Definitions

  • Offset printing machines be it so-called web presses, in which a paper web is printed, or sheetfed presses in which already cut sheets are transported through the machine and printed on one or both sides color, have several printing units, each printing unit in turn has an inking and the respective inking unit again a paint tray extending across the width of the print format.
  • the so-called ink ductor which removes the ink to be printed from the ink tray and further promotes to the other rollers of the inking unit.
  • the liquid anilox used for this purpose is taken up in a chambered doctor blade, which rests against a so-called anilox roller, which occupies a similar function as the ductor in this case.
  • Washing devices for offset printing machines are described, for example, in the following documents: US 8056476 B2 . US8033219 B2 . US 7677174 B2 . US 7533609 B2 and US 7373882 B2 ,
  • a job change is therefore not only connected with downtime for the printing press because of the above-mentioned cleaning processes, but the cleaning processes contribute significantly to the downtimes.
  • EP 0654350 B 1 is proposed to make the wash sequence programs variable and to make, for example, the time course, operating parameters of the printing press or the degree of contamination.
  • the EP 0654350 B1 to run the wash cycle programs fully automatically to completely remove the influence of an operator.
  • This also includes reinserting a fresh film and re-filling new paint in the paint tray either also manually with the paint spatula or by inserting a corresponding new ink cartridge in an automatic refill system that moves back and forth over the ink fountain and this filled and optionally replenished.
  • the filling of the old paint and the re-filling of the new paint naturally occurs when only a single printer operates the machine, sequentially.
  • the invention has therefore set itself the goal, in such a case d. H. in a method for cleaning inking units in offset printing machines, in which the ink pans of the individual inking units of the printing units are sequentially emptied one after the other and then refilled with ink to reduce set-up times when changing jobs.
  • This object is achieved in that immediately after the emptying of the first ink tray of the washing process for the associated inking is started before the other ink pans are emptied, and each time after emptying another of the other ink pans the washing process for the respective other inking is started and that the refilling of the first ink tray is started while still washing operations for one or more of the further inking units are underway.
  • the cleaning program for the blanket or the printing cylinder of the associated printing unit can already be started while the emptying of the first ink tray is started.
  • All of the inking units of the printing press can also be driven together via the main drive of the printing press and be in motion while the printer is working on emptying the ink pans. A separate coupling and uncoupling of individual inking units especially for the cleaning process is not required.
  • the end of the emptying of the ink pan is either automatically detected and used to start the wash program for the associated inking, or if the respective inking unit or printing unit within reach of the printer, which emptied there the paint tray , a switch or button is attached, with which this can then start the washing sequence without having to go to the control panel of the printing press.
  • this can be done by a sensor that detects the folding of the ink tray of the ink fountain roller, so the movement that is performed by the printer at the end of the emptying.
  • Such a sensor, pushbutton or switch not only serves the convenience of the printer, but reduces the set-up time, as this does not have to interrupt his work to start the washing sequence on the control panel, but immediately on the next printing unit with the emptying of the ink tray can begin.
  • the ink pans, inking units or printing units of the printing machine can be associated with display devices which are connected to the controller for the inking unit washing and the printer to indicate the order of emptying of the ink fountain by corresponding optical signals.
  • FIG. 1 shows an offset printing machine 1 in a row construction with a feeder 2, in which the unprinted paper stack 3 is located, and four printing units 7a - d for the four primary colors black, yellow, magenta and cyan. Between the printing units, the sheets to be printed are conveyed by transfer drums 12a-c to the respective counter-pressure cylinders 4b-d of the printing units. On the fourth printing unit 7d follows the boom 9 of the printing press. In it gripper bars 11 run around by means of a chain guide. These gripper bars 11 take over the printed sheet and lead it to the sheet stack 10, where it is stored.
  • Each of the four printing units 7a-d has an impression cylinder 4a, a blanket cylinder 5a and a printing form cylinder 6a, on which the respective printing plate is mounted.
  • the printing plates are dyed by inking units 8a-d, one of which will be described in more detail below.
  • the functions in the printing units 7a-d, the feeder 2 and the feeder 9 are operated, controlled and monitored by a machine control 56.
  • FIG. 2 shown inking unit has a paint tray 13, a ductor roller 14, four inking rollers 28, 29, 30 and 31, with which the printing plate is inked on the cylinder 6a, and a number of other rollers 15 to 27, of which the color of the ductor 14 removed, distributed and triturated and then fed to the applicator rolls.
  • 15 of the clockwise between the ductor 14 and the roller 21 oscillating color lifter is designated.
  • the rollers 21, 22, 23 and 24 are traversing distributor rollers, the drivers 23 and 24 being cooled.
  • the ductor 15 and the rollers 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 are provided as well as the four inking rollers 28 to 31 with a rubber jacket, while the bridge roller 32, between the Dampening roller 37 and the first inking roller 28 is arranged, as well as the rollers 27, 26 and 25 are steel rollers.
  • a trough 42 with a washing blade 41 is provided, which can be placed against the roller 24. Furthermore, spray pipes 43 and 44 are provided, of which can be sprayed in the course of issued by a control commands to two valves 53 and 54 and wash liquids in the inking unit.
  • the ink tray 13 is symbolized by the arrow 51 pivotable about an axis 50 and can be moved away so after their emptying of ductor 14 and locked to a stop 52.
  • a limit switch 57 is attached, recognized by the completed Abstelliolo the paint tray and is signaled to the part 55 of the controller 56, which is responsible for the washing operations.
  • the printer has hitherto proceeded according to the prior art as follows ( FIG. 3 : above): It is assumed that three of the four inking units must be cleaned, while in the fourth inking unit z. B. the color black can remain.
  • the washing of the blanket and possibly printing cylinders starts in all printing units that were used at the end of the order. This is symbolized by the bar labeled GTW.
  • the printer begins to paint the ink from the ink tray of the first printing unit 1. The time required for this is indicated by the bar labeled DW 1. Then he folds the ink tray off the ductor and goes to the next printing unit, where he continues with the emptying there. This is symbolized by the bar labeled DW 2. Thereafter, the same process for the printing unit 3 (DW 3).
  • the printer goes to the control panel and starts the washing operations for the inking units in the printing units 1 to 3, which then all run at the same time. This is symbolized by the three superimposed bars, which are each labeled FW 1 to FW 3.
  • the printer refills ink in the printing units 1 to 3 (bars DW 1 to DW 3). It takes about 3 minutes for the inking unit wash FW to wait for the printer before it can start refilling the ink pans.
  • the printer can immediately start refilling the first printing unit DW 1 and then also the remaining trays for the inking units in the printing units 2 and 3 as soon as the washing operation is completed in the respective inking unit ,
  • the set-up time required for cleaning the inking units of previously 12 minutes shorten as shown in the diagram after FIG. 3 below given to about 9 minutes, although the washing operations for the inking units in the printing units 1 to 3 are not performed in parallel, but partly overlapping sequentially, basically by a shortened waiting time for the printer.
