Description

  The present invention relates to a rotary printing press, and more particularly to a control method in a rotary printing press.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a technique for synchronizing the mutual phases of mechanical axes that are rotationally driven by a plurality of motors in a rotary printing press is known. The apparatus shown in FIG. 4 is one of them.
The schematic function will be described with reference to FIG. 4 taking a rotary printing press as an example. First, the origins of the printing presses 1, 2, 3, and the mechanical axes 1e, 2e, 3e, 4e of the folding machine 4 are aligned. (See Patent Document 1)

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the origin is aligned by the following procedure.
(1) When the printing operation is started, first, the motors 11, 12, 13, and 14 of the printing machines 1, 2, 3, and the folding machine 4 are operated at a low speed. That is, a constant low speed signal is output from the overall control device 70 to each of the control devices 61, 62, 63, 64, and each of the control devices 61, 62, 63, 64 outputs each motor 11, 12, 13, and 14 are controlled to rotate at a constant low speed.

  (2) The proximity switches 21, 22, 23, 24 and rotary encoders 31, 32, 33, 34 detect the origins of the machine axes 1e, 2e, 3e, 4e of the printing machines 1, 2, 3, and the folding machine 4. Then, in the control devices 61, 62, 63, 64 of the printing presses 1, 2, 3, and the folding machine 4, the phases of the mechanical axes 1e, 2e, 3e, 4e are predetermined phases (register positions) with respect to the reference phase. The motors 11, 12, 13, and 14 are accelerated / decelerated so that the phase is advanced or delayed.

  That is, the phases of the machine axes 1e, 2e, 3e, and 4e of the printing presses 1, 2, and 3 and the folding machine 4 with respect to the phase of the reference pulse (made by the oscillator) output from the overall control device 70, respectively. The motors 11, 12, 13, and 14 that are rotating at a low speed are temporarily accelerated and decelerated so as to reach a predetermined phase (register position). When it is confirmed that all the printing presses 1, 2, 3 and the folding machine 4 are synchronously operated at the register position, the speed command value output from the overall control device 70 to the control devices 61, 62, 63, 64. And the motors 11, 12, 13, and 14 are accelerated to a predetermined printing speed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the origin adjustment can be performed during the gentle acceleration of the motors 11, 12, 13, 14, not during the constant speed operation. That is, the origin is adjusted by the following procedure.
(1) When the printing operation is started, first, the motors 11, 12, 13, and 14 of the printing machines 1, 2, 3, and the folding machine 4 are accelerated at a moderate acceleration rate. That is, a speed command for accelerating at a gradual acceleration rate is output from the overall control device 70 to each of the control devices 61, 62, 63, 64, and each of the control devices 61, 62, 63, 64 is based on this command. The motors 11, 12, 13, and 14 are controlled to accelerate at a moderate acceleration rate.

  (2) The proximity switches 21, 22, 23, 24 and rotary encoders 31, 32, 33, 34 detect the origins of the machine axes 1e, 2e, 3e, 4e of the printing machines 1, 2, 3, and the folding machine 4. Then, the motors 11, 12, 13, and 14 are accelerated and decelerated so that the phases of these mechanical axes are advanced or delayed as in the case of low speed operation.

(3) When it is confirmed that all the printing machines 1, 2, 3 and the folding machine 4 are operating synchronously at the register position, the speed command output from the overall control device 70 to the control devices 61, 62, 63, 64 The acceleration rate of the value is made steep, and the motors 11, 12, 13, and 14 are accelerated to a predetermined printing speed according to this acceleration rate.
As described above, the conventional synchronous control device operates and does not require the rotary printing press to be stopped during the origin adjustment period.

However, the conventional apparatus has the following problems.
In other words, during phase alignment, the rotary printing press must be operated at a constant speed at a low speed or moderately accelerated, and after phase alignment is completed, switching to increase the machine acceleration to normal operation acceleration. is required.
As a result, the operation mode becomes complicated, which may cause fluctuations in the web tension, and the productivity is not reduced during the phase adjustment and the period until switching to normal operation speed. .

  Even if the speed is low, the phase of the folding machine is adjusted during operation, so depending on the origin of the folding machine, if the folding machine is accelerated, the printing paper will be pulled abnormally, and the needle hole May break and accumulate waste paper in the folder. Conversely, when the speed is reduced, a paper jam may occur.

