Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the register Applying printing plates according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the printing plates are used for the different colored drawing files on a plate cylinder assembled.
  • Each printing plate is assigned one with the start of printing Edge fastened (clamped) in a clamping rail and then around the outer circumference of the cylinder until the rear, the Printable associated edge can be fastened in turn in a clamping rail is. The pressure plate is then tensioned.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a device to further develop in accordance with the preamble of claim 1, so that the above disadvantages can be avoided.
  • At least one of the Stops on the side facing the pressure plate at an angle to Feed direction of the printing plate has extending surfaces. This Surfaces run at an acute angle to the feed direction the pressure plate. Through these straight sections Surfaces on the side facing the printing plate leading edge the attacks are achieved that in particular not exactly in Plate fed in rare register direction when the stop is reached undergoes an alignment movement.
  • the proposed stops according to the invention each additionally one isolated from the plate cylinder or the clamping rail have embedded insert. It is intended that this contacts formed in this way, that is when the pressure plate is correctly attached these missions are available, can be queried individually. So that is Determine at which stop (A-side, B-side) the pressure plate is correctly applied or is not present. Especially with an automated one Pressure plate feeding process can thus targeted measures be taken so that the pressure plate at both stops is in register with the clamping rail.
  • Fig. 1 shows the top view of the clamping rail 1, which in the Pit of a plate cylinder, not shown, axially parallel is arranged.
  • This clamping rail 1 has a gap-shaped Detection area for the front edge of a printing plate 3.
  • the pressure plate 3 has on it Front edge two U-shaped punchings of different designs on.
  • the U-shaped punching 4.1 shown on the left has thereby a round contour.
  • the die cut shown on the right 4.2 is essentially rectangular, i.e. she points two parallel legs and one perpendicular the basic edge.
  • the stops 2.1 arranged in the clamping rail 1 according to FIG. 1 and 2.2 are in corresponding recesses of the upper part of the Clamping rail 1 inserted.
  • the stops 2.1 and 2.2 are there executed as a plate in the manner of a feather key and have In Your part facing away from the pressure plate 3 each has an elongated hole 10 on, by means of a screw 11 on the clamping rail 1 can be attached. By loosening the screw 11 it is possible both one and the other stop 2.1, 2.2 for example, in register for different plate formats to adjust.
  • this is the pressure plate 3 or the punched-out provided for this purpose 4.1 facing end of the stop 2.1 with two levels and at an angle Feed direction R of the new pressure plate surfaces 5 Mistake.
  • the end face 7 and the flat surfaces 5 subsequent areas of the stop 2.1 are again round or provided with a circular curvature. 1 is shown that the stop 2.1 with the one hand the flat surfaces 5 and on the other hand the round or cylindrical end face 7 interacts with a U-shaped punching 4.1, this has an exactly circular arc.
  • FIG. 1 shows a second embodiment in connection with FIG. 1 a stop 2.2 according to the invention.
  • this stop 2.2 acts with a U-shaped punching 4.2 together like a rectangle.
  • the base edge of this Die cut 4.2 is a parallel to the front edge of the Pressure plate 3.
  • FIGS. 2.1 and 2.2 each show the representations on the right a section through the formed according to the invention as a plate Stops 2.1 and 2.2.
  • On the pressure plate 3 (Fig. 1) facing End of the respective stops 2.1 and 2.2 is in each case an insert 8 made of electrically conductive material through an insulation layer 9 insulated from that also made of electrical made of conductive material 2.1 or 2.2.
  • an insert 8 made of electrically conductive material through an insulation layer 9 insulated from that also made of electrical made of conductive material 2.1 or 2.2.
  • the end faces 7 of the inserts 8 of the stops 2.1 and 2.2 are there shaped so that the contact forces of the pressure plate 3 in Feed direction R exclusively through these end faces 7 be included.
  • the sections of FIGS. 2.1 and 2.2 show that the stops 2.1 and 2.2 on the pressure plate 3 (Fig. 1) facing side still have a bevel. This On the one hand, beveling serves for tactile means, not shown to query the stops 2.1 or 2.2 (their electrically insulated Inserts 8). Furthermore, this bevel also ensures that the stops 2.1 and 2.2 are not from the outer circumference of the plate cylinder protrude.
  • FIG. 5 shows the registration of the pressure plate 3 in register their punching 4.1 on the front outer contour of the stop 2.1.
  • the pressure plate 3 can be seen on the end face 7 of the Insert 8 appropriately.
  • the flanks of the cutouts also touch 4.1 of the pressure plate 3, the two outermost flank ends the attack 2.1.
  • the electrically insulated is inserted Insert 8 to the same potential of the stop 2.1 brought what by hiring a corresponding not shown Button is noticeable.
  • FIG. 3 shows the alignment function of those provided according to the invention arranged obliquely to the feed direction R of the pressure plate 3 flat surfaces 5. It is shown that the pressure plate 3 in not exact page register direction the end of the stop 2.1 reached. If the feed is maintained in the R direction, now the left edge of the punch 4.1 on the flat surface 5 slide along until the end of the stop 2.1 in the punched 4.1 can immerse. A similar situation is shown here Fig. 6 in connection with the stop 2.2 and the punching 4.2. In this illustration, there is also an inclination of the Pressure plate 3 exaggerated when reaching the stop 2.2. Again, the pressure plate 3 with an edge of the Punch 4.2 on the corresponding flat surface 5 of the stop 2.2 slide along until the stop 2.2 in the punching 4.2 can immerse.
  • Fig. 4 shows the meaning or the function of the concave indentations 6 of the attack 2.1.
  • the printing plate is 3 with its punched out 4.1 with the end face 7 and can by concave indentations 6 still setting movements To run.
  • concave indentations 6 in the side flanks of the stop 2.1 receive the edges of the punch 4.1 a certain amount of space for corresponding setting movements.
