Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zusatzeinrichtung für ein Druckwerk, die in einer Arbeitsposition an das Druckwerk angestellt und in mindestens einer Wartungsposition aus dem Bereich des Druckwerks entfernt ist, wobei die Zusatzeinrichtung mittels eines Schwenkmechanismus an der Druckmaschine befestigt ist.The invention relates to an additional device for a printing unit, which is in a working position hired to the printing unit and in at least one maintenance position the area of the printing unit is removed, the additional device by means of a Swivel mechanism is attached to the printing press.

Da der Bauraum von Druckwerken, vor allem bei Offsetdruckmaschinen für zahlreiche notwendige Druckwerksbestandteile wie das Farbwerk und in der Regel auch das Feuchtwerk benötigt wird, ist es oft nicht möglich Zusatzeinrichtungen fest zu installieren. Daher besteht das Bedürfnis nach Zusatzeinrichtungen, die wahlweise angestellt, jedoch für Wartungsarbeiten, Druckplatten- oder Farbwechsel entfernt werden können, um diese notwendigen Arbeiten am Druckwerk vornehmen zu können.Because the installation space of printing units, especially for offset printing machines for numerous necessary printing unit components such as the inking unit and usually also that Dampening unit is required, it is often not possible to permanently install additional devices. Therefore, there is a need for additional equipment that can be however can be removed for maintenance work, printing plate or color change, in order to be able to carry out the necessary work on the printing unit.

Die US 5 630 363 schlägt vor, eine solche Zusatzeinrichtung an einem auf der Oberseite des Druckwerks befestigten Schwenkarm anzuordnen, um sie über das Druckwerk schwenken zu können. Dieser Lösung steht jedoch entgegen, daß der Raum an der Oberseite des Druckwerks oft nicht zur Verfügung steht, weil sich dort bereits andere Einrichtungen befinden, oder der Raum für solche frei gehalten werden muß. Im Übrigen erschwert die vorgeschlagene Lösung die Zugänglichkeit zum Farbwerk und kann mit Druckplattenwechseleinrichtungen kollidieren. Eine derartige Schwenkung einer Zusatzeinrichtung nach oben benötigt viel Raum oberhalb der Maschine und könnte in niedrigen Räumen nicht eingesetzt werden.US 5 630 363 proposes such an additional device on one on the top the swivel arm attached to arrange to move them over the printing unit to be able to pivot. This solution stands in the way of the fact that the space on the Top of the printing unit is often not available because there are already others Facilities are located, or the space must be kept free for such. Furthermore the proposed solution complicates access to the inking unit and can collide with pressure plate changing devices. Such a pivoting one Additional equipment upwards takes up a lot of space above the machine and could be in low rooms are not used.

