Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to printing presses and more particularly to printing presses with fixed cutoffs. The invention concerns a printing press and a method according to the preambles of claims 1 and 11.
-
U.S. Patent No. 5,868,071 discloses a variable cutoff printing press. The press includes a pair of plate cylinders and a pair of blanket cylinders with all of the cylinders having a cylindrical body and a central axis of rotation. The blanket cylinders are linearly adjustably positionable along the perpendicular to the adjustment axes to adjust the spacing between the plate and blanket cylinders to accommodate blanket sleeves ofdifferent thicknesses. -
U.S. Patent No. 5,950,536 discloses a press that has an impression plate mounted on the frame in the case of a non-perfecting press or an identical, mirror image assembly of plate and blanket cylinders in the case of a perfecting press. The plate cylinder sleeve is variable, whereby a length of an image to be printed is varied proportionally to the variable outer diameter while maintaining the outer diameter of the gapless blanket cylinder sleeve constant. This document discloses a printing press and a method according to the preambles of claims 1 and 11. -
U.S. Patent No. 7,032,515 discloses mounting a sub-frame on an existing frame of a printing press. New plate and blanket cylinders having different sizes than the plate and blanket cylinders used in the existing printing press may be mounted in the sub-frame to provide different printing lengths/cut offs. - The present invention provides a web printing press printing according to claim 1.
- The present invention also provides a method of printing a web according to claim 11.
- A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be elucidated with reference to the drawings, in which:
-
Fig. 1 shows a printing press in accordance with the present invention; -
Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of a printing press in accordance with the present invention; and -
Figs. 3, 4 and 5 show images printed on a web by the printing press shown inFig. 2 . - The ability to print two cutoffs in a single print unit may be advantageous in non-perfecting printing applications where one side of a web is printed at a time. A printing press including a print unit having two print couples, a first print couple with a fixed cutoff and a second print couple with a different fixed cutoff allows a single print unit to print two different cutoffs.
- Printing two different cutoffs on a single print unit also may be advantageous during printing applications wherein both sides of the web are printed at the same time. A printing press including a print unit having two print couples, a first print couple with a fixed cutoff and a second print couple with a different fixed cutoff allows a single print unit to print two different cutoffs. For proper registration, the length of the fixed cutoffs may be integer multiples of each other.

Eachprint couple plate cylinder blanket cylinder plate cylinder 22 is, for example, 8.89 centimeters (3.50 inches). A radius RB1 ofblanket cylinder 24 is, for example, 8.89 centimeters (3.50 inches) also. A radius RP2 ofplate cylinder 28 is, for example, 11.33 centimeters (4.46 inches), and a radius RB2 ofblanket cylinder 26 is, for example, 11.33 centimeters (4.46 inches) also. - A

Printing units printing unit 20. Eachprinting unit print couples print couple plate cylinder blanket cylinder Printing press 10 also includes aroll 14 and awindup roll 16.Web 12 travels fromroll 14 towindup roll 16. Afterweb 12 is printed byprinting units web 12 is dried by adryer 18.Windup roll 16 can then be removed and cut to a proper size, for example, for packaging material. Furthermore, the printed web may be delivered to another printing device, for example, a coater, a rewinder, a sheeter, a folder or other inline finishing device. - During a non-perfecting printing application where
print couples web 12, cutoff is 55,88 centimeters (22 inches) when radius RP1 is 8.89 centimeters (3.50 inches). During a non-perfecting printing application whereinprint couples web 12, cutoff is 71,12 centimeters (28 inches) when radius RP2 is 11.33 centimeters (4.46 inches). Thus,printing press 10 permits two different cutoffs, 55,88 centimeters (22 inches) and 71,12 centimeters (71,12 centimeters), onweb 12. - In a printing couple, it is preferable for the blanket cylinder to have a radius similar to the associated plate cylinder radius or an integer multiple thereof. For example, in
