Definitions

  • the invention relates to a print quality control device for a perfecting and rotary printing press according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • On-line print quality control devices for rotary printing presses are e.g. B. become known by the generic EP 01 94 331 A1 or US 44 88 808 A1. These two documents describe in detail quality control devices for straight printing.
  • Another known type works with two stacked jibs placed one behind the other, to which the sheets are fed in opposite directions, so that one side of the stack is the face side, the other side the back side is on top for visual quality control. High machine outputs are possible here, but the machines become considerably longer and more expensive with two stacks.
  • the object of the invention is to create a print quality control device on a perfecting and reverse printing rotary printing press, preferably a sheet-fed rotary printing press, by means of which it is possible to make do with only a single high or low stack delivery.
  • paper sheets 1 are printed in a known manner in perfect and reverse printing. H. printed on both sides.
  • the sheets 1 are transferred from the last printing unit to a sheet delivery device 2 known per se.
  • the sheet delivery device 2 takes over and transports the sheets 1 by means of controlled gripper rows (not shown), and the sheets 1 are deposited on a stacking device 3 by opening the gripper rows.
  • the rows of grippers are mounted on known gripper carriages, which are attached to two endless chains 4. Sprockets 6 driven by the main drive of the machine ensure the synchronous drive of the sprockets 6 to the machine.
  • a typical feature of the sheet delivery devices 2 is that they have a longer straight sheet transport path 7 which rises upwards and adjoins the chain wheels 6.
  • flash light source 9 is provided, which is arranged at a distance outside the detection cone of a video camera 13 in the sheet side 12 printed in reverse printing. Flash light source 9 and video camera 13 are synchronized with each other.
  • the video camera 13 is arranged at a distance from a movement track of the sheets 1.
  • the video camera 13 is equipped as a stationary system with a CCD area sensor and the guide beam strikes the top of the sheet at a right angle. The distance and focal length of the video camera are chosen so that the entire surface of a sheet of maximum format is captured with a single "shot".
  • a z. B. at the shaft end of the sprocket 6 arranged encoder 14 is provided.
  • This encoder 14 makes a photoelectronic triggering device “armed” which can be implemented as mark or edge or print start detection optoelectronics. Now detects the mark or edge or start of print detection optoelectronics in the "window phase” in which it is “sharp” via the encoder 14, the intended printed print mark 18 or the leading edge of the sheet or another freely selectable printed mark Line or the beginning of printing, the signal obtained is passed to the microprocessor unit and this triggers a control command to actuate the flash unit 9 and the video camera 13.
  • control pulses 17 are emitted by the microprocessor unit 16 to the electrical control of the machine, which activates the signals for the operator or a marking device in order to mark the rejected sheet or to activate a known sheet ejection device .
  • a flash light source 11 is arranged at a greater distance, a second video camera 19 with an optical system and a CCD area sensor.
  • the arrangement and function and activation of video camera 19, flash light source 11 and encoder 21 are the same as described for flash light source 9, video camera 13 and encoder 14.
  • the mark or edge or print start detection device is also the same as that described above.
  • an encoder 21 assigned to the camera 19 is driven by the shaft of the chain wheels 6.
  • the encoders 14 and 21 are connected to the microprocessor unit 16 in terms of switching technology. Control, control and error evaluation are the same in both video camera systems for perfecting.
  • the inventive arrangement of the two video cameras with surface CCD sensors in the ascending part of the sheet delivery it is possible to control both the front and back of the sheet before placing the sheet on the stack in terms of print quality.
  • the sheet control device is switched to plan in order to record the "good" print pattern as a setpoint and to store it pixel by pixel in the microprocessor.
  • the light sources 9, 11 are flashing light devices.
  • the video cameras 13 and 19 are arranged so that they take an overall picture when no gripper carriage passes through the picture.
  • sheet guide rods can be provided, on which the sheet is to be included in the "good" printing pattern as a setpoint and stored pixel by pixel in the microprocessor.
  • the light sources 9, 11 are flashing light devices.
  • the video cameras 13 and 19 are arranged so that they take an overall picture when no gripper carriage passes through the picture.
  • sheet guide rods can be provided on which the sheet slides in its pressure-free spaces.
  • the brand of edge or print start opto-electronics is integrated in the video camera housing and in its electronic circuit.
  • suction rings pressurized with suction air can also be used, which also act on the bend in pressure-free rooms.
  • the peripheral speed of the suction rings is slightly lower than the arc speed. As a result, the sheet can be kept taut between the gripper rows and the suction rings during the measurement phase.