Ein weiterer Vorschlag besteht darin, die Zusatzeinrichtung in eine Vertikalposition zur Seite zu schwenken. Da die meisten Zusatzeinrichtungen jedoch in das Druckwerk hineingreifen müssen, ist dieser Vorschlag nur für wenige Anwendungen brauchbar. Der Schwenkweg in die Vertikalposition benötigt, ebenso wie der von der US 5 630 363 vorgeschlagene Schwenkweg, viel Zeit, zumal es für viele Arbeiten, wie den Druckplattenwechsel, ausreichen würde, die Zusatzeinrichtung lediglich ein kleines Stück vom Druckwerk zu entfernen. Another proposal is to place the attachment in a vertical position Swivel side. However, since most of the additional devices reach into the printing unit need, this proposal is only useful for a few applications. The Swivel path required in the vertical position, as well as that of US 5 630 363 suggested swivel path, a lot of time, especially since it is for a lot of work, such as changing the printing plate, would suffice, the additional device only a small piece to remove from the printing unit.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Zusatzeinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, daß sie innerhalb kürzester Zeit in einen Bereich der Druckmaschine verbracht werden kann, in dem sie die vorzunehmenden Arbeiten am Druckwerk nicht stört, in dem der erforderliche Raum vorhanden ist und auch für weitere Zusatzeinrichtungen nicht freigehalten werden muß.The invention is therefore based on the object of an additional device at the beginning mentioned type in such a way that they are within a short time in an area the press can be spent doing the work to be done does not interfere with the printing unit in which the required space is available and also for other additional devices do not have to be kept free.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Schwenkmechanismus im Bereich einer Seitenwand des Druckwerks derart angeordnet ist, daß die Zusatzeinrichtung in eine Vertikalposition neben der Seitenwand verbringbar ist, und daß mindestens eine Linearführung vor der Seitenwand derart angeordnet ist, daß die Zusatzeinrichtung in eine vom Druckwerk entfernte Horizontalposition verschiebbar ist.The object is achieved in that the pivot mechanism in Area of a side wall of the printing unit is arranged such that the additional device can be brought into a vertical position next to the side wall, and that at least a linear guide is arranged in front of the side wall such that the additional device is displaceable in a horizontal position distant from the printing unit.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung ist es möglich, die Zusatzeinrichtung je nach Bedarf in eine von zwei Wartepositionen zu verbringen. Für viele Arbeiten am Druckwerk, insbesondere für den Druckplattenwechsel, reicht eine horizontale Verschiebung der Zusatzeinrichtung aus. Durch diese horizontale Verschiebung wird die Zusatzeinrichtung parallel zu den Zylindern von diesen weg bewegt. Folgt bei einer Mehrfarbendruckmaschine ein weiteres Druckwerk, so wird die Zusatzeinrichtung in den Gang zwischen den Druckwerken hineinbewegt. Die horizontale Verschiebung benötigt nur eine äußerst kurze Zeit, so daß die Maschinenstillstandszeit, zum Beispiel für den Druckplattenwechsel, nicht verlängert wird, und es daher zu keiner Beeinträchtigung der wirtschaftlichen Rentabilität der Maschine kommt. Für größere Wartungsarbeiten, wie die Reinigung des Druckwerks, Gummituchwechsel usw. kann die Zusatzeinrichtung in einen Bereich verbracht werden, in dem sie für diese Arbeiten völlig aus dem Weg ist und in dem weder Kollisionsprobleme mit anderen Zusatzeinrichtungen auftreten, noch der Raum von diesen eingenommen wird bzw. für solche freigehalten werden muß. Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Vorschlag entsteht kein weiterer Raumbedarf oberhalb des Druckwerks, so daß es möglich ist, eine Maschinenhöhe von ca. 2,60 m auch bei großen Druckmaschinen einzuhalten, so daß diese auch in Druckereien mit geringer Deckenhöhe eingesetzt werden können. The solution according to the invention makes it possible to vary the additional device Need to spend in one of two waiting positions. For a lot of work on the printing unit, a horizontal shift is sufficient, especially for changing the printing plates the additional device. This horizontal shift makes the additional device moved parallel to the cylinders away from them. Follows on a multi-color press another printing unit, so the additional device is in the aisle moved between the printing units. The horizontal shift only needs an extremely short time so that the machine downtime, for example for the Printing plate change, is not extended, and therefore it does not affect the economic profitability of the machine comes. For major maintenance work, such as cleaning the printing unit, changing the blanket, etc. can be done in an area where she is completely out of the way for this work and in which there are neither collision problems with other accessories, nor the space is occupied by them or must be kept free for them. The proposal according to the invention does not require any further space above of the printing unit, so that it is possible to have a machine height of approx. 2.60 m large printing presses to be adhered to, so that even in printing plants with less Ceiling height can be used.

Dadurch daß sowohl eine Horizontalverschiebung wie eine Schwenkung der Zusatzeinrichtung möglich sind, ist es kein Problem, wenn eine Zusatzeinrichtung in das Druckwerk eingreift. Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung bietet die Möglichkeit, daß die Zusatzeinrichtung vor der Schwenkung in die Vertikalposition horizontal mindestens soweit verschoben wird, daß sie nicht mehr in das Druckwerk eingreift.Characterized in that both a horizontal displacement and a pivoting of the additional device possible, it is not a problem if an additional device in the printing unit intervenes. The solution according to the invention offers the possibility that the additional device shifted horizontally at least as far before pivoting into the vertical position is that it no longer intervenes in the printing unit.

