Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、フィルム原反を供給する巻取り給紙部と、円筒状の凹版タイプのグラビア版胴、液体インキを供給するインキパンを備えた印刷部と、該印刷されたインキを乾燥する乾燥部と、排紙部とを主体にして構成されたウェブ輪転印刷装置と、その印刷装置に使用されるフィルムの搬送ロール、インキパンの印刷装置用部材と、その印刷装置用部材の表面処理方法に関するものである。
但し、平版印刷分野、枚葉印刷分野などの印刷装置にも、応用する事ができる。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
グラビア印刷装置は、フィルム原反を供給する巻取り給紙部と、円筒状の凹版タイプのグラビア版胴、液体インキを供給するインキパンを備えた印刷部と、その印刷されたインキを乾燥する乾燥部と、排紙部とを主体にして構成され、それらの構成部の間をフィルムが搬送ロール等に導かれ、移動していくものである。上記の給紙部から排紙部までの工程の長さは数メートルから数十メートルにも及び、印刷用フィルムは数多くのロールと高速度で接触し、通過していく。その際に、フィルム、接触ロール等に静電気が発生し、印刷面に異物等が付着しやすく、またその静電気によるスパークにより火災や人的災害を及ぼす等の問題がある。
それに対して、例えば、特許文献1では給紙部、印刷部、排紙部の各ユニット周辺の相対湿度を40〜60%に制御して製造することが提案されている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記の方法では、印刷装置周辺の湿度環境を制御するには、大掛かりな空調設備が必要となり、製造コストが高くかかり、実用上問題があり、また、帯電防止対策として、完全なものとはいえないものである。
したがって、本発明は、上記のような問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、グラビア印刷装置に代表される巻取りフィルムの印刷装置において、高速印刷してもフィルムやそのフィルムと接触する部材に帯電が生じにくく、また印刷するインキが完全に乾燥していない状態で、フィルムの印刷部分とロールとが接触してインキがロールに転移したりすることなく、印刷物の品質が良好であり、印刷の作業環境も安全である印刷装置及びその印刷装置のフィルムと接触するロールを提供することを目的とする。
また、その印刷装置で使用されるインキパンのインキの廃棄やインキ交換の際に、インキ洗浄、インキ拭き取り等の作業性が良好であるインキパンの印刷装置用部材及び帯電防止性、インキとの離型性に優れた上記の接触ロールやインキパン等の印刷装置用部材の表面処理方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上述の目的を達成するために、本発明の印刷装置用部材は、鉄、ステンレス、アルミニウム、CFRP(carbon fiber reinforced plastic、炭素繊維強化プラスチック)を主体とした導電性金属からなり、該部材表面にタングステン化合物、モリブデン化合物、クロム化合物の金属化合物、それを含有する合金またはサーメットが溶射され、該溶射された面にフッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂が被覆し、かつ該樹脂の被覆表面から上記溶射された金属類の一部が表面に露出していることを特徴とする。
【0006】
また、本発明の印刷装置用部材の表面処理方法は、鉄、ステンレス、アルミ、CFRPを主体とした導電性金属からなる印刷装置用部材の表面処理において、該表面にタングステン化合物、モリブデン化合物、クロム化合物の金属化合物、それを含有する合金またはサーメットを溶射して、該溶射された面にフッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂により、上記溶射した金属類の一部を表面に露出させる程度に、表面を被覆することを特徴とする。
さらに、本発明の印刷装置用部材の表面処理方法は、鉄、ステンレスを主体とした導電性金属からなる印刷装置用部材の表面処理において、該表面にタングステン化合物、モリブデン化合物、クロム化合物の金属化合物、それを含有する合金またはサーメットを溶射して、該溶射された面にフッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂により被覆し、その後に該樹脂の被覆面を研磨して、上記溶射された金属類の一部を表面に露出させることを特徴とする。
【0007】
本発明の印刷装置は、上に記載の印刷装置用部材を、印刷用フィルムが搬送される時に該フィルムと接触するロール及び/またはインキを溜めておくインキパンとして使用し、フィルム原反を供給する巻取り給紙部と、円筒状の凹版タイプのグラビア版胴、液体インキを供給するインキパンを備えた印刷部と、該印刷されたインキを乾燥する乾燥部と、排紙部とを主体にして構成されたことを特徴とする。
【0008】
【作用】
本発明では、印刷装置用部材が、鉄、ステンレス、アルミ、CFRPを主体とした導電性金属から構成し、該部材表面にタングステン化合物、モリブデン化合物、クロム化合物の金属化合物、それを含有する合金またはサーメットが溶射され、該溶射された面にフッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂が被覆し、かつ該樹脂の被覆表面から上記溶射された金属類の一部が表面に露出している。その表面に露出した金属類は、非常に導電性に優れているため、また被覆面のフッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂の体積抵抗率を間接的に低下させることにもなり、帯電防止性に優れ、被覆樹脂の撥水性、撥油性に優れ、また非粘着性、耐溶剤性等に優れた特性を生かした印刷装置用部材が得られる。また、部材表面に露出して、突出した金属粒子は非常に硬度が高く、印刷用のフィルムとの接触においても、摩耗が少なく、高寿命で品質の劣化が少ない。
【0009】
