Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein System zum Bedrucken eines Objekts gemäß Anspruch 1, welches wenigstens einen nicht ebenen Bereich der Oberfläche des Objekts mit einem Bild bedruckt.The present invention relates to a system for printing an object according to claim 1, which prints at least one non-planar area of the surface of the object with an image.
Im Stand der Technik ist es bereits bekannt, nicht ebene Bereiche der Oberfläche eines Objekts, z. B. gekrümmte Abschnitte von Karosserien von Fahrzeugen, mit einem Tintenstrahl-Druckkopf zu bedrucken und dabei beliebige, mehrfarbige Bilder auf der Oberfläche zu erzeugen. Zu diesem Zweck wird der Druckkopf an einem Roboter, z. B. einem Gelenkarmroboter, entlang der Oberfläche des Objekts in einem definierten Abstand zur Oberfläche geführt, so dass die vom Druckkopf ausgestoßenen Tintentröpfchen an die gewünschten Stellen auf der Oberfläche gelangen und dort das gewünschte Bild erzeugen. Da die Oberfläche des Objekts in der Regel weitaus größer als die Ausdehnung des Druckkopfes ist, ist es notwendig, den Druckkopf mehrfach auf sogenannten Druckbahnen entlang der Oberfläche zu führen und das gewünschte Druckbild aus den nebeneinander liegenden Druckbahnen aufzubauen. Dabei ist es wiederum erforderlich, dass die Druckbahnen derart aneinander anschließen, dass keine optisch wahrnehmbaren Störungen an den Kanten der Druckbahnen erzeugt werden. Wird z. B. eine zweite Druckbahn in zu großem Abstand zur ersten Druckbahn erzeugt, so kann es sein, dass zwischen den beiden Druckbahnen ein wahrnehmbarer Streifen entsteht, der das gewünschte Druckbild stört. Gleichfalls kann es möglich sein, dass die beiden Druckbahnen zu weit überlappen und dadurch ebenfalls ein wahrnehmbarer Streifen zwischen den beiden Druckbahnen entsteht, der das gewünschte Druckbild stören kann. Solche Störungen im Druckbild können z.B. dann entstehen, wenn die Mechanik der Druckkopf-Führung keine ausreichende Präzision aufweist. Sie können aber z.B. auch entstehen, wenn der Druckkopf während seiner Bewegung Fliehkräften ausgesetzt ist, so dass die ausgestoßenen Tropfen nicht an den gewünschten Stellen auf der Oberfläche platziert werden.In the prior art, it is already known, non-planar areas of the surface of an object, for. B. curved sections of bodies of vehicles to print with an inkjet printhead and thereby produce any multicolored images on the surface. For this purpose, the printhead is attached to a robot, e.g. As an articulated arm robot, guided along the surface of the object at a defined distance from the surface, so that the ejected from the print head ink droplets reach the desired locations on the surface and generate the desired image there. Since the surface of the object is usually much larger than the extent of the print head, it is necessary to repeatedly guide the print head on so-called print paths along the surface and build the desired print image from the juxtaposed print webs. In this case, it is again necessary for the printing webs to adjoin one another in such a way that no visually perceptible disturbances are produced at the edges of the printing webs. If z. For example, if a second printing web is generated at too great a distance from the first printing web, then it may be that a perceptible strip is formed between the two printing webs, which disturbs the desired printed image. Likewise, it may be possible that the two printing webs overlap too far and thus also creates a noticeable strip between the two printing webs, which can disturb the desired printed image. Such disturbances in the printed image can arise, for example, when the mechanics of the print head guide does not have sufficient precision. However, they may also arise, for example, when the printhead is subjected to centrifugal forces during its movement, so that the ejected drops are not placed at the desired locations on the surface.

Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein System zum Bedrucken eines Objektes, welches wenigstens einen nicht ebenen Bereich der Oberfläche eines Objektes mit einem Bild bedruckt, zu schaffen, welches Streifenbildung beim Bedrucken der Oberfläche in mehreren Druckbahnen verhindert oder wenigstens soweit reduziert, dass die verbleibenden Streifen nicht als störend wahrgenommen werden.Against this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide a system for printing an object which imprints at least one non-planar area of the surface of an object with an image, which prevents or at least reduces striping when printing the surface in multiple printing webs in that the remaining strips are not perceived as disturbing.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den zugehörigen Unteransprüchen sowie aus der Beschreibung und den Zeichnungen.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the accompanying dependent claims and from the description and the drawings.
Ein erfindungsgemäßes System zum Bedrucken eines Objektes, welches wenigstens einen nicht ebenen Bereich der Oberfläche des Objekts mit einem Bild bedruckt, weist folgende Merkmale auf: ein Tintenstrahl-Druckkopf mit Düsen; ein Roboter, welcher eine Primärbewegung erzeugt, wobei die Primärbewegung wenigstens zwei seitlich zueinander liegende Druckbahnen des Tintenstrahl-Druckkopfs umfasst; und eine Vorrichtung, welche eine Sekundärbewegung erzeugt, wobei die Sekundärbewegung im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Primärbewegung erfolgt und wodurch die Druckbahnen seitlich aneinander anschließen.An inventive system for printing an object which imprints at least one non-planar area of the surface of the object with an image has the following features: an ink-jet printhead with nozzles; a robot which generates a primary movement, the primary movement comprising at least two laterally juxtaposed printing paths of the inkjet printhead; and a device which generates a secondary movement, wherein the secondary movement is substantially perpendicular to the primary movement and whereby the pressure paths laterally adjoin one another.
Das Vorsehen der Vorrichtung zur Erzeugung von Sekundärbewegungen in dem erfindungsgemäßen System führt in vorteilhafterweise dazu, dass Positionsabweichungen des Tintenstrahl-Druckkopfs, d. h. Abweichungen der Ist-Position von der Soll-Position für das Drucken eines fehlerfreien Bildes, während der Primärbewegung ausgeglichen werden können, wodurch sichtbare und daher störende Streifen zwischen den Druckbahnen verhindert oder ausreichend reduziert werden können. Dass die Druckbahnen seitlich aneinander anschließen, meint dabei, dass die Kanten der einzelnen Druckbahnen derart exakt nebeneinander liegen, dass weder zu große Abstände zwischen den Kanten noch ein zu großer Überlapp erzeugt wird und dass dadurch störende, insbesondere zu helle oder zu dunkle Streifen im Bereich der Kanten der Druckbahnen verhindert oder ausreichend reduziert werden. Die Primärbewegung, welche der Roboter erzeugt ist dabei bevorzugt eine Bewegung des Tintenstrahl-Druckkopfes, welcher beispielsweise mehrere, seitlich zueinander liegende Druckbahnen in gleicher Richtung oder auch in entgegengesetzter Richtung durchläuft. Beispielsweise kann eine erste Druckbahn bei einer Hinbewegung des Druckkopfes über der Oberfläche des Objektes erzeugt werden und eine zweite an diese anschließende Druckbahn bei einer Rückbewegung des Druckkopfes benachbart zur ersten Druckbahn. Es kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, den Druckkopf zunächst inaktiv zurückzuführen und parallel zur ersten Druckbahn wieder vorwärts zu bewegen. Der Roboter kann ein Gelenkarm-Roboter oder eine Portal-Roboter sein.The provision of the device for generating secondary movements in the system according to the invention advantageously leads to positional deviations of the inkjet printhead, i. H. Deviations of the actual position from the desired position for printing a defect-free image, during the primary movement can be compensated, whereby visible and therefore disturbing stripes between the printing webs can be prevented or reduced sufficiently. The fact that the pressure paths laterally adjoin one another, means that the edges of the individual printing webs are so exactly adjacent to each other that neither too large distances between the edges still too much overlap is generated and thereby annoying, especially too light or too dark stripes in the area the edges of the printing lines are prevented or reduced sufficiently. The primary movement, which is generated by the robot is preferably a movement of the inkjet printhead, which passes through, for example, a plurality of laterally juxtaposed printing webs in the same direction or in the opposite direction. For example, a first printing web can be generated during a forward movement of the print head over the surface of the object, and a second printing web adjacent thereto during a return movement of the print head adjacent to the first printing web. However, it can also be provided to initially return the print head inactive and to move it forward again parallel to the first print web. The robot may be an articulated arm robot or a portal robot.
Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Systems sieht vor, dass die Vorrichtung einen Piezo-Aktor bzw. ein elektro-mechanisches Bauelement umfasst und die Sekundärbewegung eine Bewegung des Tintenstrahl-Druckkopfes ist. Der Piezo-Aktor wirkt dabei auf den Tintenstrahl-Druckkopf als Ganzes ein und bewirkt, dass dieser senkrecht zur Primärbewegung die Sekundärbewegung als Ausgleichsbewegung ausführt.An advantageous development of the system according to the invention provides that the device comprises a piezoactuator or an electro-mechanical component and the secondary movement is a movement of the inkjet printhead. The piezo actuator acts on the inkjet printhead as a whole and causes it to perform perpendicular to the primary movement, the secondary movement as a compensating movement.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Systems ist es vorgesehen, dass die Vorrichtung einen Piezo-Aktor umfasst und die Sekundärbewegung eine Bewegung wenigstens einer Düse des Tintenstrahl-Druckkopfes ist. Gemäß dieser Weiterbildung wird somit nicht der Druckkopf als Ganzes, sondern lediglich wenigstens eine Düse senkrecht zur Primärbewegung bewegt. Dabei kann vorgesehen sein, dass die wenigstens eine Düse, eine Düsengruppe oder auch alle Düsen beweglich am Tintenstrahl-Druckkopf aufgenommen sind, so dass die Sekundärbewegung mittels des Piezo-Aktors als eine Relativbewegung bezüglich des Tintenstrahl-Druckkopfes erfolgt.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the system according to the invention, it is provided that the device comprises a piezoelectric actuator and the secondary movement is a movement of at least one nozzle of the inkjet printhead. According to this embodiment, therefore, not the printhead as a whole, but only at least one nozzle is moved perpendicular to the primary movement. It can be provided that the at least one nozzle, a nozzle group or even all nozzles are movably received on the inkjet printhead, so that the secondary movement by means of the piezo actuator takes place as a relative movement with respect to the inkjet printhead.
Es gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Sekundärbewegung weder den Druckkopf als Ganzes noch einzelne Düsen des Druckkopfes erfasst, sondern dass gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Systems die Vorrichtung einen Piezo-Aktor umfasst und die Sekundärbewegung eine Bewegung wenigstens der Tropfen einer Düse des Tintenstrahl-Druckkopfes ist. Dabei handelt es sich bei dem Piezo-Aktor nicht um einen Piezo-Aktor, der den Tropfen erzeugt, sondern um einen davon verschiedenen und separaten Piezo-Aktor.According to a further advantageous development, it can also be provided that the secondary movement does not detect the printhead as a whole nor individual nozzles of the printhead, but that according to a preferred embodiment of the system according to the invention the device comprises a piezoactuator and the secondary movement comprises a movement of at least the droplets a nozzle of the inkjet printhead is. The piezo actuator is not a piezoactuator that generates the droplet, but a separate and separate piezoactuator.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Systems kann sich dadurch auszeichnen, dass die Vorrichtung einen Detektor umfasst, der die Ist-Positionen von Druckpunkten einer ersten Druckbahn erfasst; dass die Vorrichtung einen Rechner umfasst, der die Abweichung der Ist-Positionen der Druckpunkte von deren Soll-Positionen berechnet; und dass die Vorrichtung als Sekundärbewegung eine die Abweichung im Wesentlichen kompensierende Ausgleichsbewegung auf der zweiten Druckbahn erzeugt. Mit anderen Worten: die (mögliche störende Streifen) ausgleichende Sekundärbewegung findet auf Basis eines Soll-Ist-Wert-Vergleiches von bereits gedruckten Druckpunkten statt.A further advantageous development of the system according to the invention can be characterized in that the device comprises a detector which detects the actual positions of pressure points of a first pressure path; in that the apparatus comprises a computer which calculates the deviation of the actual positions of the pressure points from their desired positions; and that the device generates as a secondary movement a compensating movement substantially compensating for the deviation on the second printing web. In other words, the (possibly disturbing stripes) compensating secondary movement takes place on the basis of a desired-actual-value comparison of already printed pressure points.