Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for positioning a printing plate on a plate cylinder of a printing press, as for example in the EP-A-1593505 is described.
  • a printing set of printing plates or printing plates for the various printing inks is usually produced from a colored original.
  • the individual printing plates must be adjusted to each other on the corresponding plate cylinders so that the prints produced in the different colors exactly match, otherwise there will be blurred images and / or incorrect colors.
  • the coincidence of the positioning must be in the range of 1/100 mm, so that the positioning must be carried out with high precision.
  • the printed image is applied to the printing plate by means of a laser or photochemically, wherein additionally two position markings are applied outside the printed image, which contain additional information.
  • two pass punches are attached to one side edge, by means of which the pressure plate then later for positioning appropriate dowel pins applied to the plate cylinder and then tightened.
  • the pressure plate is applied to edge stops. Since the edges of a printing plate are usually not processed so precisely that the desired accuracy of the assignment between printed image and pass punching is achieved, this assignment is detected in a reading station by means of a camera system, and the information read is passed as a record to a computer device.
  • the required correction settings for the plate cylinder of the printing press are calculated on which the printing plate is to be mounted. With the aid of these correction settings, the various adjustment mechanisms for the plate cylinder can then be set.
  • An object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method for the exact positioning of a printing plate on a plate cylinder, in which even with tolerance deviations and zero-point deviations on the plate cylinder even a quick and easy positioning is possible.
  • the inventive method has the advantage that in addition to the detection of tolerances and inaccuracies of the printing plate and position correction data of the plate cylinder itself are taken into account, which are either read into the computer device (27) or already stored there, from these data in the case of existing punched punches Setting data for the plate cylinder or, in the case of not yet existing punch punches Setting data for a punching tool for attaching the punched punches are calculated. Since these adjustment data take into account all tolerances and errors of printing plate and plate cylinder, further settings and adjustments can be omitted after the application of the pressure plate to the dowel pins of the plate cylinder and clamping the pressure plate. This results in substantial paper savings and labor savings for otherwise required adjustments and adjustments.
  • pass punchings are applied after applying the printed image and the at least one reference position on the pressure plate, said pass punching when detecting the at least one reference position in one with the Reading device provided reading station are applied as a facility serving dowel pins of the reading station.
  • the pressure plate was applied at the edge of positioning means when applying the printed image and when attaching the punch punches.
  • the plate cylinder is automatically positioned manually in accordance with the calculated position correction data motor or even in a simpler version.
  • the printing plate when the print image is applied and when the at least one reference position is detected by means of the reading device, the printing plate is applied on the edge to positioning means. Then, in a combined reading and punching station provided with the reading device, the punching punches are attached, which then already contain all corrections with respect to tolerances of the printing plate and of the plate cylinder.
  • a motor relative positioning of the pressure plate is advantageously carried out to a punching tool, that is, either the pressure plate is positioned relative to the punching tool or vice versa.
  • a camera system is expediently used to detect the at least one reference position.
  • This is preferably designed as a mark and / or coding, for example in the form of two reference marks.
  • These fiducial marks advantageously contain an encoding, which includes one or more of the following data: disk characteristics, image position, disk outside edges, intended ink, the intended plate cylinder, the intended ducking machine, and / or job data. If data on the intended plate cylinder are already included in this coding, they no longer need to be read from a memory device of the intended plate cylinder, but can be detected directly when detecting the position marks.
  • printing plate 10 is applied in a first workstation 11 with its outer edges to a conditioning device 12 and thereby positioned, in principle, an optical positioning is possible.
  • a print image 13 and two fiducial marks 14, 15 are applied by laser processing or by a chemical process, the two Reference marks 14, 15 are in fixed spatial association with the printed image 13 and are mounted outside thereof. If they are realized very small, so they can in principle also be within the printed image, if they do not disturb this. This is described in detail in the prior art mentioned above.
  • the reference marks 14, 15, which may also vary in number, are each provided with a coding, whereby also only one of the reference marks 14, 15 can be provided with this coding.
  • the data code of this coding contains various information which ensure, for example, correct assignment of the printing plate 10 to a plate cylinder 16 of a printing press 17. Furthermore, this data code may also contain information about dimensions, orientation, format and / or color of the printing plate and position correction data of the plate cylinder 16, for which the printing plate 10 is provided. Job data can also be included.
  • the fiducial marks 14, 15 may also contain no coding.
