 8 bzw. Foliensammelrolle 9 etwas früher beginnen bzw. aussetzen als dies die Kanalkanten des Zylinderkanals 11 vorgeben. Bei reaktionsschnellen Taktungssystemen über so genannte Tänzerwalzen 18, wie sie beispielhaft in Figur 1 eingezeichnet sind, ist die Steuerung der Drehantriebe 7 der Folienvorratsrollen 8 bzw. Foliensammelrolle 9 ggf. nicht erforderlich.
  • Die zugehörige Vorrichtung beinhaltet aber grundsätzlich eine entsprechende Vorschubsteuerung für die Transferfolie 5, die dafür sorgt, dass wenigstens das zwischen der Presswalze 3 und dem Gegendruckzylinder 4 liegende Folienstück stillsteht, solange der Zylinderkanal 11 durchläuft.
  • In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung kann als Oberfläche der Presswalze 3 eine konturierte Pressfläche vorgesehen sein. Dazu wird anstatt einer ganzflächigen Kunststoffschicht eine auf den zu beschichtenden Bereich begrenzte Pressfläche auf der Presswalze 3 eingesetzt. Hierfür kann etwa ein ausgeschnittenes Drucktuch, eine bebilderbare Kunststoffdruckform oder ein auf einer glatten Unterlage vorzugsweise lösbar zu befestigendes, ggf. aufklebbares oder magnetisch anbringbares, Andrucksegment die begrenzte Pressfläche tragend verwendet werden.
  • Die Funktion dieser begrenzten Pressfläche ist, dass wie beim Durchlauf des Zylinderkanals 11 die Einklemmung der Transferfolie 5 nur dann gegeben ist, wenn die Pressfläche die Transferfolie 5 berührend den Transferspalt 6 durchläuft.
To ensure the economic efficiency of the coating process, it is provided that the film advance of the transfer film from the film supply roll 8 to the transfer nip 6 and the film collection roll 9 is controllable such that the transfer film 5 is stopped as far as possible if no transfer of the image-forming layer is to occur:
  • For this purpose, a control of the transfer film 5 can be made such that the film feed is stopped when passing through a gripper of the sheet-guiding counter-pressure cylinder 4 receiving cylinder channel. The grippers hold the printed sheet on the impression cylinder 4. The press roll 3 has a cylinder channel 11. In the region of the cylinder channel, there is no pressing of the transfer film 5 between the press roller 3 (blanket cylinder) and the impression cylinder 4, since both cylinders have this cylinder channel 11. The press roll 3 then slidably passes under the transfer sheet 5, while the transfer sheet 5 passes between the press roll 3 and impression cylinder 4 is tensioned freely. This state continues until at the so-called pressure beginning of the cylinder channel 11 ends and the transfer sheet 5 is again clamped between the press roller 3 and the impression cylinder 4, including a sheet. Then, the transfer sheet 5 is further transported. The timing of the film feed can begin or suspend a little earlier than predetermine the channel edges of the cylinder channel 11 corresponding to a necessary acceleration or braking of the film supply roll 8 or film collecting 9. In reaction-fast timing systems via so-called dancer rollers 18, as exemplified in FIG. 1 are shown, the control of the rotary actuators 7 of the film supply rolls 8 and film collecting roll 9 may not be necessary.
  • However, the associated device fundamentally includes a corresponding feed control for the transfer film 5, which ensures that at least the foil piece lying between the press roll 3 and the impression cylinder 4 is stationary as long as the cylinder channel 11 passes through.
  • In a further embodiment, a contoured pressing surface can be provided as the surface of the press roll 3. For this purpose, instead of an all-over plastic layer, a pressing surface limited to the area to be coated is used on the press roller 3. For this purpose, for example, a cut-out printing blanket, an imageable plastic printing form or a pressure pad which can preferably be releasably fastened to a smooth base, possibly stickable or magnetically attachable, can be used to support the limited pressing surface.
  • The function of this limited pressing surface is that as in the passage of the cylinder channel 11, the entrapment of the transfer film 5 is only given when the pressing surface, the transfer film 5 touching the transfer nip 6 passes.

