Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement of rollers in a folder of a web-fed rotary printing press.
  • the invention relates to an array of rollers for feeding a plurality of printed webs or web strands as a multi-ply web to a draw roll pair located above a former in a folder of a web-fed rotary printing press.
  • a plurality of printed webs or webs are usually passed over a corresponding number of gathering rollers to superimpose the strands before being fed as a multi-ply web to a pair of draw rollers which extend above a former Longitudinal folds of the multilayer web is arranged.
  • the tension rollers comprise a driven metal roller, usually a steel roller, and a non-driven rubber or urethane roller which is pressed against the driven metal roller with an adjustable force to alter the friction between the layered web and the driven metal roller to regulate the tension of the layered web before it passes the former.
  • the merge rolls and the draw rolls located on top of the former are arranged so that the layered web is guided at an angle to the nip of the draw rolls.
  • the layered web either wraps around both draw rolls or wraps around the circumference of one of the draw rolls while only peripherally contacting the other draw roll.
  • the strands of the layered web which are passed over the outside of the wrapped draw roll are drawn off faster than those which are passed over the inside of the roll because their distance from the center of the roll is greater.
  • the draw rollers behind the former wrinkles and other undesirable irregularities of the printed and folded products can occur, which can seriously affect the quality of the printed products.
  • European Patent Application EP 0 747 312 A1 discloses a folder comprising an assembly of gathering and drawing rollers for feeding at least two webs as a multi-ply web to a feed roll disposed above a former for folding the layered web.
  • the stratified web is fed at an angle to the feed roller, the feed roller being formed by a single guide roller which is not in contact with any other roller and therefore does not permit regulation of web tension.
  • US 5,398,604 discloses a draw roller assembly comprising a driven, rotatably mounted in a frame transport roller and an associated draw roller with a removable sleeve, which consists of elastic material.
  • the press roll is rotatably mounted in pivotable arms and can be brought by means of a pneumatic actuator with the conventionally designed driven transport roller in contact.
  • JP-A-5-330733 discloses gathering rollers, a pair of rollers and a former, which are arranged substantially in a plane.
  • Another object of the present invention is to eliminate the occurrence of wrinkles and other undesirable imperfections in the printed product caused by the radius effect of transporting a layered, multi-ply web through the nip of a draw roll pair that folds longitudinally above a former the layered web is located.
  • an array of rollers in a folder of a web-fed rotary printing press comprises a plurality of gathering rollers for moving a plurality of incoming strands along a line substantially tangent to the plurality of gathering rollers, and thereby a multilayer web and further comprising first and second tension rollers both provided with a coating of resilient material and arranged to guide the multilayer web through a nip formed between the tension rollers and substantially tangential to each of the tension rollers runs.
  • roller arrangement according to the invention allows precise and safe transport of the layered, multi-ply web to and via a downstream former, resulting in a higher accuracy of longitudinal folding performed on the layered web as it passes over the former is guided.
  • a roll assembly 1 for feeding a layered or multi-ply web 2, including two, three or more superimposed printed single strands 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, to a former 36 in a printing press (not shown) of a printing press a plurality of merge or take-off rolls 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, over which the respective incoming strands 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d are guided.
  • the strands 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d are z. B. printed with different images in associated (not shown) printing units, which are seen upstream of the folder in the direction of the strands 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d.
  • the convergence rollers 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d are preferably non-driven guide rollers, as known from and used in conventional folders. Alternatively, the convergence rollers 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d may also be rollers which are driven individually or in pairs by one or more electric motors (not shown).
  • the convergence rollers 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d are preferably made of an inelastic material, for example steel or aluminum, but may also be coated with a layer of elastic material, such as rubber or urethane.
  • the Georgiaglasswalzen 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d are arranged so that each of the strands 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d is guided along a line 6, which is indicated in Fig. 1 by dashed lines, and which is substantially tangential to the Georgiatechnischwalzen 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d.
  • the convergence rollers 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d are aligned so that the circumferential lines 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, at which the strands 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d respectively contact with the associated Georgia Montwalze 4a, 4b, 4c , 4d, are disposed substantially along the line 6 which is substantially tangential to each of the convergence rollers 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d so that the multilayer web 2 extends substantially along the line of contact 6.
  • the multilayer web 2 which is formed by the superimposed strands 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, for example, as described above, is then guided to a nip 10, which is formed between a first draw roller 12 and an associated second draw roller 14.
  • the first drawing roller 12 and the second drawing roller 14 are arranged so that the contact line 6 is located substantially in the center of the gap 10 and a line 16 which passes through the centers of the first drawing roller 12 and the second Pull roller 14 extends, is substantially perpendicular to the contact line 6.
  • the draw rolls 12, 14 are arranged in such a manner that the multilayer web 2 is in each case tangential to the first and second draw rolls 12, 14 without winding around the circumference of one of the draw rolls 12, 14 when the web 2 is transported through the center of the nip 12.
  • the first draw roll 12 is a driven roll having a core or body 18 provided with a lining 20 of resilient material such as rubber or urethane.
  • the coating or coating 20 is preferably formed by an endless sleeve, which may be connected to the core 18 by adhesive or by means of a notch connection 22 indicated schematically.
  • the second draw roll 14 is preferably of the same design as the first draw roll 12 and has a core or body 24 of inelastic material, preferably steel or aluminum, and a coating or coating 26 of elastic material, adhesively or by means of a notched joint 22 the body 24 is connected.
  • the coating 26 of the second draw roller 14 is also preferably made of a continuous rubber or polyurethane sleeve.

  • the second draw roller 14 is a non-driven roller rotatably supported in pivotable arms 28.
  • the pivotable arms 28 may be rotated about an axis 30 by means of a known actuator, for example a pneumatic cylinder 32, to bring the second draw roller 14 into and out of contact with the first draw roller 12.
  • a known actuator for example a pneumatic cylinder 32
  • the pressure force between the two tension rollers 12, 14 can be varied to regulate the tension or tension of the layered web 2.
  • the symmetrical deformation of the resilient coatings 20 and 26 of the first and second tension rollers 12, 14 provide a substantially constant surface speed of the two coatings 20, 26 throughout the contact region 34a, 34b in which the coatings 20, 26 are in contact, respectively with the multilayer web 2 are.
  • the multi-ply web 2 After the multi-ply web 2 has passed through the nip 10, it is fed to a conventional former 36 and another pair of nip rollers 40 which may be located to longitudinally fold the web 2 under the former 36.
