Abstract

The sheet-fed rotary printer has a sheet-feeder(12), a sheet-delivery (14), several printers and or operating units. First sheet-conveyors (8,9) convey the printed sheets through all the printing zones and are positioned on the underside of the printers (1-4) or operating units. Further sheet-conveyors (11), in the form of a continuous chain-conveyor system, convey the printed sheets contrary to the direction of the printing process and are positioned above the printers. The sheet-feeder and delivery are parallel on the same side of the sheet-fed rotary printer and are connected by a joint stacking conveyor system.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine für Mehrfarbendruck nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a sheet-fed rotary printing machine for multi-color printing according to the Preamble of claim 1.

In Bogenrotationsdruckmaschinen für den Mehrfarbendruck ist ein wesentliches Problem der Transport der Druckbogen vom Anleger bis zum Ausleger durch alle Druckwerke. In konventionellen Bogendruckmaschinen sind die einzelnen Druckwerke durch Bogentransporttrommeln miteinander verbunden. Diese Anordnung hat den Nachteil, daß der Druckbogen immer mehr oder weniger starr geführt ist. Es ist aber auch bereits vorgeschlagen worden, in den Bogenrotationsdruckmaschinen durchlaufende Kettenfördersysteme vorzusehen. Hierbei wird der Druckbogen vor dem ersten Druckwerk auf einem Greiferwagen übernommen, der den Bogen dann in einem Greiferschluß bis zur Übergabe an ein Auslegersystem festhält.A major problem is in sheet-fed rotary printing presses for multi-color printing the transport of the printed sheets from the feeder to the delivery through all printing units. In conventional sheet-fed printing machines, the individual printing units are finished Sheet transport drums connected to each other. This arrangement has the disadvantage that the printed sheet is always more or less rigid. But it is already proposed chain conveyor systems running in the sheet-fed rotary printing press provided. Here, the printing sheet is opened in front of the first printing unit a gripper car, which then takes the sheet in a gripper close to Handover to a boom system.

In der DE 3 936 345 C2 ist eine bogenverarbeitende Druckmaschine für Mehrfarbendruck beschrieben. Sie weist mehrere hintereinanderliegende Druckwerke auf, die durch ein endloses Kettenfördersystem miteinander verbunden sind. Die Greiferwagen des Kettenfördersystems sind jeweils um die Oberseite von doppeltgroßen Gegendruckzylindern wellenförmig herumgeführt, durchlaufen so nacheinander die Druckzonen aller Druckwerke und werden unter der Maschine zum ersten Druckwerk zurückgeführt. Die Druckbogen werden vom Anleger her über ein Vorgreifersystem auf eine Anlegertrommel und von dort auf den Greiferwagen, der sich gerade auf den ersten Gegendruckzylinder befindet, übergeben. Nach dem Ausdrucken auch der letzten Farbe wird der Bogen bis zu einem Auslegersystem geführt und dahin übergeben. Dabei hat der Druckbogen nur zum Übernehmen auf den Greiferwagen und zur Abgabe auf das Auslegersystem Greiferwechsel erfahren, die aber auf die Paßgenauigkeit der Drucke keinen Einfluß haben.DE 3 936 345 C2 describes a sheet-processing printing machine for multi-color printing described. It has several printing units in a row, the are connected by an endless chain conveyor system. The gripper car of the chain conveyor system are each around the top of double-sized impression cylinders Guided around in waves, they pass through the pressure zones one after the other of all printing units and are returned under the machine to the first printing unit. The print sheets are transferred from the feeder to a pre-gripper system Feed drum and from there onto the gripper wagon, which is just at first Impression cylinder is located, handed over. After printing out the last color the sheet is led to a delivery system and handed over there. Doing the printed sheet only for transfer to the gripper carriage and for delivery to the Boom system experienced gripper changes, but based on the accuracy of the prints have no influence.

Nachteilig an dieser Bauform ist, daß die Maschine eine sehr langgestreckte Ausdehnung hat und für ihre Bedienung daher besondere Vorkehrungen zu treffen sind. Die Druckbogen müssen einen relativ großen Höhenunterschied überwinden, indem sie indem sie vom Höhenniveau des Anlegers nach unten in den Bereich der Druckwerke und von dort unten wieder auf das Höhenniveau des Auslegers nach oben zu fördern sind. Dazu sind ziemlich platzaufwendige Übergänge in der Bogenführung notwendig. Die ganze Anordnung ist von daher unrationell. Außerdem ist über die gesamte Länge der Druckmaschine gesehen je nach Anzahl der Farben eine mehr oder weniger große Anzahl von Greiferwagen beim Rücklauf vom Auslegersystem zum Anlagetisch ungenutzt. Weiterhin sind die Druckwerke relativ schlecht zugänglich.A disadvantage of this design is that the machine has a very long extension has special precautions for its operation. The Printed sheets must overcome a relatively large difference in height by using them by moving down from the level of the feeder into the area of the printing units and from there down to the level of the boom are. This requires fairly space-consuming transitions in the sheet guide. The whole arrangement is therefore inefficient. It is also over the entire length seen on the printing press depending on the number of colors a more or less large Number of gripper carriages when returning from the boom system to the system table unused. Furthermore, the printing units are relatively difficult to access.

