Definitions

  • the invention relates to an applicator roll for an offset printing unit, having an axis and a roll shell rotatable about the axis, wherein the axis rotationally fixed in the offset printing unit can be fixed, in particular in a printing machine for the production of labels.
  • Printing presses for the production of labels may have a number of interfaces or platforms for accommodating printing process-specific devices, so that a processing of a printing material, in particular a printing material web, can be carried out with different, depending on the order printing method.
  • a processing of a printing material in particular a printing material web
  • a recorded printing process-specific device in cooperation forms a printing unit of the corresponding printing process.
  • Typical printing-specific devices often in the form of essays, trays, inserts or cassettes, include flexographic printing, screen printing, letterpress printing and offset printing.
  • processing-process-specific devices which can also be accommodated on the platforms are made available, so that, for example, embossing of foil (hot and cold), gluing, punching or the like can take place on the printing substrate.
  • the mentioned printing units can also be designed to be variable in format insofar as different cylinder diameters, in particular for the respective printing form cylinder, can be used.
  • a format adaptation requires variable positioning of individual components or components in the printing process specific device.
  • the positions of the applicator rollers In offset printing units, especially in variable format execution, the positions of the applicator rollers, those rollers which are in rolling contact with the printing form, must be set exactly. For various reasons, for example by roller wear, by temperature effects or by dimensional tolerances, a fine adjustment or readjustment during operation may be necessary.
  • Typical application rollers are designed without drive and are caused by the frictional contact of the lateral surface with the lateral surface of a standing in WälzAuth other driven roller of the inking unit or ink fountain, in particular an iridescent Verreiberwalze, in rotational motion.
  • the contact pressure consequently influences the force transmission and also the color transfer or color splitting in the nip of the contacting rollers.
  • the axial force of an iridescent Verreiberwalze can be used to oscillate the applicator roll in the axial direction.
  • a roller in a inking or dampening unit for a rotary printing machine which has a rotatably mounted in two bearing points pin rotatably mounted roll barrel.
  • the axis of rotation of the roll bale with respect to the longitudinal axis of the pins is adjustable, in particular eccentrically pivotable. The adjustment can be made by means of a worm driven by a wheel or by a gear, which is in engagement with a rack.
  • FR 2527988 discloses an applicator roll with a frame fixed recorded axis.
  • the contact pressure of the roll mantle, which is received rotatably about the axis, against the mantle surface of an iridescent distributor roll can be adjusted by means of two eccentric pieces.
  • the eccentric pieces are rotatable in the released state about the axis, so that the force effect can be changed with the adjustment of the angular position.
  • screws which cause a clamping on the axis are provided.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide an applicator roll, which allows a simple way positioning of the applicator roll in the printing unit.
  • An applicator roll according to the invention for an offset printing unit has an axis, in particular a continuous shaft or two roll neck with common longitudinal axis, and a roll shell rotatable about the axis, wherein the axis rotatably or fixed to the frame fixed in offset printing, more precisely, the roll neck of the applicator roll can be fixed on ,
  • the applicator roll comprises at least one bush, which carries a bearing for a rotatable about one of the two roll neck race and whose angular position on the axis is variable so that the race is adjusted eccentrically to the axis.
  • the applicator roll comprises an eccentric to the axis adjustable socket, an eccentric bushing.
  • the application roller according to the invention is particularly pronounced without drive.
  • the roll neck can also be carried out separately.
  • a race can also be referred to as a bearer ring.
  • the sleeve of the applicator roll which is detached from the axis, in particular the roll neck, is axially adjustable and can be fixed on the axis, in particular the roll neck.
  • the amplitude of the transverse stroke (the traversing movement) of the applicator roll can be adjusted by the distance of the sleeve is changed to a support disk on the axis.
  • the transverse stroke of the applicator roll can be limited.
  • the transverse stroke or the oscillation in the direction of the axis is induced by the action of an oscillating rolling contact roller.
  • the adjustment functions of the eccentricity and the oscillation amplitude can be united in this embodiment of the applicator roll according to the invention.
  • the eccentric to the axis position of the bushing of the applicator roll by means of a first and a second threaded pin which are niekbar in respective bores of the bush and both on each lying in the socket surface, in particular flat surface, the axis, in particular of the roll neck act, adjustable.
  • the change in position of the tips of the setscrews causes relative tilting of the surface relative to a normal position of the surface (in which the sleeve is concentric with or without eccentricity with the axis), in other words causes rotation of the sleeve about a pivot axis relative to said axis such that the eccentricity is varied.
  • the surfaces may also be part surfaces of a large area of the roll neck.
  • the setscrews can also be screws.
  • the adjustment is easily possible, since the bushings of the races in the installed state of the applicator roll, especially when it interacts with the printing form cylinder, conveniently, in particular from the outside, is accessible.
  • the bushings of the races in the installed state of the applicator roll especially when it interacts with the printing form cylinder, conveniently, in particular from the outside, is accessible.
  • offset printing units which are equipped with printing forme cylinder and blanket cylinder in inserts, cassettes or the like, they no longer need to be removed prior to adjustment. A possible loss of time due to possibly iterative optimization of the multiple setting is avoided. Good reproducibility of the settings is achieved.
  • the bushing of the applicator roll according to the invention can have at least one first and one second bore for receiving a respective cylindrical pin, which serves as a stop for one of the threaded pins.
  • an applicator roll according to the invention can also have on the other roll neck an eccentrically adjustable axis to the bush, which carries another bearing for a further race.
  • the applicator roll can therefore be equipped with two eccentric bushes.
  • Each of the two eccentric bushings can have the described inventive features.
  • the bearing for a race of the applicator roll is a deep groove ball bearing.
  • the roll shell of the applicator roll on at least one other bearing, in particular a needle roller bearing is rotatably received on the axis.

