Description

A PLATE PRINTING MACHINE Technical Field

This invention relates to a plate printing machine which is used for the serial production of the plates, enables bidirectional motion of the plate during its conveyance and simultaneously enables to print a plurality of paint/pattern on the surface of the plate during the bidirectional motion.

Prior Art

When various patterns or paints are preferred to be printed on the products manufactured from glass or ceramic materials, different methods may be used. In case said glass or ceramic products have inclined structures, a standard method is used. In said standard method, in order to apply a pattern with a single color or to apply the paints on a curved surface with a higher quality, a unique squeegee and the pattern carrier plate is used for each pattern and the printing process is carried out by means of a serigraphy method. The squeegee prints the paint onto the pattern carrier plate. Then the plate comes underneath the silicone buffer. After the buffer transfers the paints on it from the plate with a printing technique, then it becomes ready for printing on the plate. Subsequently the silicone buffer transfers the paint to the plate which it received from the plate by means of printing. This process is applied by means of each station independent from each other. Therefore only a single color can be printed in each station. The plate which receives the paint is conveyed to the next station with a chain system. A separate station is required to be operated for each different color/pattern and the buffer of each station is required to make printing on the plate. In order to print colorful images on the curved glass products (plate) in a successful manner in the present state of the art, the buffers to be used during printing are required to be positioned in a manner such that they are located exactly to the center of both the plate and the surface which may be subject to printing. In order to obtain visually acceptable results, the patterns received by the silicon buffers thereon in all stations are required to be printed to the exact center of the product on which printing will be performed. In this system, stations and silicone buffers as much as the number of colors to be printed are required, in order to bring the product under all stations, an established endless chain mechanism, pressurized air distributor with required vacuum and vacuum generators are required; due to this inefficient method, the product has the risk of not protecting its own location during the pressure of the silicone buffer. Since this process is repeated in a separate station for each different color, said risk increases. As a result of experiencing such situations, shifted pattern failure occurs and the product is required to be considered as wastage.

Another problem that occurs in the current applications is related to securing the glass product subject to printing before it enters into the printing machine. Before passing to the printing machine, the plates cannot be retained in a durable manner in high vacuum, thus together with the pressure applied by means of the silicone buffers; they can be broken or damaged.

In the Chinese document No CN102423963 (A) with priority date of 26.09.2011 included within the present state of the art, a printing machine which can make print in 6 different colors is disclosed. Two printing silicones are used in the device which is designed as a rotating table in said document and the printing silicones are located in a manner such that they can be able to perform rotational movement. The paint panels enable paint transfer by means of coming underneath the printing silicones. The glass-ceramic parts on which paint is printed are located on a table in a manner such that they are secured to a plurality of stations. In said document, in order to receive different colors, there is a serial system which enables panels to receive paint. However in the invention subject to application, operation of plate loading system in a controlled manner by means of a servo-motor controlled motion system is taken as the basis. In the invention subject to application, the plate located on the plate printing machine for printing is secured by means of a vacuum system and its damage is prevented. The motion mechanism of the plate printing machine included within the invention subject to application cannot be able to move in a continuous way but in a bidirectional manner.

In the Chinese utility model document No CN204998129 (U) with priority date of 19.09.2015 included within the present state of the art, a two-colored printing machine is disclosed. In the invention included within said document, paint transfer to the silicon heads is enabled by means of pallet line motion by locating two different color pallets on the right and left side of the printing heads. The glass part secured by means of the part holder in said document is carried to the printing point by means of a line which is activated with a motor. However, in the invention subject to application, operation of the plate loading system in a controlled manner by means of a servo-motor controlled motion system is taken as the basis. In the invention subject to application, the plate located on the plate printing machine for printing is secured by means of a vacuum system and thus its damage is prevented. The motion mechanism of the plate printing machine included within the invention subject to application cannot be able to move in a continuous way but in a bidirectional manner.