この印刷装置用部材を、印刷用フィルムが搬送される時に該フィルムと接触するロールとして使用すれば、フィルムとロールとの接触して離れる際の剥離帯電を少なくすることができ、また印刷したインキが完全に乾燥していない状態で、フィルムの印刷部分とロールとが接触してインキがロールに転移することが発生しにくくなる。また、この印刷装置用部材を、液体インキを溜めておくインキパンとして使用すれば、インキパン内にあったインキの廃棄やインキ交換の際に、インキパン内のインキとインキパン表面との離型性に優れ、またインキパン表面の耐溶剤性、耐摩耗性等に優れた特性を有するため、インキ洗浄、インキ拭き取り等の作業が非常に簡単に、短時間で行えるようになる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の印刷装置用部材とその表面処理方法及び該部材を用いた印刷装置について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
図1は、本発明における印刷装置用部材の一つの実施形態を示す部分拡大の概略図である。図示した印刷装置用部材1は、ガイドロールであり、ロール形状を維持させるために鉄を主体とした導電性金属からなる構成され、その鉄の部材表面4にタングステンカーバイト(タングステン炭化物)が溶射されて、粒状2になって、部材表面4に付着している。その溶射された面にフッ素系樹脂が被覆し、図示したように、部材表面4を被覆したフッ素系樹脂3の表面より少し突出した状態で、溶射された金属類の粒子2の一部が表面に露出している。このような状態にするには、フッ素系樹脂を部材表面4に金属類粒子2を完全に覆い尽くす程度に厚めに形成し、その後に該フッ素系樹脂の被覆面を研磨して、図示したようにしたものである。
尚、図1に示すような、被覆する樹脂表面から金属類の一部を突出させるには上記のように研磨する方法もあるが、それに限らず、研磨方法をせずに、金属類の溶射された面にフッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂により、上記溶射した金属類の一部を表面に露出させる程度に、被覆する樹脂層の厚みを調整してもよい。
【0011】
図2は、本発明における印刷装置用部材の他の実施形態を示す部分拡大の概略図である。図示した印刷装置用部材1は、液体インキを溜めておくインキパンであり、インキパンの形状を維持させるためにステンレスを主体とした導電性金属からなる構成され、そのステンレスの部材表面4にタングステンカーバイト(タングステン炭化物)が溶射されて、粒状2になって、部材表面4に付着している。その溶射された面とステンレスの部材表面4にフッ素系樹脂が被覆し、図示したように、部材表面4を被覆したフッ素系樹脂3の表面より少し突出した状態で、溶射された金属類の粒子2の一部が表面に露出している。このような状態にするには、フッ素系樹脂を部材表面4に金属類粒子2を完全に覆い尽くす程度に厚めに形成し、その後に該フッ素系樹脂の被覆面を研磨して、図示したようにしたものである。
【0012】
(溶射される金属類)
鉄、ステンレス、アルミ、CFRPを主体とした導電性金属からなる印刷装置用部材の表面に、溶射される金属類について説明する。
まず、溶射法について説明すると、材料とする金属類を高温で溶解し、これを微粒とし、あたかも霧吹きのように素材表面に吹き付ける方法である。上記の高温とは使用する材料、方法によって異なるが、2273〜10273Kである。使用する溶滴は、素材に達すると急冷され、素材の温度は573K以下に保たれる。
したがって、溶射法によれば、加工速度が速く、ドライプロセスで加工できる利点がある。
【0013】
この溶射法により、印刷装置用部材の表面に、粒状に付着される金属類は、例えば、印刷用フィルムとロールとの接触して離れる際の剥離帯電を少なくする為の導電性、また印刷用フィルムとロールとの接触における耐摩耗性等の要求を十分に満足できるような材質が必要となる。本発明では、この金属類として、タングステン化合物、モリブデン化合物、クロム化合物の金属化合物、それを含有する合金またはサーメット等の超硬金属類を選定することにより、上記の要求を満足することができた。尚、サーメットは、セラミックの粉末と金属の粉末とを圧縮成形、焼結した複合材料である。
上記の溶射される金属類は、印刷装置用部材の表面に数十μm〜数百μmの厚さで形成され、図1、図2に示すような部材表面には金属粒子が複数個積み重なった状態で形成される。
【0014】
(被覆する樹脂)
鉄、ステンレス、アルミ、CFRPを主体とした導電性金属からなる印刷装置用部材の表面に、上記の金属化合物またはそれを含有する合金が溶射され、該溶射された面にフッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂が被覆している。但し、上記溶射された金属類の一部が印刷装置用部材の表面に露出している。本発明で使用する印刷装置用部材において、インキパンやクーリングロール等のインキと直接に接触するものは、その表面を被覆する樹脂は、耐溶剤性に優れたフッ素系樹脂を使用することが好ましい。
上記の印刷装置用部材の表面を被覆するフッ素系樹脂としては、例えば、フッ素樹脂としては、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)、パーフルオロエチレン−パーフルオロアルキルビニールエーテル共重合体(PFA)、テトラフルオロエチレン−ヘキサフルオロプロピレン共重合体(FEP)、テトラフルオロエチレン−ヘキサフルオロプロピレン共重合体(PFEP)、エチレン−テトラフルオロエチレン共重合体(PETFE)、エチレン−クロロトリフルオロエチレン共重合体(PECTFE)、ポリビニリデンフロライド(PVdF)等が挙げられる。
【0015】
