Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transferring the transfer layer of a transfer film to an at least partially coated with an adhesive substrate.
  • Such a film transfer method and a sheet-fed rotary printing press by means of which this method is carried out, is described, for example, in US Pat EP 1 815 982 A2 described.
  • a first printing unit of the sheet-fed rotary printing machine is used to initially provide a printed sheet with a two-dimensional or imaging adhesive pattern.
  • a subsequent second printing unit is used to guide the signature together with the transfer sheet under pressure through a transfer nip.
  • the transfer nip is formed by a press roll and an impression cylinder. By means of the press roll, the printed sheet lying on the impression cylinder is brought into contact with the film material.
  • the downwardly lying transfer layer of the transfer film adheres in the areas provided with adhesive on the sheet, but not in the non-adhesive areas of the sheet.
  • the transfer layer of the transfer film remains in the regions of the printing sheet provided with the adhesive on the printing sheet and is pulled off the carrier foil of the transfer foil, whereas in the regions not provided with the adhesive, the transfer layer remains on the carrier foil.
  • the web tension in the area of the transfer gap is controlled by the film winding and film processing, which is designed for this purpose with individual drives or a drive-brake combination. Furthermore, the web tension can be changed by changing the wrap angle of the film web on the press roller of the transfer unit. Web tension changes are corrected by a "dancer".

Furthermore, it is also possible for the control device to detect the actual value of the web tension or of the web speed by means of the one or more encoders which detect the web tension or the web speed as the measured variable. By means of the actual values of the web tension and / or the web speed of the transfer film in the region of the transfer nip detected by one or more of the methods described above, the control device controls the actual value to a predetermined target value by the above-described activation of the driven rollers of the two film guiding devices.
