Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for changing of printing forms on cylinders of printing machines, the one Includes swiveling printing forme loading unit
  • Printing form feed and a printing form removal unit includes, the printing forme loading unit in a Working position on the channel of a printing form cylinder with Clamping devices and pivotable into a loading position is in which the printing form loading unit from the working position withdrawn.
  • a plate holding unit is replaced by one above of the printing unit arranged bevel gear moved.
  • a rack on the rear part of the Plate holding unit is provided, meshes with one on one Bevel gear shaft arranged gear, creating a Vertical movement of the plate holding unit can be achieved.
  • EP 0 530 577 A1 discloses a device for positioning one for automatic plate change Magazine.
  • a magazine that can be moved into several positions inserts with this concept fits harmoniously into the overall machine on. It can be a printing plate change position, a Position for the exchange of the printing plates in the magazine, as well a service and a normal operating position become.
  • the magazine can be moved in a vertical guide and pivotable about a horizontal axis; are also Drives for moving and tilting the magazine intended. With this configuration, the cover is Delivery side of a sheetfed printing unit in the Normal operating position of the magazine can be reached, so that it as Protection acts.
  • EP 0 520 594 A1 shows a printing form changing device Printing machines.
  • a printing form magazine is between one Working and a loading position pivoted.
  • On the end of the magazine facing the printing unit rotatable rollers provided when changing the printing form - ie when placing the magazine on the clamping device of the Printing forme cylinders - the magazine on the printing form cylinder support the magazine during the printing plate change Hold position.
  • the advantage of the solution according to the invention is above all the fact that in the contact area between the printing form and the holding element when removing the old and feeding the new one Printing form on moving adjustment elements can be dispensed with can, because the inherent elasticity of the printing form both when Losing weight is also used when applying.
  • the Swiveling of the printing form magazine allows unimpeded Access to the printing unit and unhindered access to the Magazine in its loading position - for example from a platform out.
  • Entry area of the holding element to the printing form removal compartment assign the printing form loading unit, so that a continuous Funding level is created.
  • the funding agencies are on Holding element stored such that it is in the conveying plane of the Pass in the printing form removal compartment.
  • a protective device can be inactive - during the printing form change - to support the Printing form loading unit used, a separate Support device or employment at the Printing unit cylinders can be omitted.
  • To customize the Printing form on the surface of the printing form cylinder can be a roller already in the machine - for example the dampening roller - be used; A separate Pressure unit can be omitted.
  • each in the Printing form loading unit located printing forms takes place over Locks, each via a separate actuator can be activated.
  • detents are in Embodiment biased lever or hook provided. These can be moved on guides or stationary in the Printing form loading unit must be included.
  • the swiveling printing form loading unit 2 comprises a Printing form removal tray 2.1 and a printing form feed tray 2.2.
  • a movable locking device 3 is provided, with which one too removing printing form 14 completely into the Printing form removal compartment 2.1 can be drawn in.
  • Means a hook 4 is a printing form 14 to be applied - with angled front and rear edge 15, 16 - in a vertical Position held in the printing form feeder 2.2.
  • the trailing edge 16 is by an actuator 23 moving the hook 4 releasable.
  • a swivel unit 21 - here represented schematically as a piston / cylinder unit - can the printing form loading unit 2 about a pivot axis 24 and one Breakpoint 26 can be made to a holding element 5.
  • the Printing form loading unit 2 has above the Printing form removal compartment 2.1 via an actuating unit 29, with which the locking 3 by means of a link guide 31st is displaceable parallel to the printing form removal compartment 2.1.
  • the lock 3 comprises a rotatably mounted lever 30, which is made resilient by means of a biasing element 28 and the trailing edge 16 one in that Printing form removal compartment 2.1 incoming to be removed Printing form 14 takes hold.
  • a Protection device 8 which also serves as a support for the printing form loading unit swiveled into its working position 2 serves as a holding element 5 is provided.
  • the Holding element 5 and the protective device 8 are both over Actuators 18 and 20 pivotable - it may be the actuators 18 and 20 as Pneumatic cylinders, electric motors or the like to train. The same applies to an actuating unit 19, with which a roller 7 to the surface of the Printing form cylinder 12 can be turned on and off again.
  • pivotable holding element 5 has an upper Guide surface 9 and a lower guide surface 11, between which a funnel-shaped inlet area 13 is formed is.
  • pivotable holding element 5 has an upper Guide surface 9 and a lower guide surface 11, between which a funnel-shaped inlet area 13 is formed is.
  • Fig. 2 shows the printing form loading unit 2 in the Holding element employed state.
  • the actuator 18 pivots the Protection device 8 such that this as a support for front part of the printing form loading unit 2 is used.
  • the Conveyors 6 take the rear of the new printing form 22 to be applied; then by the Actuator 23 of the hook 4 actuated so that the Trailing edge 16 of the printing form 22 in the Printing form feed compartment 2.2 is exposed.
  • the Actuating unit 19 now turns on the roller 7 the surface of those on the printing form cylinder 12 Printing form 14.
  • This roller 7 can already be one act existing roller, such as one Moist application roller or similar, at least it is not separate pressure roller required.
  • the printing cylinder 12 slowly rotate backwards until the channel 17 of the lower guide surface 11 of the Holding element 5 is opposite. Then there is the automatic Clamping device 1 clears the rear edge 16 of the printing form 14, to immediately close again, to the To continue to fix the leading edge 15.
  • the trailing edge 16 runs into the inlet area 13, through which they according to Fig. 3 in the printing form removal 2.1 to the Holding element 5 provided printing form loading unit 2 arrives.
  • the front area is the printing form 22 to be applied by the conveying devices 6 seized below the holding element 5, the new to be applied printing form 22 is in Printing form feed tray 2.2 fixed. Supported by the to the Surface of the printing plate to be removed 7 the printing plate 14 is inserted into the Printing form removal compartment 2.1 of the printing form loading unit 2.
  • Printing form cylinder 12 printing form 14 to be removed by a Actuator 29 in the printing form removal compartment 2.1 to its End is promoted.
  • the actuator 29 is with a Link guide 31, on which the locking device 3 including the pretensioned lever 30.
  • the removed one In this way, printing form 14 becomes entry area 13 removed the holding element 5, with which the front area of the already seized, new ones to be applied 6 to the surface of the Printing forme cylinder 12 is turned on.
  • a roller 7 to be set against the printing form 22 according to FIG. 7 facilitates the mounting of the printing form 22 considerably and nestles against the curvature of the surface of the Printing forme cylinder 12.
  • the rear edge 16 is approached the new printing form 22 to the Give conveyors 6 below the holding element 5 this completely free the printing form 22, so that this supported by the roller 7 on the circumference of the Printing form cylinder 12 arrives. Since the inside of the Printing form feed compartment 2.2 and printing form removal compartment 2.1 with the top of the printing form, which reduces friction Coating is damage to the Printing forms excluded.