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung kann vorgesehen sein, dass die Vorrichtung wenigstens einen Detektor umfasst, dass der Roboter ein Gelenkarm-Roboter ist, und dass der Detektor einen Drehgeber umfasst, welcher die Winkelposition eines Gelenkes des Gelenkarm-Roboters erfasst. Sofern der Gelenkarm-Roboter mehrere Gelenke aufweist, wird bevorzugt an jedem Gelenk ein Detektor vorgesehen, so dass die Position des Roboters im Raum und insbesondere des am Roboter aufgenommenen Druckkopfes im Raum als Ist-Position exakt bestimmt werden kann. Sofern diese Ist-Position von einer vorgegebenen Soll-Position abweicht, kann eine Nachführung des Roboters erfolgen. Die Nachführung dient dabei als (mögliche störende Streifen) ausgleichende Sekundärbewegung. Alternativ können auch Beschleunigungssensoren, Neigungssensoren, Gyrometer Anwendung finden, um die Koordinaten des Druckkopfes im Raum und ggf. auch in zeitliche Abfolge zu bestimmen.According to a further advantageous development it can be provided that the device comprises at least one detector, that the robot is an articulated arm robot, and that the detector comprises a rotary encoder which detects the angular position of a joint of the articulated arm robot. If the articulated arm robot has a plurality of joints, a detector is preferably provided at each joint, so that the position of the robot in space and in particular of the print head recorded on the robot can be determined exactly in space as the actual position. If this actual position deviates from a predetermined desired position, tracking of the robot can take place. The tracking serves as (possible disturbing stripes) compensating secondary movement. Alternatively, acceleration sensors, inclination sensors, gyrometers can be used to determine the coordinates of the print head in space and possibly also in chronological order.
Es kann ferner gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Systems vorgesehen sein, dass der Detektor einen optischen Sensor oder einen Ultraschall-Sensor umfasst, welcher auf die Oberfläche des Objektes gerichtet ist. Der Sensor kann beispielsweise auf der Oberfläche bereits zuvor gedruckte Druckpunkte des Bildes erfassen und daraus eine Kante der zuvor gedruckten Druckbahn bestimmen. Von Vorteil ist es dabei, wenn zumindest für die Druckfarbe von randnahen Düsen des Druckkopfes solche Druckfarben zum Einsatz kommen, die leicht mit dem Detektor aufgenommen werden können. Besonders von Vorteil ist dabei der Einsatz von speziellen Additiven in der Druckfarbe, welche beispielsweise eine Fluoreszenzeigenschaft aufweisen und deren Fluoreszenzlicht durch den Detektor mit hoher Präzision erfasst werden kann. Es kann daher gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Systems vorgesehen sein, dass der optische Sensor auf bereits gedruckte Druckpunkte auf der Oberfläche gerichtet ist und deren Fluoreszenzstrahlung erfasst. Auf diese Weise wird es möglich, die Kante einer zuvor gedruckten Bahn präzise zu erfassen und die Kante einer noch zu druckenden Bahn präzise an die erfasste Kante auszurichten und dadurch störende Streifenbildung zu unterbinden oder zu verringern.It can also be provided according to a further advantageous development of the system according to the invention, that the detector comprises an optical sensor or an ultrasonic sensor, which is directed to the surface of the object. By way of example, the sensor can detect previously printed print dots of the image on the surface and determine therefrom an edge of the previously printed print web. It is advantageous if at least for the ink of near-edge nozzles of the print head such printing inks are used, which can be easily taken with the detector. Particularly advantageous is the use of special additives in the printing ink, which for example have a fluorescence property and whose fluorescent light can be detected by the detector with high precision. It may therefore be provided according to a further advantageous embodiment of the system according to the invention that the optical sensor is directed to already printed pressure points on the surface and detects their fluorescence radiation. In this way, it becomes possible to precisely detect the edge of a previously printed web and to precisely align the edge of a web to be printed with the detected edge and thereby prevent or reduce troublesome banding.
