Aufgabe der ErfindungObject of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Flexodruckmaschine anzugeben, welche bei einfachem Aufbau eine schnelle, exakte und voneinander unabhängige Verstellung eines Formatzylinders und eines Farbzylinders ermöglicht. Des Weiteren besteht die Aufgabe, das Betriebsverhalten einer Flexodruckmaschine zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to provide a flexographic printing machine, which allows for a simple structure, a fast, accurate and mutually independent adjustment of a format cylinder and a color cylinder. Furthermore, the object is to improve the performance of a flexographic printing machine.

Zusammenfassung der ErfindungSummary of the invention

Diese Aufgaben werden durch eine Flexodruckmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie durch ein Verfahren zum Betrieb einer Flexodruckmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 8 gelöst. Im Folgenden im Zusammenhang mit der Vorrichtung genannte Ausgestaltungen und Vorteile gelten sinngemäß auch für das Verfahren und umgekehrt.These objects are achieved by a flexographic printing machine with the features of claim 1 and by a method for operating a flexographic printing machine having the features of claim 8. The embodiments and advantages mentioned below in connection with the device also apply mutatis mutandis to the method and vice versa.

Die Flexodruckmaschine weist in an sich bekannter Art einen zentralen Gegendruckzylinder und mehrere Paare aus jeweils einem Formatzylinder und einem Farbzylinder auf. Beim Betrieb der Flexodruckmaschine liegen die Formatzylinder am Gegendruckzylinder an und werden ihrerseits von jeweils einem Farbzylinder kontaktiert. Zur Veränderung der Abstände der Drehachsen der Formatzylinder und Farbzylinder von der Drehachse des Gegendruckzylinders sind Verfahreinrichtungen vorgesehen. Jede Verfahreinrichtung ermöglicht eine unabhängige Verstellung eines Formatzylinders und eines Farbzylinders.The flexographic printing machine has, in a manner known per se, a central counter-pressure cylinder and a plurality of pairs each consisting of a format cylinder and a color cylinder. During operation of the flexographic printing machine, the format cylinders abut on the impression cylinder and in turn are contacted by a respective color cylinder. Moving devices are provided for changing the distances of the axes of rotation of the format cylinders and color cylinders from the axis of rotation of the impression cylinder. Each traversing device enables independent adjustment of a format cylinder and a color cylinder.

Nach der Erfindung weist die Verfahreinrichtung eine einzige, relativ zur Achse des Gegendruckzylinders ortsfeste, nicht drehbare Spindel auf, welche der Führung zweier unabhängig voneinander verfahrbarer Schlitten dient. In jedem Schlitten, welcher zur Lagerung des Farbzylinders bzw. des Formatzylinders vorgesehen ist, ist eine Spindelmutter gelagert, welche durch einen Elektromotor direkt antreibbar ist. Hierbei ist der Rotor des Elektromotors starr mit der Spindelmutter verbunden, beispielsweise durch eine Klemm- oder Schraubverbindung. Vorzugsweise handelt es sich bei dem Motor um einen Torquemotor.According to the invention, the shuttle has a single, relative to the axis of the impression cylinder stationary, non-rotatable spindle, which serves to guide two independently movable carriage. In each carriage, which is provided for storage of the ink cylinder or the format cylinder, a spindle nut is mounted, which is directly driven by an electric motor. Here, the rotor of the electric motor is rigidly connected to the spindle nut, for example by a clamping or screw connection. Preferably, the motor is a torque motor.

In bevorzugter Ausgestaltung ist der Rotor des Motors nicht mittels eines eigenen Rotativlagers, sondern ausschließlich über ein Rotativlager der Spindelmutter, vorzugsweise ein zweireihiges Schrägkugellager, drehbar gelagert. Damit ist sowohl ein sehr kompakter als auch ein spiel- und hysteresefreier Antrieb der Spindelmutter gegeben.In a preferred embodiment, the rotor of the motor is not rotatably supported by means of a separate Rotativlagers, but exclusively via a rotary bearing of the spindle nut, preferably a double-row angular contact ball bearings. Thus, both a very compact as well as a play and hysteresis-free drive the spindle nut is given.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung weist die Verfahreinrichtung eine Längenmesseinrichtung auf, welche als inkrementelles oder absolutes Messsystem ausgebildet sein kann. Statt einer direkten Positionsbestimmung des Schlittens ist auch eine indirekte Positionsbestimmung über eine Messung der Winkelposition der Spindelmutter-Rotor-Einheit möglich.According to an advantageous development, the traversing device has a length measuring device which can be designed as an incremental or absolute measuring system. Instead of a direct position determination of the carriage and an indirect position determination via a measurement of the angular position of the spindle nut-rotor unit is possible.

