Method for disarming and / or ramping up a rotary printing machine

The invention relates to a method for disarming and / or starting a rotary printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.

A z. B. used in newspaper printing rotary printing machine, in particular a rotary printing press operating in an offset printing method, preferably a web-fed printing press, has in connection with their use for the production of a printed product essentially the following three temporally successive phases of work: equipping, producing, disarming. These three working phases are usually re-executed in conjunction with each new print job. The setting up of the rotary printing press is also referred to as setting up the press. In the actual production phase, several identical copies of a specific printed product are produced according to a print job to be currently processed.

By DE 601 17 889 T2 of the associated EP 1 1 55 856 B1, a device for automatically switching the operations of a web offset printing machine is known, in particular a device for automatic and sequential actuation of all facilities by an operator pressing a single switch. An automatic apparatus is provided which, when changing a print job, performs adjustment of ink layer thickness, web roll replacement, pressure plate replacement, and a selection of a folding process. By turning on a cleaning switch at a reduced speed, a plurality of steps are continuously and simultaneously performed under automatic control. These steps include cleaning a blanket cylinder with a cloth cleaner. From DE 44 35 429 A1 a web-fed rotary printing machine with an adjustable reel splicer for receiving printing material webs with different widths, with a printing unit with adjusable printing cylinders for forming pressure points and with an adjustable folder is known. The width of the roll changer, the position of the impression cylinders, and components of the folder are automatically and mutually adjusted to change production from a first print product to a second print product during machine run assisted by a controller to the web-fed rotary press.

From DE 43 38 625 A1 discloses a method for fully automatic cylinder cleaning in printing machines is known, which are equipped with a central control system and automated washing facilities, the central control system has an extension, by means of the operating parameters to determine the optimum for each washing device wash program detected by access to the central printing machine control system, each automatically determines the optimal wash sequence programs for each washing device and the individual washing devices are controlled with the appropriate optimal wash sequence program.

EP 1 1 55 853 B1 discloses a control method for a printing machine which comprises the following steps: a) cleaning a rubber blanket attached to a blanket cylinder, b) replacing a printing plate mounted on a plate cylinder with a new printing plate, c) exposing an image d) forming a color film coating distribution corresponding to an image to be next exposed on a paint roller group; and e) automatically performing blanket cleaning, plate replacement, image exposure and ink film distribution in a sequence of operations set by a single start command becomes. In addition, EP 1 361 049 A2 discloses a printing unit with at least four cylinders, which has a first pair of a first forme cylinder and a first transfer cylinder and a second pair of a second forme cylinder and a second transfer cylinder, wherein the transfer cylinders are in a pressure Acting at-position together and wherein at least the two cylinders of a pair are each driven by a separate drive motor without drive coupling to one of the other cylinders both in setup mode and during production. At least the dedicated driven transfer cylinder has a speed different from a production speed and a zero rotational speed for washing the transfer cylinder or retracting a web, and at the same time, the transfer cylinder associated forme cylinder of the same pair has a production speed different from a zero revolution speed on.

The invention has for its object to provide a method for disarming and / or run-up of a rotary printing machine, which improves the efficiency of the disarmament and / or run-up.

The object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

The solution found is characterized by the fact that for the disarmament and / or run-up of the rotary printing machine belonging activities that are performed by different units at different locations in the rotary printing machine, to a control unit, eg. B. at a control station of the rotary printing machine and run automatically after this start according to specifications of a program running in the control unit, ie after the program start the disarming and / or startup of the rotary printing machine is automatically executed without further operation of the unit exporting unit , The disassembling and / or the run-up of the rotary printing machine exporting units are central configurable in the control unit and thus easily adaptable. The efficiency of the disarming and / or the run-up is thereby improved because the parameters of the units involved in the disarmament can be adjusted flexibly and as needed in a simple manner. Operations during disassembly and / or run-up of the rotary printing press are thus in no time at z. B. adaptable design conditions in the rotary printing press or adapted to changing processes.

It is also advantageous that the disarmament and / or the run-up is carried out by a single operator and, moreover, is carried out in a shorter time compared to the conventional disassembly. As a result, the rotary printing press is available faster for further production. Their availability and thus their profitability are improved.

Moreover, it is advantageous that with the control unit, for. B. on the control station of the rotary printing press several automation of the rotary printing machine serving method can be executed and operated. Thus, both the method of disarming and the method of starting up a rotary printing press can be carried out on the same control unit, the latter putting the rotary printing press into a production-capable operating state with minimal expenditure of time and in a manner that is comfortable for an operator of the rotary printing press.