また、被覆用樹脂としてのシリコーン樹脂は、被覆樹脂とインキが直接に接触しないような箇所に使用する印刷装置用部材に適用することが望ましい。そのシリコーン樹脂は、ジメチルシリコーン、フロロシリコーン、メチルフェニルシリコーンなどを含むシロキサン結合によって結合されたシリコーンゴムであって、液状タイプのものは縮合反応または付加反応により、またミラブルタイプのものでは、ラジカル反応又は一部付加反応を用いて製造される。シリコーン樹脂としては、例えば市販品として入手できる信越シリコーン社製のKR261,KR271,KR272,KR275,KR280,KR282,KR285,KR251,KR155,KR220,KR201,KR204,KR205,KR206,SA4,ES1001,ES1001N,ES1002T,KR3093や東レシリコーン社製のSR2100,SR2101,SR2107,SR2110,SR2108,SR2109,SR2115,SR2400,SR2410,SR2411,SH805,SH806A,SH840等が用いられる。
【0016】
上記の被覆用樹脂を印刷装置用部材の表面に設ける方法としては、例えば、樹脂粉体を静電塗装し、380℃程度で焼成して形成したり、射出成形、押出成形、粉体コーティング等が挙げられる。被覆用樹脂の形成する厚みは、数μm〜数千μmであり、形成した膜を後で研磨する場合は、溶射された金属類を覆い尽くす程度に比較的多めに形成する。また、研磨方法をせずに、金属類の溶射された面にフッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂により、上記溶射した金属類の一部を表面に露出させる程度に、被覆する樹脂層の厚みを調整する場合は、既に溶射され形成された金属粒子の一部が表面に露出するように比較的少な目に形成する。
【0017】
(印刷装置用部材の表面処理方法)
本発明の印刷装置用部材の表面処理方法は、大別すると、2つの方法がある。一つは、鉄、ステンレス、アルミ、CFRPを主体とした導電性金属からなる印刷装置用部材の表面にタングステン化合物、モリブデン化合物、クロム化合物の金属化合物、それを含有する合金またはサーメットを溶射して、該溶射された面にフッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂により、上記溶射した金属類の一部を表面に露出させる程度に、表面を被覆する表面処理方法である。
もう一つの印刷装置用部材の表面処理方法は、鉄、ステンレス、アルミ、CFRPを主体とした導電性金属からなる印刷装置用部材の表面処理において、該表面にタングステン化合物、モリブデン化合物、クロム化合物の金属化合物、それを含有する合金またはサーメットを溶射して、該溶射された面にフッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂により被覆し、さらに該樹脂の被覆面を研磨して、上記溶射された金属類の一部を表面に露出させる方法である。
【0018】
前者は、樹脂被覆面の研磨する工程がなく、フッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂の被膜樹脂の形成する膜厚を制御することにより、溶射した金属類の一部を表面に露出させるものである。
また、後者は、金属類が溶射された印刷装置用部材の表面に、フッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂を、溶射された金属類を覆い尽くす程度に、比較的ラフに形成し、その後に該樹脂の被覆面を研磨して、上記溶射された金属類の一部を表面に露出させるものである。
【0019】
樹脂被覆面の研磨法としては、バフ研磨、グラインダー研磨、砥石研磨等の従来から知られた方法を使用することができる。また、インキパン等の印刷装置用部材で、その外形形状が円柱のように単純なものではなく、凹凸があったり、鋭角な角を有した外形である場合、被覆樹脂を溶解させる溶液を用いて、表面を洗浄する方法で、樹脂被覆面の表面処理を行うことも可能である。したがって、本発明における、樹脂の被覆面を研磨することは、上記の研磨法のみならず、被覆樹脂を溶解させる溶液を用いて、表面を洗浄する方法も包含した意味とする。
以上の印刷装置用部材の表面処理において、被覆する樹脂表面から金属類が突出、露出する状態は、その金属類の被覆樹脂表面から突出、露出する高さは、数μm〜数百μmのレベルである。
【0020】
(印刷装置用部材)
上記の表面処理方法により処理された印刷装置用部材は、具体的な部材としては、液体インキを供給するインキパン、インキタンク等の液体インキと直接に接する部材、また印刷部で印刷されたインキを乾燥する乾燥部でのガイドロール、その乾燥部の直後にあるクーリングロールや、印刷用フィルムとの接触で剥離帯電を生じやすい箇所の搬送ロール等が挙げられる。
また、図1、図2に示すような印刷装置用部材において、その部材表面に溶射された金属類が粒子が複数個積み重なった状態となっているが、最表面に位置する金属粒子が印刷用フィルム等との接触、摩擦等で摩耗しても、その金属粒子の回りで、金属粒子と印刷装置用部材表面とを固着させているフッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂の被覆樹脂も摩耗し、かつ表面の金属粒子と被覆樹脂と比較した場合、被覆樹脂の方が金属粒子よりは摩耗しやすいため、部材表面は被覆樹脂の表面から溶射された金属類の一部が露出し、突出した最初の使用する前の状態(図1、図2に示すような状態)と同様の状態となり、印刷装置用部材の長寿命化を図ることができる。
【0021】
この際に、部材表面に突出、露出した金属粒子の例えば、一粒がその回りの被覆樹脂も合わせて摩耗し、その一粒単位が消滅しても、その下に位置する別の金属粒子の一部が表面に露出し、突出して、被覆樹脂表面から溶射された金属類の一部が表面に露出した状態で、本発明における印刷装置用部材本来の特徴を生かせる。
【0022】
印刷装置用部材で印刷用フィルムの搬送ロールとして使用する場合、ロール表面の粗さはJIS B0601で規定された中心線平均粗さでRa5〜18μm程度にすることにより、ロール表面が被覆樹脂から溶射された金属類の一部が表面に露出、突出し、導電性、離型性に優れた搬送ロールが得られる。また、搬送ロール、インキパン等の印刷装置用部材において、導電性に優れ、帯電防止性をもたせるために、部材表面の表面電気抵抗値を1013Ω以下のレベルとしたものが好ましい。
【0023】
(印刷装置)
