Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device in a machine for transferring imaging layers from a carrier film to printing sheet according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • each sheet is given an adhesive pattern. Thereafter, the sheet is passed through the coating unit, being brought by means of the press roller on the impression cylinder resting sheet with the film material in combination. In this case, the downwardly lying metallic layer enters into a close connection with the areas provided with adhesive on the printed 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.
  • a film guide in an embossing device is known.
  • a coating unit is provided for transferring image-forming or covering layers from a transfer film to a printing material.
  • a film application module is provided in a sheet-fed rotary printing press with means for regulating the web tension of the film web. Furthermore, it is provided that the transport movement of the transfer film web is then stopped when there are no transfer surfaces or when a cylinder channel passes through the printing gap, so that a timed film movement is formed.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device by means of which the transfer of an imaging layer on a sheet can be done economically and safely, the device should be easy to handle.
  • the setting of the film timing of a coating unit in such a way that the film timing or the frequency and duration of the film timing is dependent on the machine speed or the length of the fürssmit or the required transfer quality.
  • the device can be used in an advantageous manner if an improvement of the film utilization is to be achieved by dividing the transfer film into one or more partial film webs of lesser width. In combination with the above-mentioned method, it is thus also possible to use different types of film side by side.
  • the applicator 1 may be a known offset printing unit with an inking unit 11 a plate cylinder 12, a blanket cylinder 13 and a sheet leading impression cylinder 4. Likewise, this may be a so-called paint module in which the blanket cylinder 13 is formed as a forme cylinder. The form cylinder is coated with paint or glue from e.g. as a chamber doctor blade trained device instead of the inking unit 11 supplies.
  • 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, the blanket cylinder and the impression cylinder 4 correspond to the impression cylinder of an offset printing unit.
  • the press roller 3, the forme cylinder and the impression cylinder 4 corresponding to the impression cylinder of a paint module of a sheet-fed press.
  • the coating unit 2 may also be formed as a base unit of a printing unit, so that only a counter-pressure cylinder 4 and a press roll 3 are present to perform the sheet transport and the transfer process in the transfer nip 6 in conjunction with appropriately provided Folienab- and -aufrollieux.
  • the transfer films 5 have a multilayer structure. They have a carrier layer on which an imaging layer is applied by means of a release layer.
  • the separating layer serves to facilitate lifting of the imaging layer from the carrier layer.
  • the image-forming layer may be, for example, a metallized layer or a glossy layer or a texture layer or a colored layer or a layer containing one or more image patterns.
  • 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.
  • the rotary drive 7 is required for the continuous controlled feeding of the transfer film to the coating unit 2 and is therefore controllable.
  • the film feed a deflection or tensioning roller provided. Thus, the film web of the transfer film is always held in the same voltage against the press roller 3.
  • a film collection roller 9 On the downstream side of the printing unit, a film collection roller 9 is shown. On the film collecting roll 9, the used film material is wound up again. Again, a rotary drive 7 is provided for the optimized production, which is controllable. In essence, the transfer film 5 could also be moved by the rotary drive 7 on the discharge side and kept taut on the inlet side by means of a brake. The transfer process of the imaging eg metallized layer on the printing paper takes place in the transfer nip 6 between the press roller 3 and the impression cylinder 4.
  • a press roll 3 ' as in FIG. 1 indicated in the applicator 1 the transfer gap between the blanket cylinder 13 and impression cylinder 4 downstream and assigned to the impression cylinder 4.
  • a transfer film 5' can be placed on a sheet held on the printing cylinder 4, so that the image-forming or metallizing layer can be made there directly downstream of the imaging adhesive application.
  • the press roll 3 is provided with a press fabric 10, e.g. be provided as a plastic coating, comparable to a blanket or blanket.
  • the press fabric 10 is held in a cylinder channel on jigs.
  • the film advance of the transfer film 5 from the film supply roll 8 to the transfer nip 6 and the film collection roll 9 is controllable so that as far as possible the transfer film 5 is stopped when no transfer of the imaging layer should take place .
  • a control of the transfer film 5 can be made so that the film feed is stopped during the passage of a gripper of the sheet leading impression cylinder 4 receiving cylinder channel.
  • a web guide for transfer films 5 is shown, has film guide rollers 14, by means of which the transfer film 5 is supplied to the transfer nip 6 and discharged therefrom.
  • openings in existing on the coating unit 2 protections 15 are provided. These openings are designed so that the film webs 5 are easily fed and discharged and at the same time the protection function is fully retained.
