Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing press with at least two printing units according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Printing machines for the multi-color printing generally have a plurality of printing gap bounding cylinder pairs, which are arranged to save floor space in the installation of the machines, one above the other. These arrangements, also referred to as printing towers, reach heights of several meters, which require a corresponding hall height for their accommodation. Despite their small footprint the installation of such machines is therefore associated with considerable costs.
  • DE 198 05 898 A1 discloses a printing machine with horizontally arranged cylinders, which is used in one embodiment for horizontal trajectory and in another embodiment for vertical trajectory.
  • DE 101 19 678 C1 shows a rotary pad printing machine with vertical gravure roller and vertically standing pad roller.
  • US 3,903,793 A describes a franking machine with vertically standing pressure roller.
  • the US 29 45 436 A discloses a printing machine with an inking unit, which has a vertically disposed anilox roller with an employed working doctor blade.
  • DE 641 557 A shows a rotary printing machine with vertical forming rollers and associated transfer rollers. There is no information about the design of the transfer roller.
  • DE 12 54 159 describes a small printing device according to the gravure printing process, wherein between a printing cylinder and a pressure roller, a band-shaped material is guided.
  • the printing cylinder can be arranged vertically.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a printing machine with at least two printing units.
  • the achievable with the present invention consist in particular that it allows a space-saving installation even at low hall height.
  • This advantage is achieved by vertical alignment of the axes of the cylinders of the printing machine.
  • the height of the printing press is thus limited by the width of their cylinders and lying above and below the cylinders, required for their support and drive frame parts.
  • an inking unit with a chamber doctor blade is preferably used.
  • At least one of the cylinders of the printing press is stably supported on a lower frame part. Unlike conventional printing machines with horizontal It is thus possible for the axles to lift the fixed support of the cylinder on one end face, the upper one, in order to assemble or dismantle the machine or to carry out maintenance work on it without the cylinder leaving its set position.
  • a drive unit which must be firmly supported for Drehanin the cylinder is preferably disposed below the support plate and anchored to this or the ground.
  • An upper part of the frame, which serves to guide the upper ends of the cylinder in operation, can be made much easier in contrast.
  • the upper frame member preferably includes a frame having at least one opening through which the cylinder is movable therethrough, and at least one bushing member releasably secured in the opening and holding the cylinder.
  • a plate cylinder of the printing press can have a stop for printing plates at its lower end. At this stop a pressure plate without further Justageaufwand, alone by its own weight, reliably to the plant.
  • the printing press has a plurality of printing gaps arranged on a common straight line.
  • the straightness not only simplifies the drawing of a paper web between the printing nips, but also eliminates the need for guide rollers between the printing nips, which could interfere with the printed image when in contact with freshly printed ink.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic section through three printing units of an offset printing machine in a horizontal plane.
  • Each printing unit 01 comprises two blanket cylinders 02 which delimit a printing nip through which a material web 03 to be printed, in particular a paper web 03, is guided, two form cylinders, for. B. plate cylinder 04 and two inking 06.
  • the counter-pressure cylinder forming a printing nip with the blanket cylinder can also be designed, for example, as a steel cylinder or as a satellite cylinder.
  • the forme cylinders 04 are provided, for example, with planographic printing plates or high-pressure molds, in the exemplary embodiment in the axial direction with two or four printing plates. But it is also possible a single printing plate.
  • the inking units 06 comprise a chamber doctor blade 07 shown in detail in FIG. 2, an anilox roller 08 rotating in contact with the chamber doctor blade 07 and ink transferred therefrom, and a plurality of friction and transfer rollers 09 which transfer ink from the anilox roller 08 to the plate cylinder 04 ,
  • the forme cylinder 04 can also be dyed directly through the anilox roller 08. Between form cylinder 04 and anilox roller 08 at least one further ink roller 09 is arranged in the embodiment.
  • All cylinders and rollers have in the exemplary embodiment vertical axes.
  • the cylinders are therefore not bent under its own weight as in the case of a horizontal suspension, so that a very uniform pressure distribution in the pressure gap between the blanket cylinders 02 can be achieved.
  • Pages of the paper web 03 lying halves of each printing unit 01 are exactly symmetrical, so that identical printing properties on the front and back of the paper web 03 are easy to achieve.
  • the chamber doctor blade 07 shown in section in FIG. 2 has a channel-like housing 11, which is extended at two longitudinal edges by flexible lips 12.
  • the chambered doctor blade 07 thus has in the example a working and a closing squeegee 12.
  • the lips 12 in operation contact the surface of the anilox roller 08, so that the housing 11 and the anilox rollers 08 define a closed chamber 13 filled with ink.
  • the lips 12 press firmly against the outer surface of the anilox roller 08, so that the hydrostatic pressure of the ink in the chamber 13 is not sufficient to spread the lips 12 and to let color escape.
  • the only way in which paint can leave the chamber 13 is by penetrating into wells on the surface of the anilox roller 08 which are not wiped when passing the lips 12.
  • the hydrostatic pressure of the paint across the height of the chamber 13 is substantially invariable. This is e.g. achievable in that the color in the chamber 13 is continuously pumped.
  • a rotating screw 14, which is arranged in the rear region of the housing 11, extends over the entire height of the housing 11 and communicates with the upper and lower end of the chamber 13 via a passage 16 ,
  • a dynamic pressure distribution in the chamber 13 can be achieved, which compensates for the gradient of the hydrostatic pressure.
  • FIG. 3 shows a schematic section through the printing press along the plane designated III-III in FIG. 1.
  • the machine has a frame with a strong bottom Plate 17, which is the weight of the cylinder 02; 04 and the inking units 06 (not shown) carries and which is spaced from the ground by feet 18, so that between the bottom and the lower plate 17 space for z.
  • B. position-controlled motors 19 for directly driving the cylinder 02; 04 is present.
  • a plurality of round sleeves 21 is inserted, which are rotatable relative to the plate 17 and slightly eccentric in each case a journal 22 of the cylinder 02; 04 record.
  • the resulting horizontal mobility of the cylinder 02; 04 makes it possible to adjust pressures between them as needed or to move them apart, for example, to pull in a new paper web or to change plates.
  • the cylinders 02; 04 are supported on the sleeves 21 via thrust roller bearings 23, which then hold them in a vertical position when upper axle pin 24 of the cylinder 02; 04 are not held in an upper plate 26 of the frame.
  • This upper plate 26 comprises a frame 28 supported by vertical struts 27 on the lower plate 17 and an insert 29 filling an opening of the frame 28 which holds the upper stub axles 24.
  • This insert 29 (which may also be multi-part) covers the upper end faces of the cylinder 02; 04 completely, so that when it is removed, they can be lifted out of the frame.
  • a paper feed device 31 for feeding a new paper web into the printing press comprises a single rail, shown in section in FIG. 3, which is fixed to the upper plate 26 and guides a gripped chain.
  • the plate cylinder 04 has a lower end plate 32 whose diameter is less than the thickness of the mold plate 33 is greater than the diameter of its lateral surface 34.
  • the supernatant of the lower end plate 32 on the lateral surface 34 thus forms a stop, which serves as a reference for the positioning of Mold plate 33 is used.
  • the mold plates 33 of which generally several in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder, in this case in vertical Direction, are mounted side by side, can be placed in a simple manner with respect to the lower edge of the plate cylinder 04 as a reference position.
