Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a web-fed printing press, in particular a format-variable letterpress printing press according to claim 1.
  • Web presses are known from the prior art in principle, for example, from standard textbooks for web offset printing. So are off Wolfgang Walenski, The Web Offset Printing, 1995, pp. 98-103 For example, web presses for letterpress printing known. Likewise, such web presses are for printing out Helmut Teschner, Offsetdrucktechnik, 1997, p. 10/76 - 10/82 known.
  • web presses are out of the printing press DE 40 30 863 A1 It is known where a web-fed rotary printing machine is described, which has two successive longitudinal folding devices with two formers, wherein the first longitudinal folding device is arranged rotated by 90 ° relative to the second.
  • the mentioned web presses are all designed as rotary printing machines, so use for applying ink to a paper web rotating printing cylinder in the form of plate cylinders carrying the printing plates and in the form of transfer cylinders or rubber cylinders, which transfer the ink from the plate cylinder to the paper web.
  • p 10/76 is already pointed to the problem of procedural disadvantages due to fixed cylinder peripheries, but there is still working with web offset printing machines, so with web presses having rotating printing cylinder.
  • printing presses and also folders with fixed cylinder circumference and thus fixed printing section or printing format are used in web-fed printing presses, in particular in letterpress web presses.
  • the plate cylinder and transfer cylinder or blanket cylinder have a fixed, defined scope, are also the associated folders set up to these fixed volumes and thus fixed print formats.
  • the producible print formats and printed products are always the same over the entire life of the web press, given by the fixed peripheries of the cylinders.
  • Such fixed formats and, however, are not economically and / or technically optimized especially for short runs (eg less than 1000 pieces) and very small runs (eg smaller than 100 pieces).
  • the production costs of printing plates and the set-up time for printing plate change have a much greater effect on the production costs of the printed products for smaller runs than on printed products that are printed in always the same print format in large numbers (eg of thousands).
  • the same can also apply to newspaper printing and commercial printing with short runs and very small print runs, especially for contract printers, who have to provide constantly changing print products on behalf of a large number of customers and publishers.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art. This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
  • a first subject of the invention relates to a web-fed printing press with printing units having printing devices or groups of printing devices for applying printing ink to a paper web.
  • the printing devices or groups of printing devices are all formed free of rotating printing cylinders.
  • the printing units for applying printing ink are also suitable for applying to any other type of liquid substance which is to be applied to a paper web, such as, for example, varnish, liquid adhesives, dampening solution or the like.
  • the paper web on a roll does not have this limitation, as it has virtually "infinite" extension - limited only by the web width of the web - and allows the printing of any size formats.
  • the print formats of a print image or a print page can be characterized in particular by the length (extension in the direction of the paper web) and / or the width (extension in the direction transverse to the paper web), but also by the orientation (distance of the print image from the edge of the paper web , Distances between the print images, angle between the image longitudinal edge and the direction of travel of the paper web) on the paper web differ.
  • An embodiment or an alternative of the invention provides that the printing devices or groups of printing devices are designed for non-contact application of printing ink to the paper web. These can be designed in particular as a device for dripping or spraying ink with the aid of a dripping device or nozzle device, for example in the form of an inkjet device. This avoids direct contact between the paper web and printing devices and enables a variable-format application of printing ink to the paper web.
  • the direction of the paper web in the context of this invention does not define a global fixed plane in space, because the paper web undergoes several changes of direction and possibly also wraps, as the figures clearly show. However, it is for the expert locally - ie for each web section of the paper web - each one clear spatial direction from the local direction of the paper web determined.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that the printing devices or groups of printing devices have a nozzle device for spraying ink onto the paper web, for example in the form of an inkjet device.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that printing devices or groups of printing devices are mounted from a printing position swiveling or displaceable. This panning or shifting may be e.g. used for the maintenance or replacement of the printing devices or groups of printing devices.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that printing devices or groups of printing devices or printing devices adjacent Brucreamieri are mounted displaceable perpendicular to the web plane for guiding the paper web. This can be used in particular for the relative alignment of the printing devices or groups of printing devices or the web guide elements to each other and / or relative to the paper web.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that printing devices or groups of printing devices or the printing devices adjacent web guide elements for guiding the paper web by a control device so perpendicular to the web plane controlled or regulated are displaced, that in each case a predefined distance between the paper web and the printing devices is maintained. This may be necessary in particular in printing devices which have a nozzle device.
  • An embodiment of the invention provides that the individual printing devices of a group of printing devices are each designed to apply different printing inks. It can therefore be provided in principle that printing devices print the paper web with only a single ink. However, it can also be provided that printing devices are provided for printing various printing inks, wherein in each case certain printing devices for printing different printing inks are combined to form a group. These groups are characterized for example by a similar spatial arrangement or a common control.
  • Fig. 1 shows a web-fed printing press, in particular a variable-format heatset web press, for example, for letterpress or commercial printing.
  • This has a roll changer 101, from which a paper web 108 is unwound and is guided by printing units 102a, 102b.

  • the rotational speed is adjusted per revolution of the rotating cutting device so that at least when the contact between the cutting blade 16 and the paper web 108 are both equally fast, there is no relative velocity between the two at the point of contact. If, in this case, the angular velocity wS of the cutting device 6 and thus also of each cutting blade 16 - or more precisely the tangential component of the rotational speed of the contacting cutting blade 16 in the running direction of the paper web 108 is smaller than the conveying speed vB of the paper web 108, then at the time tK of the contact between Cutting blade 16 and paper web 108 towards an acceleration of the cutting blade 16 on conveying speed vB.
  • the angular velocity ws' of the cutting device 6 and thus also of each cutting blade 16 - or more precisely, the tangential component of the rotational speed of the contacting cutting blade 16 in the direction of the paper web 108 is greater than the conveying speed vB of the paper web 108, then at the time tK of the contact between Cutting knife 16 and paper web 108 toward a delay of the cutting blade 16 on conveying speed vB. As a result, a tearing or picking of the paper web 108 is avoided in each case.

  • the drive 11 is controlled or regulated by the control device 20 or a separate control device in such a way that a slowing down of the transport movement of the previously accelerated paper sheets B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 takes place.
  • the device 10 is designed such that, in addition to the slowing down, raising or lowering of at least part of the paper sheets B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 causes the paper sheets B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 to flare up to achieve, as in Fig. 26 shown. This is done after Fig. 23 by a disc or roller 15, which has at least one cam 13 in the circumferential direction, which cooperates with a corresponding counter cam 14 of a corresponding counter-disc or counter-roller 17.
  • Fig. 26 shows how the individual paper sheets B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 are pushed together into a scale. Subsequently, this scale is compacted in a downstream collator into a stack of superimposed paper sheets 1... 6, for example into a book block and, if necessary, the side edges are then trimmed again to obtain a stack of individual sheets, for example in the form of a conventional one Buches as the final printed product of a letterpress production type. View X shows a top view of this stack. It shows in the example Fig. 26 each sheet has two printed pages. This corresponds to the result of a production type Fig. 21 ,

Each partial web TB is then subsequently cut by the cutting device 6 into paper sheets B1, B2.
  • the partial webs TB produced in the web turning device 104 are no longer folded, but these are merely cut by the cutting device 6 into paper sheets B1, B2, B3 - possibly after some or all of the part webs TB by corresponding devices such as turning bars in the web turning device 104 were superimposed. Subsequently, the paper sheets B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 flatten out again, as in FIG Fig. 26 shown.
