Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for moistening a component in a printing machine, in particular a plate cylinder, according to claim 1.
- the present invention relates to a printing machine according to claim 9.
- dampening units are used to moisten the rollers and cylinders, by means of which a dyed image is transferred to a substrate web or sheet.
- a fountain solution eg. As water or mixed with water other liquid transferred to one or more rollers or cylinders.
- dampening solution there are two types of transfer of dampening solution to the rollers or cylinders of a printing press, of which at least one application is usually found:
- the fountain solution can be sprayed either in the form of tiny drops directly on one of the rollers or one of the cylinders of the printing press, or the dampening solution is transferred to one of the rollers or one of the cylinders via a dampening train.
- a dampening train consists of a series of juxtaposed rollers which transfer the dampening solution respectively to the subsequent roller and finally to the desired printing cylinder.
- the dampening solution is sprayed either in the form of tiny drops on one of the rollers of the dampening train or taken up by a partially immersed in dampening solution, rotating in the fountain solution tank roller. Dampening rollers are often expensive and maintenance-intensive due to the number of rollers required to disperse and transfer the dampening solution.
- the invention provides a method and a printing machine, by means of which or which the fountain solution, preferably in the form of substantially continuous dampening high-density radiation onto a component, eg. As a roller or a cylinder is transmitted.
- the term "continuous jet” refers to a uniform, preferably vortex-free liquid jet which produces a minimum number of individual drops of fountain solution.
- the fountain solution is not or only minimally in the form of drops.
- the high-density continuous jets of the invention impinge on the roller or cylinder and the fountain solution spreads on the surface of the roller or cylinder by spreading radially on the surface of the roller or cylinder from the application point of the jet and forms puddles, so to speak.
- Each of the continuous jets is produced by a jet orifice, preferably a nozzle or micro nozzle, through which the dampening solution exits at a suitable pressure of the dampening solution in the form of a continuous, relatively uniform, preferably laminar jet.
- a pressure distributor is preferably provided, along which a number of spaced jet diaphragms are preferably arranged in such a way that a series of continuous jets is produced along the length of the roller to be moistened.
- the jet apertures are preferably designed as micro-nozzles, and the pressure of the fountain solution is preferably adjustable via control valves.
- the uniform jets emerging from the jet apertures which are distributed in the form of fountain solution puddles on the roll surface, allow a uniform distribution of dampening solution over the entire length of the roll or cylinder surface.
- the present invention increases the print quality by avoiding fluctuations in print quality caused by variations in the amount of fountain solution along the roll surface.
- Figs. 1 to 3 show a pressure distributor 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the pressure distributor 1 according to the invention comprises a dampening solution inlet line 5, preferably running along the length of the pressure distributor 1, which is preferably connected to a container D containing pressurized dampening solution.
- a bolt 7 may be provided to close one end of the inlet pipe 5.
- the pressure distributor 1 is supplied with pressurized dampening solution with which a roller or a cylinder is to be moistened in a printing press.
- a series of outlet lines 9 extend through a wall of the pressure distributor 1.
- the outlet lines 9 connect the interior of the inlet line 5 to one of a series of control valves 6 arranged on the pressure distributor 1.
- the outlet lines 9 accordingly supply pressurized dampening solution to the control valves 6.
- the control valves 6 may be formed as any valve capable of controlling a flow of liquid.
- the control valves 6 are controlled by any known control unit 10, for example a pneumatic or hydraulic control console, an electronic microprocessor or other electronic control unit.
- the control unit 10 sends via lines 11 signals to each one of the control valves 6 and controls in this way the opening and closing and the degree of opening or closing of the control valves 6.
- the control valves 6 control the Feuchtffenzul from the inlet line 5 to further inlet openings 8, each leading to a pressure chamber 4 a plurality of arranged along the length of the pressure manifold 1 pressure chambers 4.
- the control valves 6 accordingly regulate the pressure in each of the pressure chambers 4.
- Each of the pressure chambers 4 directs fountain solution to a group of spaced across the width of the pressure distributor 1 arranged jet aperture 3.
- the jet aperture 3 are arranged at a distance d to each other and each produce a continuous dampening solution Beam 9 emerging from the beam apertures 3 and impinging on a roller or a cylinder, for example a plate cylinder P.
- the jet apertures 3 are preferably designed as micro-nozzles, ie as nozzles with a very small opening. They can be incorporated directly into one side of the pressure distributor 1, z. B. drilled, be or form a separately prepared component which is inserted into an opening formed in the side of the pressure distributor 1. As will be explained in more detail below, the size of the beam aperture 3 is selected such that the beam aperture in a pressure of the fountain solution, as it is generated in the pressure chambers 4 by the control valves 6, a continuous dampening jet 8 of high density and in particular produce a consisting of a substantially laminar flow beam.
- the pressure in the pressure chambers 4 can be controlled to move within a suitable range in which a substantially laminar flow from the jet apertures 3 exit, all of a given size.
- the pressure in the pressure chambers 4 is regulated via the control valves 6, which in turn are controlled by the control unit 10.
- a pressure gauge (not shown) in the pressure chambers 4 may be used to ensure that the pressure in the pressure chambers 4 moves within the appropriate range, so that continuous Rays out of the beam aperture 3 of predetermined size.
- the pressure in the pressure chambers 4 can be regulated by the control unit, so that the flow rate can be changed.
- the flow rate can be varied in this way and adapted to different conditions when more or less dampening solution is needed on a roller or a cylinder in the printing press.
- the pressure distributor 1 according to the invention is shown in a position in which the rotating in the direction R plate cylinder P is moistened, which transmits in an offset printing press on a blanket cylinder B color.
- the pressure distributor 1 is oriented so as to transfer dampening means in the form of continuous high-density jets to the surface of the plate cylinder P.
- the flow rate and the speed of the beams emerging from the jet aperture 3 can be varied in such a way that different beam profiles S 1 (low flow rate), S 2 (average flow rate) or S 3 (high Flow rate) are generated.
- the flow capacity of the jet aperture 3 is regulated by the control valves 6 for each pressure chamber 4.
- the different flow rates control the Degree of moistening of the surface of the plate cylinder P.
- the degree of moistening of the plate cylinder P can be regulated while at the same time ensuring that the pressure distributor 1 and the jet diaphragms 3 generate continuous jets.
- the jet apertures 3 are arranged at a distance from one another in such a way that the continuous rays S produced by them effect a uniform distribution of the fountain solution on the surface of the roll to be moistened or of the cylinder to be moistened.
- Fig. 5 it is shown how the dampening solution is applied to the surface of the plate cylinder P.
- the continuous rays S which are shown in cross section at their point of impact on the plate cylinder P, are distributed in the form of puddles, which propagate in the directions indicated by the arrows.
- the dampening solution of one jet S flows together with the dampening solution of the adjacent continuous jet S in a cutting region I.
- the distance d is chosen in such a way that the distributing fountain solution flows together with the different possible flow rates of the jet aperture 3 with the distributing dampening solution of the adjacent jet S without gaps.
- the impingement point of the continuous jet S in the downstream direction region of the fountain solution forms a moistening layer L, which extends over the entire length of the plate cylinder P and in this way the plate cylinder evenly moistened.
