Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for color density control according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a method is known on a multi-color autotypic printing machine for achieving a preselected printing result on a printing substrate. Measured values in the form of solid densities and / or screen densities are obtained from measuring fields printed on the printing substrate, and deviations of instantaneous printed results from the preselected printing result are determined from the measured values.
  • the supply of the printing inks to at least selected ink zones of the printing material is first changed for a limited period of time greater than the determined deviations, and only then adjusted according to the deviations.
  • the disadvantage is that in spite of zonal change in the ink supply, the changed amount of ink is to be conveyed over the multiplicity of inking rollers and thus there is a delay in the adaptation of the inking.
  • a method and an apparatus for supplying ink quantity is known.
  • the process for ink supply and a corresponding An inking unit for carrying out the method operates with a drive having a driveable with specifiable speed values ink fountain roller, a co-operating with the ink fountain roller inking, one of the ink fountain roller downstream and by means of a drive between the ink fountain roller and another ink roller reciprocating lifting roller and a controller, which with the color dosing, the drive of the ink fountain roller and the squeegee roller is in signal communication.
  • the control is set in motion when changing the color metering settings.
  • the disadvantage is that only in certain periods of time a changed amount of ink can be supplied and so the reaction time of the inking unit does not decrease significantly.
  • the object of the invention is to come in a color control process to a faster adjustment of the ink quantity located in the inking unit and thus to save waste paper.
  • a highly dynamic color density control is proposed in which the ink slide opening is increased or undershot compared to the calculated value for a certain period of time and / or a number of setting operations of a lifting roller.
  • the Farbduktor horrinsky и is set to a maximum value or approximately to the maximum value of 95 to 100%.
  • the target color density is achieved much faster than with known dynamic color density controls.
  • the siphon strip width is already changed, as long as the investment time of the squeegee roller on the ink fountain roller remains constant.
  • the adjustment of the squeegee can also be adjusted via a change in the investment time of the squeegee roller on the ink fountain roller. Then the adjustment to a maximum value or approximately to the maximum value of 99 to 100% would relate to the adjustability of the lifter drive with respect to the investment time.
  • Fig. 1 shows in principle the upper part of a lifting inking unit of an offset printing press, not shown.
  • an ink fountain roller 1 cooperates, which has a controllable drive 4.
  • the direction of rotation of the ink fountain roller 1 is indicated by the arrow.
  • At the lower end of the ink fountain 2 Farbdosieriata 3 are arranged, which are formed, for example, as a linearly movable and each having an actuator having color slider.
  • the ink fountain roller 1 is arranged downstream of a moving between the ink fountain roller 1 and another ink roller 7 and forth squeegee roller 6.
  • the squeegee roller 6 is associated with a drive 8.
  • the length of the removed from the squeegee roller 6 of the ink fountain roller 1 color strip thus depends on the speed of the ink fountain roller 1 and is thus adjustable via a speed specification of the drive 4.
  • the drive 4 of the ink fountain roller 1 is in signal communication with a controller 5, wherein the controller 5 also has a connection with the means for color metering 3 and the drive 8 of the lifting roller 6.
  • the controller 5 also has a connection with the means for color metering 3 and the drive 8 of the lifting roller 6.
  • the controller 5 also has a connection with the means for color metering 3 and the drive 8 of the lifting roller 6.
  • the ink supply via the Farbdosieretti 3 dynamically, ie during the printing process with ongoing color transport, changed responsive to the controller 5 in accordance with the invention in various ways .
  • the ink fountain roller 1 is accelerated from the speed value provided for the predetermined pressure situation to a maximum or approximately maximum speed value for the duration of a dynamic adjustment of the ink metering elements 3.
  • the change in the ink layer on the surface of the ink fountain roller 1 caused by the change in the metering elements is dynamically converted and thus comes into direct contact with the lifter roller 6 more quickly.
  • the drive 4 of the ink fountain roller 1 is controlled so that again the previous and selected for the intended pressure situation speed value is driven at the ink fountain roller 1.
  • the squeegee 6 can be adjusted via their drive 8 in their reciprocating motion to the ink fountain roller 1, that determined by the investment time at the ink fountain roller 1 HeberstMailbreite of the the predetermined pressure situation provided value is switched to a maximum or approximately maximum value of the HeberstMail Museum.
  • This also ensures that the conditional by changing the metering change of the ink layer on the surface of the ink fountain roller 1 passes directly from the squeegee roller 6 to the subsequent inking roller 7.
  • the drive 8 of the lifting roller 6 is controlled so that again the previous and selected for the intended pressure situation value of investment time and thus the HeberstMail is moved to the lifting roller 6.
  • Fig. 2a) - 2c show the principal mode of action of the invention.
  • Fig. 2a the situation during the initial adjustment of the Farbdosieriata 3 is shown.
  • the ink fountain roller 1 moves the predetermined speed for the printing situation (arrow), the squeegee 6 oscillates between ink fountain and downstream ink roller. 7
  • Fig. 2b is a change in the Farbdosier sculpture 3 - has been made here an increase in the ink supply in the form of a larger gap between Farbdosierelement 3 and the surface of the ink fountain roller 1-. This causes a jump in the ink layer 9 on the ink fountain roller 1. The squeegee 6 has no contact with the ink fountain roller 1.
  • the speed of the ink fountain roller 1 to 99 to 100% of their Increased maximum speed so that the greater layer thickness 9 (greater set gap) comes faster in the contact area with the squeegee roller 6 and especially when the thicker ink layer with the squeegee roller 6 in contact, a thicker and longer lifter strip of ink on the squeegee 6 generated and transferred from this in the inking unit.
  • the increased speed of the ink fountain roller 1 is indicated by the length of the arrow.
  • Fig. 2c is shown that after touching the squeegee roller 6 with the ink fountain roller 1 caused by changing the ink metering ink layer thickness change 9 is now transferred to the squeegee roller 6 and then transferred from this in contact with the downstream ink roller 7 to the other rollers of the inking unit.
  • the ink fountain roller 1 is constantly driven at the maximum or approximately maximum speed until the dynamic adjustment of the Farbdosieretti 3 is completed.
  • Fig. 2.c the second alternative is recognizable.
  • the removed by the squeegee roller 6 from the ink fountain roller 1 color strip S is shown in its resting as a HeberstMailbreite on the circumference of the squeegee roller 6 color layer.
  • This lift strip width can alternatively be set to a value of 95 to 100% of the maximum value during the dynamic adjustment of the color metering elements 3. It is therefore intended according to the invention that, during the period of dynamic adjustment of the ink metering elements 3, a maximization of the investment time between the ink fountain roller 1 and the lifting roller 6 should take place.
  • the adjustment of the speed of the ink fountain roller and the adjustment of the HeberstMailbreite or the investment time between the ink fountain roller 1 and the lifting roller 6 can be performed in combination with each other.
  • a vote in time connection and shutdown can be provided.