  • two punch punches 19, 20 are attached by means of a punching device 21 to an outer edge of the pressure plate 10 in a second workstation 18.
  • the printing plate 10 is again applied to a conditioning device 22 for positioning.
  • the pressure plate 10 Since the outer edges of the pressure plate 10 usually have tolerances in the range of 1/10 mm, the required exact assignment of punch punches 19, 20 to the reference marks 14, 15 and thus to the printed image 13 is not guaranteed in the desired accuracy, which is in the range of 1 / 100 mm must lie. Also the reference edges of the equipment 12 or 22 generally do not tolerate negligible. In order to detect deviations in this regard, the pressure plate 10 is now applied in a third workstation 23 to there existing dowel pins 24, 25 by means of the punch punches 19, 20. The dowel pins 24, 25 are designed as sensors and generate an enable signal when they fully and accurately engage in the punch punches 19, 20.
  • a trained as a camera system reading device 26 is triggered to detect the position of the reference marks 14, 15 in relation to the dowel pins 24, 25 or punch punches 19, 20.
  • the reading device 26 stands in a fixed spatial relationship to the dowel pins 24, 25 simultaneously the coded data of the fiducial marks 14, 15 are read out.
  • the read information is then forwarded by this trained as a reading station third workstation 23 to a computer device 27.
  • Position correction data about this plate cylinder 16 are likewise fed to the computer device 27 by a control device 28 of the plate cylinder 16 provided for the pressure plate 10.
  • Such plate cylinder 16 have a zero-point setting, wherein clamping means for the pressure plate 10 on the plate cylinder 16, required dowel pins on the plate cylinder 16 and bearing positions of this plate cylinder 16 also have tolerances that must be compensated for the exact positioning of the pressure plate 10. These tolerances are reported to the computing device 27 as position correction data of the plate cylinder.
  • These position correction data are known and based on earlier exact measurements. They may also be included as codes in the fiducials 14, 15. In this case, they are the computer device 27 already and must can not be read out of the control device 28 or the plate cylinder 16. They may also already be stored in a memory of the computer device 27.
  • adjustment data for the plate cylinder 16 are now calculated, in which all these detected tolerances and errors are taken into account.
  • the computer device 27 now controls the control device 28 for the plate cylinder 16 in such a way that its position or the position of the dowel pins arranged there is corrected to compensate the detected tolerances and errors.
  • the control device 28 actuates motorized adjustment means, which are not shown for the sake of simplicity.
  • a printing machine 17 may have a plurality of printing units 29-31, of which only three are shown for the sake of simplicity.
  • Each printing unit 29-31 contains a plate cylinder 16, 32, 33.
  • the number of printing units 29-31 depends, for example, on the desired color quality, ie on the number of different colors that are to be applied.
  • the described method and the corresponding described device can also be used or operated simultaneously for a plurality of printing units and / or printing presses. Of course, this also applies to the second embodiment described below.
  • a second workstation 40 is formed as a combined reading and punching station.
  • the reference marks 14, 15 and their positions are first detected by means of the reading device 26, ie before the punch punches 19, 20 are applied.
  • the acquired data are fed to the computer device 27 as reference data, whereby any coding data of the reference marks 14 present here are also present 15 are read out and supplied to the computer device 27.
  • the computer device 27 are now, as in the first embodiment, either position correction data of the plate cylinder 16 supplied by the controller 28 or previously by reading the coding data of the reference marks 14, 15 or this position correction data are already stored in the computer device 27.
  • the computer device 27 controls a position control device 41 for controlling and adjusting the position of a contact device 42 for the pressure plate 10.
  • a position control device 41 for controlling and adjusting the position of a contact device 42 for the pressure plate 10.
  • the mounted in the set position punch punches 19, 20 thus already take into account the exact position of the reference marks 14, 15 and the printed image 13 and the position correction data of the plate cylinder 16.
  • the position correction data of all plate cylinders 16, 32, 33 or printing units 29-31 of a printing press 17 can also already be stored in the computer device 27 or in a control device 28 or in a plurality of control devices of the printing press 17.
  • the position control device 41 can in principle also set or change the position of the punching device 21.
  • punch punches 19, 20 and a punching device 21 are mentioned, so only conventional names are chosen without being limited to pure Stamping operations is meant.
  • the "punch punches” can also be produced for example by laser processing, milling or other appropriate operations.
