Definitions
- the invention relates to the following methods or objects:
- a method for monitoring the printed image generated by a printing press is described.
- a rotary printing machine where the printed image generated by the printing press is monitored.
- a system for monitoring the print image generated by a printing press is provided.
- the aim of the scan is usually the acquisition of measured values to desired sizes of the printed image. Often the longitudinal or transverse registration of the printed image is in the foreground. More recently, measured values with regard to the completeness of the printed image (also the thickness and uniformity of the ink transfer, see, for example, EP 1 249 346 B1) and errors in the printed image, or the parallelism of the run of the printing material web, etc., are caused by such Won samples. Often, these measured values are then also used to control the corresponding characteristic of the print in online mode and or to set the print parameters at the beginning of production.
- DE 10 2004 044 341 A1 proposes such a lighting system.
- the field of application of the illumination system is the feeder of a sheet-fed offset printing press.
- the lighting system includes a bar that provides substantially homogeneous light that falls on the sheets whose run is to be controlled. From these arcs, the light is reflected back to a sensor.
- EP 0 983 853 A1 proposes a method in which the side of a transparent printing material facing away from the sensor system is illuminated with homogeneous light.
- DE 103 52 174 A1 proposes something similar. Additional illumination of the side facing the sensor system is also known from the first-mentioned EP 0 983 853 A1.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an improved illumination system that achieves better results even with exotic substrates. These substrates include transparent or opaque substrates.
- the object is solved by the features of claims 1, 12 and / or 18.
- homogeneous radiation is characterized by a relatively uniform intensity of radiation.
- the scanning range of a sensor system is just the area - here the printing material - which is scanned by the sensor system.
- the sensor system will be mounted on the path of the substrate web through the printing press and scan parts of the passing past him print images. In general, the sensor system will be mounted on the side of the printing material on which the pressure is applied.
- An illumination element is any device which aligns the electromagnetic radiation suitable for illumination with the scanning region.
- a lighting element takes over the final alignment of the radiation on the substrate.
- a lighting element can first of all be a light source which emits light "directly” onto the scanning region or a mirror device which redirects the light there, and mixtures between the two systems or other alternatives, such as glass panes, are also possible.
- the properties of homogeneous light include, as mentioned, a uniform intensity of the same over a certain area (probably the sampling range here).
- Diffuse light is generally understood to mean a light that illuminates the "scene" with little or no contrast
- diffuse light is generated by flat light sources, and light diffusers such as umbrellas, soft boxes or reflections on uneven, matt, mirrored objects are used to create artificial diffused light.
- parallel light has emerged, for example, paraboloid or ellipsoidal mirrors can be used to create parallel light, and if focal points are light sources, then parallel to the traditional headlamps of cars
- light-emitting diode arrays or even laser diode arrays are advantageous.
- the combination of the abovementioned backlighting with the exposure of the scanning region to a second electromagnetic radiation has proven to be advantageous.
- This second electromagnetic radiation falls from the same side of the substrate on which the sensor system is located. This measure requires the presence of any lighting element on this side of the printing material. A rather random lighting by stray light is not meant.
- the presence of direct, that is to say non-diffuse, radiation has proven to be advantageous.
- the use of light emitting diodes or laser diodes or planar arrays of these components has achieved advantageous effects in experiments.
- the lighting element or elements emanating from the second electromagnetic radiation should advantageously be positioned relative to the scanning region on the printing substrate and the first lighting element such that the second radiation falls past the latter lighting element.
- the second radiation propagating rectilinearly does not fall on the first lighting element. This should also be the case when considering the proper refraction of light at the interfaces of the printing substrate. However, if scattering effects - such as dirt or material damage - cause small amounts of light to strike the first lighting element, this is irrelevant to the above definition.
- control commands for optimizing the printed image can be derived.
- the measured values are to be forwarded to a computing device for this purpose.
- a computing device for this purpose.
- This can be part of a system which comprises at least the sensor device and with which the printing press is equipped.
- the computing device can also be integrated as a hardware or software component in the machine control of the printing press.
- the validity, completeness or Area coverage, the errors of the printed image and a number of other variables into consideration. It is particularly advantageous if the area coverage or completeness of the printed image is measured.
- EP1249346 B1 provides advantageous recommendations.
- this document proposes recording the course of the intensity of the light reflected by the printing material as a function of the relative roller positions.
- the transmitted from the substrate and possibly reflected light should be recorded, which is very advantageous in connection with the teaching presented above.
- the same (recording of the transmitted from the substrate and possibly reflected radiation) also applies to the other embodiments of EP 1 249 346 B1.
- a certain "curve shape" of the graph of the radiation intensity as a function of the roll position indicates an optimized printed image
- Such an advantageous position is according to EP 1 249 346 B1 after the second inflection point of this function
- the printed image can be considered as optimized
- Such an optimization of the printed image according to EP 1 249 346 B1 can also take place on the basis of digital target images of the printed image or parts thereof Target images would then be stored in a storage device that can be used by the system.
