Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing press, in particular rotary pad printing press with at least one receiving means, which has several recordings arranged at a distance from each other, on which to attach an object to be printed and with at least one printing module with which the said Objects can be printed on with the recording medium running continuously are.
  • Printing machines of the type mentioned are known and are especially for printing on uneven objects, such as Bottle caps or keyboards used.
  • multi-color printing is a series of printing modules intended. Basically, however, is a single color print possible with just one print module.
  • the invention also relates to a method for printing objects with at least one pad pressure module.
  • the printing module has a paint tray into which a inking roller is immersed.
  • This inking roller dyes a cliché roller from which removes excess ink by means of a squeegee device becomes.
  • the cliché roller dyes a tampon roller, which Objects printed one after the other.
  • the objects on the circumference of a wheel are each on one Recording attached. The wheel turns continuously and the objects are printed accordingly on the standing print modules.
  • a loading device brings the objects to be printed on the wheel and after printing the objects removed from the wheel with an unloading device and one fed further processing.
  • the invention has for its object a printing press mentioned genus so that a more precise pressure is also possible with high performance.
  • the printing press is supposed to still be reliable and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the task is therefore in a generic printing press solved that the receiving means of a first drive and that Pressure module driven by a second, highly dynamic drive and that this second, highly dynamic drive is that Print module controls so that this manufacturing tolerances of the receiving means automatically compensated.
  • the highly dynamic second drive thus controls the pressure module according to the positions of the objects or recordings.
  • the Recording means which is designed in particular as a wheel can rotate at a constant speed during printing. It has been shown that with the printing press according to the invention a precision can be achieved that enables digital printing. According to a development of the invention, the pressure module a digital printing module.
  • measuring means are provided with which to control the pressure module the distances between the recordings can be determined.
  • These measuring devices point according to a development of the invention on the receiving means Angle of rotation to determine the distances between the Recordings on.
  • a light sensor Preferably by means of a light sensor the start and end of the distance measurements are given. A particularly precise measurement is obtained if, according to a Further development of the invention arranged the light sensor is that he is interrupted by a recording.
  • induction sensors provided to position the receiving means and the printing module. This enables particularly precise control.
  • the invention is Printing machine designed so that the distances between the Recordings in a learning trip can be determined.
  • the determined distances between the recordings are saved in a register and based on these distances the pressure module is controlled. Division tolerances between the images can be very be exactly compensated.
  • the clichés are on the cliché roller determines and tolerance deviations in the positions the clichés are also taken into account in the control. This enables particularly precise printing.
  • the printing machine shown in Figure 1 is a rotary pad printing machine and has a machine frame 2, on which a wheel-shaped receiving means 5 rotatably mounted on an axis 7 is.
  • On the circumference of the receiving means 5 are recordings 6, for example Arbors arranged, each one in Figure 2 shown object 8, for example a bottle cap, can record.
  • the bottle caps 8 are for example on the Recordings 6 releasably snapped on.
  • the feeding of the objects 8 takes place with a loading device 3, which the objects 8 feeds individually.
  • the items 8 would be consecutive printed in three colors by three printing modules A, B and C.
  • To the objects 8 are printed by means of an unloading device 4 removed from the receiving means 5 and the further processing fed. The objects 8 thus leave the receiving means 5 within one revolution.
  • the receiving means 5 is not necessarily wheel-shaped, but can also, for example be formed by an endless chain or the like.
  • the receiving means 5 is constant by a first drive 9 Rotational speed driven.
  • the drive takes place independent of the drive of the print modules A, B and C.
  • the printing modules A to C can all be of the same design. she each print different colors, which in this case result in a three-color print. Basically, there is also one Version with only one printing module, for example with the printing module A conceivable.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show the printing module A, which is a housing 2 has, on the rotatable inking roller 14, a Cliche roller 15, a tampon roller 17 and a cleaning roller 28 one Cleaning device 25 are stored.
  • the inking roller 14 dips into an ink tray 13 and dyes the cliché roller 15 on.
  • a squeegee device 20 known per se squeegees the peripheral surface the cliché roller 15. Strip two scraper arms 27 the side surface of the cliché roller 15 and remove this way left-over paint residues.
  • the cliché roller 15 dyes in the tampon roller 17 a known manner, so that in regular Clearances on the peripheral surface 32 of the tampon roller 17 print images 26 are available.
  • the cleaning roller 28 which is heated residual ink is removed from the peripheral surface 32.
  • the tampon roller 17 has a rubber-elastic body 33, the is secured against rotation on a core 34.
  • the core 34 is seated on a shaft 35, which is visible in Figure 4 and which in the Protrudes housing 12 and on the one not shown here Spur gear sits.
  • This spur gear forms with two others Spur gears 21 and 22 a gear 30 with which the tampon roller 17 and the cliché roller 15 are driven.
  • the spur gears 21 and 22 each consist of two part wheels, the to be braced against each other to take up a backlash.
