Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, wie sie beispielsweise in Dokument EP-A-352 364 beschrieben wird. Derartige Druckmaschinen, insbesondere für den Verpackungsdruck, sind allgemein bekannt und weisen den Nachteil auf, daß jeweils die verwendeten, relativ schweren, mit Platten belegte Zylinder entsprechend den benötigten Zylindergrößen komplett ausgetauscht werden müssen, was naturgemäß aufwendig und teuer ist. Ein Endlosdruck (kanallos) ist nicht möglich. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine neue Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine, insbesondere für Verpackungsdruck, aufzuzeigen, mit der in wirtschaftlicher Weise und in kurzer Zeit nicht mehr die Komplettzylinder ausgetauscht werden müssen, wobei ein Endlosdruck (kanallos) ermöglicht werden soll. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung der Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und aus der Beschreibung in Verbindung mit den Zeichnungen. In diesen Zeigen:

The invention relates to a web-fed rotary printing press according to the preamble of claim 1, as described for example in document EP-A-352 364. Printing machines of this type, in particular for packaging printing, are generally known and have the disadvantage that the relatively heavy cylinders used, which are covered with plates, have to be completely replaced in accordance with the required cylinder sizes, which is naturally complex and expensive. Continuous printing (channelless) is not possible. The object of the invention is therefore to show a new web-fed rotary printing machine, in particular for packaging printing, with which the complete cylinders no longer have to be replaced economically and in a short time, with continuous printing (channelless) being made possible. This object is achieved by applying the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims and from the description in conjunction with the drawings. In these shows:

Die vorliegende Erfindung, insbesondere das im Nachfolgenden beschriebene, auf eine Offsetmaschine gerichtete Ausführungsbeispiel weist bezogen auf den Stand der Technik den wesentlichen Vorteil auf, daß durch die erstmalige Verwendung von Hülsen in derartigen Maschinen eine erhöhte Wirtschafltichkeit hinsichtlich Kosten und ein wesentlich schnellerer Austausch der verwendeten Hülsen möglich ist. Bisher mußten die kompletten Zylinder bei derartigen Maschinen stets in Form von Bauteilen (Cartridges) komplett ausgewechselt werden, was, da diese kompletten Zylinder sehr schwer waren, mit großem Arbeitsaufwand verbunden ist. Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil ist es, daß nunmehr durch die Verwendung von geschlossenen Hülsen der bei den bekannten Maschinen, insbesondere dieser Art, nachteilige Spalt vermieden wird, der durch die Aufspannung von herkömmlichen Gummitüchern und Druckplatten stets benötigt wurde. Dadurch ist eine höhere Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit möglich und ein sogenannter Endlosdruck. Mit den im Nachfolgenden beschriebenen Maschinen ist das Wechseln der Hülsen, d.h. die Umstellung auf unterschiedliche Formate in weniger als 5 Minuten möglich. Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung des Ausführungsbeispiels mit Hilfe der Zeichnungen.The present invention, in particular the embodiment described below, directed to an offset machine, has the essential advantage, based on the prior art, that the first-time use of sleeves in such machines results in increased cost-effectiveness and a much faster exchange of the sleeves used is possible. Up to now, the complete cylinders in such machines always had to be completely replaced in the form of components (cartridges), which, since these complete cylinders were very heavy, involved a great deal of work. Another essential one It is an advantage that the use of closed sleeves now avoids the gap which is disadvantageous in the known machines, in particular of this type, which was always required due to the clamping of conventional rubber blankets and printing plates. This enables a higher working speed and a so-called continuous printing. With the machines described in the following it is possible to change the sleeves, ie change to different formats, in less than 5 minutes. Further advantages result from the following description of the exemplary embodiment with the aid of the drawings.

