Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is already known for a gravure printing machine, namely from the EP 0 934 827 A2 in which the paths of a counterpressure roller and a impression roller are measured. Separately, the position of an inking unit is measurable.
  • the positioning device according to the invention advantageously allows an exact positioning of the associated functional unit in any desired position, wherein an automatic adaptation to changing boundary conditions can take place. This applies in an advantageous manner for changing cylinder diameter, which facilitates a format change.
  • the function unit is associated with sensors for detecting the path traveled in each case as well as the impact on the associated printing unit cylinder whose output signals can be fed to the control unit.
  • the combination of distance and point-related control results in a particularly high accuracy when approaching a desired operating position.
  • control unit can be programmed so that the functional unit can be moved to a desired operating position starting from the position determined upon impact with the associated printing unit cylinder when the drive device is activated.
  • the position at which the functional unit impinges on the associated printing cylinder here forms a zero point or reference point, which seeks the function unit in each case itself, so that regardless of the location of this reference point is always an exact operating position is reachable.
  • This can be a pressure or gap setting.
  • the sensor arrangement can expediently be assigned to an incremental arrangement for determining the distance covered. This automatically results in digital values that are easy to process in terms of data.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the higher-level measures may consist in that the sensor arrangement for determining the impact of the functional unit on the associated printing cylinder as a strainable by the contact pressure between the functional unit and printing cylinder part of the drive means associated strain detector be formed.
  • the setting of the functional unit to gap with respect to the associated printing cylinder takes place on the other hand functionally path-dependent.
  • control unit which is expediently designed as a programmable computer, may have a communication connection for a remote programming and / or monitoring device. This advantageously makes it possible to remedy misadjustments using modern communication means, resulting in an excellent maintenance and service friendliness.
  • the basic structure and the operation of rotary printing presses are known per se and therefore need no further explanation in the present context.
  • the Figure 1 underlying printing unit consists of a machine frame 1, on which several in a conventional manner cooperating, here a double printing unit forming printing cylinder 2 are mounted. These are various, necessary for the operation of the printing press facilities, such as inking, dampening, washing facilities, imaging devices, fixing, extinguishing equipment, assigned. These devices each form an insertable into the printing unit function unit 3, which is completely pre-assembled outside the machine and in itself adjustable.
  • At least a part of the functional units 3 is received in each case with the frame-side ends mounted on the side walls of the machine frame 1 guide rails 4, which form a linear guide device. These functional units 3 are accordingly adjustable relative to the respectively associated printing cylinder 2 in the linear direction.
  • Each of these linearly adjustable functional units 3 is provided with a drive device 5 shown in detail in FIG.
  • This comprises a fixed to the machine frame 1, electric drive motor 6, which drives via a countershaft 7 mounted on the machine frame 1 end shields 8 threaded spindle 9, which is engageable with a mounted on the associated functional unit 3 threaded nut 10.
  • This may be a half-open threaded nut, so that a simple decoupling between the functional unit 3 and the frame-side drive device 5 is possible, which particularly simplifies the insertion or removal of the functional unit 3.
  • the drive motor 6, which may be a DC motor, can be controlled by means of a positioning device 11 assigned to the functional unit 3 and also shown in FIG.
  • a control unit 12 embodied as a programmable computer, in which the desired positions which the functional unit 3 is to be approached are entered in the form of electronic data and corresponding measured values are supplied to the respective current position of the functional unit 3 in the form of suitable signals.
  • the control unit 12 determines from the position-dependent signals supplied to it control commands for the drive motor 6, which are transmitted via a signal line 13. For inputting the values of the positions to be approached, an input device 14 is provided, which is connected to the control device 12 via a signal line 15. The control unit 12 further has an input for a signal indicated by a signal line 16 connection with the machine control device, which gives the use commands. In addition, in the example shown, the control unit 12 has a so-called remote connection to which a signal line 17 is assigned, via which communication with the control unit 12 and, accordingly, remote programming and / or remote monitoring is possible.
  • the measuring elements for determining the mentioned, position-dependent measured values consist of a displacement measuring device 18, which measures the distance traveled by the functional unit 3 in each case, and a sensing device 19 for scanning the abovementioned zero point, to which the displacement measuring device 18 can refer.
  • the displacement measuring device 18 includes an incremental element 20, to which a sensor 21 is assigned, which is arranged so that a relative movement between the incremental element 20 and the sensor 21 results.
  • the output of the sensor 21 is connected via a signal line 22 to an associated input of the control unit 12.
  • the sensing device 19 includes a second sensor 23, the signal upon impact of the functional unit 3 on the associated printing cylinder 2 generated, which is supplied via a signal line 24 to an associated input of the control unit 12.
  • the zero point that scans the inventive positioning to accomplish a self-adjustment automatically defined as the position at which the functional unit 3 runs with its the printing cylinder 2 associated working member on the associated printing cylinder 2 and touches them.
  • the second sensor 23 is accordingly designed so that a signal is emitted when the associated functional unit 3 runs onto the associated printing cylinder 2.
  • the second sensor 23 is formed as a strain gauge, which is attached to one of the threaded spindle 9 associated bearing plate 8. About this runs the power flow for deriving a running when the functional unit 3 on the associated printing cylinder 2 of this exerted reaction force on the machine frame 1.
  • the bearing plate 8 is claimed to bending, which increases with increasing contact pressure and vice versa.
  • the strain gauge forming the second sensor 23 thus provides a signal analogous to the contact pressure.
  • the beginning of this signal corresponds practically to the first Berühung and accordingly the above zero point.
  • the further course of this signal correlates with the contact pressure.
  • the signal delivered by the second sensor 23 therefore advantageously contains a double statement, namely an indication of the contact point which can be used as the zero point, as well as an indication of the contact pressure, the exact observance of which is desirable in many cases.
  • the control unit 12 is here programmed so that the functional unit 3 with activated drive device 5, starting from the self-seeking in the manner outlined above zero point is movable into a desired operating position. Since the positioning device 11 always determines the named zero point itself as the contact point, this results in an automatic self-adjustment, whereby changing boundary conditions, for example as a result of temperature fluctuations, are corrected automatically. The same applies to different ones Diameter of the printing cylinder 2, so that no adjustment work incurred even when format change.
  • Some functional units 3 are made in operation with pressure to the associated printing cylinder 2, others are set to gap to the associated printing cylinder 2.
  • the zero position is approached, which corresponds to the contact position at which the working member of the functional unit 3 impinges on the associated printing cylinder 2.
  • the drive motor 6 is controlled by the control unit 12 so that the functional unit 3 is moved back from the said zero position corresponding to the clear gap distance corresponding distance.
  • the distance covered is determined exactly by means of the path measuring device 18, so that the functional unit 3 reaches exactly the desired position, in which the desired gap width is present. To comply with this gap width over long periods of time, it can be provided that the zero position is approached again from time to time and the gap width is set again.
  • the transport of the functional unit 3 into the parked waiting position or the set-up position, in which the functional unit 3 can be removed or inserted also runs.
  • the drive motor 6 is controlled by the control unit 12 so that the functional unit 3 is delivered starting from the above zero position until signaled by the second sensor 23 of the desired contact pressure becomes.
  • the signal emitted by the second sensor 23 is a continuous signal whose level is continuously compared by the control unit 12 with a predetermined desired value. Each time the actual value is changed, an automatic readjustment results, so that the desired contact pressure is permanently maintained.