In addition, when performing position synchronization during low-speed operation, the printing cylinder automatically corrects and rotates at the start of operation and the number of rotations varies, so the rotation speed of the printing cylinder is unexpected, especially for operators who are cleaning the plate cylinder. Is dangerous.
Further, when noise is mixed in the rotary encoder or a line from the rotary encoder, the noise is also counted as a position pulse signal, so that it becomes a position error as it is.
Further, a proximity switch or the like serving as a position reference is required for each printing machine and folding machine.

Further, in the rotary printing machine according to the present invention, the control device, after synchronizing the respective motor performs control to decelerate the increase, characterized in that to bodice.

Further, a rotary printing press according to the present invention includes a plurality of printing machines, a folding machine, a plurality of motors that drive each of the printing machine and the folding machine, and a control device that controls the plurality of motors. In the rotary printing press provided, the control device includes a master station that generates virtual master axis data by calculating on the basis of information on the position of the folding machine before the start of operation of the rotary printing press. Axis data is sent to the folding machine and printing machine, and before the printing machine is installed, the rotation speed of the motor of the folding machine is accelerated at a constant rate based on the virtual master axis data generated by the master station. And changing the rotational speed of each of the plurality of printing presses based on the virtual master axis data generated by the master station, so that the phases of the motors of the plurality of printing presses and the phases of the motors of the folding presses are changed.

A master station that calculates virtual master axis data by calculating on the basis of position information, sends the virtual master axis data to the folding machine and the printing machine, and before the printing machine is installed, the motor of the folding machine The rotation speed of the printer is accelerated at a constant rate based on the virtual master axis data generated by the master station, and the phases of the motors of the plurality of printing presses detected by the encoder and the master station Based on the phase difference with the generated virtual master axis data, the rotational speeds of the motors of the plurality of printing presses are varied, and the phases of the motors of the plurality of printing presses and the phases of the motors of the folding machine are changed to the virtual Control according to the master axis data is performed, and after the printing machine is mounted, synchronous operation control of the motor of the folding machine and the motor of the printing machine is continuously performed based on the virtual master axis data.

  According to the present invention, in the case of the conventional method of performing phase matching of the folding machine after the rotary printing press is started, the web motor fed at a constant speed is used for phase matching by the folding machine motor. When the speed is increased, an abnormal pulling force is generated. Finally, the needle hole may be broken and the waste paper may accumulate, or the web paper may break.On the other hand, if the speed is reduced, the web paper may sag, Although clogging may occur, such a problem does not occur because the position of the printing press motor is first controlled based on the position of the folding motor.

  The plurality of motors may include a driver for controlling the motor, and more specifically, a parallel speed that is the same speed as the acceleration rate during a portion where the offset speed increases / decreases with respect to the acceleration rate. The speed setting is also effective means of the present invention.

According to such technical means, the driver for driving the motor is provided with a function for changing the acceleration rate and offset speed of the motor during synchronous operation, so that an optimal motor increase / decrease speed can always be obtained and required for synchronous control. The time was shortened. For this reason, phase adjustment can be performed in a short time even during sudden acceleration such as normal operation, and synchronous operation can be completed during normal operation with a high acceleration rate. Improvement is expected.
Further, since there is no switching from the synchronous operation to the normal operation, the apparatus is correspondingly simplified, and the web tension fluctuation factor generated at that time is eliminated.

  As described above in detail, according to the present invention, the position data at the time of stopping the motor on the folding machine side is obtained during acceleration to the normal operation after the plurality of motors are synchronously controlled and operated slowly. Since the position control of the motor of each printing press is performed as a reference, the position control of the motor of each printing press is performed during acceleration to normal operation without performing the position control of the folding machine motor serving as a reference. The time required for the position control of the reference motor as in the technology is not required, and since it is not switched to the normal speed after the position synchronization, the time to reach the normal operation speed is shortened and the productivity is improved.

