Zur Erfindung gehört auch eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen oder einer der Weiterbildung entsprechenden Verfahrens, wobei die Vorrichtung dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, das eine Bedruckstoffabroll-Station, eine Fluidbeschichtungs-Station, einen Folientransport-Station, eine Querschneid-Station und eine Bogendruck-Station in der genannten Reihenfolge hintereinander angeordnet sind.The invention also includes a device for carrying out the method according to the invention or one of the further developments, the device being characterized in that a printing material unwind station, a fluid coating station, a film transport station, a cross-cutting station and a sheet-fed printing station in are arranged one behind the other in the order mentioned.

Ein Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist deren gute Eignung zur inline erfolgenden Durchführung des Verfahrens.One advantage of the device according to the invention is its good suitability for carrying out the method inline.

Weitere konstruktiv und funktionell vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbespielen und der zugehörigen Zeichnung, worin zeigt:

Figur 1
ein Schema des Ablaufs der Schritte des Verfahrens und
Figur 2
eine Vorrichtung zur inline erfolgenden Durchführung des Verfahrens.
Further structurally and functionally advantageous developments emerge from the following description of exemplary embodiments and the associated drawing, which shows:
Figure 1
a scheme of the flow of the steps of the method and
Figure 2
a device for carrying out the process inline.

Figur 1 zeigt einen Ablaufplan des Herstellungsverfahrens, bei welchem ein erster Schritt 100, zweiter Schritt 200, dritter Schritt 300 und vierter Schritt 400 in der genannten Reihenfolge nacheinander erfolgen. Zwischen den Schritten 100 bis 400 können weitere Schritte erfolgen, z. B. mit einer Corona-Behandlung der Bahn 1. Figure 1 shows a flow chart of the production method, in which a first step 100, second step 200, third step 300 and fourth step 400 take place one after the other in the order mentioned. Further steps can be carried out between steps 100 to 400, e.g. B. with a corona treatment of web 1.

Im ersten Schritt 100 wird die Bahn 1 oder die Folie 24 mit einem Fluid beschichtet. Wenn das Fluid ein Kleber für ein Kaltfolien-Transferverfahren ist, kann das Fluid auf die Bahn 1 oder Folie 24 oder beide aufgebracht werden. Wenn das Fluid als Prägemasse dienen soll, in die in einem Cast-And-Cure-Verfahren eine Oberflächenstruktur hineingeprägt werden soll, wird das Fluid auf die Bahn 1 aufgetragen.In the first step 100, the web 1 or the film 24 is coated with a fluid. If the fluid is an adhesive for a cold foil transfer process, the fluid can be applied to web 1 or foil 24 or both. If the fluid is to serve as an embossing compound into which a surface structure is to be embossed in a cast-and-cure process, the fluid is applied to the web 1.

Im zweiten Schritt 200 wird mittels der Folie 24 die Bahn 1 behandelt. Diese Behandlung kann beim Kaltfolien-Transferverfahren in dem Ablösen einer Transferschicht von der Folie 24 und dem Aufkleben der Transferschicht auf die Bahn 1 und beim Cast-And-Cure-Verfahren im bereits erwähnten Prägen der Oberflächenstruktur mittels der Folie 24 als Prägewerkzeug bestehen.In the second step 200, the web 1 is treated by means of the film 24. In the cold foil transfer process, this treatment can consist in detaching a transfer layer from the foil 24 and sticking the transfer layer onto the web 1 and in the cast-and-cure process in the already mentioned embossing of the surface structure using the foil 24 as an embossing tool.

Im dritten Schritt 300 wird die Bahn 1 in Bogen 9 zerschnitten. Das Format der Bogen 9 ist während eines Druckauftrags konstant und kann von Druckauftrag zu Druckauftrag variieren.In the third step 300, the web 1 is cut into sheets 9. The format of the sheets 9 is constant during a print job and can vary from print job to print job.

Im vierten Schritte 400 werden die Bogen 9 bedruckt, was per Flexodruck, Siebdruck, Digitaldruck (z. B. Inkjet) oder vorzugsweise Offsetdruck (planografisch) erfolgen kann. Der die Bahn 1 und später die Bogen 9 bildende Bedruckstoff kann Papier, Karton oder Kunststoff sein.In the fourth step 400, the sheets 9 are printed, which can be done by flexographic printing, screen printing, digital printing (e.g. inkjet) or preferably offset printing (planographic). The printing material forming the web 1 and later the sheets 9 can be paper, cardboard or plastic.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Maschinenanordnung, mit der das Herstellungsverfahren in einem Inline-Prozess durchgeführt werden kann. In einer Bedruckstoffabroll-Station 11 wird die Bahn 1 von einer Rolle abgewickelt und in Bedruckstoff-Transportrichtung BT transportiert. In einer Fluidbeschichtungs-Station 2 wird der erste Schritt 100 durchgeführt. Hierbei wird die Bahn 1 vollflächig oder teilflächig (z. B. Spotlackierung) mit dem erforderlichen Fluid beschichtet. Figure 2 shows a machine arrangement with which the manufacturing method can be carried out in an inline process. In a printing material unwind station 11, the web 1 is unwound from a roll and transported in the printing material transport direction BT. The first step 100 is carried out in a fluid coating station 2. In this case, the web 1 is coated over the entire area or part of the area (e.g. spot coating) with the required fluid.