Die Verfahreinrichtung mit direkt angetriebener Spindelmutter hat den besonderen Vorteil, dass im Vergleich zu Verfahrsystemen, die mit mechanischen Übertragungsmitteln, etwa Zahnriemen, arbeiten, hohe Beschleunigungen und Verfahrgeschwindigkeiten sowie sehr kurze Reaktionszeiten realisierbar sind. Damit ist es möglich, die Verfahreinrichtung nicht nur beim Auswechseln von Zylindern, sondern auch zur aktiven Schwingungstilgung zu verwenden. Hierbei werden Schwingungen des Gegendruckzylinders mittels eines Sensors erfasst und die entsprechenden Signale an eine Steuereinrichtung weitergeleitet, welche die Verfahreinrichtung derart ansteuert, das ein auf die Spindelmutter des Linearantriebs des Format- und/oder Farbzylinders wirkendes Drehmoment der Schwingung des Gegendruckzylinders entgegenwirkt.The traversing device with directly driven spindle nut has the particular advantage that compared to traversing systems which work with mechanical transmission means, such as toothed belts, high accelerations and traveling speeds as well as very short reaction times can be realized. This makes it possible to use the shuttle not only when replacing cylinders, but also for active vibration damping. Here, vibrations of the impression cylinder are detected by means of a sensor and forwarded the corresponding signals to a control device which controls the traversing device, the one on the spindle nut counteracts the torque acting on the linear drive of the format and / or color cylinder of the oscillation of the impression cylinder.

Ausführliche Beschreibung der ZeichnungDetailed description of the drawing

In Figur 1 sind grob vereinfacht wesentliche Funktionselemente einer Flexodruckmaschine 1 dargestellt. Ein zentraler Gegendruckzylinder 2 wirkt zusammen mit Formatzylindern 3 sowie Farbzylindern 4. Eine nicht dargestellte zu bedruckende Stoffbahn liegt an der Oberfläche des Gegendruckzylinders 2 an. Die die Stoffbahn an den Gegendruckzylinder 2 andrückenden Formatzylinder 3 weisen auf der Oberfläche das Druckmuster auf. Die Druckfarbe wird von den Farbzylindern 4 auf die Formatzylinder 3 übertragen. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel existieren acht Paare von je einem Formatzylinder 3 und einem Farbzylinder 4.In FIG. 1 are roughly simplified essential functional elements of a flexographic printing machine 1 shown. A central impression cylinder 2 acts together with format cylinders 3 and color cylinders 4. An unillustrated to be printed fabric is applied to the surface of the impression cylinder 2 at. The format cylinder 3 which presses the material web against the impression cylinder 2 have the printing pattern on the surface. The printing ink is transferred from the color cylinders 4 to the format cylinder 3. In the illustrated embodiment, there are eight pairs of each a form cylinder 3 and a color cylinder. 4

Sowohl die Formatzylinder 3 als auch die Farbzylinder 4 können bei Bedarf ausgewechselt werden. Um die Position jeder einzelnen Achse A3 eines Formatzylinders 3 sowie jeder Achse A4 eines Farbzylinders 4 relativ zur Achse A2 des Gegendruckzylinders 2 einstellen zu können, ist eine Verfahreinrichtung 5 pro Paar an Zylindern 3, 4 vorhanden. Die Verfahreinrichtung 5 weist eine fest, beispielsweise mittels einer Klemmung 6, in einem Rahmen 7 angeordnete Spindel 8 auf. Diese Spindel 8 dient zusammen mit einer ebenfalls am Rahmen 7 befestigten Linearführung 9 der Führung von zwei Schlitten 10, 11, welche Lagerböcke des Formatzylinders 3 bzw. des Farbzylinders 4 bilden.Both the format cylinder 3 and the color cylinder 4 can be replaced if necessary. To the position of each individual axis A3 of a format cylinder 3 as well as each axis A4 of a color cylinder 4 to be able to adjust relative to the axis A2 of the impression cylinder 2, a shuttle 5 per pair of cylinders 3, 4 is present. The traversing device 5 has a fixed, for example by means of a clamp 6, arranged in a frame 7 spindle 8. This spindle 8, together with a likewise fixed to the frame 7 linear guide 9 of the guide of two carriages 10, 11, which form bearing blocks of the format cylinder 3 and the color cylinder 4.