Zur Verkürzung der Baulänge einer Druckmaschine ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden, sowohl den Anleger als auch den Ausleger auf einer Seite der Druckmaschine anzuordnen. In der DEPS 933 927 ist eine Bogendruckmaschine mit Auslegerkette beschrieben. Die Veröffentlichung betrifft eine Bogentiefdruckmaschine für den Einfarbendruck. Zur Verbesserung der Bedienbarkeit ist dort der Ausleger neben dem Anleger angeordnet. Das Kettenfördersystem zum Ausleger wird dabei über die Arbeitshöhe des Druckwerkes nach oben und parallel zum Anlegetisch in einem relativ weiten Bogen bis zum Auslegerstapel geführt. Dabei wird gleichzeitig der Druckbogen durch entsprechende Führung des Kettenfördersystems über Kopf gewendet, so daß der Druckbogen mit der bedruckten Seite nach oben auf dem Auslegerstapel zu liegen kommt. Auf diese Weise ist das Druckwerk von beiden Seiten aus bis zum Boden frei zugänglich und die Bedienungsebene wird nicht durch ein gegebenenfalls am Boden entlang zu führendes Auslegersystem künstlich erhöht. In dieser Veröffentlichung ist allerdings kein Hinweis gegeben wie für eine solche Konfiguration in Mehrfarbendruckmaschinen zu verfahren wäre. Die beschriebene Anordnung wäre dort nicht ausführbar und außerdem auch unsinnig.In order to shorten the overall length of a printing press, it has already been proposed to place both the feeder and the delivery on one side of the printing press. In DEPS 933 927 there is a sheet printing machine with a delivery chain described. The publication relates to an intaglio printing press for the Monochrome printing. To improve usability, the boom is next to the Arranged investors. The chain conveyor system to the boom is via the Working height of the printing unit upwards and parallel to the feed table in one relative wide arc to the boom stack. At the same time, the printed sheet by turning the chain conveyor system upside down so that the printed sheet is lying face up on the delivery pile comes. In this way, the printing unit is free from both sides to the bottom accessible and the operating level is not by a possibly on the floor artificially raised along the boom system. In this release however, no indication as given for such a configuration in Multi-color printing machines would be too. The arrangement described would be there not executable and also nonsensical.

In der EP 0 085 751 B1 ist schließlich eine Offset-Bogen-Rotationsdruckmaschine beschrieben. Eine kompakte Bauweise soll hier dadurch erreicht werden, daß an den in einer horizontalen Zickzacklinie angeordneten Druckzylindem jeweils abwechselnd Druckwerke sowohl aufrecht als auch auf dem Kopf stehend angeordnet sind. Die Druckwerke dieser Maschine sind relativ schlecht zugänglich. Trotz allem ist die Druckmaschine noch ziemlich lang, wobei die Nebenaggregate Anleger und Ausleger nun umso mehr Raum beanspruchen. Finally, EP 0 085 751 B1 describes an offset sheet-fed rotary printing press. A compact design is to be achieved here in that the in a horizontal zigzag line arranged printing cylinders alternately Printing units are arranged both upright and upside down. The Printing units of this machine are relatively difficult to access. Despite everything, the printing press still quite long, with the auxiliary units feeder and boom now take up even more space.

Aus der US-A-1 607 143 ist eine Mehrfarbenmaschine bekannt. Sie weist eine Anordnung von Bogenanlegern benachbart zu einer Druckwerkseinheit auf. Die von Stapeln vereinzelten Druckbogen werden einer ringförmigen Bogentransporteinrichtung zugeführt, die die Bogen auf einer Kreisbahn durch von Zylinderpaaren gebildeten Druckzonen führt. Von zwei Bogenanlegern ist jedem ein eigener Zuführmechanismus zu der Bogentransporteinrichtung zugeordnet. Die Druckbogen werden danach von einem Kettentransportsystem übernommen und oberhalb der Druckwerkseinheit entgegen der Laufrichtung des Transports von den Bogenanlegern zu einem Paar von Bogenauslegern geführt und dort ausgelegt.A multi-color machine is known from US-A-1 607 143. She assigns one Arrangement of sheet feeders adjacent to a printing unit. The of Stacking individual printed sheets are an annular sheet transport device fed the arc on a circular path by formed by pairs of cylinders Leads to pressure zones. Each of two sheet feeders has its own feed mechanism assigned to the sheet transport device. The printed sheets are then from a chain transport system and above the printing unit against the direction of transport from the sheet feeders to a pair of Guided booms and laid out there.

