Definitions

  • This invention is concerned with a machine of the twotable type for electromechanically producing printing plates with continuously variable reproduction scale.
  • the enlargement or reduction of the scale on the printing plate, as compared with the scale of the copy to be reproduced, is obtained either by the use of drums of difierent diameter, to be selectively used for one of the drums, and operating both drums at identical speed of rotation, or by using drums of identical diameter but rotating them at diflerent speeds.
  • the ratio of the advance steps per drum revolution and advance speeds of the scanning and engraving elements, corresponding respectively to the enlargement and reduction and the selected screen, is produced by corresponding step-up and step-down gear means.
  • Another known system uses, instead of two separate tables respectively for the copy to be reproduced and for the printing plate blank which is to be engraved according to variable reproduction scale, a single reciprocating table carrying upon one side the copy to be reproduced and upon the other side thereof the printing plate blank which is to be engraved.
  • either the scanning element or the engraving element executes relative to the reciprocating table in auxiliary motion in the respective scanning and engraving direction or else, both elements execute such auxiliary motions.
  • a further known system is of the hybrid table-drum type, in which a flexible printing plate foil is wrapped about a rotating drum, an engraving head being moved with respect thereto parallel to the drum axis, such head carrying a heated tool for engraving the foil along a helical line by burning out the screen elements.
  • the copy to be reproduced is carried by a horizontally disposed table which executes a translatory motion parallel to the drum axis.
  • the copy to be reproduced is scanned by an optical scanning device swinging forth and back about a fixed axis, in a plane perpendicular to such axis, along successive lines transverse to the drum axis.
  • the reproduction scale is changed by alteration of the ratio between the swinging amplitude of the scanning system and the constant speed of rotation of the drum, and by corresponding alteration of the ratio between the speed of translatory motion of the table carrying the copy and the invariable translatory speed of the scanning head along the drum.
  • optical means including a picturing objective, an enlarged or reduced picture image of the copy to be reproduced onto a frosted plate or screen, and such projected picture is photoelectrically scanned point by point along successive lines, thereby producing fluctuating photoelectric currents for controlling the depth of penetration of an engraving tool which engraves a printing plate of a size corresponding to the optically projected picture, point by point in successive lines.
  • the invention proposes a two-table machine employing lever mechanisms for the continuous setting of the reproduction scale and for the coupling of the similarity motion of both tables.
  • the invention avoids the previously noted drawbacks by coupling the two table motions which are in identical sense in the engraving direction and also the two oppositely directed line advance or shift motions of the scanning and engraving heads perpendicular to the table motions, by two continuously adjustable similar swing-lever mechanisms, in such a manner, that the ratios between the two table strokes and the two line advance or shift strokes as well as the ratios between the two table speeds and the two line advance or shift speeds are, independent of the selected screening and at a selected reproduction scale, constant and equal to the reproduction ratio.
  • the machine comprises a reciprocable copy table carrying the picture copy to be reproduced, a similarly reciprocable engraving table swing levers disposed for motion, forth and back, in iden- Y tical direction within a vertical plane, means for rotatably journalling the lower ends of said swing levers at structural parts of the machine, means for rotatably journalling the upper ends of said swing levers at said engraving table and the copy table, respectively, a slide for interconnecting said swing levers, said slide extending in a plane perpendicular to the planes of said tables and parallel to the planes of said swing levers, means for positively guiding said slide for forth and back motion corresponding to the reciprocating motion of said tables,
  • a double-armed horizontally extending lever for interconnecting said engraving head and said scanning head for the purpose of coupling said heads for the line advance motion thereof, means for rotatably journalling one end of said doublearmed lever at the engraving head and the other end thereof at the scanning head at respectively vertically extending axes, vertically disposed pivot means extending from a structural part of the machine for rotatably journalling said double-armed lever intermediate the opposite ends thereof, and means for selectively adjusting the position of said last named pivot means with respect to the opposite ends of said double-armed lever in ac cordance with the desired reproduction scale.
