Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum automatisierten Wiederauffinden von fehlerhaften Druckbildstellen eines bedruckten Bandes und zur Synchronisation der Bandförderung auf einer Weiterverarbeitungsmaschine, wobei die Material- und/oder Druckfehler mittels eines Detektors und die jeweiligen Abstände der Fehlerstellen erfasst und in einem Rollenprotokoll gespeichert werden. Zur Verbesserung der Qualitätskontrolle wird vorgeschlagen, dass nach Beendigung des Druckvorgangs das Bandende mit einem auslesbaren Etikett versehen wird, das beim Wiedereinlegen des Bandes zur Festlegung einer Nullmarke dient, durch die die Orte der Material- und/oder Druckfehlerstellen lagegenau auffindbar sind.The invention relates to a method for the automated retrieval of defective printed image areas of a printed tape and for synchronizing the belt conveyor on a further processing machine, wherein the material and / or printing errors are detected by means of a detector and the respective distances of the fault locations and stored in a roll log. To improve the quality control, it is proposed that after the end of the printing process, the tape end is provided with a readable label, which serves to establish a zero mark when re-inserting the tape, through which the locations of the material and / or printing flaws are accurately locatable.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum automatischen Wiederauffinden von fehlerhaften Druckbildstellen eines bedruckten Bandes und zur Synchronisation der Bandförderung auf einer Weiterverarbeitungsmaschine, wobei die Material- und/oder Druckfehler mittels eines Detektors und die jeweiligen Abstände der Fehlerstellen erfasst und in einem Rollenprotokoll gespeichert werden.The invention relates to a method for automatically retrieving faulty printed image areas of a printed tape and for synchronizing the belt conveyance on a further processing machine, wherein the material and / or printing errors are detected by means of a detector and the respective distances of the fault locations and stored in a roll log.

Es ist bekannt, dass bei der Andruckphase bzw. Anlaufphase einer Druckmaschine Fehldrucke oder Fehlstellen entstehen, die in einem späteren Weiterverarbeitungsverfahren ebenso aussortiert werden müssen wie nicht zu vermeidende Fehldrucke oder auch Bandmaterialfehler beim fortlaufenden Druck.It is known that in the Andruckphase or start-up phase of a printing press misprints or defects arise that need to be sorted out in a later processing method as well as unavoidable misprints or band material errors in continuous printing.

Zum Wiederauffinden der Fehlerstellen und zum Aussortieren muss das bedruckte Band, das zu einer Rolle aufgewickelt ist, abermals abgerollt, kontrolliert und bearbeitet werden.To recover the defects and to sort out the printed tape, which is wound into a roll, again unrolled, controlled and edited.

Eine manuelle Markierung der Fehlstellen, wie sie ursprünglich vorgenommen wurde, ist sehr aufwendig und zeitraubend.A manual marking of the defects, as originally made, is very complicated and time consuming.

Zur Verbesserung der Qualitätskontrolle im Rahmen von Hochgeschwindigkeitsdruckprozessen werden daher nach dem Stand der Technik bereits während des Druckes die Druckbilder auf etwaige Fehldrucke überwacht. Hierzu wird das jeweils erstellte Druckbild fortlaufend mit einem Referenzbild verglichen. Sobald ein Druckfehler auftritt, wird dieser fotografisch erfasst und in einem sogenannten Rollenprotokoll dokumentiert, das fortlaufend die jeweiligen Fehlerdrucke aufgelistet hat.In order to improve the quality control in the context of high-speed printing processes, therefore, according to the prior art, the printed images are already monitored for any misprints during printing. For this purpose, the respective printed image is continuously compared with a reference image. As soon as a printing error occurs, it is photographically recorded and documented in a so-called roll log, which has continuously listed the respective error prints.