Aus der WO-A-98/18627 ist eine Stapellogistik einer Druckmaschine bekannt. Die Druckmaschine weist einen Druckzylinder mit drei Greiferfeldem auf, dem zwei Druckwerke mit je einem Drucktuch- und einem Formzylinder mit jeweils zwei bildführenden Druckflächen zugeordnet sind. Die Bogenanlage und die Bogenauslage sind dem Druckzylinder parallel zueinander gleichzeitig zugeordnet. Die Bogenanlage und die Bogenauslage sind mittels einer Linearfördereinheit verbunden.A stack logistics of a printing press is known from WO-A-98/18627. The Printing machine has a printing cylinder with three gripper fields, the two Printing units with one blanket cylinder and one forme cylinder with two each image-bearing printing areas are assigned. The arch system and the arch delivery are assigned to the impression cylinder parallel to each other at the same time. The bow system and the sheet delivery are connected by means of a linear conveyor unit.

Schließlich ist aus der DE-A1-4 219 116 eine Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine für Mehrfarbendruck bekannt. Sie weist eine Reihe von Druckwerken auf, an deren Oberseite je ein Druckzylinder angeordnet ist. Um die Druckzylinder ist in einer wellenförmigen Bahn ein endloses erstes Kettenfördersystem geführt, dem von einem Bogenanleger Druckbogen zugeführt werden. Das Kettenfördersystem wird oberhalb der Druckzylinder geradlinig zurückgeführt. Die Druckbogen werden danach an ein zweites endloses Kettenfördersystem übergeben und seitenrichtig auf einen parallel zum Anlegerstapel angeordneten Auslegerstapel abgelegt.Finally, from DE-A1-4 219 116 is a sheet-fed rotary printing press for Multi-color printing known. It has a number of printing units, on their A printing cylinder is arranged on the top. To the printing cylinder is in one wavy path led an endless first chain conveyor system, that of one Sheet feeder printed sheets are fed. The chain conveyor system is above the impression cylinder is returned straight. The printed sheets are then on hand over second endless chain conveyor system and right-sided to a parallel to the stack of jibs arranged.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 vorzusehen, die eine verkürzte Baulänge bei verbesserter Bogenführung, Bedienbarkeit und logistischer Anbindung aufweist und zudem flexibel einsetzbar ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a sheet-fed rotary printing press according to the The preamble of claim 1 is to provide a shortened overall length with improved Has sheet guidance, usability and logistical connection and also can be used flexibly.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1. Hierbei wird deutlich, daß die einzelnen Druckwerke wegen des freien Zugangs gut bedienbar sind. Weiterhin wird jeder Bogen annähernd in einer Ebene transportiert, wobei er sowohl vom Anleger als auch zum Ausleger hin nicht über große Höhenunterschiede transportiert werden muß. Außerdem steht beim Rückweg oberhalb der Druckwerke eine lange freie Strecke zur Verfügung, die für die Trocknung genutzt werden kann. Die Bedienung der Maschine wird insgesamt auch dadurch verbessert, daß beide Stapel auf einer Seite der Maschine liegen und die Logistik, d.h. An und Abtransport von Bogenstapeln in der Druckerei dadurch zusammengefaßt werden kann. Schließlich bietet sich die Bauform für den Einsatz anderer Druckverfahren neben dem Offsetdruck in Spezialdruckeinheiten an, wobei eventuell notwendige Nachbehandlungen leicht im Bereich des Rücktransports möglich sind. Dies betont noch einmal die besonders rationelle Anordnung gegenüber konventionellen Bogenrotationsdruckmaschinen.The object is achieved with the features of patent claim 1. that the individual printing units are easy to use because of the free access. Furthermore, each sheet is transported approximately in one plane, with both not transported over large height differences from the feeder as well as to the delivery arm must become. There is also a long one on the way back above the printing units free stretch available that can be used for drying. The operation the machine is also improved overall in that both stacks on one Side of the machine and the logistics, i.e. Delivery and removal of sheet stacks can be summarized in the print shop. After all, it offers Design for the use of other printing processes besides offset printing in special printing units on, with any necessary post-treatment easily in the area of the return transport are possible. This again emphasizes the particularly rational arrangement compared to conventional sheet-fed rotary printing machines.