  • FIG. 1 shows in schematic manner essential parts of a machine according to the invention
  • Fig. 2 is a diagram to aid in explaining the kinematic operation of the swing-lever mechanisms.
  • numeral 1 indicates a rectangular horizon tally disposed engraving table guided in rails 2 and 3 for reciprocating motion
  • numeral 4 indicating the printing plate blank mounted on the table 1 which is to be engraved in accordance with parallel or diagonal engraving cutting.
  • Numeral 5 indicates a cylinder mounted on structural parts of the machine, containing a piston 6 connected with the piston rod 7 which is fastened to cars 8 extending from the engraving table 1.
  • the cylinder 5 is provided with two orifices 9 and 10 formed therein to which are connected hydraulic pressure lines 11 and 12 terminating in a hydraulic control device 13 for governing the feed and return of hydraulic fluid so as to eifect reciprocation of the piston 6 and therewith reciprocation of the engraving table 1.
  • the drive of the engraving table 1 may also be effected by means of a rotating spindle threadedly guided within a nut carried by the engraving table, with suitable reversing gear means for reversing the direction of rotation at the conclusion of engraving of each line.
  • the reversal of the table motion is effected by suitable control means, always when the engraving tool reaches an edge of the printing plate blank.
  • Numeral 14 in Fig. 1 indicates the rectangularly shaped horizontally disposed copy table which is guided in rails 15 and 16 for reciprocating motion in the same direction as the engraving table 1.
  • the two tables may be positioned in the same plane or in difierent parallel planes or levels. The latter arrangement of the tables in dilierent planes or levels is advantageous for reasons of saving space; the two tables may overlap incident to their mot-ions, resulting in a shortening of the machine dimensions.
  • the copy table 14 carries the copy or picture 17 which is to be reproduced.
  • swing-levers 18 and 19 which are respectively rotatably journalled upon axes 20 and pendicular to the, plane of the tables.
  • the levers At the upper ends of the levers are formed longitudinal slots respectively indicated at 22 and 23', stub shafts or pins indicated at 24 and 25, extending respectively from the engraving table and the copy table and entering the respective slots.
  • the swing levers 18 and 19 will be displaced with the corresponding slots gliding along the respective stub shafts 24 and 25.
  • the copy table 14 is in the illustrated example at a lower level than the engraving table 1, and the svw'ng-lever 19 is, accordingly, shorter than the swing-lever 18, by the level diiference.
  • the swing-lever 18 is alsopro vided with a longitudinal slot 26 and the swing-lever 19 is provided with a similar longitudinal slot Z7.
  • the two pivots 33, 34 extend respectively through the slots 26, 27 formed in the swing levers 18, 19, these slots permitting sliding of the levers along the pivots incident to angular displacement of the levers and resulting reciprocation of the slide 28, the swing-levers coincidently rotating about the pivots 3-3, 34.
  • Scales 37, 38 are provided, respectively carried by the swing levers 18, 19, upon which may be set the distance of the pivots 3-3, 34 from the axes 20, 21, in the vertical zero position of the two swing-levers, by means of the pointers 39, 40, respectively associated with the pivots 33, 34.
  • the slide 28 with its pivots 33, 34 which are adjustable slots 31, 32, constitutes a rod of variable length. Incident to reciprocating motion of the two tables, this rod always remains parallel to itself, and the vertical distances of its rotation and gliding pivots 33, 34, from the connecting line ofthe two lever axes 20', 21, remain during the reciprocation constant.
  • the horizontal paths ofthe two pivots 3-3, 34, considered from the vertical zero position of the two swing-levers, are always equal one to the other.
  • the angles of the two swing-levers measured from the vertical zero position about which they are displaced incident to the table motion, are generally speaking different.
  • the reproduction ratio is in this case not 1 to 1 since the tables 1 and 14 have different constant vertical distances from the lever axes 20, 21.