Therefore, the folding machine motor does not generate an abnormal pulling force due to the speed increase for phase alignment on the web paper fed at a constant speed, and the web paper breaks. Or paper jams.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the dimensions, materials, shapes, relative arrangements, and the like of the components described in this embodiment are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention unless otherwise specified, but are merely illustrative examples. Not too much.
[First Embodiment]

FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a rotary printing machine equipped with a synchronous control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 mainly illustrates functions related to phase alignment of the control apparatus. It is explanatory drawing.
1st Embodiment of this invention is described based on FIG. 1 and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, each printing machine 1a, 1b, 1c, folding machine 1d includes a drive motor 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, infeed IFa, IFb, IFc motor 2f, 2g, 2h, RTFDRa motor. 2i, drag DRb motor 2j absolute type rotary coupled to drivers 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3f, 3g, 3h, 3i, 3j, each motor for printing and folding machines Encoders 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d, and printing presses and folding machine master stations 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d that perform control such as phase matching and the like individually corresponding to each printing press and folding machine. These are connected by an optical double link 6.

  Among the above master stations, the folding machine master station 5d generates reference data (hereinafter referred to as virtual master axis data) by calculation based on the folding machine data in accordance with the operation instruction of the rotary printing press. With the function to send the virtual master axis data to the master station, the function to send the control command signal to the motor driver for folding machine, the motor driver for RTF, the drag motor driver, and the sequence control interface function with the connected sequencer Yes.

  On the other hand, the master station 5 (a to c) corresponding to each printing machine has a function of transferring virtual master axis data sent from the master station 5d of the folding machine via the optical double link 6, and a motor for the printing machine. It has a function to send a control command signal to the driver and a sequence control interface function with a connected sequencer.

  The printer driver and the folder driver are respectively supplied from the control command signal from the corresponding master station, and from the absolute type rotary encoder 4 (ad) connected to the machine axis of the printer and the folder. These signals are compared, and control to increase or decrease the speed of the motor is performed. At this time, the acceleration rate and offset speed of the motor can be set in advance by each driver.

  The infeed drivers 3f, 3g, and 3h, the drag driver 3j, and the RTF driver 3i are connected to the speed control command signals from the corresponding master stations and the infeed, drag, and RTF mechanical axes. A signal from the incremental type rotary encoder (not shown) is compared to control the motor speed to the command value.

Next, an outline of the control program of the present apparatus configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 3, the vertical axis represents the machine speed, the horizontal axis represents time t, and the motor control line is connected to L1 where the slow operation is performed from time t1, L2 which is the acceleration region, and L3 which is the steady operation region. Has been.
The drive motors of the printing press, infeed, drag, and RTF are all virtual masters generated with reference to the folding machine motor shaft position of the folding machine motor 2d that is captured in the position memory of the folding machine master station 5d. Based on axis data.
First, while the rotary printing press is started and the slow running operation is being performed, the printing press motor does not yet perform phase matching and performs speed control at a constant speed.

From the slow operation region L1 in which the printing press motor rotates in synchronization with the speed, the position control is switched when the normal operation acceleration region L2 is entered, and the speed of each printing press motor is set to the printing speed (synchronous speed). Start phase alignment by accelerating or decelerating.
The wearing time after completion of phase alignment is the same as in the prior art, but phase alignment is always completed before that. And although it reaches steady operation, position control is performed continuously after that.

The folding motor performs position control from start to finish based on the virtual master axis data.
The infeed, drag, and RTF motors also perform speed control from start to finish based on virtual master axis data.
In the printing preparation stage such as maintenance, paper threading, ink and blanket cleaning, the operation is performed by a separate fixed speed command device separated from the master station 5.

In the synchronous control device according to the present embodiment, the position control and the speed control are performed as described above. More specifically, the position control and the speed control are performed in the following procedure.
(1) Before starting the operation of the rotary printing press including the slow operation, information on the current position of the folding machine is input to the virtual master axis data of the master station 5d of the folding machine.
The master station 5d starts calculation based on the position. As a result, it is not necessary to perform the phase adjustment of the folding motor when the rotary printing press is started up, so that the occurrence of problems due to the speed difference of the web paper is prevented.
That is, before starting the operation of the rotary printing press, a signal from the absolute type rotary encoder 4d indicating the current phase before the start of the operation of the folding machine is input to the virtual master axis data storage unit of the master station 5d of the folding machine. The virtual master axis data storage section stores the value as a reference for calculation when the rotary printing press is started and the printing press or the folding machine is operated synchronously.