In den Unteransprüchen sind Variationsmöglichkeiten zur Konfiguration angegeben. Die Bogentransportmittel können sowohl als Kombination von Kettenfördersystemen, als auch von Bogentransporttrommeln und Kettenfördersystemen ausgeführt werden. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich die Zuordnung ganzer Druckwerkseinheiten für sowohl einseitigen als auch zweitseitigen Druck zu gestalten.In the subclaims, configuration options are given. The Sheet transport can be used as a combination of chain conveyor systems as well also be carried out by sheet transport drums and chain conveyor systems. About that In addition, it is possible to assign entire printing unit units for both one-sided as well as to design two-sided printing.

Eine in Figur 1 gezeigte Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine besteht aus mehreren Druckwerken 1 bis 4. Die Druckwerke 1 bis 4 sind als Offsetdruckwerke vorgesehen und bestehen jeweils aus einem Plattenzylinder 6 mit einem Farb und einem Feuchtwerk, einem Gummizylinder 7 und einem Gegendruckzylinder 8. Die Anordnung ist konventionell, wobei die Gegendruckzylinder 8 mittels Bogentransporttrommeln 9 miteinander verbunden sind.A sheet-fed rotary printing press shown in FIG. 1 consists of several printing units 1 to 4. The printing units 1 to 4 are provided and exist as offset printing units each from a plate cylinder 6 with an ink and a dampening unit, one Rubber cylinder 7 and an impression cylinder 8. The arrangement is conventional, the impression cylinders 8 with each other by means of sheet transport drums 9 are connected.

An die Bogenführungselemente, nämlich die Gegendruckzylinder 8 und die Bogenführungstrommeln 9, schließt sich ein Kettenfördersystem 11 an. Dieses Kettenfördersystem 11 ist vom letzten Gegendruckzylinder 6 aus bis auf die Oberseite der Druckwerke 1 bis 4 und dort mit Abstand zu den Druckwerkselementen über die gesamte Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine zurückgeführt.To the sheet guide elements, namely the impression cylinder 8 and the sheet guide drums 9, a chain conveyor system 11 follows. This chain conveyor system 11 is from the last impression cylinder 6 up to the top of the printing units 1 to 4 and there at a distance from the printing unit elements over the entire sheet-fed rotary printing press recycled.

Die Druckbogen 10 werden vom Bogenstapel in einem Bogenanleger 12 vereinzelt, über einen kurzen Anlegetisch 22 geführt und mit Hilfe eines Vorgreifers oder, wie hier dargestellt, einer Anlegetrommel 17 direkt an eine Bogenführungstrommel 9 und danach an den ersten Gegendruckzylinder 8 übergeben. Danach läuft jeder Druckbogen über die Bogenführungstrommeln 9 und Gegendruckzylinder 8 durch alle Druckzonen der Druckwerke 1 bis 4. Vom Druckzylinder 8 des letzten Druckwerkes 4 werden die Druckbogen 10 an das Kettenfördersystem 11 übergeben und mittels dessen auf der Oberseite der Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine vom oberen Trumm 11B des Kettenfördersystems 11 zurückgeführt. Dabei können die Druckbogen 10 von einer Bogenführungseinrichtung in einer Transportebene geführt werden. Diese Bogenführungseinrichtung kann aus passiven Elementen wie z.B. Bogenleitblechen oder auch aus einer aktiven Bogenführungsbahn, die Lüfteranordnungen enthält, bestehen. Nach dem Rücklauf der Druckbogen bis über das erste Druckwerk 1 wird dieser von dem Kettenfördersystem 11 bis zum Bogenstapel eines Bogenauslegers 14 geführt und dort abgelegt.The printed sheets 10 are separated from the sheet stack in a sheet feeder 12, guided over a short feed table 22 and with the help of a pre-gripper or, as here shown, a feed drum 17 directly to a sheet guide drum 9 and thereafter passed to the first impression cylinder 8. Then each sheet overflows the sheet guide drums 9 and impression cylinders 8 through all printing zones Printing units 1 to 4. The printing sheets are from the printing cylinder 8 of the last printing unit 4 10 passed to the chain conveyor system 11 and by means of it on the top the sheet-fed rotary printing machine from the upper run 11B of the chain conveyor system 11 returned. The printed sheets 10 can be carried out by a sheet guiding device be guided in a transport level. This sheet guiding device can from passive elements such as Sheet guide plates or also from an active sheet guideway, which contains fan assemblies exist. After the return of the Printing sheet up to the first printing unit 1, this is from the chain conveyor system 11 out to the sheet stack of a sheet delivery 14 and stored there.

