Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for controlling the register in a printing machine according to claim 1 or claim 16.
  • a web-fed printing press in question consists of at least two printing units, each of which consists of at least one cylinder having a printing plate on its surface and a second cylinder, between which the object to be printed, as a rule, a printing web or a printed sheet for the purpose of printing passed becomes.
  • the DE 10 2005 054 975 describes a control system for the register in a printing press, which has at least one printing unit and the control system has at least one register controller, wherein a pilot control variable and a register size are used to influence the register.
  • the application claims in particular in claim 12 (Offenlegungsschrift of 25/04/2007) that the printing press has only a single data bus for the transmission of the register error estimation and the pilot control quantity and the transmission of rotational speed variables and position variables for the speed control.
  • Fig. 1 a schematically greatly simplified block diagram for explaining the structure of the control device according to the invention
  • Fig.2 a graph explaining the determination of the register deviation
  • Fig. 3 an example for a measuring field
  • Fig. 4 a schematically simplified representation of a receiving line with along the web running direction arranged print marks
  • Fig. 5 a graph in which pixel numbers of a task line are plotted over line captures
  • Fig. 6 a schematically simplified illustration of another embodiment of the register control device, which uses a line scan camera in this case.
  • a real-time bus system 12 is used for signal transmission for the measured values and for an exactly determined acquisition of the measuring signals.
  • the essential thing is that all events on the bus system 12 are permanently synchronized with a common clock (eg according to the specification of the IEE1588).
  • a register control device 17 according to the invention for a printing press 18 therefore has Fig. 1 in addition to the drive control device for the electrical machine as a subscriber of such a bus system 12 and, among other possible further bus subscribers at least one register control unit 3, 7, a trigger unit 4, 8, which causes the generation and processing of synchronous information, and a measuring unit 2, 6 with a measuring head 1, 5 on.
  • the execution of all units as subscribers to one and the same real-time bus system 12 also allows a single trigger unit to be associated with multiple units of measurement and / or control units.
  • a modification may be, for example, that the trigger unit is integrated into a measuring unit.
  • a fixed assignment of a specific measuring unit to a specific register control unit no longer exists, but instead of all available data from each register control unit, the information required for its assigned function can be read and processed.
  • data obtained from a plurality of measuring units can also be used by a register control unit to calculate a register correction value.
  • a common embodiment for the detection of register deviations uses, for example, the measurement of a positional position of marks, of which in the printing process at least by a printing unit such a periodic, usually per print size, is printed on the web.
  • a printing unit such as a periodic, usually per print size
  • the position of this mark is either determined relative to the position of a mark printed by another printing unit, or the determined position of at least one printed mark is determined by a Position information that is directly related to the rotational angular position of a pressure-forming cylinder (or a cylinder carrying the image), compared. From this, a positional information of the printed mark is calculated.
  • the two processes are referred to as either web / web or web / cylinder processes.
  • the marks For measurement, the marks must be printed in a relatively small acquisition window in the circumferential direction. Within that then the measurement takes place.
  • Such a measurement is usually carried out optically by means of an optical reflection scan, wherein the position of the print marks in the longitudinal and lateral direction are determined from an image (or a time course of the light remission when passing a measuring head measuring in the form of a dot). This is done, for example, by using a known edge detection method.
  • position information of individual printing cylinders in Fig. 1 Cylinder 13, 14 representative of all cylinders
  • a superordinate other rotation angle information source eg, a virtual master 11
  • reference data e.g, so-called time stamps or alternatively also bus cycles
  • a position information transmitted in this way is then used by a trigger unit 4 or 8 in order to calculate the time of the start of a measuring operation and to feed one or more sensors for triggering a predetermined functional sequence, for example initiation of a measuring operation.
  • Position information can also be transmitted several times per print format via the bus system.
  • the transmission of each of these information takes place very precisely in a common temporal context.
  • the trigger unit 4 or 8 in particular advantageously additionally a further refined, to the temporal context of the bus 12 is always synchronous own division generated that a highly accurate temporal resolution between the above reference data (time stamps) delivers (s. Fig. 2 ). From known position information originating, for example, from the printing cylinder, and the associated time information, a future point in time is calculated at which a measuring process is triggered via a trigger signal. The time of this trigger signal should advantageously be as close as possible to the last reference date, so that the assignment of positions to the measurement object takes place at a predetermined location with the greatest possible accuracy.
  • the trigger signal is either used directly to trigger the measuring process, or the previously calculated triggering time for triggering is transmitted via the bus system to the measuring system. This ensures that each measurement always takes place very exactly at the same location of the printed web and / or very precisely at a predetermined angular position of the forme cylinder of a printing press. This method of operation, in particular when using a web / cylinder method, generates the highest accuracies in determining the position of the printed image printed by a printing unit.
  • a measuring system can basically be started both with a reflective or transmitted light web scanner conventional design as well as with a surface camera by a start signal generated in this way a measurement process.
  • a use of printing marks and scanning by means of an optical measuring head under which the printing marks pass (see also FIG Fig. 3 ).
  • the optical reflection probe records a brightness curve and evaluates (see, for example EP 0 637 286 ) detects the detected signals as position information by, for example, detected edges of print marks and these converted with the knowledge of their size and shape (and possibly also their order) into position information of the individual print marks. Decisive for the accuracy is the correct assignment of the time course of the electrical signal and the position of the printed web.
