Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control circuit for at least one printing unit of an offset sheet-fed printing machine containing a dampening and inking unit, the printing unit having a film dampening unit with a dampening application roller which can be adjusted to a plate cylinder and at least one inking application roller which can also be adjusted to the plate cylinder is provided with an inking roller .
  • Printing units with these features are common.
  • a printing unit is provided for each color and the printing units are usually spaced apart from one another and connected to one another in the machine via transfer systems.
  • the specified rollers are conventionally prepared for printing as follows: First of all, all rollers are driven to rotate. All rollers are switched off from the plate cylinder so that it is neither pre-moistened nor pre-inked. Then the dampening roller is placed on the dipping roller and at the same time on the plate cylinder, so that the plate cylinder is pre-moistened at increased speed. At the same time, a bridge roller makes contact between the dampening roller and the first of a series of inking rollers, so that the inking rollers are now also pre-moistened. The pre-inked and pre-moistened inking rollers are then also placed on the plate cylinder and printing can begin.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a control circuit for a printing unit with the features mentioned at the outset, which leads to a noticeably reduced amount of waste without the print quality suffering as a result.
  • the invention is characterized in that the dampening roller is pre-moistened without contact with the plate cylinder or with the inking roller or rollers, whereupon the pre-moistened dampening roller, which is still in contact with the immersion roller, the transfer roller or the distributor roller of the film dampening unit the plate cylinder is turned on, which is thereby pre-moistened without moisture being transferred to the inking roller (s), whereupon the inking roller (s) are placed on the plate cylinder, which is thereby pre-moistened and pre-inked, whereupon printing begins.
  • All switching points (instead of the plate cylinder) should lie in the passage of the channel of the plate cylinder, so that no streaking occurs on the printed image on contact, which would otherwise be caused by the speed difference that is inevitable when the plate is turned on.
  • the essence of the invention is therefore that the measures described ensure that the dampening roller is pre-moistened well and then transfers the moisture to the plate cylinder without the inking rollers being pre-moistened at the same time. Rather, these are only pre-inked and the pre-inked inking rollers are then brought into contact with the directly pre-moistened plate cylinder, whereupon printing can begin.
  • the measures according to claim 11 have the effect that no over-coloring can occur.
  • a bridge roller is usually provided, which establishes the connection between the dampening unit and the first of the row of inking rollers.
  • the bridge roller therefore lies against the dampening roller and can be placed against the first inking roller of the inking unit. It should be mentioned that such a bridge roller need not necessarily be provided in the control circuit according to the invention.
  • Such a bridge roller can also be placed on the first inking roller after the plate cylinder has been pre-moistened and pre-inked. However, it can also remain parked on the first inking roller.
  • the inking rollers should be separated from the plate cylinder and possibly also from the dampening unit, so that only the dampening unit remains in contact with the plate at low speed. If a bridge roller is present, it also separates from the inking unit, so that too much dampening solution cannot get into the ink.
  • control circuit according to the invention and the process sequence according to the invention only add color when a sheet takes off the color.
  • the plate is pre-moistened with the correct amount of moisture, which is sufficient for one turn of the plate cylinder. Only then are the pre-colored inking rollers, which have not previously come into contact with the dampness of the dampening system, placed on the plate cylinder and transfer their color to the plate cylinder or to the printing plate clamped on the plate cylinder.
  • a plurality of ink application rollers 1 are provided, each of which is adjoined by ink distributor rollers 2. These rollers are part of an inking unit (not shown) of the printing unit in question.
  • a bridge roller 3 is provided, which bears against a dampening roller 4 here.
  • a dipping roller 5 dips into a wet box 8 and a dosing roller 6 bears against the dipping roller 5.
  • a plate cylinder 7 is shown, on the circumference of which a printing plate - not shown in the drawing - is clamped.
  • the plate cylinder rotates in the direction of arrow 9.
  • Fig. 1 the dampening and inking unit is turned off. This is the machine standstill. If the machine is switched on, all rollers and cylinders are driven to rotate, which is not shown in the drawing. The immersion and metering rollers 5, 6 are already in rotation when the dampening unit is switched on.
  • rollers that were activated during the step in question are outlined in black and hatched.
  • the dampening roller 4 is pre-moistened at an increased speed.
  • she is employed on the dipping roller 5. Two turns of the dampening roller are sufficient for this, corresponding to one turn of the plate cylinder 7 by approximately 232 °.
  • the dampening roller 4 and the plate cylinder 7 or its printing plate are pre-moistened.
  • the printing plate of the plate cylinder 7 is pre-moistened and pre-inked.
  • the inking rollers 1 are set on the plate cylinder 7. This setting of the inking rollers 1 takes place, based on the plate cylinder 7, 605 ° before the "pressure on" signal.
  • the bridge roller 3 can also be placed on the first inking roller 1 and this situation is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the employed bridge roller 3 thus makes the contact from the dampening unit to the inking unit.
  • the switching point of the bridge roller lies after inking the plate cylinder and before printing begins.
  • the advantages of the method according to the invention lie in particular in the fact that the individual components of the printing unit are switched in such a way that the plate cylinder is optimally prepared for printing the first sheet, so that the first sheet already achieves an optimum in print quality and a Minimum waste is incurred. All components involved can also be switched individually. The switching sequence was determined empirically. The variability of the system ensures that user-specific process requirements can be met.
  • the process sequence for a multicolour printing machine is thus as follows.
  • the sheet transport is started.
  • the plate cylinder is pre-moistened over 360 ° and then the inking rollers 1 switch to the plate cylinder 7, so that it is pre-inked for 605 ° before the "pressure on" signal.
  • Pre-moistening is initiated after the blowing air / suction air of the feeder coupling is applied and after the corresponding revolutions.
  • An additional sheet detection such as a sensor, in the path of sheet transport in front of the first printing unit is provided, however, controls the sheet travel, so that in the event of an interruption in printing, only the first printing unit and at most the second printing unit can enter the pre-dampening phase described. All usual interventions by the operator do not prevent the printing units from being technically prepared properly when restarted.
  • the printing plate is optimally prepared with dampening solution and ink. If the pressure is interrupted, a certain amount of over-humidification or under-humidification is unavoidable and is then dosed precisely.
  • dampening systems are, as described above,
  • the third dampening unit is therefore activated shortly before the sheet reaches the second printing unit.