Zweckmäßigerweise wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Schwenkmechanismus und die Linearführung an der Seitenwand der Antriebsseite angeordnet sind. Dadurch wird die Bedienseite freigehalten, die weggeschwenkte Zusatzeinrichtung stört am wenigsten und ist auch nicht im Weg, wenn eine Bedienperson zwischen die Druckwerke treten will.It is expediently proposed that the swivel mechanism and the linear guide are arranged on the side wall of the drive side. This will make the The operator side is kept clear, the pivoted additional device is the least annoying and is not in the way when an operator steps between the printing units want.

Insbesondere, wenn es sich bei Zusatzeinrichtungen um Bebilderungseinrichtungen handelt, müssen solche Zusatzeinrichtungen äußerst exakt positioniert werden, damit eine derartige Bebilderung mit dem Maschinenregister übereinstimmt. Deshalb wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Zusatzeinrichtung mittels einer Zentriereinrichtung exakt in der Arbeitsposition positionierbar ist. Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, daß eine Verriegelungseinrichtung die Zusatzeinrichtung mit einer Haltekraft in der zentrierten Stellung arretiert. Dadurch ist jegliche Relativbewegung zwischen der Bebilderungseinrichtung und beispielsweise dem Plattenzylinder ausgeschlossen, auch Schwingungen können nicht zu einer solchen Relativbewegung führen.Especially if additional devices are imaging devices acts, such additional devices must be positioned extremely precisely so such an illustration agrees with the machine register. That is why proposed that the additional device by means of a centering device exactly in the Working position is positionable. Furthermore, it can be provided that a locking device the additional device with a holding force in the centered position locked. This means that there is any relative movement between the imaging device and excluded, for example, the plate cylinder, vibrations can do not lead to such a relative movement.

Eine Ausführungsform sieht vor, daß die Zentriereinrichtung mindestens einen in ein Prisma eingreifenden Bolzen aufweist. Durch die horizontale Ausrichtung von Prisma und Bolzen kann eine exakte horizontale Positionierung erreicht werden, auf die es insbesondere bei Bebilderungseinheiten ankommt. Für eine exakte Ausrichtung in der Senkrechten kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Zentriereinrichtung zusätzlich mindestens einen Anschlag aufweist. Dieser ist zweckmäßigerweise in vertikaler Richtung von dem Prisma beabstandet . Eine Ausführungsform für die Verriegelungseinrichtung sieht vor, daß diese mindestens ein Pneumatikelement ist, das die Zusatzeinrichtung gegen die Berührflächen der Zentriereinrichtung drückt. One embodiment provides that the centering device at least one in one Has prism engaging bolt. Due to the horizontal alignment of prism and bolt an exact horizontal positioning can be achieved on which it is particular arrives at imaging units. For an exact alignment in the Vertical can be provided that the centering device additionally at least has a stop. This is expediently in the vertical direction from that Prism spaced. One embodiment for the locking device provides that this is at least one pneumatic element that the additional device against the Contact surfaces of the centering device presses.

