Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a film transfer device for transferring a transfer layer adhering to a carrier film by means of a release layer under the action of pressure on at least area-wise coated with an adhesive sheet material according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Generic film transfer devices are used in the refinement of printed products, for example, to produce gloss effects.
  • the machines can be subdivided into hot stamping foil machines and cold foil transfer devices.
  • the transfer layer is transferred to the sheet material only under pressure, but not additionally under the action of heat.
  • adhesive is printed, so that a "printed image" of adhesive remains on the flat material, to which the transfer layer adheres in the film transfer mechanism. Due to the high accuracy of the adhesive application in the printing unit, for example, extremely detailed metallization layers can be transferred to the flat material, for example in the form of texts.
  • Other applications are films of any color, pre-embossed films, etc.
  • the problem with the film transfer technology is the relatively high space requirement of the film transfer stations.
  • the film transfer device is characterized in that both the transfer film supply roll and the transfer film waste roll are both located above the same plant, in this case the transfer system or the application system. In this case they should be placed to each other so that the maximum extent of the transfer sheet supply roll and the transfer sheet waste roll overlap. In this way, the space required for the corresponding supply rolls and waste rolls can be minimized.
  • Under transmission system is here a work of the film transfer device to understand, in which a transfer layer to be transferred from a carrier film to a sheet material, d. H. Substrate, is transferred.
  • An application system here is a system in which an adhesive is applied to the substrate, i. on the sheet material, is transmitted. This adhesive can be particularly preferably transferred by means of a printing form partially on the sheet material.
  • the transfer film supply roll and the transfer film waste roll are arranged one above the other.
  • this reduces the lateral extent of the system of transfer sheet supply roll and transfer roll waste roll.
  • this can reduce the incidence of forces that would laterally impact the system, i. it is possible to reduce torsional forces which would act on the transmission system or the application system.
  • the transfer film supply roll and the transfer film waste roll are rotatably mounted in the housing of the film transfer device above the transfer system and the application system. This avoids the need to install fixed connections between an extra module and the housing of the transmission system or the application system.
  • the carrier film is covered by a pivotable upper and lower film protection.
  • the application of different transfer layers, in particular color-different transfer layers on the same substrate, d. H. to the same sheet material can be achieved in an inventive development in that a plurality of narrow-gauge supply rolls and / or waste film rolls are each arranged side by side above the transmission system and / or the application system.
  • a film buffer system or a film saving device is provided between the transfer film supply roll and the transfer film waste roll.
  • acceleration processes of the transfer sheet supply roll and transfer roll waste roll can be intercepted, so that uniform operation of the printing finishing unit is possible.
  • the film saving device is therefore advantageous because typically only a portion of the sheet material is printed and in between the same speed must move along moving film web, so that the unused film material would be wasted. With a corresponding film saving device this can be prevented.
  • the printing finishing unit according to the invention is characterized in a favorable further development in that the application system has a printing nip with the same printing cylinder for the area-wise application of adhesive to the flat material.
  • the application system for the adhesive is a printing unit, a coating unit or a modular coating system.
  • Such application systems are present in printing presses either in the case of a printing unit anyway or at least in the case of coating unit or modular coating system (also known as “modular coating system” or MCS) common, so that a corresponding application system can be easily converted into an application system for adhesive can.
  • modular coating system also known as “modular coating system” or MCS
  • the transfer cylinder and / or application cylinder can be configured as being detachable from the impression cylinder.
  • the print finishing unit that is part of a printing press can be turned on or off as needed.
  • the dispensing system can still be used for other purposes, such as the application of normal printing ink, paint, spot colors or other finishing processes with the transfer cylinder off and Druckveredelungsaku switched off.
  • the printing finishing unit 100 according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown only schematically here.
  • Other required for operation elements such as storage, drives, control, etc., which are not relevant to the invention are shown only schematically or not at all, as they would be obvious to the skilled person alone and would hamper the understanding of the invention.
  • the application cylinder 51 belongs to an application system 50, such as a normal printing unit of a printing press, e.g. a sheet-fed offset printing press.
  • an application system 50 such as a normal printing unit of a printing press, e.g. a sheet-fed offset printing press.
  • the invention also applies to web-processing printing machines application.
  • a conventional printing unit 50 it could also be a coating unit 50 or a modular coating system 50 (MCS).
  • MCS modular coating system 50
  • the application system 50 creates an inverse adhesive image on the applicator cylinder 51 similar to ordinary offset printing.
  • the order system 50 is controlled by a controller 40, which is also in communication with the transmission system 10 and controls this and advantageously with a higher-level control of the printing press.
  • the film supply roll 21 and the film waste roll 27 are arranged one above the other and rotatably mounted in the housing.
  • a plurality of narrow-gauge film supply rolls 21 and film waste rolls 27 can also be arranged next to one another above the application system 50.
  • the film supply roll 21 and the film waste roll 27 should be placed relative to each other so that the maximum circumference 21 ', 27' of the film supply roll 21 and the film waste roll 27 overlap. This is possible insofar as only one of the rollers 21, 27 can be full.
  • Film supply roll 21 and film waste roll 27 are driven by drives, not shown, which are controlled by the controller 40.
  • the film guide of the transfer film 5 extends on the outside of the housing, but is covered by a pivotable upper and lower film protection 11, 12.
  • a foil box 13 is disposed between the film supply roll 21 and the film waste roll 27.
  • dancers, not shown, are arranged, which regulate the web tension.
  • 13 additional drives for the film 5 may be arranged in the film box, and a film storage, with which the film 5 are moved independently of the movement of the film supply roll 21 and the film waste roll 27 can, and a saving device for film 5, and sensors for monitoring the film surface, the film transfer, etc., and a lifting device for the transfer cylinder, so that the film 5 can be turned off by the printing cylinder 15.
  • FIGS. 1a-1c corresponding alternative embodiments of the device according to the invention are shown in FIGS. 1a-1c.
  • the transmission system 10 and the application system 50 are each spatially separated from one another and are in contact with different pressure cylinders 15.
  • the application system 50 may be a first printing unit of a printing press
  • the transfer system 10 may be a second subsequent printing unit of a printing press.
  • FIGS. 1a and 1b show embodiments in which both the transfer film supply roll 21 and the transfer film waste 27 are arranged above the transfer system 10.
  • the two film rolls 21 and 27 are arranged side by side and in Fig. 1b, the two rollers 21, 27 are arranged one above the other or half of the transmission system 10.
  • the guide of the carrier foil 5 via corresponding guide rollers is designed so that the carrier foil 5 is passed through a transfer gap 16 for the purpose of transferring a transfer layer 3.
  • This transfer nip 16 is formed by a transfer cylinder 30 and a printing cylinder 15.
  • FIG. 1c A further alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 1c, whereby the same applies here as stated above.
  • the two film rolls 21, 27 are arranged one above the other and provided above the application system 50 in the case shown here.
  • the carrier film 5 is guided by corresponding guide rollers from the transfer film supply roll 21 to the transfer nip 16 and then by further guide rollers for transfer film waste roll 27.
  • the transfer film 5 is not openly guided by a corresponding upper and lower film protection 11, 12.
  • the carrier film 5 extends at least in places below a tread area of the printing press. One not controlled contact of the carrier film 5 during operation can thus be avoided.
