Preferably, the width of the portion of water-friendly material is slightly larger than the stroke of a distributor roller and is advantageously in the range of 18 to 26 mm and is advantageously 22 mm.

Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt bezieht sich die Erfindung auf ein Farb- und/oder Feuchtwerk bevorzugt für Offset-Druckmaschinen mit mindestens einer wie oben beschriebenen Walze.According to another aspect, the invention relates to a color and / or dampening unit preferably for offset printing machines with at least one roller as described above.

Nach einem weiteren Aspekt bezieht sich die Erfindung auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer wie oben beschriebenen Walze, wobei an einem Walzenrohkörper mindestens zwei etwa ringförmige oder teilringförmige Strukturen aus einem farbfreundlichen Material und dazwischen liegend mindestens eine ringförmige Struktur aus einem farbabstoβenden Material im Oberflächenbereich oder unmittelbar an der Oberfläche der Walze ausgebildet, also zum Beispiel freigelegt, angebracht oder darauf beschichtet werden.According to a further aspect, the invention relates to a method for producing a roller as described above, wherein at least two approximately annular or partially annular structures of a color-friendly material and intervening at least one annular structure of a Farbabstoβenden material in the surface region or directly to a Walzenrohkörper formed the surface of the roller, so for example exposed, attached or coated thereon.

Vorteilhaft wird die erfindungsgemäße Walze hergestellt, indem ein Walzenrohkörper oder Rohr durch Drehen vorbearbeitet wird, um eine Oberfläche mit einer gewünschten Beschaffenheit zu erhalten. In dem Walzenrohkörper können gemäß einer Ausführungsform schon ein oder mehrere Teilbereiche aus farbfreundlichem und farbabstoßendem bzw. farbabweisendes Material vorgesehen sein. Es ist auch möglich, dass ein farbfreundliches oder farbabstoßendes Material auf den Walzenrohkörper an den gewünschten Stellen aufgebracht wird. Das Aufbringen eines farbfreundlichen oder farbabstoßenden Materials kann zum Beispiel durch Verchromen, Aufschweißen oder durch ein Beschichtungsverfahren, wie zum Beispiel eine Plasmabeschichtung durchgeführt werden. Vorteilhaft kann ein Bereich am Übergang zwischen farbfreundlichen und farbabstoßenden oder -abweisenden Materialien oder ein Randbereich versiegelt werden, um zum Beispiel ein Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit in die Walze zu verhindern. Nach dem Aufbringen und/oder Freilegen und/oder Nachbearbeiten der Materialien aus farbfreundlichem und/oder farbabstoßendem Material kann eine Nachbearbeitung der so hergestellten Walze durch Drehen oder Überschleifen durchgeführt werden, um eine Walze zu erhalten, welche zum Beispiel in einem Farb- oder Feuchtwerk einer Druckmaschine eingesetzt werden kann.Advantageously, the roll according to the invention is produced by pre-processing a roll blank or pipe by turning to obtain a surface having a desired texture. In accordance with one embodiment, one or more subsections of color-friendly and ink-repellent or ink-repellent material can already be provided in the roll raw body. It is also possible that a color-friendly or ink-repellent material is applied to the Walzenrohkörper at the desired locations. The application of a color-friendly or ink-repellent material can be carried out, for example, by chromium plating, welding or by a coating method such as, for example, a plasma coating. Advantageously, an area at the transition between color-friendly and ink-repellent or repellent materials or a marginal area can be sealed in order to prevent, for example, moisture from entering the roller. After applying and / or exposing and / or reworking the materials of color-friendly and / or ink-repellent material, a post-processing of the roller thus produced by turning or grinding can be performed to obtain a roller, which, for example, in a paint or dampening of a Printing machine can be used.

Figur 1 zeigt in einer Schnittansicht einen Teilbereich einer erfindungsgemäßen Walze, wobei der Aufbau der Walze von der Mittelachse zur Oberfläche hin dargestellt ist. Die beispielhaft dargestellte Walze ist in vier Abschnitte der Breite Y, zugeordnet zu Zonen A bis D unterteilt, welche jeweils in etwa gleich breit sind und in etwa einem Satzspiegel entsprechen. In den Zonen A bis D ist an der Oberfläche ein farbfreundliches oder hydrophobes Material 25, 33, wie zum Beispiel Keramik, Kupfer, Polyamid oder Rilsan (R) mit einer Schichtdicke von ca. 0,3 mm angebracht. Zwischen dem farbfreundlichen Material ist an der Oberfläche farbabstoßendes oder wasserfreundliches Material 23, 34, im Ausführungsbeispiel Chrom, mit einer Schichtdicke von etwa 0,02 bis 0,05 mm und einer Breite von etwa 20 bis 24 mm angeordnet. Die Oberfläche der erfindungsgemäßen Walze ist demzufolge so ausgestaltet, dass über die eher einer Papierbreite B für den Druck entsprechende Oberfläche abwechselnd ein farbfreundliches Material, welches dem Satzspiegel zugeordnet ist und ein wasserfreundliches Material, welches zwischen zwei benachbarten farbfreundlichen Materialien liegt, angeordnet ist. FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of a portion of a roller according to the invention, wherein the structure of the roller is shown from the central axis to the surface. The roller shown by way of example is subdivided into four sections of width Y, assigned to zones A to D, which each have approximately the same width and correspond approximately to a type area mirror. In the zones A to D, a color-friendly or hydrophobic material 25, 33, such as ceramic, copper, polyamide or Rilsan (R) with a layer thickness of about 0.3 mm is attached to the surface. Between the color-friendly material is on the surface of ink repellent or water-friendly material 23, 34, arranged in the embodiment of chromium, with a layer thickness of about 0.02 to 0.05 mm and a width of about 20 to 24 mm. Accordingly, the surface of the roller according to the invention is designed such that a color-friendly material which is assigned to the type area and a water-friendly material which lies between two adjacent color-friendly materials is arranged alternately over the surface corresponding more to a paper width B for the printing.