Im Rahmen der Weiterverarbeitung, nämlich der Aussonderung der Fehldrucke, wird die bedruckte aufgerollte Bahn abgewickelt und während des Abwickelns überprüft, bis der erste Fehldruck aufgefunden ist, dessen Lage dann zur Synchronisation der Druckbahnbewegung verwendet wird. Eine Erleichterung ist nach dem Stand der Technik dadurch gegeben, dass Druckbildfehler durch eingefärbte Etiketten leichter auffindbar sind, jedoch bleibt die Schwierigkeit, dieses eingefärbte Etikett zu sondieren und auf der Weiterverarbeitungsmaschine die Bandförderung zu synchronisieren.As part of the further processing, namely the rejection of the misprints, the printed rolled web is unwound and checked during unwinding until the first misprint is found, the position of which is then used to synchronize the printing web movement. A relief is according to the state of the Technology given that printed image errors are easier to find by colored labels, but the difficulty remains to explore this colored label and to synchronize the belt conveyor on the finishing machine.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung das eingangs genannte Verfahren zu verbessern.It is an object of the present invention to improve the method mentioned.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird vorgeschlagen, dass nach Beendigung des Druckvorgangs das Bandende mit einem auslesbaren Etikett versehen wird, das beim Wiedereinlegen des Bandes zur Festlegung einer Nullmarke dient, durch welche die Orte der Material- und/oder Druckfehlerstellen lagegenau auffindbar sind.To solve this problem it is proposed that after completion of the printing process, the tape end is provided with a readable label, which serves to define a zero mark when re-inserting the tape, through which the locations of the material and / or printing defects are accurately locatable.

Das Etikett kann am Bandende manuell oder automatisch auf die Bahn, d. h. das Band, appliziert werden. Die genaue Lage des applizierten Etiketts am Bandende ist frei wählbar, da das Etikett in jeder gewählten Position von einem Sensor erkannt werden kann. Vorzugsweise wird bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ein Sensor verwendet, der die gesamte Bandbreite zur Detektierung des auslesbaren Etiketts erfasst. Das von dem Sensor detektierte Signal wird als exaktes Positionssignal in einem Druckbildinspektionssystem ausgewertet und in den Daten des Rollenprotokolls aufgenommen.The label may be manually or automatically fed to the web at the end of the tape, i. H. the band, to be applied. The exact position of the applied label at the end of the tape is freely selectable because the label can be detected by a sensor in any selected position. Preferably, in the method according to the invention a sensor is used which detects the entire bandwidth for detecting the readable label. The signal detected by the sensor is evaluated as an exact position signal in a print image inspection system and recorded in the data of the roll log.

Wenn nun das bedruckte Band in die Weiterverarbeitung geführt wird, kann ein Sensor in der Weiterverarbeitungsmaschine dieses Etikett erkennen und den Ort des Etiketts als Nullmarke definieren. Anhand des Rollenprotokolls ist nunmehr jeder Druckfehler exakt lokalisierbar, weil im Rollenprotokoll die Abstände der einzelnen Druckfehler gespeichert sind.Now, if the printed tape is passed into the finishing, a sensor in the further processing machine can recognize this label and define the location of the label as a zero mark. Using the role log, each print error can now be precisely localized because the spacing of the individual print errors is stored in the role log.

Der besondere Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens liegt darin, dass die Synchronisation des Bandlaufes automatisch vorgenommen wird, so dass Eingabefehler der Bedienungsperson vermieden werden. Insbesondere kann die Weiterverarbeitung vollständig automatisiert werden, da manuelle Eingriffe und Kontrollen nicht mehr notwendig sind.The particular advantage of the method according to the invention is that the synchronization of the tape run is performed automatically, so that input errors of the operator are avoided. In particular, the further processing can be completely automated because manual intervention and controls are no longer necessary.

Vorzugsweise werden solche Etiketten eingesetzt, die als sogenannte Auto-ID-Systeme nach dem Stand der Technik bekannt sind. Hierzu zählen Barcodesysteme wie insbesondere RFID-Systeme, bei denen mittels drahtloser Kommunikation spezifische Informationen per Funk übertragen werden. Der Einsatz der RFID-Technologie hat Vorteile, weil zwischen dem Transponder (im Etikett) und der Leseeinheit Daten unmittelbar und fehlerfrei auslesbar sind.Preferably, such labels are used, which are known as so-called auto-ID systems according to the prior art. These include bar code systems, in particular RFID systems, in which specific information is transmitted by radio via wireless communication. The use of RFID technology has advantages because data can be read directly and without errors between the transponder (in the label) and the reading unit.