Eine Ausführungsform für die Durchführung der Stellbewegungen der Zusatzeinrichtung sieht vor, daß ein Antrieb und eine Kurve mit einer Kurvenrolle vorgesehen sind, wobei diese derart ausgebildet sind, daß sie der Zusatzeinrichtung am Anfang der Stellbewegung die Horizontalverschiebung und danach die Schwenkung in die Vertikalposition vermitteln. Da für diese Ausführungsform nur ein Antrieb, beispielsweise ein einziger Pneumatikzylinder, Hydraulikzylinder oder Elektroantrieb erforderlich ist, handelt es sich um eine besonders einfache und kostengünstige Lösung. Wird bei dieser Ausführungsform nur der gerade Teil der Kurve von der Kurvenrolle durchfahren, so findet die Horizontalverschiebung der Zusatzeinrichtung in die horizontale Wartungsposition statt. In dieser Position kann beispielsweise ein Druckplattenwechsel oder eine ähnliche Arbeit vorgenommen werden. Für größere Wartungsarbeiten durchfährt die Kurvenrolle einen Kurventeil, in dem die Kurvenrolle um 90° geschwenkt wird. Auf diese Weise wird mit demselben einzigen Antrieb auch die Schwenkbewegung durchgeführt, um die Wartungssposition anzufahren, in der die Zusatzeinrichtung vertikal vor einer Seitenwand des Druckwerks steht, und dieses für größere Wartungsarbeiten freigegeben ist.An embodiment for carrying out the adjusting movements of the additional device provides that a drive and a curve are provided with a cam roller, these are designed such that they are the additional device at the beginning of the actuating movement the horizontal displacement and then the pivoting into the vertical position convey. Since for this embodiment only one drive, for example a single one Pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder or electric drive is required it is a particularly simple and inexpensive solution. Will in this embodiment only the straight part of the curve is traversed by the curve roller the horizontal displacement of the additional device into the horizontal maintenance position instead of. In this position, for example, a printing plate change or the like Work to be done. The cam roller runs through for larger maintenance work a curve part in which the cam roller is swiveled by 90 °. In this way the pivoting movement is also carried out with the same single drive in order to achieve the Approach maintenance position, in which the additional device vertically in front of a side wall of the printing unit, and this is released for major maintenance work.

Für die genannte wie auch für weitere Ausführungsformen ist es zweckmäßig, wenn eine Feder, vorzugsweise eine Gasdruckfeder, die Schwenkbewegung unterstützt. Im vorgenannten Ausführungsbeispiel führt dies zu dem Vorteil, daß keine langen Hebel zwischen Kurvenrolle und Zusatzeinrichtung für die Kraftübertragung erforderlich sind.For the mentioned as well as for further embodiments, it is useful if a spring, preferably a gas pressure spring, which supports pivoting movement. in the aforementioned embodiment leads to the advantage that no long levers between cam roller and additional device for power transmission are required.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform, bei der die Schwenkbewegung der Zusatzeinrichtung von Hand eingeleitet wird, sieht vor, daß die Feder und die Kraftübertragung so ausgelegt sind, daß die Zusatzeinrichtung selbsttätig in die Vertikalposition schwenkt, sobald sie mit Hand einen vorgegebenen Winkel, beispielsweise 30 °, aus der horizontalen Lage geschwenkt wird. Handelt sich bei dieser Ausführungsform um Zusatzeinrichtungen, welche in das Druckwerk eingreifen, ist es zweckmäßig, die Schwenkung in die Vertikalposition erst freizugeben, wenn die Zusatzeinrichtung so weit horizontal verschoben ist, daß sie nicht mehr in das Druckwerk eingreift. Bei dieser Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, daß ein Antrieb für die Horizontalverschiebung vorgesehen ist. Auch dieser Antrieb ist selbstverständlich von Hand möglich, zweckmäßig ist jedoch ein selbsttätiger Antrieb, vorzugsweise ein oder zwei Pneumatikzylinder. Another embodiment in which the pivoting movement of the additional device is initiated by hand, provides that the spring and the power transmission designed so are that the additional device automatically pivots into the vertical position as soon as hand a predetermined angle, for example 30 °, from the horizontal Location is pivoted. If this embodiment is an additional device, which intervene in the printing unit, it is appropriate to pivot into the Only release the vertical position when the additional device has been moved horizontally so far is that it no longer intervenes in the printing unit. In this embodiment can be provided that a drive for the horizontal displacement is provided. This drive is of course also possible by hand, but it is useful an automatic drive, preferably one or two pneumatic cylinders.

