Abstract

A method is provided for automatically exchanging a sleeve (18a) of a printing tool (14, 16, 18, 22, 24) mounted in a printing machine (12), in particular a flexographic printing machine, by means of a printing tool handling unit (28) comprising a coupling interface (36). In one step of the method the printing tool handling unit (28) is temporarily coupled to a coupling interface (46) located at the end of a shaft (54, 56, 58, 60) of the printing tool (14, 16, 18, 22, 24) with its coupling interface (36). In a further step, the printing tool handling unit (28) transports the printing tool (14, 16, 18, 22, 24) to a separation unit (78) comprising at least one clamping device (80, 82, 84) and places the printing tool (14, 16, 18, 22, 24) in the clamping device (80) of the separation unit (78). The printing tool (14, 16, 18, 22, 24), in particular a sleeve (18a) of the printing tool (14, 16, 18, 22, 24), is clamped by the clamping device (80), and the printing tool handling unit (28) separates the shaft (54, 56, 58, 60) from the sleeve (18a) by pulling the shaft (54, 56, 58, 60) out of the sleeve (18a) while the sleeve (18a) is clamped in the clamping device (80).

Abstract

A method is provided for automatically exchanging a sleeve (18a) of a printing tool (18) mounted in a printing machine, in particular a flexographic printing machine, by means of a printing tool handling unit comprising a coupling interface. In one step of the method the printing tool handling unit is temporarily coupled to a coupling interface located at the end of a shaft (60) of the printing tool (18) with its coupling interface. In a further step, the printing tool handling unit transports the printing tool (18) to a separation unit (78) comprising at least one clamping device (80) and places the printing tool (18) in the clamping device (80) of the separation unit (78). The printing tool (18), in particular the sleeve (18a) of the printing tool (18), is clamped by the clamping device (80), and the printing tool handling unit separates the shaft (60) from the sleeve (18a) by pulling the shaft (60) out of the sleeve (18a) while the sleeve (18a) is clamped in the clamping device (80).

Abstract

A method for the determination of print parameters of a printing machine, particularly a flexographic printing machine, comprises the following steps: First, a print form (12) is provided and mounted on a print cylinder (14). Then, at least one high-resolution image of the surface of the print form (12) is recorded by means of a 3D camera (18). On the basis of the at least one high-resolution image a height profile of the print form (12) is determined and then a simulated print image is calculated on the basis of the height profile and an initial set of print parameters. Finally, optimized print parameters are determined by checking and/or varying the print parameters of the initial set. For this purpose, a simulated print image is calculated again after the print parameters have been varied. In addition, a test stand is specified on which such a method can be carried out.

Abstract

The invention is about a drying system to be applied on the central drum of a flexographic machine. The dryer is made of two concentric cylinders: the outer one having a slot - or several slots with different thicknesses - the inner one having a slot with a trapezoid shape. By adjusting the relative position of the trapeze and the outer slot sets the effective size of the vent, which determines the air flow coming out of the dryer. This results in a simple and reliable way of configuring the drying of the print.

Abstract

A ventilation and drying equipment for printing machines, including ovens operable to dry solvent on a printed support travelling through the ovens passages into and out of the ovens through which false or ambient air can enter the oven from the outside. At least one false air suppression device for which each printing unit covers at least one of the passages and which is maintained at a pressure lower than the air pressure inside the oven, to prevent false air from entering the oven through the at least one passage. Each false air suppression device is connected with a common recirculation duct in order to share the false air coming from each printing unit with the whole press.