  • a speed-dependent sampling rate for the digitization of the brightness curve is derived from the existing position information and time information. This makes the entire recording practical speed-independent and thus, by a highly accurate constant number of measuring points per track, the required measurement accuracy for the task.
  • the measured data are stored with associated time stamps.
  • angle position information and timestamp are stored.
  • the digitized progress signal is evaluated as usual (for example, edges are detected).
  • the data measured in the progress signal for the position of the print marks are then converted by means of the stored position information and time stamp on a real metric position.
  • the bus cycle time and bus topology delays have no impact on the measurement result, thus significantly increasing the accuracy and reproducibility of the measurement over previous methods that use an independently generated sampling rate.
  • the result of the position measurement calculated in this way is transmitted via the real-time bus 12 to the register control unit 3 or 7. In this sense, it may also be advantageous to transmit only measured value deviations from a known setpoint position.
  • the register control unit 3 or 7 calculates a correction command for the drive control from the position or position deviation data in application of a control algorithm and, if necessary, adding data from another source, and sends this via the same bus 12 to one or more drive controllers 9 and 10.
  • an area camera or a comparable image-receiving sensor is used in the measuring head 1 or 5, the procedure is analogous to the above method. Only in place of the edge detection method is an image evaluation which uses other methods for determining the position of the object print mark (here then usually in a small point-like configuration), for example object isolation and / or center of gravity determination. The described digitization of an analogue course using a high-precision sampling rate would then be omitted.
  • a fundamental problem with the use of a matrix camera is that field size and resolution depend on each other.
  • the wedge-shaped print marks which are arranged at a relatively large distance from each other would require such a large image field with a simultaneous image recording of all brands by means of a single camera recording that would not be sufficient with the use of conventional cameras, the spatial resolution of the recorded image to the marks still be able to measure with sufficient accuracy.
  • Assembling several images obtained from successive prints into an overall image of all the print marks has several drawbacks, firstly that many meters of material are needed in the printing press and secondly that the sub-images come from different situations.
  • a line camera For image recording, a line camera is used, which captures image lines in a fixed, very well-defined and controlled sequence of the traversing under the camera web and joins them together to form an image whose extension in the web direction X represents a time axis and transverse to a path axis Y.
  • the register control system has a high-precision synchronized at all measuring points and high-resolution, tied to the means of locomotion of the web and thus location-related clock sequence, which is formed from the time axis.
  • time information from the drive bus of the printing press is used to generate this time axis, so that a highly precise relationship with the movement of the printed web is ensured.
  • the receiving device exists accordingly Fig. 6 from a line camera 1 ", which consists of a sensor with a multiplicity of sensor elements arranged side by side (for example a CCD line with at least 500 elements) and a lighting device 6", a recording control, which, for example, is triggered by the trigger unit 4 (FIG. Fig. 1 ) is caused, an image processing unit, for example, in the measuring unit 2 from Fig. 1 is realized and consists of a bus interface, which is the real-time bus system 12 in the present example.
  • the overall device is designed to operate in different modes of operation that differ substantially from one another by different sampling modes and evaluation modes.
  • the trigger unit, the measuring unit and other components affected by the switchover are correspondingly initialized by a higher-order central unit.
  • the camera works depending on the type and size of the marks to be measured, with different line recording regimes to create an overall picture.
  • a scanning mode can be selected, which generates an overall image, which also have gaps may (see also Fig. 4 ). From the a priori knowledge of the geometry of the marks can be easily ignored the gaps in the image in the evaluation. This procedure ensures that the amount of image information remains as small as possible and in particular redundant or irrelevant information (for example, image parts not to be considered for register measurement) is largely avoided.
  • the sensor line of the line scan camera is arranged at an angle to the web movement direction, which is not 90 °. (For example, 45 °) Recording and evaluation are made, as already mentioned, in different modes depending on the type of mark (e.g., wedge or dot mark).
  • a punctiform pattern is used, the shot is switched to a mode that captures a gap-free image of the corresponding pattern.
  • the evaluation then proceeds in exactly the same way as would be the case with an image taken by a matrix camera, since in this mode a complete image is produced which is close to that of a matrix camera and can also be evaluated accordingly.
  • an object search is carried out here for punctiform image objects of known size with subsequent center of gravity determination, the focal points being regarded as representative of the position of the printed marks.
  • a flash light source for example a line-shaped LED arrangement
  • a light source generates less heat in its environment.
  • it is particularly advantageous to be able to produce an illumination spectrum for example by means of a suitable spectral mix of the emitting elements, which produces a maximum contrast with respect to the printed image parts to be scanned.
  • the above-described example with a line camera is not necessarily bound to a real-time bus as described above, its use merely represents a very advantageous embodiment with high measurement accuracy.
  • a pulse sequence with sufficiently accurate resolution for example, is sufficient is generated by a pulse multiplication, which in turn is synchronized with a printing cylinder.
  • it may also be advantageous to print at least one geometrically known pattern e.g., two known spaced marks, from which an additional geometry measure for the captured image can be calculated.
  • a system operated according to the invention allows regulation in a completely decentralized mode of operation as well as in a centralized manner.
  • a control unit assumes all tasks for determining the register adjustment variables. Reading of measured data, control of the measuring and triggering units and output of the correction quantities to the drive units take place via the real-time bus.
  • a suitable implementation of the proposed solution allows the measurement of wedge and dot marks with the same register controller.