Der Formatzylinder 3 ist, wie aus Figur 2 hervorgeht, ebenso wie der Farbzylinder Farbzylinder 4 mit Wälzlagern 12, beispielsweise Nadellagern, im Schlitten 10, 11 gelagert. Zur Bestimmung der Position des Schlittens 10, 11 auf der Linearführung 9 ist eine Längenmesseinrichtung 13 mit einem Messkopf 14 und einem Linearmaßstab 15 vorgesehen.The format cylinder 3 is as out FIG. 2 emerges, as well as the color cylinder color cylinder 4 with roller bearings 12, for example, needle bearings, stored in the carriage 10, 11. To determine the position of the carriage 10, 11 on the linear guide 9, a length measuring device 13 with a measuring head 14 and a linear scale 15 is provided.

Der Antrieb der Schlitten 10, 11 erfolgt mittels eines prinzipiell beispielsweise aus der DE 102 10 071 A1 bekannten Torquemotors 16, wie im Detail aus Figur 3 hervorgeht. Der permanentmagneterregte Torquemotor 16 weist ein starr mit dem Schlitten 10, 11 verbundenes bestrombares Primärteil 17 sowie ein rotierbares Sekundärteil 18 auf, das mittels einer Verschraubung 19 fest mit einer mit der Spindel 8 zusammenwirkenden Spindelmutter 20 verbunden ist. Die Spindelmutter 20 ist mittels eines zweireihigen Schrägkugellagers 21 relativ zum Stator 17 des Torquemotors 16 drehbar gelagert. Der Rotor 18 des Torquemotors 16 weist kein eigenes Rotativlager auf.The drive of the carriage 10, 11 by means of a principle, for example, from the DE 102 10 071 A1 known torque motor 16, as shown in detail in Figure 3. The permanent magnet excited torque motor 16 has a rigidly connected to the carriage 10, 11 energized primary part 17 and a rotatable secondary part 18 which is fixedly connected by means of a screw 19 with a spindle 8 cooperating with the spindle nut 20. The spindle nut 20 is rotatably supported relative to the stator 17 of the torque motor 16 by means of a double-row angular contact ball bearing 21. The rotor 18 of the torque motor 16 does not have its own Rotativlager.

Der elektrische Direktantrieb der Spindelmutter 20 durch den Torquemotor 16 ermöglicht es, die Kräfte, die zwischen den Zylindern 2, 3, 4, insbesondere zwischen dem Formatzylinder 3 und dem Gegendruckzylinder 2, wirken, sehr genau und schnell zu verändern. Diese Eigenschaft ist nutzbar, um Schwingungen des Gegendruckzylinders 2 aktiv zu unterdrücken. Hierbei werden Schwingungen des Gegendruckzylinders 2 mit einem Schwingungssensor 22 gemessen, der entsprechende Signale an eine Steuereinrichtung 23 leitet. Die Steuereinrichtung 23 dient der Ansteuerung des Torquemotors 16, womit Kräfte erzeugt werden, die in der Schwingung des Gegendruckzylinders 2 entgegenwirkender Weise auf den Formatzylinder 3 und/oder den Farbzylinder 4 wirken. Auf diese Weise ist ein geschlossener Regelkreis zur aktiven Schwingungstilgung realisiert.The electric direct drive of the spindle nut 20 by the torque motor 16 makes it possible to change the forces acting between the cylinders 2, 3, 4, in particular between the format cylinder 3 and the impression cylinder 2, very accurately and quickly. This property can be used to actively suppress vibrations of the impression cylinder 2. Here, vibrations of the impression cylinder 2 are measured with a vibration sensor 22, which passes corresponding signals to a control device 23. The control device 23 is used to control the torque motor 16, whereby forces are generated, the counteracting in the oscillation of the impression cylinder 2 Mode act on the format cylinder 3 and / or the color cylinder 4. In this way, a closed loop for active vibration damping is realized.
