Description

Druckmaschine mit mehreren Farbwerken Printing machine with several inking units
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Druckmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie ein Verfahren nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 6.The invention relates to a printing press according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a method according to the preamble of claim 6.
Druckmaschinen, bei denen mehrere Farbwerke um zumindest einen gemeinsamen Gegendruckzylinder herum angeordnet sind, sind bekannt. Diese Druckmaschinen werden vor allem zum Bedrucken von flexiblen Materialien, beispielsweise für den Verpackungsdruck, verwendet. Dabei liegen diese Materialien auf dem Gegendruckzylinder, so dass sie während des Bedrückens keine Formänderungen erfahren.Printing machines in which a plurality of inking units are arranged around at least one common impression cylinder are known. These printing machines are mainly used for printing on flexible materials, for example for packaging printing. These materials are on the impression cylinder, so that they undergo no changes in shape during printing.
Jedes der Farbwerke umfasst zumindest eine Druckwalze und zumindest eine Farbübertragungswalze. Beim Flexodruckverfahren, das oft im Verpackungsdruck genutzt wird, ist diese Farbübertragungswalze eine Rasterwalze, die Druckfarbe aus einem Farbreservoir, beispielsweise aus einer Farbkammerrakel, entnimmt und auf das auf den Druckzylinder aufgebrachte Klischee aufträgt. Von den Klischees wird die Farbe auf den Bedruckstoff übertragen. In den letzten Jahren ging die Entwicklung dahin, jeder einzelnen Walze und jedem Zylinder eines solchen Farbwerkes einen eigenen Antrieb zuzuordnen.Each of the inking units comprises at least one pressure roller and at least one ink transfer roller. In the flexographic printing process, which is often used in packaging printing, this ink transfer roller is an anilox roller, the ink from a color reservoir, for example, from a Farbkammerrakel, takes and applies to the applied to the printing cylinder cliché. From the clichés, the color is transferred to the substrate. In recent years, the trend has been to assign each individual roller and each cylinder of such an inking unit its own drive.
Es sind solche Druckmaschinen bekannt, bei denen acht oder zehn Farbwerke um einen Gegendruckzylinder herum angeordnet sind. Der Gegendruckzylinder ist in der Regel in einem zentralen Maschinengestell drehbar gelagert. Selbstverständlich umfasst der Gegendruckzylinder eine erste und eine zweite Stirnfläche, wobei diese Flächen vertikal verlaufen und parallel zueinander sind. Oft ist im Bereich einer der beiden Stirnseiten der Antrieb für den Gegendruckzylinder angeordnet, weshalb diese Seite als Antriebsseite bezeichnet wird. Im Bereich der anderen Stirnseite ist oft das Bedienpult für das Maschinenpersonal vorgesehen. Diese Seite wird folglich als Bedienseite bezeichnet.There are known such printing machines in which eight or ten inking units are arranged around an impression cylinder around. The impression cylinder is generally rotatably mounted in a central machine frame. Of course, the impression cylinder comprises a first and a second end face, wherein these surfaces are vertical and parallel to each other. Often, the drive for the impression cylinder is arranged in the region of one of the two end faces, which is why this page is referred to as the drive side. In the area of the other front side, the control panel for the machine personnel is often provided. This page is therefore called the operator page.
Betrachtet man die Druckmaschine mit Blick auf eine der Stirnseiten des Gegendruckzylinders, so lässt sich die Druckmaschine bzw. das eigentliche Druckwerk gedanklich in zwei Hälften teilen. Man kann sich dazu eine vertikale Ebene vorstellen, die so angeordnet ist, dass sich die Drehachse des Gegendruckzylinders in dieser Ebene befindet. Auf der einen Seite dieser Ebene, also in einer Hälfte, befindet sich zumindest ein erstes Farbwerk und in der zweiten Hälfte zumindest ein zweites Farbwerk.If one looks at the printing machine with a view of one of the end faces of the impression cylinder, then the printing press or the actual printing unit can theoretically be divided into two halves. One can imagine a vertical plane, which is arranged so that the axis of rotation of the impression cylinder is in this plane. On one side of this plane, ie in one half, there is at least one first inking unit and in the second half at least one second inking unit.
