Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for printing on workpieces and to a printing device.
  • a distinction is made today between the "multipass” method and the “single-pass” method.
  • the multipass method the workpiece is at rest while the one or more digital printheads reciprocate over the workpiece. Subsequently, the workpiece advances again for a portion of a printhead width, comes to rest again, and the printing operation with the movement of the printheads is repeated; This process is repeated until complete printing of the workpiece.
  • the present invention solves this task with a method having the features of claim 1 and a printing device with the features of claim 3 solved.
  • the method according to the invention for printing on workpieces comprises the following steps:
  • the printer By using a recognizer for detecting the position or speed of the workpieces on the workpiece carriers, it is possible to control the printer depending on the actual speed of the workpieces. 75 If the movement of the workpieces is a little slower, the printer can compensate for the slower transport movement by proportionally slowing down the printing speed. Conversely, with a faster transport movement of the workpieces and the printing speed can be increased proportionally, so that as a result, even with changes in the speed of

  • the workpieces conveyed one behind the other can also be guided and printed with high precision transversely to the feed direction, so that a particularly high print quality is achieved.
  • the problems mentioned above with the printing of the edges or white stripes are avoided at the edges.
  • the guide device comprises a linear rail aligned with its longitudinal axis parallel to the conveying direction.
  • one or more ball-bearing rollers may be attached to the workpiece carriers, which are supported on the at least one linear rail, so that a high-precision guidance is obtained. Due to the high-precision guidance, certain parts of the printed image can be exact
  • the workpiece carriers comprise a transverse bar whose longitudinal axis extends substantially perpendicular to the conveying direction 115.
  • fastening means preferably suction elements for the fixation of the workpieces can be provided.
  • Print quality can be further increased. As a result, movement tolerances of the conveyor can be compensated.

  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show a conveying apparatus without the printer arranged above it, in particular the digital printer.
  • the conveying device comprises
  • Both toothed pulleys each drive a circulating toothed belt 10.
  • the two parallel guided toothed belt 10 are connected to a plurality of workpiece carriers 7, which are moved together with the toothed belt 10 circumferentially in the manner of a conveyor belt.
  • the circulating workpiece carriers 7 are
  • each workpiece carrier 7 a plurality of fastening means 12 are provided in the form of suction elements, which suck on vacuum on the fastening means placed plate-shaped workpieces 4 and the workpiece carriers
  • workpiece carrier 7 are connected to vacuum generating units 6, which generate within a frame structure 60 and along channels a negative pressure, which is then fed via openings or slots on the timing belt 10 in the fastening means 12 to fix the workpieces 4.
  • the negative pressure on the fastening means 12 is

  • Guide rail 8 is provided, as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
  • the guide rail 8 is fixed on a longitudinal support 80 which is aligned in the conveying direction and which is designed as a steel profile and is fixed to a frame of the conveying device. For exact guidance of the workpiece carrier 7 engage on opposite

  • the guide rail 8 and the rails 22 are made of hardened steel, for example, and are aligned with high precision with a tolerance of less than 0.01 mm transversely to the feed direction.
  • the plate-shaped workpieces 4 are continuously transferred by a conveyor belt 30 without speed change to the conveyor device shown in Figures 2 and 3.
  • the workpiece carriers 7 run during the reception of the workpieces 4

  • the individual workpiece carriers 7 are pulled to the right and left of the two toothed belts 10 and are supported on the guide rail 8 and the rails 22 via the ball-mounted guide rollers 20 and rollers 21 mounted below, so that they are transversely to the Feed direction with a tolerance of less than 0.01 mm.
  • the toothed belts 10 on the right and left of the conveying device are driven by a toothed wheel with rounded flanks to prevent a fluctuation of the transport speed (prevention of the "polygon effect".)

  • the toothed belt pulley is flanged.
  • the toothed belt pulley preferably has a diameter of more than 400 mm.
  • At the end of the transport path there is a deflection roller 32 for each toothed belt 10, in which the payment belts 10 are deflected and are conveyed back again on the rear side below the transport path.
  • the workpiece carriers 7 run at the end of the transport path
  • the ball-bearing central guide rollers 20 disengage from the end bevelled guide rail 8, and are then taken from the timing belt 10 right and left of the transport route and returned under the transport route again.

  • the individual suction elements are equipped with correspondingly small openings, so that even for the suction elements, which are not occupied by a workpiece 4, only a small outflow of air goes through, which does not cause the vacuum to collapse. Problems with so-called false air are thus excluded.
  • a printer 14 is mounted, which is designed as a digital printer and prints in the single-pass process workpieces 4, which are conveyed via the conveyor.
  • the workpieces 4 are guided so that they are performed exactly at the predetermined vertical distance to print heads 15 of the printer 14 240 and exactly laterally in the track under the print heads 15 during the printing process continuously at a constant speed.
  • a detection device for the current position of the workpieces 4 may be provided, for example for detecting a leading edge of the workpiece for detecting the start of printing and a printing
  • the detection device may include, for example, a mounted on the workpiece carriers 7 tracking magnetic strip, which from a fixed sensor with high frequency of z. B. 10 kHz is sampled.
  • the detection device can also be characterized by a very precise friction wheel on one of the timing belt or by others
  • optical cameras or laser light barriers can be realized.
  • a detection device for detecting the position of the workpieces 4 on the workpiece carriers 7 it is possible to control the printer 14 depending on the speed of the workpieces 4. Is the transport movement of the workpieces 4 slower, the printer 14 can compensate for the slower transport movement by proportionally slowing down the print speed. Conversely, with a faster transport movement of the workpieces 4, the printing speed can be increased proportionally, so that as a result, even with changes in the speed of the workpieces 4, an optimum print image with high quality is obtained.
  • the detection device for detecting the conveying speed of the workpiece 4 to be printed is arranged in the area of the printer 14, preferably below the printer 14, so that the conveying speed of the workpieces 4 in this area is measured. Deviations in the conveying speed are forwarded to an electronic control device, which processes the data.

  • 275 piece carrier 7 and the fasteners are varied, depending on the requirements of the given workpieces 4.
  • the manifestation of the workpiece carrier 7 will be correspondingly smaller, so that the workpieces 4 are securely fastened and not fall into the interstices of the workpiece carrier through or inaccurate to lie down.