In the Chinese utility model document No CN202463149 (U) with priority date of 28.02.2012 included within the present state of the art, a printing machine is disclosed. In the invention included in said document, different paint and patterns are enabled to be printed on the part by means of operating two different rotational rubber printing heads and the paint table in a coordinated manner. However, in the invention included within said document, there is no information in relation to a plurality of color printing, only it is mentioned that the speed of printing may be increased and the paint may be used in an optimum manner. In the invention subject to application, operation of the plate loading system in a controlled manner by means of a servo-motor controlled motion system is taken as the basis. In the invention subject to application the plate located on the plate printing machine for printing is secured by means of a vacuum system and its damage is prevented. The motion mechanism of the plate printing machine included within the invention subject to application cannot be able to move in a continuous way but in a bidirectional manner. In the invention included within said document, it is seen that the benefits differ due to aims for increasing the printing speed apart from making different color prints and decreasing the number of part holder mechanisms however it is also seen that the tables and the printing heads are activated by means of servo systems.

In the plate printing machine included within the invention subject to application, the paint panel conveying trolley, the printing mechanism and the plate conveying mechanism move at different axes in a bidirectional manner respectively. In said invention, the paint panels and the plate are moved at different axes in a controlled manner and when it is preferred they can be retained in a stable position. A plurality of color/pattern can be carried by means of a single buffer and can press on the plate by means of the movement of the paint panel conveying trolley.

In the present state of the art, there is no description in relation to the technical features included within the invention subject to application and the technical effects created by means of the invention subject to application. In the current applications, there is not such a plate printing machine which embodies a plate carrier comprising a perpendicular motion mechanism at different axes, a panel carrier and a print buffer, enables movement of the plate carrier and print buffer in a bidirectional and controlled manner, a plate printing machine which enables printing by means of transferring a plurality of color/pattern to the buffer by means of the panel carrier and plate carrier and thus simultaneously printing on the plate is not encountered.

Aims of the Invention

The aim of this invention is to provide a plate printing machine which decreases the contact of the silicone to the glass/ceramic product by means of the fact that the silicone buffer can be able to receive a plurality of pattern on it at once and prevents giving harm to the glass/ceramic product together with the decreased contact.

Another aim of this invention is to provide a plate printing machine which prevents shifting failure during the transfer of the patterns on the buffer by means of the fact that the silicone buffer can be able to receive a plurality of pattern on it at once.

Another aim of this invention is to provide a plate printing machine which decreases the production costs by means of receiving different patterns on one silicone.

Another aim of this invention is to provide a plate printing machine which prevents mechanical gap formation and damage due to the contact of the buffer on the plate as a result of the mechanical gap by means of enabling the plate on which color printing will be made to be stable by means of a low vacuum.

Brief Description of the Invention

A printing machine which is realized for fulfilling the aim of this invention is defined in the first claim and the other dependent claims consists of the conveying body, the painting panel unit, the paint panel trolley, the painting station, the printing mechanism, the plate conveying trolley, the control unit, the plate receiving arm and the plate conveying line. The plate which reaches to the plate conveying trolley from the plate conveying line is located on the support mould by means of the plate receiving arm. Together with loading the plate onto the plate conveying trolley, different color/patterns are formed on the first paint conveying surface and the second paint conveying surface by means of the painting stations in a sequential position. The painting stations simultaneously transfer color/pattems onto the first paint conveying surface and the second paint conveying surface. The painting panel unit moves in a manner such that the first paint conveying surface is positioned underneath the printing mechanism. After the print applied onto the first paint conveying surface by means of the buffer, the color/pattern included on the first paint conveying surface is transferred onto the buffer surface. After the motion of the buffer is completed then the painting panel unit moves in a forward direction again on the panel movement axis in a manner such that the second paint conveying surface comes underneath the printing mechanism. After the color/patterns on the first paint conveying surface and the second paint conveying surface are transferred onto the buffer, then the paint panel unit returns to its starting position by means of moving in a reverse direction on the panel movement axis. The buffer on which there are three different colors/patterns comes to the starting point by means of moving in an upward direction on the buffer movement axis. When the plate panel is aligned with the printing mechanism, the buffer applies pressure force on the plate in order to transfer the color/pattern onto the plate by means of moving in a downward direction on the buffer movement axis. In this case, three different colors/patterns can be printed on the plate by using only a single printing mechanism.

