Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Bogendruckmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for operating a sheet-fed printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Bogendruckmaschine verfügt über einen Anleger, einen Ausleger sowie mehrere zwischen dem Anleger und dem Ausleger positionierte Druckwerke. Zum Bedrucken von Druckbogen werden dieselben vom Anleger in die Bogendruckmaschine eingeschleust und nacheinander durch die Druckwerke bewegt, wobei nach dem Bedrucken der Druckbogen dieselben im Bereich des Auslegers aus der Bogendruckmaschine ausgeschleust werden.A sheetfed press has a feeder, a jib, and several printing units positioned between the feeder and the jib. For printing sheets are introduced from the feeder into the sheet-fed press and moved sequentially through the printing units, wherein after printing the sheets are ejected in the same area of the boom from the sheet-fed press.

Zusätzlich kann eine Bogendruckmaschine mindestens eine ebenfalls zwischen dem Anleger und dem Ausleger positionierte Inlineverarbeitungseinrichtung umfassen, wobei eine solche Inlineverarbeitungseinrichtung als ein Lackwerk und/oder eine Schneideinrichtung und/oder eine Perforationseinrichtung ausgeführt sein kann.In addition, a sheet-fed printing press may comprise at least one inline processing device likewise positioned between the feeder and the delivery device, wherein such inline processing device may be embodied as a coating unit and / or a cutting device and / or a perforation device.

Aus der Praxis sind Bogendruckmaschinen bekannt, die zusätzlich zu mindestens einem Hauptantrieb weiterhin den Druckwerken zugeordnete Zusatzantriebe, insbesondere Direktantriebe, aufweisen. Die den Druckwerken zugeordnete Zusatzantriebe treiben zum Beispiel in Formzylinder der Druckwerke ein. Beim Drucken mit einer solchen Druckmaschine werden typischerweise bis auf die Formzylinder der Druckwerke sämtliche Baugruppen von dem oder jedem Hauptantrieb angetrieben, die Formzylinder der Druckwerke werden hingegen von den denselben zugeordneten Zusatzantrieben, insbesondere den Direktantrieben, eigenmotorisch angetrieben.Sheet-fed printing presses are known from practice which, in addition to at least one main drive, also have additional drives assigned to the printing units, in particular direct drives. The printing drives associated auxiliary drives drive, for example, in the form of cylinders of the printing units. When printing with such a printing press typically all components are driven by the or each main drive except for the form cylinder of the printing units, the form cylinder of the printing units, however, driven by the same associated auxiliary drives, especially the direct drives, self-propelled.

An Bogendruckmaschinen müssen üblicherweise zwischen zwei Druckaufträgen Rüstvorgänge abgearbeitet werden, so z. B. an den Druckwerken der Bogendruckmaschine ein Farbwerkwaschen und/oder ein Übertragungsformwaschen und/oder ein Druckplattenwechsel und/oder ein Farbeinlauf. Darüber hinaus müssen im Bereich des Anlegers und/oder Auslegers und/oder der oder jeder Inlineverarbeitungseinrichtung Rüstvorgänge durchgeführt werden, so z. B. bei einer als Lackwerk ausgebildeten Inlineverarbeitungseinrichtung ein Lackformwechsel.At sheet-fed presses usually have to be processed between two print jobs setup operations, such. B. at the printing units of the sheet-fed press an inking unit washing and / or a transfer mold washing and / or a printing plate change and / or a paint feed. In addition, in the area of the investor and / or boom and / or the or each inline processing equipment setup operations must be carried out, such. B. in a designed as a coating unit inline processing device a coating form change.

Bei Ausführung der Rüstvorgänge müssen die beteiligten Baugruppen angetrieben werden, wobei sich infolge der Vielzahl der durchzuführenden Rüstaufgaben sowie der begrenzten Anzahl der zur Verfügung stehenden Antriebe relativ lange Rüstzeiten ergeben können. Es besteht daher ein Bedarf an einem Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Bogendruckmaschine, mit welchem Rüstvorgänge an einer Bogendruckmaschine innerhalb kurzer Zeit und demnach zeitoptimiert durchgeführt werden können.When executing the set-up operations, the modules involved must be driven, resulting in relatively long set-up times due to the large number of setup tasks to be performed and the limited number of available drives. There is therefore a need for a method for operating a sheet-fed printing press, with which set-up operations on a sheet-fed printing machine can be carried out within a short time and thus in a time-optimized manner.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung das Problem zugrunde, ein neuartiges Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Bogendruckmaschine zu schaffen.On this basis, the present invention is based on the problem to provide a novel method for operating a sheet-fed press.