A preferred method for booting up a rotary printing press is characterized in particular by the fact that the rotary printing press is started from its standstill at least up to a first production speed after the triggering of a single control command at a control unit, during which run-up by the control unit an execution of the pending printing process involved aggregates of this rotary printing machine are both automatically activated as well as adjusted to the execution of the upcoming printing process. Such a method for starting up the rotary printing press has the advantage that a rotary printing machine with high starting safety and without the risk of a web break can be approached in a simple manner. As a result, the reliability of the rotary printing press is increased and minimizes a lot of inevitable produced by them initial waste, which improves the efficiency of the rotary printing press. Moreover, the rotary press operating personnel, z. As a printer, especially relieved against the background of the complexity of today's rotary printing presses, because such rotary printing machines have a variety of aggregates, which are all set to avoid an uneconomically large amount of waste paper for an intended printing process all in a very short time in a coordinated manner. Thus, the rotary printing machine is reliably placed in a production-capable operating state with a minimum of time and in a convenient manner for an operator of the rotary printing press, in which the rotary printing press produces salable copies of a printed product.

Since, with respect to a production process, the startup of a rotary printing machine precedes a disassembly of this rotary printing press, a description of a method of starting up the rotary printing machine will be given herein to describe a method for disassembling this rotary printing press.

The run-up of a rotary printing machine is also referred to as their start-up or as a proof of the upcoming printing process, wherein printing cylinder of the rotary printing press are brought from standstill in a so-called run-up curve by activating at least one drive to a speed at which the rotary printing machine salable copies produced a printed product. In the following, a rotary printing press designed as a web-fed rotary press is used, which is preferably used in a newspaper press and / or in one Offset printing process prints. The offset printing process used may be a conventional wet offset printing process using a dampening solution or a dry offset printing process which does not require the use of a dampening solution. A preferably printed on both sides with this rotary printing substrate is preferably formed as a paper web. The paper web is provided on this rotary printing machine in the form of at least one paper roll, preferably in the form of a plurality of paper rolls, the respective web to be unwound in each case as a sub-web of the total to be printed in a given printing process paper web z. B. automatically be joined together.

The run-up of the rotary printing press is usually divided into three successive phases in which the rotary printing press is set up to execute a new print job. After expiration of these three phases, the rotary printing press reaches a first production speed, in which this rotary printing machine salable copies of a printed product produced in the current printing process, for. As a newspaper, prints, because up to this time all involved in this printing process units of this rotary printing machine have been set in a manner suitable for the production of this printed product either manually or in aggregate-related semi-automated processes. Starting from its first production speed, the rotary printing press is usually at least one more, relatively higher, z. B. accelerated to its maximum production speed to work with this ultimately set higher production speed a printing process concerned print job.

In the first phase of the startup is from a standstill of the rotary printing machine, the paper web with a drawing speed of z. B. fed a maximum of 5 m / s in the rotary printing press. In the second phase, which is commonly referred to by printers as "first faster" because they leave after leaving the standstill includes a first acceleration of participating in the printing process printing cylinders of this rotary printing machine in the run-up curve, a required web tension is built up in the paper web. A run of the paper web is in the rotary printing machine with suitable measuring means, for. As sensors monitored. In a subsequent third phase, the transport speed of the paper web is accelerated to a first value determined by the type of rotary printing press, so-called offset commands being activated in this acceleration phase. The zuzusaltenden Offsetkommandos are z. B. specified in a so-called offset sequence and relate to an activation of aggregates of the rotary printing press, which are required to carry out the printing process. Usually, these units are switched on in the aforementioned acceleration phase at predetermined values for a rotational speed of the printing cylinder of this rotary printing press. Affected aggregates are z. B. at least one inking unit and / or a dampening unit and a Makulaturweiche this rotary printing press. The printing cylinder of the rotary printing press are z. B. driven electronically controllable or controllable drives, preferably directly and / or individually and independently driven, these drives z. B. are designed as electric motors. For a more detailed explanation of the rotary printing machine or one of its printing units together with aggregates built therein reference is made to FIG. 5 with the associated description.

The offset sequence looks z. B. before, a) a dispensing dampening solution from a fountain solution of the z. B) to set at least one of the dampening solution on one of the printing unit cylinders applying dampening rollers to this usually designed as a forme cylinder printing unit, c) a discharge of ink from a color reservoir of the inking in progress to set by z. B. in preferably several rows in the axial direction of the printing cylinder to each other D) to place at least one of the inking rollers applied to one of the printing unit cylinders to this printing unit cylinder, which is generally designed as a forme cylinder, e) to start overhydration and / or overstaining and f) if necessary to close the inevitable produced initial waste paper rejects. Additional offset commands can be added depending on the equipment of the rotary printing press and the desired sequence of the production process. The aforementioned associated with the respective aggregates respectively triggered by corresponding offset commands actuating operations are preferably each remotely operated, z. B. by an operation of appropriate controls on a belonging to the rotary printing press control room. If a web break occurs during a first start-up of the rotary printing press, already executed offset commands are immediately deactivated and reset.