  • the gear 30 is designed such that the cliché roller 15 rotated faster according to their smaller size is and between the cliché roller 15 and the tampon roller 17 no slip occurs.
  • the cleaning roller 28 is through Friction on the tampon roller 17 driven.
  • the inking roller 14 is driven by friction from the cliché roller 15.
  • the highly dynamic second drive 10 has a servo motor 11 on which is mounted on the housing 12 and which the spur gear 21 of the transmission 30 drives.
  • the spur gear 21 meshes with the spur gear mentioned above and not visible here, the sits on the drive shaft 35.
  • This spur gear meshes with the spur gear 22, which on the drive shaft 36 of the cliché roller 15 is attached.
  • the cliché roller 15 and the tampon roller 33 are thus mechanically fixed to one another via the gear 30 coupled.
  • the is highly dynamic Drive 10 independently of the first drive 9 of the receiving means 5th
  • the receptacles 6 of the receptacle 5 are each in accordance with Figure 2 arranged at a distance D from one another, as shown in FIG. 2 is shown. These distances are due to manufacturing tolerances not exactly the same.
  • Figure 2 the distance between the receptacle 6 and the receptacle 6 'D-0.5 mm and the distance between the receptacle 6 '' and the receptacle 6 '''D + 0.5 mm.
  • the deviations can of course also be smaller here be, for example 0.1 mm. Because of these deviations the prints on items 8, 8 ', 8' 'and 8' '' accordingly postponed.
  • the distance D is on the shaft 7 of the receiving means 5, a rotation angle sensor S1 is arranged. moreover is a stationary light sensor on the circumference of the receiving means 5 S3 arranged, which forms a light barrier that the Rotation of the recording means 5 interrupted by the recordings 6 becomes.
  • the light sensor S3 starts or ends the distance measurements of the rotation angle sensor S1.
  • the rotation angle sensor S1 and the light sensor S3 are this activates and determine all distances D between neighboring recordings 6. These measurements are given in the Register saved.
  • inductive sensor S2 or S2 ' For determining the positions of the receiving means 5 and the tampon roller 17 are each one of these arranged inductive sensor S2 or S2 ', as shown in Figure 5 is shown.
  • the printing modules A, B and C are controlled so that the above Manufacturing tolerances are automatically compensated. This is explained in more detail below with reference to FIG. 2.
  • the receiving means 5 is at a constant speed driven what in Figure 2 with the straight line 37 is indicated. This speed is from the first drive 9 determined.
  • the speed of the tampon roller 17 is on the other hand not constant and indicated in FIG. 2 by line 36. Lines 36 and 37 indicate the double arrow 38 Speed over time. The curves 36 and 37 are explained using the print module A. The same applies to print modules B and C.
  • the print module A is in engagement with the receptacle 6 or the object 8, this object 8 with the tampon roller 17 printed.
  • the speeds of the recording medium 5 and the pad roller 17 are accurate during this procedure same and constant.
  • the distance was increased during the learning trip measured between the receptacle 6 and 6 'and has this measurement show that this distance is smaller than the setpoint.
  • the course of curve K1 is only exemplary in FIG. 2 specified. The course can also be different.
  • the Object 8 ' is again at a constant speed of the second drive 10 printed.
  • the distance D between the Recordings 6 'and 6' ' correspond to the setpoint. Between the objects 8 'and 8' 'therefore becomes the speed of the second Drive 10 not changed. Between the shots 6 "and 6 '' ', on the other hand, the distance is larger than the setpoint.
  • Corresponding is the distance C2 between the objects 8 '' and 8 ''' ' greater than the setpoint. In this area of distance C2 the speed of the second drive 10 is now increased, as indicated in Figure 2 with the curve K2.
  • the speed the drive 10 is thus briefly increased and then falls back to the speed of curve 37. Due to the accelerations according to curves K1 and K2 the manufacturing tolerances mentioned are compensated very precisely. Due to these compensations, the printed images 26 are Tampon roller 17 each with respect to objects 8 to 8 '' ' positioned. Of course, this applies to everyone too printing objects.
  • the learning trip mentioned is fundamental required only once for each shot 5. After one Changing the recording 5, a new learning trip is carried out and the corresponding distances are stored in the register mentioned. In principle, one can also take one before each recording a learning trip can be carried out in the new print series. Is conceivable but also an embodiment in which the distances D can be measured directly during operation. One at low speed carried out learning trip results however a special accurate measurement.
  • the print modules A, B and C are according to the embodiment shown Pad printing modules. Because of the high printing accuracy raster printing is also possible. On the three tampon rollers 17 are in this case, for example, a picture part in one Color. These parts of the picture then become on every object Image added.
  • Tolerance deviations can also occur on the cliché roller 15, in particular, the distances between the clichés from Setpoint deviate, which also lead to deviations in the print can.
  • a measuring device not shown here, for example one Laser measuring device, the positions of the clichés measured and the corresponding ones Measured values stored in the register. By the controller of the second drive 10, these deviations can also be compensated become.