Dieses Problem wird durch ein Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Erfindungsgemäß werden zur Ausführung von Rüstvorgängen an den Druckwerken die zu rüstenden Baugruppen derselben so weit wie möglich von den Zusatzantrieben der jeweiligen Druckwerke angetrieben, wobei zur Ausführung von Rüstvorgängen am Anleger und/oder am Ausleger und/oder an der oder jeder Inlineverarbeitungseinrichtung die zu rüstenden Baugruppen derselben von dem Hauptantrieb oder mindestens einem der Hauptantriebe angetrieben werden, sodass Rüstvorgänge an den Druckwerken und Rüstvorgängen am Anleger und/oder am Ausleger und/oder an der oder jeder Inlineverarbeitungseinrichtung so weit wie möglich parallelisiert bzw. zeitgleich durchgeführt werden.This problem is solved by a method according to claim 1. According to the invention, the assemblies to be retrofitted thereof are driven as far as possible by the auxiliary drives of the respective printing units to carry out set-up operations on the printing units, wherein the assemblies to be retrofitted for execution of set-up operations on the feeder and / or on the boom and / or on the or each inline processing device be driven by the main drive or at least one of the main drives so that setup operations on the printing units and setup operations on the feeder and / or on the boom and / or on the or each inline processing device as far as possible parallelized or performed simultaneously.

Mit der hier vorliegenden Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, soweit wie möglich sämtliche Rüstvorgänge an den Druckwerken mit Hilfe der den Druckwerken zugeordneten Zusatzantriebe, insbesondere Direktantriebe, auszuführen. Parallel hierzu und demnach gleichzeitig hiermit werden mit Hilfe des oder jedes Hauptantriebs Rüstvorgänge an dem Anleger und/oder an dem Ausleger und/oder an der oder jeder Inlineverarbeitungseinrichtung durchgeführt. Hierdurch kann die zum Rüsten einer Bogendruckmaschine erforderliche Rüstzeit auf ein absolutes Minimum reduziert werden.With the present invention, it is proposed, as far as possible to carry out all set-up operations on the printing units with the aid of the additional drives associated with the printing units, in particular direct drives. Parallel to this, and thus at the same time hereby be with the help of or each main drive Setup operations performed on the feeder and / or on the boom and / or on the or each inline processing device. As a result, the set-up time required for setting up a sheet-fed press can be reduced to an absolute minimum.

Die hier vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Bogendruckmaschine, wobei eine Bogendruckmaschine einen Anleger, einen Ausleger sowie mehrere zwischen dem Anleger und dem Ausleger positionierte Druckwerke sowie gegebenenfalls mindestens eine ebenfalls zwischen dem Anleger und dem Ausleger positionierte Inlineverarbeitungseinrichtung umfasst. Bei einer solchen Inlineverarbeitungseinrichtung kann es sich z. B. um ein Lackwerk und/oder eine Schneideinrichtung und/oder eine Perforationseinrichtung handeln.The present invention relates to a method for operating a sheet-fed printing press, wherein a sheet-fed printing press comprises a feeder, a boom and a plurality of printing units positioned between the feeder and the boom, and optionally at least one inline processing device also positioned between the feeder and the boom. In such an inline processing device, it may, for. B. to a coating unit and / or a cutting device and / or a perforation act.

Nachfolgend wird die hier vorliegende Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 1 für eine Bogendruckmaschine beschrieben, die einen Anleger 10, einen Ausleger 11, zwei zwischen dem Anleger 10 und dem Ausleger 11 positionierte Druckwerke 12 und eine ebenfalls zwischen dem Anleger 10 und dem Ausleger 11 positionierte, als Lackwerk 13 ausgebildete Inlineverarbeitungseinrichtung umfasst.Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to FIG Fig. 1 for a sheet-fed printing machine, which includes a feeder 10, a boom 11, two positioned between the feeder 10 and the boom 11 printing units 12 and also positioned between the feeder 10 and the boom 11, formed as a coating unit 13 inline processing device.

