Fig. 1 zeigt einen schematisierten Ausschnitt aus einer als Zeitungsdruckmaschine ausgebildeten Rollendruckmaschine im Bereich einer Anordnung 10 aus zwei vertikal übereinander positionierten Druckeinheiten 11, 12. Eine solche Anordnung 10 wird auch als Druckturm bezeichnet. Die beiden Druckeinheiten 11, 12 verfügen jeweils über vier Druckwerke 13, wobei im Bereich jeder Druckeinheit 11, 12 ein bahnförmiger Bedruckstoff 14, der in vertikaler Richtung durch die Druckeinheiten 11, 12 transportiert wird, beidseitig, also im Bereich beider Bedruckstoffbahnoberflächen, bedruckt werden kann. Die Druckeinheiten 11, 12 dienen dem statischen Bedrucken der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 mit einem für alle Druckexemplare gleichen Druckbild. Jedes Druckexemplar umfasst mehrere Druckseiten. Die Druckwerke 13 der Druckeinheiten 11, 12 sind vorzugsweise als Offset-Druckwerke ausgeführt. Es ist auch möglich, dass dieselben als Tiefdruck-Druckwerke ausgeführt sind. Fig. 1 shows a schematic section of a trained as a newspaper printing press web printing machine in the region of an array 10 of two vertically superposed printing units 11, 12. Such an arrangement 10 is also referred to as a printing tower. The two printing units 11, 12 each have four printing units 13, wherein in the region of each printing unit 11, 12 a web-shaped substrate 14, which is transported in the vertical direction by the printing units 11, 12, on both sides, ie in the region of both printing material web surfaces, can be printed , The printing units 11, 12 are used for static printing of the printing material web 14 with a printed image that is the same for all printed copies. Each printed copy contains several printed pages. The printing units 13 of the printing units 11, 12 are preferably designed as offset printing units. It is also possible that they are designed as gravure printing units.

Nach dem Bedrucken der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 im Bereich der Druckeinheiten 11, 12 ist die Bedruckstoffbahn 14 an einer Umlenkrolle 15 derart umlenkbar, dass die Bedruckstoffbahn 14 im Anschluss an die Umlenkrolle 15 im Wesentlichen in horizontaler Richtung in Richtung des Pfeils 16 transportiert wird, um so die statisch bedruckte Bedruckstoffbahn 14 einer Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17 zuzuführen, die dem dynamischen Bedrucken einer Bedruckstoffbahnoberfläche der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 mit einem zumindest für einige Druckexemplare variablen Druckbild dient. Hierdurch ist es möglich, das in den Druckeinheiten 11, 12 gedruckte, statische Druckbild zu individualisieren.After printing on the printing material web 14 in the region of the printing units 11, 12, the printing material web 14 is deflectable on a deflection roller 15 in such a way that the printing material web 14 is transported in the direction of the arrow 16 following the deflection roller 15 substantially in the horizontal direction so as to convey the printing material web 14 supply static printed substrate web 14 of an inkjet printing device 17, which serves the dynamic printing of a printing substrate web surface of the printing material web 14 with a variable at least for some printed copies print image. This makes it possible to customize the printed in the printing units 11, 12, static print image.

Fig. 2 zeigt die im Bereich der Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17 zu bedruckende Bedruckstoffbahn 14 in Draufsicht, wobei quer zur Transportrichtung (Pfeil 16) der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 gesehen exemplarisch jeweils vier Druckseiten 18 nebeneinander auf die Bedruckstoffbahn 14 gedruckt sind. Gemäß Fig. 2 soll an einer Position 19 einer dieser nebeneinander positionierten Druckseiten 18 über die Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17 das vorher gedruckte statische Druckbild dieser Druckseite 18 dynamisiert werden. Fig. 2 shows the printing material web 14 to be printed in the area of the inkjet printing device 17 in plan view, with four printing pages 18 being printed side by side on the printing material web 14, as an example, viewed transversely to the transport direction (arrow 16) of the printing material web 14. According to Fig. 2 to be dynamized at a position 19 of one of these juxtaposed print pages 18 on the inkjet printing device 17, the previously printed static image of this print page 18.

Gemäß Fig. 2 wird die Position 19, an welcher über die Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung das in den Druckeinheiten 11, 12 gedruckte, statische Druckbild dynamisch bedruckt und demnach individualisiert werden soll, über die Maße BV sowie BVq definiert. Das Maß BV bestimmt dabei gemäß Fig. 2 den Abstand der Position 19 von einer in Transportrichtung des Pfeils 16 gesehen vorne liegenden Kante der mit Hilfe der Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17 zu bedruckenden Druckseite 18. Das Maß BVq bestimmt hingegen den Abstand der Position 19 von einer Seitenkante dieser Druckseite 18.According to Fig. 2 is the position 19, at which on the inkjet printing device in the printing units 11, 12 printed static image printed dynamically and thus to be individualized, defined by the measures BV and BVq. The measure BV determines according to Fig. 2 the distance of the position 19 from a front seen in the transport direction of the arrow 16 edge of the inkjet printing device 17 to be printed on the pressure side 18. The dimension BV q , however, determines the distance of the position 19 from a side edge of this print page 18th