Eine wesentliche Anwendung besteht darin, daß die Zusatzeinrichtung eine Bebilderungseinrichtung ist, die in der Arbeitsposition an den Plattenzylinder angestellt ist. Bei derartigen Bebilderungseinrichtungen kann es sich um eine Laserbelichtungseinheit für den Plattenzylinder, jedoch auch um eine Einrichtung handeln, die am Gummi- oder Druckzylinder angeordnet ist, um Eindrucke in die bedruckten Bögen vorzunehmen, beispielsweise als fortlaufende Nummern oder sonstige für die einzelnen Drucke individuellen Eindrucke. Dazu kann beispielsweise eine Ink-Jet-Einheit oder ein Numerierwerk dienen. Selbstverständlich ist es jedoch auch möglich, auf diese Weise andere Zusatzeinrichtungen für ein Druckwerk vorzusehen, beispielsweise ein zusätzliches Farb- oder Lackwerk, einen Trockner, Meßsysteme in Form von Meßbalken, beispielsweise zur Register- oder Farbmessung.An essential application is that the additional device is an imaging device which is in the working position on the plate cylinder. Such imaging devices can be a laser exposure unit for the plate cylinder, but also act as a device on the rubber or Printing cylinder is arranged to make impressions in the printed sheets, for example as consecutive numbers or other individual numbers for the individual prints Impressions. For this purpose, for example, an ink jet unit or a numbering unit serve. Of course, however, it is also possible to use this in others To provide additional devices for a printing unit, for example an additional one Ink or coating unit, a dryer, measuring systems in the form of measuring bars, for example for register or color measurement.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung in Seitenansicht. Dargestellt sind zwei Druckwerke 2 einer Druckmaschine 9. Eine Zusatzeinrichtung 1 ist sowohl in ihrer Arbeitsposition 3 als auch in ihrer vertikalen Warteposition 5 gezeichnet. Selbstverständlich nimmt sie die eine oder die andere Stellung ein. Eine derartige Zusatzeinrichtung 1 kann einem bestimmten oder auch jedem beliebigen Druckwerk 2 einer Druckmaschine 9 zugeordnet werden. In der Arbeitsposition 3 kann die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 Arbeiten an einem Zylinder vornehmen, beispielsweise am Plattenzylinder 6 oder am Gummizylinder 7. Im dargestellten Beispiel handelt es sich um eine Zusatzeinrichtung 1, beispielsweise eine Lasereinheit, die eine auf dem Plattenzylinder 6 befindliche Druckplatte 25 bebildert. Um einen Druckplattenwechsel vorzunehmen, reicht es aus, wenn die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 ein kleines Stück horizontal nach hinten in eine Wartungsposition 4 verschoben wird (entsprechend der Darstellung in Fig. 5) Anhand der eingezeichneten Druckplatte 25 ist ersichtlich, welcher Raum für diesen Druckplattenwechsel freigegeben werden muß. Bei der eingezeichneten Wartungsposition 5 handelt es sich um die Vertikalposition, die die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 einnehmen muß, um größere Arbeiten am Druckwerk 2 zu verrichten. Der Horizontalverschiebung 23 dient eine Linearführung 12, und der Schwenkung in die Vertikalposition 5 dient ein Schwenkmechanismus 8. Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention in side view. Two printing units 2 of a printing press 9 are shown. An additional device 1 is shown both in its working position 3 and in its vertical waiting position 5. Of course, it occupies one or the other position. Such an additional device 1 can be assigned to a specific or to any printing unit 2 of a printing press 9. In the working position 3, the additional device 1 can carry out work on a cylinder, for example on the plate cylinder 6 or on the rubber cylinder 7. In the example shown, it is an additional device 1, for example a laser unit, which images a printing plate 25 located on the plate cylinder 6. In order to change the printing plate, it is sufficient if the additional device 1 is shifted a little bit horizontally backwards into a maintenance position 4 (corresponding to the illustration in FIG. 5). The printing plate 25 shown shows which space must be released for this printing plate change , The maintenance position 5 shown is the vertical position that the additional device 1 must assume in order to carry out larger work on the printing unit 2. The horizontal displacement 23 serves a linear guide 12, and the pivoting into the vertical position 5 serves a pivot mechanism 8.