Jedes der Druckwerke 12 der Bogendruckmaschine umfasst gemäß Fig. 1 einen Gegendruckzylinder 14, einen Übertragungszylinder 15, ein Farbwerk 16 sowie einen Formzylinder 17. Zusätzlich kann jedes Druckwerk auch ein Feuchtwerk umfassen. Zwischen den Gegendruckzylindern 14 zweier benachbarter Druckwerke 12 ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 jeweils ein Transferzylinder 18 positioniert, um zu bedruckende Druckbogen zwischen den einzelnen Druckwerken 12 zu überführen.Each of the printing units 12 of the sheet-fed printing machine comprises according to Fig. 1 an impression cylinder 14, a transfer cylinder 15, an inking unit 16 and a forme cylinder 17. In addition, each printing unit may also include a dampening unit. Between the counter-pressure cylinders 14 of two adjacent printing units 12 is in the illustrated embodiment of Fig. 1 in each case a transfer cylinder 18 is positioned in order to transfer printed sheets to be printed between the individual printing units 12.

Gemäß Fig. 1 weist die Druckmaschine einen Hauptantrieb 19 auf, wobei der Hauptantrieb 19 in den Gegendruckzylinder 14 eines der Druckwerke 12 eintreibt. Über den Hauptantrieb 19 sind zumindest alle Gegendruckzylinder 14, Übertragungszylinder 15 sowie die Transferzylinder 18 im Sinne eines geschlossenen Räderzugs antreibbar. Ebenfalls sind der Anleger 10, der Ausleger 11 und das Lackwerk 13 vom Hauptantrieb 19 antreibbar. Es ist möglich, dass zusätzlich zu dem Hauptantrieb 19 ein weiterer Hauptantrieb vorhanden ist, um dezentral in den geschlossenen Räderzug einzutreiben.According to Fig. 1 The printing machine has a main drive 19, the main drive 19 driving into the impression cylinder 14 of one of the printing units 12. About the main drive 19, at least all the impression cylinder 14, transfer cylinder 15 and the transfer cylinder 18 in the sense of a closed Räderzugs be driven. Also, the feeder 10, the boom 11 and the coating unit 13 from the main drive 19 can be driven. It is possible that in addition to the main drive 19, a further main drive is provided to drive decentralized in the closed gear train.

Gemäß Fig. 1 ist jedem Formzylinder 17 der Druckwerke 12 ein separater, als Direktantrieb 20 ausgebildeter Zusatzantrieb zugeordnet, um die Formzylinder 17 aller Druckwerke 12 eigenmotorisch anzutreiben. Jeder Formzylinder 17 jedes Druckwerks 12 ist dabei über eine Kupplung 21 vom geschlossenen Räderzug, in den die Gegendruckzylinder 14, die Übertragungszylinder 15, die Farbwerke 16 sowie die Transferzylinder 18 eingebunden sind, abkuppelbar.According to Fig. 1 Each form cylinder 17 of the printing units 12 is assigned a separate, designed as a direct drive 20 auxiliary drive to drive the form cylinder 17 of all printing units 12 own motor. Each form cylinder 17 of each printing unit 12 is detachable via a clutch 21 from the closed gear train, in which the impression cylinder 14, the transfer cylinder 15, the inking units 16 and the transfer cylinder 18 are integrated.

Wie Fig. 1 entnommen werden kann, sind neben den Kupplungen 21 weitere Kupplungen 22 vorhanden, mit denen auch die Farbwerke 16 vom geschlossenen Räderzug abgekuppelt und an die Formzylinder 17 werden können.As Fig. 1 can be removed, in addition to the clutches 21 more couplings 22 are provided with which the inking units 16 can be uncoupled from the closed gear train and to the form cylinder 17.

Die als Lackwerk 13 ausgebildete Weiterverarbeitungseinrichtung verfügt ebenfalls über einen Gegendruckzylinder 23 und einen Formzylinder 24, wobei auf dem Formzylinder 24 eine Lackform positioniert ist.Trained as a coating unit 13 further processing device also has an impression cylinder 23 and a forme cylinder 24, wherein on the forme cylinder 24, a paint form is positioned.