Die Fluidbeschichtungs-Station 2 kann als Kassette ausgebildet und gegen eine andere austauschbar sein. Beispielsweise kann die eine Fluidbeschichtungs-Station 2 für das Auftragen eines hochviskosen Fluids und die andere Fluidbeschichtungs-Station 2 das Auftragen eines niedrigviskosen Fluids speziell ausgebildet sein. Die dargestellte Fluidbeschichtungs-Station 2 umfasst eine Kammerrakel 12, Rasterwalze 13, Auftragswalze 14 und Gegendruckwalze 15.The fluid coating station 2 can be designed as a cassette and can be exchanged for another. For example, one fluid coating station 2 can be specially designed for the application of a high-viscosity fluid and the other fluid-coating station 2 for the application of a low-viscosity fluid. The illustrated fluid coating station 2 comprises a chamber doctor blade 12, anilox roller 13, application roller 14 and counter pressure roller 15.

In einer Folientransport-Station 3 wird der zweite Schritt 200 durchgeführt und dabei die Folie 24 in Folientransportrichtung FT von einer Abwickelrolle 16 zu einer Aufwickelrolle 17 bewegt. In einer Kontaktzone 4 werden die Bahn 1 und die mit ihr synchron laufende Folie 24 zusammengepresst. Hierbei erfolgt beim Kaltfolien-Transferverfahren die Übertragung der Transferschicht und beim alternativen Cast-And-Cure-Verfahren das Prägen des Mikroreliefs. Die Folie 24 und die Bahn 1 laufen zusammen durch einen Pressspalt, der von einer Anpresswalze 18 und einer Gegendruckwalze 19 dazwischen gebildet wird.The second step 200 is carried out in a film transport station 3 and the film 24 is moved in the film transport direction FT from an unwinding roller 16 to a winding roller 17. In a contact zone 4, the web 1 and the film 24 running synchronously with it are pressed together. With the cold foil transfer process, the transfer layer is transferred and with the alternative cast-and-cure process, the micro-relief is embossed. The film 24 and the web 1 run together through a press nip which is formed between a pressure roller 18 and a counter-pressure roller 19.

Dass der Bedruckstoff in der Folientransport-Station 3 in Form der Bahn 1 und nicht in Form von Bogen verarbeitet wird, ist hinsichtlich des Kontakts zwischen Folie 24 und Bedruckstoff vorteilhaft. Für den Transport der Bahn 1 benötigt die Gegendruckwalze 19 keine Greifer, welche im Gegensatz dazu zum Halten von Bogen erforderlich wären und besagten Kontakt beeinträchtigen würden.The fact that the printing material is processed in the film transport station 3 in the form of the web 1 and not in the form of sheets is advantageous with regard to the contact between the film 24 and the printing material. For the transport of the web 1, the counterpressure roller 19 does not require any grippers, which, in contrast, would be required to hold sheets and would impair said contact.

Innerhalb der Kontaktzone 4 wird der Fluidfilm zwischen der Folie 24 und Bahn 1 mit einer Härtungseinrichtung 5 durch Bestrahlung, z. B. mit UV-Strahlung, gehärtet, wobei das Fluid polymerisiert. Die Strahlung der Härtungseinrichtung 5 geht hierbei durch die Folie 24 hindurch, welche dazu transparent oder UV-durchlässig sein kann.Within the contact zone 4, the fluid film between the foil 24 and the web 1 is hardened with a curing device 5 by irradiation, e.g. B. with UV radiation, cured, wherein the fluid polymerizes. The radiation from the curing device 5 passes through the film 24, which for this purpose can be transparent or UV-permeable.

In einer Querschneid-Station 6 wird der dritte Schritt 300 durchgeführt. Die Querschneid-Station 6 umfasst einen Bahnspeicher 20 mit mäander-förmigem Verlauf der Bahn 1, Führungs- oder Transportrollen 21, 22 und eine Messerwalze 23 als Schneidwerkzeug. Die Messerwalze 23 zerschneidet die mit der aufgeklebten Transferschicht oder der geprägten Prägeschicht versehene Bahn 1 in gleichgroße Bogen 9, von denen dann jeder die Transferschicht oder Prägeschicht trägt. Die Bogen 9 können vollflächig oder nur auf einer Teilfläche mit der Transferschicht oder Prägeschicht beschichtet sein.The third step 300 is carried out in a cross-cutting station 6. The cross-cutting station 6 comprises a web store 20 with a meandering course of the web 1, guide or transport rollers 21, 22 and a knife roller 23 as a cutting tool. The knife roller 23 cuts the web 1 provided with the glued-on transfer layer or the embossed embossing layer into sheets 9 of the same size, each of which then carries the transfer layer or embossing layer. The sheets 9 can be coated with the transfer layer or embossing layer over the entire area or only on a partial area.