Bei bekannten Druckmaschinen sind jeweils zwei Farbwerke oft symmetrisch zu der vertikalen Ebene angeordnet und/oder aufgebaut. Daher ist es erforderlich, für jedes dieser beiden Farbwerke unterschiedliche Bauteile vorzusehen, die sich in ihrer Funktionalität nicht unterscheiden, aber eben spiegelbildlich zueinander ausgestaltet sind. Wenn nun auch noch jeweils zwei benachbarte Farbwerke in einer der beiden Hälften unterschiedlich aufgebaut sind, hat dies zur Folge, dass es kaum gleiche Bauteile innerhalb der Druckmaschine gibt. Für eine solche Druckmaschine existiert also eine sehr große Teilezahl, was beispielsweise die Lagerhaltung und die Verwaltung dieser Bauteile aufwändig macht und damit verteuert. Insgesamt führt dies also zum Teil zu hohen Kosten für die Herstellung einer solchen Druckmaschine.In known printing machines two inking units are often arranged symmetrically to the vertical plane and / or constructed. Therefore, it is necessary to provide different components for each of these two inking units, which do not differ in their functionality, but are just mirror images of each other. If now also two adjacent inking units are constructed differently in one of the two halves, this has the consequence that there are hardly any components within the printing press. For such a printing press so there is a very large number of parts, which makes, for example, the storage and management of these components consuming and thus more expensive. Overall, this leads in part to high costs for the production of such a printing press.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Druckmaschine vorzuschlagen, die kostengünstiger herzustellen ist.The object of the present invention is therefore to propose a printing press, which is cheaper to manufacture.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die Merkmale des Kennzeichens des Anspruchs 1. Demnach ist vorgesehen, dass der Antrieb des Druckzylinders des einen ersten Farbwerks, das in der ersten Hälfte angeordnet ist, auf der ersten Stirnseite des Gegendruckzylinders und der Antrieb des Druckzylinders des einen zweiten Farbwerks, das in der zweiten Hälfte angeordnet ist, auf der ersten Stirnseite des Gegendruckzylinders angeordnet ist.The object is solved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Accordingly, it is provided that the drive of the printing cylinder of a first inking unit, which is arranged in the first half, on the first end face of the impression cylinder and the drive of the impression cylinder of the a second inking unit, which is arranged in the second half, is arranged on the first end face of the impression cylinder.
Bei Druckmaschinen des Standes der Technik sind alle Antriebe der Druckwalzen auf einer Seite, in der Regel der Antriebsseite, angeordnet, so dass alleine schon unterschiedliche Befestigungselemente für den Antriebsmotor für die beiden Hälften vorgesehen werden mussten. Erfindungsgemäß ist nun vorgesehen, zwei identische Druckwalzen und Antriebe herzunehmen und eine auf der ersten Hälfte beispielsweise so einzubauen, dass der Antrieb auf der Antriebsseite liegt. Die zweite Druckwalze mit dem zugehörigen Antrieb wird nun nicht spiegelbildlich dazu in der zweiten Hälfte angeordnet, sondern um die Hochachse gedreht. Das hat zur Folge, dass sich der Antrieb der zweiten Druckwalze nun auf der Bedienseite befindet. Da in der heutigen Zeit in der Regel die Druckzylinder mittels Kransystemen gewechselt werden, führt die beschriebene Anordnung zu keinen Nachteilen hinsichtlich der Bedienung der Druckmaschine. Die Anordnung führt aber zu dem großen Vorteil, dass nun weniger unterschiedliche Bauteile vorgesehen werden müssen. Die Teilegleichheit innerhalb der Druckmaschine nimmt also zu, was eine effektivere Lagerhaltung und Verwaltung der Bauteile ermöglicht und folglich zur Reduzierung der Kosten führt.In printing presses of the prior art, all drives of the pressure rollers on one side, usually the drive side, arranged so that alone had already been provided different fasteners for the drive motor for the two halves. According to the invention, it is now provided to take two identical pressure rollers and drives and to install one on the first half, for example, in such a way that the drive lies on the drive