本発明の印刷装置は、上記に説明した印刷装置用部材を、印刷用フィルムが搬送される時に該フィルムと接触するロール及び/またはインキを溜めておくインキパンとして使用し、フィルム原反を供給する巻取り給紙部と、円筒状の凹版タイプのグラビア版胴、液体インキを供給するインキパンを備えた印刷部と、該印刷されたインキを乾燥する乾燥部と、排紙部とを主体にして構成されたウェブ輪転印刷装置である。
図3は本発明の印刷装置の一つの実施形態を示す概略図である。
図示した印刷装置5は、フィルム原反を供給する巻取り給紙部6と、円筒状の凹版タイプのグラビア版胴、液体インキを供給するインキパンを備えた印刷部7と該印刷されたインキを乾燥する乾燥部8と備えたユニットを3つ有し、その後に印刷終了したフィルムを排出して巻き取る排紙部9を備えたウェブ輪転型のグラビア印刷装置である。
【0024】
印刷用フィルム13をロール状に巻き取ったフィルム原反が巻取り給紙部6から矢印の方向に回転し、印刷用フィルムが第1の印刷部7へ搬送される。その印刷部7にて、液体インキ14の溜まっていたインキパン12から、円筒状の凹版タイプのグラビア版胴15にインキ14が供給され、ドクターでインキ量が調整され、グラビア版胴15のインキが版胴15と圧胴16との圧力により、印刷用フィルム13に転移して印刷される。その印刷されたフィルム13は、乾燥部8にて多数のガイドロール10間を通過して、インキが乾燥される。
【0025】
第1印刷部7にて印刷されたフィルム13は、乾燥部8にて印刷されたインキが乾燥し、クーリングロール11にてフィルム印刷面とロール11とが直接に接触してフィルム13が冷却される。そして、その後に搬送ロールによりフィルム13が移動し、第2の印刷部7へ搬送され、第1の印刷部7における印刷と乾燥と同様の工程が行なわれ、次に第3の印刷部7へフィルム13が搬送され、また同様に第3の印刷部7にて印刷、乾燥の工程が行なわれる。そして、第3の印刷部7で印刷、乾燥されたフィルム13は、排紙部9にてロール状に巻き取られ、印刷が終了する。
【0026】
印刷装置にて、印刷されるフィルム13としては、従来の印刷用フィルムに使用されているものと同じ基材を、そのまま用いることができると共に、基材の表面に易接着処理のしてあるものやその他のものも使用することができ、特に制限はされない。好ましい基材の具体例としては、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレートを始めとするポリエステル、ポリカーボネート、ポリアミド、ポリイミド、酢酸セルロース、ポリ塩化ビニリデン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリスチレン、フッ素樹脂、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレン、アイオノマー等のプラスチックフィルム、および、グラシン紙、コンデンサー紙、パラフィン紙等の紙類、セロファン等があり、また、これらの2種以上を積層した複合フィルムなども挙げられる。これらのフィルムの厚さは、その強度および耐熱性が適切になるように材料に応じて適宜変更しているが、通常は、2〜100μm程度が好ましい。
【0027】
印刷部にて印刷される液体インキは、グラビア印刷で従来から使用されるものが使用される。顔料、染料の着色剤と樹脂類、溶剤、添加剤からインキが構成される。
印刷装置における乾燥部では、蒸気、電気等による加熱ドラムによる乾燥方法、赤外線ランプ、遠赤外線チューブヒーターによる乾燥方法、蒸気・電気・ガス・オイル加熱等の熱交換器を用いた熱風による乾燥方法等が適用できる。
【0028】
本発明における印刷装置では、帯電防止性、インキとの離型性に優れた搬送ロール等の印刷装置用部材を使用しているので、印刷速度は低速から特に高速の範囲まで印刷品質を悪化させずに、また、印刷の作業環境も安全である。印刷速度は、例えば10〜500mm/分程度の範囲まで適用可能である。
但し、印刷速度が高速になるほど、乾燥部における温度設定は高くなり、乾燥部の雰囲気温度は50〜400℃程度である。
【0029】
【実施例】
次に実施例を挙げて、本発明を更に具体的に説明する。
(実施例1)
図3に示すようなウェブ輪転型の3色グラビア印刷装置を使用した。但し、その印刷装置における乾燥部8における全てのガイドロール10及びクーリングロール11は、ロール形状を維持させるために鉄を主体とした導電性金属から構成され、その鉄の部材表面にタングステンカーバイトが溶射されて、粒状になって、部材表面に付着している(図1に示すような金属粒子の形成である)。その溶射部分は平均厚み50μmで形成した。その溶射された面に、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)の樹脂で70μmの厚さで被膜を形成し、ほぼ全部の金属粒子を覆い尽くす程度の樹脂被覆である。その後に該樹脂の被覆面をバフ研磨して、図1に示すように上記溶射された金属類の一部を表面に露出させ、各ロールの最終仕上げとした。
【0030】
また、各印刷部におけるインキパンは、ステンレスで形成され、グラビアインキを溜めておく側の表面には、図2に示すように表面にタングステンカーバイトを溶射し、粒状になって、部材表面に付着させた。その溶射部分は平均厚み10μmで形成した。その溶射された面に、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)の樹脂で平均8μmの厚さで被膜を形成し、図2に示すように、被覆樹脂表面から上記溶射された金属類の一部を表面に露出させ、インキパン表面の最終仕上げとした。
【0031】
また、印刷条件として以下のようにした。
・印刷用フィルム;厚さ6μmのポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルム
・使用インキ;第1印刷部は色相イエローの溶剤系染料インキ、第2印刷部は色相マゼンタの溶剤系染料インキ、第3印刷部は色相シアンの溶剤系染料インキ
・各乾燥部内における雰囲気温度;150℃
・乾燥風量;20m/min
・乾燥時間;1.5秒(各乾燥部のフィルム通過時間)
以上の熱風乾燥方式を使用した。
・印刷速度;150m/分
【0032】