  • the reproduction ratio is not determined by the absolute amounts of the vertical spacings of the pivot 33 from the axis 20 and of the pivot 34 from the lever axis 21, but by their ratio, thus making the level setting of one of the two pivots 33, 34, for obtaining a desired reproduction ratio, arbitrary.
  • the absolute amounts of the spacing of the pivots from the respectively associated lower lever axis is in connection with the reproduction ratio 1 to l fixed by the scale marking l and 1 upon the scales 37 and 38.
  • the pivot 34 is invariably set on the right hand scale to the scale mark 1 and the pivot 33 is set on the left hand scale underneath the scale mark 1 the greatest enlargement being efiected when the pivot 33 is set to the scale mark 4.
  • the pivot 33 is set invariably on the mark 1 of the scale 37, and the pivot 34 is set to a mark underneath 1, the greatest possible reduction resulting when the pivot 34 is set opposite the scale mark 0.33.
  • the kinematic conditions incident to similarity of motion of the two tables are represented in Fig. 2 in abstract manner.
  • the constant vertical distance of the guide axis 24 from the lower iever axis 20* is assumed to be c
  • the constant vertical distance of the guide axis 25 from.- the lower lever axis 211 is assumed to be d.
  • c d that is, that the engraving table 1 moves in a level extending above the level of the copy table 14.
  • the adjustable spacing of the pivot 33 from the lever axis 20' shall be assumed to be a
  • the adjustable spacing of the pivot 34- from the lever axis 21 shall be assumed to be b.
  • a b that is, that the machine is set for enlargement of the image on the printing plate as compared with the picture copy, as contrasted with the conditions illustrated in Fig. 1 in which it is assumed that reduction of the image on the printing plate as compared with the picture copy, is to be efiected.
  • the angle of swing of the lever 18 from its vertical position shall be assumed to be on and the angle of swing of the lever 19' shall be assumed to be 3.
  • the slide 28 so far as its kinematic effect is. concerned may be considered to be substituted by a rod 28 which interconnects the pivots 33 and 34, thereby holding the spacing therebetween, at an adjusted reproduction ratio, constant.
  • the swing-levers may be journalled at 24, 25 rotatably but not shiftable, and the slots for the longitudinal equalization or compensation may be provided at the lower ends of the levers, so that the levers glide up and down with respect to the axesv 20, 21.
  • the second longitudinal compensation between the lower ends. must also be maintained in such embodiment by the provision of the slots 26, 27.
  • a third possibility for the compensation in length resides in providing slots in the opposite ends of the levers 18, 19 for sliding cooperation with the shafts or axes 24, 20 and 25, 21 incident to the swinging motion of the levers.
  • the lever 18 and the lever 19 must be arranged merely rotatable about the pivots 33 and 34, respectively, but not movable relative to the intermediate lever slots 26, 27, contrary to the arrangement illustrated in Fig. 1, wherein the longitudinal compensation or equalization must be effected along the slots 26, 27 due to the fixed journalling of the lower lever ends at 20, 21, so that the pivots 36, 34 can slide relative to the intermediate slots 26, 27, and therewith also relative to the scales 37 and 38.
  • the guide shaft extending from the copy table 14 is connected with a bushing 41 which may be clamped to the rail 43 in any adjusted position, by means of member 42.
  • This coupling-uncoupling device makes it possible to place the copy table 14 in the scanning direction in desired initial position with respect to the en graving table 1 as well as with respect to the scanning head 50 which will be presently described.
  • the couplinguncoupling device is very important, making it possible to place the scanning head prior to engraving at desired points of the picture copy so as to ascertain the brightest and the darkest points for the adjustment of the whiteblack level and, further, in order to make it possible to scan a picture copy section lying at any desired area of the picture copy.
  • the coupling-uncoupling device may be also provided in connection with the engraving table 1 to obtain similar efiects.
  • Numeral 44 indicates the engraving head containing a known electromagnetic drive system for actuating the engraving tool or stylus 45, such stylus executing during the engraving up and down motions controlled in accordance with the brightness of the picture copy.

