Printing press system

The invention relates to a printing machine system, in particular for newspaper and Semicommercialdruck, according to the preamble of claim 1.

DE 102 38 010 A1 discloses a printing press with both printing units for newspaper printing and a printing unit for printing semicommmercial products, by means of which printing is produced on a common folding unit having a newspaper and an illustration folder.

WO 2004/024448 A1 discloses a printing machine having a plurality of printing units, at least one dryer and a folding apparatus, wherein printing units are arranged side by side with respect to the axial direction of their cylinders. A web path from the printing units to a three-hopper juxtaposed hopper assembly has a 90 "bend projected into the horizontal.

WO 03/031 182 A1 discloses a printing machine with a plurality of printing towers for the printing of newspaper products, the printing towers being arranged in a machine alignment perpendicular to the axial direction of their printing unit cylinders, d. H. the printing machine is designed as a so-called line machine. The inlet direction of formers of a hopper assembly associated with straight running also run along or at least parallel to the machine alignment.

By DE 40 12 396 A1 two printing machine lines are each arranged with a plurality of juxtaposed, successively traversed by a web printing units, wherein additional devices of a printing press can be used by transferring the web in the other printing press. In US 19 72 506 A a printing machine with a plurality of juxtaposed printing units and an aligned funnel structure is disclosed. From 90 ° to the first machine offset staggered printing units, multi-color printed partial webs can lead to the funnel structure of the first machine.

DE 20 2005 010 058 U1 or EP 16 83 634 A1 shows a printing press with two printing machine subsystems, wherein the printing machine subsystems are designed differently such that can be printed in these printing material webs with a different number of printed pages.

From DE 102 36 864 A1 a printing machine with several lines is disclosed side by side, each line each having a printing unit, a dryer and a cooling roller assembly. After passing through the respective line, the web is deflected by a turning bar in a transport direction by 90 ° and guided on a three juxtaposed funnel having funnel structure.

Helmut Kipphan, Springer, 2000, pp. 357 and 358 give examples of printing presses or presses with combined HeatsetVColdset machine lines.

The publication "Atlas of Newspaper and Illustration Printing", Alexander Braun, Polygraph, 1960, on page 152, shows a printing machine with a four-plate-wide printing unit and a double-width hopper assembly with a downstream folder, using a 90 ° wrapper for the first machine staggered printing units printed single-sided webs in the folder of the former machine can be fed.

The invention is based on the object, a printing press system, in particular for, creating a variable product design.

The object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

The advantages which can be achieved with the invention are, in particular, that in the case of the arrangement of two different printing presses in a printing machine system, a wide variety of mixed products can be produced in a simple and variable manner. By the combination of z. B. different types of printing machines or printing units can be accommodated the most diverse requirements for product diversity and quality. Thus, for example, separately higher-quality heatset products or else in so-called "hybrid production" mixed products from heatset and coldset sides can be produced. "Heatset" is hereby representative of other, different from the thermal drying web drying process.

In Hybid production, for example, it is possible to provide broadsheet products coming from the coldset unit with coversheets from the heatset machine. In tabloid production, coldset tabloid products can also be provided with heatset wrappers or heatset panorama pages within the product. Here, e.g. a full-width coldset web after printing at least once cut longitudinally before it is fed to the heatset strand in the superstructure.

The outer layer can be formed for a variety of coldset partial products without much effort in the paper guide by means of higher-value heatset partial webs.

It is advantageous in an orthogonal machine setup that the sensitive, printed in Heatsetverfahren on appropriate paper web does not have to be routed regularly over turning bars, but in straight-ahead on the hopper structure is feasible. For example, is thus a printing press system with z. As a newspaper printing machine and a page number and / or printing process and / or drying possibility different printing press, designed to be produced in addition to the pure newspaper production, "improved" newspaper products or mixed products.

