Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transferring imaging layers from a carrier film to printing sheet according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • This is designed in such a way that a film strip or a transfer film is guided through the transfer nip of the film transfer module between the impression cylinder and the transfer cylinder by a film supply roll.
  • the film strip is rewound on the exit side after leaving the film transfer module.
  • the transfer film has a carrier layer on which imaging layers such as metallic layers, for example of aluminum, can be applied.
  • the metallic layer adheres only in the area provided with the adhesive pattern.
  • the carrier film thus becomes the metallic layer in the region of the adhesive pattern taken.
  • transfer film is wound up again.
  • the print sheet is laid out in the coated state.
  • WO 2005/100024 is a printing machine with a stamping device known. In the printing machine, a film feed is shown in a coating module for transfer of imaging layers from a transfer film to a printing substrate.
  • the transfer film is preferably passed in the coating module approximately tangentially to a press roll.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device by means of which the transfer of an imaging layer, e.g. a metallization can be done safely, economically and accurately, the device should be easy to handle.
  • an imaging layer e.g. a metallization
  • a transfer method is used to guide the transfer film, in which the transfer film is processed during the film transfer by means of the transfer cylinder with an increased supply pressure.
  • the surface of the transfer cylinder may be provided with an elevated pressing surface contoured in outline, which is limited to the region to be coated.
  • a cut-out blanket, a plastic printing form or a stick-on press-on segment is suitable.
  • FIG. 1 is a sheet-processing machine, here a printing press, shown, which consists of at least two printing units.
  • a sheet to be coated is provided in a first step in the applicator 1 with an imaging adhesive pattern.
  • a printing unit of an offset printing press with inking and dampening units 11, a printing plate on a plate cylinder 12, a blanket or blanket cylinder 13 and a counter-pressure cylinder 4 can be used.
  • applicators can be used in the form of flexographic printing or painting units.
  • a transfer film 5 is guided under pressure through a transfer nip 6 together with the printing sheet.
  • a film transfer module 2 used for this purpose may be a printing unit, a paint module, a base unit or another type of processing station of a sheet-fed offset printing press.
  • the transfer nip 6 in the film transfer module 2 is formed by a transfer cylinder 3 and an impression cylinder 4.
  • the transfer cylinder 3 may correspond to a blanket or form cylinder of a known offset printing unit or paint module of a sheetfed offset printing press.
  • a web guide for transfer films 5 is shown within the film transfer module 2.
  • a film supply roll 8 is assigned to the film transfer module 2 on the page of sheet feeding.
  • the film supply roll 8 has a rotary drive 7.
  • the rotary drive 7 is required for the continuous controlled feeding of the transfer film 5 to the film transfer module 2 and is therefore controllable.
  • the transfer film 5 can be guided around the transfer cylinder 3, wherein the transfer film 5 can advantageously be fed in and out of the press nip 6 only from one side of the film transfer module 2 (see dashed representation).
  • the transfer film 5 can also be fed in and out substantially tangentially on the transfer cylinder 3 or wrap it around only in a small circumferential angle to the press nip 6.
  • the transfer film 5 is supplied from one side of the film transfer module 2 and discharged to the opposite side of the film transfer module 2.
  • a film collection roller 9 is shown, is wound up by the used sheet material.
  • a rotary drive 7 is provided, which is controllable.
  • the imagewise applied adhesive layer can be predried by means of a first dryer 16 (intermediate dryer I) so that the wear layer of the transfer film 5 adheres better.
  • the adhesive effect of the applied wear layer on the printed sheet can be improved by the action of a second dryer 16 (intermediate dryer II) by additionally accelerating the drying of the adhesive.
  • the transfer cylinder 3 is therefore provided with a press fabric 10 or as a roller with a corresponding coating.
  • the press fabric 10 or press coating can be performed, for example, as a plastic coating, comparable to a blanket or blanket.
  • the surface of the press fabric 10 is preferably very hard and smooth. It can be made of antiadhesive substances or structures.
  • the press fabric 10 is held on the transfer cylinder 3 in a cylinder channel on jigs.
  • the press fabric 10 may be equipped to improve the transmission properties in the transfer nip 6 with a targeted elasticity. This may optionally act in a compressible intermediate layer. This compressibility is preferably similar or less than in conventional blankets or Drucktüchem that can be used at this point.
  • the mentioned compressibility can be produced by means of a conventional compressible printing blanket. Furthermore, combined fabrics made of a hard blanket and a soft pad can be used. Furthermore, a limited, segmented pressing surface 21 may be provided on the transfer cylinder 3 or the press fabric 10 instead of a full-surface pressing surface 20.
  • a pressure pad 22 provided with a magnetic adhesive surface on its underside may e.g. be placed directly on the surface of the transfer cylinder 3.
  • a magnetic film can also be clamped onto the surface of the transfer cylinder 3, to which a contact pressure segment 22 with a magnetically adhering rear side can then be placed to mount or position the segmented pressing surface 21.
  • the surface and the internal structure of the An horrsegmentes 22 should correspond to the information described above in terms of elasticity and smoothness.
  • a compressible blanket pad 23 may be provided which carries a preferably smooth relatively firm functional layer 24.