It is advantageous to run at least all essential, preferably all made during startup of the rotary printing machine settings from and to aggregates preferably programmatically completely automated after the printer to a control unit, eg. B. at the control station of the rotary printing press, has triggered a corresponding control command. After triggering this single control command, the rotary printing machine is automatically raised from its standstill at least up to a first production speed, without the need for additional intervention of the printer. This control command is preferably by an operation of a single, z. B. triggered at the control station of the rotary printing machine control element.

In addition, it is pointed out that during startup of the rotary printing press, two operating situations are usually to be distinguished. In a first operating situation, the rotary printing machine for a particular printing process is first started up, whereas a second operating situation is a restart of the Rotary printing machine in a same printing process z. B. after a malfunction, for. B. after a web break concerns. At the control unit, z. B. at the control station of the rotary printing machine is preferably given by a program choice between two operating situations. After a run-off of the rotary printing press which has already taken place for the execution of a specific print job, the program automatically only gives the possibility of restarting the rotary printing press. Manually, ie without this aforementioned program specification with respect to one of said operating situations, a run-up of the rotary printing press can be performed at any time either according to both operating situations. In both operating situations, the respective run-up of the rotary printing machine can take place automatically and without additional intervention by the printer. In both operating situations, the run-up of the rotary printing machine may differ in the settings of the program to be executed. In this program, which controls the respective run-up of the rotary printing press, at least the type and sequence of the control commands designated here as offset commands and their respective connection times are respectively defined.

In addition to a run-up of the rotary printing machine is preferably in the same control unit, for. As the control center of the rotary printing press, and at least one program deposited, which relates to a run-down of the rotary printing press. The Runterlauf the rotary printing machine is also referred to as the outlet. After the Runterlauf or starting with the phase of the Runterlaufs of the rotary printing machine or within this phase of the Runterlaufs their Abrüsten can take place, if z. B. a production change is pending. For the run-down of the rotary printing press, a plurality of sequences provided for different operating situations of the rotary printing press can also be stored in the control unit of the rotary printing press, which can be selected automatically or manually depending on a current operating situation of the rotary printing press. A selection criterion for which of the sequences for the runoff of the Rotary printing press is selected or can be selected, the rotational speed of the rotary printing press, which it currently has at the time of selecting the sequence for the Runterlauf.

In the following, various courses of each of an automated controlled, d. H. Run-up of the rotary printing press executed and monitored in coordinated method steps is explained by way of example with reference to some figures. Fig. 1 shows a first preferably on an optical display device of the control unit, for. As the control room, displayed program mask, in the illustrated embodiment, this program mask is divided into two parts and shows in its upper half a course of a first start of the rotary printing machine and in its lower half a course of a restart of the rotary printing machine. Both courses, which are preferably displayed simultaneously in this program mask, are each shown in the form of a diagram, wherein an abscissa of the respective diagram is a time line and on an ordinate of the respective diagram a production speed of the rotary printing machine correlating with the transport speed of the paper web in each case in values for a speed of the printing unit cylinders This rotary printing machine is shown. Each of these courses of a run-up of the rotary printing press has a plurality of plateaus in which the speed of the printing cylinder of this rotary printing machine remains at a certain value, wherein in the respective period of constant speed of the printing cylinder of this rotary printing machine to be executed by or on aggregates of the rotary printing machine certain positioning operations.

In FIG. 1, the respective courses for the initial startup and the restart do not differ fundamentally from each other, but only in some values assigned to the respective plateaus for the rotational speed of the printing couple cylinders of this rotary printing machine, for which a certain plateau is reached, and / or in the Number of revolutions of the printing cylinder of this rotary printing machine, whereby a certain duration is determined for the time period assigned to a particular plateau. Thus, after leaving the standstill in the first phase of startup of the rotary printing machine, the paper web with a constant drawing speed of z. B. withdrawn four revolutions of the printing cylinder in the rotary printing machine, wherein after further z. B. six revolutions of the printing cylinder already uses the "first faster" designated second phase of startup of the rotary printing press It can be provided that at a speed of the printing cylinder from, for example, 500 revolutions per hour, a so-called start-washing the printing cylinder is executed When the printing cylinder reaches a speed of, for example, 2,050 revolutions per hour, the third phase of the startup of the rotary printing press begins, in which the abovementioned offset commands are switched in. This third phase continues until the rotational speed of the printing cylinder reaches a value of, for example, On this plateau, the speed of the printing cylinder remains, for example, for another 500 revolutions of these printing cylinder before the speed of the printing cylinder is then increased to a value of, for example, 20,000 revolutions per hour, with a first production speed can be achieved. On the value of this speed, the first production speed characterizing the printing cylinder, the printing cylinder for 1,500 more revolutions of this printing cylinder can persist, before then the printing cylinder on the plateau a second, z. B. maximum production speed of z. B. 35,000 revolutions per hour to be accelerated. If the printing process underlying the current printing process has been completed, the rotary printing machine is automatically re-started by the program running in the control unit and thus automatically in the rotational speed of its printing cylinder. B. shut down to a standstill. During the Runterlaufs can at a speed of the printing cylinder from z. B. 10,000 revolutions per hour an outlet washing the printing cylinder can be provided.

