Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling a circumferential register in a web-fed rotary press, according to which an actual value pertaining to a tension (51-55) of a web (03) passing through the printing units (04, 06, 07, 08) is determined, and an angular position and/or an angular velocity of a cylinder (12, 16) of a first printing unit (04) with regard to a cylinder of a second printing unit (06) is changed according to this determined tension. The correction of a register offset ensues without controlling the tension (51-55) and without the use of an optical recognition system by determining the value of the necessary change for the angular position (deltaphi) and/or the angular velocity (deltaphi) as a function of the measured tension (51-55) of the web (03).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Verfahren zur Regelung eines Umfangsregisters gemäß den Ansprüchen 1 oder 8.The invention relates to methods for controlling a circumferential register according to claims 1 or 8.

Durch die EP 09 51 993 A1 ist eine Regelung des Quer- und Längsregisters bekannt, wobei die Korrektur des Querregisters mittels einer Zugwalze erfolgt. Eine Änderung in der Längsdehnung wird über Bahngeschwindigkeiten und andere Parameter, wie Spannungs-Dehnungsdiagramm und Spannungssollwerte, ermittelt und auf Regeleinrichtungen für Zylinder der Druckwerke und/oder eines Stellgliedes zur Einstellung und Korrektur des Schnittregisters zurückgeführt.By EP 09 51 993 A1 a regulation of the transverse and longitudinal register is known, wherein the correction of the transverse register is effected by means of a tension roller. A change in longitudinal strain is determined by web speeds and other parameters, such as stress-strain and tension setpoints, and fed back to cylinder pressure regulators and / or an actuator for adjustment and correction of the cut register.

Die WO 00/34042 offenbart ein Verfahren, zur Regelung eines Registers, wobei eine Abweichung einer Bahnspannung von einem Sollwert eine Drehzahl und/oder Winkellage einer ersten Druckstelle relativ zu einer zweiten Druckstelle verändert.WO 00/34042 discloses a method for controlling a register, wherein a deviation of a web tension from a desired value changes a rotational speed and / or angular position of a first pressure point relative to a second pressure point.

Die EP 0 950 519 A1 zeigt ein Verfahren zur Regelung des Schnitt- und Farbregisters mehrerer Bahnen zueinander und zwischen den einzelnen Druckeinheiten. Es werden Dehnungen anhand der Arbeitspunkte der Antriebe für Transportwalzen, der angestellten Zylinder und Zugwalzen ermittelt und daraus berechnete Korrekturgrößen als Positionsoffset den Führungsgrößen für das Schnittregister oder der Farbregister zugeschaltet.EP 0 950 519 A1 discloses a method for controlling the cut and color register of a plurality of webs to each other and between the individual printing units. Strains are determined on the basis of the operating points of the drives for transport rollers, the employed cylinders and draw rollers and calculated therefrom calculated correction variables as position offset the reference variables for the cutting register or the color register.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Verfahren zur Regelung eines Umfangsregisters in Rollenrotationsdruckmaschinen zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide methods for controlling a circumferential register in web-fed rotary printing presses.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale der Ansprüche 1 oder 8 gelöst.The object is achieved by the features of claims 1 or 8 solved.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass einem Fehler im Umfangsregister aufgrund von Spannungsschwankungen oder von Schwankungen im Umfang von Druckzylindern, z. B. verursacht durch kurzfristige Änderungen in einer Dicke der Bahn, ohne großen Meß- und Regelaufwand entgegen gewirkt wird. Der zu korrigierende Fehler kann ein Passerversatz (Fehler im sog. Farbregister) oder aber ein Registerfehler zwischen den beiden Seiten der bedruckten Bahn sein. Ein zwischen zwei Druckstellen eintretender Unterschied in der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Bahn, wird mit einer Änderung der relativen Drehlage der Druckstellen zueinander korrigiert.The achievable with the present invention consist in particular that an error in the circumferential register due to voltage fluctuations or fluctuations in the extent of printing cylinders, z. B. caused by short-term changes in a thickness of the web is counteracted without much measurement and control effort. The error to be corrected may be a registration error (error in the so-called color register) or a registration error between the two sides of the printed web. A difference in the transport speed of the web between two pressure points is corrected with a change in the relative rotational position of the pressure points relative to one another.