side. The second pressure roller with the associated drive is now not arranged in mirror image to the second half, but rotated about the vertical axis. This has the consequence that the drive of the second pressure roller is now on the operating side. Since in the present time usually the printing cylinders are changed by means of crane systems, the arrangement described leads to no disadvantages with regard to the operation of the printing press. However, the arrangement leads to the great advantage that now less different components must be provided. Partial equality within the press thus increases, allowing for more effective inventory and management of the components, and thus reducing costs.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Druckmaschine ist vorgesehen, dass jedes Farbwerk eine mit einem eigenen Antrieb versehene und an den Druckzylinder anstellbare Rasterwalze umfasst, wobei dieser Antrieb an dem Ende der Rasterwalze angeordnet ist, welches dem Ende des Druckzylinders gegenüberliegt, an dem der Antrieb des Druckzylinders angeordnet ist. Das bedeutet also, dass die Antriebe für Druckzylinder und Rasterwalze gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise ist unter anderem der Bauraum für die Antriebe nicht beschränkt, so dass diese ausweichend angeordnet werden müssen. Betrachtet man nun zwei Farbwerke, die sich in Bezug auf die beschriebene vertikale Mittelebene gegenüber liegen, so sind die Antriebe der Farbwerkswalzen alternierend angeordnet. Insgesamt können die Farbwerke kompakter gebaut werden, was zu einer weiteren Kostenreduktion führt. Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass funktionelle Bauteile zumindest zweier Farbwerke, von denen ein erstes der ersten Hälfte und ein zweites der zweiten Hälfte des Gegendruckzylinders zugeordnet sind, identisch sind. Zu den genannten funktionellen Bauteilen zählen vor allem die Farbwerkskonsolen, die an den Farbwerkskonsolen angeordneten Linearführungen (beispielsweise Schienen), die entlang dieser Führungen verschiebbaren Lagerböcke, in denen die Walzen bzw. Zylinder gelagert sind, die Bauteile, die an diesen Lagerböcken angeordnet sind, die Antriebe für die Walzen und Zylinder, die Bauteile für die Seitenregistersteuerung, alle Bauteile zur Drehmomentübertragung zwischen Antrieb und Walze bzw. Zylinder (beispielsweise Zahnräder), Arretiermittel zur drehbaren Befestigung der Walzen oder Zylinder an den Lagerböcken. Diese Aufzählung ist nicht abgeschlossen; weitere Bauteile sind denkbar.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the printing machine is provided that each inking unit provided with an own drive and engageable with the printing cylinder anilox roller, said drive being arranged at the end of the anilox roller, which is opposite to the end of the printing cylinder, on which the drive of Pressure cylinder is arranged. This means that the drives for printing cylinder and anilox roller are arranged opposite each other. In this way, among other things, the space for the drives is not limited, so that they must be arranged evasive. If one now considers two inking units, which lie opposite each other in relation to the described vertical center plane, the drives of the inking unit rollers are arranged alternately. Overall, the inking units can be made more compact, which leads to a further cost reduction. According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that functional components of at least two inking units, of which a first of the first half and a second of the second half of the counter-pressure cylinder are assigned, are identical. The functional components mentioned above include, in particular, the inking unit brackets, the linear guides arranged on the inking unit consoles (for example rails), the bearing blocks displaceable along these guides, in which the rollers or cylinders are mounted, the components which are arranged on these bearing blocks Actuators for the rollers and cylinders, the components for the side register control, all components for torque transmission between drive and roller or cylinder (for example, gears), locking means for rotatably mounting the rollers or cylinders on the bearing blocks. This list is not completed; other components are conceivable.
