Definitions

  • the operator When monitoring a printing web with a video camera, the operator must perform checks on the print image made by the printing press by taking snapshots from the running web using the video camera and controlling the print quality from these recordings. Since areas of a printed image or motif on a moving web can vary depending on the respective position on the printing web, it is necessary to control, for example, the left side of the printed image and then the right side again. For example, when printing stamps, a sheet of approximately 50 stamps is printed in length and width, whereby the print quality of a single stamp at about the left edge of the print image and the print quality of a single stamp on the right edge of the print image must be checked.
  • a cursor for example a rectangle
  • the actual print image is taken and then the recording is used to check whether the reproduction of the desired area shows a magnification sufficient for the examination. If not, the zoom of the camera must be changed, followed by another shot and determined by this new recording, if the print image in the desired area is sufficiently clearly reproduced.
  • This method is by repeated readjustment of the zoom and multiple takes on the printed image time-consuming, since it must be waited before each shot until the desired part of the print image is back in front of the camera.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a device so that in the shortest possible time that region of the printed image can be selected, which is then to be checked.
  • this is essentially achieved by not only navigating the cursor to a specific position on the overview image at which a check of the printed image is to be made, but also by simultaneously making a magnification change on the virtual overview image such that the selected region of the printed image is also reproduced in the desired magnification on the overview image itself, so the overview image exactly that area of the print image with the desired magnification reproduces without delay, which is then to be checked on the real print image.
  • the magnification setting on the virtual overview image simultaneously changes the optical zoom of the camera according to the setting on the overview image, so that both the position and the zoom of the camera over the current print image are adjusted based on the setting on the overview image.
  • pulses as a function of the length and width of the printed image and the like can be determined by a computing device, at which time the selected on the overview image area of the print image in front of the camera appears, so in the calculated time, the camera takes a flash photograph of the real print image in the form as it was predefined on the virtual overview image.
  • Fig. 1 1 denotes a monitor which reproduces an overview image of the print image to be produced and an area of the overview image on its screen 1a by means of a cursor 1b can be selected.
  • 2 denotes a control and computing unit connected to the monitor 1, which controls a video camera 4 via a line 3, which is arranged above or in front of a running printing or material web 6 in order to record a printed image 9 (FIG. Fig. 2b ) printed on the web 6 by a printing cylinder 7a.
  • sensors such.
  • a rotary encoder 7 is provided which give signals via a line 8 to the control and processing unit 2.
  • Fig. 2a schematically shows a virtual overview image 10, which is displayed on the monitor 1 or a touch screen and the real printed image 9 on the printed material web 6 corresponds.
  • the overview image 10 on the monitor 1 shows a high-resolution virtual image of the print image 9.
  • This virtual image can be obtained in various ways, for example as a pre-press pdf or bitmap (design area).
  • the picture can also be provided by any camera.
  • Fig. 2b schematically shows the real printed image 9 on the printed material web 6, wherein on the web 6 successively printed images 9 are printed by the printing cylinder 7a. By an arrow, the direction of movement of the web 6 is indicated.
  • the cursor 1b can be navigated to a specific area of the overview image 10, which is then to be checked for its print quality on the real print image 9.
  • a control device for example a mouse
  • the cursor 1b is shifted to the upper right corner of the overview image 10, whereby the image recording position of the camera 4 over the web 6 in the corresponding area 9a on the real printed image is simultaneously controlled by the control and computing unit 2 connected to the control device, for example mouse 9, as indicated by dashed lines at 9a in FIG Fig. 2b is reproduced.
  • the camera 4 can be moved on a moving device, not shown, transversely to the moving material web, because the web width is often greater than the field of view of the camera.
  • the control and processing unit 2 receives the parameters from which calculates the position of the camera 4 in relation to the real printed image 9 which corresponds to the position of the cursor 1b on the overview image 10. From the given parameters of the printing machine on the one hand and the dimensions of the printed image 9 on the web 6 on the other hand, the control and computing unit 2 can also specify when the real print image 9 appears in front of the camera 4, so that a flash photography of the camera 4 triggered exactly at the time in which the selected area 9a of the real printed image 9 appears in front of the camera 4.
  • the machine operator on the other monitor 5 the recording of the printed image area 9a, which is stored in the buffer 4a, take a look, said in the previous method, the first on acquisition, as a rule, the area to be checked 9a does not reproduce in the clarity and magnification required for optical inspection. Therefore, in the previous method, the zoom of the camera 4 is subsequently adjusted so that the area to be checked 9a can be recorded more clearly and magnified by the camera 4, whereupon again taken a record of this area 9a and then determined on the basis of the new acquisition, whether the reproduction of the area 9a is sufficient for a check of the print quality. If necessary, a further change of the zoom must be made and a further picture taken to obtain on the monitor 5 an image of the area to be checked 9a, which sufficiently clearly reproduces this area for checking the print quality.