In dem hier beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel wird lediglich ein einziges Druckwerk einer Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine für Offset (indirekter Druck) beschrieben. Es versteht sich, daß mehrere gleichartige Druckwerke oder Druckwerke auch mit funktionsbedingten Unterschieden gemeinsam verwendet werden können - auch für andere direkte und indirekte Druckverfahren, z.B. Flexo. Jedes der Druckwerke 100 umfaßt eine linke und rechte Seitenwand 1, 2, an denen anstelle der bisher verwendeten Plattenzylinder (Formzylinder) und Gummizylinder (Transfer- bzw. Offsetzylinder) mit austauschbaren Hülsenpaaren unterschiedlicher Größe versehene Wellen verwendet werden. Auf der Plattenzylinderwelle 44 und auf der Gummizylinderwelle 45 sind also jeweils Plattenzylinderhülsen 3 bzw. 3a und Gummizylinderhülsen 4 bzw. 4a aufschiebbar, wobei mit 3 und 4 die größten Hülsenpaare und mit 3a und 3b die kleinsten Hülsenpaare bezeichnet sind.In the exemplary embodiment described here, only a single printing unit of a web-fed rotary printing press for offset (indirect printing) is described. It goes without saying that several similar printing units or printing units can also be used together with functional differences - also for other direct and indirect printing processes, e.g. Flexo. Each of the printing units 100 comprises a left and right side wall 1, 2, on which shafts provided with exchangeable pairs of sleeves of different sizes are used instead of the plate cylinders (form cylinders) and blanket cylinders (transfer or offset cylinders) previously used. Plate cylinder sleeves 3 and 3a and rubber cylinder sleeves 4 and 4a can thus be pushed onto the plate cylinder shaft 44 and on the rubber cylinder shaft 45, 3 and 4 denoting the largest pairs of sleeves and 3a and 3b the smallest pairs of sleeves.

Der Plattenzylinder, bzw. die Plattenzylinderhülse 3, 3a wird, falls es sich, wie im hier beschriebenen Beispiel, um eine Offsetrollenrotationsdruckmaschine handelt, mit Hilfe eines Farbwerkes 6 und eines Feuchtwerkes 7 eingefärbt und gefeuchtet. Das Bild wird nach Einfärben somit von der Plattenzylinderhülse 3 bzw. 3a über die Gummizylinderhülse 4 bzw. 4a auf eine Druckträgerbahn, beispielsweise auf eine dicke Papierbahn 52 übertragen, wobei die Papierbahn 52 so dick ist, daß später die Herstellung von Verpackungen (Verpackungsdruck) gewährleistet ist.The plate cylinder, or the plate cylinder sleeve 3, 3a, if, as in the example described here, is an offset web rotary printing press, is inked and moistened with the aid of an inking unit 6 and a dampening unit 7. After inking, the image is thus transferred from the plate cylinder sleeve 3 or 3a via the rubber cylinder sleeve 4 or 4a to a print carrier web, for example onto a thick paper web 52, the paper web 52 being so thick that later the production of packaging (packaging printing) is ensured is.

Zur Anpassung an die jeweils unterschiedlich großen Hülsenpaare, z.B. 3, 4 in der Maschine sind die Auftragwalzen verschwenkbar und zwar die Farbauftragwalzen 9, 10 um einen ortsfesten angetriebenen Reiber 9a und die Farb/Feuchtauftragwalze 8 um einen ortsfesten Reiber 8a. Die Walzen 7a und 7b sind Feuchtwerkwalzen des Feuchtwerkes 7 und ggf. ebenfalls teilweise schwenkbar.To adapt to the different sized sleeve pairs, e.g. 3, 4 in the machine, the application rollers can be pivoted, specifically the ink application rollers 9, 10 around a stationary driven grater 9a and the ink / dampening application roller 8 around a stationary grater 8a. The rollers 7a and 7b are dampening roller of the dampening unit 7 and possibly also partially pivotable.

In vorteilhafter Weise können entsprechend der jeweils verwendeten Hülsengrößen mit Hilfe von Zylindern, vorzugsweise Luftzylindern 12, 13, 15 die Walzen 8, 9, 10 verschwenkt werden, wobei ihre Position entsprechend der Hülsengröße vorbestimmbar ist. Hierfür sind jeweils Anschläge (Stops) 11, 14, 16 für die Walzen 8, 10 und 9 vorgesehen, wie den Figuren 2 und 3 zu entnehmen ist.In an advantageous manner, the rollers 8, 9, 10 can be pivoted according to the sleeve sizes used in each case with the aid of cylinders, preferably air cylinders 12, 13, 15, their position being predeterminable according to the sleeve size. For this purpose, stops 11, 14, 16 are provided for the rollers 8, 10 and 9, as can be seen in FIGS. 2 and 3.