上記条件にて、3000mを連続印刷したところ、印刷用フィルム、接触ロール等に大きな静電気は発生せず、印刷面に異物が付着せず、またフィルムとロールとの剥離帯電によるスパークの発生も無く、さらに印刷したインキがインキ印刷面と接触するロールに転移したりすることなく、印刷物の品質は良好であった。また、印刷の作業環境も安全であった。さらに、印刷終了後、インキパンのインキ廃棄、インキ洗浄において、インキがインキパンの表面からはじきやすく、インキの拭き取りが簡単に行うことができ、短時間でインキパンの清掃を完了できた。
【0033】
(比較例1)
上記の実施例1の印刷装置に印刷条件において、乾燥部における全てのガイドロール及びクーリングロールは、ロール形状を維持させるために鉄を主体とした導電性金属から構成され、実施例1に示すような表面処理を全く行わなかった。また、インキパンはステンレスで構成し、実施例1に示すような表面処理は全く施さなかった。その他の条件は実施例1と同様にして、3000mを連続印刷したところ、印刷用フィルムと接触ロール、特に乾燥部におけるガイドロールの箇所で、静電気が発生し、また印刷面に異物が付着し、さらにその静電気によるスパークが発生した。
【0034】
また、クーリングロールの部分で、印刷したインキがロール表面に転移し、またそのロール表面からインキがフィルム面に再転移し、印刷面が粗面となり、印刷品質は実施例1と比べ、非常に劣化していた。さらに、印刷終了後、インキパンのインキ廃棄、インキ洗浄において、インキがインキパンの表面からはじきにくく、インキの拭き取りに手間がかかり、インキパンの清掃に時間がかかり、作業性の非常に悪いものであった。
【0035】
以上本発明について実施例を挙げて説明を行ったが、本発明はこの実施例にのみ限定されるものではなく、本発明の主旨、技術思想において行われる全ての変形例も本発明に含まれることはいうまでもない。
また、本発明では印刷装置用部材の表面に金属類を溶射して、金属粒子を表面に付着させる表面処理について説明してきたが、溶射による表面処理をサンドブラストあるいは、微細カッティング加工等の方法に置き換え、耐磨耗性を犠牲にして、鉄、ステンレス、アルミ、CFRPを主体とした導電性金属からなる印刷装置用部材表面を直接、研磨、切削等して表面を粗くして、凹凸形状にして、その表面の凸部の一部が突出し、露出するように、その凹凸面にフッ素系樹脂またはシリコーン樹脂を被覆させる方法も、本発明で適用することができる。この方法は、溶射する高価な超硬金属類を使用せず、印刷装置用部材の表面を直接に研磨、切削等して表面処理するために、印刷装置でその部材を使用する際に、耐磨耗性は超硬金属類に比べ、低下するが、低コストで製作できる利点がある。

[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a member for a printing apparatus, a surface treatment method thereof, and a printing apparatus using the member according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a partially enlarged schematic view showing one embodiment of a member for a printing apparatus according to the present invention. The illustrated printing apparatus member 1 is a guide roll, and is made of a conductive metal mainly composed of iron in order to maintain the roll shape, and tungsten carbide (tungsten carbide) is sprayed on the iron member surface 4. As a result, it becomes granular 2 and adheres to the member surface 4. The sprayed surface is coated with a fluorine-based resin, and as shown in the drawing, a part of the sprayed metal particles 2 is partially protruded from the surface of the fluorine-based resin 3 covering the member surface 4. It is exposed to. In order to achieve such a state, the fluororesin is formed on the member surface 4 so as to be thick enough to completely cover the metal particles 2 and then the coated surface of the fluororesin is polished as shown in the figure. It was made.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, there is a polishing method as described above for protruding a part of the metal from the surface of the resin to be coated. However, the present invention is not limited to this method. The thickness of the resin layer to be coated may be adjusted to such an extent that a portion of the sprayed metal is exposed to the surface with a fluorine-based resin or a silicone resin on the surface provided.