The buffer (6.2) is manufactured from a material which can undergo elastic deformation in order to receive the colors/patterns which are transferred to the painting panel unit (3) on it. In this embodiment of the invention the buffer (6.2) is preferably manufactured from silicone material. The buffer (6.1) receives the color and pattern on the first paint conveying surface

(3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2) in the painting panel unit (3) on it by means of applying force pressure thereon. In the same manner the buffer

(6.2) transfers the colors/pattems which it receives from the painting panel unit (3) on the plate by means of applying a pressure force.

In this embodiment of the invention, three different color/pattems are printed on the plate by only a single the printing mechanism (6) using three painting stations (5). The printing stations (5) are located on two parallel sides of the printing mechanism (6). On one side of the printing mechanism (6) a painting station (5) is located and on the other side two painting stations are located. While the paint panel unit (3) moves on the panel movement axis (X) under the painting stations (5), at the same time it passes from beneath the printing mechanism (6). In one embodiment of the invention the movement of the colors/patterns created in the painting stations (5) of the painting panel unit (3) during their transfer on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2) is realized as the following. Underneath two consecutively positioned painting stations (5), the painting panel unit (3), the first paint conveying surface

(3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2) are located in a manner such that they are in alignment with the painting stations (5). The painting stations (5) simultaneously transfer the colors/patterns on the first paint conveying surface

(3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2). After the colors/patterns are transferred on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2), the painting panel unit (3) moves on the panel movement axis (X) in a manner such that the first paint conveying surface (3.1) comes underneath the printing mechanism (6). When the first paint conveying surface

(3.1) comes underneath the printing mechanism (6), the buffer (6.2) applies a pressure force onto the first paint conveying surface (3.1) by means of moving on the buffer movement axis (Z). After the pressure applied by the buffer (6.2) onto the first paint conveying surface (3.1), the color/pattem present on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) is transferred on the surface of the buffer (6.2). The buffer

(6.2) comes to its previous position by means of moving on the buffer movement axis (Z) after the pressure applied on the first paint conveying surface (3.1). After the movement of the buffer (6.2) is completed, the painting panel unit (3), the second paint conveying surface (3.2) move in a forward manner in the panel movement axis (X) again in a manner such that the come underneath the printing mechanism (6). In case the second paint conveying surface (3.2) comes underneath the printing mechanism (6), the first paint conveying surface (3.1) is aligned with the painting station (5) on the other side of the printing mechanism (6). While the second color/pattem on the second paint conveying surface (3.2) underneath the printing mechanism (6) is transferred by means of the buffer (6.2) on it, at the same time, a third color/pattem is transferred by means of the painting station (5) onto the first paint conveying surface (3.1) which are aligned with each other. After the second color/pattem is transferred onto the buffer (6.2) and at the same time the third color/pattern is transferred onto the first paint conveying surface (3.1), the painting panel unit (3) enables the first paint conveying surface (3.1) to come beneath the printing mechanism (6) again by means of moving in a reverse direction to the panel movement axis (X). In case the first paint conveying surface (3.1) whereon there is the third color pattern is underneath the printing mechanism (6), the buffer (6.2) transfers the third color/pattern on it by means of applying a pressure force again on the first paint conveying surface (3.1). After the color/pattems on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2) are transferred on the buffer (6.2), the paint panel unit (3) returns to its starting position by means of moving on the panel movement axis (X) in a reverse direction. The first paint conveying surface (3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2) are aligned with the consecutive two painting stations (5) which are located on one side of the printing mechanism (6) at the starting position. In order to print three different colors/patterns which are present on the buffer (6.2) onto the plate, the plate conveying trolley (7) is used.

The plate conveying trolley (7) in one embodiment of the invention enables the plate to be aligned with the printing mechanism (6) on which printing will be made. The plate conveying trolley (7) moves each plate which is loaded on it respectively for printing on the plate movement axis (Y) in a manner such that each plate comes underneath the printing mechanism (6). The plate conveying trolley (7) is placed on the plate conveying feet (2.1) in the conveying body (2). The plate conveying trolley (7) brings the plate to the first loading position after the printing is applied on the plate by the printing mechanism (6). The plate conveying trolley (7) comprises at least one support mould (7.1) which carries the plate in a stable manner on it by means of vacuum, the plate panel (7.2), the plate conveying motor (7.3), the plate conveying rail (7.4), the plate conveying slide (7.5), the plate conveying belt (7.6), the additional motion channel (7.7) and the vacuum inlet (7.8). The plate conveying trolley (7) is placed on the plate movement axis (Y) in a manner such that it is perpendicular to the painting panel unit (3) and the printing mechanism (6). The plate conveying trolley (7) is in a lower position than the painting panel unit (3) and the painting stations (5) in the conveying body (2) in order to complete the movement of the buffer (6.2) on the buffer movement axis (Z) in a manner such that no strike happens.