In a particularly advantageous embodiment, webs or partial webs are guided from a triple-width printing unit to a merely double-width funnel structure. Here, the high productivity typical of the triple-width printing units is combined with the flexibility and variability of a double-width superstructure and hopper assembly.

Embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and will be described in more detail below.

1 shows a schematic plan view of a printing press system, wherein in addition to one or more printing units 02 of a first type (or first printing unit 02) of a first printing press 01 also one or more printing units 03 of a second type (eg second printing unit 03) a second printing machine 31 are provided. The first and second printing units 02; 03 are laterally described in more detail below, in particular angularly aligned with each other.

Particular advantages in terms of product design result from the fact that the two types of printing units 02; 03 - depending on the requirement - are different from each other.

The two types of printing units 02; 03 or printing machines 01; 31 now differ in the width and / or in the circumference of their imaging printing cylinder 04; 14, ie in the maximum effective for the printing length and / or in the circumference of the imaging printing cylinder 04; 14, z. B. forme cylinder 04; 14 (see below). Ie. they are designed with a length and / or a circumference, which a different number of printed pages of the same format, for. B. newspaper pages in broadsheet format, corresponds or a mutually different number of printed pages on the forme cylinder 04; 14 carries. For example, the printing unit 02; 03 of the one type printing group cylinder 04; 14 a width of four printed pages, in particular four newspaper pages ("double width"), and - at least the forme cylinder 04 - with a circumference corresponding to the length of two printed pages ("double round"), in particular two newspaper pages ("double round"), be formed, ie in so-called "4/2" version, during the printing unit 03; 02 of the other type in 4 (length) / 1 (circumference of at least the forme cylinder 14; O4) version, in 2/2 version ("single width" and "double round") or 6/2 version ("triple width" and " Doppeltrund ") is formed. In the case of a single-round design, a printing cylinder 06, 16, eg transfer cylinder 06, 16 (see below) cooperating with the "single-round" forme cylinder 04, 14 can also be double-wound. 1 ("single-width" and "single-round"), 2/2 ("single-width" and "double-round"), 4/1 ("double-wide" and "single-round"), 4/2 ("double-wide" and "double-round"), 6/1 ("triple-width" and "single-round"), 6/2 ("triple-width" and "double-round") may be formed while the other printing machine 31, 01 is formed as one of the first different ones of the aforementioned embodiments wider, for example double-width printing unit 02 single-round (4/1 execution), and the printing unit 03 of the second type single-width and double-round (2/2 version), in general terms, in the case of an x / y version, the forme cylinder bears 04; 14 of the relevant printing unit 02; 03 on its circumference in the longitudinal direction next to each other a number of x and in the circumferential direction a number of y printed images (resp. the number of printing forms, z. B. printing plates, each with a printed image) of the format concerned, z. B. tabloid formats or newspaper formats, especially in the newspaper format in broadsheet format.

In the choice of the training of the printing press 01; 31 with respect to the distinction in scope - single or double circumference design - may be a single-circumference design (eg 2/1, 4/1 or 6/1) advantages with regard to the pressure forms to be changed during production change and / or or in view of the infidelity in the product to be finished and / or a machine height. However, a double-circumference design (eg 2/2 4/2, 6/2) can offer advantages in terms of maximum product production in collective production. With regard to the distinction in the longitudinally juxtaposed printed pages is the product strength to be achieved and / or the efficiency with a decision criterion. For example, in the mixed product only a few special situations and in individual production of this z. B. second printing machine 03 only requires small scale products, so z. B. only a single or double width execution of the second printing unit (s) 03 may be sufficient. This is z. B. to produce the strong side inner layers with wider first pressure unit (s) 02, z. B. a triple-width design combined. Thus, in the case of differently wide and / or differing embodiments of the two types of pressure units 02; 03 to adapt specifically to the requirements of a specific product range.

In the advantageous combination described in the illustrated embodiments, in a hybrid production, at least one first printing unit 02 designed as a three-width printing unit 02 cooperates with at least one second printing unit 03 designed as a double-width printing unit 03.