Da das Abdrucken der Bilder in den Druckwerken 1 bis 4 mit der Bildseite nach oben erfolgt, liegt diese Bildseite beim Transport am rücklaufenden Trumm 11 B des Kettenfördersystems 11 nach unten. Um die Effektivität der Maschine zu steigern, kann nun unterhalb des rücklaufenden Trumms 11B des Kettenfördersystems 11 eine Anordnung von Trocknern 16 vorgesehen werden. In Figur 1 ist ein solcher Trockner 16 dem aufsteigenden Ast des Trumms 11B des Kettenfördersystems 11 zugeordnet. Die Trockenstrecke kann damit fast beliebig lang gestaltet werden.
Bei Einsatz einer Bogenwendevorrichtung zwischen Druckwerken der Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine kann neben einer Zwischentrocknung innerhalb der Druckwerke auch eine doppelseitige Trocknung im Bereich des Kettenfördersystems 11 vorgesehen werden, um ein gutes Trocknungsverhalten zu erzielen..Since the printing of the images in the printing units 1 to 4 takes place with the image side up, this image side lies on the returning run 11 B of the chain conveyor system 11 during transport. In order to increase the effectiveness of the machine, an arrangement of dryers 16 can now be provided below the returning run 11B of the chain conveyor system 11. In FIG. 1, such a dryer 16 is assigned to the ascending branch of the run 11B of the chain conveyor system 11. The drying section can thus be designed to be almost any length.
When using a sheet turning device between printing units of the sheet-fed rotary printing press, in addition to intermediate drying within the printing units, double-sided drying in the area of the chain conveyor system 11 can also be provided in order to achieve good drying behavior.

Die Druckbogen 10 werden zur seitenrichtigen Ablage vom Kettenfördersystem 11 um einen Wendebogen 15 geführt, damit die bedruckte Seite wieder nach oben weist.. Weiterhin kann auf dem nun in Arbeitsrichtung der Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine vorlaufenden Trumm 11A der Druckbogen 10 über den Bogenstapel des Bogenauslegers 14 hinweg geführt werden und auf einem in einer gesonderten Hubvorrichtung angeordneten Makulaturstapel 18 ausgelegt werden. Damit ist der automatische Wechsel des Bogenstapels im Bogenausleger 14 sowie auch das Auscheiden von Test- oder Makulaturbogen auf einfachste Weise möglich.The printed sheets 10 are deposited around the right side by the chain conveyor system 11 guided a turning sheet 15 so that the printed side faces up again .. Furthermore, on the now running in the working direction of the sheet-fed rotary printing press Run 11A of the printed sheets 10 over the sheet stack of the sheet delivery 14 are guided away and arranged on a separate lifting device Waste stack 18 can be designed. This is the automatic change the sheet stack in the sheet delivery 14 as well as the excretion of test or Waste sheets in the simplest possible way.