The course of the recovery of the rotary printing press shown in FIG differs from their initial start only in some numbers set on the control unit. It is advantageously provided that all of the aforementioned numerical values in the underlying program can be set variably on the control unit. A program mask for making such settings is shown by way of example in FIG. 2, on the one hand given rotational speeds for the printing cylinder, to which certain steps such as the offset commands are initiated, and on the other hand in association with individual offset commands each a certain number of revolutions of these Printing cylinder specified to specify the respective duration of the time associated with the execution of a particular offset command period. The program mask for making adjustments to the run-up of the rotary printing press preferably also contains fields for setting values for the run-down of this rotary printing press. For example, in FIG. 2, for the run-down of the rotary printing press, numerical values z. B. for two at least in their respective starting speed distinctive sequences shown.

FIG. 3 shows a first example of a course of the run-up of the rotary printing machine automatically executed by the control unit, in which case numerical values are plotted on both the abscissa and the ordinate thereof, the ordinate, however, indicating the respective transport speed of the paper web. A possible course of the restart of the rotary printing machine is indicated only by a dotted line. Thus, in the illustrated example 10 seconds after leaving the standstill at a transport speed of the paper web of about 0.1 m / s already reached a first plateau P1, which begins with the called "first faster" second phase of startup of the rotary printing machine and on 15 seconds later, or 25 seconds after starting the run-up, the printing cylinder of the rotary printing press required for the upcoming printing process and which accelerate the paper web by its rotation are accelerated in such a way that the Paper web at a time of z. B. 44 seconds after the startup of a transport speed of z. B. 2 m / s. Now the actual set-up phase of the rotary printing machine begins. On a at this aforementioned transport speed of the paper web z. B. 180 seconds second plateau P2, the already mentioned offset commands are output in an order determined in the responsible control unit and thus the required for the upcoming printing process units of the rotary printing machine in a useful for the printing process operating state, so at the end of this plateau P2 at a Time of z. B. 224 seconds after the start of run-up first copies of the printed product to be produced are produced in a salable quality. In the following 60 seconds, the transport speed of the paper web by increasing the speed of the printing cylinder of the rotary printing machine z. B. accelerated to a value of about 8 m / s, which then a third plateau P3, namely the plateau P3 a first production speed of this rotary printing machine is reached. This plateau P3 the first production speed of this rotary printing machine can, for. B. persist for another 60 seconds, after which the transport speed of the paper web by a further increase in the speed of the printing cylinder of the rotary printing machine z. B. can be accelerated to a maximum value, which then a second, z. B. the maximum production speed of this rotary printing machine has been set by the control unit, which forms a fourth plateau P4 in the ramp-up curve shown. After a processing of the print job, the speed of the printing cylinder of the rotary printing machine and thus the transport speed of the paper web is shut down again, z. B. to a standstill, which may be provided in the runoff, if necessary, upon reaching a fifth plateau P5 Auslaufwaschen the printing process cylinder involved in the previous printing process, the program of the control unit causes the execution of the Auslaufwaschens the printing cylinder in the run down of the rotary printing machine If the rotary printing machine during processing the same print job again must be raised, the run-up curve can also take the dotted line in Fig. 3.

Fig. 4 shows a second example of a course of the automatically executed by the control unit run-up of the rotary printing machine, in this diagram in turn numerical values are plotted both on the abscissa and on the ordinate, the ordinate, however, the respective speed of the printing cylinder of the rotary printing machine indicates. In this example, a process flow is explained, which includes the use of a dryer within the rotary printing press, because in the printing process z. B. heatset inks are printed. This can be z. B. be the case in a semi-commercial application.