- a target image contains one or more light intensity target values for a surface section.
- Optimized relative positions of the rollers involved in the printing process can also be found by first measuring measured values relative to a relative position via a radiation intensity measurement and then changing the relative position by a fixed value, for example.
- the optimization of the relative positions of the rollers involved in the printing process is carried out according to EP1249346 B1 by suitable actuators, which are controlled by control commands of the control or computing device.
- the optimization of the roll positions according to these teachings can be done before (starting) or during the printing operation. This is also the case with registering.
- FIG. 1 side view of a first printing machine according to the invention in
- FIG. 2 Side view of a second printing machine according to the invention in FIG.
- FIG. 3 Side view of a third printing machine according to the invention in FIG.
- FIG. 4 Side view of a fourth printing machine according to the invention in FIG.
- FIG. 5 shows an advantageous course of the "local" course of
- Fig. 6 shows an advantageous course of the spectral course of the
- the scanning region 1 shows a printing machine in the region of the scanning region 1.
- the scanning region 1 is acted on by first electromagnetic radiation 2-preferably light-of the radiation source 3.
- This radiation passes through the transparent surface 4, the radiation 2 becoming diffused.
- this diffuse radiation 2 is incident on the scanning region 1.
- This 1 is scanned by the sensor system 5.
- the light sources 6 and 7, which initially generate a second electromagnetic radiation 8, which falls onto the printing substrate 9 from the side facing the sensor system 5.
- These two light sources together with the mirrors 6a and 7a, in whose focal points are the light sources, the lighting elements 6b and 7b. Each of these two lighting elements directs radiation 8 onto the scanning region 1.
- the second radiation 8 is direct radiation.
- the second electromagnetic radiation 8 does not fall on the translucent surface 4, which here forms the first illumination element 3 in the sense of this document.
- the printing material or the printing material web 9 are conveyed in the direction of the arrow z via the guide rollers 10, 11.
- the elements of FIG. 2 are largely identical to those of FIG. 1.
- the first lighting element is formed by the mirror 13. This reflects diffusely, so that the first electromagnetic radiation 2 is again diffuse. This mirror 13 also gives the first radiation 2 to the scanning region 1 as the last mechanical optically active element.
- the printing ink will be located on the side of the sensor element 5 of the printing substrate 9.
- FIG. 3 again shows the same arrangement as FIG. 1, wherein a diaphragm 15 is located between the diffuse surface 4 and the printing substrate 9.
- a diaphragm may form a shadow on the diffuse surface 4, the due to the second electromagnetic radiation 8 can be avoided.
- Such shadowing can be achieved by the interaction of the second electromagnetic radiation 8 with patterns in or on the printing material web 9.
- Such shadows can falsify the measurements of the sensor system 5.
- Another way to avoid the formation of shadows is to choose the distance A between the surface 4 or another optically active first element behind the printing substrate so that the second electromagnetic radiation falls past this element 4.
- this distance and the selection of the angle of incidence of the second electromagnetic radiation 8 on the printing material 9 can be matched to one another such that a second electromagnetic radiation 8 impinges on the first element 4 stored on the printing material from the point of view of the sensor system.
- This is at a minimum distance B (see Figure 3), which is the case for the above-mentioned geometrical considerations.
- the extension of the element must also be considered
- FIG. 4 once more essentially shows the features of FIG. 2, wherein a lens 16 is additionally present. This lens assumes a bundling of the first electromagnetic radiation 2, so that first electromagnetic radiation 2 of sufficient intensity arrives at the printing substrate. This measure can be very advantageous because the diffusion of the radiation often causes them to diverge. Instead of the lens, other light beam means could be used.
- the mirror 13 could be pronounced as ellipsoid and / or paraboloid mirror.
- all measures relating to the provision of diffuse or parallel or to the bundling of first electromagnetic radiation 2 are made, also advantageous for second electromagnetic radiation 8 applicable and vice versa.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 take up a further topic, the processing of which is advantageous in connection with the present invention. It is advantageous if, in the scanning region in the web running direction z and / or in the direction of the working or printing width x, the intensity of the first and second electromagnetic radiation has the same (local) intensity profile. This is symbolized by the same curves of the graphs 20 and 21, which represent the course of the light intensity on the illuminated part of the printing material web 9 in x and / or in the z direction. Similar light sources 3, 6 and 7 can do this. An identical or similar color temperature (spectral intensity profile in FIG. 6) is also advantageous. For clarification, in FIG. 6 the wavelength ⁇ is plotted against the spectral light intensity I. Graphs 22 and 23 are intended to show that this pattern is the same for the first 2 and second electromagnetic radiation 8 (although the intensity here has other amounts).