[0011]
FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged schematic view showing another embodiment of the printing apparatus member according to the present invention. The illustrated printing apparatus member 1 is an ink pan for storing liquid ink, is made of a conductive metal mainly composed of stainless steel in order to maintain the shape of the ink pan, and has a tungsten carbide surface on the stainless member surface 4. (Tungsten carbide) is sprayed to form particles 2 and adhere to the member surface 4. The sprayed metal particles are sprayed in such a state that the sprayed surface and the stainless steel member surface 4 are coated with a fluorine-based resin, and as shown in the figure, slightly protrude from the surface of the fluorine-based resin 3 covering the member surface 4. Part 2 is exposed on the surface. In order to achieve such a state, the fluororesin is formed on the member surface 4 so as to be thick enough to completely cover the metal particles 2 and then the coated surface of the fluororesin is polished as shown in the figure. It was made.
[0012]
(Metals sprayed)
Metals sprayed on the surface of a printing apparatus member made of a conductive metal mainly composed of iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and CFRP will be described.
First, the thermal spraying method will be described. This is a method in which metals as materials are melted at a high temperature, and the resulting fine particles are sprayed on the surface of the material as if spraying. The above-mentioned high temperature differs depending on the material and method used, but is 2273 to 10273K. The droplet used is rapidly cooled when it reaches the material, and the temperature of the material is kept at 573K or lower.
Therefore, according to the thermal spraying method, there is an advantage that the processing speed is high and the processing can be performed by a dry process.
[0013]
By this thermal spraying method, the metal adhered in a granular form on the surface of the printing device member is, for example, a conductive material for reducing the peeling charge when the printing film and the roll come into contact with each other and are separated. A material that sufficiently satisfies the requirements such as abrasion resistance in contact between the film and the roll is required. In the present invention, the above-mentioned requirements can be satisfied by selecting a metal compound of a tungsten compound, a molybdenum compound, a chromium compound, an alloy containing the same, or a cemented metal such as a cermet as the metal. . The cermet is a composite material obtained by compression molding and sintering a ceramic powder and a metal powder.
The above-mentioned metal sprayed is formed on the surface of the printing device member with a thickness of several tens μm to several hundred μm, and a plurality of metal particles are stacked on the member surface as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Formed in a state.
[0014]
(Coating resin)
The above metal compound or an alloy containing the metal compound is sprayed on a surface of a member for a printing apparatus made of a conductive metal mainly composed of iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and CFRP, and the sprayed surface is coated with a fluorine-based resin or a silicone resin. Is coated. However, some of the sprayed metals are exposed on the surface of the printing apparatus member. In the member for a printing apparatus used in the present invention, for those which come into direct contact with the ink such as an ink pan and a cooling roll, it is preferable to use a fluorine-based resin having excellent solvent resistance as a resin for coating the surface thereof.
Examples of the fluororesin that coats the surface of the printing apparatus member include, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), perfluoroethylene-perfluoroalkylvinyl ether copolymer (PFA), and tetrafluoroethylene. Ethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (FEP), tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (PFEP), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (PETFE), ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (PECTFE) , Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) and the like.
[0015]
Further, it is desirable that the silicone resin as the coating resin is applied to a member for a printing apparatus used in a place where the coating resin does not directly contact the ink. The silicone resin is a silicone rubber bonded by a siloxane bond containing dimethyl silicone, fluorosilicone, methylphenyl silicone, etc., and the liquid type is a condensation reaction or an addition reaction, and the millable type is a radical reaction. Alternatively, it is produced using a partial addition reaction. As the silicone resin, for example, KR261, KR271, KR272, KR275, KR280, KR282, KR285, KR251, KR155, KR220, KR201, KR204, KR205, KR206, SA4, ES1001, ES1001N, manufactured by Shin-Etsu Silicone Co., Ltd. ES1002T, KR3093, SR2100, SR2101, SR2107, SR2110, SR2108, SR2109, SR2115, SR2400, SR2410, SR2411, SH805, SH806A, SH840 manufactured by Toray Silicone Co., Ltd. are used.
[0016]
Examples of the method of providing the coating resin on the surface of the member for a printing apparatus include, for example, electrostatically coating resin powder and baking it at about 380 ° C., injection molding, extrusion molding, powder coating, and the like. Is mentioned. The thickness of the coating resin is several μm to several thousand μm, and when the formed film is polished later, it is formed relatively large so as to cover the sprayed metals. Further, without using a polishing method, the thickness of the resin layer to be coated is adjusted to such an extent that a portion of the sprayed metal is exposed to the surface with a fluorine resin or a silicone resin on the sprayed surface of the metal. In such a case, the metal particles are formed relatively small so that a part of the metal particles already formed by thermal spraying are exposed on the surface.
[0017]
(Surface treatment method for printing device members)
The surface treatment method for a member for a printing apparatus of the present invention is roughly classified into two methods. One is to spray a metal compound of tungsten compound, molybdenum compound, chromium compound, an alloy or cermet containing it on the surface of a printing device member made of conductive metal mainly composed of iron, stainless steel, aluminum, CFRP. And a surface treatment method of coating the sprayed surface with a fluorine-based resin or a silicone resin to such an extent that a portion of the sprayed metal is exposed to the surface.
Another surface treatment method for a member for a printing apparatus is a method for treating a surface of a member for a printing apparatus made of a conductive metal mainly composed of iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and CFRP. A metal compound, an alloy or a cermet containing the metal compound is sprayed, the sprayed surface is coated with a fluororesin or a silicone resin, and the coated surface of the resin is polished to form one of the sprayed metals. This is a method of exposing the part to the surface.
[0018]
In the former, there is no step of polishing the resin-coated surface, and a part of the sprayed metal is exposed on the surface by controlling the film thickness of the fluororesin or silicone resin coating resin.