Eine mit einer solchen Oberfläche versehene Feuchtreiberwalze, welche im Druckeinsatz mit einem Hub von beispielsweise 20 mm in axialer Richtung hin- und herbewegt wird, stellt einerseits sicher, dass durch das dem Satzspiegel zugeordnete farbfreundliche Material das Übertragen einer Farbe möglich ist und verhindert andererseits durch das zwischen den Bereichen aus farbfreundlichem Material liegende farbabstoßende oder wasserfreundliche Material, dass sich Farben, welche in benachbarten Zonen nebeneinander laufen, vermischen können. Der Oberflächenbereich aus wasserfreundlichem Material stellt im Betrieb eine ausreichende Zu- und Abfuhr von Wasser sicher und kann somit eine über den Rand einer Zone bzw. eines Satzspiegels hinausfließende Farbe abtransportieren und kann somit verhindern, dass diese Farbe in eine benachbarte Zone oder einen benachbarten Satzspiegel läuft.On the one hand, a dampening drive roller provided with such a surface, which is moved back and forth in the axial direction in the printing insert with a stroke of, for example, 20 mm, ensures that the color-friendly material assigned to the type area mirror the transfer of a color is possible and on the other hand prevented by lying between the areas of color-friendly material ink-repellent or water-friendly material that colors that run in adjacent zones next to each other, can mix. The surface area of water-friendly material ensures a sufficient supply and discharge of water during operation and can thus carry away beyond the edge of a zone or a sentence mirror outgoing color and thus can prevent this color runs in an adjacent zone or an adjacent type area ,

Figur 2 zeigt eine erste Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zur Herstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Walze. In dem mit 1 bezeichneten Ausgangszustand liegt ein Walzenrohkörper oder Rohr 20 vor, welches durch Drehen so vorbearbeitet wird, dass vier umlaufende Vertiefungen 21 erzeugt werden. Zwischen jeweils zwei Vertiefungen 21 befindet sich jeweils ein umlaufender Vorsprung 22. FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of a method according to the invention for producing a roll according to the invention. In the initial state designated 1, there is a roll raw body or tube 20, which is pre-machined by turning so that four circumferential recesses 21 are produced. Between each two recesses 21 is in each case a circumferential projection 22nd

In Schritt 2 wird jeder umlaufende Vorsprung 22 verchromt und so eine Lage Chrom 23 aufgebracht.In step 2, each circumferential projection 22 is chrome plated and so a layer of chromium 23 applied.

Als nächstes wird an den mit 24 gekennzeichneten Übergängen zwischen dem aufgebrachten Chrom 23 und dem Walzenrohkörper 20 eine Schweißnaht 24 angebracht, um eine wasserdichte Versiegelung am Rand der Chromschicht 23 herzustellen. Bevorzugt kann die Schweißnaht 24 aufgeraut werden, um ein besseres Anhaften der im Schritt 4 aufzubringenden farbfreundlichen oder hydrophoben Beschichtung 25 zu gewährleisten.Next, at the transitions marked 24, between the deposited chromium 23 and the cylindrical tube 20, a weld 24 is applied to produce a watertight seal at the edge of the chrome layer 23. Preferably, the weld 24 can be roughened to ensure better adhesion of the applied in step 4 color-friendly or hydrophobic coating 25.

Beispielsweise kann ein Polyamid als farbfreundliche Schicht 25 aufgebracht werden. Es ist möglich eine Plasmabeschichtung durchzuführen, um die farbfreundliche Schicht 25 zu erzeugen. Ebenso kann eine Hartverchromung durchgeführt werden. Vorteilhaft wird Rilsan als farbfreundliches Material 25 auf die Walze 20 aufgebracht. Die farbfreundliche Schicht kann entweder als einzelne Lage oder in mehreren Lagen - im Ausführungsbeispiel drei Lagen - auf die Walze 20 aufgebracht werden.For example, a polyamide can be applied as a color-friendly layer 25. It is possible to perform a plasma coating to produce the color-friendly layer 25. Likewise, a hard chrome plating can be performed. Rilsan is advantageously applied as a color-friendly material 25 on the roller 20. The color-friendly layer can be applied to the roller 20 either as a single layer or in multiple layers-in the exemplary embodiment, three layers.

