Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for adjusting the angular velocity of printing cylinders of printing units.
  • the present invention applies in particular to web offset rotary presses.
  • a method of setting the register of a printing group is known from the document EP 1 048 461 B1 .
  • Another document EP 1 364 780 A2 describes a method in which, during a maintenance phase, a plate cylinder is driven at a rotation speed different from that of an associated blanket cylinder.
  • a first object of the invention is therefore to provide a method for an efficient and perfectly controlled cleaning of the blanket of a blanket cylinder.
  • the coefficient of flow of a blanket is preferably established by measuring its dimensional characteristics or its stiffness, or by measuring, on a test bench, the relative velocity between two cylinders in contact, one of which carries the blanket. to measure.
  • the flow coefficient is a qualitative parameter reflecting the more or less good behavior of the blanket.
  • the flow coefficient can then correspond to a letter (A, B, C, D, ...) indicating the quality of the behavior of the blanket. Nevertheless, the flow coefficient can also be a quantitative parameter indicated by a number.
  • the blankets are mounted in a preferred order on the different printing units of the printing machine, according to their flow coefficient.
  • the prescription of a precise order for the assembly of blankets makes it tedious, heavy and inflexible.
  • the coefficient of flow of a blanket varies during its use, for example because of the deterioration of the microbubbles contained in its compressible layer, or because of the continuous action of solvents, inks and cleaning on the blanket. This makes it difficult to change a single blanket that would have been accidentally destroyed.
  • a second object of the invention is therefore to provide a method that reliably, simply and flexibly ensures a good superposition of the printed images.
  • a third object of the invention is therefore to provide a method which, in a printing group, allows the use of less powerful motors and simplifies the regulation of the motors.
  • a common problem to be solved by the invention is the increase of printing quality with economical means.
  • the angular velocity of a cylinder is the speed of rotation of the cylinder in radians per second (rad / s).
  • the increasing phase shift means a continuous displacement of the image on the blanket, so that the fresh ink comes to absorb the dry ink.
  • the blanket is regularly cleaned on its entire surface.
  • the difference in angular velocity makes it possible to compensate for the difference between the flow coefficients of the two blankets in order to equalize the engine torques to be supplied.
  • the difference in angular velocity makes it possible to maintain the tension of the paper web between the two printing units to a desired value.
  • the invention also relates to a device for adjusting the angular speed of one or more printing cylinders in a printing machine, the device being able to perform a control method as defined above.
  • the invention also relates to a software for adjusting the angular velocity of one or more printing cylinders in a printing machine, the software being able to implement a control method as defined above. above.
  • the figure 1 illustrates a printing machine 10.
  • This printing machine 10 comprises three offset printing units 1, 2 and 3. Each printing unit is used to print a partial image of a certain color on both sides of a strip of paper 6 running through it. .
  • Each printing unit comprises four printing cylinders, namely an upper plate cylinder ps, an upper blanket cylinder bs, a lower blanket cylinder bi, and a bottom plate cylinder pi.
  • the suffix 1, 2 or 3 of the reference sign of a particular cylinder indicates that it belongs to one of the three printing groups.
  • the reference sign bs2 designates the upper blanket cylinder of the printing unit 2.
  • each printing cylinder of the printing machine 10 has substantially the same diameter D. Nevertheless, the invention also applies to printing machines with printing cylinders of different diameters.
  • the plate cylinders ps, pi are provided with a transverse groove which allows to hang the printing plate.
  • the blanket cylinders bs, bi have no groove, a tubular blanket being fitted and tightened on each blanket cylinder.
  • Each blanket 4 is completely immobile in the circumferential direction on the associated blanket cylinder. In other words, the blanket 4 is not shifted on its blanket cylinder during printing.
  • Each printing unit 1, 2, 3 further comprises four M engines, each motor M being associated exclusively with one of the cylinders and used for driving this cylinder.
  • the two blanket cylinders bs, bi of a printing unit can be driven by the same motor, while each of the two plate cylinder is driven by an individual engine.