Im Druckbetrieb der Bogendruckmaschine werden, wie bereits ausgeführt, sämtliche Gegendruckzylinder 14 sowie 23 der Druckwerke 12 sowie des Lackwerks 13, sämtliche Transferzylinder 18, sämtliche Übertragungszylinder 15 der Druckwerke 12, sämtliche Farbwerke 16 der Druckwerke 12 sowie der Formzylinder 24 des Lackwerks 13 vom Hauptantrieb 19 angetrieben, wobei hierzu die Kupplungen 21 der Druckwerke 12 geöffnet und die Kupplungen 22 derselben geschlossen sind. Im Druckbetrieb sind demnach die Formzylinder 17 der Druckwerke 12 antriebsseitig vom Hauptantrieb und damit vom Rest der Bogendruckmaschine entkoppelt, wobei die Formzylinder 17 der Druckwerke 12 von ihren Direktantrieben 20 eigenmotorisch angetrieben werden.In the printing operation of the sheet-fed printing machine, as already stated, all impression cylinders 14 and 23 of the printing units 12 and the coating unit 13, all transfer cylinders 18, all transfer cylinders 15 of the printing units 12, all inking units 16 of the printing units 12 and the forme cylinder 24 of the Lackwerks 13 driven by the main drive 19, for which purpose the clutches 21 of the printing units 12 are opened and the clutches 22 thereof are closed. In the printing operation, therefore, the forme cylinder 17 of the printing units 12 on the drive side of the main drive and thus decoupled from the rest of the sheetfed press, the form cylinder 17 of the printing units 12 are driven by their direct drives 20 own motor.

Die Erfindung betrifft nun ein Verfahren, mit Hilfe dessen an einer Bogendruckmaschine Rüstvorgänge zeitoptimiert ausgeführt werden können.The invention now relates to a method by means of which setup processes can be carried out in a time-optimized manner on a sheet-fed printing machine.

Im Sinne des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird vorgeschlagen, zur Ausführung von Rüstvorgängen an den Druckwerken 12 zu rüstende Baugruppen derselben soweit wie möglich von den Direktantrieben 20 der jeweiligen Druckwerke 12 anzutreiben. Zur Ausführung von Rüstvorgängen am Anleger 10, am Ausleger 11 sowie am Lackwerk 13 werden zu rüstende Baugruppen derselben vom Hauptantrieb 19 angetrieben.For the purposes of the method according to the invention, it is proposed, as far as possible, to drive components of them to be prepared for the execution of set-up operations on the printing units 12 by the direct drives 20 of the respective printing units 12. To perform set-up operations on the feeder 10, on the boom 11 and on the coating unit 13 to be equipped assemblies of the same are driven by the main drive 19.

Dies erfolgt derart, dass Rüstvorgänge an den Druckwerken 12 und Rüstvorgänge am Anleger 10 und/oder am Ausleger 11 und/oder am Lackwerk 13 soweit wie möglich parallelisiert bzw. zeitgleich durchgeführt werden. Hierdurch ist es möglich, Rüstvorgänge an der Druckmaschine innerhalb kürzester Zeit auszuführen.This is done in such a way that setup operations on the printing units 12 and setup operations on the feeder 10 and / or on the boom 11 and / or on the coating unit 13 are as far as possible parallelized or carried out at the same time. This makes it possible to perform setup operations on the press within a very short time.

Bei den Rüstvorgängen, die an den Druckwerken 12 unter Zuhilfenahme der Direktantriebe 20 der Druckwerke 12 durchgeführt werden, handelt es sich um den Rüstvorgang Farbwerkwaschen, um den Rüstvorgang Farbeinlauf und um den Rüstvorgang Druckplattenwechsel. Bei Rüstvorgängen, die an den Druckwerken 12 unter Zuhilfenahme des Hauptantriebs 19 ausgeführt werden müssen, handelt es sich um ein Übertragungsformwaschen von auf den Übertragungszylindern 15 positionierten Übertragungsformen. Bei einem Rüstvorgang, der bei der als Lackwerk 13 ausgebildeten Inlineverarbeitungseinrichtung ausgeführt werden muss, handelt es sich z. B. um einen Lackformwechsel im Bereich des Formzylinders 24.In the setup operations that are performed on the printing units 12 with the aid of the direct drives 20 of the printing units 12, it is the setup process inking unit washing, the setup process Farbeinlauf and the setup process printing plate change. During set-up operations, which must be carried out on the printing units 12 with the aid of the main drive 19, it is a transfer mold washing of positioned on the transfer cylinders 15 transmission forms. In a set-up, which must be performed at the designed as a coating unit 13 inline processing device, it is z. B. to a paint mold change in the form of the forme cylinder 24th

