Definitions

  • the invention relates to printing presses with a plurality of printing units according to the preamble of claims 1 or 2.
  • a web of material e.g. B. printed on a printing material or a paper web
  • the webs are brought together into a strand, which is broken down into individual benefits in the folder.
  • the printed webs are led out of printing units of such a machine set up in alignment in a first direction in a direction which runs in a plane spanned by this first direction and the vertical plane.
  • a more compact structure can possibly be achieved by providing a common dryer through which the webs of all printing units are guided together, but this solution has the disadvantage that, depending on the arrangement of the dryer, webs between printing unit and dryer with respect to the printing units over long distances and have to be supported or redirected several times. In this case, deflection or support rollers can blur the ink that has not yet dried and thus lead to a loss of quality of the printed product.
  • DD 58 311 discloses a rotary printing press in which a dryer is connected downstream of each printing unit and in which a plurality of folders are arranged.
  • DE 40 12 396 A1 and DE 44 08 027 A1 show web-fed printing machines with dryers and folders, the axes of rotation of the folding cylinders of the folders running parallel to the longitudinal direction of the dryer.
  • the invention has for its object to provide printing machines with multiple printing units.
  • a particular advantage of the machine is that it enables a compact design with short paths for all substrate webs between the printing unit and the folder. Since the printed webs emerge from the printing units transversely to the escape direction of the printing units, the dryers can be arranged transversely to the escape direction and therefore do not require a large overall height or large distances between the printing units in the escape direction.
  • the axes of the cylinders delimiting the printing columns of the printing units are parallel to oriented in the direction of escape so that the printed web can be fed to the dryer from the exit of the printing unit without redirecting or turning.
  • a web guide of the printing material webs in the printing units from bottom to top enables the dryer to be attached approximately at the exit height of the webs from the printing units, so that space left underneath the dryers can be used for other purposes.
  • roll changers for supplying the printing units with material and possibly conveyor systems for transporting fresh printing material rolls to the roll changers and for removing used rolls can be accommodated in the space below the dryer.
  • the printing press according to the invention is equipped with two folders. These are also expediently set up in the direction of escape.
  • the folders are advantageously located in an intermediate space between two assemblies, each of which is formed from a printing unit, a dryer and a turning bar arrangement for feeding the material web emerging from the dryer to the folder. It is thus possible to optionally feed a paper web printed in one of the printing units to one of the two folders. This results in the possibility, if the number of pages of a product to be printed does not fully utilize the capacity of the printing units, to use a printing unit that is not required for this printing job together with the second folder for the production of a second printing product, which can be independent of the first.
  • Another advantage is that in the event of a failure of a folding unit, production does not come to a standstill, but production can continue via a second folding unit.
  • the first of the two folders is preferably centered between the assemblies arranged to minimize the path length differences between the outputs of the individual printing units and the folder.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of a printing press according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the machine.
  • Fig. 1 shows a highly schematic plan view of a printing press, in particular a heatset printing press for telephone book printing.
  • the machine comprises four four-color printing units 01, 02, 03, 04, which are designed for a width of the web 07 to be printed from six sides.
  • the axes of the printing cylinders lie parallel to the (in the FIG. Vertical) direction of escape of the printing units 01, 02, 03, 04.
  • each printing unit 01, 02, 03, 04 is replaced by a reel changer 06 with a paper web 07 that enters the foot of the printing unit 01, 02, 03, 04 and leaves it at the head end.
  • the paper web 07 is first shown to be guided vertically out of the printing unit 01 and is deflected into the horizontal at a point 08, which can be provided by a deflecting roller.
  • a point 08 which can be provided by a deflecting roller.
  • a longitudinal direction of the dryer 09 is arranged transversely to the axes of rotation of at least one cylinder group delimiting a pressure gap.
  • the horizontally oriented dryer 09 is arranged above the roll changer 06 and thus does not occupy its own floor space.
  • a cooling roller arrangement 11 At the outlet of the dryer 09 there is a cooling roller arrangement 11. After passing through the cooling roller arrangement 11, the paper web reaches a turning bar 12; 13; 14 or 16, at which it is deflected in the direction of escape.
  • the printing press thus has four subassemblies, each of which is constructed from a printing unit 01 to 04, the turning bar 12, 13, 14 or 16 which can be reached from this printing unit and the components 09 and 11 which are located in between.
  • a first folder 17 is arranged in an intermediate space between the second and third assemblies containing the printing units 02 and 03, and a second folder 18 of identical construction is located between the first and second assemblies.
  • the turning bar 13 of the second assembly can be folded over in order to feed the paper web 07 printed by the printing unit 02 to either the first or the second folder 17 or 18.
  • Each folder 17, 18 has two knives (not shown) for longitudinally cutting the paper webs 07 fed to it into partial webs, each two pages wide, and three folding former 19 for longitudinally folding the partial webs thus obtained.
  • Downstream of the folding direction 19 is a cross cutting unit with a cross cutting cylinder 23 for disassembling the partial webs into individual panels, a folding blade cylinder 21 which, together with a folding jaw cylinder 22, cross-folds the panels obtained, and a stack delivery.
  • the structure of such a folder is known and need not be explained in detail here.
  • the axis of rotation of the first cross-cutting cylinder 23 of the two folders 17; 18 and the axis of rotation of at least one cylinder group delimiting a pressure gap are arranged running parallel.
  • An advantage of the presence of the two folders 17, 18 is that redundancy is created so that if one of these devices fails, the printing press can continue to be operated using the other.
  • a printing press with a single folder only runs with the best possible economy if all of its printing units print webs of maximum width. In the example considered here with four double-sided printing units 01 to 04 and six-page webs 07, this means that with each rotation of the printing cylinder by one plate width, 48 pages are printed. If one assumes that the printing cylinders each carry four plates in the circumferential direction, which are different in pairs, the printing cylinders become with each complete revolution printed twice 96 pages. This is the size of the benefit for which the press can be used optimally if only one folder is available. Such benefit sizes are not always achieved; in general, there will be at least one benefit in printing a phone book that is smaller.
  • the page numbers given in the table refer to the case that paper webs are printed with the full width of six pages. Of course, webs with four or two sides width can also be used; then the specified page numbers decrease accordingly.