In one embodiment of the invention the support mould (7.1) included in the plate conveying trolley (7) enables the plate to be retained in a stable manner. The support mould (7.1) is preferably manufactured from a material which may undergo an elastic deformation. The support mould (7.1) has a geometrical form which may be able to fit on the recess portion of the plate. The support mould

(7.1) is preferably in conical geometrical form. The plate on which printing will be made fits closely on the support mould (7.1). The support mould (7.1) prevents the separation of the plate without applying pressure by means of using vacuum. The support mould (7.1) comprises the plate seating surface (7.1.1) and the vacuum gap (7.1.2). The plate is positioned on the support mould (7.1) in a manner such that it contacts face to face with the plate seating surface (7.1.1). The separation of the plate is prevented by means of vacuuming to the support mould

(7.1) through the vacuum gap (7.1.2). The required vacuum for the support mould

(7.1) is provided by the vacuum inlet (7.8). The vacuum inlet (7.8) is preferably located on the plate panel (7.2). The vacuum inlet (7.8) is preferably operated by means of connecting it to a compressor or a vacuum generator. After the plate is placed on the support mould (7.1), vacuum is sent from the vacuum inlet (7.8) and during the color/pattem printing on the plate together with the vacuum passing through the vacuum gap (7.1.1), the separation of the support mould (7.1) without applying pressure is prevented.

In one embodiment of the invention the support mould (7.1) is located on the plate panel (7.2). The plate panel (7.2) carries the support mould (7.1). The plate panel

(7.2) comprises the belt channel (7.2.1). The plate panel (7.2) is preferably in a tetragonal geometrical form. The plate panel (7.2) is placed on the plate conveying slide (7.5) and the plate conveying belt (7.6). The plate conveying motor (7.3) enables the required force in order to move the plate panel (7.2) on the plate movement axis (Y). The plate conveying rail (7.4) is located on the plate conveying feet (2.1). The length of the plate conveying rail (7.4) s adjusted according to the limit of the movement which is made on the plate movement axis (Y) by means of the plate panel (7.2). There is plate conveying slides (7.5) on the plate movement rails (7.4). The plate conveying slides (7.5) may move in a bidirectional linear manner in a manner such that it slides on the plate conveying rail (7.4). The plate panel (7.2) fits on the plate conveying slides (7.5). The plate panel (7.2) which is fitted on the plate conveying slides (7.5) moves on the plate movement axis (Y) with the movement of the plate conveying slides (7.5) on the plate conveying rail (7.4). The plate conveying belt (7.6) is fitted to the belt channel (7.2.1) which is positioned under the plate panel (7.2). The plate conveying belt (7.6) is used when the plate panel (7.2) is preferred to move in the reverse direction instead of its starting direction of movement on the plate movement axis (Y). The plate conveying belt (7.6) is positioned between the plate conveying feet (2.1) in a manner such that it is preferably at the center of the plate panel (7.2). The plate conveying slide (7.5) and the plate conveying belt (7.6) operate in connection with the plate conveying motor (7.3). The plate conveying motor (7.3) enables the required force for the operation of the plate conveying slide (7.5) and the plate conveying belt (7.6) and triggers their operation. The plate conveying belt (7.6) enables the plate panel (7.2) to move in the reverse direction of the direction of movement and to remain in a stable position on the plate conveying rail (7.4). The plate conveying rail (7.4) is located in a manner such that its one end is aligned with the printing mechanism (6). The plate panel (7.2) enables the plate which is located to the support mould (7.1) to move on the plate movement axis (Y) in a manner such that it is aligned with the printing mechanism (6) on the buffer movement axis (Z).