For a triple-width (6/1 or 6/2) version one of the pressure units 02; 03 or printing machines 01; 31 can on the six pages wide transfer cylinder 06; 16 each one over its length continuous, two three-page wide or three two-page width (not shown) blankets - especially metal blankets with a dimensionally stable support plate, z. As metal plate, and an elastic and / or compressible coating - be arranged. Advantageous in the context of increased variability (pop-up production, variable web width) is the execution with longitudinally side by side two three-page wide blankets. The blankets can each be fully circumferentially and - in the case of longitudinally several - circumferentially offset from one another.

The two types of printing units 02; 03 or printing machines 01; For example, in addition to distinguishing between their width and / or circumference, they may differ with respect to, for example, the printing method. For example, the printing unit 02 of the one type as offset, direct printing, flexo printing unit or as printing unit of a non-impact method (printing method without printing form or inking without mechanical action of printing cylinders on the substrate, eg printing on photosensitive paper, Inkjet printing or laser printing) and the printing machine 01 are subject to the corresponding method. The printing unit 03 of the other type may then be formed according to another of the said methods. For example, the one printing machine 01, in particular as a newspaper printing press 01, may be formed with offset printing units, while the other has one or more direct printing or flexographic printing units or non-impact printing units. It may also be a press 01 as a newspaper press 01 with offset printing units to be formed while the other press 31 offset printing units of the commercial printing 03 (ie printing units 03 with substantially horizontal web run for high-quality commercial printing with downstream dryer) or is designed as a commercial printing press.

The two types of printing units 02; 03 or printing machines 01; 31 may - in addition to or instead of a difference in the above printing method - preferably differ in that one of the printing machines 01; 31 with drying of the freshly printed web, ie in the "Heatsef" process (for use of the term "heatset" see below), and the other without drying, ie operated in the "coldset process". The heatset printing press 31; 01 then has corresponding means for drying support 15, z. B. a dryer 15, and the associated printing units 03; 02 are formed with correspondingly modified units and / or ancillary equipment (see below). Advantageously, a printing press 01, in particular as a newspaper press 01 with (offset) printing units (short coldset printing units 02) equipped purely for newspaper and / or coldset printing, can also be formed, while the other printing machine 31 is one or more for the semi-commercial and / or or "Heatsetdruck" formed offset printing unit (s) (short heatset printing unit (s) 03) and means for drying support 15. Unter the intent "heatset" is not only the drying of the web using a thermal process, but in contrast to the "coldset" and the drying by other drying assistants, for. As UV or IR dryer, understood.

Several printing units 02 of the first type, z. B. "pure" coldset printing units 02 are arranged, for example, in the manner of a so-called line machine 01, ie in a common, perpendicular to the axial direction of their printing cylinder 04, 06 machine alignment M1, the machine alignments shown in the figures M1 extend in length at the level of one of the printing cylinder 04, 06 in the length bisecting plane of symmetry and may be referred to in this embodiment as Maschinenmittelflucht M1. In a plurality of printing units 02 of the first type in line arrangement, in a further embodiment not shown in addition to these pressure units 02 associated funnel structure in this machine alignment M1 be arranged (for a "straight-ahead" of these tracks from the first printing units 02 in a possible separate production).

The printing cylinder 04; 06 are formed in the case of offset printing, for example, as a forme cylinder 04 (imaging printing cylinder 04) and transfer cylinder 06. In the first printing units 02 printed material webs 1 1, z. B. webs 1 1, short webs 1 1 have in the first printing machine 01, for example, a projected into the horizontal transport direction T1, which runs along or parallel to the machine alignment M1 of the first printing machine 01. The first printing press 01 designed as a line machine 01 or else a section having at least one printing unit 02 with associated web guiding elements can also be referred to as a (first) machine line 30.