Durch Verfahren der auf einer Traverse 20 gelagerten Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 21 und damit quer zur Transportrichtung (Pfeil 16) der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 kann sichergestellt werden, dass zum dynamischen Bedruck die Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17 quer zur Transportrichtung der Bedruckstoffbahn gesehen an die Position 19 der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 positioniert wird, also an das Maß BVq angepasst ist.By moving the traverse 20 mounted inkjet printing device in the direction of the double arrow 21 and thus transversely to the transport direction (arrow 16) of the printing substrate 14 can be ensured that the dynamic printing the inkjet printing device 17 seen transversely to the transport direction of the printing substrate to the position 19 of the substrate web 14 is positioned, that is adapted to the dimension BV q .

Die hier vorliegende Erfindung betrifft nun solche Details, mit Hilfe derer ein Ansteuersignal für die Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17 generiert werden kann, um sicherzustellen, dass das mit der Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17 zu druckende dynamische Druckbild in Transportrichtung (Pfeil 16) der Bedruckstoffbahn gesehen an den gewünschten Position 19 auf der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 bzw. der entsprechenden Druckseite 18 positioniert wird, also an das Maß BV angepasst ist.The present invention now relates to such details, with the aid of which a drive signal for the inkjet printing device 17 can be generated to ensure that the inkjet printing device 17 to be printed dynamic image in the transport direction (arrow 16) of the substrate seen at the desired position 19 is positioned on the substrate web 14 and the corresponding pressure side 18, that is adapted to the measure BV.

Nach der hier vorliegenden Erfindung wird das Ansteuersignal für die Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17 abhängig von einem Triggersignal der Rollendruckmaschine bestimmt, wobei das Triggersignal zumindest mit einem Wegversatz und einem Bearbeitungsversatz und einem Dehnungsversatz verrechnet, nämlich zeitlich modifiziert, wird.According to the present invention, the drive signal for the inkjet printing device 17 is determined depending on a trigger signal of the web press, wherein the trigger signal is at least offset with a displacement offset and a processing offset and a strain offset, namely temporally modified is.

Beim Wegversatz handelt es sich um eine statische Größe, die abhängig von einer Bahnführung der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 durch die Rollendruckmaschine bestimmt wird. Der Wegversatz ist abhängig von der Bahnführung der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 durch die Rollendruckmaschine zwischen einer letzten konventionellen Druckstelle und der Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung. Bei der letzten konventionellen Druckstelle handelt es sich in Fig. 1 um die Druckstelle, die zwischen den beiden oberen Druckwerken 13 der Druckeinheit 11 ausgebildet ist. Diese letzte konventionelle Druckstelle dient dem statischen Bedrucken der Bedruckstoffbahn 14. Der Abstand zwischen dieser letzten konventionellen Druckstelle und der Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17, die dem dynamischen Bedrucken der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 dient, ist von der Bahnführung der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 durch die Rollendruckmaschine abhängig und bestimmt den Wegversatz.The path offset is a static quantity which is determined by the web press depending on a web guide of the printing material web 14. The path offset is dependent on the web guide of the printing substrate 14 through the web press between a last conventional printing location and the inkjet printing device. The last conventional pressure point is in Fig. 1 around the pressure point, which is formed between the two upper printing units 13 of the printing unit 11. The distance between this last conventional printing location and the inkjet printing device 17, which serves the dynamic printing of the printing substrate 14 is dependent on the web guide of the printing material web 14 by the web press and determines the path offset ,

Beim Bearbeitungsversatz handelt es sich um eine statische oder dynamische Größe, die abhängig von einer gewünschten Position eines mit der Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung zu druckenden Druckbilds auf der Bedruckstoffbahn bestimmt wird. Beim Bearbeitungsversatz handelt es sich um die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Größe BV, die abhängig von Druckvorstufendaten und Formatvorgaben bestimmt wird. Beim Dehnungsversatz handelt es sich um eine dynamische Größe, die entweder abhängig von einer Kennlinie oder abhängig von einer Schnittregelung der Rollendruckmaschine bestimmt wird. Bei einer Kennlinie, auf Basis derer der Dehnungsversatz bestimmt werden kann, handelt es sich um eine geschwindigkeitsabhängige Kennlinie, also um eine Kennlinie, die von der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 durch die Rollendruckmaschine abhängig ist.The processing offset is a static or dynamic quantity which is determined on the printing material web as a function of a desired position of a print image to be printed by the inkjet printing device. The processing offset is the in Fig. 2 displayed quantity BV, which is determined depending on prepress data and format specifications. The strain offset is a dynamic quantity that is determined either as a function of a characteristic curve or as a function of a cutting control of the web press. In the case of a characteristic curve on the basis of which the expansion offset can be determined, it is a speed-dependent characteristic curve, that is to say a characteristic which depends on the transport speed of the printing substrate web 14 through the web-fed printing press.

