Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Druckmaschine zum Bedrucken einer Bahn, umfassend eine erste Rolle und eine zweite Rolle, zwischen denen die Bahn eine Schlinge bildet, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass zwischen der ersten Rolle und der zweiten Rolle eine Schale zum pneumatischen und bezüglich der überwiegenden Krümmungslänge der Schale äquidistanten Führen der Schlinge angeordnet ist.The object is achieved by a printing machine for printing on a web, comprising a first roll and a second roll, between which the web forms a loop, characterized in that between the first roll and the second roll a shell for pneumatic and the predominant length of curvature the shell is arranged equidistant guiding the sling.
Es sind verschiedene Weiterbildungen möglich:
Die Druckmaschine kann eine Digitaldruckmaschine sein, vorzugsweise für Inkjetdruck. Die Schale kann einfach oder eindimensional gekrümmt sein, wobei die Krümmung in Kreisbogenform verlaufen kann. Die Schale kann nur Saugöffnungen oder nur Blasöffnungen zum Führen der Schlinge haben.There are various training possible:
The printing press may be a digital printing press, preferably for inkjet printing. The shell may be simple or one-dimensionally curved, wherein the curvature may be in a circular arc shape. The shell may have only suction openings or only blowing openings for guiding the loop.
Die Schale kann Saugöffnungen und Blasöffnungen zum kontaktlosen Führen der Schlinge haben. Die Saugöffnungen und Blasöffnungen können gleichzeitig aktiv sein, um die Bahn in definiertem Abstand zur Schale zu halten.The shell may have suction openings and blowing openings for non-contact guiding of the loop. The suction openings and blowing openings may be active at the same time to keep the web at a defined distance from the shell.
Die Saugöffnungen können Nuten sein, die in Transport- oder Laufrichtung der Bahn oder dazu schräg verlaufen. Die Nuten können vorzugsweise miteinander parallel verlaufen oder in Laufrichtung voneinander divergieren, z.B. um die Bahn in Querrichtung zu straffen.The suction openings may be grooves which run in the transport or running direction of the web or obliquely thereto. The grooves may preferably be parallel to one another or diverge in the direction of travel, e.g. to tighten the web in the transverse direction.
Die Blasöffnungen können Düsenreihen bilden, die im Wechsel mit den Saugöffnungen angeordnet sind. Die Düsenreihen können z.B. aus Bohrungen bestehen, die bezüglich der Düsenfläche der Schale die Blasluft in Radialrichtung ausstoßen.The blowing openings can form rows of nozzles that are arranged in alternation with the suction openings. The nozzle rows may e.g. consist of bores which eject the blast air in the radial direction with respect to the nozzle surface of the shell.
Die Schale kann auf der Außenseite der Schlinge angeordnet sein und auf der Innenseite der Schlinge kann eine Stützrolle angeordnet sein, die im störungsfrei laufenden Druckbetrieb außer Kontakt mit der Bahn steht. Die Stärke der Saugluft der Saugöffnungen und der Blasluft der Blasöffnungen können so ausbalanciert sein, dass die Bahn ohne Kontakt mit der Schale und der Stützrolle zwischen beiden schwebend läuft. Die Stützrolle braucht die Bahn nur zu stützen, wenn die Saugluft der Schale nicht aktiv ist, z.B. bei einem Ausfall oder einer Abschaltung des Vakuumerzeugers, an den die Schale angeschlossen ist, z.B. einer Abschaltung beim Einfädeln der Bahn oder einem anderen Rüstprozess.The shell can be arranged on the outside of the loop and on the inside of the loop, a support roller can be arranged, which stands out of contact with the web during trouble-free printing operation. The strength of the suction air of the suction openings and the blowing air of the blowing openings can be balanced so that the web is floating without contact with the shell and the support roller between the two. The support roll need only support the web if the suction air of the shell is not active, e.g. in case of failure or shutdown of the vacuum generator to which the shell is connected, e.g. shutdown when threading the web or other setup process.
Eine Innenumfangsfläche der Schale und eine Außenumfangsfläche der Stützrolle können miteinander parallel verlaufen. Die Schale und Stützrolle können zwischen sich einen halbringförmigen Spalt begrenzen, durch den im Druckbetrieb die Bahn kontaktlos läuft.An inner peripheral surface of the shell and an outer peripheral surface of the support roller may be parallel to each other. The shell and support roller can define between them a semi-annular gap through which the web runs without contact during printing operation.
Eine Formateinstelleinrichtung zum Einstellen der Saugöffnungen auf die jeweilige Breite der Bahn kann vorhanden sein. Zum Einstellen der Blasöffnungen auf die jeweilige Breite der Bahn kann dieselbe Formateinstelleinrichtung oder eine zusätzliche Formateinstelleinrichtung verwendet werden. Jede Formateinstelleinrichtung kann ein Ventil mit Sperrschieber sein.A format adjustment device for adjusting the suction openings to the respective width of the web may be present. For adjusting the blowing openings to the respective width of the web, the same format setting device or an additional format setting device can be used. Each format adjuster may be a valve with gate valve.
