Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printing machine for printing on printed products such as newspapers, magazines and magazines, comprising at least one printing unit with a printing cylinder, a plate cylinder and an inking unit consisting of a plurality of inking rollers and a paint roller, which selectively at least a first ductor roller or a second ductor roller is engageable, which first ductor roller cooperates with a first ink fountain and a first colorimeter and which second ductor roller with a second ink fountain and a second colorimeter, wherein the first colorimeter and the second colorimeter with adjusting means for zoning of the color film on the respective ductor roller are provided, and means for washing the rollers.
  • Such printing machines are known, they are used in particular for the production of printed mass products such as newspapers, magazines and magazines.
  • large and costly production facilities are required.
  • the price of these products is determined on the one hand by the costs of the raw materials (color, paper) and on the other hand by the costs of the means of production (printing press).
  • a printing machine is known in which an inking unit is provided with a plurality of ink fountain and ductor roller.
  • a circulating endless ribbon is adapted, which can be pressed against one of the ductor rollers.
  • Each color meter of the respective ductor roller must be set individually.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to design a printing press with such inking that switching from one product to another, in which different Color qualities must be used, with the least possible effort and in a very short time can be performed.
  • the solution of this object is achieved in that the first colorimeter, which cooperates with the first ductor roller, and the second colorimeter, which cooperates with the second ductor roller, are attached to a color knife bar, and that both colorimeters are simultaneously adjustable via common adjustment means.
  • the changeover from one color or color quality to the other, and thus from one print product production to another can be carried out very rapidly.
  • the adjustment means do not have to be used twice, which allows a simple structure, which is also reflected in terms of cost.
  • the ink film roller in swivel levers which are pivotally supported on both sides of the ink film roller on the frame of the printing press, rotatably mounted, which allows easy changeover of the ink film roller from the first ductor roller to the second ductor roller.
  • the first ductor roller and the second ductor roller can be driven to rotate by means of drive means, wherein the drive means are formed in particular from a single drive motor and gear wheels, which enables a simple and cost-effective construction.
  • the pivoting range of the pivot lever is limited by adjustable stops, which results in a simple manner, an accurate positioning of the ink fountain roller with respect to the first and the second ductor roller.
  • the adjusting means are composed of zone-wise adjusting elements, each adjusting element being adjustable individually by means of an adjusting screw and each adjusting element having a first cam which is in contact with the corresponding zone of the first colorimeter acts, and a second cam, which acts on the corresponding zone of the second colorimeter, is provided, which allows a simple and inexpensive construction.
  • one of the two cams is adjustable.
  • this cam can be additionally adjusted with respect to the cam set via the adjusting means.
  • a simple construction of the ink fountain can be achieved in that one of the two ink fountain is formed by the corresponding ink knife with side ink fountain walls and the respective ductor roller, and that the other ink fountain is designed as a dip tank for the corresponding ductor roller.
  • Another simple structure of the ink fountain is obtained by the fact that the first ink fountain are formed by the colorimeter bar mounted on the first ink knife with side ink fountain walls and the first ductor roller and the second ink fountain by the same color knife bar mounted second colorimeter with side ink fountain walls and the second ductor roller.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the ink film roller is in contact with a color intermediate roller, which is engageable with a first ink transfer roller when the ink film roller is employed on the first ductor roller and which is engageable with a second ink transfer roller when the ink film roller to the second ductor roller is employed, and that the first ink transfer roller and the second ink transfer roller are set against each other.
  • the direction of rotation of the ink film roller which can change depending on the arrangement of the ink fountain on the ductor rollers, can be adjusted in a simple manner.
  • the intermediate color roller is also in the pivot lever, in which the ink film roller is rotatably mounted, rotatable stored.
  • the ink fountain roller can be changed in accordance with the ink fountain roller in a simple manner.
  • FIG. 1 an inking unit 1 of a printing unit of a printing press is shown, which comprises in a known manner two inking rollers 2 and 8, which are employed on a plate cylinder 4. An inking roller 5 is in contact with these two inking rollers 2 and 3. At this ink roller 5, a first intermediate roller 6 is employed, which in turn is in contact with a further inking roller. 7
