Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum Steuerung einer Verarbeitungsmaschine für Bogenmaterial mit wenigstens einem Druck- und/oder Lackwerk nach dem Oberbegriff der unabhängigen Ansprüche.The invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling a processing machine for sheet material with at least one printing and / or coating unit according to the preamble of the independent claims.

Eine Verarbeitungsmaschine ist gemäß EP 0 812 683 A1 mit einem steuerbaren Direktantrieb für einen einzeln antreibbaren Zylinder bekannt. Von einem zumindest für den Transport des Bogenmaterials mittels Bogenführungszylindem vorgesehenen Räderzug einer Bogenoffsetdruckmaschine entkoppelt ist ein Plattenzylinder oder ein Gummituchzylinder zumindest eines Druckwerkes mittels Einzelantrieb in vorgebbarer Weise direkt antreibbar. Durch die einzelnen und unabhängig von übrigen Zylindern motorisch direkt antreibbaren Plattenzylinder werden neben drucktechnischen Korrekturmöglichkeiten auch weitere Vorgänge wie Plattenwechsel oder Reinigen von Zylindern realisiert. Das dem Plattenzylinder zugeordnete Farbwerk weist wenigstens eine Walze auf, welche mit einem motorischen Direktantrieb antreibbar ist. Alternativ sind bestimmte Farbwerkwalzen antriebsseitig mit dem Räderzug für den Bogentransport über den Hauptantrieb gekoppelt.A processing machine is according to EP 0 812 683 A1 with a controllable direct drive for a single driven cylinder known. From a provided at least for the transport of the sheet material by Bogenführungszylindem gear train a sheetfed offset printing decoupled a plate cylinder or a blanket cylinder is at least one printing unit by means of individual drive in a predeterminable manner directly driven. Due to the individual and independent of other cylinders directly driven plate cylinder plate pressure correction options and other operations such as plate replacement or cleaning of cylinders can be realized. The inking unit associated with the plate cylinder has at least one roller which can be driven by a direct motor drive. Alternatively, certain inking rollers are coupled on the drive side with the gear train for the sheet transport via the main drive.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welche die Rüstzeiten, insbesondere die Reinigungszeiten, an einer Verarbeitungsmaschine für Bogenmaterial mit wenigstens einem einzeln antreibbaren, eine Druckform tragenden Zylinder spürbar reduziert.The invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned above, which reduces the set-up times, especially the cleaning times, on a processing machine for sheet material with at least one individually driven, a printing plate bearing cylinder.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Ausbildungsmerkmale der jeweiligen Ansprüche 1 bis 6. Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen.The object is achieved by the training features of the respective claims 1 to 6. Further developments will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Ein erster Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass eine deutliche Rüstzeitverkürzung durch die gesteuerte, gleichzeitige Kombination von bisher einzeln bzw. sequentiell durchgeführten Arbeitsabläufen, insbesondere beim Reinigen, an einer Verarbeitungsmaschine realisiert wird.A first advantage of the invention is that a significant set-up time reduction is realized by the controlled, simultaneous combination of previously individually or sequentially performed work processes, in particular during cleaning, on a processing machine.