Es kann gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Systems auch vorgesehen sein, ein sogenanntes Tracking-System einzusetzen, welches die Position des Tintenstrahl-Druckkopfes erfasst. Somit liegt ständig Information über die aktuelle Ist-Position des Druckkopfes im Raum vor und es können ständig Korrekturbewegungen in Form von (mögliche störende Streifen) ausgleichenden Sekundärbewegungen im Raum durchgeführt werden. Das Tracking-System verfolgt dabei einen bestimmten Punkt des Druckkopfes oder eine Markierung an diesem und ermittelt dessen Bahn im Raum. Alternativ befinden sich am Druckkopf drei Laser-Pointer, deren (bevorzugt rechtwinklig zueinander verlaufenden) Strahlen Lichtpunkte auf den umliegenden Wänden oder speziell vorgesehenen Detektionsschirmen erzeugen. Diese Lichtpunkte können kameratechnisch in ihrer Bewegung erfasst werden. Daraus wiederum kann die aktuelle Position des Druckkopfes errechnet werden.It can also be provided according to a further advantageous embodiment of the system according to the invention to use a so-called tracking system, which the Position of the inkjet printhead detected. Thus, there is always information about the current actual position of the print head in the room and it can constantly correction movements in the form of (possible disturbing stripes) balancing secondary movements are performed in space. The tracking system tracks a specific point of the print head or a mark on it and determines its path in space. Alternatively, there are three laser pointers on the print head whose (preferably perpendicular to each other) rays generate light spots on the surrounding walls or specially provided detection screens. These points of light can be detected camera-technically in their movement. In turn, the current position of the printhead can be calculated.
Es kann gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Systems auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Vorrichtung einen Detektor umfasst, der die Ist-Positionen von Druckpunkten einer ersten Druckbahn erfasst; dass die Vorrichtung einen Rechner umfasst, der die Abweichung der Ist-Positionen der Druckpunkte von deren Soll-Positionen berechnet; und dass die Vorrichtung als Sekundärbewegung eine die Abweichung im Wesentlichen korrespondierende, seitliche Verschiebung des zu druckenden Bildes relativ zu den Düsen erzeugt. Vorteilhaft bei dieser Weiterbildung ist es, dass bei der Sekundärbewegung keine Komponenten des Druckkopfes bewegt werden, sondern dass lediglich eine Verschiebung des Bildes stattfindet, derart, dass ein Druckpunkt nicht mit einer ersten Düse, sondern z. B. mit einer zu dieser benachbarten zweiten Düse gedruckt wird. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass der Druckpunkt um eine oder mehrere Druckdüse bzw. Druckdüsen versetzt auf die Oberfläche des Objektes gelangt, ohne dass der Druckkopf oder die Düse selbst bewegt werden müssen. Da dabei keine Massen bewegt werden müssen, sind solche Ausgleichsbewegungen sehr schnell und in Abhängigkeit der Rechenkapazität des benötigten Rechners sogar in Echtzeit möglich.It can also be provided according to a further advantageous development of the system according to the invention that the device comprises a detector which detects the actual positions of pressure points of a first pressure path; in that the apparatus comprises a computer which calculates the deviation of the actual positions of the pressure points from their desired positions; and in that the device generates, as a secondary movement, a lateral displacement, which substantially corresponds to the deviation, of the image to be printed relative to the nozzles. An advantage of this development is that in the secondary movement no components of the print head are moved, but that only a shift of the image takes place, such that a pressure point not with a first nozzle, but z. B. is printed with an adjacent to this second nozzle. This ensures that the pressure point offset by one or more pressure nozzle or pressure nozzles on the surface of the object passes without the printhead or the nozzle itself must be moved. Since no masses have to be moved, such compensatory movements are possible very quickly and even in real time, depending on the computing capacity of the required computer.