Fig. 4 und 5 zeigen die Lagerung des mit Hülsen versehenen Plattenzylinders 3 bzw. seiner Welle 44 mit einer Konusverbindung. Letztere ist beidseitig in Plattenzylindertragarmen 17, 18 in Lagern 47, 48 positioniert, wo parallel dazu eine Parallelverbidnungswelle 21 verwendet wird mit abnehmbarer Konusverbindung 24. Die Position der Arme 17, 18, ist durch Fixiervorrichtungen 19, 20 während des Betriebes klemm- bzw. festlegbar. An einer Seite der Wellen 44 sind Zahnräder, vorzugsweise ein schrägverzahntes Zahnrad 22 angeordnet. Das Zahnrad 22 kämmt mit einem ortsfesten Zahnrad 23 und ist um dieses verschwenkbar, wie später nochmals beschrieben wird.4 and 5 show the mounting of the plate cylinder 3 provided with sleeves or its shaft 44 with a conical connection. The latter is positioned on both sides in plate cylinder support arms 17, 18 in bearings 47, 48, where a parallel connecting shaft 21 is used in parallel with a removable cone connection 24. The position of the arms 17, 18 can be clamped or fixed during operation by means of fixing devices 19, 20 . Gears, preferably a helical gear 22, are arranged on one side of the shafts 44. The gear 22 meshes with a fixed gear 23 and is pivotable about this, as will be described again later.

Fig. 6 zeigt die Lagerung des Gummizylinders bzw. der mit auswechselbaren Hülsen versehenen Gummizylinderwelle 45 in Gummizylindertragarmen 29 und 30, wobei auf einer Seite der Gummizylinderwelle 45 wiederum ein Antriebszahnrad 27 angeordnet ist, das mit einem ortsfesten Zahnrad 28 kämmt und um dieses verschwenkbar ist, wie später noch beschrieben wird.6 shows the mounting of the rubber cylinder or the rubber cylinder shaft 45 provided with interchangeable sleeves in rubber cylinder support arms 29 and 30, a drive gear 27 being arranged on one side of the rubber cylinder shaft 45, which meshes with a stationary gear 28 and can be pivoted about it, as will be described later.

Fig. 7 zeigt nochmals die Fixier- bzw.Klemmvorrichtung 19, 20 für den Plattenzylinder mit voreinstellbaren Positionierungsschrauben 31. Das Zahnrad 22 ist auf einer Plattenzylinderarmschwinge 25 mit Konus angeordnet.Fig. 7 again shows the fixing or clamping device 19, 20 for the plate cylinder with adjustable positioning screws 31. The gear wheel 22 is arranged on a plate cylinder arm rocker 25 with a cone.

Es ist zwar auch in vorteilhafter Weise möglich, im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung die Hülsen 3 bzw. 3a und 4 bzw. 4a jeweils außerhalb der Maschine auf den Wellen 44, 45 zu positionieren, wofür in herkömmlicher Weise die Wellen 44, 45 zusammen mit den auf ihnen befindlichen Hülsen aus der Maschine herausnehmbar sein müssen. Ebenso ist es im Rahmen der Erfindung in bevorzugter, vorteilhafter Weise möglich, lediglich eine Plattenzylinderwelle 44 mit einer austauschbaren Platten- bzw. Formzylinderhülse 3, 3a zu verwenden (ohne Gummizylinder) und es ist auch vorteilhaft, im Rahmen der Erfindung die Maschine als Offsetrollenrotationsdruckmaschine, insbesondere für den Verpackungsdruck, auszugestalten, wobei zusätzlich zu dem Platten- bzw. Formzylinder ein Gummi- bzw. Übertragungszylinder verwendet wird, und wobei beide Zylinder in erfindungsgemäßer Weise nicht mit herkömmlichen Platten und Gummitüchern sondern mit Hülsen versehen werden.It is also advantageously possible, in the context of the present invention, to position the sleeves 3 or 3a and 4 or 4a on the shafts 44, 45 outside the machine, for which purpose the shafts 44, 45 together with the sleeves on them must be removable from the machine. Likewise, it is possible within the scope of the invention in a preferred, advantageous manner to use only one plate cylinder shaft 44 with an exchangeable plate or form cylinder sleeve 3, 3a (without a blanket cylinder) and it is also advantageous within the scope of the invention to use the machine as an offset web rotary printing press, in particular for packaging printing, in which a rubber or transfer cylinder is used in addition to the plate or forme cylinder, and both cylinders are provided in the manner according to the invention not with conventional plates and blankets but with sleeves.