Eine weitere Verbesserung der Folienausnutzung der beschriebenen Art ergibt sich dadurch, dass die Transferfolie 5 in eine oder mehrere Teilfolienbahnen geringerer Breite aufgeteilt wird. Damit kann bei entsprechender Steuerung mit Hilfe der Einrichtung bzw. Einrichtungen zur Taktung des Folienvorschubes jeder der Teilfolienbahnen, die Ausnutzung der Transferfolie 5 auch bei zonal unterschiedlich langen Beschichtungsbereichen innerhalb eines Bogens verbessert werden. Dazu wird jede Teilfolienbahn nur genau in dem Bereich weitergefördert, wo die bildgebende Oberflächenschicht aufzutragen ist. In den nicht zu beschichtenden Bereichen kann jede Teilfolienbahn unabhängig von den anderen Teilfolienbahnen stillgesetzt werden, wobei damit kein unnötiger Folienverbrauch entsteht.A further improvement of the film utilization of the type described results from the fact that the transfer film 5 is divided into one or more Teilfolienbahnen lesser width. Thus, with appropriate control by means of the device or devices for timing the film feed each of the sub-film webs, the utilization of the transfer film 5 can be improved even in zonally different lengths coating areas within an arc. For this purpose, each partial film web is conveyed only exactly in the area where the imaging surface layer is to be applied. In the areas not to be coated, each partial film web can be stopped independently of the other partial film webs, whereby no unnecessary film consumption arises.

Zur Verbesserung des Beschichtungsverfahrens ist vorgesehen, die Folie in Bereichen wo keine Schichtabnahme erfolgt zum Stillstehen zu bringen, derart, dass die Presswalze 3 leer unter der Folienbahn 5 durchläuft. Dies kann beispielsweise dann erfolgen, wenn der sogenannte Zylinderkanal durchläuft oder wenn bei einer Verwendung eines Press-Segmentes ein nicht pressender Bereich durchläuft. Zur Stillsetzung der Folie ist es notwendig die Folie gegenüber der Oberfläche des Drucktuchzylinders 4 bzw. der Presswalze 5 zu lösen.In order to improve the coating process, it is provided to bring the film to a standstill in areas where there is no stripping, such that the press roll 3 passes empty under the film web 5. This can take place, for example, when the so-called cylinder channel passes through or when a non-pressing region passes through when using a press segment. To stop the film, it is necessary to release the film from the surface of the blanket cylinder 4 or the press roller 5.

Eine entsprechende Vorrichtung ist in Figur 2 dargestellt. Hierzu ist in dem Beschichtungswerk 2 eine Anordnung von Blaseinrichtungen vorgesehen. Jeweils am Einlauf der Folienbahn 5, ggf. vor einer Umlenkwalze, und am Auslauf der Folienbahn 5, ggf. nach einer weiteren Umlenkwalze, ist eine Blasluftleiste 17 vorgesehen. Beim Stillsetzen der Folienbahn 5 wird zunächst ein Druckluftstoß an beiden. Blasluftleisten 17 in den Spalt des Einlaufes bzw. Auslaufes der Folienbahn 5 gegenüber der Presswalze 3 eingebracht. Der Druckluftstoß führt dazu, dass sich eine - ggf. dünne - Luftschicht zwischen der Folienbahn 5 und der Oberfläche der Presswalze 3 bildet. Dadurch kann die Folienbahn 5 auf der Presswalze 5 durchrutschen bzw. schweben. So kann die Presswalze 3 ohne Gefahr einer Beschädigung der Folienbahn 5 weiterhin rotieren, während die Folienbahn 5 stillsteht.A corresponding device is in FIG. 2 shown. For this purpose, an arrangement of blowing devices is provided in the coating unit 2. In each case at the inlet of the film web 5, possibly in front of a deflection roller, and at the outlet of the film web 5, possibly after a further deflection roller, a Blasluftleiste 17 is provided. When stopping the film web 5 is first a blast of air at both. Blasluftleisten 17 introduced into the gap of the inlet or outlet of the film web 5 relative to the press roller 3. The compressed air surge causes a - possibly thin - air layer between the film web 5 and the surface of the press roll 3 forms. As a result, the film web 5 can slip or float on the press roller 5. Thus, the press roller 3 can continue to rotate without the risk of damaging the film web 5 while the film web 5 is stationary.

