Definitions

  • the invention relates to a machining tool of a processing machine and a method for dressing a machining tool according to the preamble of claim 1 or claim 7.
  • packaging materials in web or sheet form are processed.
  • the sheets are printed, embossed, grooved, perforated, punched, cut, stapled, glued and folded into packaging, for example.
  • a sheet processing machine can include various processing steps such as printing, cutting, embossing, creasing, punching, perforating, gluing and/or stapling. Such sheet processing machines often also have inspection devices. Sheets are usually processed and trimmed in processing machines with mold-based punching and cutting devices.
  • Such a processing machine is designed, for example, as a punching, cutting, perforating, embossing and/or creasing machine. If such a processing machine is referred to below as a punching and/or punching machine, this also means a cutting, perforating, embossing and/or creasing machine.
  • a punching and/or punching machine this also means a cutting, perforating, embossing and/or creasing machine.
  • Flat die cutters especially flatbed die cutters. In these, several sheets are processed one after the other using a cyclically repeating movement.
  • Rotary die-cutting machines can be equipped with the following modules: punching unit, creasing unit, embossing unit and stripping unit.
  • punching unit By using rotary die-cutting machines, significantly higher production speeds can be achieved due to the continuous movement process.
  • Rotary die-cutting machines can be equipped with the following modules: punching unit, creasing unit, embossing unit and stripping unit.
  • Such a rotary die-cutting machine is, for example, from the WO 2017/089420 A2 known.
  • Manufacturing tolerances of tools or different load distribution during processing, especially punching, can lead to wear on the blades or tools with height differences. This results in, for example, uneven punching pressure, which can lead to an unclean punching result.
  • the punching tools and/or grooving tools and/or embossing tools must be reworked to compensate for the errors and/or deviations. To do this, a substance is applied to the back of the respective processing tool. This is called dressing the processing tools.
  • the EP 2 327 521 A1 discloses, for example, a method for trimming punching tools in flatbed punches.
  • trimming is usually carried out using special adhesive tape and/or special adhesive strips, which compensate for the unevenness and/or deviations and/or errors on the blades. The errors and/or deviations are compensated for by gluing the back of the punching and/or creasing blades. Due to the relatively high tolerances in the flatbed area, the punching tool can be trimmed sufficiently well with the adhesive tape.
  • adhesive tape is available in different thicknesses.
  • (trimming) sheets can be used for trimming with the required basic contour to ensure precise application of the layers to compensate for the cutting heights.
  • (Trimming) sheets made of paper, such as tissue paper, plastic or the like, are used. Such Sheets are usually thin and pressure-resistant and represent the entire required cutting contour.
  • the EN 10 2012 017 636 A1 discloses a processing tool of a processing machine, in particular a flatbed punch.
  • the processing tool comprises an upper tool and a wooden support plate.
  • a trimming sheet is arranged between them.
  • a swelling agent can be used for trimming on the trimming sheet.
  • DE 20 2013 100 883 U1 discloses a trimming sheet of a strip steel punching tool.
  • EP 3 342 568 B1 is a system for compensating for misalignment of a die for die cutting cardboard. Height correcting elements can be captured and a digital representation of the digital file can be projected onto a pressure compensation plate of the die cutter.
  • the EP 0 418 768 A2 discloses a punching sheet, tool and a method for manufacturing. Negative tolerances that arise when grinding the punching edges can be compensated with a layer of plastic, e.g. liquid two-component phase, on the back of the punching sheet.
  • the invention is based on the object of creating a machining tool of a processing machine and a method for dressing.
  • a preparation sheet behind the processing tool, in particular the punching tool can be dispensed with.
  • the complex production and/or storage of the preparation sheet which entails costs in addition to the costs of the processing tools, in particular the punching and/or creasing tools, can be dispensed with.
  • a preparation sheet not only has to be produced and/or archived in addition to the tool costs, but also becomes damaged over time through repeated use and then has to be remade, which is costly and time-consuming.
  • the invention is not limited to rotary processing methods, but is also particularly suitable for use in flat and cyclically guided processing methods. Preparation is also useful in flatbed punches, since there too the use of preparation agents means that conventional preparation sheets can be dispensed with. Depending on the use of the preparation agent, even larger deviations can be compensated for.
  • a digital processing contour is used for this purpose.
  • the digital processing contour of the processing tool can be determined, for example, from a pre-processing stage, for example a punching pre-stage and/or pre-printing stage. After inspecting the processing tool and/or the processing result, areas on the digital processing contour can be marked. For inspection, for example, a sample sheet is processed or the contours of the processing tool are viewed directly. This is done either by an operator or fully automatically by an integrated inspection device. Preferably, marking is done at a control station, where the processing contour or the cutting layout is displayed and the areas to be reworked (trimming) are directly indicated. using an input device.
  • markings in mobile devices are also conceivable and useful.
  • any digital input device can be used for this.
  • This digital data can then be used in different ways to make it easier to prepare the machining tool and, if necessary, to automate it.
  • this data can also be saved and called up again at any time. In particular, when using preparation sheets, the work result cannot/could not be saved and one had to be created again.
  • such a simplification is achieved by coupling it with a projection device.
