Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Druckmaschine, insbesondere eine Bogendruckmaschine, mit mehreren Druckwerken (10, 11, 12, 13), wobei jedes Druckwerk einen Formzylinder (17), einen auf dem Formzylinder (17) abrollenden Übertragungszylinder (15), einen auf dem Übertragungszylinder (15) abrollenden Gegendruckzylinder (14), ein Farbwerk (16) sowie vorzugsweise ein Feuchtwerk aufweist, und mit mehreren Antrieben (19, 20), die in Druckwerke, nämlich in einen Zylinder derselben, eintreiben, wobei jedem Antrieb (19, 20) ein separater Antriebsregler zugeordnet ist, der auf Basis einer Abweichung zwischen einem Sollwert und einem Istwert ein Stellsignal für den entsprechenden Antrieb erzeugt. Erfindungsgemäß ist mindestens einem Antriebsregler (22) eine Einrichtung (25) zugeordnet, die online während des Betriebs der Druckmaschine aus mindestens einer Zustandsgröße des Antriebsregelkreises, in den der jeweilige Antriebsregler (22) eingebunden ist, eine Drehschwingungskompensationsgröße generiert, die ausschließlich in diesem Antriebsregelkreis zur Drehschwingungskompensation gültig ist.

The invention relates to a printing machine, in particular a sheet-fed printing press, with a plurality of printing units (10, 11, 12, 13), each printing unit having a forme cylinder (17), a transfer cylinder (15) rolling on the forme cylinder (17), 15) rolling counter-pressure cylinder (14), an inking unit (16) and preferably a dampening unit, and having a plurality of drives (19, 20), which in printing units, namely in a cylinder thereof, driving, each drive (19, 20) a is associated with a separate drive controller, which generates an actuating signal for the corresponding drive based on a deviation between a setpoint and an actual value. According to the invention, at least one drive controller (22) is assigned a device (25) which generates a torsional vibration compensation variable during operation of the printing machine from at least one state variable of the drive control loop into which the respective drive controller (22) is integrated Torsional vibration compensation is valid.