Wie aus Fig. 12 am besten hervorgeht, verbleibt bei dem Wechselvorgang der Hülsenpaare 3a, 4a (bzw. 4, 3) jeweils ein Ende (Fig. 12 rechte Seite) der Wellen 44, 45 in den zugeordneten Lagern 48 bzw 49 in den Schwingen 17 bzw. 29, während auf der anderen (linken) Seite gemäß Fig. 4 (und 11) der Plattenzylindertragarm 18 und der Gummizylindertragarm 30 nach links bewegt werden, wodurch die linke Seite der Wellen 44 und 45 freigemacht wird. Durch ggf. entsprechendes Verschwenken der Arme 18, 30 wird somit eine Öffnung 51 in der linken Seitenwand 1 freigelegt, durch die von links (Fig. 12) auf die Plattenzylinderwelle 44 und auf die Gummizylinderwelle 45 Hülsen aufschiebbar sind, beispielsweise das kleinste Hülsenpaar 3a, 4a oder das größte Hülsenpaar 3, 4 oder dazwischenliegende Größen. Nach dem Aufschieben der Hülsenpaare werden die Tragarme 18, 30 wieder nach links in Richtung Seitenwand 1 geschoben, so daß die linken Enden der Wellen 44, 45 wieder fixiert werden. Der Vollständigkeit halber sei noch erwähnt, daß ein herkömmlicher Seitenregistermotor 46 in Fig. 12 gezeigt ist. Auch zeigt Fig. 12 das schrägverzahnte Plattenzylinderantriebsrad 22, mit dem die Registerumfangsverstellung möglich ist und zwar neben dem Plattenzylinderlager 48.As best shown in FIG. 12, one end (FIG. 12 right side) of the shafts 44, 45 remains in the associated bearings 48 and 49 in the rockers during the changing process of the sleeve pairs 3a, 4a (or 4, 3) 17 and 29, respectively, while on the other (left) side of FIG. 4 (and 11), the plate cylinder support arm 18 and the rubber cylinder support arm 30 are moved to the left, thereby clearing the left side of the shafts 44 and 45. By possibly correspondingly pivoting the arms 18, 30, an opening 51 is thus uncovered in the left side wall 1, through which 45 sleeves, for example the smallest pair of sleeves 3a, can be pushed onto the plate cylinder shaft 44 and the rubber cylinder shaft from the left (FIG. 12). 4a or the largest pair of sleeves 3, 4 or sizes in between. After the sleeve pairs have been pushed on, the support arms 18, 30 are again pushed to the left in the direction of the side wall 1, so that the left ends of the shafts 44, 45 are fixed again. For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that a conventional side register motor 46 is shown in FIG. 12 also shows the helical-toothed plate cylinder drive wheel 22 with which the register circumference adjustment is possible, in addition to the plate cylinder bearing 48.

Wie erwähnt, ist die Gummizylinderwelle 44 links und rechts in Lagern 49, 50 in den Gummizylindertragarmen 29, 30 angeordnet. Fig. 12 läßt somit die prinzipielle Funktionsweise des erfindungsgemäßen Druckwerkes am besten erkennen für den Hülsenwechselvorgang.As mentioned, the rubber cylinder shaft 44 is arranged on the left and right in bearings 49, 50 in the rubber cylinder support arms 29, 30. Fig. 12 thus shows the principle of operation of the printing unit according to the invention best for the sleeve changing process.