In one embodiment of the invention the operation of the plate conveying slides (7.5) which enables the bidirectional movement of the plate panel (7.2) is realized as the following. The plate panel (7.2) which is located on the plate conveying slides (7.5) is triggered by means of the plate conveying motor (7.3) in order to move on the plate conveying rail (7.4). The plate conveying motor (7.3) triggers the plate conveying slide (7.5) and the plate conveying belt (7.6). The plate conveying slide (7.5) may move on the plate movement axis (Y) together with the triggering force applied by means of the plate conveying motor (7.3). When the plate panel (7.2) is preferred to move on the plate movement axis (Y) in a reverse direction to the starting direction of movement, the plate conveying belt (7.6) is triggered by means of the plate conveying motor (7.3). the plate conveying belt (7.6) which is triggered by means of the plate conveying motor (7.3) enables to direct the plate conveying slide (7.5) in the reverse direction to the direction of movement on the plate conveying rail (7.4). The plate panel (7.2) enables to print different colors/pattem received by the buffer (6.2) from the painting panel unit (3) onto the plate by means of moving on the plate movement axis (Y).

In one embodiment of the invention, the painting stations (5) are located on the panel movement axis (X) together with the painting panel unit (3). The plate conveying trolley (7) is located on the plate movement axis (Y) in a manner such that it is perpendicular to the painting panel unit (3). The printing mechanism (6) is preferably located to the center of the location on which the painting panel unit (3) and the plate conveying trolley (7) are located. The painting stations (5) are preferably located to two parallel sides of the printing mechanism (6). On the other hand the plate conveying trolley (7) is located adjacently to one side of the printing mechanism (6) in a manner such that it is perpendicular to the painting stations (5). The painting stations (5) are positioned according to the number of colors/patterns to be printed on the plate. In this embodiment of the invention three painting stations (5) are used for a printing process with three colors/patterns. The painting stations (5) are located on two sides on the printing mechanism (6) according to the transfer of three different patterns to the painting panel unit (3) which are located beneath. On the first paint conveying surface (3.1), after the second paint conveying surface (3.2), in order to transfer the third pattern, while two painting stations (5) are located on one side of the printing mechanism (6), the other painting station (5) is located on the opposite side. In this case in this embodiment of the invention, two painting stations (5) are located on one side of the printing mechanism (6) and one is located to the other side. Therefore while the second color/pattem is received by the buffer (6.2) over the second paint conveying surface (3.2), at the same time the third color/pattern is transferred on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) by means of the painting station (5).

In another embodiment of the invention, when five different colors/patterns are preferred to be applied on the plate, five painting stations (5) are used. In this case, on the mutual sides of the printing mechanism (6), three painting stations are located on one side and two painting stations are located on the other side.

The control unit (8) in one embodiment of the invention is adapted for enabling and controlling the movement of the paint panel conveying trolley (4), the printing mechanism (6) and the plate conveying trolley (7) within predetermined timing and in a sequential manner. The control unit (8) directly controls the movement of the paint panel conveying trolley (4), the printing mechanism (6) and the plate conveying trolley (7). The control unit (8) enables control of the paint panel conveying trolley (4) by means of the panel motion motor (4.1). The panel motion motor (4.1) triggers the panel motion slide (4.3) by means of the signal sent by the control unit (8) by the panel motion motor (4.1). Together with triggering the panel motion slide (4.3), the paint panel conveying trolley (4) begins to move on the panel motion rail (4.2) in a direction. When it is preferred that the paint panel trolley (4) reaches the painting stations (5) respectively and then the first painting panel unit (3) comes underneath the printing mechanism (6), together with the signal sent by the control unit (8) to the panel motion belt (4.4), the panel motion belt (4.4) enables the paint panel trolley (4) to stop and to move in a reverse manner. In one embodiment of the invention the control unit (8) enables control of the plate conveying trolley (7) by means of the plate conveying motor (7.3). Together with the signal sent by the control unit (8) to the plate conveying motor (7.3), the plate conveying motor (7.3) triggers the plate conveying slide (7.5). After the plate conveying slide (7.5) is triggered then the plate conveying trolley (7) starts to move on the plate conveying rail (7.4) in a direction by which it can reach the printing mechanism (6). When the plate conveying trolley (7) is preferred to reach the printing mechanism (6), together with the signal transmitted by means of the control unit (8) to the plate conveying belt (7.6), the plate conveying belt (7.6) enables the plate conveying trolley (7) to stay on the plate conveying rail (7.4) and to move in a reverse direction.

