Eine Bogendruckmaschine 1, insbesondere eine Digitaldruckmaschine, weist einen Anleger 2 zum Zuführen von Bogen zu der Bogendruckmaschine 1 und einen Ausleger 4 zum Abführen der bedruckten Bogen aus der Digitaldruckmaschine 1 auf. Es ist mindestens eine Druckstation 6 zum Bedrucken der Bögen 3 vorgesehen. Der Bogen wird vom Anleger 2 mittels eines Zuführtisches an einen Zuführzylinder 8 übergeben, welcher den Bogen vorzugsweise an eine doppelt große Übergabetrommel 9 überführt. Von hier aus gelangt der Bogen 3 mittels einem z. B. einfach großen Übergabezylinder 11 zu einem z. B. dreifach großen Druckzylinder 12, auf welchem der Bogen mittels einer InkjetDruckeinheit 13 bedruckt wird. Der bedruckte Bogen 3 wird von dem Druckzylinder 12 an eine insbesondere doppelt große Übergabetrommel übergeben, von wo dieser über eine z. B. einfach große Übergabetrommel 16 an einen Kettengreifer 17 des Auslegers 4 übergeben wird. Im Wendebetrieb arbeitet die Übergabetrommel 14 als Speichertrommel und übergibt den Bogen an seiner Hinterkante an eine nachgeordnete Wendetrommel 18, von wo der Bogen 3 zum Bedrucken seiner Rückseite mittels einer Übergabetrommel 19 an die Übergabetrommel 9 zurückgeführt wird, damit dieser in der Druckeinheit 6 auf der Rückseite bedruckt werden kann.A sheet-fed printing machine 1, in particular a digital printing machine, has a feeder 2 for feeding sheets to the sheet-fed printing press 1 and a delivery 4 for discharging the printed sheets from the digital printing press 1. It is at least one printing station 6 is provided for printing the sheets 3. The sheet is transferred from the feeder 2 by means of a feed table to a feed cylinder 8, which preferably transfers the sheet to a double-size transfer drum 9. From here, the sheet 3 passes by means of a z. B. simply large transfer cylinder 11 to a z. B. three-size printing cylinder 12, on which the sheet is printed by means of an inkjet printing unit 13. The printed sheet 3 is transferred from the printing cylinder 12 to a particular double-sized transfer drum, from where this is a z. B. simply large transfer drum 16 is transferred to a chain gripper 17 of the boom 4. In the turning mode, the transfer drum 14 operates as a storage drum and transfers the sheet at its trailing edge to a downstream turning drum 18, from where the sheet 3 is returned to the printing drum 9 for printing on its back by means of a transfer drum 19 so that it in the printing unit 6 on the back can be printed.

Der Druckzylinder 12 ist insbesondere als Inkjet-Druckzylinder ausgebildet und weist zum Halten eines Bogens mechanische oder pneumatische Greifereinrichtungen 22 auf, um den Bogen an seiner Vorderkante zu fixieren. Zur Verbesserung der auf den Bogen wirkenden Haltekraft und glatten, faltenfreien Lage des Bogens auf dem Druckzylinder 12 ist die Mantelfläche des Druckzylinders 12 mit zusätzlichen Sauggreifern, z. B. in Form von Saugöffnungen 24, versehen.The printing cylinder 12 is formed in particular as an inkjet printing cylinder and has for holding a sheet mechanical or pneumatic gripping means 22 in order to fix the sheet at its leading edge. To improve the force acting on the sheet holding force and smooth, wrinkle-free position of the sheet on the printing cylinder 12, the lateral surface of the printing cylinder 12 with additional suction pads, z. B. in the form of suction openings 24, provided.

Die Saugöffnungen 24 sind in Blechen oder Folien in jeweils einem Raster A, U, S; A, K (Figuren 6 - 8; Figuren 11 - 14) auf der Umfangsfläche des Druckzylinders 12 gemäß Figur 3 oder eines Tisches gemäß Figur 2 angeordnet.The suction openings 24 are in sheets or foils in each case a grid A, U, S; A, K ( FIGS. 6-8 ; FIGS. 11-14 ) on the peripheral surface of the printing cylinder 12 according to FIG. 3 or a table according to FIG. 2 arranged.

