Definitions

the invention relates to a device and a method for transferring imaging layers from a carrier foil to printed sheets according to the preamble of claims 1 and 18.
a printing material and a printing apparatus using this material are described.
a sheet-processing machine which has a feeder and a boom, wherein printing units and a coating module are arranged between the two units.
an adhesive pattern is applied by means of the planographic printing process. This adhesive pattern is applied in a cold printing process and has a specific imaging subject.
a film guide is provided in the printing unit following the coating module with a counter-pressure cylinder and a press roller.
the transfer film has a carrier layer on which imaging layers such as metallic layers, for example of aluminum, can be applied. Between the metallic layer and the carrier film, a separating layer is provided, which ensures that the metallic layer can be removed from the carrier layer.
each sheet is given an adhesive pattern. Thereafter, the sheet is passed through the coating module, being brought by means of the press roller on the impression cylinder resting sheet with the film material in combination. At the same time, the metal layer lying down is narrow Connect to the adhesive areas on the sheet. After further transporting the printing sheet, the metallic layer adheres only in the area provided with the adhesive pattern. The carrier film is thus removed from the metallic layer in the region of the adhesive pattern. The used in this way transfer film is wound up again. The print sheet is laid out in the coated state. It is known to use such coating modules, for example in printing units of printing presses. A disadvantage of the known devices is that they can not be used flexibly.
the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device by means of which the transfer of an imaging layer, e.g. a metallization layer can be done on a sheet safely, economically and accurately, the device should be manageable for an extended range of applications.
a partial film application is to be made possible.
the device is characterized in that a press roller has a pressing surface which occupies a partial area of the total area of a printed sheet.
press surfaces are designed as tensionable segments or as cut-out rubber blankets or as passably produced, preferably photopolymer high-pressure plates or as detachable, for example under magnetic action, attachable pressing segments.
a pad with or without damping effect e.g. to use a vacuum blanket.
a clamping spindle as in a blanket cylinder known or so-called combination spar rails for blankets or printing plates, as known from the blanket cylinders or the form of cylinders.
the surface of the press cylinder elevator is also suitable for profiled embossing.
the press cylinder should be adjustable e.g. in the manner of a register system for automatic printing plate tension.
the side and circumferential register can be adjustable as in a forme cylinder.
the press cylinder elevator can be provided with register punches.
the device can also be advantageously used in order to improve the use of the film by dividing the transfer film into one or more partial film webs of lesser width.
the aforementioned methods can be used side by side so also different types of films.
a control of the transfer film can be carried out such that, when passing through a cylinder channel receiving the grippers of the sheet-guiding impression cylinder, the film feed is stopped, wherein the press roll then passes in a sliding manner under the transfer film.
the image-forming layer can be applied by means of so-called UV negative-pressure ink.
the UV negative pressure ink is applied by means of the printing unit for the adhesive in a corresponding manner via an offset printing plate.
the application of different imaging coatings or metallization layers within a subject can take place one after the other.
the applicator 1 may be a per se known offset printing unit with an inking unit 11, a plate cylinder 12 and a blanket cylinder 13.
the blanket cylinder 13 cooperates with a counter-pressure cylinder 4.
the coating unit 2 can also be formed by an offset printing unit.
the transfer nip 6 in the coating unit 2 is formed by a press roll 3 and an impression cylinder 4.
the press roller 3 may correspond to the blanket cylinder.
the press roll 3 may also correspond to the forme cylinder of a paint module.
a web guide 14 for transfer films is shown within the coating unit 2 used for the film transfer.
the transfer film 5 is thereby switched on and executed by protective devices 15 of the coating unit 2.
an integrated in the applicator 1 film transfer device may be provided, whereby an integrated film application module is created.
a press roll 3 ' is assigned downstream of a printing gap between a blanket or forme cylinder 13 and the impression cylinder 4 on a counter-pressure cylinder 4.
the cold foil stamping takes place in a single integrated foil application module FA, as indicated in FIG.
an applicator can also be arranged in a compact design within the coating module in an integrated film application module FA.
the transfer film would be guided here around the blanket cylinder 13 or approximately tangentially past it through the designated printing nip.
Such an adhesive applicator device 1 ' may consist of a compact forme cylinder for supporting a printing form for the adhesive and an applicator of a chamber doctor blade and an anilox roller for supplying the adhesive.
the adhesive application is first carried out on the printing substrate and the film application is carried out immediately thereafter.
the film supply roll 8 is assigned to the coating unit 2 on the sheet feed side.
the film supply roll 8 has a rotary drive 7 for the continuous controlled feeding of the transfer film to the coating unit 2.
a film feed deflection or tension rollers for guiding the transfer film 5 may be provided in a substantially constant tension against the press roller 3.
a film collecting roller 9 is provided for the used sheet material.
