Intended to be provided.

　上記課題を解決するため、本発明に係る多色グラビア輪転機は、複数の印刷ユニットを有し、各印刷ユニットに版胴をセットして色を重ねて印刷することで多色印刷する多色グラビア輪転機であり、前記複数の印刷ユニットと、円状のハンドリングエリアを有し、前記版胴をチャックしてハンドリングすることで前記印刷ユニットの版胴を交換可能とされてなる第一の非走行型産業ロボットと、円状のハンドリングエリアを有し、前記版胴をチャックしてハンドリングすることで前記印刷ユニットの版胴を交換可能とされてなる第二の非走行型産業ロボットと、を含み、前記第一の非走行型産業ロボットのハンドリングエリアと、前記第二の非走行型産業ロボットのハンドリングエリアとが隣接又は一部重複してなり、前記第一の非走行型産業ロボットのハンドリングエリア及び前記第二の非走行型産業ロボットのハンドリングエリアに、前記複数の印刷ユニットが設置されてなり、前記印刷ユニットにセットされる版胴が前記第一の非走行型産業ロボット又は前記第二の非走行型産業ロボットによって交換されてなるようにした、多色グラビア輪転機である。 In order to solve the above problems, the multicolor gravure rotary press according to the present invention has a plurality of printing units, and sets a printing cylinder to each printing unit and performs multicolor printing by overlapping printing of colors. A gravure rotary press, comprising the plurality of printing units and a circular handling area, wherein the plate cylinder of the printing unit can be replaced by chucking and handling the plate cylinder. A traveling type industrial robot, and a second non-traveling type industrial robot having a circular handling area, wherein the plate cylinder of the printing unit can be replaced by chucking and handling the plate cylinder; And the handling area of the first non-traveling industrial robot and the handling area of the second non-traveling industrial robot are adjacent or partially overlapped, and the first non-traveling type The plurality of printing units are installed in the handling area of the industrial robot and the handling area of the second non-traveling industrial robot, and the plate cylinder set in the printing unit is the first non-traveling industrial robot Or it is a multi-color gravure rotary press made to be replaced by said 2nd non-traveling type industrial robot.

　以下に本発明の実施の形態を説明するが、これら実施の形態は例示的に示されるもので、本発明の技術思想から逸脱しない限り種々の変形が可能なことはいうまでもない。 The embodiments of the present invention will be described below, but these embodiments are exemplarily shown, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the technical concept of the present invention.

　本発明に係る多色グラビア輪転機を添付図面を用いて説明する。図において、符号１０は本発明に係る多色グラビア輪転機を示す。多色グラビア輪転機１０は、複数の印刷ユニット１２ａ～１２ｇを有し、各印刷ユニット１２ａ～１２ｇに版胴１４ａ～１４ｇをセットして色を重ねて印刷することで多色印刷する多色グラビア輪転機である。図示例では、多色印刷の例として、７色印刷（Ｃ，Ｍ，Ｙ，Ｋ，Ｒ，Ｇ，Ｂなど）の例を示した。多色グラビア輪転機では、各印刷ユニット１２ａ～１２ｇの数に対応して、版胴が必要となるため、図示例では版胴１４ａ～１４ｇとして７本の版胴が必要となる。 The multicolor gravure rotary press according to the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. In the figure, the code | symbol 10 shows the multi-color gravure rotary press which concerns on this invention. The multicolor gravure rotary press 10 has a plurality of printing units 12a to 12g, and sets the printing drums 14a to 14g on each of the printing units 12a to 12g, and performs multicolor printing by overlapping printing of colors. It is a rotary press. In the illustrated example, an example of seven-color printing (C, M, Y, K, R, G, B, etc.) is shown as an example of multi-color printing. The multi-color gravure rotary press requires plate cylinders corresponding to the number of printing units 12a to 12g, so seven plate cylinders are required as plate cylinders 14a to 14g in the illustrated example.