Fig. 2 zeigt dasselbe Ausführungsbeispiel in Draufsicht, wobei ersichtlich ist, wie die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 in ihrer Arbeitsposition 3 an dem Druckwerk 2 anliegt, meistens in dieses eingreift, beispielsweise um Bebilderungen einer auf dem Plattenzylinder 6 befindlichen Druckplatte 25 vorzunehmen. In dieser Draufsicht ist ersichtlich, wie die Seitenwand 11 des Druckwerks 2 auf der Bedienseite völlig frei ist und die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 in ihrer Vertikalposition 5 sich neben der anderen Seitenwand 10, also auf der Antriebsseite der Druckmaschine 9, befindet. In diesem Bereich ist die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 deshalb nicht imWeg, weil die Bedienperson von der Bedienseite her zwischen die Druckwerke 2 tritt, um notwendige Wartungsarbeiten durchzuführen. Fig. 2 shows the same embodiment in plan view, it can be seen how the additional device 1 is in its working position 3 on the printing unit 2, usually engages in this, for example, to make images of a printing plate 25 located on the plate cylinder 6. This top view shows how the side wall 11 of the printing unit 2 is completely free on the operating side and how the additional device 1 is in its vertical position 5 next to the other side wall 10, that is to say on the drive side of the printing press 9. In this area, the additional device 1 is not in the way because the operator steps between the printing units 2 from the operating side in order to carry out necessary maintenance work.

Schließlich zeigt Fig. 3 eine Ansicht dieses Ausführungsbeispiels zwischen den Druckwerken 2, indem die Druckmaschine 9 an dieser Stelle geschnitten dargestellt ist. Auch hier ist die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 sowohl in ihrer Arbeitsposition 3 als auch in ihrer vertikalen Wartungsposition 5 dargestellt. Der Schwenkung von der Horizontalposition 4 in die Wartungsposition 5 dient ein Schwenkmechanismus 8. Die Schwenkung kann je nach Ausgestaltung automatisch erfolgen oder von Hand vorgenommen werden. Zur Unterstützung der Schwenkbewegung wird zweckmäßigerweise eine Feder, beispielsweise eine Gasdruckfeder 22 angeordnet. Selbstverständlich kann sich an dieser Stelle auch ein anderer Antrieb befinden, der die Verstellung automatisch vornimmt.Finally, FIG. 3 shows a view of this exemplary embodiment between the printing units 2, in which the printing press 9 is shown in section at this point. Here too, the additional device 1 is shown both in its working position 3 and in its vertical maintenance position 5. The pivoting from the horizontal position 4 to the maintenance position 5 is carried out by a pivoting mechanism 8. Depending on the configuration, the pivoting can take place automatically or by hand. A spring, for example a gas pressure spring 22, is expediently arranged to support the pivoting movement. Of course, another drive can also be located at this point, which carries out the adjustment automatically.

Fig. 4 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel in perspektivischer Ansicht mit einer Zusatzeinrichtung 1 in ihrer Arbeitsposition 3. An der Seitenwand 10 der Antriebsseite des Druckwerks 2 befindet sich eine Linearführung 12, die so ausgebildet ist, daß die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 um die Linearführung 12 schwenkbar ist. Es kann sich dabei um einen umfaßten Rundstab handeln. Weiterhin befindet sich an der Seitenwand 10 eine Kurve 20, in der eine Kurvenrolle 21 bewegbar ist, welche mit der Zusatzeinrichtung 1 verbunden ist. Die Kurve 20 ist mit einer derartigen Verschränkung ausgebildet, daß sich die Bahn der Kurvenrolle 21 um 90° in ihrer Ausrichtung ändert. Im Bereich der Anbindung der Kurvenrolle 21 an die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 ist ein Antrieb 19 angeordnet, der die Stellbewegung übernimmt. Dieser Antrieb kann pneumatisch, hydraulisch oder elektrisch sein. Fig. 4 shows a second embodiment in perspective view with an additional device 1 in its working position 3. On the side wall 10 of the drive side of the printing unit 2 there is a linear guide 12 which is designed such that the additional device 1 can be pivoted about the linear guide 12. It can be a covered round rod. Furthermore, there is a curve 20 on the side wall 10, in which a curve roller 21, which is connected to the additional device 1, can be moved. The curve 20 is formed with such an entanglement that the path of the cam roller 21 changes its orientation by 90 °. In the area of the connection of the cam roller 21 to the additional device 1, a drive 19 is arranged, which takes over the adjusting movement. This drive can be pneumatic, hydraulic or electrical.