  • the printing machine 10 also comprises an adjusting device 8, generally an electronic device such as a computer.
  • This adjustment device 8 is connected to the motors M in order to regulate the operation and thus the angular velocity ⁇ of each of the printing cylinders.
  • the adjustment device 8 is also connected to a plurality of sensors 7, one of which is represented on the figure 1 . These sensors 7 measure different printing parameters, such as the voltage T1-2, T2-3, or the width of the paper strip 6, the distance between the dots of different colors printed by the different printing units, or the torque of motors M.
  • the adjustment device 8 ensures that all the printing cylinders have the same angular velocity ⁇ .
  • the adjustment device 8 is also able to introduce differences in angular velocity between the rolls.
  • the rolls of the machine 10 are considered in sets of two cylinders. Each set consisting of a first and a second cylinder.
  • the example described below refers to a first and a second cylinder of the same nominal diameter.
  • the nominal diameter is a function of the print length.
  • the two cylinders have identical angular velocities, when they have the same nominal diameters.
  • FC D2 / D1 or D1 / D2 being equal to an integer.
  • the adjusting device is adapted to adjust the angular velocities so that a first of the printing cylinders rotates at an angular velocity ⁇ 1 slightly different from the angular velocity ⁇ 2 of a second one of the printing cylinders.
  • alpha value or Epsilon will be different depending on the nature of the two print cylinders and the purpose.
  • the figure 3 is a representation of three different examples of time adjustment of the difference in angular velocity ⁇ between two printing cylinders.
  • ⁇ is set during a setting step of a duration t e greater than or equal to six minutes.
  • the duration t e is the same as the print job time ("print-job").
  • the lower graphs of the figure 3 illustrate the evolution over time of the angular phase shift ⁇ between the two cylinders, while the upper graphs illustrate the corresponding evolution of ⁇ .
  • ⁇ is constant throughout the adjustment step, so that the evolution of ⁇ corresponds to a straight line.
  • the evolution of ⁇ corresponds to an oscillating curve with several maxima and minima.
  • > 0 is generated periodically during adjustment sub-steps of a duration q less than t e .
  • Each sub-step of adjustment is followed by a synchronous substep where ⁇ is substantially equal to 0.
  • the evolution of ⁇ takes the form of a series of plates connected by slopes. The slopes correspond to circumferential sliding steps between the two cylinders.
  • the duration q and the amplitude A of generation of the differences of speed ⁇ are always the same. Nevertheless, it is possible to vary q and A from one generation to another.
  • the speed differences ⁇ can also be generated non-periodically, and in particular randomly.
  • two sub-adjustment steps delimit the adjustment step.
  • the beginning and the end of the adjustment step coincide with a sub-adjustment step.
  • any difference in speed ⁇ applied during the adjustment step is always the same sign over the duration t e of the adjustment step.
  • the phase shift ⁇ increases or remains constant, but never decreases.
  • the first and second cylinders for which a difference in angular velocity has been generated are, respectively within the same printing unit, a blanket cylinder and its associated plate cylinder. It may for example be cylinders bs1 and ps1 of the printing unit 1, or cylinders bi3 and pi3 of the printing unit 3.
  • the alpha ⁇ (or Epsilon ⁇ ) adaptation value is set at a sufficiently high value in order to ensure efficient cleaning of the blanket.
  • the value of alpha ⁇ (or Epsilon) is set to a value small enough not to cause disturbances in the print quality.
  • alpha is of the order of 5x10 -6 radians per cylinder revolution, which corresponds to an Epsilon value ⁇ of the order of 1 ⁇ m per cylinder revolution. It is especially the value Epsilon which is important, the value alpha will depend on the diameter of the cylinder.
  • this cleaning process is specially adapted for a tubular blanket.
  • the setting step is applied long enough for the circumferential offset between the two cylinders to reach a value which exceeds the circumferential size of the transverse groove of the plate cylinder. Such an offset would not be tolerable if the blanket were a discontinuous blanket, since there would no longer be the necessary superposition between the groove of the plate cylinder and that of the blanket cylinder cylinder.