Abschließend kann, wie in Schritt 5 gezeigt, die durch die Bearbeitungsschritte 1 bis 4 hergestellte Walze 20 überschliffen oder gedreht werden, um eine im Wesentlichen planare Oberfläche mit umlaufenden farbfreundlichen Teilbereichen 25 zu erhalten, welche durch umlaufende farbabweisende oder wasserfreundliche Teilbereich 23 unterbrochen bzw. voneinander getrennt werden.Finally, as shown in step 5, the roller 20 produced by the processing steps 1 to 4 can be ground or turned to obtain a substantially planar surface with circumferential color-friendly portions 25 which are interrupted by circumferential ink-repellent or water-friendly portions 23 be separated.

Figur 3 zeigt Verfahrensschritte zur Durchführung eines zweiten erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zur Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Walze. FIG. 3 shows process steps for carrying out a second process according to the invention for producing the roll according to the invention.

Bei Schritt 1 wird ein Walzenrohkörper 30 bei der durch den Pfeil gekennzeichneten Fläche durch Überdrehen bearbeitet, um die Oberfläche des Walzenrohkörpers 30 für das nachfolgende Herstellungsverfahren planar zu machen. Anschließend wird in Schritt 2 eine um die Mittelachse des Walzenrohkörpers 30 umlaufende Vertiefung 31 durch Einstechen oder ein anderes materialabhebendes Verfahren erzeugt. Anschließend wird, wie in Schritt 3 gezeigt, in die in Schritt 2 ausgebildete Vertiefung 31 durch rostfreies Aufschweißen ein Material 32 aufgebracht. Nachfolgend wird, wie in Schritt 4 gezeigt, durch Vordrehen die Oberfläche des durch die Schritte 1 bis 3 vorbearbeiteten Walzenrohkörpers 30 in eine gewünschte Form gebracht, wobei die außenliegende Oberfläche des in Schritt 3 aufgebrachten Materials 32 planar gemacht und die Breite dieses Materials 32 auf die gewünschte Breite verkleinert wird.In step 1, a roll raw body 30 is processed by over-turning in the area indicated by the arrow to make the surface of the Walzenrohkörpers 30 planar for the subsequent manufacturing process. Subsequently, in step 2, a recess 31 running around the central axis of the rolling raw body 30 is produced by piercing or another material-removing method. Subsequently, as shown in step 3, a material 32 is applied to the recess 31 formed in step 2 by stainless welding. Subsequently, as shown in step 4, the surface of the raw cylindrical body 30 pre-machined by steps 1 to 3 is made into a desired shape by pre-turning, the outer surface of the material 32 applied in step 3 being made planar and the width of this material 32 being planarized desired width is reduced.

Im nachfolgenden Schritt 5 wird ein farbfreundliches Material 33, wie zum Beispiel Rilsan (R) auf die Oberflächenbereiche des Walzenrohkörpers 30 aufgebracht, welche an den vorstehenden Bereich des Materials 32 angrenzen. Wie oben bei Figur 2 beschrieben, können eine oder mehrere Schichten des farbfreundlichen Materials 33 aufgebracht werden. Die außenliegende Oberfläche des zwischen dem farbfreundlichen Material 33 eingebetteten Materials 32 wird in Schritt 6 hartverchromt, um eine farbabweisende Chromschicht 34 aufzubringen und nachfolgend wird der durch die Schritte 1 bis 6 bearbeitete Walzenrohkörper 30 in Schritt 7 überschliffen, um eine im Wesentlichen planare Außenoberfläche zu erhalten.In the subsequent step 5, a color-friendly material 33, such as Rilsan (R) is applied to the surface regions of the Walzenrohkörpers 30, which adjoin the projecting portion of the material 32. As above FIG. 2 described, one or more layers of the color-friendly material 33 may be applied. The outermost surface of the material 32 embedded between the color-friendly material 33 is hard-chrome plated in step 6 to apply a chromium color-repellent layer 34, and subsequently the green-body 30 processed by steps 1-6 is ground in step 7 to obtain a substantially planar outer surface ,

Obwohl in den Figuren 2 und 3 Ausführungsbeispiele zur Herstellung von Walzen bzw. Walzenoberflächen mit vier bzw. zwei Teilbereichen aus farbfreundlichem Material gezeigt sind, können diese Verfahren zur Herstellung einer beliebigen Anzahl von Beschichtungen von Walzen mit farbfreundlichen und farbabweisenden Oberflächen verwendet werden.Although in the Figures 2 and 3 Embodiments for producing roll surfaces having four or two portions of color-friendly material are shown, these methods can be used to produce any number of coatings of rolls with color-friendly and ink-repellent surfaces.