Von großem Vorteil ist es, dass auf aufwendige Messung und Regelungen mittels auf der Bahn aufgebrachter Farbmarken verzichtet werden kann. Es muß zwecks Korrektur des Umfangsregisters weder eine direkte Messung der Dehnung noch eine Spannungsregelung oder Drehmomentregelung mittels der Betriebspunkte der Antriebe nach der Druckeinheit erfolgen.Of great advantage is that can be dispensed with elaborate measurement and regulations by means applied on the web color marks. It must be done for the purpose of correction of the circumferential register neither a direct measurement of strain nor a voltage regulation or torque control means of the operating points of the drives after the printing unit.

Insbesondere vorteilhaft ist das Verfahren und eine entsprechende Vorrichtung einsetzbar für Passerversatz in Druckeinheiten mit mehreren hintereinander oder übereinander angeordneten Doppeldruckwerken im Gummi-gegen-Gummi Betrieb, wie z. B. bei einem aus zwei sog. H-Druckeinheiten zusammen gesetzten Achterdruckturm, wobei mindestens zwei der Druckstellen nacheinander auf die gleiche Seite einer Bahn drucken.Particularly advantageously, the method and a corresponding device can be used for register offset in printing units with several successive or stacked double printing in rubber-against-rubber operation such. B. in a two so-called. H-pressure units put together eight-high pressure tower, wherein at least two of the pressure points successively print on the same side of a web.

Für aus zwei H-Druckeinheiten bestehende Achtertürme ist es von besonderem Vorteil die zeitliche Änderung der Spannung der Bahn (z. B. vor und nach dem Durchlaufen einer Klebestelle der Bahn) hinter dem letzten Druckwerk bzw. der letzten Druckeinheit auszuwerten und nur eine Änderung einer Winkellage der in Laufrichtung der Bahn ersten H-Druckeinheit relativ zur zweiten H-Druckeinheit vorzunehmen. Allgemein ist diese Regelung des Umfangsregisters, insbesondere des Farbregisters, vorteilhaft für mehrere, z. B. mindestens drei nacheinander von einer Bahn durchlaufene Druckeinheiten, wobei ein Abstand zwischen den beiden ersten Klemmstellen deutlich kleiner ist als ein nachfolgender Abstand zu einer dritten Klemmstelle. Der Achterturm aus zwei H-Druckeinheiten ist hierfür ein Beispiel.For four-high towers consisting of two H-printing units, it is particularly advantageous to evaluate the change in the tension of the web (eg before and after passing through a splice of the web) behind the last printing unit or the last printing unit and only one change Angular position of make in the direction of the web first H-pressure unit relative to the second H-pressure unit. Generally this is Control of the circumferential register, in particular the color register, advantageous for several, z. B. at least three consecutive traversed by a web printing units, wherein a distance between the two first terminal points is significantly smaller than a subsequent distance to a third terminal point. The four-high tower consisting of two H-pressure units is an example of this.

In Druckmaschinen, welche Satelliten-Druckeinheiten aufweisen, ist das Verfahren in vorteilhafter Weise einsetzbar, um das Register zwischen den beiden Seiten der Bahn zu regeln.In printing machines having satellite printing units, the method is advantageously usable to control the register between the two sides of the web.

In einer Ausführungsform ist von besonderem Vorteil, dass eine zeitliche Veränderung der Spannung nach der letzten Druckeinheit, d. h. eine Differenz in der Spannung zu einem ersten und einem zweiten Zeitpunkt, direkt und linear zur Korrektur des Passerversatzes der zweiten H-Druckeinheit relativ zur ersten herangezogen wird. Dies erfordert einen äußerst geringen Mess- und Regelaufwand bei ausreichender Genauigkeit.In one embodiment, it is of particular advantage that a temporal change of the voltage after the last printing unit, i. H. a difference in the voltage at a first and a second time, directly and linearly used to correct the registration offset of the second H-pressure unit relative to the first. This requires a very low measurement and control effort with sufficient accuracy.

Vorteilhafter Weise kann auf eine Spannungsregelung, z. B. mittels einer momentengeregelten Zugwalze hinter dem Druckturm verzichtet werden. Eine ungeregelte Zugwalze mit gesteuerter Drehzahl ist hier ausreichend. Ein z. B. durch eine Klebestelle verursachter Passerversatz wird in vorteilhafter Ausführungsform ausschließlich über das Umfangsregister der Zylinder, insbesondere der Zylinder der ersten Druckeinheit oder der ersten beiden Druckeinheiten korrigiert. Insbesondere können die beiden ersten Druckeinheiten, beispielsweise als H-Druckeinheit, gemeinsam angesteuert werden, so dass lediglich eine einzige Korrekturgröße ermittelt, und eine einzige Korrektur vorgenommen werden muß.Advantageously, can be applied to a voltage control, for. B. be dispensed by means of a torque-controlled draw roller behind the printing tower. An unregulated pull roll with controlled speed is sufficient here. A z. B. caused by a splice register offset is corrected in an advantageous embodiment exclusively on the circumferential register of the cylinder, in particular the cylinder of the first printing unit or the first two printing units. In particular, the two first printing units, for example as an H printing unit, can be controlled jointly, so that only a single correction quantity is determined, and a single correction must be made.