One Rotary drive 7 on the film collection roller 9 is always advantageous. It can even be provided that the transfer film 5 is conveyed on the outlet side by means of the rotary drive 7 and held taut on the inlet side by means of a brake.
the press roll 3 (as a blanket cylinder or forme cylinder or separate press roll) carries on its surface a compressible or damping, e.g. also provided with a compressible intermediate layer element.
the press roll 3 can be provided with a press fabric 10, for example as a plastic cover, comparable to a blanket or blanket, which is held in a cylinder channel on clamping devices.
the film feed of the transfer film 5 from the film supply roll 8 to the transfer nip 6 and the film collection roller 9 is gradually controlled, the transfer film 5 is then stopped, if no transfer of imaging or covering layers should take place.
the associated device preferably includes a corresponding feed control for the transfer sheet 5, which ensures that at least the lying in the region of the press roller 3 and the impression cylinder 4 part of the film web is stationary as long as the cylinder channel passes.
a further improvement of the film utilization of the type described results when the transfer film 5 is divided into one or more Operafolienbahnen lesser width.
the utilization of the transfer film 5 can be improved even in zonally different lengths coating areas within an arc.
dryer 16 can be provided in the film application module thus formed from the applicator 1 and the coating unit 2, by means of which the adhesive application or the entire film coating can be dried.
UV dryers come into question.
the film application module may include a monitoring device 17 for scanning the sheet surface.
the monitoring device 17 enables the evaluation of image contents of the coating and the detection of defects in the film coating.
Such a monitoring device can also be provided in conjunction with the printing press, in which the film application module is integrated. Then it can be arranged for example in the sheet delivery of the printing press or a last printing unit.
the coating module can be provided with means for conditioning the transfer film in order to improve the layer transfer and the coating result.
the film web 5 can be influenced by means of the film guiding device 14.
a contoured or segmented pressing surface 21 should be provided as the surface of the press roll 3.
a segmented pressing surface 21 limited to one or more regions to be coated is used on the pressing roller 3.
the segmented pressing surface 21 may be formed as an isolated surface element, as an annular, narrow surface element encircling the press roll 3, as a surface line following a limited peripheral portion covering over the width of the press roll 3 reaching surface element or in the form of several such surface elements.
a provided on its underside with a magnetic adhesive surface Anyaksegment 22 may for example be placed directly on the surface of the press roll 3.
a magnetic film can also be clamped onto the surface of the press roll 3, to which then a contact pressure segment 22 with a magnetically adhering rear side can be placed for affixing or positioning the segmented press surface 21 is.
the surface and the internal structure of the An horrsegmentes 22 should correspond to the information described above in terms of elasticity and smoothness.
a compressible pad 23 may be provided which carries a preferably smooth relatively firm functional layer 24.
this limited segmented pressing surface 21 is that - as in the passage of the cylinder channel 19 - the entrapment of the transfer film 5 is given only if the segmented pressing surface 21, the transfer film 5 touching the transfer nip 6 passes. In other words, the pressing surface 21 should only act on the transfer film 5, where actually imaging layers are to be transferred from the transfer film 5 to the printing sheet.
a pad with or without damping effect e.g. to use a vacuum blanket.
a substructure is only suitable for press fabrications that do not contain rigid metal layers.
a clamping spindle as in a blanket cylinder known or so-called combination clamping rails for blankets or printing plates, as known from the blanket cylinders or the form of cylinders.
the surface of the press cylinder elevator is also suitable for profiled embossing.
the press roller 3 may be performed with a register system, for example via register pins or register stops.
the press fabric 10 or the support of the press fabric 10 may be provided with register punches corresponding thereto.
the tensioning of the press fabric 10 or of the press fabric 10 carrying press segments on the press roll 3 can take place by means of an automatic feed and tensioning device. Then it becomes possible to prepare the press fabric 10 outside of the coating unit 2 and to automatically clamp it during other set-up operations.
the press roller 3 should also be adjustable. This can e.g. in the manner of a register system for automatic printing plate tension.
a so-called page register and a circumferential register of the press roller 3 is comparable as in a plate cylinder or forme cylinder adjustable.
the counter-pressure cylinder for positioning the sheet can be registered relative to the pressing roller 3 carrying the pressing segments.
registration of the printed sheets itself by means of sheet transport drums arranged between the printing units is possible both in the circumferential direction as well as in the lateral direction as well as in the diagonal direction.
