Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for fault location on a printing substrate.
  • the invention lies in the technical field of quality management.
  • a device for image inspection of the printed image of a product of a printing press having an image detection device which provides actual image data from the product, which by means of a comparison circuit with target image data of a error-free subjects are compared.
  • the errors detected during the described inspection are displayed on a monitor, whereby the recorded print image is subdivided into inspection areas and the inspection areas with detected defects are displayed on the monitor.
  • a disadvantage of the disclosed device is that no precise location of the detected errors is possible, since only the corresponding inspection area is marked on the monitor.
  • no simultaneous analysis of the error location and the error itself is possible because only one piece of information can be meaningfully displayed on the monitor at the same time.
  • a color mixer for visual and metrological quality control of printed sheets in which a printed sheet is scanned by a hand-held measuring device and wherein a mounted on the sheet at the desk projection device emits light rays over the entire sheet and wherein a photo sensor is mounted in the meter, which recognizes when it is struck by a light beam, whereby the current position information of the measuring device can be determined on the sheet.
  • the European patent application EP 0 410 253 A2 discloses a device for data acquisition, control and display of measured values in quality monitoring on a printing machine.
  • the integration of workflows and to improve the quality of work and operation of the sheet is recorded with a video camera lying on a Abmusterungstisch.
  • the data is stored in a memory for digital image data.
  • At the Abmusterungstisch measuring devices for detecting quality data of the printed image are arranged and provided with markings.
  • a light source is provided both for displaying data and as a guide device for the measuring devices.
  • Between video camera and light source are one or more systems for Image evaluation, in particular for pattern recognition, provided that use the data of the memory for the image data.
  • measurement devices come colorimeters, register meters or hand-held scanners, ie. small format scanners, which are guided by hand on the surface to be scanned, in question
  • a possible alternative is therefore to shift the display of the fault location information from the monitor to an existing printed test sheet on which the fault location (s) are then displayed by means of projection.
  • Particularly suitable for this type of projection are various forms of projection lasers, in particular laser pointers. These are known from the prior art in various performance classes and colors, as well as in general in a variety of designs.
  • the object of the present invention is thus to describe a device and a method for fault location, which facilitates the user finding fault locations on the sheet.
  • the inventive solution to this problem is a method having the features of main claim 1 and an apparatus having the features of claim 8.
  • the display of the errors found by the inspection on a display device mounted in the viewing and reading range to the depositing device and the fault location made possible by the method according to the invention supplement each other.
  • the user needs information about the error itself as well as about the location of the error in order to assess the errors found.
  • a device for determining fault location on a printed sheet for carrying out a method according to claim 1 is also disclosed.
  • the device consists of a display device, a storage device for a sheet, a control computer and at least one light source in the form of a laser pointer, which is attached to the storage device or integrated into this, that of the computer-controlled at least one light source, each location on the surface one of the depositing device aligned sheet is markable.
  • the function of at least one light source is switched on and off by a foot switch attached to the storage device.
  • the light source marks several fault locations by rapid clocking. For reasons of efficiency, it is appropriate for a light source to display several fault locations. This makes it possible to simultaneously display more errors than light sources are available.
  • a further preferred development is that a plurality of light sources for fault location display are attached to or in the storage device.
  • the multiple light sources can also individually mark multiple fault locations. As a result, the number of errors to be displayed simultaneously by the system is enormous.
  • a preferred development of the inventive method is that the multiple light sources with different colors different errors and / or identify different degrees of severity of the errors.
  • a division of tasks of the light sources by severity or by type of error is made possible by means of different light colors.
  • various projected geometric figures or a combination of the features mentioned are possible
  • a preferred development of the method according to the invention is that the sample sheet is aligned on the storage device on the basis of information from the printing press, such as print format, print start and center offset. If the device does not have automatic adaptation of the fault location projection to the location of the sample sheet, the user must manually align the sample sheet with information from the press, such as print size, print start, and center offset. The information can be made available to the user via the display device.