  In the case of a conventional method in which the rotary machine is phased after the rotary printing press is started, the web is controlled at a constant speed by infeed IFa, IFb, IFc, RTFDRa, and drag DRb. When the motor of the folding machine is accelerated for phase matching, the paper generates an abnormal pulling force, and eventually breaks the needle hole and accumulates damaged paper, or the web paper may break. Conversely, if the speed is reduced, the web paper may sag and may cause a paper jam. In the present embodiment, since the position of the printing press motor is first controlled based on the position of the folder motor, such a problem does not occur.

  (2) When the slow motion operation of the rotary printing press is started, each motor 2 (ac) of each press 1 (ac) shown in FIG. 1 is a virtual machine generated by the master station 5d of the folding machine. The master axis data is converted into a control signal by each master station 5 (ac) and output to the driver 3 (ac) of each motor, and is operated by speed synchronous control as shown in FIG. That is, at this stage, position control for adjusting the phase is not yet performed.

This prevents the risk that the corrective operation status will vary due to the phase alignment of the machine axes of the printing presses having different initial positions.
For example, in a printing press that is manually operated when the machine is stopped, the mechanical axis of each printing press is stopped at an arbitrary position. That is, the mechanical axes of the printing presses are out of phase. If it is operated in a position-synchronized manner from the start of the slow-motion operation, the machine shafts of the respective printing presses are to be aligned from that position, so that the state of motor rotation varies among the printing presses. In the slow operation, the operator may manually clean the plate cylinder surface. However, since the operator cannot predict the rotation unevenness, if the rotation speed is changed, the operability is deteriorated and there is a danger.

In the present embodiment, since the speed-synchronized operation is performed during the slow-motion operation, all the motors start and operate at the same speed as the slow-motion operation is started, so that the operability and safety are not impaired.
During this time, the motor 2d of the folding machine 1d continues the position synchronization control based on the virtual master axis data. The in-feed motors 2f, 2g, 2h, the RTF motor 21, and the drag motor 2j are subjected to speed synchronization control based on virtual master axis data simultaneously with the start of the slow motion operation of the rotary printing press.

(3) When acceleration for the printing operation of the rotary printing press is started, in the acceleration region L2 of FIG. 3, the motor 2 (ac) of each printing press 1 (ac) shown in FIG. Position synchronization control is started while accelerating the 1d motor 2d at the normal operation acceleration rate as shown in FIG.
That is, the master station 5 (ac) corresponding to each printing machine that has received the virtual master axis data from the master station 5d of the folding machine converts the data and sends it to the motor drivers 3a, 3b, 3c for normal operation. A motor rotation command signal is issued so as to accelerate at a rate of. Further, the master station 5d of the folding machine issues a motor rotation command signal to the driver 3d so as to accelerate at the normal operation rate.

The driver 3 (ac) of each printing machine receives the rotation received by the phase of the mechanical axis of each printing machine 1 (ac) detected by the absolute rotary encoder 4 (ac) at that time. The motor 2 (ac) is accelerated or decelerated so that each phase of the mechanical axis is advanced or delayed so as to be in phase with the command signal, that is, the signal that matches the phase of the folding machine. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the driver 3 (ac) of each printing press has the same speed as that of the folding machine while the offset speed increases / decreases with respect to the folding machine. Speed is set to parallel speed.
The infeed motors 2f, 2g, 2h, the RTF motor 21 and the drag motor 2j perform speed control based on virtual master axis data regardless of the printing operation state of the rotary printing press as shown in FIG.

  After the motors 2 (ac) and 2d of all the printing presses 1 (ac) and the folding machine 1d are synchronized, the acceleration is continued as it is, and the printing press 1 (a The printing cylinder of -c) is put on (printed state), and further accelerated, and is operated at a constant speed (L3) at a predetermined printing speed.

In this embodiment, the rotary encoders 4 (ad) coupled to the respective motors 2 (ad) of the printing apparatuses 1 (ac) and the folding machine 1d shown in FIG. Since the absolute type is adopted, the origin position of each motor is detected, the motor is rotated like an incremental type, and the phase is calculated by calculating the number of pulses once passing through the proximity sensor as the reference position. There is no need, and the phase can be obtained while the motor is stationary. That is, since an absolute type rotary encoder is used, the rotation of the motor for obtaining the phase of each motor is not required in principle.
Therefore, time for finding the origin is unnecessary, and the time required for synchronous control can be shortened.