  • FIG. 1 is provided as a main variant of an approximately tangential film guide between the press roller 3 and the impression cylinder 4 with respect to the press roll 3 and the wrap of the press roll 3 by less than 90 degrees. This is to achieve a defined conditioning of the film web 5 on the press roller 3 and at the same time the necessary conditions for a film timing or a Folienstillstand in the transfer nip 6 during a channel run, but also for the use of narrow film webs 5 are created.
  • the transport of the transfer film 5 can be monitored on or between film guide rolls by checking the web tension of the film web 5.
  • a stabilizing device may be arranged in order to reduce flapping movements of the film web 5.
  • the stabilization device has z. B. two rotatably mounted rollers, which is provided for the variable setting of the wrap angle of the film web 5 on the guide rollers, so that the guiding action and the damping effect on the film web 5 is adjustable depending on the operating condition.
  • the setting of the stabilization device can be carried out in conjunction with a web tension control and possibly a sensor device for web break monitoring.
  • the additionally obtained information about the web tension as the actual value, in particular in the context of the aforementioned evaluations, can be used for the control of the printing or transfer process.
  • the system can be connected to a control station 80 of the printing machine.
  • the Setpoints for maximum and minimum web tension can be entered. This may depend on the type of transfer film 5 used and on the printing or transfer conditions in the coating module 2 in connection with the properties of the printing material, the adhesive or the press fabric.
  • the necessary data can be read via interfaces directly from data carriers to film supply rolls and changed by means of parameter values from the setting of the transfer process on the coating module 2.
  • the gap of the printing gap 60 between the surfaces of the blanket cylinder 41 and the impression cylinder 40 is adjustable by means of the printing blanket cylinder 41 associated adjusting devices 45.
  • the setting referred to relates to the thickness of the printing material to be processed, which is to be printed in the printing nip 60. This is a pressure squeeze necessary to transfer the ink from the blanket cylinder 41 to the held on the impression cylinder 40 substrate.
  • the pressure in the pressure gap 60 is matched to the pressure provided in the transfer gap 6 for the film transfer.
  • the pressure is selected depending on the type and elastic property of the cover 42 arranged on the blanket cylinder 41 and the press fabric 10 arranged on the press roller 3.
  • a hard-elastic and in its surface opposite the film web 5 little adhesive, but thereby optionally very finely profiled cover is selected on the press roller 3.
  • a cover suitable for normal color printing is selected on the blanket cylinder 41 as a blanket or blanket 42, which is designed to accept ink.
  • the blanket or blanket may be made softer in terms of its elasticity than is provided in the press fabric 10 of the press roll 3.
  • the pressing of the printing material in the transfer nip 6 or printing nip 60 results from the fact that there is a distance adjustment for the function setting of the elements involved (ie for the film transfer or color printing) so that the gap is smaller by a certain amount than by the thickness of is predetermined processing substrate.
  • the substrate is compressed when passing through the transfer nip 6 or the pressure nip 60 by the fabric (press fabric 10 and blanket 42) deform due to their elasticity by the amount that was used for the gap adjustment.
  • the actuators 45, 46 are commonly used in offset printing on printing blanket or blanket cylinders of printing units or on cylinders of varnish modules.
  • This machine controls includes all settings for the printing unit 50 and also the printing units or application of the printing or application machine, which are included in the coating unit 2 and the commissioned work 1.
  • a control device may be provided which ensures the setting of the printing press on the cold foil transfer for corresponding settings in the printing units.
  • the machine control of the printing press therefore provides that a special adjustment is provided for the mode of operation Kalfifolientransfer.
  • the printing unit 50 is represented as a coating module, but is also functionally evaluated as a printing unit. Therefore, a printing unit or several printing units could be used instead of the paint module shown.
  • readers 70 for detecting process parameters on the printing machine may be connected to a control station 80 or to a printing tower of the printing press. The data can then be read both automatically and manually operated and transmitted to the machine control.
  • the inventive method is to be carried out so that the timing and the clocking speed are performed depending on the length of the subject.
  • the timing is limited.
  • the intended printing speed is introduced.
  • control of the printing machine is assigned a set of timing settings that is stored in the control room or the machine control or assigned to a work preparation station.
  • set of curves definitions or selection options can be defined with the aid of which the production can be driven as low as possible in relation to the cost of production, depending on the material costs, personnel costs or production times for an order.
