Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flatbed printing machine with a printing table.
  • a flatbed printing machine is to be created in which it can be ensured that a medium to be printed rests over its entire surface on the printing table.
  • a flat bed printing machine with a printing table and a pressing device for a medium to be printed is provided for this purpose, wherein the pressing device has parallel and on both sides to the printing table extending guide rails through which a movable over the printing table Andrückschiene is performed.
  • the medium to be printed can be pressed by means of the Andrückschiene against the printing table and in particular may be emphasized between the medium to be printed and printing table surface existing air in the movement of the pressure rail on the printing table between medium to be printed and printing table.
  • a suction of the medium to be printed against the printing table a full-scale investment of the medium to be printed on the printing table can be ensured.
  • the pressure rail is provided with a brush or a roller for pressing the pressure medium.
  • a reliable smoothing of a medium to be printed can be achieved.
  • the type of medium to be printed for example paper or foil, can be decisive for the choice of a roller or a brush. In the case of a roller, this can passively roll and no separate roller drive must be provided.
  • the pressure rail is lowered by means of a lifting device on the printing table and can be lifted from this.
  • the lifting device has, for example, pivot arms, which are moved by means of lifting cylinders.
  • the printing table is provided with a plurality of negative pressure bores opening into a printing table surface.
  • Such vacuum holes can for example run perpendicular to the printing table and enforce this.
  • a vacuum applied to the vacuum bores then ensures reliable retention of the medium to be printed during the printing process.
  • any waves of the medium to be printed can be smoothed out.
  • means for applying a vacuum to the vacuum holes are provided and controlled so that a negative pressure within a period of time is applied to a vacuum hole in which the pressure rail passes the vacuum hole.
  • the smoothing of the medium to be printed much easier because the negative pressure, for example, is applied to the vacuum holes only when the pressure rail has just passed the vacuum hole.
  • the medium to be printed is thereby sucked against the printing table surface only when the corresponding area has already passed from the pressure rail and has already been smoothed out.
  • the smoothening of possible waves in the medium to be printed and at the same time the striking out of any air trapped between the medium to be printed and the surface of the printing table are not obstructed by the adhesion by means of negative pressure.
  • the vacuum holes are arranged in rows parallel to the Andrückschiene on the printing table, wherein in each case a number of vacuum holes or a range of a plurality of rows combined to the range is applied simultaneously with negative pressure.
  • Such a grid-like arrangement of the vacuum holes facilitates their control.
  • the negative pressure remains applied to this series to avoid a shift of the medium to be printed on the printing table during the further movement of the Andschreibschiene.
  • the negative pressure is expediently also applied during a subsequent printing process.
  • FIG. 1 shows a partially illustrated flatbed printing machine in a perspective view. Of the flatbed printing machine, only one printing table 10 and a pressing device 12 and a control unit 14 are shown. On the printing table 10, a paper sheet 16 is shown, which is to be printed by means of the flatbed printing machine. The paper sheet 16 rests on the printing table 10 and is held on the printing table by means of negative pressure.
  • vacuum holes 18 are provided in the printing table surface, to each of which a negative pressure can be applied. After applying a negative pressure to the vacuum holes 18 thus the paper sheet 16 is sucked against the printing table surface of the printing table 10 and held on this also during a printing operation.
  • vacuum holes 18 are distributed over the entire surface of the printing table 10 with the exception of right and left edge regions.
  • the vacuum holes 18 are arranged in rows, so that a total of a grid-like arrangement of the vacuum holes 18 results.
  • a vacuum to be applied to the vacuum holes 18 is generated by means of a pump and valve unit 20, and by means of the pump and valve unit 20, a negative pressure may also be applied only to selected vacuum holes 18.
  • the pump and valve unit 20 is shown only schematically and to indicate that the individual rows of vacuum holes 18 or areas of several combined rows can be controlled separately, a plurality of connecting lines from the printing table 10 to the pump and valve unit 20 are shown schematically , The pump and valve unit 20 is actuated by means of the control unit 14, which at the same time also assumes the control of a servo drive 22 for the pressure unit 12.