  • at least one of the applicator rolls, preferably all but one or all of the applicator rolls, of the offset printing unit is an applicator roll having features or feature combinations as illustrated in this description.
  • the applicator roll according to the invention can be used in an offset printing unit whose printing form cylinder and transfer cylinder are releasably connectable stored in the offset printing unit, so that cylinders with different diameters in the offset printing unit can be accommodated.
  • the offset printing unit according to the invention with at least one application roller according to the invention can be a format-variable offset printing unit.
  • An offset printing unit may preferably have three or four application rollers, of which two and in this case three application rollers have features according to the invention in that case.
  • one of the applicator rollers can also be designed without eccentric adjustability.
  • a printing machine in particular a label printing machine or a self-adhesive label printing machine.
  • the printing machine may be a sheet-processing or web-processing printing press.
  • the printing press is modular.
  • the printing press may in particular be designed such that a variable arrangement of pressure-specific devices is possible, as has been outlined in the introduction to the description of this representation.
  • Typical variable printing presses, in particular for label printing are known from the prior art: for example, embodiments of such printing presses are in the documents US 4,384,522 . WO87 / 04665 . EP 0 757 627 B1 and EP 0 687 559 A1 described.
  • the use of the applicator roll according to the invention is to be seen in particular in connection with these machines or machine configurations.
  • a printing press for processing printing substrate webs, in particular for producing labels or self-adhesive labels, comprises at least one platform for receiving printing process-specific devices and a counter-pressure cylinder assigned to the platform over which the printing material web runs, such that a recorded printing process-specific device cooperates with the impression cylinder Compressor forms the corresponding printing method, wherein one of the printing process-specific means comprises at least one applicator roll having features according to this representation, so that in the printing machine, an inventive offset printing unit is realized with the features described.

  • the exact amount of elasticity, d. H. the material with a certain modulus of elasticity to be used is known to the person skilled in the art.
  • the materials used in the roll shells of several applicator rolls in an offset printing unit can have different elasticities.
  • the race 16 and the further race 18 are each on a bushing 40, also referred to as an eccentric, added to the roll pin 20.
  • the axis of the applicator roll 10 is fixed by means of a fastening screw 26, d. H. rotationally fixed in the construction of the offset printing unit, such as in the frame, on the frame or on the side wall, fixed.
  • the applicator roll 10 is on both sides, d. H. Both shaft journals are recorded in the offset printing unit.
  • the setscrews here in Figure 1 is to see the respective sleeve 40, the first set screw 22, and after rotation of the sleeve 40 with the associated race 16, 18 tightened again, so that the screws Socket 40 are fixed on the roll neck 20.

  • the roll neck 20 with the pivot axis 66 is spaced from the axis of symmetry 28 of the bearing supported by the sleeve 40, on the rotatable part of the race 16 is fixed to a maximum eccentricity 30 spaced.
  • the axis of symmetry 28 coincides with the axis of the roll mantle 14.
  • the axis of symmetry 28 is pivoted out of the plane III about the pivot axis 66, so that the length of the solder of the symmetry axis 28 (the intersection of the axis of symmetry 28th with the plane of the drawing) to the level III, in which the axis of the roll shell 14 is located, the set eccentricity of the eccentric represents.
  • FIG. 3 shows a section along the axis 12 of the embodiment from FIG. 1 (plane III in FIG. 2).
  • the applicator roll 10 has a continuous eccentric shaft 32 with axis 12, which by means of a fastening screw 26, as already described with reference to the preceding Figures 1 and 2, rotatably received in not illustrated offset printing unit.
  • the shaft journal 20 shown in the left part of Figure 3 carries a rotatable about the pivot axis 66 bushing 40, on which a bearing 34, here a deep groove ball bearing, is received, which is secured with a locking ring 38.

While in the left part of Figure 3, the needle bearing 48 is shown at the stop of the support disk 46, in the right part of Figure 3, a space between the needle bearing and support disk can be seen.
  • the applicator roller If, as already mentioned, the applicator roller is in rolling contact with an iridescent distributor roller of the fluid movement of the offset printing unit, it is transmitted to the applicator roller 10 not only a rotational action but also an oscillation effect in the direction of the axis 12.
  • the amplitude of the oscillating movement of the applicator roll is limited by the spacing of the support disks 46.
  • the possible transverse stroke 52 is determined by the adjustable axial position of the support disks 46. In FIG. 3, the distance of the needle ball bearing shown in the right-hand part from the support disk is the maximum transverse stroke 52 of the oscillating movement.
  • the bushes 40 are detachably connected to the eccentric shaft 32 and its axial position can be adjusted, ie the axial Position of the support disk 46 can be changed with the sleeve 40, so that the possible transverse stroke 52 is adjustable.