The first printing press 01 preferably has in the axial direction of its printing cylinder 04; 06 views several machine lines 30. In principle, the printing press system can be any combination of two different printing units 02; 03 or printing machines 01; 31 act. However, the printing units 02 of the first printing press 01 are preferably designed as printing towers 02, which advantageously each have at least eight printing areas (four on each side of the web 11). For example, they have two stacked H-printing units or two stacked satellite printing units. In principle, the printing towers 02 can also have four double printing units for the two-sided printing. The web 1 1 then runs between the pressure points in the printing units 02 of the first printing press 01 substantially vertically. As shown in Fig. 2, in the printing tower 02 in addition to the eight printing locations of the stacked H, satellite or bridge printing units two more pressure points, z. B. in the form of another stacked bridge printing unit, may be provided.

An illustrated machine flight M2 of the second printing press 31 or machine line 30 runs at the level of a printing cylinder 14; 16 of the second printing unit 03 in the length bisecting plane of symmetry and may be referred to in this expression as the machine center M2.

In an advantageous embodiment of a printing machine 01 as a "pure" newsprint machine 01, this has coldset printing units 02 for the newspaper printing as printing units 02. The printing units 02 designed as coldset printing units 02-in particular for newspaper printing-have the form cylinders 04 trained printing cylinder 04, for example, on its circumference in the longitudinal direction considered several - here six - printing on which in the axial direction, either only a printed image (single printing form, not shown) or a maximum of two (panoramic printing form) printed images of a newspaper page, viewed in the circumferential direction of the forme cylinder 04 respectively For example, in the axial direction, the forme cylinder 04 carries six, and in the case of the double, for example, forme cylinder 04 in the circumferential direction, for example two printing plates each with one another a print page. Simply large forme cylinders 04 have only one such printing form in the circumferential direction. The individual printing forms can be separated or in total also be replaced in pairs by panoramic printing plates with two printed pages in width. The forme cylinder 04 of the coldset pressure unit 02 has z. B. on its circumference one (simply large forme cylinder 04) or successively two (double-size forme cylinder 04) in the longitudinal direction over the entire usable for printing length channels for receiving the printing plates. Next, the forme cylinder 04 of the coldset printing unit 02 z. B. devices (eg., Passer or axially effective stops) for the lateral alignment of four printing plates next to each other. The formation of the forme cylinder 04 mentioned above with six printed pages or printing forms side by side and six stops is to be applied to a forme cylinder 04 with four printed pages side by side corresponding to four printing forms and four stops.

A printing unit 02 embodied as a coldset printing unit 02 has an inking unit (not illustrated in the figures) for coloring the printing form (s), which is filled or operated with coldset inks. The coldset color is distinguished by special auxiliaries (such as, for example, wetting agents, wax gelling agents, mineral fillers), which make it possible to dry the printed web 11 by repelling the ink into the paper. This is done in particular by the special combination of coldset ink and the paper used.

The guided through the coldset printing unit 02 web 1 1 is preferably uncoated or slightly coated paper with a maximum weight of 20 g / m ² , in particular at most 10 g / m ² , is.

As a forme cylinder 14 formed printing cylinder 14 a heatset printing unit 03 for the (semi) commercial printing can be considered in one embodiment, for example, on its circumference in the longitudinal direction advantageously only one, but at most two Compressive forms, which viewed in the axial direction z. B. at least three (in two printing plates in the longitudinal direction) or z. B. six (in only one printing form in the longitudinal direction) printed images of a tabloid page (eg magazine or telephone book page), viewed in the circumferential direction of the forme cylinder 14 in each case several, z. B. at least four, wear this printed images. Thus, the forme cylinder 14 carries, for example, both in the axial and in the circumferential direction considered only a printing plate, which z. B. side by side the print images of six and in the circumferential direction of four printed pages in tabloid format (eg., In magazine or phone book format) wears. In the case of two full-scale printing forms on the forme cylinder 14 next to one another, the printing forms have, for example, three printed pages in tabloid format next to each other. The form cylinder 14 of the heatset printing unit 03 has z. B. on its circumference extending in the longitudinal direction over the entire usable for printing length channel for receiving the printing form (s). Next, the forme cylinder 14 of the heatset printing unit 03 z. B. a device (eg., One or more register or axially effective stops) for lateral alignment of one or two printing forms next to each other.