In der Anordnung des Beschichtungswerkes 2 ist dargestellt, dass so genannte Tänzerwalzen 18 vorgesehen sind. Tänzerwalzen 18 können im Bereich der Folienvorratsrolle 8 und/oder der Foliensammelrolle 9 eingesetzt werden. Sie ermöglichen neben einer Bahnspannungsregelung, dass die Folienbahn 5 von der Folienvorratsrolle 8 kontinuierlich weiter abgewickelt werden kann, während sie an der Beschichtungsstelle stillsteht. Damit kann beim Weitertransport der Folienbahn 5 sehr schnell das benötigte Folienmaterial wieder zugeführt werden.In the arrangement of the coating unit 2 it is shown that so-called dancer rollers 18 are provided. Dancer rolls 18 can be used in the region of the film supply roll 8 and / or the film collection roll 9. They allow, in addition to a web tension control, that the film web 5 can be continuously unwound from the film supply roll 8 while it is stationary at the coating location. Thus, the film material required for the further transport of the film web 5 can be fed back very quickly.

In einer vereinfachten Form der Beschichtungseinrichtung gemäß Figur 3 wird die Folienbahn 5 über eine zusätzliche Andruckwalze 14 auf den Druckzylinder 4 angedrückt, wobei die Andruckstelle als Transferspalt 6' dem Beschichtungsspalt für den Kleber zwischen einem Drucktuchzylinder 13 und dem Druckzylinder 4 nachgeordnet ist. Die Andruckwalze 14 ist mittels an sich bekannter Einrichtungen gegenüber dem Gegendruckzylinder 4 an- und abstellbar.In a simplified form of the coating device according to FIG. 3 the film web 5 is pressed onto the printing cylinder 4 via an additional pressure roller 14, wherein the pressure point as the transfer nip 6 'is arranged downstream of the coating gap for the adhesive between a blanket cylinder 13 and the printing cylinder 4. The pressure roller 14 is switched on and off by means known per se with respect to the impression cylinder 4.

Die Darstellung nach Figur 3 zeigt auch eine integrierte Ausführungsform eines Folienauftragwerkes, wobei Auftragwerk 1 und Beschichtungswerk 2 innerhalb eines einzigen Druckwerkes angeordnet sind. Das Auftragwerk 1 wird hier durch das vorhandene Druckwerk gebildet, während das Beschichtungswerk 2 durch die Zuordnung der Andruckwalze 14 zum Gegendruckzylinder 4 des Druckwerkes gebildet wird.The representation after FIG. 3 also shows an integrated embodiment of a film applicator, wherein applicator 1 and coating unit 2 are arranged within a single printing unit. The applicator 1 is formed here by the existing printing unit, while the coating unit 2 is formed by the assignment of the pressure roller 14 to the impression cylinder 4 of the printing unit.