Dabei ist unmittelbar klar, dass die Vorteile umso stärker zu Tage treten, je mehr Teile gleich sind.It is immediately clear that the more parts are the same, the more the benefits come to light.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind zumindest zwei Farbwerke, von denen ein erstes der ersten Hälfte und ein zweites der zweiten Hälfte des Gegendruckzylinders zugeordnet sind, identisch. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn alle Farbwerke der Druckmaschine identisch sind. In diesem Fall kann sogar eine Serienproduktion von Farbwerken stattfinden, ohne bereits bei der Herstellung darauf Rücksicht nehmen zu müssen, an welche Position an der Druckmaschine das Farbwerk montiert wird. Hierdurch werden nicht nur die Lagerkosten für die Bauteile reduziert, sondern der gesamte Herstellungsprozess kann effektiver gestaltet werden, da nun weniger verschiedene Bauteile zum Herstellungsort zugeführt werden müssen.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least two inking units, of which a first of the first half and a second of the second half of the counter-pressure cylinder are assigned, identical. It is particularly advantageous if all inking units of the printing press are identical. In this case, even a series production of inking can take place without having to take into account already in the production, to which position on the printing press the inking unit is mounted. As a result, not only the storage costs for the components are reduced, but the entire manufacturing process can be made more effective, since now less different components must be supplied to the place of manufacture.
Weitere Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung gehen aus der gegenständlichen Beschreibung und den Ansprüchen hervor. Die einzelnen Figuren zeigen:Further embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the description and the claims. The individual figures show:
Fig. 1 Seitenansicht eines Druckwerks einer Zentralzylinderdruckmaschine Fig. 2 Ansicht Il - Il aus Fig. 1Fig. 1 side view of a printing unit a Zentralzylinderdruckmaschine Fig. 2 view Il - Il of Fig. 1st
Fig. 1 zeigt eine Seitenansicht einer Druckmaschine 1. Diese Druckmaschine ist als typische Zentralzylinder-Flexodruckmaschine dargestellt. Diese umfasst einen zentralen Gegendruckzylinder 2, der in einem Maschinengestell 3a, 3b drehbar gelagert ist. Der bahnförmige Bedruckstoff 4 wird der Druckmaschine zunächst in Bahnlaufrichtung B zugeführt und durch die Anpresswalze 5 auf den Gegendruckzylinder 2 umgelenkt. Der Gegendruckzylinder dreht inFig. 1 shows a side view of a printing machine 1. This printing machine is shown as a typical central cylinder flexographic printing machine. This comprises a central impression cylinder 2, which is rotatably mounted in a machine frame 3a, 3b. The web-shaped printing material 4 is first fed to the printing press in the web running direction B and deflected by the pressure roller 5 onto the impression cylinder 2. The impression cylinder rotates in
Rotationsrichtung R, so dass der Bedruckstoff 5 nacheinander an den verschiedenen Farbwerken 6a bis 6j vorbeigeführt werden kann, wo er mit jeweils einer Druckfarbe dem Druckmotiv entsprechend bedruckt wird.Rotation direction R, so that the substrate 5 can be successively passed past the different inking units 6a to 6j, where he is printed with a respective printing ink according to the printing motif.