In one embodiment of the invention, the additional motion channel (7.7) in the plate conveying trolley (7) is used for preventing the strike of the plate panel (7.2) to the buffer (6.2). During the movement of the plate conveying trolley (7) on the plate movement axis (Y), in case the buffer (6.2) and the plate panel (7.2) are not enabled to be in the same period of time and in alignment, then the possible strike of the plate panel (7.2) to the buffer (6.2) by means of shifting from the line of the printing mechanism is prevented. The additional motion channel (7.7) is located on the side of the printing mechanism (6) which is parallel to the plate conveying trolley (7).

In one embodiment of the invention the control unit (8) enables control of the printing mechanism (6) by means of the printing motor (6.1). Together with the signal sent by the control unit (8) to the printing motor (6.1), the printing motor (6.1) triggers the presser bar (6.3). Together with triggering the presser bar (6.3), the buffer (6.2) starts to move on the presser bar (6.3) on the buffer movement axis (Z) in a downward direction. In case the buffer (6.2) reaches to the painting panel unit (3) or onto the plate, together with the signal transmitted by means of the control unit (8), the movement of the buffer (6.2) on the presser bar (6.3) stops and after the transfer of the color/pattern, it moves in a reverse direction on the presser bar (6.3) for returning back to its previous position.

In one embodiment of the invention the control unit (8) controls the operation of the painting station (5). The control unit (8) controls the time of the color/pattem transfer process in case the painting panel unit (3) comes under the painting station (5) of the squeegee (5.1) in the painting station (5).

The plate receiving arm (9) included in one embodiment of the invention is used for leaving a plate to the support mound (7.1) on the plate conveying trolley (7) and for removing the plate from the support mould (7.1) after the color/pattern printing process. The plate receiving arm (9) is preferably positioned at a location which is closer to the plate conveying trolley (7). The movement of the plate receiving arm (9) is preferably controlled by means of the control unit (8). The movement of the plate receiving arm (9) may be performed by setting against time according to leaving the plate on the support mould (7.1) and removing the plate from the support mould (7.1).

The plate conveying line (10) included in one embodiment of the invention enables to bring the plates to be located on the plate conveying trolley (7) and to separate the plates from the plate conveying trolley (7) on which printings are made. The plate conveying line (10) is positioned in a closer location to the plate conveying trolley (7). The plates received from the plate conveying line (10) are located to the plate conveying trolley (7) by means of the plate receiving arm (9). After the plates on which color/pattem printings are made, are received from the plate conveying trolley (7) by means of the plate receiving arm (9), are located on the plate conveying line (10) for sending to packaging or controlling. The operation of the plate conveying line (10) is controlled by means of the control unit (8). The plate conveying line (10) may be located on the plate movement axis (Y) or the panel movement axis (X). In this embodiment of the invention the plate conveying line (10) is preferably located on the panel movement axis (X) and a bidirectional movement is enabled on the panel movement axis (X). The plate conveying line (10) enables the plate on which printing is made to reach the plate conveying trolley (7) and to take away the plate on which printing is made from the plate conveying trolley (7).

In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the transfer of the color/pattern on the buffer (6.2) is performed by thermal changes. The colors/patterns created in the painting station (5) have a specific temperature. Transfer of the colors/patterns on the plate is realized from warm to cold. The buffer (6.2) which is used for transferring the colors/patterns has a lower temperature than the first paint conveying surface (3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2) in the painting panel unit (3). For this reason, the color pattern on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2) may be transferred on the buffer (6.2). The colors/patterns which are transferred on the buffer (6.2) are transferred on the plate which has a lower temperature than the buffer (6.2).

