Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for mounting adhesive tape on cylindrical bodies such as cylindrical Flexod jerk shapes.
  • a cylindrical Flexod jerk form the printing cylinder of the printing press is provided in the entire circumference with a printing layer or a pressure relief.
  • the actual impression cylinder of the printing press can itself be provided with a completely enveloping printing layer.

  • SIeeves are a cylindrical hollow body, also referred to as a sleeve, which has been provided on its outer cylindrical surface with a pressure layer or a pressure relief.
  • the sleeve technology allows a very quick and easy change of the printing form.
  • the inner diameter of the SIeeves corresponds to the outer diameter of the impression cylinder so that the SIeeves can simply be pushed over the printing cylinder of the printing press. Further details on the sleeve technique are disclosed, for example, in "Technique of Flexod rucks", p. 73 ff., Coating Verlag, St. Gallen, 1999.
  • a cylindrical Flexod jerk form by a Flexod jerk plate on the outer cylindrical surface of the printing cylinder or the SIeeves, which carries on its outwardly facing side of the print layer or the printing relief is glued.
  • a double-sided adhesive tape is used whose adhesive surface is first glued to the outer cylindrical surface of the printing cylinder or the SIeeves.

  • the double-sided adhesive tape usually has compressive elastic properties in order to reduce or avoid the so-called "dot gain", an undesirable effect in flexographic printing
  • the printing plates are not fastened directly on the printing cylinder or the screen, but an elastic or compressible intermediate layer is provided. which deforms elastically during the printing process and thus reduces the dot gain, which can lead to a reduction in the quality of the print .
  • the double-sided adhesive tape assumes the function of the elastic or compressible intermediate layer by having a certain material thickness and pressure-elastic properties suitable adhesive tapes usually have a foam core.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide juckformen an apparatus and a method for mounting adhesive tape on cylindrical body such as cylindrical Flexod, in which the assembly is largely automatic, to the disadvantages mentioned largely avoid or reduce the prior art and in which the described requirements are met as far as possible.
  • a “cylinder” in the sense of the invention refers to a body which is delimited by two parallel circular surfaces (top and top surface) and a lateral or cylindrical surface which is formed by parallel lines

Two or more fixing rollers can thus form a roller bed, in which the adhered cylindrical body rest and can be held by its own weight.
  • At least one of the fixing rollers is displaceably mounted in one or more directions orthogonal to its roller axis.
  • This makes it possible to vary the spacing of the fixing rollers relative to one another, for example in order to adapt the relative position of the fixing rollers relative to one another to the respective cylinder diameter of the cylindrical body to be bonded.
  • the cylindrical body to be stuck can be selectively held or released.
  • this also makes it possible to generate a contact pressure of the fixing rollers on the cylindrical body and adjust as needed. At least during the gluing of the cylindrical body, the fixing rollers act on the cylindrical body with a contact pressure.

  • the deflection roller may have at its periphery suction openings for temporarily holding the adhesive tape by means of negative pressure, wherein a Saugluft horrkanal is in communication with the suction openings.

When a portion of the adhesive tape covers such a suction opening, this portion is pressed against the surface of the guide roller due to the ambient pressure. Friction between the surfaces of the diverting pulley and the adhesive tape causes the diverting pulley to transport the adhesive tape by means of rotation about the roller axis.

  • the cylindrical body 20 rests with its own weight on the deflection roller 30c. This has the advantage that at the contact surface between the lateral surface of the guide roller 30c and the cylindrical surface 21 of the cylindrical body 20, the maximum contact pressure is provided. If it allows the weight of the cylindrical body 20, in this embodiment, moreover, if necessary, the provision of only two fixing rollers 30, one of which forms the deflection roller 30c, suffice.
  • the cylindrical body 20 is again fed by conveyor belts 61 of an insertion mechanism 60 in the adhesive position. Subsequently, the introduction mechanism 60 is removed from the cylindrical body 20 downward, so that the cylindrical body 20 is deposited on the fixing roller 30a and the guide roller 30c.
  • a drive of the fixing roller 30a about its roller axis causes the cylindrical body 20 to rotate about its cylinder axis, which in turn causes the guide roller 30c to rotate and causes the adhesive tape 40 to be fed to the cylindrical surface 21 of the cylindrical body 20.
  • the adhesive tape 40 is wound on the cylindrical surface 21 of the cylindrical body 20 and adhered to the cylindrical surface 21 of the cylindrical body 20 by the contact pressure, which is present between the lateral surface of the guide roller 30c and the cylindrical surface 21 of the cylindrical body 20.

Thereafter, the drive of the fixing roller 30a is restarted and the cylindrical body 20 is further circulated rotated its cylinder axis until the cylindrical surface 21 is completely covered by a single layer of the adhesive tape as already described.
  • the loading mechanism 60 is again moved up to the cylindrical body 20 from below until the cylindrical body 20 rests on the conveyor belts 61 of the loading mechanism 60 and is lifted off the fixing roller 30a and the guide roller 30c, and the pasted cylindrical body 20 is conveyed by the conveyor belts 61 transported out of the adhesive position.
  • the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 essentially differs from the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 in that the liner 41 located on the double-sided adhesive tape is pulled off the adhesive tape 40 during the winding of the adhesive tape 40 onto the cylindrical surface 21 of the cylindrical body 20 a liner winder 42 is wound up. Consequently, in this embodiment, the outer surface of the pasted cylindrical body 20 is tacky, so that the fixing rollers 30 as well as the conveyor belts 61 of the introduction mechanism 60 are designed adhesive-repellent (eg siliconized). The supply of the cylindrical body 20 in the adhesive position in the manner described by means of the conveyor belts 61 of the introduction mechanism 60.