In another embodiment, operated in the heatset printing unit 03 with respect to their forme cylinder 14 may be formed according to a forme cylinder 04 a coldset printing unit 03, and on its circumference in the axial direction of the number of printed pages corresponding number of printing plates, z. B. wear individual printing plates. In the case of a double-width printing unit 03 z. B. in the axial direction next to each other four, and in the case of a triple-width printing unit 03 z. B. six printing forms with printed pages z. B. a newspaper format.

The forme cylinder 14 of the heatset printing unit 03 may, for. B. an effective, ie for printing a web 21, z. B paper web 21, short web 21 usable bale width, which at least the corresponding number of newspaper pages to be printed on the newspaper press 01 format equivalent.

The heatset printing unit 03 or the printing unit 03 operated in the heatset has an inking unit (not shown in the figures) for coloring the printing form (s), which is filled or operated with heatset in at least one mode of operation (heatset operation). The heatset color is characterized by special oils, such. As mineral oils, which evaporate when exposed to heat and thereby leave the printed web 21 dry. The mineral oils have, for example, a boiling range of 220 ° C to 320 ° C. You can have a color related weight fraction of about 25 to 40%. Since the paint does not have to knock off to dry it is also possible to print closed-pored paper surfaces.

The guided in the heatset mode by the second printing unit 03 web 21 is preferably satin and / or more coated paper with a coating weight of more than 10 g / m ² , z. At least 15 g / m ^2. The paper may be of medium or higher quality in a grammage range greater than 40 g / m ² , e.g. B. in a grammage range of 55 - 90 g / m ² , in particular greater than 50 g / m ² lying, be formed. In contrast, the paper fed in coldset operation can advantageously be located in a grammage range of less than 50 g / m ² , in particular less than 40 g / m ² .

However, the heatset printing unit 03 is preferably operable either in heatset mode or else in the coldset mode, where it is operated, for example, in the former mode of operation with heatset ink and / or with more coated paper, and in the second-mentioned mode of operation with coldset ink and / or with uncoated or slightly coated paper is. In the coldset mode, the dryer 15 can be run through in the deactivated state or it can be bypassed in a modified path. The printing unit 03 of the machine line 25, in particular of the heatset machine line 25 and / or the second printing machine 31 designed as a heatset and / or semi-commercial printing press, is e.g. B. designed as a printing tower 03, which preferably has two stacked H-printing units. Basically, the printing tower 03, however, also four stacked double printing units for the two-sided printing, z. B. so-called. Bridge or n-printing units or two stacked satellite printing units or be formed from these.

If the second printing machine 31 is designed as a commercial printing press, the printing unit 03 has an offset double printing unit with four printing couple cylinders 14 arranged vertically one above the other; 16 and more complex inking units, for example, two-drum roller inking units with at least three located in the compactor Reibzylindern. The form cylinder 14 are z. B. similar to the front of the heatset printing unit mentioned with continuous mounting channel and the possibility of receiving a reaching across the entire width printing form. Also in this case, the commercial printing units are operated with heatset ink and the printing machine has a dryer 15. In the embodiment of the second printing machine 31 as a commercial printing press, it has e.g. a plurality of successive printing units 03 passing through a web 21 in the horizontal direction next to each other.

