Abstract

PURPOSE:To continuously measure the amt. of damping water for a plate surface without chopping IR rays and without interruption by using germanium photodiode as a detecting element. CONSTITUTION:The ray radiated from a halogen lamp 1 is conducted by an optical fiber 3 to the plate surface 4. The ray reflected from the surface 4 is conducted by the optical fiber 3 to a semitransparent mirror 5 where the ray is bisected. The bisected rays arrive respectively via a filter 6 for measuring light and a filter 7 for reference light at the germanium photodiodes 8, 9. The germanium photodiodes, unlike other IR detectors such as, for example, PbS or PbSe, have the advantage that said diodes can continuously measure the incident IR rays without the need for chopping the IR rays. The amt. of the damping water for one rotation of the plate cylinder of a lithographic printing machine can, therefore, be continuously measured without interruption.

Traditionally, printing press operators have been able to determine the amount of light reflected on the printing plate surface,
The amount of dampening water is controlled by empirically determining whether the amount of dampening water is excessive or insufficient based on gloss, etc., or by frequently inspecting printed matter, but due to problems such as the accuracy of judgment and the need for skill, There is a great demand for automatic control of the amount of dampening water.

A method of measuring the amount of dampening water on a cough plate by detecting the amount of attenuation of infrared rays of a specific wavelength absorbed by the dampening water from the infrared rays reflected from the cough plate is generally known. These are two types of filters: a filter that transmits only infrared rays at wavelengths that are absorbed by water in the optical path of continuous light emitted from a light source, and a filter that transmits only infrared rays at wavelengths that are not absorbed by water in the vicinity of the wavelengths. After rotating (chopping) a filter wheel equipped with a The infrared intensity of one wavelength is detected by a detector and attenuated by absorption according to the amount of water.

"Structure of the Invention" (Means for Solving the Problems) Namely, the present invention irradiates infrared rays emitted from a light source onto the plate surface of a lithographic printing machine, and uses the infrared rays reflected from the non-printing area to dampen the plate surface. In a method of measuring the amount of dampening water on the surface of a cough plate by detecting the amount of attenuation of infrared rays of a specific wavelength absorbed by water, a germanium photodiode is used as an element (sensor) for detecting the amount of attenuation of the infrared rays. This is a method that continuously measures the amount of dampening water per printing plate without chopping infrared rays. In addition, the light source such as a halogen lamp, iodine lamp, tungsten lamp, or xenon lamp, and a light guide tube for irradiating the infrared rays from the light source to the dampening water amount measurement point on the plate surface of the lithographic printing machine are translucent to prevent infrared rays reflected from the second plate surface. A light guide tube to guide the reflected infrared light guided by the light guide tube into two parts, a semi-transparent mirror to split the reflected infrared light into two parts, and a wavelength that is absorbed by water for one of the two parts of the reflected light split by the semi-transparent mirror. and a filter for transmitting infrared rays in a region including wavelengths not absorbed by water, and a pair of germanium photodiodes for infrared rays transmitted through each filter. This is a device for measuring the amount of dampening water on the plate surface of a lithographic printing machine, which includes a detector.

The germanium photodiode used as an infrared detector in the present invention can be used with other infrared detectors such as PbS,
Unlike Pb5e, etc., there is no need to chop the infrared rays, and there is an advantage that the incident infrared rays can be continuously measured. Therefore, the amount of dampening water corresponding to the rotation of the plate cylinder of a lithographic printing machine can be measured continuously without interruption, and by scanning the measurement head in the lateral direction of the plate, the second plate can be scanned in both the rotational direction and the lateral direction. It also becomes possible to measure the distribution of the amount of dampening water over the entire surface of the plate.
