- 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.
- 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.
- each sheet is given an adhesive pattern.
- 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.
- the downwardly lying metallic layer enters into a close connection with the areas provided with adhesive on the printed 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- an imaging layer e.g. a metallization
- 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.
- 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.
- the film transport can be stopped when auxiliary functions such as washing or setting operations are carried out on the press.
- 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.
- a cut-out blanket, a plastic printing form or a stick-on press-on segment is suitable.
- a further improvement of the film utilization results from the fact that the transfer film is divided into one or more Partfolienbahnen smaller width. In combination with the above-mentioned method, it is thus also possible to use different types of film side by side.
- 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.

- the compressed air surge causes a - possibly thin - air layer between the film web 5 and the surface of the press roll 3 forms.
- the film web 5 can slip or float on the press roller 5.
- the press roller 3 can continue to rotate without the risk of damaging the film web 5 while the film web 5 is stationary.

Abstract
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
Es ist bekannt metallische Schichten auf Druckbogen mittels eines Folientransferverfahrens herzustellen. So ist in der
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
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.

In
- 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 imBeschichtungswerk 2 wird durch einePresswalze 3 und einenGegendruckzylinder 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 Folientransfergenutzten Beschichtungswerkes 2 ist eine Bahnführung für Transferfolien dargestellt.
DieTransferfolien 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.
DieFolienvorratsrolle 8 ist demBeschichtungswerk 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 derPresswalze 3 gehalten. Auf der ablaufseitigen Seite des Druckwerkesist 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 dieTransferfolie 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 indem Transferspalt 6 zwischen derPresswalze 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 dieOberfläche der Presswalze 3 also des Drucktuchzylinders bzw. Formzylinders mittels eines kompressiblen, dämpfenden Elementes ausgerüstet ist.
- 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 thetransfer sheet 5 is pressed in the transfer nip 6 against the sheet (coating unit 2).
The transfer nip 6 in thecoating unit 2 is formed by apress roll 3 and animpression 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.
Thetransfer 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.
Thefilm supply roll 8 is assigned to thecoating unit 2 on the sheet feed side. Thefilm supply roll 8 has a rotary drive 7.
The rotary drive 7 is required for continuous controlled feeding of the transfer film to thecoating 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 thepress roller 3. On the downstream side of the printing unit, afilm collection roller 9 is shown. On thefilm 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, thetransfer 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 thepress roller 3 and the impression cylinder. Thepress roll 3 may be a blanket cylinder of an offset printing unit.
Thepress roll 3 can also be the forme cylinder of a paint module. It is essential that the surface of thepress 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
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
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
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 diePresswalze 3 weist einen Zylinderkanal 11 auf. Im Bereich des Zylinderkanals erfolgt keine Pressung der Transferfolie 5 zwischen der Presswalze 3 (Drucktuchzylinder) unddem Gegendruckzylinder 4, da beide Zylinder diesenZylinderkanal 11 aufweisen.Die Presswalze 3 läuft dann unter der Transferfolie 5 gleitend durch, während dieTransferfolie 5zwischen Presswalze 3 und Gegendruckzylinder 4 frei gespannt ist. Dieser Zustand dauert an bis am so genannten Druckanfang derZylinderkanal 11 endet und dieTransferfolie 5 erneut zwischen derPresswalze 3und dem Gegendruckzylinder 4 unter Einschluss eines Druckbogens eingeklemmt wird. Dann wird dieTransferfolie 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 eingezeichnet sind, ist die Steuerung der Drehantriebe 7Figur 1der 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 derPresswalze 3und dem Gegendruckzylinder 4 liegende Folienstück stillsteht, solange derZylinderkanal 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 derPresswalze 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 diePressfläche die Transferfolie 5berührend den Transferspalt 6 durchläuft.
- 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-guidingcounter-pressure cylinder 4 receiving cylinder channel. The grippers hold the printed sheet on theimpression cylinder 4. Thepress roll 3 has acylinder channel 11. In the region of the cylinder channel, there is no pressing of thetransfer film 5 between the press roller 3 (blanket cylinder) and theimpression cylinder 4, since both cylinders have thiscylinder channel 11. Thepress roll 3 then slidably passes under thetransfer sheet 5, while thetransfer sheet 5 passes between thepress roll 3 andimpression cylinder 4 is tensioned freely. This state continues until at the so-called pressure beginning of thecylinder channel 11 ends and thetransfer sheet 5 is again clamped between thepress roller 3 and theimpression cylinder 4, including a sheet. Then, thetransfer sheet 5 is further transported. The timing of the film feed can begin or suspend a little earlier than predetermine the channel edges of thecylinder channel 11 corresponding to a necessary acceleration or braking of thefilm supply roll 8 or film collecting 9. In reaction-fast timing systems via so-calleddancer rollers 18, as exemplified inFIG. 1 are shown, the control of the rotary actuators 7 of the film supply rolls 8 andfilm 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 thepress roll 3 and theimpression cylinder 4 is stationary as long as thecylinder 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 thepress 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 thetransfer film 5 is only given when the pressing surface, thetransfer 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
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
Eine entsprechende Vorrichtung ist in
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
In einer vereinfachten Form der Beschichtungseinrichtung gemäß
Die Darstellung nach
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
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.
Die Foliensammelrolle 9 und dieFolienvorratsrolle 8 werden über den jeweiligen Rollenantrieb 7 mittels einer Lageregelung in Stillstand gebracht. Es erfolgt keine Folienaufrollung oder-abrollung. - 2.
Die Tänzerwalzen 18 werden festgesetzt, d.h. es erfolgt keine Bahnspannungsregelung. - 3.
Die Folienvorratsrolle 8 oder dieFoliensammelrolle 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 diePresswalze 3 bzw. den Drucktuchzylinder herum frei und kann auf dessen Oberfläche schweben. - 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.
- 1. The
film collecting roller 9 and thefilm 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. The
dancer rollers 18 are fixed, ie there is no web tension control. - 3. The
film supply roll 8 or thefilm 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 thepress roller 3 and the blanket cylinder around freely and can float on the surface. - 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.
