Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for adjusting the printing length of a printed image in a multicolor rotary printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the multicolor printed image is transferred to the printing substrate by successively transferring a plurality of printing cylinders, the so-called format cylinders, one color each onto the printing substrate, wherein the areas of the format cylinders carrying the ink deliver this ink completely or partially to the printing material. Several overlapping colors eventually lead to the printed image.
- the printing material is guided over one or more impression cylinders. If a single counter-pressure cylinder is present, then the format cylinders are employed on this counter-pressure cylinder, so that the printing inks can be completely transferred as far as possible. If there are several impression cylinders, then each impression cylinder is often assigned a single format cylinder. It can be assigned to each impression cylinder but also two or even more format cylinder.
- the peripheral speeds of all format cylinders should be identical and also coincide with the or the peripheral speeds of the impression cylinder or cylinders.
- each individual cylinder is its own, position-controlled Drive equipped so that the peripheral speed can be set very accurately.
- a high print quality is achieved.
- the so-called print length on the substrate results from a one-time unwinding of the format cylinder, the so-called print length on the substrate. If the print length is to be changed, the format cylinder or parts thereof - in particular the so-called sleeve - is usually to be exchanged for a larger or smaller circumference.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a method which is time-saving.
- the object is solved by the features of claim 1.
- the peripheral speed of the first format cylinder is changed according to the invention during the current printing operation relative to the peripheral speed of the impression cylinder.
- the control and / or regulating device which advantageously runs as a program on a control computer, the amount of the desired peripheral speed of the forme cylinder or the desired deviation from the peripheral speed of the impression cylinder can be communicated.
- This can be done manually or according to a table which contains such values as a function of the time and / or the length of the already printed web length.
- a mathematical function or an empirically determined dependence is also conceivable. If the peripheral speed of the format cylinder is reduced relative to the peripheral speed of the impression cylinder, the result is an extended print image; however, if the peripheral speed of the format cylinder is increased, a shortened printed image is observed.
- Flexographic printing is a high pressure process, i. the raised areas of the printing plate or printing plate are the printing areas.
- the printing plates consist of flexible materials such as polymers, so that the printing plates can handle the bending stress caused by the slightly different peripheral speeds of the format cylinder and counterpressure roller.
- the peripheral speeds of these format cylinders should be identical at least after a few revolutions.
- not only at least one other, but all other format cylinders are changed simultaneously in their peripheral speeds with the first format cylinder.
- the circumferential velocities mean the desired circumferential speeds.
- the target peripheral speeds depend on the peripheral speed of the impression cylinder or cylinders and are only slightly changed relative to its or their peripheral speeds.
- the actual peripheral speeds of the format cylinders can deviate from the desired speeds, as will be described below, since even further adjustment parameters influence the actual circumferential speed.
- a well-adjusted longitudinal register ensures that the individual colors of a printed image are printed one above the other and thus form the desired printed image.
- At least part of the printed image printed by the first format cylinder has the original circumferential speed, that is, the original print length. If another format cylinder, which has already been operated at a modified printing speed, now prints over this printed image, an error inevitably occurs in the longitudinal register. In this way waste is produced, which should be avoided.
- a suitable measure to avoid waste is to control the other format cylinder as follows: Simultaneously with the specification of a new target peripheral speed, the longitudinal register is controlled, in the manner that despite changing the peripheral speed, the longitudinal register is maintained or at least only briefly disturbed.
- a control and / or regulation program which comprises a plurality of procedures.
- procedures in the context of this application individual, program parts referred to fulfill a specific function. Such procedures can also be called functions. In the field of computer science but can also find other names for this.
- Such a procedure can be used, for example, to control the set circumferential speeds and, for example, to receive the setpoint print length as input parameters.
- a result would then be a value for the target circumferential speed, which is then transferred to the program part responsible for the position control of a format roller.
- Another procedure intended for longitudinal registration of master cylinders may also have the value of the target peripheral speed calculate and this value provided with opposite sign and also calculate the length of time for the length of the longitudinal register setting in dependence on the position of the driven forme cylinder. These two values are also transferred to the program part responsible for the position control.
- the two values for the differences of the target circumferential speed and the current peripheral speed of the impression cylinder are added to the current speed as a function of the advanced time t.
- the difference between the original peripheral speed and the target speed for changing the longitudinal register is zero, so that the affected format cylinder is now in registration with the new target peripheral speed required to change the printing length without the print image would have ever run out of the register.
- the invention further comprises a control and / or regulating device, in which the program parts described above are implemented, and a printing machine, which comprises a said control and / or regulating device.
- This printing machine is also equipped with one or more, a printing material transporting counter-pressure cylinders to which or to which one or more format cylinders are adjustable. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, this is a central cylinder flexographic printing machine.