If an operator of the rotary printing press on the control unit belonging to this rotary printing press, the program preferably implemented there in a memory unit for the automated run-up of this rotary printing press z. B. by an operation of a z. B. on the control unit mounted control element, an activation of this program and thus the start of the run-up z. B. by a visual display, in particular by a flashing of the operated control element, are displayed. With the actuation of the control element begins z. B. including a review of the dryer of this rotary printing machine, in particular whether its doors are closed and its nozzle bed is ready. Also begins after this first system check a heating of this dryer to a temperature of z. B. 100 ° C. If a correction in a setting of the dryer is required, a corresponding message is sent to the control unit belonging to the display device, for. On a monitor belonging to the control room, and requests the operator of the rotary press to make a change in the setting of the dryer. The displacement of the dryer in its operational readiness is z. B. completed in no more than 45 seconds. As soon as the dryer is in its operational readiness, takes place at the belonging to the control unit display device corresponding, z. B. optical message. At the same time with the achieved operational readiness of the dryer can be started, for. B. to prepare a washing function for washing at least one spanned on a transfer cylinder printing blanket by activating a corresponding program, provided that at least one of the upcoming printing process to be involved printing cylinder of the rotary printing machine is designed as such a transfer cylinder. This preparation time can z. B. take 6 seconds, with z. B. 2 seconds before the end of this preparation time of belonging to this rotary printing machine control unit an acoustic signal in the form of z. B. a horn is issued. It can be provided that at the end of this preparation time, the preferably still persistently flashing control element of the control unit for activating the program for automatically run-up of this rotary press is to be re-actuated to trigger now the beginning of a rotation of participating in the upcoming printing process printing cylinder of the rotary printing press. With the beginning of the rotation of this printing cylinder of the rotary printing press whose dryer is heated to its final operating temperature. Once the rotation of this printing cylinder of the rotary printing press a speed of z. B. achieved 1,000 revolutions per hour, an execution of the already prepared washing function for washing at least one spanned on the transfer cylinder printing blanket can be triggered programmatically. In the continuing, a total of z. B. about 8 seconds comprehensive acceleration phase of this printing cylinder of the rotary printing machine is preferably sensory checks the web tension of the drawn into the rotary printing machine web. Also, at the dryer of the rotary printing machine another, z. B. second blower level can be turned on. At a speed of this printing cylinder of the rotary printing machine of about 10,000 revolutions per hour, the aforementioned first acceleration phase of this printing cylinder can be completed, so that the speed of the printing cylinder at this value for a z. B. variable adjustable duration X remains. This residence time X is z. Example of the running at this time washing program for washing at least one spanned on the transfer cylinder printing blanket. After expiration of this residence time X, the washing of at least one blanket spanned on the transfer cylinder is completed and a sequence begins in which at least one of the printing unit cylinders of the rotary printing press to be involved in the upcoming printing process is employed against another of these printing group cylinders, in order to carry out the pending printing process to enable. After the expiration of this residence time X to be involved in the upcoming printing process printing cylinder of the rotary printing machine is also further accelerated, z. B. to a speed of about 12,000 revolutions per hour. Upon reaching the last-mentioned rotational speed of the printing cylinder of the rotary printing press, process steps for further setting up of this rotary printing press start. These method steps may correspond to the offset commands shown at the beginning. If necessary, manual intervention by the operator of the rotary printing press can also be performed in this section of the run-up of the rotary printing press. From one end of this section, the rotary printing press begins to produce first salable copies E of the printed product to be produced in the current print job. In a not fully automatic running process for starting the rotary printing press can be provided that the operator of this rotary printing machine now another z. B. must also actuate control element mounted on the control unit to cause the participating in the upcoming printing process printing cylinder of the rotary printing machine to a further, higher, preferably maximum production speed at a speed n _PrO du _k tio _{n be} accelerated. However, this manual operating step is eliminated in a fully automatic process for starting up the rotary printing press, in which the rotary printing machine up to the triggering of the single control command from the program running in the control unit its maximum production speed is automatically raised.

Assuming that the rotary printing machine in conjunction with its units for web tension adjustment and for setting the ink application and for adjusting at least one longitudinal and / or cross-section of the paper web has a web tension control device, a color register control device, a color density control device and / or a cut register control device, the controlled ramp-up of the rotary printing machine described so far can be expanded into a control that automatically controls this run-up. A controlled ramp-up of the rotary printing press then proceeds in a sequence of steps described below by way of example.

As described above, after an operation of a particular z. B. control panel mounted on the control process for starting the rotary printing machine started. The participating in the upcoming printing process printing cylinder of the rotary printing machine begin the paper web with the so-called retraction speed of z. B. a maximum of 5 m / s constantly feed into the rotary printing press. On the first plateau P1 (FIG. 3), the web tension control device checks whether a sufficient web tension is present in the paper web and, if necessary, regulates the existing web tension to a predetermined first target value. The web tension is then increased by the "first faster" and the web tension control device regulates the now existing web tension to a predetermined second target value. When this control target is achieved, the rotary press accelerates its printing cylinder to the setup speed which corresponds to the second plateau P2 in FIG. 3, where the control unit belonging to this rotary printing press automatically executes the offset sequence with the abovementioned offset commands Rotary printing press adjusts one another, so that executed with this rotary printing machine multi-color printing, in particular four-color printing, error-free, but at least carried out with sufficient accuracy. Likewise, the color density control means controls the color density required to produce the printed product. If a plurality of layers of the paper web are required to produce the printed product, the cut register control device regulates these paper web layers in their respective lateral offset as well as in their respective sections, in particular with regard to their respective print images.