Die derart ausgebildete Andruckwalze 14 kann auf einfache Weise mittels ihrer Einrichtungen zum An- und Abstellen während der Zeit eines durchlaufenden Zylinderkanales oder im Bereich von nicht zu beschichteten Teilen des Druckbogens vom Druckzylinder 4 abgehoben werden. Gleichzeitig kann die Folienbahn 5 wie weiter vorne beschrieben für diesen Fall bereits stillgesetzt werden. In diesem Fall ist eine Belüftung der Folienbahn 5 an der Andruckwalze 14 nicht erforderlich.The thus formed pressure roller 14 can be lifted in a simple manner by means of their means for turning on and off during the time of a continuous cylinder channel or in the range of uncoated parts of the sheet from the printing cylinder 4. At the same time, the film web 5 as already described above for this case already be stopped. In this case, a ventilation of the film web 5 on the pressure roller 14 is not required.

Der Folienverbrauch wird insbesondere dann minimiert, wenn Hilfsfunktionen an der Druckmaschine, z.B. eine Waschfunktion, ausgeführt werden müssen. Dies kann beim Gummituchwaschen oder beim Farbwerkwaschen der Fall sein.Foil consumption is minimized especially when auxiliary functions on the printing machine, e.g. a washing function, must be performed. This can be the case with blanket washing or inking unit washing.

Hierzu kann nach folgenden Schritten vorgegangen werden:

  1. 1. Die Foliensammelrolle 9 und die Folienvorratsrolle 8 werden über den jeweiligen Rollenantrieb 7 mittels einer Lageregelung in Stillstand gebracht. Es erfolgt keine Folienaufrollung oder-abrollung.
  2. 2. Die Tänzerwalzen 18 werden festgesetzt, d.h. es erfolgt keine Bahnspannungsregelung.
  3. 3. Die Folienvorratsrolle 8 oder die Foliensammelrolle 9 wird über die Lageregelung freigeschaltet, um einen bestimmten Bereich der Folienbahn z.B. von 10 mm freizugeben. Der entsprechende Rollenantrieb 7 wird wieder festgesetzt.
    Damit wird die Folienbahn um die Presswalze 3 bzw. den Drucktuchzylinder herum frei und kann auf dessen Oberfläche schweben.
  4. 4. Zeitgleich wird Luft über die beiden Blasstangen am Folienein- und -auslauf zum Drucktuchzylinder bzw. zur Presswalze eingeblasen und die Bahn wird zum Schweben gebracht.
To do this, proceed as follows:
  1. 1. The film collecting roller 9 and the film supply roll 8 are brought to rest via the respective roller drive 7 by means of a position control. There is no Folienaufrollung or unwinding.
  2. 2. The dancer rollers 18 are fixed, ie there is no web tension control.
  3. 3. The film supply roll 8 or the film collecting roller 9 is released via the position control to release a certain area of the film web, for example, of 10 mm. The corresponding roller drive 7 is set again.
    Thus, the film web around the press roller 3 and the blanket cylinder around freely and can float on the surface.
  4. 4. At the same time, air is blown in via the two blower rods at the film inlet and outlet to the blanket cylinder or to the press roller and the web is levitated.

Diese Art der Stillsetzung des Folientransportes wird insbesondere bei Hilfsfunktionen der Druckmaschine eingesetzt. Hierbei kommen in Frage Farbwerkwaschen, Gummizylinderwaschen, Druckzylinderwaschen oder Arbeiten am Papiertransport.This type of shutdown of the film transport is used in particular for auxiliary functions of the printing press. Ink washing, rubber cylinder washing, printing cylinder washing or paper transport work are possible here.

Anhand der vorliegenden Ausführungen ist es möglich, verschiedenartige Beschichtungen im Transferverfahren von einer Transferfolie 5 auf unterschiedliche Substratmaterialien zu übertragen. Die detaillierten Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind nicht auf die hier angegebenen Möglichkeiten beschränkt, sondern können im Rahmen des fachmännischen Könnens darüber hinaus interpretiert werden.On the basis of the present embodiments, it is possible to transfer different types of coatings in the transfer process from a transfer film 5 to different substrate materials. The detailed embodiments of the invention are not limited to the possibilities given here, but may be interpreted beyond the skill of the art.