Fig. 5 zeigt, wie der Antrieb 19 die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 in ihre horizontale Wartungsposition 4 verschiebt. Während dieser Stellbewegung bewegt sich die Kurvenrolle 21 in einem geraden Stück der Kurve 20, wodurch die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 in ihrer horizontalen Ausrichtung verbleibt. 5 shows how the drive 19 moves the additional device 1 into its horizontal maintenance position 4. During this adjustment movement, the cam roller 21 moves in a straight piece of the cam 20, as a result of which the additional device 1 remains in its horizontal orientation.

Fig. 6 zeigt die Schwenkung der Zusatzeinrichtung 1 in ihre Vertikalposition 5. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß die Kurvenrolle 21 zwischen der Wartungsposition 4 und der Wartungsposition 5 die Schränkung der Kurve 20 durchläuft, und dadurch die Schwenkbewegung herbeigeführt wird. Zweckmäßigerweise wird auch bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel eine Feder, beispielsweise eine Gasdruckfeder 22, vorgesehen, die jedoch hier der Einfachheit halber nicht dargestellt wurde. Fig. 6 shows the pivoting of the additional device 1 in its vertical position 5. This is achieved in that the cam roller 21 passes through the setting of the curve 20 between the maintenance position 4 and the maintenance position 5, and thereby the pivoting movement is brought about. A spring, for example a gas pressure spring 22, is also expediently provided in this exemplary embodiment, but this has not been shown here for the sake of simplicity.

Fig. 7 zeigt eine Druckmaschine 9 mit einer erfindungsgemäßen Zusatzeinrichtung 1 und einer Druckplattenwechseleinrichtung 24, 24', jeweils in verschiedenen Arbeitspositionen. Im linken Druckwerk 2 befindet sich die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 in ihrer Arbeitsposition 3, in der sie beispielsweise mittels eines Lasers die Druckplatte 25 auf dem Plattenzylinder 6 bebildert. Beim mittleren Druckwerk 2 wurde die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 in ihre horizontale Wartungsposition 4 verschoben, um beispielsweise einen Druckplattenwechsel einzuleiten. Anhand des rechten Druckwerks 2 ist aufgezeigt, wie der automatische Druckplattenwechsler 24' in seiner Drukplattenwechselposition ist, in der er eine Druckplatte 25 von dem Plattenzylinder 6 abnimmt oder eine Druckplatte 25 dem Plattenzylinder 6 zuführt. 7 shows a printing press 9 with an additional device 1 according to the invention and a printing plate changing device 24, 24 ', each in different working positions. In the left printing unit 2, the additional device 1 is in its working position 3, in which it uses a laser to image the printing plate 25 on the plate cylinder 6, for example. In the middle printing unit 2, the additional device 1 was shifted into its horizontal maintenance position 4, for example in order to initiate a printing plate change. The right printing unit 2 shows how the automatic printing plate changer 24 'is in its printing plate changing position, in which it removes a printing plate 25 from the plate cylinder 6 or feeds a printing plate 25 to the plate cylinder 6.