If the color register control device, the color density control device and optionally the cut register control device in each case report a successful adjustment of the units influenced by them to the control unit of the rotary printing press, the Makulaturweiche the rotary printing press is closed programatically. The control unit of the rotary printing press accelerates the printing cylinder then to the desired, in particular maximum production speed of this rotary printing press by acting accordingly on the respective drives of this printing cylinder. In such a fully automatic control loop in which positive feedback of previous process steps automatically release subsequent process steps based on previously defined criteria, the first production speed (FIG. 3 or 4) is not required because the web tension control device, the color register control device, the color density control device and optionally the cut register control device their respective Adjustment and influence on the printing process z. B. continuously check sensor and readjust in a determination of a deviation of a detected actual value of a predetermined setpoint automatically. Therefore, in the case of a controlled run-up of the rotary printing press, the control unit of the same pressure cylinders without adhering to a Zwischenplateaus P3 (Fig. 3 or 4) continue to accelerate, which allows a very fast executable run-up of the rotary printing press. In the controlled startup of the rotary printing machine is thus preferably provided in that the program executed by the control unit checks, on at least one control point determined during the run-up, an admissibility to continue the run-up on the basis of measured data obtained in the rotary printing press and only continues the run-up if at least one of the permissible, preferably in a memory of the Control stored condition with respect to this checkpoint is met. If one or even several conditions for continuing the run-up are not met, the run-up can be suspended by the program or, if necessary, interrupted by an automatic initiation of the run-down. At least a message is sent to the operator of the rotary printing press.

In the following, will now be discussed in more detail on the already mentioned Runterlauf the rotary printing machine, which often follows a disassembly of the rotary printing machine. The term "disarmament" is understood to mean all activities which are necessary and must be carried out in order to bring the rotary printing machine back to its original state, so that it prepares for a new production or for a subsequent production, ie. H. can be set up.

The disassembly of the rotary printing press essentially includes the following activities or work steps:

^■ At least one guide roller leading to a substrate must be cleaned.

^■ At least a remainder of the substrate used in the previous production, eg. B. of one or more webs of material, especially paper webs, is to be removed from the rotary printing press, if the new production requires a different substrate or a different number of webs of the substrate in question.

^■ At least one roller of an inking unit and optionally also at least one roller of a dampening unit of this rotary printing press are to be cleaned. ^■ At least one printing blanket of a transfer cylinder cooperating with the forme cylinder, ie at least one so-called blanket, must be cleaned.

^■ At least one printing plate used in the previous production must be removed from its mounting position on a forme cylinder of this rotary printing press.

All these steps of disarmament are often either manually by operators of the rotary printing press or automatically arranged in the rotary printing press, special, individually operated units such as a corresponding car wash, z. B. a blanket washer, running. These activities are performed by a single operator one at a time or by several operators at the same time, but independently from each other, each by an actuation of the respective unit.

Also, for the disassembly, it is desirable that the activities associated with the disassembly of the rotary printing press, which are performed by different units at different locations in the rotary printing machine, to a control unit, for.

The control unit is connected to at least one operating unit and to at least one display device. With the operating unit is running in the control unit program, which controls the disassembly of the rotary printing machine, selectable and activatable, with individual steps of disarming the display device in a corresponding program screen can be displayed and selected as needed, the individual selected steps of the respective Aggregates in the rotary printing press then automatically executed either in parallel, ie substantially at the same time, or successively, for which purpose the program controlling the process of disarming actuates the respective units in accordance with a sequence defined in the program. FIGS. 6 and 7 each show, for example, a program mask from the program for executing the disarming process. With the control unit of the control unit, z. B. with a pointer instrument or a keyboard, the operator of the rotary printing machine in the program mask shown in FIG. 6, the desired steps for performing the Abrüstvorgangs operations preferably for each of z. B. eight selected in the printing unit shown by way of example arranged printing units, ie the units to be actuated of these printing units are selected. Thereafter, in the program mask, the button with the function "auto-disarming" is selected, whereby the execution of this program starts with respect to the selected units.If the rotary printing press has several printing units, the respective printing unit can also be connected to the display unit before making the described adjustments The parameters of the individual aggregates which relate in particular to the tasks of disarming are set, for example, in a program mask according to FIG. 7. These parameters relate, for example, to a time duration and / or a temporal position and / or a number Repetitions of individual washing operations or a pitching time or stopping time of the respective washing blade, these parameters, for example, for each of the ink roller washing 09 and wash blade present in one of the inking units 03 individually and preferably also independently of other ink roller washing 09 b between washing knives are adjustable. Also, as a parameter z. B. to be executed during the washing process speed of the respective transfer cylinder 02 or the respective roller 06 of the respective inking unit 03 or the relevant roller 06 of the respective dampening unit 04 or the relevant guide roller 14 can be adjusted.