The usage of the plate printing machine (1) included in this embodiment of the invention where it is configured with a single printing mechanism (6), is realized as the following. The plate which is brought to the plate conveying trolley (7) from the plate conveying line (10) is located on the support mould (7.1) by means of holding with the plate receiving arm (9). By means of the operation of the vacuum, the support mould (7.1) is enabled to hold the plate in a stable manner. When the plate is loaded on the plate conveying trolley (7), at the same time different color/patterns are created on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2) by means of the consecutive painting stations (5). The painting stations (5) transfer the colors/pattems on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2) at the same time. After the colors/patterns are transferred on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2), the painting panel unit (3) moves on the panel movement axis (X) in a manner such that the first paint conveying surface (3.1) comes underneath the printing mechanism (6). When the first paint conveying surface (3.1) comes beneath the printing mechanism (6), the buffer (6.2) applies a pressure force on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) by means of moving on the buffer movement axis (Z). After the pressure applied by means of the buffer (6.2) on the first paint conveying surface (3.1), the color/pattem on first paint conveying surface (3.1) is transferred onto the surface of the buffer (6.2). After the buffer (6.2) applies a force on the first paint conveying surface (3.1), it returns to its previous location by means of moving on the buffer movement axis (Z). After the movement of the buffer (6.2) is completed then the painting panel unit (3), the second paint conveying surface

(3.2) moves in a forward direction on the panel movement axis (X) again in a manner such that they come underneath the printing mechanism (6). When the second paint conveying surface (3.2) comes beneath the printing mechanism (6), the first paint conveying surface (3.1) is in alignment with the painting station (5) on the other side of the printing mechanism (6). While the second color/pattern on the second paint conveying surface (3.2) which is under the printing mechanism (6) is transferred by the buffer (6.2) on it, simultaneously a different third color/patter is transferred on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) by means of the painting station (5) which are aligned with each other. After the second color/pattern is transferred on the buffer (6.2) and simultaneously the third color/pattem is transferred on the first paint conveying surface (3.1), the painting panel unit (3) enables the first paint conveying surface (3.1) to come beneath the printing mechanism (6) again by means of moving in a reverse direction on the panel movement axis (X). When the first paint conveying surface (3.1) on which the third color/pattern is present is beneath the printing mechanism (6), the buffer

(6.2) transfers the third color/pattem on it by means of applying a pressure force on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) again. After the colors/patterns on the first paint conveying surface (3.1) and the second paint conveying surface (3.2) on the buffer (6.2), the paint panel unit (3) returns to the starting position by means of moving in a reverse direction on the panel movement axis (X). The buffer (6.2) on which there are three different colors/pattems comes to the starting position by means of moving in an upward direction on the buffer movement axis (Z). The plate on the support mould (7.1) moves on the plate movement axis (Y) together with triggering the plate conveying trolley (7) in a manner such that it may reach the printing mechanism. In case the plate panel (7.2) is aligned with the printing mechanism (6), the buffer (6.2) applies a pressure force on the plate for transferring the color/pattern on it onto the plate by means of moving in a downward manner on the buffer movement axis (Z). In this case by using a single printing mechanism (6), three different color/patterns may be printed on the plate.

The usage of the plate printing machine (1) included in this embodiment of the invention which is configured with a pair of printing mechanisms (6) is realized as the following. In case there is a pair of printing mechanisms (6), the printing mechanisms (6) are located in an adjacent manner. In the same manner, two painting panel units (3) are also located in an adjacent manner. While the painting stations (5) are located together with two painting units (2), a painting station (5) which is connected to the other printing mechanism (6) is located on one side of the printing mechanism (6) where there are two painting stations (5). In the same manner on one side of the first printing mechanism (6) where a single painting station (5) is present, two painting stations (5) of the other printing mechanism (6) are located in a manner such that they correspond thereof. In this case all panting stations (5) are operated at the same time as it is in the plate printing machine (1) with a single printing mechanism (6) and simultaneously color/pattem transfer on the painting panel units (3) are realized. Transferring the first three colors/patterns on the plate is realized in the same way as it is with the single printing mechanism (6). However after the first buffer (6.2) comes to the first position by means of transferring the colors/pattems, the plate conveying trolley (7) is aligned with the second printing mechanism (6) by means of proceeding on the plate movement axis (Y). The other colors/pattems are printed on the plate which is aligned with the second buffer (6.2) on which other different three colors/patterns is transferred. The plate on which all colors/pattems are printed moves in a reverse manner by means of the plate conveying trolley (7) in a manner such that it comes to its previous position on the plate movement axis (Y).