- the printing material is in particular a plastic web.
- FIG. 1 Schematic view of a flexographic printing machine
- Fig. 2 sequence of a method according to the invention for adjusting the print length
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a flexographic printing press 1, which comprises a central impression cylinder 2.
- a printing material web 3 is fed in the direction of the arrow T, which is placed on the impression cylinder 2 by means of a pressure roller 4.
- To the circumference of the impression cylinder 2 are several, in the illustrated embodiment 4, format cylinder 5, 6, 7, 8 distributed, each printing a color.
- components of each printing machine include ink supply means for supplying the raised printing areas of the form cylinder with ink.
- such a device generally comprises an anilox roller for coloring the printing areas and a doctoring chamber cooperating with the anilox roller.
- components of the flexographic printing press 1 are shown in FIG.
- the impression cylinder 2 is driven by its own drive 12.
- the letter M stands for "motor.” Even if the motor is operated at a predetermined power, which should result in a constant speed, there may be a jitter, and a speed detecting device is provided to detect the actual speed. which is designated overall by the reference numeral 22 and which comprises a sensor 23 with which the markings 24 which are arranged on the impression cylinder 2 can be detected If there is a deviation from the desired angular velocity, the motor can be controlled accordingly so that the setpoint and actual velocities are aligned, in which case a controlled system is available. From the selection The control unit 26 carries a control line to the engine 12.
- the individual format cylinders should in flexographic printing machines of the prior art at any time have the same peripheral speeds as the central impression cylinder 2.
- the same controlled system is provided as for the impression cylinder 2.
- Such a controlled system is shown only for the format cylinder 5, but at other format cylinders also available.
- the drive carries in the case of the format cylinder 5, the reference numeral 15.
- the control device here also includes the markers 31, the sensor 32 and the control line 33, which forwards the number of measured by the sensor marking to the evaluation and control unit 26. The latter sets these measured values in relation to a time unit and in turn determines the current peripheral speed of the format cylinder 5.
- the current peripheral speed is compared with a desired speed, in which case the target speed is not a predetermined speed, but the actual speed of the impression cylinder. This procedure ensures that the peripheral speeds of the impression cylinder and the format cylinder are always the same.
- the circumferential speeds of the format cylinders 5, 6, 7, 8 are changed relative to the impression cylinder, the corresponding differences are then added to the desired speeds of the format cylinders. These differences can result in a higher peripheral speed, resulting in a slightly shortened print length. Conversely, a reduced peripheral speeds leads to a prolonged printed image.
- FIG. 1 An embodiment of a circuit or a program sequence is shown in FIG.
- the individual boxes of this figure are accordingly to be understood as circuit components or parts of a program, for example as procedures.
- This controls the drive of a format cylinder.
- the basis of the control of the drive the current peripheral speed of the impression cylinder.
- path GDZ the distance traveled per unit time path of the impression cylinder.
- the path difference of the register is usually determined by register sensors, which scan the print marks of the individual colors.
- the missing path difference is added until the register fits (SLekssregister) - This is provided with the reference numeral 200.
- the actual addition takes place in the block or in the procedure 400.
- the total distance is multiplied by a factor which is greater or less than 1. This is done in the multiplier shown as box 500.
- the result is a guideline that the scope of the format cylinder has to cover in a unit of time.
- the motor M is controlled according to this specification.
- FIG. 3 shows a procedure with which the speed difference for all format cylinders can be switched on at the same time, wherein a longitudinal register deviation is avoided.
- the speed difference ⁇ to the new speed v 2 is determined.
- a resulting velocity curve is shown in Figure 3 a), in which simply the peripheral speed of the respective format cylinder was changed from vi to v 2 at a time tstart.
- this difference path is taken into account as a longitudinal register path to be corrected.
- This longitudinal register path is taken into account as long as the substrate at a given circumferential speed of the first format cylinder (see reference numeral 5 in Figure 1) needs to be adjusted to the format cylinder.
- the time required for this results in given managesgschwindtechnik the impression cylinder, which is equal to vi is, from the radius of the impression cylinder, which is a constant. Accordingly, the longitudinal register path is considered until the time t En de. While the time tstart is the same for all format cylinders, the time t En de depends on the spatial position of the respective format cylinder relative to the impression cylinder.
- FIG. 3 b shows a correction of a virtual longitudinal register error.
- FIG. 3 c) now shows the resulting velocity curve for the considered format cylinder.
- the speed difference ⁇ and the speed change caused by the longitudinal register correction cancel each other out, so that the peripheral speed vi is maintained between the times tstart and t En de.
- a printing press is the subject of the invention, in which an evaluation and control unit 26 is equipped with the described functions. So this evaluation and