Durch die parallele Anordnung von Bogenanleger 12 und Bogenausleger 14 ist die Integration eines Logistiksystems auf besonders günstige Weise möglich. Das Logistiksystem besteht aus einer Zuführrollenbahn A, einem Palettentransportsystem B und einer Abführrollenbahn C. Bogenstapel werden mit Hilfe von Fördermitteln D auf der Zuführrollenbahn A abgesetzt und mittels dieser dem Bogenanleger 12 zugeführt. Zum automatischen und kontinuierlichen Auswechseln der Bogenstapel im Bogenanleger 12 ist dort eine Stapelwechselvorrichtung 12A vorgesehen. Nach weitgehender Abarbeitung des Bogenstapels im Bogenanleger 12 wird mittels der genannten Stapelwechselvorrichtung 12A eine den Stapelrest tragende Palette aus dem Bogenanleger 12 entnommen und auf dem Palettentransportsystem C abgesetzt während gleichzeitig ein neuer Bogenstapel dem Bogenanleger 12 zugeführt wird. Die leere Palette kann nun auf dem Palettentransportsystem C, das ja den Bogenanleger 12 mit dem Bogenausleger 14 verbindet, zum Bogenausleger 14 geführt werden. Dazu sind in Figur 1 Drehelemente C1 vorgesehen, mittels deren die Palette in beliebige Richtung gedreht und so seitenrichtig weitertransportiert werden kann. In dem Palettentransportsystem C kann auch eine Zufuhreinrichtung für zusätzliche Paletten vorgesehen sein, falls im Bogenausleger 14 mehr Paletten benötigt werden, als vom Bogenanleger 12 freigemacht werden.
Der Bogenausleger 14 ist selbstverständlich ebenfalls mit einer automatischen Stapelwechselvorrichtung geeigneter Art ausgerüstet.The parallel arrangement of sheet feeder 12 and sheet delivery 14 makes it possible to integrate a logistics system in a particularly advantageous manner. The logistics system consists of a feed roller conveyor A, a pallet transport system B and a discharge roller conveyor C. Sheet stacks are deposited on the feed roller conveyor A with the aid of conveyors D and are fed to the sheet feeder 12 by means of the latter. A stack changing device 12A is provided there for the automatic and continuous replacement of the sheet stacks in the sheet feeder 12. After the sheet stack in the sheet feeder 12 has largely been processed, a pallet carrying the remainder of the stack is removed from the sheet feeder 12 and deposited on the pallet transport system C by means of the said stack changing device 12A, while at the same time a new sheet stack is fed to the sheet feeder 12. The empty pallet can now be guided on the pallet transport system C, which connects the sheet feeder 12 with the sheet delivery 14, to the sheet delivery 14. For this purpose, rotary elements C1 are provided in FIG. 1, by means of which the pallet can be rotated in any direction and thus be transported further in the correct direction. A supply device for additional pallets can also be provided in the pallet transport system C if more pallets are required in the sheet delivery 14 than are cleared by the sheet feeder 12.
The sheet delivery 14 is of course also equipped with an automatic stack changing device of a suitable type.

Das Palettentransportsystem C kann im übrigen auch als Staustrecke für überzählige Paletten verwendet werden. Weiterhin kann das Palettentransportsystem C mit einer Abtransporteinrichtung versehen sein, mittels derer Paletten mit einem nicht mehr benötigten Stapelrest oder Paletten mit einem in dem Bogenanleger 12 bzw. der Stapelwechselvorrichtung 12A nicht verarbeitbaren Bogenstapel abgeführt werden können, ohne dabei die Stapelzu- und -abfuhr auf der Bedienungsseite der Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine zu behindern.
Die Stapelzufuhr bzw. der Stapelwechsel an Bogenanleger 12 und Bogenausleger 14 kann prinzipiell von beiden Seiten bzw. in allen Richtungen des Logistikssystems erfolgen, so daß Bogenstapel auch teilverarbeitet sowohl im Bogenanleger 12 als auch im Bogenausleger 14 wieder einsetzbar sind.The pallet transport system C can also be used as a storage section for excess pallets. Furthermore, the pallet transport system C can be provided with a removal device, by means of which pallets with a stack residue that is no longer required, or pallets with a stack of sheets that cannot be processed in the sheet feeder 12 or the stack changing device 12A, can be removed without the stack feeding and removal on the To hinder the operator side of the sheet-fed rotary printing machine.
The stack feed or the stack change on sheet feeder 12 and sheet delivery 14 can in principle take place from both sides or in all directions of the logistics system, so that sheet stacks can also be re-used both in sheet feeder 12 and in sheet delivery 14.

Anstatt von Drehelementen können für den Transport der Paletten vom Bogenanleger 12 zum Bogenausleger 14 auch andere Transportmittel eingesetzt werden, um die Paletten vom Bogenanleger 12 zum Bogenausleger 14 zu transportieren..Instead of rotating elements can be used to transport the pallets from the sheet feeder 12 to the sheet delivery 14 other means of transport can be used to the pallets to transport from sheet feeder 12 to sheet delivery 14 ..

Vorteilhaft an dieser Maschine ist, daß die Logistik zur Verarbeitung des Bedruckstoffes zentral angeordnet ist. Die Zuordnung kann noch in gewissem Umfang variiert werden. Für die beschriebene Maschinenkonfiguration ergibt sich eine extrem lange Trockenstrecke bei gleichzeitig verbesserter Bedienung durch kurze Bedienwege. Die Anordnung ist so gewählt, daß ohne Verwendung von Sockelanordnungen große Stapelhöhen im Bogenanleger und vor allem im Bogenausleger möglich sind. Gleichzeitig ist eine Makulaturauslage im Bereich der Logistik integriert. Bei Verwendung der Makulaturauslage kann der automatische Stapelwechsel am Bogenausleger 14 dadurch verbessert werden, daß während des Stapelwechselvorganges eine beliebig große Lücke im Bogenstrom erzeugt wird. Durch komplette Kapselung von Bogenanleger 12 und Bogenausleger 14 sind die Arbeitsbedingungen des Personals sehr günstig gestaltet und es kann eine Trennung des Logistikbereiches vom Druckbereich erzielt werden. The advantage of this machine is that the logistics for processing the printing material is centrally located. The assignment can still be varied to a certain extent. The machine configuration described has an extremely long drying section with improved operation thanks to short operating paths. The order is chosen so that large stack heights without using base arrangements in the sheet feeder and especially in the sheet delivery. At the same time integrated waste delivery in the area of logistics. When using the waste delivery the automatic stack change on the sheet delivery 14 can thereby be improved be that any gap during the batch change process is generated in the arc stream. By completely encapsulating sheet feeder 12 and Sheet boom 14, the working conditions of the staff are designed very cheap and a separation of the logistics area from the printing area can be achieved.