In the present embodiment, the driver 3 (ad) that drives the motor is provided with a function of making the acceleration rate and offset speed of the motor variable during synchronous operation. Thus, the time required for synchronous control can be shortened. For this reason, it is possible to execute phase alignment in a short time even at a rapid rate of acceleration such as normal operation. As a result, the synchronous operation can be completed during the normal operation with a high acceleration rate, and an improvement in productivity can be expected.
Further, since there is no switching from the synchronous operation to the normal operation, the apparatus is correspondingly simplified, and there is no web tension fluctuation factor generated at that time.

In addition, by using the absolute type rotary encoder 4 (a to d), even if the rotary encoder is powered down temporarily, the origin position is not unclear as in the conventional incremental type. Even when noise is mixed, it is transient and is not held as a position error, that is, as a top-to-bottom register error as in the increment type.
In addition, the proximity sensor that was necessary to detect the origin position is no longer needed. As described above, the synchronization device according to the present embodiment can improve productivity, stability, safety, and reliability.
[Second Embodiment]

Next, a second embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is an overall configuration diagram of a rotary printing machine provided with the synchronous control device according to the second embodiment when the number of folding machines is two (or representative of the case of two or more).
The master station 5n corresponding to the second folding machine 1n also has the position of the virtual master based on the data of the folding machine 1n as in the master station 5d corresponding to the folding machine 1d shown in the first embodiment (FIG. 1). Data and the like are generated by calculation, and the virtual master axis data is sent to each master station.

  In the case of FIG. 2, the virtual master axis data circulates five master data as one communication frame through the optical double link at a speed of 8 milliseconds or the like, and changes data one after another. As the number of printing apparatus blocks or folding machines to be connected increases, the number of master stations increases, and a data group (communication frame) carrying the same number of master data as the number of master stations circulates as described above. At this time, the master stations 5d and 5n of the folding machine generate data as described above, but the master stations 5a, 5b, and 5c of other printing press blocks circulate as empty data because they do not generate data. The drivers under the jurisdiction of each master station, for example, the drivers 3C, 3C1 to 3C7, 3h, etc. under the jurisdiction of the master station 5c, determine which folding machine to connect to before operating the printing press. Is done. In other words, each driver 3C or the like is instructed which master data to use, and takes in the instructed data.

  Therefore, the second embodiment has the effect of being able to simultaneously control the operation of a plurality of sets of printing presses in addition to the same operations and effects as the first embodiment described above. That is, in the second embodiment, operation control can be performed with different operation patterns for each folding machine. As shown in FIG. 2, in a so-called shaftless printing machine in which a motor is provided for each printing color and is not mechanically connected as shown in FIG. There is an effect of increasing types.

  As described above in detail, the present embodiment is a printing press that is rotationally driven by a plurality of motors, and generates a control command from the data of the folding machine in the control device for matching the phases of the plurality of motors. Virtual master axis data to be distributed to each master station is introduced, and in the phase alignment operation, the printing press is driven by the command signal based on the virtual master axis data, and the speed synchronization control is printed during slow operation. It is characterized by switching to position synchronization control after the start of acceleration.

  This eliminates the need for phase alignment of the folding motor when starting up the rotary printing press, so that the tension motor has an abnormal pulling force due to the speed increase for phase alignment on the web paper fed at a constant speed. Will not occur, and the web paper will not break or become jammed.

Then, a multi-rotation type absolute encoder is adopted to detect the rotation of the motor, and the current phase of the folding machine motor is detected before starting the operation of the rotary printing press. Data is generated, speed synchronization control is performed at the start of operation of the rotary printing press, and the folder motor does not perform phase matching.
Therefore, operability and safety are not impaired.

According to the present invention, after the phase alignment is completed, there is no need to switch to increase the acceleration of the machine to the normal operation acceleration, the operation mode is simplified, the time until the operation speed is increased, and the productivity is reduced. An improved rotary printing press can be provided.
In addition, the present invention provides a rotary printing machine using a folding machine and a printing machine, in which the folding machine itself is not phase-matched during operation of the folding machine motor, thereby reducing printing paper damage by the folding machine. I can do it.
