Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a printing sleeve or roller in accordance with the introduction to the main claim. The invention also relates to a method for producing the sleeve or roller.
- Printing sleeves and rollers having different shapes and having a single body (of metal or completely constructed of polymer material, such as polyurethane) or comprising two or more cylindrical layer which are superimposed each other and which are made of the same material or different materials, such as glass-fibre, polyurethane or rubber, have been known for some time. These sleeves are used both in flexographic printing and in offset printing.
- With reference to flexographic printing, the sleeve is drawn over a suitable mandrel and supports the printing plates by interposing between these and the free surface of the sleeve a suitable known adhesive element having the double purpose of fixing the plate to the surface and providing a sort of damping element between the sleeve and plate. This adhesive element usually has a thickness not less than 0.38 mm.
- The use of adhesive elements to fix the plate to the sleeve or roller results in high sleeve formation costs. In addition, the presence of these adhesive elements affects the printing quality by making the point of contact between the plate and the sleeve or roller surface non-uniform and linear.
- In offset printing, for the known problems of wetting the printing plate in the non-printing regions which can hence not accept oil-based ink, a wetting unit is currently used comprising a dispensing roller and a wetting unit for a roller carrying printing parts. This roller and wetting roller unit transport water containing percentages of additives, such as isopropyl alcohol, able to reduce the surface tension of the water.
- Even in this solution problems have been encountered, mainly related to the high cost of the alcohol or active substance in general, and to its disposal: the said additive is highly pollutant and toxic and must therefore be treated after use in a special manner to avoid environmental problems. For some time research has been carried out aimed at wetting the said plate using only water without any additive, but so far this research has not borne fruit.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a printing sleeve or printing roller, usable either for flexographic printing or for offset printing, which is able to solve the aforesaid problems related to the use of known solutions in such printing systems.
- Another object is to provide a sleeve of the stated type which enables the costs of printing machines and of the printing operation itself to be reduced.
- A further object is to provide a sleeve or roller of the stated type which is able to avoid the use of environmentally harmful additives in offset printing, hence reducing the cost thereof.
- Another object is to provide a method by which a sleeve or roller of the stated type can be produced at low cost.
- These and other objects which will be apparent to the expert of the art are attained by a sleeve or roller and by a method in accordance with the accompanying claims.
- The present invention will be more apparent from the accompanying drawings, which are provided by way of non-limiting example and in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a sleeve or roller formed in accordance with the invention;
- Figure 2 is a schematic block diagram showing the implementation of the method according to the invention.
- With reference to said figures, A sleeve or roller according to the invention is indicated overall by 1 and comprises a
body 2. The latter can be formed completely of polymer material such as polyurethane, or can have an inner portion (made of glass, resin, kevlar, carbon, nickel or copper) on which are located one or more layers made of polymeric material, rubber or other similar materials. The inner portion and the layer are torsionally connected so as thebody 2 acts as a single body. - In the embodiment of figure 1, the
body 2 is completely made of polymeric material; it is tubular and presents a cavity 3 disposed along its axis W. This body has a layered structure and, in particular, comprises a first portion 4 communicating with the cavity 3 and bounding this latter and at least one second portion having asurface 6 defining the free surface of the sleeve. This latter can support printing plates if the sleeve orroller 1 is used for flexographic printing; alternatively it can be used to wet a plate if the sleeve or roller is used for offset printing. - According to the invention, the
second portion 5 has a microcell structure with open cells at the surface, whereas the first portion 4 has a closed cell structure on the inside of the layer. By virtue of this characteristic, thestructure 6 of the sleeve orroller 1 has high elastic return (for example between 5 and 40 lbs/inch) which, when used in a flexographic printing machine, enables very thin adhesive elements (for example from 0.07 to 0.10 mm) to be used for the printing plates, which adhesive elements can be rigid. This enables production costs of a sleeve or roller for flexographic printing to be reduced and ensures a uniform linear point of contact between the printing plates positioned over the entire surface of the sleeve or roller and the element on which the printing is carried out. This improves print quality. - The open cell microcell structure of the
second portion 5 has a high capacity for absorbing and distributing water uniformly in its rotary movement; this is particularly important when the sleeve orroller 1 is used for offset printing. In this manner the printing plate can be adequately wetted while limiting or possibly avoiding the use of additives in the wetting liquid. This enables the use of a material harmful to the environment to be totally or at least largely avoided, and the disposal of which would be costly, as in fact is the case with currently known methods. - The structure of the
portion 5 has a density between 0.600 g/ml and 0.800 g/ml, and preferably a thickness between 0.200 mm and 20.00 mm. - The sleeve or
roller 1 is produced as shown schematically in Figure 2. The method for producing the sleeve or roller comprises adding an isocyanate present in atank 20 to a polyol present in atank 21. This addition can be in variable percentages, for example from 100 parts of polyol and 20 parts of isocyanate to 100:100 depending on the hardness to be obtained. Dry, substantially moisture-free air (i.e. having a lower relative humidity between 30% and 80%) is fed into thetank 21 from atank 22. The air quantity fed into thetank 21 is suitably metered by a metering pump and is for example one litre for each 10-15 kg of second component. - The isocyanate and polyol are mixed together in a mixing machine and from there the material obtained is distributed over a rotary roller or
sleeve 23 so as to coat it and define the sleeve orroller 1 in crude form. The coating obtained in this manner on the roller orsleeve 23 will contain perfectly regular air microbubbles dispersed uniformly within the entire layer of the roller or sleeve. - After the material has stabilized by chemical reaction between the two components, the coating on the roller, mandrel or
sleeve 1 is surface-ground at 24, by which the air-containing cells are opened at thesurface 5 to create, on the perfectly uniform and regular coating, microfissures offering the aforesaid advantages. - A preferred embodiment of the invention has been described. Others are however possible in the light of the aforegoing description: for example known hollow bodies (microspheres) can be dispersed within the polymer material which become dispersed uniformly throughout the (overall) sleeve layer, said hollow bodies forming microcavities within the
body 2 of the sleeve. These microcavities are then opened at thesurface 6 of thelayer 5 by subjecting the sleeve or roller to a suitable mechanical surface machining operation (grinding). Alternatively, water droplets can be dispersed within the polymer material, these defining the aforesaid cavities when evaporated by heating thebody 2. - Furthermore, according to a different embodiment of the invention, at least layer 5 (or both
layers 4 and 5 of polymeric material) are provided over a cylindrical body made of metal, glass-fiber, carbon fiber or any other rigid material but suitable for allowing a limited radial expansion of cylindrical body to be obtained when mounted on a mandrel of a printing machine. - Even in this embodiment,
layer 5 has an open-cell microcell structure in order to obtain the advantages above cited. - In this embodiment, the sleeve is obtained by coating the cylindrical body, located on a rotating mandrel, with manufacturing steps which can be easily understood by the skilled man on the basis of the description of fig. 2. Hence, these steps are not described.