Dann, wenn als Triggersignal das Triggersignal der letzten konventionellen Druckstelle, also in Fig. 1 das Triggersignal der beiden oberen Druckwerke 13 der Druckeinheit 11, verwendet wird, ist es ausreichend, zur Ermittlung des Ansteuersignals das Triggersignal der letzten konventionellen Druckstelle mit dem Wegversatz und dem Bearbeitungsversatz und dem Dehnungsversatz zu verrechnen.Then, if as a trigger signal, the trigger signal of the last conventional pressure point, ie in Fig. 1 the trigger signal of the two upper printing units 13 of the printing unit 11 is used, it is sufficient to calculate the trigger signal of the last conventional printing point with the displacement offset and the machining offset and the elongation offset to determine the drive signal.

Wird hingegen als Triggersignal ein Haupttriggersignal einer Leitachse der Rollendruckmaschine verwendet, so wird das Haupttriggersignal zur Bestimmung des Ansteuersignals für die Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17 zusätzlich zum Wegversatz und Bearbeitungsversatz und Dehnungsversatz auch mit einem Lageversatz verrechnet. Beim Lageversatz handelt es sich um eine statische oder dynamische Größe, die abhängig ist von der Verdrehung der letzten konventionellen Druckstelle relativ zur Leitachse der Rollendruckmaschine, die das Haupttriggersignal liefert. Der Lageversatz entspricht demnach einer Verschiebung des allgemeinen Druckbilds in Bahnlaufrichtung, der durch eine Winkelverdrehung der Druckwerke gegenüber der Leitachse bestimmt wird.If, on the other hand, a main trigger signal of a leading axis of the web-fed printing press is used as the trigger signal, then the main trigger signal for determining the drive signal for the inkjet printing device 17 is also offset with a positional offset in addition to the path offset and machining offset and expansion offset. The positional offset is a static or dynamic quantity that depends on the rotation of the last conventional pressure point relative to the leading axis of the web press that provides the main trigger signal. The positional offset accordingly corresponds to a shift of the general printed image in the web running direction, which is determined by an angular rotation of the printing units relative to the leading axis.

Neben den oben erwähnten Größen ist das Ansteuersignal für die Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung weiterhin von der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Bedruckstoffbahn 14, vom vertikalen Abstand der Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17 von einer zu bedruckenden Bedruckstoffbahnoberfläche der Bedruckstoffbahn und von der Laufgeschwindigkeit der mit Hilfe der Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17 aufzutragenden Druckfarbetropfen abhängig. Diese drei Größen bestimmen einen Laufzeitversatz, mit dem das Triggersignal zusätzlich zum Wegversatz, Bearbeitungsversatz und Dehnungsversatz verrechnet wird. Bei der Laufgeschwindigkeit der Druckfarbetropfen handelt es sich um die Laufgeschwindigkeit des Bearbeitungsmediums der als Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung 17 ausgebildeten.Bearbeitungseinrichtung. Bei anderen Bearbeitungseinrichtungen wie z.B. einer Laserschneideinrichtung ist diese Laufgeschwindigkeit nahezu unendlich groß, sodass der Laufzeitversatz dann vernachlässigt werden kann.In addition to the above-mentioned sizes, the drive signal for the inkjet printing device continues to depend on the transport speed of the printing material web 14, the vertical distance of the inkjet printing device 17 from a printing substrate web surface to be printed and the running speed of the ink droplets to be applied with the aid of the inkjet printing device 17 dependent. These three variables determine a runtime offset with which the trigger signal is offset in addition to the path offset, machining offset and strain offset. The running speed of the ink droplets is the running speed of the processing medium of the inkjet printing device 17. In other processing devices, such as e.g. a laser cutting device, this running speed is almost infinitely large, so that the runtime offset can then be neglected.

Durch die obige Ermittlung des Ansteuersignals für die Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung kann sichergestellt werden, dass ein mit Hilfe der Inkjet-Druckeinrichtung zu druckendes, dynamisches Druckbild in Transportrichtung der Bedruckstoffbahn 14 gesehen stets an der richtigen Position auf die Bedruckstoffbahn 14 gedruckt wird.As a result of the above determination of the drive signal for the inkjet printing device, it can be ensured that a dynamic print image to be printed with the aid of the inkjet printing device is always printed on the printing material web 14 in the transport direction of the printing material web 14.

Vorzugsweise wird das automatisiert bestimmte Ansteuersignal mit einem Bedienversatz verrechnet, den ein Drucker zur individuellen Beeinflussung der in Transportrichtung der Bedruckstoffbahn gesehen gewünschten Position der mit der Bearbeitungseinrichtung auszuführenden Bearbeitung manuell vorgibt. Hierdurch kann die Regelung auf Basis des automatisch bestimmten Ansteuersignals manuell beeinflusst werden. Über diesen Bedienversatz ist der Bearbeitungsversatz dynamisch manuell vom Drucker anpassbar.The automatically determined control signal is preferably offset with an operating offset, which a printer manually specifies for the individual influencing of the desired position of the processing to be carried out with the processing device in the transport direction of the printing material web. As a result, the control can be influenced manually on the basis of the automatically determined control signal. Using this operating offset, the machining offset can be dynamically adjusted manually by the printer.