printing couple 23 the radius RP1 ofplate cylinder 22 is 8.89 centimeters (3.50 inches) and the radius RB1 ofblanket cylinder 24 is 8.89 centimeters (3.50 inches) also. - A second embodiment of the present invention,
printing press 110, is shown inFig 2 .Printing press 110 is preferable when both sides ofweb 112 are printed at the same time.Printing press 110 includes a fourcolor printing section 102.Printing section 102 includes fourprint units print unit web 112.Print unit 120 includes twoprint couples web 112. Eachprint couple plate cylinder 122, 128 and an associatedblanket cylinder blanket cylinder 124 is, for example, 8.89 centimeters (3.50 inches) also. A radius RP4 ofplate cylinder 128 is, for example, 17.78 centimeters (7.00 inches), and a radius RB4 ofblanket cylinder 126 is, for example, 17.78 centimeters (7.00 inches) also. - Each plate cylinder and blanket cylinder may include printing plates and blankets respectively. As shown in
printing unit 120, aprinting plate 222 is mounted on an outer circumference of plate cylinder 122 and aprinting plate 228 is mounted on an outer circumference ofplate cylinder 128. Ablanket 224 is mounted onblanket cylinder 124. Ablanket 226 is mounted onblanket cylinder 126.Blankets - In another preferred embodiment shown in
printing unit 130, plate cylinders may include multiple plate lock-up mechanisms carrying multiple printing plates.Plate cylinder 138 includes two plate lock-upmechanisms printing plates plate cylinder 138.Printing plates printing unit 140,plate cylinders - A
motor 180 drives plate cylinder 122. Asecond motor 182 drives blanketcylinders third motor 184 drivesplate cylinder 128. This motor arrangement allows selective contact betweenplate cylinders 122, 128 andblanket cylinders -
Printing units printing unit 120. Eachprinting unit print couples print couple plate cylinder blanket cylinder Printing press 110 also includes afolder 104 including roll top of former 106, niprollers 108, cuttingcylinders 114 and afan 116.Web 112 travels throughprinting section 102 andfolder 104 where the web may be processed and folded into printed products. - During a printing application where both sides of
web 112 are printed at the same time, the radius ofprinting plates printing plates web 112. For example, printing plate 122 has a radius RP3 of 8.89 centimeters (3.50 inches) and a cutoff of 55,88 centimeters (22 inches).Printing plate 128 has a radius RP4 of 17.78 centimeters (7.00 inches) and a cutoff of 111,76 centimeters (44 inches). Radius RP4 ofprinting plate 128 is two times radius RP3 of printing plate 122. Thus, two images are printed onweb 112 byblanket cylinder 124 via plate cylinder 122 in the same length one image is printed onweb 112 byblanket cylinder 126 viaplate cylinder 128. -
Figs. 3, 4 and 5 show images printed onweb 112. InFig. 3 , print couple 123 (Fig. 2 ) prints an image A on atop side 210 ofweb 112 while images C and D are printed on anunderside 212 along the same length ofweb 112 by print couple 127 (Fig. 2 ). In this embodiment, two printing plates may be mounted around an outer circumference ofplate cylinder 128 or one printing plate may be mounted which includes images C and D. - In
Fig. 4 , an image B is printed on theunderside 212 ofweb 112, for example, byprint couple 127, while print couple 123 (Fig. 2 ) prints two image A images on thetop side 210 along the same length ofweb 112. If the diameters forplate cylinders 122 and 128 are non-integer multiples, a position of an image on one side could vary relative to a position of an image on the other side. In order to maintain proper circumferential registration during dual-sided printing, the diameters forplate cylinders 122 and 128 having images A and B and images A, C and D should be integer multiples of one another. Thus, the resultant printed web will have multiple repeat images on one side ofweb 112 and a full print length on the other side ofweb 112. -
Fig. 5 shows two image B images printed on theunderside 212 ofweb 112, for example byprint couple 127, while print couple 123 (Fig. 2 ) prints two image A images on thetop side 210 along the same length ofweb 112. Thus,printing press 110 also may be used to printweb 112 conventionally, for example, an image A on thetop side 210 corresponding to an image B on theunderside 212 and this being repeated alongweb 112.
