Definitions

  • the invention relates to a flexographic printing machine according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for operating the same.
  • the DE 3246938 therefore proposes the use of a single drive that acts on the spindles via automatic couplings. Has a bearing block reaches the desired position, so releases the corresponding coupling, so that the spindle is not moved further.
  • the adjustment and monitoring of the desired position is carried out by position indicators and position detectors which are mounted on the bearing blocks or the machine frame. But also the use of automatic couplings and position detectors is expensive.
  • the bearing blocks for format cylinder and anilox roller are manually adjustable via handwheels.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a flexographic printing press, in which the adjustment of the printing position can be done with cheaper means.
  • the drive can then be used relatively inexpensive motors.
  • a drive has a stop.
  • This stop can be part of the gearbox and can be adjusted if necessary during the manual setting of the roller position.
  • this at least one stop can also be part of the drive as standard. So there are even drives that operate in operation between two stops, and only limited rotations (for example, 180 °) allow.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of an inking unit 100 of a flexographic printing machine according to the invention 101.
  • the inking unit includes, among other things employed against the counter-pressure roller 103 form cylinder 104 and the anilox roller 105, which is employed against the format cylinder 104.
  • the components of the inking unit 100 rest on the console of the inking unit 106.
  • the linear guide 107 of the format cylinder is attached.
  • the angle bracket 109 of the format cylinder slides over the linear guide 107.
  • This angle bracket carries both the bearing 110 of the format cylinder 105 and the linear guides 111 of the anilox roller, on which in turn slide the carriage 112 of the anilox roller. Therefore, one speaks in such an arrangement of a piggyback.
  • the anilox roller 105 is mounted in the block 113. Both carriages 108, 112 are moved by spindles 115, 116 on the linear guides 107, 111. The spindles reach through the gearbox 2 ( FIG. 2 ). On the front side of the transmission, the handwheel 117 can be seen. The two locking screws 118 and 119 are used to determine the fine adjustments 120, 121 for the two spindles, which in FIG. 2 you can see.
  • FIG. 2 is a view of the transmission components of the inking unit from the outlined by the arrow 122 angle.
  • the lying behind the gears 2 elements of the printing unit seen from the outlined direction of view are not shown in this figure.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates that both the angle bracket 109 of the format cylinder 104 and the block of the anilox roller 2 spindles 115, 116 are assigned, which are moved by two gears 2. These two gears 2 are arranged largely mirror images of each other.
  • the drive of the central helical gears 4 of both gear 2 which are connected by a shaft 123, however, can be made both by the handwheel 117 on the left edge of the image and by the drive 124.
  • the drive takes place pneumatically in the embodiment shown, wherein the drive has a front and a rear stop, which the stop movement limited by the motor.
  • the drive is connected via a coupling 125 with the central helical gear 4 of the right transmission 2.
  • the coupling ensures both the separability of the drive from the helical gear, as well as the manual rotation of the same 4 with the engine stopped.
  • the shaft 123 is covered by a fairing.
  • FIG. 3 again shows the manually operable side of the transmission 2 and illustrates the position of the section AB which in FIG. 4 is shown.
  • FIG. 4 clarifies in turn the location of the section CD, which in FIG. 5 is shown.
  • the inner workings of the gearbox 2 should be understood against the background of the last two figures.
  • the central helical gear 4 is supported by rolling bearings 17 and plain bearings 27. It is in a helical engagement with the gear 3, which is rotated when the central helical gear 4 is rotated by either the hand wheel 117 or the drive 124.
  • the axis of rotation of the gear 3 is orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the central helical gear 4.
  • the gear 3 rotates in its rotation, the spindle 115, since the key 25 forces these two gear elements to a common rotation about their common principal axis of inertia.
  • This rotation of the spindle 115 in turn leads to a translation of the same 115, since the spindle is seated in the nut 5 which is fixed in the axial direction.
  • the coarse adjustment of the roller positions is carried out in the manner described, wherein both spindles are moved simultaneously.
  • the fine adjustment of the spindles 115, 116 is done individually by the manual operation of the fine adjustments 120, 121, which drive the two screws 6.
  • Each of these two screws is in turn with the worm wheel 5 and the nut 7 in engagement. Therefore A rotation of the screw 6 about its 6 main axis of inertia to a rotation of the worm wheel 5 and the nut 7.
  • the latter two components 5, 7 are positively constrained by the cylindrical pin 14 in its circumferential direction and together form a two-part nut, which - as already mentioned - Is not significantly displaced in the axial direction of the spindle, since it is prevented by the ball roller bearings 9 and 10 at such a translation.
  • these ball roller bearings 9, 10 allow the rotation of the nut 5, 7 about their main axis of inertia.
  • a rotation of the otherwise stationary two-part nut 5, 7 therefore leads to a translation of the respective spindles 115, 116, which do not rotate during this fine adjustment, otherwise the entire facial expressions of coarse adjustment 4, 3, 25 would have to rotate.
  • the described translation of the circumferentially stationary spindles in their individual vorrisebaren fine adjustment also builds no forces between the facial expressions of the coarse adjustment 4, 3, 25 and the facial expressions of fine adjustment 6, 7, 5, 14, since the facial expressions of coarse adjustment no resistance builds up the translation during the fine adjustment.
  • the spindles 115, 116 slide along the key 25, which engages in a groove in the spindles 115, 116 ( FIG. 4 ).
  • the key is in turn screwed to the screw 26 with the gear 3 and is thus relative to the translation of the spindles 115, 116 also stationary.
  • the threaded bushes 8 are in turn rotatable in a thread in the gear housing 127 about its main axis of inertia. The mentioned rotation is performed by inserting pins of a suitable turning tool into the blind holes 114 of the threaded bushing 8, so that the threaded bushing 8 can be rotated with the tool. By the rotation of the threaded bushing 8, the position of the same 8 in the axial direction of the spindle can be adjusted from the outside.
  • Coarse adjustment can be further improved by the operation of the fine adjustments 120, 121.
  • the fine adjustment is done individually for the anilox roller 104 and the format cylinder 105.
  • the printing process is recorded in the set position. If after a crack of the printing web 128, there is a need to start the anilox roller and the format cylinder from the counter-pressure roller, the torque required for this is applied by the drive 124 and transmitted via the clutch 125 to the central helical gear 4.
  • the drive 124 has the same two integrated and therefore not shown attacks that limit its rotational movement.
  • the drive 124 rotates the central helical gear 4 at a fixed angle, with the rotor of the drive rotating from the front to the rear stop. In this way, the Abstellterrorism the anilox roller and the format cylinder is brought about.
  • the drive is again operated in the reverse direction, the rotor of the drive again reaches the front stop.
