Definitions

  • the invention relates to manufacturing means for making embossed decoration patterns on ceramic tiles.
  • the ceramic industry produces tiles having different decorative embossed patterns, for example drawings or geometrical figures, or tiles with particular surface roughness or other means for obtaining the desired aesthetic effect.
  • the embossed decorations are obtained on the tiles during press-forming, by a press die having a pattern to be reproduced in reverse.
  • the production of the production die is preceded by an experimental step which includes:
  • the production die can be produced, otherwise, if the judgment is negative, the whole procedure is repeated, beginning from a new aluminum plate.
  • the aluminum plate is used to transfer the pattern impression to the production die, by a known technique called "heat gumming", which includes substantially applying layers of gummy material to the surface, which is intended to push against the tile. Such layers are obviously complementary to embossment made on the aluminium plate.
  • the machining of the aluminum plates is slow and its difficulty increases together with the complexity of the decoration to be obtained. Moreover, the material removal by the mechanical tools reduces the possible definition which can be obtained on the decoration pattern.
  • the gum parts of the die wear out, therefore, they must be reconstructed at preset times, in order to maintain the tiles within the fixed quality standards.
  • the aluminum plate with the final pattern is put away, so that it can be re-used when the gum parts of the die must be reconstructed.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a method, which allows to accelerate the above described experimental step, to obtain the final pattern to be produced.
  • Another object of the method is to obtain even very complicated decorations with definition characteristics superior with respect to the ones obtained normally.
  • a further object of the method is to facilitate the storage and handling of the plates for re-gumming of the dies.
  • the method being subject of the present invention allows to prepare a die 40 of a press 4 for obtaining embossed decorations on ceramic tiles 1 ( Figure 7).
  • the method includes a first step, during which the final decoration pattern, to be embossed in the tiles later on, is designed.
  • the first operation of the above mentioned first step includes etching the decoration pattern in reverse on a test plate of gum material, synthetic or natural, by using a laser beam controlled by a electronic processor (not shown), in which the decoration pattern to be obtained is stored in digital form.
  • the second operation is mounting (by removable fastening) the plate of gummy material on a punch of a press, with the decoration in reverse turned toward the upper surface 1a of a tile 1, onto which the punch is intended to push.
  • the above mentioned press can be the sampling press, mentioned in the introductory note, as well as the production press ( Figure 7).
  • the next operation is press-forming a series of sample tiles 1 and evaluating the obtained result.
  • the second step of the method can start, otherwise, if the result is not satisfying, the digital pattern stored in the electronic processor is modified and then, the operations described above are repeated, until the desired result is obtained.
  • the above mentioned laser beam piloted by the electronic processor, is used to etch a die M, with the final decoration in positive, on a plate 3, which has definite flexibility and which can resist to temperatures about 120°, without any change in its characteristics.
  • the thickness of the plate 3 is limited and obviously, it must have a surface, which can be treated with the laser.
  • Figure 1 shows by way of non limiting example, a possible embodiment of the plate 3, according to which a layer 30 of gummy material, synthetic or natural, aimed at being machined, is coupled with a support 31, which gives the desired global flexibility.
  • the layer 30 is preferably made of a synthetic material, normally available, already used in the field, which maintains its physical-mechanical characteristics up to about 160°, that is widely beyond the required temperature.
  • the plate 3 can be arranged flat or applied around a drum 13, with the laser 15 arranged radially ( Figure 2).
  • the around-applied configuration possible due to the plate 3 flexibility, is advantageous for the reduction of time necessary for etching.
  • the plate 3 is removably fastened to a rigid plate 6, with the die M turned outwards ( Figure 4).
  • the punch 40 of the production press 4 is hot-gummed, which includes, as it has been already said in the introductory note, the application of layers R of gummy material onto the surface 40a of the punch 40 aimed at pushing against the tile 1, with the layers R reproducing the desired decoration in reverse.
  • the punch 40 in order to be gummed, the punch 40 must be removed from the press 4 and its surface 40a must be covered with suitable material, softened by heating, aimed at forming the above mentioned layers R ( Figure 6).
  • the surface 40a of the punch 40 is brought to touch the die M embossed in the plate 3, fastened to the rigid plate 6, and then the die M is pressed in order to shape the gummy material of the layers R ( Figure 7).
  • the punch 40 can be remounted onto the press 4 and the production of the tiles 1 can start.
  • the plate 3 is separated from the rigid plate 6 and stored to be used when needed.
  • the just described method has many advantages; first of all, the slow and expensive processing of the aluminum plates is avoided, due to the use of test plates, which can be etched with laser.
  • the laser technique for etching the gummy material allows complicated patterns of high definition to be obtained without noticeable cost increase.