Die Blasöffnungen können Drosseldüsen sein, bei denen der Luftstrom durch einen Filtereinsatz oder ein Kanallabyrinth gedrosselt wird. Der Filtereinsatz kann ein Schaumstoffstück sein, das in der Düsenbohrung sitzt. Das Kanallabyrinth kann ein Lochplattenlabyrinth sein, das einen Kanal zum Anschluss der Blasöffnungen an einen Blaslufterzeuger bildet.The blowing openings may be throttling nozzles in which the air flow is throttled through a filter cartridge or a channel labyrinth. The filter insert can Foam piece sitting in the nozzle bore. The channel labyrinth may be a perforated plate labyrinth that forms a channel for connecting the blow holes to a blower air generator.
Die erste Rolle und/oder die zweite Rolle kann eine Kühlwalze zum Kühlen der Bahn sein, wobei die Kühlwalze von einem Kühlfluid durchströmt ist. Hierbei kann jede Kühlwalze in einen Kreislauf integriert sein, durch den das Kühlfluid mit einer Pumpe zirkuliert wird.The first roller and / or the second roller may be a cooling roller for cooling the web, wherein the cooling roller is traversed by a cooling fluid. Here, each chill roll may be integrated into a circuit through which the cooling fluid is circulated by a pump.
Die erste Rolle, die zweite Rolle und die Schale können entlang eines Transportpfads der Bahn zwischen einer Trocknungs- oder Pinning-Einrichtung und mindestens einem nachfolgenden Inkjet-Druckkopf angeordnet sein. Die Bahnführung, zu der die beiden Rollen und die Schale gehören, kann nach einer Grundierungs- oder Primer-Beschichtungseinrichtung, z.B. für Deckweiß, und vor einer Einrichtung für den mehrfarbigen Inkjet-Druck, z.B. mit vier oder mehr Druckbalken, angeordnet sein.The first roll, the second roll and the shell may be disposed along a transport path of the web between a drying or pinning device and at least one subsequent inkjet printhead. The web guide to which the two rolls and the shell belong may be after a primer or primer coating device, e.g. for opaque white, and before a multicolor inkjet printing device, e.g. with four or more pressure bars, be arranged.

In den
Entlang der Bahn B zwischen der Pinning-Einrichtung 8 und dem Inkjet-Druckkopf 9 sind eine erste Rolle 1 und eine zweite Rolle 2 angeordnet und sind zwischen den beiden Rollen 1, 2 eine Schale 3 und Stützrolle 6 angeordnet. Zwischen den beiden Rollen 1, 2 bildet die Bahn B eine Schlaufe oder Schlinge S. Die Schale 3 befindet sich auf der gleichen Seite der Bahn B wie die Rollen 1, 2, nämlich der durch die Beschichtungseinrichtung 10 nicht beschichteten Rückseite der Bahn B. Auf der entgegengesetzten Seite, nämlich der durch die Beschichtungseinrichtung 10 beschichteten Vorderseite der Bahn B, befindet sich die Stützrolle 6.Along the web B between the
Die Schale 3 sorgt im Druckbetrieb dafür, dass die Schlinge S stabil ist, so dass die Bahn B die Rollen 1, 2 jeweils über einen maximierten Umfangswinkel hinweg umschlingt. Dadurch ist die Fläche des Kontaktes zwischen der Bahn B und der Rolle 1 bzw. 2 groß und ist die Wärmeübertragung von der Bahn B auf die jeweilige Rolle 1 bzw. 2 auch dementsprechend groß.The
Bei der Behandlung der Bahn B mit der Pinning-Einrichtung 8 wird die Bahn B in unerwünschter Weise erwärmt, was ein unvermeidlicher Nebeneffekt ist. Diese Erwärmung der Bahn B würde der Druckqualität beim Bedrucken der Bahn B mit dem Inkjet-Druckkopf 9 abträglich sein, wenn keine Gegenmaßnahme getroffen wird. Ohne Gegenmaßnahme würden in der Bahn B Längsfalten auftreten, die im Druckbild des Inkjet-Druckkopfs 9 sichtbar wären.In the treatment of the web B with the
Die Gegenmaßnahme besteht in einem Kühlen der Bahn B mittels einer der oder vorzugsweise beider Rollen 1, 2, wozu diese als Kühlrollen ausgebildet sind. Die Rollen 1, 2 werden von einem Kühlmittel, z.B. Kühlwasser, durchflossen und bewirken eine Absenkung der Temperatur der Bahn B auf einen Wert, bei dem die Längsfalten nicht auftreten und der nachfolgende Inkjet-Druck nicht beeinträchtigt ist.The countermeasure consists in cooling the web B by means of one or preferably both
In die Führungsfläche bzw. Düsenfläche sind Saugöffnungen 4 und Blasöffnungen 5 eingebracht. Die Saugöffnungen 4 sind über eine Formateinstelleinrichtung 7 an einen nicht näher dargestellten Vakuumerzeuger angeschlossen und die Blasöffnungen 5 sind über die Formateinstelleinrichtung 7 an eine nicht näher dargestellte Druckluftquelle angeschlossen.In the guide surface or nozzle
Die Blasöffnungen 5 sind als Drosseldüsen ausgebildet und in Reihen angeordnet, die mit der Laufrichtung R der Bahn B parallel verlaufen. Die Saugöffnungen 4 sind als Nuten ausgebildet, welche ebenfalls mit der Laufrichtung R parallel verlaufen. Quer zur Laufrichtung R gesehen sind die Saugöffnungen 4 im Wechsel mit den Blasöffnungen 5 angeordnet.The blowing