Anhand des Farbwerks 6c werden nun einzelne Bauteile eines Farbwerks beschrieben. Die Beschreibung ist auch für alle anderen Farbwerke 6a, 6b und 6d bis 6j gültig. Das Farbwerk 6c umfasst eine vordere Konsole 7c und eine hintere Konsole 8c (siehe Figur 2). Auf oder an diesen Konsolen sind nicht dargestellte Führungselemente, beispielsweise Führungsschienen, angebracht. Mithilfe dieser Führungselemente können die Lagerböcke 9c und 10c in Richtung auf den Gegendruckzylinder 2 verstellt werden, wobei diese Stellbewegung eine Bewegungskomponente in radialer Richtung des Gegendruckzylinders 2 umfasst. Die Stellbewegung der beiden Lagerböcke 9c und 10c kann unabhängig voneinander erfolgen. Hierfür sind an jeder Konsole 7c und 8c entsprechende Antriebe vorgesehen, beispielsweise eine elektromotorisch angetriebene Spindel-Spindelmutterkombination oder ein so genannter Linearmotor. In jedem Lagerbock 9c und 10c ist ein Zapfen 13c und 14c der Druckwalze 15c über passende, aber nicht näher dargestellte Lager drehbar gelagert. In den Lagerböcken 11c und 12c, die sich voneinander unabhängig und vorzugsweise unabhängig von den Lagerböcken 9c und 10c bewegen lassen, ist die Rasterwalze 16c über ihre Zapfen 17c und 18c drehbar gelagert.On the basis of the inking unit 6c individual components of an inking unit will now be described. The description is also valid for all other inking units 6a, 6b and 6d to 6j. The inking unit 6c comprises a front console 7c and a rear console 8c (see Figure 2). On or on these consoles guide elements, not shown, for example, guide rails mounted. By means of these guide elements, the bearing blocks 9 c and 10 c can be adjusted in the direction of the impression cylinder 2, wherein this adjusting movement comprises a component of movement in the radial direction of the impression cylinder 2. The adjusting movement of the two bearing blocks 9c and 10c can take place independently of each other. For this purpose, corresponding drives are provided on each console 7c and 8c, for example, an electric motor driven spindle spindle nut combination or a so-called linear motor. In each bearing block 9c and 10c, a pin 13c and 14c of the pressure roller 15c is rotatably supported via mating but not shown bearings. In the bearing blocks 11c and 12c, which can move independently of each other and preferably independently of the bearing blocks 9c and 10c, the anilox roller 16c is rotatably supported by its pins 17c and 18c.
Der Druckmaschine lassen sich zwei Seiten zuordnen. Die Seite, die die Seitenansicht gemäß Figur 1 darstellt, wird oft als Bedienseite BS bezeichnet. Die gegenüber liegende Seite wird entsprechend als Antriebsseite bezeichnet (siehe Figur 2).The press can be assigned to two pages. The side representing the side view according to FIG. 1 is often referred to as the operating side BS. The opposite side is accordingly called the drive side (see FIG. 2).
Die Druckmaschine 1 lässt sich in verschiedene Bereiche aufteilen. In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist eine vertikale Mittelebene 19 eingezeichnet, die die Druckmaschine in eine rechte Hälfte 20 und eine linke Hälfte 21 aufteilt. In jeder Hälfte ist die halbe Anzahl der vorhandenen Farbwerke angeordnet. In der rechten Hälfte 20 sind also die Farbwerke 6a bis 6e und in der linken Hälfte 21 die Farbwerke 6f bis 6j angeordnet. Jeweils zwei sich mit Bezug auf die vertikale Mittelebene gegenüber liegende Farbwerke sind, wenn man die oben beschriebenen Komponenten betrachtet, symmetrisch aufgebaut. Bei Druckmaschinen des Standes der Technik sind die Farbwerke spiegelsymmetrisch aufgebaut. Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Druckmaschine sind die Farbwerke dagegen rotationssymmetrisch aufgebaut. Was das bedeutet, wird durch die folgende Beschreibung deutlich.The printing machine 1 can be divided into different areas. In FIGS. 1 and 2, a vertical center plane 19 is shown, which divides the printing machine into a right half 20 and a left half 21. In each half half the number of existing inking units is arranged. In the right half 20 so the inking units 6a to 6e and in the left half 21, the inking units 6f to 6j are arranged. Each two inking units opposing each other with respect to the vertical center plane are symmetrically constructed, considering the components described above. In printing presses of the prior art, the inking units are constructed mirror-symmetrically. In a printing press according to the invention, however, the inking units are rotationally symmetrical. What this means becomes clear from the following description.