Die Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine nach Fig. 2 entspricht im wesentlichen derjenigen nach Fig. 1. Sie ist ebenfalls mit einer Logistikzentrale versehen, wobei diese hier nicht dargestellt ist. Im Unterschied zu Fig. 1 ist hier im Anschluß an den Gegendruckzylinder 8 des letzten Druckwerkes 4 eine weitere Arbeitseinheit 5 vorgesehen. Die Druckbogen 10 werden dieser Arbeitseinheit durch Bogentransporttrommeln 23 zugeführt. Wenn die Bogentransporttrommeln 23 in der Art von Gegendruckzylindern ausgeführt sind können diesen Beschichtungseinheiten 24 zugeordnet werden, um den bedruckten Druckbogen beidseitig mittels Lack oder anderer Beschichtungsstoffe veredeln zu können. Die Druckbogen werden danach über eine weitere Bogentransporttrommel 23 dem Kettenfördersystem 11 zugeführt. Die letzte Arbeitseinheit 5 in Form einer Trommelübergabeeinheit kann auf sehr vorteilhafte Weise als zusätzliche Arbeitseinrichtung konfiguriert. Hier können die Druckbogen kalandriert, also geglättet, numeriert, perforiert, gerillt, genutet, geschnitten, geheizt, befeuchtet o.ä. werden. Bei Einsatz der Trommelübergabeinheit als Widerdruckwerk wäre gegebenenfalls die Wendeeinrichtung entbehrlich. Für Widerdruck kann eine der genannten Beschichtungseinheiten 24 in Form eines Flexodruckwerkes benutzt werden.2 essentially corresponds to that according to Fig. 1. It is also provided with a logistics center, but this is not here is shown. In contrast to Fig. 1 is here after the impression cylinder 8 of the last printing unit 4, a further working unit 5 is provided. The press sheets 10 are fed to this work unit by sheet transport drums 23. If the Sheet transport drums 23 can be designed in the manner of impression cylinders these coating units 24 are assigned to the printed sheet to be able to finish on both sides with varnish or other coating materials. The Printed sheets are then the chain conveyor system via a further sheet transport drum 23 11 fed. The last work unit 5 in the form of a drum transfer unit can be configured as additional work equipment in a very advantageous manner. Here the printed sheets can be calendered, i.e. smoothed, numbered, perforated, grooved, grooved, cut, heated, moistened or similar become. When using the drum transfer unit the turning device could possibly be dispensed with as a counterpressure unit. For reverse printing, one of the coating units 24 mentioned can be in the form of a Flexographic printing unit can be used.

In Fig. 3 ist die bereits beschriebene Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine durch weitere Druckwerke 30, 31 ergänzt. Diese sind mittels eines Kettenfördersystems 32 mit einer letzten Bogenführungstrommel 5 des Druckwerkes 4 verbunden. Die Druckwerke 30, 31 sind als Überkopfdruckwerke ausgebildet, wobei deren Gegendruckzylinder 33 an der Oberseite und die Übertragungszylinder 34 und Formzylinder 35 mit den Farb- und Feuchtwerken 36 darunter angeordnet sind. Durch die gezeigte Kombination wird in den Druckwerken 30, 31 auf den vorher von der Oberseite bedruckten Druckbogen 10 ein weiteres mehrfarbiges Druckbild auf deren Rückseite aufgebracht. Vom Gegendruckzylinder 33 des Druckwerkes 31 werden die Druckbogen an ein weiteres Kettenfördersystem 37 übergeben, das die Druckbogen dann zum Kettenfördersystem 11 führt, mit dem die Druckbogen dann auf den Bogenausleger 14 ausgelegt werden können. Werden die Druckwerke 30, 31 nicht benötigt können die Druckbogen auch vom Kettenfördersystem 32 direkt an das Kettenfördersystem 11 zum Rücktransport in den Bogenausleger 14 übergeben werden.In Fig. 3 is the sheet-fed rotary printing press already described by others Printing units 30, 31 added. These are connected by means of a chain conveyor system 32 last sheet guide drum 5 of the printing unit 4 connected. The printing units 30, 31 are designed as overhead printing units, the impression cylinder 33 on the Top and the transfer cylinder 34 and forme cylinder 35 with the color and Dampening units 36 are arranged below. The combination shown in the Printing units 30, 31 onto the printing sheet 10 previously printed from the top another multicolored print image applied to the back. From the impression cylinder 33 of the printing unit 31, the printed sheets are sent to a further chain conveyor system 37 pass, which then leads the printed sheets to the chain conveyor system 11 with which the printed sheets can then be laid out on the sheet delivery 14. Become the printing units 30, 31 can also not need the printing sheets from the chain conveyor system 32 directly to the chain conveyor system 11 for return transport to the sheet delivery 14 are handed over.