Further, the latter forms a fluorine-based resin or a silicone resin on the surface of the printing apparatus member on which the metal is sprayed relatively coarsely enough to cover the sprayed metal, and thereafter forms the resin. The coated surface is polished to expose a part of the sprayed metals to the surface.
[0019]
As a method of polishing the resin-coated surface, a conventionally known method such as buff polishing, grinder polishing, and grindstone polishing can be used. In addition, in the case of a printing apparatus member such as an ink pan, the outer shape of which is not as simple as a cylinder, but has irregularities or an outer shape having sharp corners. The surface treatment of the resin-coated surface can be performed by a method of cleaning the surface. Therefore, polishing the resin-coated surface in the present invention means not only the above-described polishing method but also a method of cleaning the surface using a solution that dissolves the coated resin.
In the above-described surface treatment of a member for a printing apparatus, the state in which metals protrude and are exposed from the surface of the resin to be coated is such that the height of the metal protrudes from the surface of the coated resin and is exposed is several μm to several hundred μm. It is.
[0020]
(Printing device members)
The printing apparatus member treated by the surface treatment method described above is, as a specific member, an ink pan that supplies liquid ink, a member that is in direct contact with liquid ink such as an ink tank, or an ink printed in a printing unit. Examples include a guide roll in a drying section to be dried, a cooling roll immediately after the drying section, and a transport roll at a location where peeling electrification easily occurs upon contact with a printing film.
Also, in a printing apparatus member as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plurality of particles of metal sprayed on the surface of the member are stacked, but the metal particles located on the outermost surface are used for printing. Even if it is worn due to contact or friction with a film, etc., the fluororesin or silicone resin coating resin that secures the metal particles and the surface of the printing device member around the metal particles also wears, and When compared to the metal particles and the coating resin, the coating resin is easier to wear than the metal particles, so the surface of the member exposes some of the sprayed metals from the surface of the coating resin and protrudes from the first use. This is a state similar to the state before the operation (the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2), and the life of the printing apparatus member can be extended.
[0021]
At this time, for example, one of the metal particles projected and exposed on the surface of the member is worn together with the surrounding coating resin, and even if one unit of the metal particles disappears, another metal particle located thereunder is removed. A part of the metal member sprayed from the surface of the coating resin is exposed to the surface, and part of the metal sprayed from the surface of the coating resin is exposed to the surface, so that the original characteristics of the printing apparatus member of the present invention can be utilized.
[0022]
When used as a transport roll for a printing film in a member for a printing apparatus, the roll surface is sprayed from the coating resin by setting the surface roughness of the roll to about 5 to 18 μm with a center line average roughness specified in JIS B0601. A part of the applied metals is exposed and protruded from the surface, and a transport roll excellent in conductivity and releasability can be obtained. Further, in a printing apparatus member such as a transport roll and an ink pan, the surface electric resistance value of the member surface is set at 10 to provide excellent conductivity and antistatic property. Thirteen It is preferable to use a level of Ω or less.
[0023]
(Printing device)
The printing apparatus of the present invention uses the printing apparatus member described above as a roll and / or an ink pan for storing ink when the printing film is conveyed, and supplies the film raw material. A paper feeding section, a cylindrical intaglio type gravure plate cylinder, a printing section having an ink pan for supplying liquid ink, a drying section for drying the printed ink, and a paper discharging section. It is a web rotary printing apparatus configured.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing one embodiment of the printing apparatus of the present invention.
The illustrated printing apparatus 5 includes a take-up / feed unit 6 for supplying a raw film, a printing unit 7 having a cylindrical intaglio-type gravure plate cylinder, and an ink pan for supplying liquid ink, and the printed ink. This is a web rotary type gravure printing apparatus including three units each including a drying unit 8 for drying and a discharge unit 9 for discharging and winding the film after printing.
[0024]
An original film obtained by winding the printing film 13 in a roll shape rotates in the direction of an arrow from the winding sheet feeding unit 6, and the printing film is transported to the first printing unit 7. In the printing unit 7, the ink 14 is supplied to the cylindrical intaglio type gravure plate cylinder 15 from the ink pan 12 in which the liquid ink 14 is stored, the amount of ink is adjusted by a doctor, and the ink of the gravure plate cylinder 15 is discharged. The printing is transferred to the printing film 13 by the pressure of the plate cylinder 15 and the impression cylinder 16. The printed film 13 passes between a number of guide rolls 10 in the drying unit 8 to dry the ink.
[0025]
In the film 13 printed in the first printing unit 7, the ink printed in the drying unit 8 is dried, and the film printing surface and the roll 11 are directly contacted by the cooling roll 11 to cool the film 13. You. Then, after that, the film 13 is moved by the transport roll, transported to the second printing unit 7, and the same process as printing and drying in the first printing unit 7 is performed, and then to the third printing unit 7. The film 13 is conveyed, and the printing and drying steps are similarly performed in the third printing unit 7. Then, the film 13 printed and dried in the third printing unit 7 is wound up in a roll shape in the paper discharging unit 9 and printing is completed.