  • the associated device fundamentally includes a corresponding feed control for the transfer film 5, which ensures that at least the film piece lying between the transfer cylinder 3 and the impression cylinder 4 is stationary as long as the cylinder channel 19 passes through.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 is a section through a transfer cylinder 3 and by the press fabric 10 and the reference on the surface of the transfer cylinder 3 is shown.
  • the transfer cylinder 3 is provided with a press fabric 10, for example as a plastic coating, comparable to a blanket or blanket.
  • the press fabric 10 is held in a cylinder channel 19 at clamping devices.
  • the press fabric 10 is equipped to improve the transmission properties in the transfer nip 6 with a targeted elasticity. This may optionally act in a compressible intermediate layer. This compressibility is preferably similar or less than in conventional blankets or blankets, which can also be used at this point.
  • a different kind of compressibility can be produced by means of a conventional compressible printing blanket.
  • a press fabric 10 is made of a blanket having a relatively thin, hard surface, which consists of a plastic coating as a functional layer 24.
  • This functional layer 24 is provided with a compressible substructure consisting of a compact elastic material or of closed-cell or open-cell foam. Only below should the force-transmitting layer, for example a fabric layer, be arranged.
  • a very high strength of the printing blanket or press fabric 10 is achieved. This has the particular advantage that the adaptation of the transfer film 5 to the respective substrate surface or the applied adhesive succeeds particularly well.
  • the surface of the press fabric 10, for example of the plastic coating 14 should be as smooth as possible.
  • the plastic coating 14 has a low surface roughness with a surface roughness in the range of 1 micron or smaller.
  • the material of the press fabric 10 has the lowest possible adhesion to the material of the carrier film of the transfer film 5.
  • the surfaces of blankets are very smooth in themselves, but they often have a kind of cut pattern from the processing and are on the other hand also equipped to accept ink. Therefore, in this way, for example, the transfer film may adhere to conventional blankets. This in turn can lead to damage during transfer of the imaging layer from the transfer sheet 5 to the printed sheet B.
  • a very flexible transfer nip 6 is generated. Furthermore, an enlargement of the transfer nip 6 in the direction of a relatively flat extension is generated by a diameter, for example, of the counter-pressure cylinder 4 that is twice the size of the transfer cylinder 3.
  • a somewhat higher pressure provision can be selected between the transfer cylinder 3 and the impression cylinder 4 than is necessary in a conventional printing process. For example, allowable values of 0.10 mm to 0.14 mm can be used compared to a standard value of 0.10 mm.
  • a change in the surface or peripheral speed on the transfer cylinder 3 can be achieved by a development change on the transfer cylinder 3.
  • the press fabric 10 can be up to 2.8 ⁇ above the nominal diameter of a normally covered transfer cylinder 3 is reinforced. This then means that z. B. at a nominal diameter of 300 mm, an increase in the packing thickness 25 of the press fabric of 0.84 mm compared to the nominal diameter.
  • the surface of the press fabric 10 of the transfer cylinder 3 is very smooth and without - as known from conventional blankets ago - grinding pattern is executed. Furthermore, here also a very low compressibility of the press fabric can be advantageous to bring the comparatively small deviations safely in the transfer nip 6 to the effect. In this case, the known compression of the press fabric 10 in the transfer nip 6 can be safely controlled.
  • the same effect in the film transfer in the transfer nip 6 finally can also be achieved by means of a device for speed superposition, which can be assigned to the transfer cylinder 3.
  • the transfer cylinder 3 can preferably be provided with a special drive.
  • transmissions can be used which can be designed, for example, in the form of superposition transmissions.
  • so-called harmonic drive gearboxes come into question.
  • other continuously adjustable superposition gear as link chain transmission.
  • an independently controllable direct drive can be provided on the transfer cylinder 3.
  • the adaptation of the circumferential speed of the surface of the transfer cylinder 3 with respect to the actual transport speed in the transfer nip 6 should in this case be in the range of about 0 to + 3.5 ⁇ .
  • differential speed can be adjusted during operation even with changing conditions such as fluctuating process temperatures or changing operating speeds.
  • control mechanisms may be provided on the transfer module 2.
  • the most favorable web tension for transfer foils with a thickness of 15 ⁇ m is in the range of 10 to 45 Nm with a variation of +/- 10%.
  • An adjustment of the web tension above the value set during the production can lead to a stretching and additional loading of the carrier film 5 and the transfer coating, as well as the adhesion between the two layers. Possibly. can make massive changes to the transfer sheet 5 or cracks in the transfer layer.
  • the press fabric 10 has already been reported above.
  • Essential is a uniform closed surface, so preferably a full-surface arrangement of the press fabric.
  • the surface should be very smooth and preferably have no microsection.
  • the compressibility is to be kept at a low level.
  • the surface may be formed of polymers.
  • the hardness of the press fabric can be in the range of 60 to 90 Shore.
  • the transfer cylinder 3 assumes a transport function for the transfer film 5 such that it is no longer preferably in the transfer nip 6 under the tension of the web tension control. On the contrary, due to the minimal speed difference, the transfer cylinder 3 conveys the transfer film 5 into the transfer nip 6, so that the image-forming layer can be transferred there almost free from tensile stress and applied to the printing material without cracking.