In Figur 4 ist schließlich eine Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine dargestellt, mittels derer mehrfarbiger Schön- und Widerdruck erzeugbar ist. Dazu ist auf der aus Fig. 1 bekannten Anordnung der Druckwerke 1 bis 4 eine zweite gleichwirkende Anordnung von Druckwerken 41 bis 44 aufgesetzt. Diese Druckwerke 41 bis 44 sind allerdings in ihrer Laufrichtung derjenigen der Druckwerke 1 bis 4 entgegengesetzt angeordnet. Zwischen dem letzten Druckwerk 4 der unteren Maschine und dem ersten Druckwerk 41 der oberen Maschine ist ein Kettenfördersystem 45 angeordnet, das die Druckbogen der oberen Maschine so zuführt, daß deren unbedruckte Rückseite mittels der Druckwerke 41 bis 44 bedruckt werden kann. Dabei werden die Druckbogen mit dem gleichen Greiferrand voraus transportiert wie in den unteren Druckwerken 1 bis 4. Im Anschluß an das Druckwerk 44 ist das nunmehr verkürzte Kettenfördersystem 11 zur Auslage der Druckbogen auf dem Bogenausleger 14 angeordnet. Diese Maschine besteht aus Standardteilen und ermöglicht auf einfache Weise den Schön- und Widerdruck ohne komplizierte Wendeeinrichtungen.Finally, FIG. 4 shows a sheet-fed rotary printing press by means of which multicolored perfecting is possible. For this purpose, the one known from FIG Arrangement of the printing units 1 to 4 a second equivalent arrangement of Printing units 41 to 44 placed. However, these printing units 41 to 44 are in their Direction of rotation of those of the printing units 1 to 4 arranged opposite. Between the last printing unit 4 of the lower press and the first printing unit 41 of the upper one Machine is arranged a chain conveyor system 45, which the printing sheets of the upper Feeds the machine so that its unprinted back by means of the printing units 41st up to 44 can be printed. The printed sheets are with the same gripper edge transported in advance as in the lower printing units 1 to 4. Following the Printing unit 44 is the now shortened chain conveyor system 11 for delivering the printed sheets arranged on the sheet delivery 14. This machine consists of standard parts and enables the perfecting in a simple way without complicated Turning devices.

Neben einem Kettenfördersystem sind in den beschriebenen Konfigurationen von Bogenrotationsdruckmaschinen auch Systeme mit Trommelanordnungen denkbar. Dies ist von den örtlichen Verhältnissen abhängig. Allen Bogentransportmitteln können Bogenführungsmittel in Form von mechanischen Leiteinrichtungen, pneumatischen Leiteinrichtungen oder Kombinationen davon zugeordnet sein. Gleiches gilt für die Zuordnung von Trocknungshilfsmitteln.In addition to a chain conveyor system, the described configurations of sheet-fed rotary printing presses systems with drum arrangements are also conceivable. This is depending on the local conditions. All sheet transport means can sheet guiding means in the form of mechanical guidance devices, pneumatic guidance devices or combinations thereof. The same applies to the assignment of drying aids.

Weiterhin kann in jeder der beschriebenen Konfigurationen auch ein anderes Druckverfahren angewendet werden, z.B. direkter oder indirekter Flexodruck, direkter oder indirekter Tiefdruck, wasserloser Offsetdruck oder verschiedenste Beschichtungsverfahren. Diese Verfahren sind alle in die beschriebenen Logistikverfahren integrierbar. Furthermore, a different printing method can also be used in each of the configurations described applied, e.g. direct or indirect flexographic printing, direct or indirect gravure printing, waterless offset printing or various coating processes. These processes can all be integrated into the described logistics processes.