In an axial direction of the printing cylinder 14; 16 of the printing unit (s) 03 of the second type perpendicular machine flight M2 can either only one printing unit 03, but it can also several printing units 03 of the second type (in the manner of a line machine) or at least one printing unit 03 and a dryer 15 and / or be arranged other units such as cooling rollers and / or coating unit. Such an arrangement of one or more second printing units 03, z. B. together with an additional dryer 15, etc. in a machine flight M2 is referred to below as the machine line 25, in the special case as a heatset machine line 25. The machine flight M2 and / or the direction of passage of any existing Trockners 15 is z. B. substantially perpendicular to the machine flight M1. In linear arrangement of the first printing machine 01, the axial direction of the printing cylinder 14; 16 of the second printing unit (s) 03 substantially parallel to the machine alignment M1 of the first printing press 01.

This funnel structure 07 is oriented in such a way that a web 21 printed in the printing unit 03 of the second type can be guided in a so-called "straight-ahead manner" on the funnel structure 07. The funnel structure 07 has one or more folder formers 09, which are preferably oriented in such a way webs 21 running on the former 9; 1 1 have a transport direction T2 projected in the horizontal direction, which runs along or parallel to the machine alignment M1 of the first printing press 01.

The at least one hopper assembly 07 arranged in the machine alignment M2 is formed with a folding unit 18, which in one embodiment may be designed as a pure newspaper folding unit. Trained as Zeitungsfalzwerk folding unit 18 has one or two folders, z. B. designed as a single or double folder on. The folding unit 18 may also have a plurality of individual folding apparatuses. The folder of designed as a newspaper folder folding machine 08 has z. As a cutting cylinder, a transport cylinder, a jaw cylinder and possibly a paddle wheel. Optionally, but in particular for the formation of the folder for semicommercial products, it may additionally have means for forming a second transverse fold. The folder of the folding unit 08 is advantageously rotationally driven by at least one drive motor mechanically independent of the printing units 02.

In another embodiment, the folding unit 18 is designed as a heatset folding unit 18 (for semi-commercial products) and has advantageous in addition to cutting cylinder, transport cylinder and jaw cylinder further units, for. B. means for a 2. Longitudinal fold and / or a second transverse fold and / or a stapler and / or a Pflugfalz on. It may also be a folding unit 18 may be provided such that in the folding unit 18, two folders, z. B. a pure Zeitungsfalzapparat and a heatset folder with the above additional aggregates. Likewise, such a convertible folder may be provided, which in one operation as a newspaper folding apparatus (without the additional units) and in another mode as a heatset folder (eg with the second longitudinal fold and / or a second transverse fold and / or a stapler and / or a Pflugfalz is operable.

The at least one printing unit 02 of the second type is now arranged in the exemplary embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 4 in plan view (FIG. 1) laterally next to the alignment of the second printing unit 03 or second printing machine 31. This is to be understood that viewed in plan view, at least the pressure points of this first printing unit 02 outside of a through the effective lengths of the printing cylinder 14; 16 or the maximum web width of the second printing machine 31 formed escape. In this way, as described below, in a simple manner printed by the printing unit 02 of the first type web 1 1 from the side transversely to the machine alignment M2 of the second printing press 31 the current of the webs 21 and partial webs of the second printing machine 31 fed. A projected in the horizontal transport direction T1 printed by the printing unit 02 of the first type, on the first printing machine 31 incoming web 1 1 thus meets at a 90 ° angle to the projected into the horizontal machine flight M2 of the second printing machine 31.

B. angular, arrangement of the two printing machines 01; 31 or printing units 02; 03 different type and the turning device 10 is thus the hopper assembly 07 of the second printing machine 01 in addition to a printing unit 03 of the second type additionally a printing unit 02 of the first type, for. B. a coldset printing unit 02, assigned or assignable.

This turning device 10 can either be considered as a turning device 10 associated with the second printing press 31 in separate production of a superstructure 05 assigned to this second printing machine 31. However, it can be associated with the second printing machine 31 advantageously also next to this turning device 10, an additional, not shown turning device in the superstructure 05 to the running in the second printing machine 31 webs 21 and partial webs 21.1; 21.2 variable in different to the machine flight M2 parallel flights can turn.