Eine Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine weist zum Beispiel einen Achterturm 01 und einen Rollenwechsler 02 auf. Vom Rollenwechsler 02 läuft während des Druckbetriebes eine Bahn 03, z. B. eine Papierbahn 03, beispielsweise über ein nicht dargestelltes Einzugwerk, durch den Achterturm 01 hindurch.For example, a web-fed rotary printing press has a four-high tower 01 and a roll changer 02. From the roll changer 02 runs during printing a web 03, z. B. a paper web 03, for example via an unillustrated Einzugwerk, through the four-tower 01 therethrough.

Der Achterturm 01 weist insgesamt vier Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07; 08, gleichbedeutend mit vier Klemmstellen 04; 06; 07; 08, auf. Im Beispiel sind diese Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07; 08 als Doppeldruckwerke 04; 06; 07; 08 ausgeführt und arbeiten während des Druckens im Gummi-gegen-Gummi-Betrieb. Zwei der Druckeinheiten 04; 06 sind innerhalb einer ersten, im Beispiel unteren H-Druckeinheit 09, und die anderen beiden Druckeinheiten 07; 08 innerhalb einer zweiten, im Beispiel oberen H-Druckeinheit 11 angeordnet. Jede der Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07; 08 weist mindestens 3, im Beispiel vier Zylinder 12; 13; 14; 16, z. B. einen ersten Formzylinder 12, einen mit dem ersten Formzylinder 12 zusammen wirkenden Übertragungszylinder 13, einen mit dem Übertragungszylinder 13 über die Papierbahn 03 zusammen wirkenden Gegendruckzylinder 14, und, falls der Gegendruckzylinder 14 wie hier als zweiter Übertragungszylinder 14 ausgeführt ist, einen mit diesem zusammen wirkenden zweiten Formzylinder 16 auf.The four-high tower 01 has a total of four printing units 04; 06; 07; 08, equivalent to four terminal points 04; 06; 07; 08, up. In the example, these printing units 04; 06; 07; 08 as double printing units 04; 06; 07; 08 and work during printing in rubber-against-rubber operation. Two of the printing units 04; 06 are within a first, in the example lower H-pressure unit 09, and the other two pressure units 07; 08 within a second, in the example upper H-pressure unit 11 is arranged. Each of the printing units 04; 06; 07; 08 has at least 3, four cylinders 12 in the example; 13; 14; 16, z. Example, a first forme cylinder 12, a cooperating with the first forme cylinder 12 transfer cylinder 13, one with the transfer cylinder 13 via the paper web 03 cooperating impression cylinder 14, and, if the impression cylinder 14 as here designed as a second transfer cylinder 14, one with this cooperating second forme cylinder 16.

Jede der Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07; 08 weist im Beispiel stellvertretend mindestens einen Antriebsmotor 17; 18; 19; 21 auf. Es kann jedoch auch jeder Zylinder 12; 13; 14; 16 jeder Druckeinheit 04; 06; 07; 08 oder auch jeweils jedes Paar von Übertragungszylindem 13; 14 und Formzylinder 12; 16 gemeinsam einen Antriebsmotor aufweisen. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, dass die untere H-Druckeinheit 09 einen mittels eines Antriebsmotors 17; 18 und die obere H-Druckeinheit 11 mittels eines Antriebsmotors 19; 21 angetriebenen Antriebsverbund bilden. Nach der letzten Druckeinheit 08 ist eine Zugwalze 22 angeordnet. Zwischen dem Rollenwechsler 02 und der ersten Druckeinheit 04 ist ein Einzugwerk 23 (symbolisiert durch eine Zugwalze) angeordnet. Den Druckeinheiten 04, 06; 07, 08 sind jeweils nicht dargestellte Farbwerke und ggf. Feuchtwerke zugeordnet.Each of the printing units 04; 06; 07; 08 has in the example representative at least one drive motor 17; 18; 19; 21 on. However, it can also each cylinder 12; 13; 14; 16 of each printing unit 04; 06; 07; 08 or also each pair of transfer cylinders 13; 14 and forme cylinder 12; 16 together have a drive motor. However, it is also possible that the lower H-pressure unit 09 by means of a drive motor 17; 18 and the upper H-pressure unit 11 by means of a drive motor 19; 21 form driven drive network. After the last printing unit 08, a tension roller 22 is arranged. Between the reel changer 02 and the first printing unit 04, a retraction unit 23 (symbolized by a tension roller) is arranged. The printing units 04, 06; 07, 08 are not shown inking units and possibly associated with dampening units.