  • the first cylinder corresponds to a blanket cylinder of a first printing unit
  • the second cylinder corresponds to a blanket cylinder of a second printing unit.
  • the first cylinder carries a first blanket with a flow coefficient C1
  • the second cylinder carries a second blanket with a flow coefficient C2.
  • the purpose of this embodiment is to maintain the tension in a paper web segment S located between two printer groups at a desired value to ensure a good overlay of the printed images by each printing unit.
  • the value of alpha (or Epsilon) is chosen to compensate for the difference C1 - C2 between the flow coefficients of the two blankets.
  • Epsilon C1 - C2.
  • the printing machine 10 illustrated in FIG. figure 1 has three groups printing 1, 2, 3. In this context, it will be necessary to calculate two values of Epsilon (or of alpha). An Epsilon value 1 will be calculated to adjust the tension T1-2 of the paper web 6 between the first printing unit 1 and the second printing unit 2. An Epsilon value 2 will be calculated to adjust the tension T2-3 of the paper web 6 between the second printing unit 2 and the third printing unit 3.
  • Epsilon 1 is then applied at the angular velocity of cylinders bs2 and bi2, and Epsilon 2 is applied at the angular velocity of cylinders bs3 and bi3.
  • Epsilon 2 is applied at the angular velocity of cylinders bs3 and bi3.
  • the two cylinders carry The blanket of the printing unit 1 then rotate at a first speed ⁇ b1, the two blanket cylinders of the printing unit 2 rotate at a speed ⁇ b2 slightly less than ⁇ b1, and the two blanket cylinders of the printing unit 3 rotate at a speed ⁇ b3 slightly less than ⁇ b1 and different from ⁇ b2.
  • Epsilon can be positive or negative depending on the characteristics of the blankets.
  • the first and second cylinders respectively correspond to the upper blanket cylinder and the lower blanket cylinder of the same printing unit.
  • the first cylinder carries a first blanket with a flow coefficient C1
  • the second cylinder carries a second blanket with a flow coefficient C2. It may for example be cylinders bs2 and bi2 of the printing unit 2, or bs3 and bi3 cylinders of the printing unit 3.
  • the goal here is to optimize the distribution of the drive couples within the same printing group.
  • the Epsilon value is chosen to compensate for the difference C1 - C2 between the flow coefficients of the two blankets.
  • Epsilon C1 - C2.
  • a minimum threshold epsilon value is set, which ensures the proper cleaning of the blankets.
  • the epsilon values are determined for each set of rolls according to the above methods.
  • a maximum threshold epsilon value can be defined, which corresponds to a difference in speed from which there is a doubling between two printing groups.
  • it is checked whether one of the epsilon values is located above the maximum threshold epsilon value. If this is the case, the or each epsilon value above the maximum threshold epsilon value is decreased to be equal to or less than the maximum threshold epsilon value.
  • all epsilon values are decreased by the same value and sufficiently so that no epsilon value is above the maximum threshold epsilon value.
  • Epsilon calculations are given by way of example, other ways of calculating Epsilon being conceivable. Preferably, these calculations are performed by the adjusting device 8.
  • the angular speeds of the cylinders could also be adjusted manually by the operator so as to reduce or eliminate the defects found.
  • the operator could for example adjust the angular velocities until the disappearance of the "dot vanishing" phenomenon, and / or until obtaining the correct tension of the segment S of paper web between two printing units, and / or until the equalization of the couples provided by the motors of the same group.
  • the angular velocities or the epsilon values could also be adjusted automatically by the adjusting device 8, using sensors, such as the sensor 7. These sensors can measure the voltage T1-2, T2-3 of the band 6 between the different printing groups 1, 2, 3. They can also measure the width of the strip 6 between the different printing groups 1, 2, 3, or the distances between the dots of different colors printed by the different printing groups 1, 2, 3. The sensors could also measure the torque of the M motors or the size of the printed dots.