  • the pressing unit 12 has a pressure rail 24, which extends over the entire width of the pressure table 10 and is connected at its two ends in each case with a guide carriage 26, 28.
  • the carriage 26 runs on a guide rail 30 and the carriage 28 runs on a guide rail 32, wherein the guide rails 30, 32 are arranged parallel to the longitudinal sides of the printing table 10.
  • a drive of the carriage 26, 28 is effected in each case by means of a toothed belt 34, 36, which are guided by means of deflection rollers on a base, not shown, of the flatbed printing machine.
  • Both toothed belts 34, 36 and thus also both guide carriages 26, 28 are driven by means of a common shaft 38, which extends beyond the width of the pressure table 10 and is driven by means of the servomotor 22.
  • the carriages 26, 28 each further comprise a lifting device with pneumatic cylinders, wherein in the illustration of FIG. 1 only a pneumatic cylinder 38 on the carriage 28 can be seen.
  • the pressure rail 24 which is pivotally mounted on the guide carriage 28 by means of one arm 40, 42, are lowered onto the surface of the pressure table 10 and lifted from it.
  • the raised representation of the pressure rail 24 is shown.
  • the control of the pneumatic cylinder 38 also takes place via the control unit 14.
  • the pressure rail 24 is provided with a brush 44 which, in the lowered state of the pressure rail 24, moves along the pressure rail 24 Guide rails 30, 32 on the paper sheet 16 rests and this smoothes it. Also in Fig. 2, the lifted off the printing table 10 state of Andrückschiene 24 is shown.
  • FIG. 2 further shows a gripper unit 46 which grips a front edge of the paper sheet 16 and then brings it into its intended printing position.
  • the gripper unit 46 can be moved along unillustrated guides in the longitudinal direction of the flatbed printing press.
  • the printing table 10 can be lowered during a paper transport by the gripper unit 46 and moves only for the pressing operation and the subsequent printing process back to its in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 illustrated raised position.
  • the pressure rail 24 is attached at its two ends to pivot arms 38, 40, wherein in the illustration of FIG. 3, only the pivot arm 40 can be seen.
  • the pivot arms 38, 40 are each pivotally mounted on an associated guide carriage 26 and 28 respectively.
  • the guide carriages 26, 28 are in turn, as already described with reference to FIG. 1, in guide rails 30 and 32 along the printing table 10 movable.
  • the pivot arms 40, 42 can each be moved by means of an associated pneumatic cylinder 38 from the raised position shown in Fig. 3 in a lowered position, wherein in the lowered position then the brush 44 rests on the printing table surface of the printing table 10.
  • only a pneumatic cylinder 48 can be seen, which is pivotally mounted on the pivot arm 40 on the one hand and on the carriage 26 on the other hand pivotally.
  • the pneumatic cylinders 38, 48 are supplied by means of a supply chain 50 with compressed air.
  • control unit 14 causes the pneumatic cylinders 38, 48 are driven so that the brush 44 on the Andrückschiene 24 on the printing table surface and thus on the paper sheet sixteenth is lowered.
  • control unit 14 controls the servo drive 32 so that the pressure rail 24 is moved over the printing table 10.
  • the brush 44 smooths the paper sheet 16 smooth, so that this is applied over the entire surface of the printing table surface.
  • control unit 14 controls the pump and valve unit 20 so that a negative pressure to the vacuum holes 18 is applied only when the brush 44 in the region of a respective vacuum hole or a region of multiple rows of vacuum holes.
  • control unit 14 controls the vacuum holes 18 in rows or according to predefined areas by means of the pump and valve unit 20 and a negative pressure is applied to a respective series of vacuum holes 18 only when the brush 44 during their movement across the printing table 10 away the respective Row or the respective region of the vacuum holes 18 has just passed.
  • the vacuum remains applied to these vacuum holes 18. A negative pressure is thus applied to the vacuum bore 18 in accordance with the progress of the Andrückschiene 24.
