  • the invention relates to a dampening unit with an offset printing unit of a printing machine, wherein the offset printing unit comprises an inking unit and a plate cylinder carrying a printing plate with associated blanket cylinder, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a dampening unit of this kind is out DE 30 16 366 A1 which comprises a drivable moisturizer immersed in a fountain solution container and a dampening applicator roller directly in contact with the dampening ductor.
  • the dampening roller is further engageable with a plate cylinder carrying a printing plate.
  • a hydrophobic distribution cylinder which is in contact with the dampening applicator roll and which compares the dampening residue profile in the direction of rotation of the dampening applicator roll is arranged after the point of contact with the plate cylinder as a rider roll.
  • the dampening form roller is a single arranged metering roll, in the direction of rotation of the dampening form roller before the contact point with the plate cylinder, adjustable.
  • a dampening unit essentially consists of a feeder for the dampening solution, a device for metering the dampening solution film and an applicator roller which transmits the dampening solution film to a plate cylinder carrying the printing plate and coupled to the adjacent inking unit or can also be operated separately.
  • the dampening roller can have a different peripheral speed to the plate cylinder, so that, for example, foreign particles eliminating wiping effect arises.
  • a disadvantage of these embodiments is that the ink accumulating on the dampening roller is fed into the dampening unit and thus the color / dampening solution balance is impaired. These impairments show up in the form of stenciling or kordst Shape (streaks).
  • EP-A-1 561 578 a method for transporting dampening solution is known, wherein the dampening solution is fed via three juxtaposed rollers a form cylinder of a printing press. The first and second rollers are coupled to a separate drive.
  • WO 2004/054804 A describes a dampening unit with a fountain solution from a reservoir receiving a first roller and a second roller, which are part of a compactor.
  • the first and the second roller have separate drives, wherein the two rollers differ in their surface speeds on the drive side.
  • EP-A-0 764 524 is a short inking unit for an offset printing machine known. In the direction of rotation of the forme cylinder, this is preceded by a dampening unit. The structure of the dampening unit is not described in detail. In the drawings, only a dampening roller and a further upstream roller are visible, the latter roller is adjacent to another component.
  • a dampening unit is known with a rolling on the forme dampening form roller, which is arranged upstream of a transfer roller.
  • the transfer roller is in operative connection with a dampening agent metering device. Between the dampening roller and the transfer roller two parallel arranged and standing in direct contact with two rollers bridge rollers are arranged.
  • Another dampening unit is out DE 36 44 982 A which comprises a feed strand for dampening solution, formed by a drivable moisturizer immersed in the dampening solution container and a dampening applicator roll which can be brought into direct contact with the dampening roller and the plate cylinder.
  • the dampening roller is directly a bridge roller to the inking and below the dampening roller arranged a dampening.
  • a dampening system which comprises a dampening solution container with a dampening duct, a transfer roller and a dampening roller.
  • the dampening roller can be brought into contact with the plate cylinder or a bridge roller.
  • a drive device is coupled to the dampening duct and the transfer roller.
  • a drive of a dampening unit is off DE 39 23 350 C1 known.
  • the dampening unit comprises a feed strand for dampening solution, formed by a dampening roller immersed in a storage container and a dampening applicator roller directly contacting the dampening roller and the plate cylinder.
  • the dampening roller is assigned a metering roller.
  • the toothed wheel drive causing the circumferential slipping is separated or separated around the axis of the dampening duct by means of separating or restoring the tooth engagement of two idler gears by pivoting a lever carrying the dosing roller and an intermediate gear engageable.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a dampening unit of the type mentioned, which noticeably improves the print quality by a more uniform, trouble-free dampening solution to the plate cylinder.
  • the problem is solved by the training features of claim 1. Further developments will become apparent from the dependent claims.
  • An advantage of the invention is that in a dampening unit - starting from a feed strand formed at least from dampening ductor and a dampening form roller in contact with it - the dampening solution supply from the dampening ductor to the dampening form roller can be realized via at least one second feed strand formed from rolls.
  • a third feed strand formed from rolls can realize the dampening solution feed from the dampening roller to the dampening form roller.
  • Another advantage is given by the fact that with the formation of the present invention, a reduction of dampening solution excess due to the channel passage of the plate cylinder on the dampening form roller achievable and a more uniform, the print quality improving dampening solution distribution on the dampening form roller can be realized. Furthermore, stenciling (defects in which the print subject splits one or more times on the dampening form roller) and / or streaking (cord strip) on the dampening form roller is counteracted.
  • a further advantage is that the dampening unit according to the invention reduces the speed of the dampening duct and also reduces the use of alcohol.
  • the roller arrangement ensures a rapid achievement of the color / dampening solution balance when producing a very thin wet film.
  • at least the second feed strand may additionally be assigned a metering roll which is in contact with the moisturizer.
  • An offset printing unit of a printing press comprises at least one plate cylinder 1 carrying a printing plate and a blanket cylinder 2, the plate cylinder 1 being in operative connection with an inking unit 3 and a dampening unit 4.
  • the inking unit 3 associated with the plate cylinder 1 consists of a plurality of inking rollers 11, which are connected to ink-feeding rollers (not shown).
  • the dampening unit 4 is - viewed in the direction of rotation of the plate cylinder 1 - upstream of the inking unit 3 and consists in the present example of a fountain solution 8, a dipping into the fountain solution 8, rotatably drivable Feuchtduktor 6, if necessary, a Feuchtduktor 6 in contact associated metering roller 7 and a dampening roller 5.
  • Feuchtduktor 6 and dampening roller 5 are in contact and form a first Zuzhoustrang for dampening solution to the plate cylinder 1, wherein the dampening form roller 5 can be brought into contact with the plate cylinder 1 in a contact point 15.
  • the dampening duct 6 is coupled to an axially distributing traversing drive.
  • the dampening roller 5 is in the direction of rotation after the contact point 15 associated with a bridge roller 12 brought into contact, which can be brought into contact with the first in the direction of rotation of the plate cylinder 1 inking roller 11 of the inking unit 3.
  • the dampening unit 4 comprises a further supply line for fountain solution, which consists of with the dampening roller 6 and the dampening roller 5 in contact rollers (first transfer roller 10 and first rider roller 9 or second Transfer roller 14 and second rider roller 13).