Erfindungsgemäß äußert sich diese Rotationssymmetrie darin, dass der Antriebsmotor 22c für den Druckzylinder 15c auf der Bedienseite der Druckmaschine 1 angeordnet ist, der Antriebsmotor 22h für den Druckzylinder 15h hingegen auf der Antriebsseite. Die Farbwerke 6c und 6h, die die Druckzylinder 15c respektive 15h umfassen, sind in Bezug auf die vertikale Mittelebene 20 gegenüber liegend angeordnet.According to the invention, this rotational symmetry manifests itself in that the drive motor 22c for the printing cylinder 15c is arranged on the operating side of the printing machine 1, whereas the drive motor 22h for the printing cylinder 15h is arranged on the drive side. The inking units 6c and 6h, which include the printing cylinders 15c and 15h, respectively, are opposed to each other with respect to the vertical center plane 20.
Der Antriebsmotoren 23a bis 23j der Rasterwalzen 16a bis 16j sind an dem jeweils anderen Enden angeordnet. Ist also der Antriebsmotor eines Druckzylinders beispielsweise auf der Bedienseite angeordnet, so ist der Antriebsmotor der diesem Druckzylinder zugeordneten Rasterwalze auf der Antriebsseite angeordnet.The drive motors 23a to 23j of the anilox rollers 16a to 16j are disposed at the other ends, respectively. Thus, if the drive motor of a printing cylinder is arranged, for example, on the operating side, the drive motor of the raster roller assigned to this printing cylinder is arranged on the drive side.
Dementsprechend sind auch die Antriebe der Rasterwalzen von jeweils sich gegenüber liegenden Farbwerken an gegenüber liegenden Seiten der Druckmaschine angeordnet. Die Anordnung der Antriebe des Farbwerks 6h ergibt sich also daraus, dass diese Anordnung wie bei dem Farbwerk 6c vorgenommen wird, jedoch gegenüber diesem um 180 Grad um die Rotationsachse 24 gedreht wird. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn wesentliche Komponenten eines Farbwerks identisch sind und einfach rotationssymmetrisch auf der gegenüber liegenden Seite der Mittelebene 19 angeordnet werden. Diese wesentlichen Komponenten können als funktionelle Komponenten bezeichnet werden. Zwei gegenüberliegende Farbwerke sind, wenn man diese funktionellen Komponenten betrachtet, im Wesentlichen oder sogar vollständig identisch. Es ist jedoch einleuchtend, dass solche Elemente wie Elektrokabel oder Farbzuführschläuche nicht hierunter fallen, da diese vorteilhafterweise zu einer Seite der Druckmaschine, beispielsweise der Antriebsseite, gezogen werden. Etwa Elektrokabel werden in der Regel zu zentral angeordneten Schaltschränken geführt.Accordingly, the drives of the anilox rollers of each opposing inking units are arranged on opposite sides of the printing press. The arrangement of the drives of the inking unit 6h thus results from the fact that this arrangement is made as in the inking unit 6c, but is rotated relative to this by 180 degrees about the rotation axis 24. It is particularly advantageous if essential components of an inking unit are identical and are simply arranged rotationally symmetrically on the opposite side of the center plane 19. These essential components can be referred to as functional components. Two opposing inking units, when looking at these functional components, are substantially or even completely identical. However, it is obvious that such elements as electrical cables or paint supply hoses do not fall under this, since they are advantageously drawn to one side of the printing machine, for example the drive side. About electrical cables are usually led to centrally located cabinets.
Sogar die beiden Teile 3a und 3b des Maschinengestells können rotationssymmetrisch aufgebaut sein. Vorteilhaft ist es auch, wenn jeweils ein Teil des Maschinengestells, 3a oder/und 3b, tatsächlich in eine rechte Hälfte und eine linke Hälfte 21 aufgeteilt wird, wobei diese Hälften dann identisch wären. In diesem Fall könnten zum Bau der Druckmaschine zwei identische Druckmaschinenhälften inklusive der Farbwerke vormontiert und erst später zusammengefügt werden. Even the two parts 3a and 3b of the machine frame can be constructed rotationally symmetrical. It is also advantageous if in each case a part of the machine frame, 3a and / or 3b, is actually divided into a right half and a left half 21, these halves would then be identical. In this case, two identical printing machine halves, including the inking units, could be pre-assembled for the construction of the press and assembled later.