The automated disarming process begins z. B. with a washing of one or more guide rollers 14. For this, the pressure points involved in the previous production, also all the material web / s 12 in the printing unit promoting tension elements and a pressure unit downstream folding machine are activated with their respective retraction speed, said retraction speed for the web / s 12 a transport speed of z. B. about 5 m / min mean can. Also, a detergent is applied to the web / s 12 each. The guide rollers 14 which are in contact with this material web 12 or these material webs 12 are braked in preferably a plurality of individual intervals so that a dirt occupying these guide rollers 14 is conveyed through the respective material web 12 soaked with detergent, which has a transport speed which is low compared to the full production speed Pressure unit and possibly the pressure unit downstream folding machine is moved, is transported away.

After completion of the cleaning of the guide rollers 14, the pressure points involved in the previous production, further all the material web / s 12 in the printing unit promotional tension elements and the web / en 12 in the folder conveying rotating elements accelerated to a peripheral speed, which z. B. corresponds to about 5% of the full production speed. Upon reaching the transport speed corresponding to this circumferential speed for the material web (s) 12 to be conveyed, the stripping device 13 is triggered in front of the respective printing unit and the respective material web 12 is separated from its respective roll.

In a rotary printing machine having a plurality of printing units, a material web 12 can usually be guided and conveyed along different web paths, the length of the respective web paths being known and a calculated value corresponding to the respective length being stored in a memory of the control unit controlling the disarming process. After the web 12 has reached the longest web path belonging to the rotary printing press folder, the web 12 are stopped with the longest path and possibly further passed through this rotary press to the same folder webs of material 12 in their respective transport movement. With the execution of this step, the rotary printing machine is cleared of all material webs 12 involved in the previous production, ie there is currently no Material web 12 more in the belonging to this rotary printing units printing units. This step is activated in the program mask shown in FIG. 6 by means of a selectable button shown in the footer bar in the program controlling the disarming process. A remainder of one or more of the material webs 12 involved in the preceding production can now also be removed from the folder belonging to the rotary printing press.

The disarming process shown by way of example according to the program mask of FIG. 6 envisages that the inking unit 03 and the associated dampening unit 04 are washed in all the printing units involved in the previous production, because in the program mask shown, the buttons assigned to them are belonging to the control unit Operating unit respectively selected, whereby the respective program to be executed step is activated. In practice, it is preferable to provide a link between the functions "inking unit or inking roller washing" and "dampening unit washing" which can be selected in the program mask, this linking providing that activation of the "dampening unit washing" function also necessarily leads to activation the function "inking unit or ink rollers wash" leads. It is preferably excluded by the program that the dampening unit 04 can be washed without washing the inking unit 03 at the same time. However, it is possible to wash only the inking unit 03 alone, without initiating a washing process at the dampening unit 04.

When washing the inking unit 03, ie of the rollers 06, a detergent is applied by means of the ink roller washing 09 on at least one of these rollers 06, wherein the ink roller washing device 09 z. B. has a detergent on the outer surface of the associated roller 06 sprayed spray bar. When washing the dampening unit 04 is a dampening solution, eg. As water, applied to at least one of the rollers 06 06 of this dampening unit. The dampening unit 04 is z. B. formed as a spray dampening 04, so that the dampening solution also by means of a Spray bar is sprayed onto the lateral surface of a roller 06 associated with this spray bar. In each printing unit of the roller train of the inking unit 03 and that of the dampening unit 04 via a bridge roller 1 1 are interconnected, said bridge roller 1 1 at least for the duration of the process of cleaning this inking unit 03 and this dampening unit 04 between this inking unit 03 and this dampening 04th is hired. Excess detergent applied to the rollers 06 of the inking unit 03 can be doctored off by means of the washing blade of the ink roller washing device 09. The duration of time and / or the timing and / or the number of repetitions of individual washing operations in the inking unit 03 and / or in the dampening unit 04 and arrival and stopping times of the washing blade are preferably at the control room z. B. variably adjustable according to the program mask shown in FIG. 7, wherein a value adjustment of these parameters z. B. of the materials used in the printing process, for. As the substrate, the ink or a surface texture of the substrate and / or the ink leading and / or promotional rotational body is dependent.