  • the processing tool is positioned in an aligned manner and the processing contour with the markings is projected onto the back of the processing tool.
  • An operator can quickly and easily identify the places where a finishing agent must be applied. The finishing points are thus easily identified.
  • a short-throw projector is particularly preferred for this purpose, as this saves space in particular.
  • a liquid finishing agent is used to make operation even easier. This can be hardened using radiation, in particular UV radiation, for example.
  • the digital data can be passed directly to a control system for controlling an adjusting arm.
  • the adjusting arm can then, for example, apply the trimming agent fully automatically.
  • the controlled arm can, for example, communicate using a machine control system and receive signals from a quality control system, for example.
  • a quality control system is arranged in different areas of the punching machine and/or can also be arranged on upstream machines, such as printing machines and/or downstream on folding and/or gluing machines.
  • different processes can be linked together in this way and automation can be further advanced.
  • There is no need for complex and/or inaccurate manual trimming. can be dispensed with. Additional labor costs can be saved in this way. For example, an operator would only have to select the UV layer thickness that is to be applied.
  • the controlled arm takes care of the rest automatically. For example, curing is also fully automatic. In this embodiment, for example, projection could be dispensed with.
  • a further advantage that can be achieved with the invention is in particular that the machining tool is prepared directly in the machining machine.
  • the machining tool is removed from the machining machine semi- and/or fully automatically, for example similar to a plate changing machine on a printing press, and the preparation agent is applied fully automatically using the digital data, for example with the actuating arm.
  • a machining tool, in particular a punching plate can then be automatically spot-painted and then hardened directly in a plate changing machine. This would eliminate the need to remove the punching plate from the shaping unit or the punching tower, for example.
  • a fully automatic plate changing machine an operator does not even have to leave the control station. After hardening, the plate can be fed back in using the plate changing machine.
  • a further advantage that can be achieved with the invention is that the finishing is carried out using an applyable paint and/or paint mixture.
  • Spray paints are usually used for surface and/or zone-wise application. This allows an operator to finish the work faster and easier. Precise lines can be applied to small areas using touch-up pens. Preferably, such a paint can be applied and then hardened.
  • the waiting time for the paint to dry can be minimized by using a blasting device, preferably a large-area one.
  • a blasting device is attached to a fixed structure so that incorrect blasting can be avoided and better protection for an operator can be guaranteed. In particular, this allows faster curing and/or drying over the entire surface.
  • such curing is carried out using UV light.
  • Such a process has the advantage that the varnish can be applied very precisely and that curing can be carried out in a very controlled manner.
  • a scratch-resistant layer is created which has sufficient temperature resistance and resistance to mechanical stress for use in a punching machine.
  • thin layers with the required tolerances of 5-10 ⁇ m can be achieved.
  • a layer thickness can be set depending on the mixing ratio of the varnish, for example with alcohol. Layer thicknesses between 5 and 15 micrometers can be achieved.
  • the UV varnishes are cured over a large area using a UV LED, which is preferably arranged on the device for dressing. The dressing thus carried out can be removed very easily after the large area has been hardened and/or dried.
  • the dressing can be applied very precisely and only cutting contours that actually need to be dressed can be reworked. With large-area zone dressing, zones that were already sufficient in terms of cutting quality are already dressed. This can be avoided.
  • the dressings are scratch-resistant, mechanically resistant and resistant to the temperatures introduced into the punching cylinder (temperature-resistant). Due to the rapid hardening and/or drying, the operator's waiting time during dressing can be minimized.
  • the dressing agent can be a dispersion consisting of a dispersion medium and a disperse phase.
  • the dispersion medium contains at least one, preferably slightly volatile, solvent.
  • the disperse phase consists of a finely distributed solid. This remains when the solvent evaporates and can be used for dressing. Very thin layers can be applied.
  • the dispersion is particularly easy to apply using an applicator pen and can be applied automatically using an actuator arm.
  • the dispersion is also characterized by a high proportion of highly volatile solvents. This means that drying times can be kept very short. For example, a drying time of just a few seconds can be achieved.
  • Such a dispersion particularly preferably has a ketone as the solvent, preferably methyl ethyl ketone (MEK for short).
  • MEK methyl ethyl ketone
  • the solvent evaporates very quickly, which leads to the dispersion drying quickly.
  • the remaining particles and/or pigments of the dispersion form a robust layer that is scratch-resistant, pressure-resistant and heat-resistant.
  • the dispersion preferably has a high proportion of at least 50%, more preferably at least 60%, even more preferably 70%, of solvent.
  • the layer thickness of the finishing layer can be easily adjusted by adjusting the proportion of solvent.
  • a dispersion that has finely distributed particles, in particular pigments, is particularly advantageous.
  • the dispersion for dressing is an ink, more preferably an inkjet ink. Ink has the advantage that it is inexpensive and readily available. Furthermore, inkjet ink poses hardly any danger to the operator. There is also no need for radiation for drying. Particularly preferably, the ink can also be
  • a further advantage that can be achieved with the invention is in particular that the processing tools, preferably punching tools, can be inspected using a mobile device and detected errors can be transmitted automatically. The errors can then be corrected automatically, for example, using the previously described embodiment.