  • the not 48 is either split midway thereof in the line shift or advance direction or is formed in the manner of a segment so as to make it possible to separate the engraving head 44 from the threaded spindle 49 for the purpose of placing it in the advance direction in alignment with a desired point on the printing plate blank 4.
  • the threaded spindle 49- is intermittently rotated so as to move the engraving head upon conclusion of the engraving of each line in a stepwise line shift or advance motion perpendicular to the engraving direction.
  • This intermittent rotation of the threaded spindle 49 may be effected by means of a rotary ball wedge clutch device generally known from free-Wheeling drives used, for example, in connection with bicycles.
  • the advantage of such a clutch drive is that it permits steadily alterable adjustment of the angle of rotation of the line advance or shift spindle 49.
  • the release of the stepwise advance motion is controlled by the reversal of the table motions,
  • a control element for example, a contact is in known manner actuated at the conclusion of the engraving of a line, efiFecting known and suitable control means for reversing the table motion, and also effecting actuation of the clutch device so as to advance the engraving head 44 and the scanning head 50 in a direction perpendicular to the line engraving motion and line scanning motion, respectively, in position for respectively scanning and engraving the next line.

  • the lever 51 has at the end facing the scanning head 50' a longitudinal slot 52 formed therein, a vertically disposed pin 53 extending from the scanning head 50 entering the slot 52. Incident to line advance motion of the scanning head 50, the lever 51 will be angular-1y displaced by the action of the pin 53 in the slot 52.
  • the opposite end of the lever 51, facing the engraving head 44, is journalled for rotation about trunnion 54 which may be clamped, by member 55, in position at any desired place along the dovetailed bar 56, such bar being disposed on the nut 48 in parallel to the line advance motion controlled by the spindle 49.
  • the corresponding coupling device comprising the members 54, 55, 56 permits placing of the scanning head in the line advance direction in any desired position with respect to the engraving head.
  • the adjustment made possible by this coupling device is of value in connection with making enlargements or reductions of sections of a picture copy.
  • the coupling device may be provided in connection with the scanning head 50 instead of with engraving head 44 to obtain similar efl ects.
  • the lever 51 has a longitudinal slot 57 formed therein intermediate its opposite ends for accommodating a stub shaft 58 in sliding cooperation therewith.
  • the stub shaft 58 may be clamped to a stationary bar 60 which is connected with a structural part of the machine and extends in parallel to the engraving direction, in any desired position with respect to such bar, by clamping means 59, a pointer 62 extending from the stub shaft 58 cooperating with a scale 61 on the bar 60 to set and to indicate the desired reproduction ratio for the line advance motion, such ratio being generally equal to the reproduction ratio in the engraving and scanning direction.
  • the lever 51 will be rotated about the stub shaft 58, incident to the line advance motion, the stub shaft sliding within the slot 57 and constituting the changeable or adjustable pivot for the lever 51.
  • Enlargement of the image on the printing plate as compared with the picture copy will result when the pointer 62 extending from the stub shaft 58 is placed at the right of the scale mark "1 since the left (changeable) arm of the lever will be longer than the right (changeable) arm thereof.
  • Reduction of the image on the printing plate will be eifected when the pointer 62 extending from the stub shaft 58 is placed to the left of the scale mark "1 because the lengths of the respective arms of the lever 51 will differ in opposite sense.
  • the lengths of the two lever arms change steadily incident to the line advance motions, but the ratio remains at any instant constant and equal to the adjusted reproduction scale which is given by the ratio of the distance of the trunnion 54 from the stub shaft 58 and the distance of the pin 53 from the stub shaft 58.
  • the reproduction scale is set with the lever 51 in zero position, that is, when the lever extends in parallel to the engraving direction.
  • the lever 51 instead of having its left end journalled at a fixed point and having its right end slotted, as shown in Fig. 1, may have its right end journalled at a fixed point and its left end slotted.