　多色グラビア輪転機１０は、前記複数の印刷ユニット１２ａ～１２ｇを備えており、円状のハンドリングエリアＰを有し、前記版胴１４ａ～１４ｇをチャックしてハンドリングすることで前記印刷ユニット１２ａ～１２ｇの版胴１４ａ～１４ｇを交換可能とされてなる第一の非走行型産業ロボット１６と、円状のハンドリングエリアＱを有し、前記版胴１４ａ～１４ｇをチャックしてハンドリングすることで前記印刷ユニット１２ａ～１２ｇの版胴１４ａ～１４ｇを交換可能とされてなる第二の非走行型産業ロボット１８と、を含む構成とされている。 The multicolor gravure rotary press 10 includes the plurality of printing units 12a to 12g, has a circular handling area P, and chucks the plate cylinders 14a to 14g to handle the printing units 12a to 12g. The first non-traveling type industrial robot 16 in which 12 g of plate cylinders 14a to 14 g can be replaced, and a circular handling area Q, and the plate cylinders 14 a to 14 g are chucked and handled. And a second non-traveling type industrial robot 18 in which the plate cylinders 14a to 14g of the printing units 12a to 12g can be replaced.

　第一の非走行型産業ロボット１６と第二の非走行型産業ロボット１８は、それぞれがアーム先端部２０及びアーム先端部２２を備えており、前記アーム先端部２０，２２の間隔を広狭させて版胴１４ａ～１４ｇの両端を把持するようにして版胴１４ａ～１４ｇをチャックする構成とされている（図３参照）。また、第一の非走行型産業ロボット１６と第二の非走行型産業ロボット１８の固定式台座部２４，２６は、床面Ｆに固定されている。このように、第一の非走行型産業ロボット１６と第二の非走行型産業ロボット１８は、特許文献２に記載されたような、台座が移動する走行型の産業ロボットではなく、台座が床面に固定された固定型の産業ロボットであるため、産業ロボットが走行するための走行レーンが不要である。このため、従来よりもスペースの確保ができ、また、走行レーンを産業ロボットが行き来する必要もないため、版胴の交換作業の迅速化が図れる。本発明に係る多色グラビア輪転機１０では、特許文献２に記載されたような構造の装置と比べて、版胴の交換作業において、およそ１０倍もの時間の短縮が可能である。 The first non-traveling industrial robot 16 and the second non-traveling industrial robot 18 each include an arm tip 20 and an arm tip 22, and the distance between the arm tips 20 and 22 is made wide and narrow. The printing drums 14a to 14g are chucked so as to grip the both ends of the printing drums 14a to 14g (see FIG. 3). The fixed pedestals 24 and 26 of the first non-traveling industrial robot 16 and the second non-traveling industrial robot 18 are fixed to the floor surface F. Thus, the first non-traveling type industrial robot 16 and the second non-traveling type industrial robot 18 are not the traveling type industrial robots in which the base moves as described in Patent Document 2, but the base is the floor Since it is a fixed type industrial robot fixed to the surface, a traveling lane for the industrial robot to travel is unnecessary. For this reason, more space can be secured than in the past, and there is no need for the industrial robot to move back and forth in the traveling lane, so the work of replacing the plate cylinder can be speeded up. In the multicolor gravure rotary press 10 according to the present invention, as compared with the apparatus having the structure as described in Patent Document 2, the time required for replacing the plate cylinder can be reduced by about 10 times.

　また、前記第一の非走行型産業ロボット１６のハンドリングエリアＰと、前記第二の非走行型産業ロボット１８のハンドリングエリアＱとが隣接又は一部重複してなるように構成されている。図１の例では、前記第一の非走行型産業ロボット１６のハンドリングエリアＰと、前記第二の非走行型産業ロボット１８のハンドリングエリアＱとが一部重複している例を示したが、ハンドリングエリアＰとハンドリングエリアＱとは隣接していてもよい。非走行型産業ロボットのハンドリングエリアは非走行型産業ロボットのロボットアームの旋回範囲であり、非走行型産業ロボットの作業エリア（又は作業範囲）となる。図３の符号４６は、前記第一の非走行型産業ロボット１６の固定式台座部２４に接続された旋回式アーム部を示し、旋回式アーム部４６の先端がアーム先端部２０とされている。前記第二の非走行型産業ロボット１８の固定式台座部２６にも同様に旋回式アーム部４８に接続されており、先端がアーム先端部２２とされている。前記第一の非走行型産業ロボット１６及び前記第二の非走行型産業ロボット１８のロボットアームは旋回自在な多軸のロボットアームである。この前記第一の非走行型産業ロボット１６及び前記第二の非走行型産業ロボット１８は制御盤を操作することで制御される。 Further, the handling area P of the first non-traveling type industrial robot 16 and the handling area Q of the second non-traveling type industrial robot 18 are configured to be adjacent or partially overlapped. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the handling area P of the first non-traveling industrial robot 16 and the handling area Q of the second non-traveling industrial robot 18 partially overlap.