Um nun Rüstvorgänge zeitoptimiert abarbeiten zu können, werden zuerst solche Rüstvorgänge unter Verwendung des Hauptantriebs 19 an den Druckwerken 12 ausgeführt, für welche die beteiligten Baugruppen der Druckwerke 12 vom Hauptantrieb 19 angetrieben werden müssen. Hierbei handelt es sich um das Übertragungsformwaschen an den Übertragungszylindern 15, wobei das Übertragungsformwaschen auch als Gummituchwaschen bezeichnet wird. Nach Abschluss des Rüstvorgangs Übertragungsformwaschen wird der Hauptantrieb 19 freigegeben, sodass mit Hilfe desselben nunmehr Rüstvorgänge am Anleger 10 und/oder am Ausleger 11 und/oder an der als Lackwerk 13 ausgebildeten Inlineverarbeitungseinrichtung durchgeführt werden können. Dabei kann z. B. der Hauptantrieb 19 genutzt werden, um am Lackwerk 13 einen Lackformwechsel auszuführen. Zeitgleich hierzu werden die Direktantriebe 20 der Druckwerke 12 verwendet, um parallelisiert bzw. zeitgleich mit den Rüstvorgängen am Anleger 10 und/oder Ausleger 11 und/oder Lackwerk 13 Rüstvorgänge an den Druckwerken 12 unter Verwendung der Direktantriebe 20 auszuführen, wobei es sich hierbei insbesondere um die Rüstvorgänge Farbwerkwaschen, Druckplattenwechsel sowie Farbeinlauf handelt. Ein Farbeinlauf wird auch als Vorfärben bezeichnet.In order to be able to execute set-up operations in a time-optimized manner, such set-up processes are first carried out using the main drive 19 on the printing units 12, for which the participating assemblies of the printing units 12 must be driven by the main drive 19. This is the transfer mold washing on the transfer cylinders 15, wherein the transfer mold washing is also referred to as blanket washing. After completion of the setup process transfer mold washing the main drive 19 is released, so that with the help of the same now setup operations on the feeder 10 and / or on the boom 11 and / or on the formed as a coating unit 13 inline processing device can be performed. It can be z. B. the main drive 19 can be used to run on the coating unit 13 a paint form change. At the same time, the direct drives 20 of the printing units 12 are used to perform parallelized or at the same time with the set-up operations on the feeder 10 and / or boom 11 and / or coating unit 13 setup operations on the printing units 12 using the direct drives 20, which in particular the set-up operations inking unit washing, printing plate change and ink inlet acts. A paint feed is also called pre-inking.

Sobald alle Rüstvorgänge abgeschlossen sind, werden die Formzylinder 17 und Farbwerke 16 der Druckeinheiten 12 zum Hauptantrieb 19 synchronisiert, sodass anschließend wieder der Druckbetrieb aufgenommen werden kann.As soon as all set-up operations have been completed, the forme cylinders 17 and inking units 16 of the printing units 12 are synchronized with the main drive 19, so that subsequently the printing operation can be resumed.

Unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 1 wurde die Erfindung für den Fall beschreiben, dass die den Druckwerken zugeordneten Zusatzantriebe als den Formzylindern zugeordnete Direktantriebe ausgeführt sind. Im Unterscheid hierzu ist es auch möglich, dass z. B. als Direktantriebe ausgebildete Zusatzantriebe den Übertragungszylindern zugeordnet sind, die beim Drucken in die Übertragungszylinder eintreiben. Ebenso ist es möglich, dass die Zusatzantriebe den Farbwerken der Druckwerke zugeordnet sind, die beim Drucken in Walzen der Farbwerke eintreiben.With reference to Fig. 1 the invention was described for the case that the additional drives associated with the printing units are designed as direct drives associated with the forme cylinders.