The two printing machines 01; 31 is in the machine alignment M2, as shown in the figures, in addition to the funnel structure 07 associated with another funnel structure 07 '. It can, for. B. in a mode of operation of the printing press system a separate production with the one printing press 01 on the one funnel structure 07 and the other printing press 31 on the other funnel structure 07 'are produced. As described above, it is possible by the at least one turning device 10 and the special arrangement of the machines in other operation of the printing press system, webs 21; 1 1 or partial webs 21 .1; 21.2; 1 1 .1; 1 1.2; 1 1 .3 from the two printing machines 01; 31 together on a funnel assembly 07; 07 'to lead.

The two funnel structures 07; 07 '- depending on the machine width (ie the maximum web width to be printed and / or the number of pages (eg newspaper pages) - side by side in a direction perpendicular to the machine alignment M2 a same or a different number of horizontally arranged as a hopper group former 09; 09 ', and / or - depending on on the two printing machines in separate production primarily to be produced products - former 09, 09' a same or a different effective width (funnel format). Thus, for example, a funnel structure 07; 07 'a group of two formers 09 side by side and the other funnel structure 07'; 07 'only one former 09' (eg larger format) or a group of three formers 09; 09 '(eg of a smaller format). Under effective width or funnel format of the folding jig 09; 09 'here is the width in the casserole area of the former 09; 09 'transverse to the incoming (sub) web 1 1; 21 to understand. This corresponds z. B. the maximum width of a folding hopper 09; 09 'to be folded Telbahn, which in turn with each to be folded printed page format - usually a part to be folded sheet two pages of the corresponding format wide - corresponds.

For the present case of the multi-width, ie, for example, double-width or three-width first printing units 02 is on the web path between the printing unit 02 and the funnel structure 07; 07 'provided a longitudinal cutting device, not shown. For n-times (n = 2, 3,...) Executed printing unit 02 carries the form cylinder 04, for example, in an operating mode in the axial direction next to each other 2 ^* n printed pages of a particular format, especially a newspaper format, and the longitudinal cutting device is for example designed to a printed by this printing unit 02 web 1 1; 21 in n partial lanes 1 1 .1; 1 1.2; 1 1 .3 to divide longitudinally. The printing unit (s) 03 of the second type is or are m-fold (n = 1, 2, 3, ...; with m <n) executed printing unit 03 carries the forme cylinder 04, for example, in an operating mode in the axial direction side by side. 2 ^* m printed pages, in particular printing forms with printed pages, of a specific format, in particular a newspaper format. The newspaper format can either be the same as the former, but for a pop-up production (see below), it can also be a different newspaper format from the former one.

In principle, the longitudinal cutting device in the path of the web 1 1 coming from the first printing unit 02 can be upstream of the turning device 10 be arranged. In this case, the already narrow -. B. only two-sided widths - partial webs 1 1 .1; 1 1.2; 1 1.3 via the turning device (s) 10 the funnels 09; 09 'supply. However, it may also be provided upstream of a longitudinal cutting device, by means of which the web 1 1 first in a multi-wide, z. B. double-width partial web 1 1.1 and a single-width partial web 1 1.2 is cut. In particular, a multiple-width partial web 1 1 .2 m-wide, ie, a width corresponding to the m-widths second printing unit 03, be. When turning multi-width partial webs 1 1 .1 is in contrast to turning only single-width partial webs 1 1.2 the web guide stable. The multiple-width partial web 1 1.1 is then, for example, before entering the funnel structure 07; 07 'in single-width partial webs (ie two printed pages side by side) longitudinally cut.

In the case of turning multiple times, z. B. m-wide, partial webs 1 1.1, the turning device 10 at least one multiple width, z. B. m-width "multiple width" turning bar 32 'on.