Durch diese Darstellung wird verdeutlicht, wie eine horizontale Verschiebung der Zusatzeinrichtung 1 ausreicht, um einen Druckplattenwechsel, beispielsweise mittels eines automatischen Druckplattenwechslers 24 oder auch eines halbautomatischen Druckplattenwechslers, vornehmen zu können. Selbstverständlich gibt es auch weitere Arbeiten, für die diese Verschiebung in die horizontale Wartungsposition 4 ausreicht. Nur für größere Servicearbeiten, wie beispielsweise bei einem Gummituchwechsel oder einer Druckwerkreinigung, muß die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 in die Vertikalwartungsposition 5 verfahren werden.This illustration shows how a horizontal shift of the Additional device 1 is sufficient to change the printing plate, for example by means of an automatic printing plate changer 24 or a semi-automatic Pressure plate changer. Of course there are also others Work for which this shift into the horizontal maintenance position 4 is sufficient. Only for larger service work, such as when changing blankets or a printing unit cleaning, the additional device 1 must be in the vertical maintenance position 5 can be moved.

Fig. 8 zeigt eine Zentrier- 13 und Verriegelungseinrichtung 14 in Draufsicht. Beidseitig der Zusatzeinrichtung 1 sind an den Seitenwänden 10 und 11 Pneumatikelemente 17 angeordnet, die jeweils auf Spannhebel 26 wirken und dadurch als Verriegelungseinrichtung 14 dienen. Die Spannhebel 26 können an den Seitenwänden 10 und 11 angelenkt sein und durch die Bemessung der Hebel einer Kraftverstärkung dienen. Fig. 8 shows a centering 13 and locking device 14 in plan view. Pneumatic elements 17 are arranged on both sides of the additional device 1 on the side walls 10 and 11, each of which acts on the tensioning lever 26 and thereby serves as a locking device 14. The tensioning levers 26 can be articulated on the side walls 10 and 11 and serve to increase the force by dimensioning the levers.

Fig. 9 zeigt die Funktion dieser Verriegelungseinrichtung 14, durch welche an der Maschine angeordnete Bolzen 15 gegen Berührflächen 18 einer Zentriereinrichtung 13 gepreßt werden. Dabei wird der obere Bolzen 15 in die Berührflächen 18 eines Prismas 27 gepreßt, wodurch eine exakte Positionierung der Zusatzeinrichtung 1 erreicht wird. Ein Anschlag 16 mit einem Bolzen 15 und einer geraden Berührfläche 18 im unteren Bereich dient dazu, daß auch die senkrechte Ausrichtung der Zusatzeinrichtung 1 gegeben ist. Auf diese Weise wird erreicht, daß die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 exakt positioniert ist, und eine Bebilderungseinrichtung für die jeweilige Bebilderung genau im Maschinenregister positioniert werden. Die horizontalen Arbeitspositionen, beispielsweise des Laserstahls, müssen mittels einer horizontalen Stelleinrichtung für denselben erreicht werden. Diese wird durch mindestens einen Sensor zur Seitenwand justiert. 9 shows the function of this locking device 14, by means of which bolts 15 arranged on the machine are pressed against contact surfaces 18 of a centering device 13. The upper bolt 15 is pressed into the contact surfaces 18 of a prism 27, whereby an exact positioning of the additional device 1 is achieved. A stop 16 with a bolt 15 and a straight contact surface 18 in the lower area serves to ensure that the vertical orientation of the additional device 1 is also given. In this way it is achieved that the additional device 1 is positioned exactly and an imaging device for the respective imaging is positioned exactly in the machine register. The horizontal working positions, for example of the laser steel, must be reached for the same by means of a horizontal actuating device. This is adjusted to the side wall by at least one sensor.

Bei der vorgenannt dargestellten Zentriereinrichtung 13 und Verriegelungseinrichtung 14 handelt es sich lediglich um ein Ausführungsbeispiel, zahlreiche andere Verriegelungen sind denkbar, wobei wesentlich ist, daß die Zusatzeinrichtung 1 in der Höhe und der vertikalen Ausrichtung exakt positioniert wird, um eine Bearbeitung in Übereinstimmung mit dem Maschinenregister vornehmen zu können. In the centering device 13 and locking device shown above 14 is only one embodiment, numerous other interlocks are conceivable, it being essential that the additional device 1 in height and the vertical orientation is positioned exactly to match an edit with the machine register.