  • a further preferred development of the method is that a, attached to the storage device, camera determines the edges or the registration marks of the sample sheet based on information on the sample sheet and the one or more light sources are aligned according to the determined edges of the sample sheet.
  • the automatic adaptation of the fault location projection to the position of the test sheet saves time because the user no longer has to manually align the test sheet.
  • a preferred development of the device according to the invention is that on the storage device an angle bar or a coordinate system for the alignment of the sheet is present. If neither an automatic adaptation to the position of the test sheet nor information from the printing press are available, a coordinate cross or an angle strip mounted on the depositing device allow the user to correctly align the sample sheet.
  • the device consists in the main of a storage device on which a test sheet is to be stored, which contains image information, which are examined for errors during an image inspection. Above or next to the storage device one to several light sources are locked. Whether the light sources are firmly fixed and different radiation angles are possible by the design of the light sources, or whether light sources are fixed with a fixed beam angle movable, depends on the embodiment. The decisive factor is that the light sources can be controlled via a control computer in such a way that they can detect the entire area of the stored test sheet.
  • a display device is mounted, via which the image errors determined by the inspection are displayed.
  • the device according to the invention is combined with the operating device of a printing press.
  • the display device is identical to the display device of the control panel of the printing press.
  • the storage device corresponds to the storage console of the operating device for the proofs. In this case, an angle bar and / or a coordinate system are mounted on the storage device so that the user a correct manual alignment of the sample sheet is possible.
  • the light sources which preferably consist of laser pointers, are on a holding device on the filing desk appropriate. They are attached to devices with controllable, movable electric motors, which are controlled by an external control computer or the control computer of the printing press.
  • the individual laser pointers have different colors, so that with each color a different type of error and / or error severity can be displayed. Since the laser pointer, depending on the power class, emit dangerous radiation to the human eye, the device may only be used under the expert control of the user. To ensure this, a footswitch is attached to the bottom of the device that allows the user to turn the laser pointer function on and off.
  • the inventive method is in its preferred embodiment in FIG. 2 shown schematically.
  • a continuous inspection of the printed sheets is carried out.
  • the user places a test sheet of the current print job on the storage device.
  • the sample sheet is to be aligned correctly next. This can be done manually by the user on the basis of an existing on the filing angle bar or a coordinate system.
  • the sheet is detected by a camera and the edges or registration marks of the sample sheet are determined based on information on the sample sheet.
  • the laser pointers are then aligned by the control computer according to the determined edges or registration marks of the sample sheet.
  • the alignment is done on the basis of information from the printing press, such as print format, print start and center offset. If image or printing errors are then found by the inspection, these are displayed by the control computer of the printing press on the display device. This is preferably done in sections and if reasonably enlarged to give the user precise knowledge about the nature of the error.
  • the control computer calculates the position information on the printed sheet of the error (s) found. With the knowledge of the nature and location of the errors found, the computer controls the laser pointer in such a way that they mark the location of the errors found on the sample sheet.
  • the method disclosed in the preferred embodiment allows both the pure marking of the fault location on a fault-free Test sheet, as well as the use of the faulty test specimen, on which then the local errors are displayed.
  • the first variant requires an accurate representation of the error found on the display device. The marking of the fault location is then only the classification of the error found in the image environment.
  • the advantage of this variant is the quick processing of errors found by the user, since one and the same test sheet can be used for a wide variety of errors.
  • the disadvantage is that only the fault location is marked on the sample sheet. The error must be examined to assess the facts on the display device.
  • the second variant involves the removal of the faulty sheet from the printing press, whereby the errors found on the device marked by the device are then also present in real terms.
  • the representation of the error on the display device is only supportive and not mandatory. An assessment of the errors found by the user is thus much easier for this, but the process takes more time. Which procedure is preferred is at the discretion of the user. Device and method allow the use of both variants.