In Fig. 7 are various alternatives for the embodiments of a - at least in a certain printed page format - double-width funnel structure 07. The execution according to funnel structure 07a has only in one plane a funnel group of two transverse to the direction of emergence of a web 21 juxtaposed former 09. The effective width of these two formers 09 corresponds z. B. maximum of the effective bale length of a forme cylinder 14 of the upstream of the funnel structure 07 upstream pressure unit 03. The funnel group is the folding unit 08 downstream. In the embodiment of the funnel structure 07c, this has on the track before or after the formers 09 additionally not shown longitudinal cutting means for the central longitudinal cutting of the partial webs 21.1; 21 .2 in the region of the fold back of the longitudinally folded strand. These cut on the Falzrücken and superimposed substrings of the same Former 09 can now be divided and as required with a strand or sub-strand of an adjacent Forming 19 over Guiding and / or tension rollers are summarized. This is particularly advantageous if on one or more of the possible strand guides between the formers 09 and the folding unit 08, a further processing stage such. B. a glue device or a stapler is / are arranged. In this way, depending on the distribution of the strands, a variable assignment of the partial strands to stapled / untied or glued / unsized strands takes place.

In the embodiment of the funnel structure 07b this has vertically offset from each other two hopper groups of two formers 09; 09 'next to each other.

In a not shown embodiment of the funnel structure 07, which is indicated only by dashed lines, the latter can have two superimposed groups with a different number of horizontally arranged as a funnel group of formers and / or two groups of formers of a different effective width (funnel format). For example, a first of the groups is double-widthwise with respect to a first page size and has two single width formers 09 with respect to this page size, while a single, significantly wider former, as shown above (or below), or a group of three narrower formers 09 'is arranged / are. The above applies to the effective width. With such a design of the funnel structure 07 can also i.V.m. the two printing machines 01; 31 a pop-up product will be generated.

The printing unit (s) 02 of the first type are of triple format with respect to a format, in particular a newspaper format, ie they have six printed pages side by side on their circumference in the axial direction. Advantageously, they are double-circumference, ie double-sized (see above). The printing unit 02 of the first type is preceded by at least one reel changer 12 (in particular in a parterre setting, ie placed on a same plane as the printing unit 02).

In addition to the second printing machine 31, two first machine lines 25 are arranged orthogonal to the second printing machine 31 in the manner described above. Each of the machine lines 25 has several, here two printing units 02 of the first type. The printing unit 03 of the second type is designed here as a printing tower 03 with two stacked H printing units. The printing unit 03 of the second type is narrower than that of the first type. She is trained here double-width. It may be single-round or double-round based on a newspaper page. The printing unit 03 of the second type is a roll changer 26 (in particular in the parterre setting, that is to say placed on a same level as the printing unit 03) and arranged downstream of a dryer 15.

In the illustrated operating situation, a single-width and / or a multi-width partial web 1 1.2 cut longitudinally in front of the turning device 10 of the first printing machine 01 is moved over a turning bar 32; 32 'of the turning device 10 is deflected by 90 ° and on the flight of a single or multi-width partial web 21 .1; 21.2 of the second printing machine 31 and guided on a funnel structure 07. In the present example, a multiple-width partial web 1 1 .2, 1 1.3 and / or two single-width partial webs 1 1 .2; 1/3 of a first (full) web 1 1 originating from a wider printing machine 01 on partial webs 21.1; 21 .2 a second (solid) web 21 originating from a narrower printing machine 31, wherein the web width of the uncut first web 1 1 is wider than the web width of the uncut second web 21. Specifically, one or more partial webs 1 1 .1; 1 1.2; 1 1 .3 a triple-width web 1 1 by 60 ° in an alignment of a two-width press 31 or on a merely two-width hopper assembly 07 turned. Generalized here is a partial lane 1 1.1; 1 1 .2; 1 1.3 of an n-width web 1 1 by 90 ° in the alignment of a (n-1) - wide-width printing press turned 31 and / or on a (ni) -fachbreiten hopper assembly 07 out.