  • the cursor 1b in Fig. 2a selected range of the overview image 10 on the overview image itself by a magnification switch 1 c set to the desired magnification, which appears to be useful for checking the print quality.
  • the area selected on the overview image 10 by the cursor 1b is enlarged in such a way that it covers the entire area Screen 1a of the monitor 1 assumes, this enlarged view in Fig. 3 designated 10b.
  • the overview image 10 in FIG Fig. 2a represent a printed image of a stamp block block to be produced, the stamp block z. B. 50 stamps in width and 50 stamps in the length of the real printed image 9 includes.
  • the area selected by the cursor 1b in FIG Fig. 2a includes, for example, a single stamp in the upper right corner of the overview image 10, wherein by the magnification switch 1 c an enlargement of this single stamp is carried out so that it occupies the entire area of the screen 1a, as Fig. 3 at 10b shows.
  • the zoom of the camera 4 is simultaneously adjusted by the control and arithmetic unit 2 via a line 3a by coupling the magnification switch 1c to the control device 2 in such a way that during a subsequent recording of the selected area 9a on the real printed image 9 by the camera 4, this appears on the monitor 5 in the same magnification as 10b set on the monitor 1.
  • the length of the printed image 9 or a corresponding motif on the web 6 can correspond, for example, to 600 pulses of an angular momentum transmitter 7.
  • the width of the printed image 9 can be reproduced by an absolute or linear encoder.
  • marks on the printing cylinder can be scanned and other sensors such as inductive sensors and the like can be used to obtain the necessary parameters for the control of the camera positioning.
  • the camera 4 is also adjusted by position and zoom by the control and processing unit 2 so that in the next step exactly at the time camera 4 can be triggered, in which the selected section 9a of the real print image 9 appears in front of the camera , whereupon the corresponding section 9a of the printed image 9 on the surveillance monitor 5 in the same Playback appears like he is on the overview picture 10b in Fig. 3 previously set.
  • a screen may be provided in the form of a touch screen, so that by tapping the selected area continuously enlarging the overview image 10 while adjusting the zoom on the camera 4 is made, whereupon after reaching the desired magnification touch the touch Screens finished and thus the magnification on the screen 1a and the zoom setting on the camera 4 is set.
  • a reduction switch 1d for reducing the selected area 10b on the overview image is also provided on the monitor 1, so that it is possible, for example, to reduce the magnification on the overview image and thus the zoom of the camera from too great a magnification.
  • the enlargement of the selected section 1b on the overview image 10 and thus the adjustment of the zoom on the camera 4 is preferably continuously changed. But it is also possible to make a gradual change in the magnification and the zoom, whereby the steps set in the software are chosen to be correspondingly small, so that a desired magnification can be set.
  • a switch or a pushbutton can also be provided, by means of which the selected enlargement can be applied to the original overview image 10 (FIG. Fig. 2a ) is reduced, which does not reflect magnification, whereupon starting from the overview image 10, an enlargement of a certain range can be made.
  • the software required for continuous or small-scale enlargement of a selected area on the overview image 10 is known per se.
  • the control signals of the software used for enlarging the section 1b on the overview image 10 are also used for the adjustment of the zoom on the camera 4 and forwarded by the control device 2 via the line 3a to the camera.
  • the overview image. 10 has a dimension of 150 x 150 mm and the printed image 9 has a width of about 2.5 m.
  • the machine operator for example, the print quality in the upper right corner at 9a ( Fig. 2b ) on the real print image, the lower left corner of the print image would like to check for print quality, he can move quickly by means of the cursor on the overview image in the lower left of the screen, while the tracking of the camera including zoom setting takes a certain amount of time.
  • the corresponding area of the virtual print image from the memory in the selected magnification on the monitor 5 is displayed according to a further aspect of the invention by navigating the cursor on the overview image in the lower left corner so the machine operator immediately sees if he has activated the desired area of the printed image.
  • a snapshot can be taken as soon as the real print image appears in front of the camera, which is then reproduced on the monitor 5 instead of the virtual printed image area , In such a case, it is indicated on the monitor 5 whether the virtual print image or even the real print image is still being reproduced.
  • the reproduction of the real print image on the monitor 5 would not differ from the virtual print image previously fetched from the memory in the selected area at the selected zoom.
  • regions of a large print image that are further apart can also be checked quickly, because by the reproduction of the selected region of the virtual print image during the travel time of the camera, the machine operator can already check on the monitor 5 whether the selected region is also the one he is wants to examine, and whether this selected area is displayed in the magnification chosen by him or not, whereupon on the magnification switch 1c a zoom change still on the virtual Print image can be made until the camera is moved to the appropriate shooting area and records the real image in the selected area in the selected magnification so that it can be played on the monitor 5.