Es kann nun vorgesehen sein, dass der Roboter 5 und der daran aufgenommene Druckkopf 4 von seiner aktuellen Soll-Position abweicht und daher die Druckbahn A in einem Abstand zur Druckbahn B aufgebracht wird ober mit der Druckbahn B überlappt. In beiden Fällen kann es dabei zu sichtbaren und daher störenden Streifenbildungen an der Stelle 8 kommen. Solche Störungen können erfindungsgemäß jedoch verhindert werden. In den nachfolgenden

Konkretes und bevorzugtes Beispiel: Die Tropfengröße der Tropfen 9 (mittlerer Durchmesser) auf der Oberfläche 2 liegt bei etwa 100 Mikrometer. Der Mittenabstand der Tropfen 9 voneinander liegt ebenfalls bei etwa 100 Mikrometer. Die Variation der Auftreffpunkte und die Bahngenauigkeit des Roboters 5 liegen ebenfalls bei etwa 100 Mikrometer. Somit kann über die Erzeugung einer Sekundärbewegung in dieser Größenordnung die störende Streifenbildung reduziert oder verhindert werden.Specific and preferred example: The drop size of the drops 9 (average diameter) on the

Die Vibrationen des Piezo-Aktors 10 erzeugen Variationen der Auftreffpunkte der Tropfen bzw. der Druckpunkte 9. Diese Variationen können bevorzugt im bevorzugten Beispiel in der Größenordnungen 10 bis 100 Mikrometer liegen. Die Vibrationen können einem weißen Rauschen entsprechen. Die Vibrationen können auch über die Zeit periodisch sein, müssen dann allerdings in einem nicht ganzzahligen Verhältnis zur Taktfrequenz stehen, mit der die Druckpunkte 9 erzeugt werden.The vibrations of the

Eine alternative Lösung sieht vor, dass der Druckkopf beim Drucken im "multi-pass"-Betrieb bei verschiedenen Durchgängen mit verschiedenen Geschwindigkeiten bewegt wird, wodurch eine Sekundärbewegung infolge der Variation in der Flugbahn der Tropfen erzeugt wird.An alternative approach is to move the printhead in multi-pass printing at various speeds at various speeds, thereby producing secondary motion due to variation in the trajectory of the drops.
Gemäß einer weiteren alternativen Lösung werden beim Drucken im "multi-pass"-Betrieb im Bereich der Kante nicht alle Druckpunkte bei einem ersten Durchlauf gedruckt. Die Lücken zwischen den Druckpunkten des ersten Durchlaufs werden bei einem zweiten oder weiteren Durchläufen gefüllt. Druckbahn A und Druckbahn B greifen somit gewissermaßen ineinander und es gibt keine geraden Kanten zwischen ihnen.According to another alternative solution, when printing in "multi-pass" mode in the area of the edge, not all printing dots are printed on a first pass. The gaps between the pressure points of the first pass are filled in a second or further passes. Printing web A and printing web B thus effectively engage each other and there are no straight edges between them.
