Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and apparatus for mutual adjustment of two cylinders in a printing press.
  • the cylinders involved in a flexographic printing process and in a flexographic printing machine on the printing process must be made very close to each other in order to ensure the optimal color transfer mentioned above. This is due to the fact that in flexographic printing the printing areas are raised compared to the non-printing areas of a printed image.
  • the print jobs on a printing press change relatively frequently, which is usually accompanied by the change of at least the printing plates or the cylinder components on which they are mounted. This often also changes the print length, d. H. the circumference of the cylinders.
  • the optimum setting position must be determined using a positioning method. A great desire is to produce as little waste as possible.
  • the two cylinders which preferably have at each of its ends an adjusting device which comprise at least bearing blocks and actuators, gradually approached each other.
  • the respective setting position whose optimum value is to be determined yes, is determined in each case and also stored.
  • the two cylinders rotate by the influence of drives.
  • the peripheral speeds of the two cylinders are different.
  • the one measured variable of at least one of the two cylinders is permanently measured and their values are measured and stored.
  • the rotational speed of the cylinder is a suitable measure.
  • Another suitable measure is the braking force.
  • the measured variable initially has a substantially constant basic value, which can be referred to as the initial value.
  • the EP 1 018 426 A1 discloses a very similar method.
  • the EP 2 085 223 A1 shows a further method for employment of second cylinder, wherein the cylinders are kept in constant contact and during a test drive, which lasts a complete printing cylinder revolution, the setting position is measured and recorded.
  • the largest setting position ie the largest measured distance between the impression cylinder and impression cylinder, is now considered to be the optimum printing position.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a method and a device with which the finding of the optimum setting position of two cylinders can be accelerated.
  • this object is achieved on the basis of the above-mentioned features by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Accordingly, it is provided that the value of the rotation angle is recorded at which there is a deviation of the value of the measured variable from the initial value. It is therefore intended not to abort the process already upon detection of the first contact, but instead to record the entire angle of rotation at which the deviation already described for the first contact occurs Initial value results. If, for example, there is a small angle of rotation, for example of one or a few degrees, then it can often be assumed that the optimum setting value has not yet been reached. If, however, a larger angle of rotation arises, then one can assume that already a major part or the entire part of the printing areas has contact with the second cylinder, so that one is already close to the optimum adjustment value.
  • the invention provides that even after the first contact, which is associated with a Anstellwert, the employment is carried out further, so the relative distance between the cylinder involved in the process is further reduced. After this renewed change in the setting position, the measuring run just described is repeated. In turn, the value of the angle of rotation is recorded at which a deviation of the value of the measured variable from the initial value results. In this case, further pressure ranges can now be detected, which are "deeper" with respect to the first contact surface, the outer surface of which therefore has a smaller distance from the axis of rotation of the cylinder than the surface initially determined. The value of the rotation angle at which a deviation of the value of the measured variable from the initial value results is in such a case a higher value.
  • the change in the setting position is preferably carried out in steps with a width of less than 50 micrometers, in particular less than 25 micrometers.
  • a function of the value of the angle of rotation which results in a deviation of the value of the measured variable from the initial value, depending on the setting position, is thus obtained.
  • the value should initially be at 0, increase with further reduction of the distance of the cylinder and later go into a saturation region.
  • the number of different setting positions, which are controlled by the control unit, can be limited when the saturation range is reached. The number can also be before Implementation of the method by the machine operator or machine side be given or be.
  • the optimal positioning position can now be found from the described function as follows: Where the function has the greatest slope (ie a maximum in the derivative), the optimum positioning position can first be determined. However, in order to detect the deeper areas, the slopes of the function are now also checked for other positioning positions. The next highest slope, especially the second largest slope, is now set as the optimal pitch. In a further embodiment, however, this position is only considered to be the optimum setting position if the value of this gradient has a minimum proportion of the value of the greatest gradient. For example, the second largest slope is only evaluated if its value is at least 10% of the value of the largest slope.
  • FIG. 1 shows a typical flexographic printing machine 100 equipped with a two-cylinder reciprocating device.
  • the printing machine shown is a so-called central cylinder flexographic printing machine and includes the essential components described below.
  • an unwinding device 101 is provided for unwinding a material web 110 from a winding 111.
  • This material web 110 is supplied to the printing unit 102, in which it is acted upon by at least one color.
  • the printed material web 110 is passed through a drying device in which the printed ink is dried.
  • the winding of the material web 110 takes place on a winding 112 in the winding device 104.
  • the printing unit 102 comprises a central impression cylinder 120, on which the material web 110 is laid on by means of a pressure roller 121.
  • the material web 110 always lying on the outer surface of the impression cylinder 120, passed over several inking units, one of which is exemplified by the reference numeral 122. With every inking unit, a printing ink can be applied to the material web.
  • An inking unit 122 in this case comprises a format cylinder 123 and an inking roller 124, which is generally designed as an anilox roller.
  • FIG. 2 shows now in an enlarged view a section of the printing unit 122.
  • the displacement device 210 for the format cylinder 123 which comprises a carriage 211 which carries the format cylinder 123.
  • the carriage is linearly displaceable on a rail 212.
  • the displacement is effected by the motor M S , which drives a spindle 213, which is screwed into a thread of the carriage.
  • M S which drives a spindle 213
  • the drive which here through a motor is realized, is controlled by the control device S or even regulated.
  • the drive of the format cylinder is effected by the motor M FZ , which is also controlled by the control device.
  • the format cylinder rotates in the direction of the arrow R FZ .
  • the format cylinder has a radius r.
  • the drive of the impression cylinder is effected by the motor M GDZ , which is also controlled by the control device.
  • the impression cylinder rotates in the direction of the arrow R GDZ .
  • the format cylinder is covered with a first pressure plate 221 and a second pressure plate 222 whose outer surfaces lie on the radii r 1 and r 2 .
  • the relation r ⁇ r 2 ⁇ r 1 applies.
  • the pressure plate 221 occupies the angle ⁇ 1
  • the pressure plate 222 the angle ⁇ 2 .
  • the format cylinder is now gradually approximated to the impression cylinder along the axis x.
  • format cylinder and impression cylinder are driven at different speeds, the format cylinder is advantageously driven at the higher speed.
  • To drive the format cylinder is preferably an asynchronous motor, which is operated in the field weakening operation, used, as shown in the DE 2009 025 053 A1 is described.
  • the format cylinder 123 essentially rotates one full revolution until it is further approximated to the impression cylinder 120. First, the printing plates 221 have no contact with the printing material, not shown, which rests on the impression cylinder 120.
  • this path is shown in area I.
  • the format cylinder 123 undergoes no speed change or a braking force.
  • the pressure plate 221 in contact with the impression cylinder 120 and the substrate.
  • the format cylinder 123 now experiences a deceleration or a braking force which extends over the angle ⁇ 1 , which in the FIG. 3 marked as area II.
  • a slowdown is thereby detected that approaches the rotational speed of the format cylinder 123 to the rotational speed of the impression cylinder 120.
  • rotational speed is meant here the peripheral speed.
  • the pressure plate 222 still has no contact with the impression cylinder 120.
  • r is the distance of the axis of rotation of the format cylinder to the peripheral surface of the impression cylinder.
  • Another possibility for a termination criterion may be the second largest change in the FIG. 3 be recorded function. In this example, this is the transition from area II to area III.