Wie die Figuren 8, 9 und 11 am besten zeigen, ist es erforderlich, für die verschieden großen Hülsenpaarungen z.B. 3, 4 in erfindungsgemäßer Weise die Plattenzylinderwelle 44 und Gummizylinderwelle 45 unterschiedlich in der Druckmaschine zu positionieren und zwar insbesondere bezogen auf die stationären Antriebsräder 28 und 23, die mit den Rädern 27 und 22 auf den Wellen 45 und 44 kämmen. Zur Anpassung der Lage der Gummizylinderwelle 45 sind Zylinder, insbesondere Luftzylinder 32 vorgesehen, die mit einem der Gummizylindertragarme 29, 30 verbunden sind. Zur Einstellung der Lage des mit einer Hülse 4 oder 4a versehenen Gummizylinders bzw. der Welle 45 wird durch den Zylinder 32 das Rad 27 um das ortsfeste Rad 28 verschwenkt, wobei seine Position durch eine mit einem voreinstellbaren Einschlag 34 versehenen Zylinderpositionierungsschraube 33 festlegbar ist, die ebenfalls mit den Gummizylindertragarmen 29 und 30 verbunden sind und in entsprechender Weise wird die Lage der Plattenzylinderwelle 44 dadurch festgelegt, daß das Zahnrad 22 mit dem ortsfesten Zahnrad 23 kämmt und die Arme 17, 18 sind durch Anschläge 31 in der Bewegung begrenzt. Fig. 8 zeigt die größte verwendete Hülsenpaarung also die größte Plattenzylinderhülse 3 und die größte Gummizylinderhülse 4, und Fig. 9 zeigt die kleinste Hülsenpaarung also die kleinstmöglich verwendbare Plattenzylinderhülse 3a und Gummizylinderhülse 4a.As best shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 11, it is necessary to use e.g. 3, 4 to position the plate cylinder shaft 44 and rubber cylinder shaft 45 differently in the printing press in the manner according to the invention, in particular with reference to the stationary drive wheels 28 and 23, which mesh with the wheels 27 and 22 on the shafts 45 and 44. To adjust the position of the rubber cylinder shaft 45, cylinders, in particular air cylinders 32, are provided which are connected to one of the rubber cylinder support arms 29, 30. To adjust the position of the rubber cylinder provided with a sleeve 4 or 4a or the shaft 45, the wheel 27 is pivoted about the stationary wheel 28 by the cylinder 32, its position being fixable by a cylinder positioning screw 33 provided with a pre-adjustable wrench 34, which are also connected to the rubber cylinder support arms 29 and 30 and in a corresponding manner the position of the plate cylinder shaft 44 is determined in that the gear 22 meshes with the fixed gear 23 and the arms 17, 18 are limited by stops 31 in motion. FIG. 8 shows the largest pair of sleeves used, that is, the largest plate cylinder sleeve 3 and the largest rubber cylinder sleeve 4, and FIG. 9 shows the smallest pair of sleeves, that is, the smallest possible usable plate cylinder sleeve 3a and rubber cylinder sleeve 4a.

Der Vollständigkeit halber sei noch unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 11 darauf hingewiesen, daß die ortsfesten Reiber 8a und 9a durch Zahnräder 38, 40 antreibbar sind, wobei der Antrieb über ein Zahnrad 37 eingeführt wird und auch weitere Zahnräder 39, 41 sowie nicht näher bezeichnete Zahnräder des Farbwerkes 6 antreibt. Nicht angetrieben sind die verschwenkbaren Auftragwalzen 8, 9, 10. Darüber hinaus läßt auch Fig. 11 den Hauptantrieb 42 erkennen, der ein Zwischenrad 28 und ein Zahnrad 27 antreibt sowie einen Motor 43 für das Umfangsregister. Der Gegendruckzylinder 5, der auf Gegendruckzylindertragarmen 35 angeordnet ist, ist lagemäßig über Anschläge 37 voreinstellbar und durch einen Luftzylinder 36 bewegbar.For the sake of completeness, it should also be pointed out with reference to FIG. 11 that the stationary friction devices 8a and 9a can be driven by gearwheels 38, 40, the drive being introduced via a gearwheel 37 and also further gearwheels 39, 41 as well as gearwheels not specified in any more detail the inking unit 6 drives. The pivotable applicator rollers 8, 9, 10 are not driven. In addition, FIG. 11 also shows the main drive 42, which an intermediate wheel 28 and a gear 27 drives and a motor 43 for the circumferential register. The impression cylinder 5, which is arranged on impression cylinder support arms 35, can be preset in position via stops 37 and can be moved by an air cylinder 36.

Die Innendurchmesser der Hülsen weisen vorzugsweise bei allen Hülsengrößen das gleiche Maß auf. Das Verlängern der Welle über die Seitenwand 2 hinaus kann bei breiten Maschinen günstig sein, da dadurch die "frei schwebenden" bzw. nur einseitig gehaltenen Wellen beim Hülsenwechsel besser gehalten werden können.The inner diameters of the sleeves are preferably the same for all sleeve sizes. Extending the shaft beyond the side wall 2 can be advantageous for wide machines, since this allows the "free-floating" or only one-sided shafts to be better held when changing the sleeves.