Der zu transportierende Bogen liegt auf einer Bogenauflagefläche mit dem Außenraster A auf, dessen Saugöffnungen 24A eine gleichmäßige Fläche F aufweisen und in Reihen und Zeilen mit einem gleichmäßigen Abstand X, Y (X = Y = ca. 5 - 10 mm) angeordnet sind. Die Saugöffnungen 24A, 24U, 24S, 24K sind im Ausführungsbeispiel quadratisch ausgebildet und weisen Kantenlängen L auf (L = ca. 0,5 - 1 mm).The sheet to be transported rests on a sheet support surface with the outer grid A, the suction openings 24A have a uniform surface F and in rows and rows with a uniform distance X, Y (X = Y = about 5 - 10 mm) are arranged. The suction openings 24A, 24U, 24S, 24K are square in the embodiment and have edge lengths L (L = about 0.5 - 1 mm).

Die einzelnen Rasterfenster (Saugöffnungen 24) können insbesondere auch beliebig rechteckförmig, kreisförmig oder gegebenenfalls auch andere geometrische Formen aufweisen.The individual grid windows (suction openings 24) may in particular also have any desired rectangular, circular or possibly also other geometric shapes.

Unterhalb des Ausgangsrasters A ist ein dünnlagiger Schieber 22 mit dem Umfangsraster U angeordnet, welches in Umfangsrichtung des Druckzylinders 12 verschiebbar gelagert ist. Das Umfangsraster U weist eine Anzahl Saugöffnungen 24 mit einer gleichmäßigen Fläche F mit den Kantenlängen L auf, welche in Reihen und Zeilen angeordnet sind. Ein Abstand X der Reihen in Bogentransportrichtung gesehen ist gleich. Ein Abstand Y der Zeilen, die innerhalb eines kleinsten zu verarbeitenden Längsformates liegen, beträgt Y. Ein Abstand der Zeilen, die außerhalb eines kleinsten zu verarbeitenden Längsformates liegen, beträgt Z. Der Abstand Z ist kleiner oder größer als Y (Z ≠ Y).Below the output grid A, a thin-layer slide 22 is arranged with the circumferential grid U, which is mounted displaceably in the circumferential direction of the printing cylinder 12. The circumferential grid U has a number of suction openings 24 with a uniform surface F with the edge lengths L, which are arranged in rows and rows. A distance X of the rows seen in the sheet transport direction is the same. A distance Y of the lines lying within a smallest longitudinal format to be processed is Y. A distance of the lines which are outside of a smallest longitudinal format to be processed is Z. The distance Z is smaller or larger than Y (Z ≠ Y).

Unter dem Schieber 27 ist ein unterer Schieber 28 mit dem Seitenraster S angeordnet, welches eine Anzahl Saugöffnungen 24S mit einer gleichmäßigen Fläche F mit den Kantenlängen L aufweist, welche in Reihen und Zeilen angeordnet sind. Ein Abstand Y der Zeilen ist in Bogentransportrichtung gesehen gleich. Innerhalb des kleinsten zu verarbeitenden Querformates beträgt ein Abstand zwischen den Reihen quer zur Bogentransportrichtung X (X = Y). Die Abstände V, W außerhalb des kleinsten zu verarbeitenden Formates sind gleichmäßig, jedoch kleiner oder größer als die Abstände X (V < X < W; oder V > X > W). Hierbei sind die Abstände V z. B. um den Betrag größer als X als die Abstände W kleiner als X sind. Durch diese Maßnahme wird eine zur Mitte der Transportfläche symmetrische Saugzoneneinstellung beim Verschieben des Seitenrasters S nach rechts oder links erreicht.Under the slider 27, a lower slider 28 is arranged with the side grid S having a number of suction openings 24S with a uniform surface F with the edge lengths L, which are arranged in rows and rows. A distance Y of the lines is the same as seen in the sheet transport direction. Within the smallest landscape format to be processed, a distance between the rows transverse to the sheet transport direction is X (X = Y). The distances V, W outside the smallest format to be processed are uniform but smaller or larger than the distances X (V <X <W; or V> X> W). Here, the distances V z. B. by the amount greater than X as the distances W are smaller than X. By this measure, a symmetrical to the center of the transport surface Saugzoneneinstellung is achieved when moving the side grid S to the right or left.

Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 9; 10 ist es vorgesehen, dass unter dem Austrittsraster A nur ein einziges Kombiraster K diagonal verschiebbar oder in Umfangsrichtung verdrehbar und in Seitenrichtung verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Das Kombiraster K weist gemäß Figur 11 eine Anzahl von Saugöffnungen 24K mit einer gleichmäßigen Fläche F mit den Kantenlängen L auf, welche in Reihen und Zeilen angeordnet sind. Ein Abstand Y der Zeilen ist in Bogentransportrichtung gesehen im kleinsten zu verarbeitenden Format (Minimalformat) gleich. Dies gilt im Minimalformat auch für die Reihenabstände X, der in Reihen angeordneten Saugöffnungen 24K.In an embodiment according to Figure 9; 10 it is envisaged that only a single combi-grid K is diagonally displaceable or rotatable in the circumferential direction and slidably disposed in the lateral direction under the exit pattern A. The combination raster K points according to FIG. 11 a number of suction openings 24K having a uniform area F with the edge lengths L arranged in rows and rows. A distance Y of the lines is seen in the sheet transport direction in smallest format to be processed (minimum format) equal. In minimal format, this also applies to the row spacings X, the suction openings 24K arranged in rows.

Außerhalb des Minimalformates sind - in Bogentransportrichtung (Umfangsrichtung) gesehen - Lochreihen mit einem Abstand Z, welcher größer ist als der Abstand Y vorgesehen (Z > Y).Outside the minimum format are - seen in the sheet transport direction (circumferential direction) - rows of holes with a distance Z, which is greater than the distance Y provided (Z> Y).

Außerhalb des Minimalformates in Seitenrichtung gesehen ist der Abstand V zwischen den Lochreihen (V = X + R) und auf der anderen Seite der Abstand W der Lochreihen (W = X - R), wobei R = X -W = V - X ist.Outside the minimum format seen in the lateral direction is the distance V between the rows of holes (V = X + R) and on the other side the distance W of the rows of holes (W = X - R), where R = X -W = V - X.

In Figur 12 ist die Lage des Kombirasters K im Verhältnis zum Austrittsraster A in einer Stellung "Maximalformat" zur Verarbeitung eines Maximalformates dargestellt. Hierbei sind sämtliche Saugöffnungen (Löcher) 24 zumindest teilweise geöffnet. Wird das Kombiraster K nunmehr um den Betrag "a" entgegen der Bogentransportrichtung verschoben, werden die Saugöffnungen 24 außerhalb des Minimalformates in Längsrichtung sukzessive geschlossen (s. Figur 13).In FIG. 12 the position of the combination grid K is shown in relation to the exit grid A in a position "maximum format" for processing a maximum format. In this case, all suction openings (holes) 24 are at least partially opened. If the combination raster K is now displaced by the amount "a" against the sheet transport direction, the suction openings 24 outside the minimal format are successively closed in the longitudinal direction (s. FIG. 13 ).

Bei einer zusätzlichen Verschiebung des Kombirasters K seitlich (quer zur Bogentransportrichtung) um das Maß b gemäß Figur 14 werden die Saugöffnungen 24 sukzessive in seitlicher Richtung geschlossen, bis das Minimalformat erreicht ist.With an additional displacement of the combination raster K laterally (transversely to the sheet transport direction) by the dimension b according to FIG. 14 the suction openings 24 are successively closed in the lateral direction until the minimum format is reached.