[0026]
In the printing apparatus, as the film 13 to be printed, the same substrate as that used for the conventional printing film can be used as it is, and the surface of the substrate has been subjected to an easy adhesion treatment. And others can be used, and there is no particular limitation. Specific examples of preferred substrates include, for example, polyethylene terephthalate and other polyesters, polycarbonates, polyamides, polyimides, cellulose acetate, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, fluoroplastics, polypropylene, polyethylene, and plastic films such as ionomers. And papers such as glassine paper, condenser paper and paraffin paper, cellophane and the like, and also a composite film obtained by laminating two or more of these. The thickness of these films is appropriately changed depending on the material so that the strength and heat resistance are appropriate, but usually, the thickness is preferably about 2 to 100 μm.
[0027]
As the liquid ink to be printed in the printing unit, those conventionally used in gravure printing are used. The ink is composed of a coloring agent for pigments and dyes, resins, solvents, and additives.
In the drying section of the printing device, a drying method using a heating drum using steam or electricity, a drying method using an infrared lamp, a far-infrared tube heater, a drying method using hot air using a heat exchanger such as steam, electricity, gas, or oil heating, etc. Can be applied.
[0028]
In the printing apparatus of the present invention, since the printing apparatus members such as transport rolls having excellent antistatic properties and releasability from ink are used, the printing quality deteriorates the printing quality from a low speed to a particularly high speed. In addition, the printing work environment is safe. The printing speed can be applied, for example, to a range of about 10 to 500 mm / min.
However, the higher the printing speed, the higher the temperature setting in the drying section, and the ambient temperature in the drying section is about 50 to 400 ° C.
[0029]
【Example】
Next, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples.
(Example 1)
A web rotary type three-color gravure printing apparatus as shown in FIG. 3 was used. However, all guide rolls 10 and cooling rolls 11 in the drying unit 8 of the printing apparatus are made of a conductive metal mainly composed of iron in order to maintain the roll shape, and tungsten carbide is formed on the surface of the iron member. It is sprayed, granulated, and adheres to the member surface (the formation of metal particles as shown in FIG. 1). The sprayed portion was formed with an average thickness of 50 μm. A film is formed on the sprayed surface with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin to a thickness of 70 μm, and the resin is coated so as to cover almost all the metal particles. Thereafter, the coated surface of the resin was buffed to expose a portion of the sprayed metals to the surface as shown in FIG.
[0030]
The ink pan in each printing section is made of stainless steel, and on the surface on which gravure ink is stored, tungsten carbide is sprayed on the surface as shown in FIG. I let it. The sprayed portion was formed with an average thickness of 10 μm. On the sprayed surface, a film of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was formed with an average thickness of 8 μm, and as shown in FIG. To finish the ink pan surface.
[0031]
The printing conditions were as follows.
・ Printing film: polyethylene terephthalate film with a thickness of 6 μm
-Ink used: The first printing part is a solvent dye ink of hue yellow, the second printing part is a solvent dye ink of hue magenta, and the third printing part is a solvent dye ink of hue cyan.
・ Ambient temperature in each drying section; 150 ° C
・ Dry air volume: 20m / min
-Drying time: 1.5 seconds (film passing time in each drying section)
The hot air drying method described above was used.
・ Printing speed: 150m / min
[0032]
Under the above conditions, 3000m was continuously printed, no large static electricity was generated on the printing film, contact roll, etc., no foreign matter was attached to the printing surface, and no spark was generated due to peeling charge between the film and the roll. Further, the quality of the printed matter was good without the printed ink being transferred to a roll in contact with the ink printing surface. The printing work environment was also safe. Furthermore, after the printing was completed, the ink was easily repelled from the surface of the ink pan in the disposal and cleaning of the ink in the ink pan, the ink was easily wiped off, and the cleaning of the ink pan was completed in a short time.
[0033]
(Comparative Example 1)
Under the printing conditions of the printing apparatus of the first embodiment, all the guide rolls and the cooling rolls in the drying unit are made of a conductive metal mainly composed of iron in order to maintain the roll shape, as shown in the first embodiment. No surface treatment was performed at all. The ink pan was made of stainless steel and was not subjected to any surface treatment as shown in Example 1. Other conditions were the same as in Example 1, when 3000 m was continuously printed, static electricity was generated at the printing film and the contact roll, particularly at the location of the guide roll in the drying section, and foreign matter adhered to the printing surface, In addition, sparks were generated due to the static electricity.
[0034]
Further, at the cooling roll portion, the printed ink was transferred to the roll surface, and the ink was transferred again to the film surface from the roll surface, and the printing surface became rough. Had deteriorated. In addition, after printing, the ink is difficult to repel from the surface of the ink pan in the disposal and cleaning of the ink in the ink pan, it takes time to wipe off the ink, it takes time to clean the ink pan, and the workability is extremely poor. .
[0035]
The present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and all modifications made in the spirit and technical idea of the present invention are also included in the present invention. Needless to say.
Further, in the present invention, the surface treatment for spraying metals onto the surface of the printing apparatus member and attaching metal particles to the surface has been described. However, the surface treatment by spraying is replaced with a method such as sandblasting or fine cutting. At the expense of abrasion resistance, the surface of a printing device member made of a conductive metal mainly composed of iron, stainless steel, aluminum, and CFRP is directly polished, cut, etc. to roughen the surface to form an uneven shape. A method of coating the uneven surface with a fluorine resin or a silicone resin so that a part of the convex portion on the surface protrudes and is exposed can also be applied in the present invention. This method does not use expensive hard metal to be sprayed, but directly grinds and cuts the surface of the member for the printing apparatus, and uses the member in the printing apparatus. Abrasion resistance is lower than that of cemented carbide, but there is an advantage that it can be manufactured at low cost.
[0036]