Die Querschneid-Station 6 kann mit einem Registerschnittsystem ausgestattet sein. Bei einer Variante des Registerschnittsystems weist dieses einen Schneidmarkensensor auf, und der Schnitt erfolgt nach einer Schneidmarke, welche vorher auf die Bahn gedruckt oder aufgebracht wird. Die Schneidmarke kann durch auf die Bahn aufgeklebte Kaltfolie, Kaltfolienkleber allein (ohne Kaltfolie), geprägte Cast-and-Cure-Elemente (Prägeschicht) oder Cast-and-Cure-Fluid allein (Prägefluid ohne Prägung) gebildet werden. Bei einer alternativen Variante weist das Registerschnittsystem eine Kamera auf, die hochauflösend ist und im Durchlichtverfahren arbeitet, wobei die Schneidmarke im Durchlicht detektiert wird oder ein Wasserzeichen als Schneidmarke fungiert. Bei beiden Varianten wird die Messerwalze 23 während ihres Umlaufs verzögert oder beschleunigt, um die Schneidmarke hinreichend genau zu treffen.The cross cutting station 6 can be equipped with a register cutting system. In a variant of the register cutting system, this has a cutting mark sensor, and the cut takes place according to a cutting mark which is previously printed or applied to the web. The cutting mark can be formed by cold foil glued onto the web, cold foil adhesive alone (without cold foil), embossed cast-and-cure elements (embossing layer) or cast-and-cure fluid alone (embossing fluid without embossing). In an alternative variant, the register cutting system has a camera that is high-resolution and works in the transmitted light method, the cutting mark being detected in the transmitted light or a watermark functioning as a cutting mark. In both variants, the knife roller 23 is decelerated or accelerated during its revolution in order to hit the cutting mark with sufficient accuracy.

Der vierte Schritt 400 wird in einer Bogendruck-Station 10 durchgeführt, an welche die Querschneid-Station 6 die Bogen 9 übergibt. Die Bogendruck-Station 10 kann ein oder vorzugsweise mehrere Druckwerke umfassen, z. B. für mehrfarbigen Offsetdruck. Die Bogendruck-Station 10 kann das Druckbild neben oder auf die mit dem Fluid auf dem Bogen 9 erzeugte Schicht drucken. Beispielsweise kann das Druckbild neben ein durch die Prägeschicht gebildetes Hologramm gesetzt werden. Alternativ ist es möglich, das Druckbild auf die Transferschicht zu setzen, z. B. wenn diese eine silberne Aluminiumschicht ist, die mit gelber Druckfarbe überdruckt wird, um einen Goldeffekt zu erzeugen.The fourth step 400 is carried out in a sheet printing station 10 to which the cross cutting station 6 transfers the sheets 9. The sheet-fed printing station 10 can comprise one or preferably several printing units, e.g. B. for multi-color offset printing. The sheet printing station 10 can print the print image next to or on the layer produced with the fluid on the sheet 9. For example, the print image can be placed next to a hologram formed by the embossing layer. Alternatively, it is possible to place the print image on the transfer layer, e.g. B. if this is a silver aluminum layer overprinted with yellow ink to create a gold effect.

Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, dass der Druck auf die beim Ablösen der Transferschicht von der Folie 24 kurz vorher freigelegte Seite der Transferschicht erfolgt, welche vorher durch die Trägerschicht der Folie 24 sozusagen "versiegelt" war. Aufgrund der schnellen Abfolge der Schritte beim Inline-Prozess erfolgt zwischen dem zweiten Schritt 200 und dem vierten Schritt 400 keine spürbare Alterung der zu bedruckenden Schichtseite, wodurch sonst deren Bedruckbarkeit beeinträchtigt werden könnte.It is advantageous here that the pressure is applied to the side of the transfer layer which was exposed shortly beforehand when the transfer layer was detached from the film 24 and which was previously "sealed", so to speak, by the carrier layer of the film 24. Due to the rapid sequence of steps in the inline process, there is no noticeable aging of the layer side to be printed between the second step 200 and the fourth step 400, which could otherwise impair its printability.

Mit Pfeilsymbolen (Bezugszeichen "7" und "8") ist die Anordnung von Corona-Einrichtungen zur Behandlung der Bahn 1 angedeutet für den Fall, dass die Bahn 1 aus Kunststoff besteht. Die Corona-Einrichtung 7 ist in Bedruckstoff-Transportrichtung BT vor der Fluidbeschichtungs-Station 2 angeordnet und die Corona-Einrichtung 8 zwischen der Kontaktzone 4 und der Messerwalze 23.The arrangement of corona devices for treating the web 1 is indicated by arrow symbols (reference symbols “7” and “8”) in the event that the web 1 is made of plastic. The corona device 7 is arranged in front of the fluid coating station 2 in the printing material transport direction BT and the corona device 8 is arranged between the contact zone 4 and the knife roller 23.