To perform the step of washing the inking unit 03 whose rollers 06 are rotationally accelerated and z in a z. B. set between 3,000 and 6,000 revolutions per hour variably selectable washing speed. If by appropriate selection z. For example, in the program mask shown in Fig. 6 also a washing of the dampening unit 04 was provided, the bridge roller 1 1 is first employed between the inking unit 03 and the dampening unit 04 and only then are the rollers 06 of the inking unit 03 and the dampening unit Accelerates 04 and the previously mentioned washing speed in the range z. B. set between 3,000 and 6,000 revolutions per hour. In both cases - whether with a washing of the dampening unit 04 or without - after the adjustment of the washing speed, the previously described roller washing program is executed. After completion of the roller washing program, the rollers 06 of the inking unit 03 and possibly also the rollers 06 of the Dampening unit 04 is braked to their respective standstill and it can be released by the program to a subsequent work step.

If a wash of a blanket clamped on a transfer cylinder 02 has been selected for at least one printing unit in the program mask of FIG. 6, then the blanket washing device 08 associated with this transfer cylinder 02 will become a rest of one or more of the preceding production after the rotary printing press has been released involved material webs 12 preferably at the same time with the step of washing the inking unit 03, if this latter step was also selected activated. The transfer cylinder 02 is accelerated to its washing speed, said washing speed in the range z. B. between 3,000 and 10,000 revolutions per hour can be set variably. The associated washing program can in the program mask shown in FIG. During the execution of the step of washing the at least one blanket on the transfer cylinder 02 is in the inking unit 03, a supply of ink and preferably also the transfer cylinder 02 of its impression cylinder, ie 5, after the blanket has been washed, the relevant transfer cylinder 02 is decelerated from its washing speed to standstill, after which the program can issue a release for a subsequent work step in the disassembly process or issue a message indicating the end of the disarming process to the control station, if the disarming process is to be completed already with the washing of the blanket.A work step to be carried out after the blanket has been washed may in particular consist in that at least at least one selected printing unit at least one printing plate used in the previous production preferably fully automatically removed from its mounting position on the associated forme cylinder 01 with the help of the associated plate changer 07 becomes. However, the activities associated with disassembling the rotary printing press may include removing a plurality of printing plates used in the previous production, these printing forms being used on one of the forme cylinders 01 of this rotary printing press on the same forme cylinder 01 in its axial direction and / or in its circumferential direction at different mounting positions become. After this work step, which is usually called "stripping", the message indicating the end of the dismantling operation is finally sent to the control unit controlling the disarming process.

Based on a flowchart shown in FIG. 8, the procedure of the Abrüstvorgangs will be explained again. The program starts with the program controlling the disarming process. Thus, all activities associated with the disassembly of the rotary printing press are centrally activated and remotely operated, at which time all the aggregates involved in the disarming process are entered by means of appropriate inputs or selections preferably already parameterized on at least one program mask displayed on the display device.

The started program checks in a first query 21, if a cleaning of at least one guide roller 14 is provided in this Abrüstvorgang. If this question is answered in the affirmative, the cleaning of the selected guide roller 14 is carried out in the operation 22. Otherwise, there is a jump to a next query 23, whether a retraction of the rotary printing machine should be made by a remaining in the rotary printing machine from the previous production rest of the printing material 12. If so, the retraction of the rotary printing press is performed in step 24. Otherwise, a jump to a further query 26, whether at least one inking unit 03 or an inking unit 03 is to be cleaned together with a dampening unit 04. If so, according to the selection and the settings in the appropriate program mask has been provided, will clean the inking unit

03 and / or the dampening unit 04 executed in the step 27. If this step 27 of cleaning the inking unit 03 and / or the dampening unit 04 is to be omitted, the program jumps to a further questioning this question 28, if at least one blanket is to be cleaned by one of the transfer cylinder 02. If this is in the affirmative, the printing blank in question is cleaned in step 29. Otherwise, in the course of the program, a jump to another query 31 takes place, namely whether at least one printing forme 01 is to be removed on at least one forme cylinder 01. If so, the relevant printing forme is removed in step 32 by using a means 07 for automatically changing the at least one printing forme from the forme cylinder 01 concerned. If this is not intended, the sequence of the program for carrying out the Abrüstvorgangs can already be terminated with the query 31 for removing at least one printing plate on at least one forme cylinder 01.

It can be provided that, instead of the sequential sequence shown in FIG. 8, the working steps 27 and 29 that clean the inking unit 03 and / or the dampening unit

04 or the cleaning of the blanket concern, at the same time, ie, executed parallel to each other, whereby the Abrüstvorgang is performed accelerated again. It is advantageous, after an executed step 22; 24; 27; 29 to issue a release for a program according to subsequent program step by a corresponding message to the control unit controlling the Abrüstvorgang. At least after the step 32 of the Abplattens a indexing the end of the Abrüstvorgangs message is sent to the control unit. With this message, the disarming process is completed and the rotary press is ready to set up for a new print job. Bezugszeichenhste