Als zweiter Vorteil ist aufzuführen, dass in einem Druckwerk, vorzugsweise beim Reinigen, der die Druckform tragende Zylinder (Plattenzylinder) und das benachbarte Farbwerk temporär mit einer ersten Drehzahl synchron mittels Direktantrieb antreibbar sind und dass der Gummituchzylinder und der als Bogenführungszylinder ausgebildete Druckzylinder mit einer zweiten Drehzahl synchron mittels Hauptantrieb und Räderzug antreibbar sind. Durch die bedarfsweise unterschiedlichen Drehzahlen werden neben der Rüstzeitverkürzung, insbesondere bei Verkürzung der Reinigungszeit, auch die Reinigungsergebnisse verbessert. So ist durch diese speziellen Drehzahlen eine effektivere Anpassung an die Art der eingesetzten Reinigungsvorrichtung, beispielsweise einer Tuchwaschvorrichtung, einer Bürstenwaschvorrichtung, einer Farbwerkswascheinrichtung, sowie die Art der eingesetzten Waschmittel realisierbar.As a second advantage is to be mentioned that in a printing unit, preferably when cleaning, the cylinder carrying the printing plate (plate cylinder) and the adjacent inking unit are temporarily driven synchronously by direct drive at a first speed and that the blanket cylinder and formed as a sheet guiding cylinder pressure cylinder with a second Speed synchronously driven by the main drive and gear train are. Due to the different speeds required, in addition to the set-up time reduction, especially when shortening the cleaning time, the cleaning results are improved. Thus, a more effective adaptation to the type of cleaning device used, for example a cloth washing device, a brush washing device, an inking unit washing device, as well as the type of detergent used can be realized by these special speeds.

Ein dritter Vorteil ist dadurch gegeben, dass durch die Anordnung einer schaltbaren Kupplung das Farbwerk antriebsseitig temporär aus dem Hauptantrieb und Räderzug der Bogenführungszylinder getrennt und mit dem direkt angetriebenen, die Druckform tragenden Zylinder gekoppelt wird. Antriebsseitig ist das Farbwerk insbesondere für die Reinigungsprozesse, über den direkt angetriebenen, die Druckform tragenden Zylinder betreibbar. Nach Beendigung der Reinigungsprozesse, beispielsweise beim Fortdruck, wird die Antriebsverbindung des Farbwerkes zum direkt angetriebenen, die Druckform tragenden Zylinder getrennt und das Farbwerk wieder mechanisch in den Hauptantrieb und Räderzug der Bogenführungszylinder eingekoppelt.A third advantage is given by the fact that the inking drive side temporarily separated by the arrangement of a switchable clutch from the main drive and gear train of the sheet guiding cylinder and coupled to the directly driven, the printing plate bearing cylinder. On the drive side, the inking unit is operable, in particular for the cleaning processes, via the directly driven cylinder carrying the printing plate. After completion of the cleaning processes, for example, in the continuous printing, the drive connection of the inking unit to the directly driven, the printing plate bearing cylinder is separated and the inking unit mechanically coupled again into the main drive and gear train of the sheet guiding cylinder.

Als vierter Vorteil ist anzugeben, dass in einem Lackwerk, vorzugsweise beim Reinigen, der die Druckform tragende Zylinder (Formzylinder) und zumindest eine benachbarte Auftragwalze der Dosiereinrichtung temporär mit einer ersten Drehzahl synchron mittels Direktantrieb antreibbar sind und dass der als Bogenführungszylinder ausgebildete Druckzylinder mit einer zweiten Drehzahl mittels Hauptantrieb und Räderzug antreibbar sind. Durch die bedarfsweise unterschiedlichen Drehzahlen werden neben der Rüstzeitverkürzung, insbesondere bei Verkürzung der Reinigungszeit, auch die Reinigungsergebnisse verbessert. So ist durch diese speziellen Drehzahlen eine effektivere Anpassung an die Art der eingesetzten Reinigungsvorrichtung, beispielsweise einer Tuchwaschvorrichtung, einer Bürstenwaschvorrichtung, einer Auftragwalzenwascheinrichtung, sowie die Art der eingesetzten Waschmittel realisierbar.The fourth advantage to be stated is that in a coating unit, preferably during cleaning, the cylinder carrying the printing form (forme cylinder) and at least one adjacent applicator roller of the metering device can be temporarily driven synchronously by means of a direct drive at a first rotational speed and that the printing cylinder designed as a sheet guiding cylinder can be driven at a second rotational speed by means of a main drive and gear train. Due to the different speeds required, in addition to the set-up time reduction, especially when shortening the cleaning time, the cleaning results are improved. Thus, a more effective adaptation to the type of cleaning device used, for example a cloth washing device, a brush washing device, a applicator roller washing device, as well as the type of detergent used can be realized by these special speeds.