Im Verlauf der Papierbahn 03 vom Rollenwechsler 02 bis hinter die in Papierlaufrichtung gesehen letzte Druckeinheit 08 des Achterturms 01 liegen Spannungen S1; S2; S3; S4; S5 vor. Vor dem Achterturm 01 liegt die Spannung S1, z. B. S1 zwischen 30 und 50 daN/m, zwischen den Druckeinheiten 04 und 06 die Spannung S2, zwischen der ersten H-Druckeinheit 09 und der zweiten H-Druckeinheit 11 die Spannung S3, zwischen den Druckeinheiten 07 und 08 die Spannung S2 und nach der letzten Druckeinheit 06 die Spannung S5, z. B. S5 zwischen 10 und 20 daN/m, insbesondere von 12-15 daN/m. Die exakten Niveaus und die genauen Differenzen richten sich jedoch nach der Wasserempfindlichkeit des verwendeten Papiers. Das erheblich höhere Niveau der Spannung S1 im Vergleich zu S5 ist wesentlich. Eine Regelung der Spannung S1 erfolgt z. B. mittels des Einzugwerks 23.In the course of the paper web 03 from the roll changer 02 to behind the last printing unit 08 of the four-high tower 01, seen in the paper running direction, there are stresses S1; S2; S3; S4; S5 before. Before the eight-tower 01 is the voltage S1, z. B. S1 between 30 and 50 daN / m, between the printing units 04 and 06, the voltage S2, between the first H-pressure unit 09 and the second H-pressure unit 11, the voltage S3, between the pressure units 07 and 08, the voltage S2 and after the last printing unit 06, the voltage S5, z. B. S5 between 10 and 20 daN / m, in particular 12-15 daN / m. The exact levels and the exact differences, however, depend on the water sensitivity of the paper used. The significantly higher level of voltage S1 compared to S5 is essential. A regulation of the voltage S1 is z. B. by means of the infeed 23rd

Während des Durchlaufens durch den Achterturm 01 ändert die Papierbahn 03 aufgrund von Feuchte (Farbe, ggf. Feuchtmittel) seine Spannungs-Dehnungscharakteristik. Vorteilhafter Weise werden die Spannungsniveaus vor und nach dem Achterturm 01 so gewählt werden, dass eine Dehnung vor und nach dem Achterturm 01 in etwa gleich ist. Die Spannung S1 liegt i. d. R. höher als die Spannung S5.During the passage through the four-high tower 01, the paper web 03 changes its stress-strain characteristic due to moisture (color, possibly dampening solution). Advantageously, the voltage levels before and after the four-tower 01 will be selected such that an elongation before and after the four-tower 01 is approximately the same. The voltage S1 is usually higher than the voltage S5.

Erfolgt nun während stationärer Produktionsbedingungen ein Wechsel einer Rolle im Rollenwechsler 02, insbesondere ein fliegender Wechsel mittels Klebung, so läuft eine Klebestelle mit der Papierbahn 03 vom Rollenwechsler 02 durch den Achterturm 01. Die Klebestelle weist z. B. einen Bereich auf, welcher zwei Lagen der Papierbahn 03 und eine Klebeschicht, z. B. einen Klebestreifen, beinhaltet. Eine sog. Klebefahne, d.h. ein Bereich zweilagigen Papiers, kann weit über die Breite der Klebestelle hinausgehen. Die Papierbahn 03 weist somit einen Bereich 24 mit einer größeren Dicke auf, welcher sich durch die Druckmaschine bewegt.If, during stationary production conditions, a change of a roll in the roll changer 02, in particular a flying change by means of gluing, then runs a splice with the paper web 03 from the roll changer 02 through the four-high tower 01. The splice has z. B. an area which two layers of the paper web 03 and an adhesive layer, for. As an adhesive strip includes. A so-called adhesive flag, i. a range of two-ply paper, can go well beyond the width of the bond. The paper web 03 thus has a region 24 with a greater thickness, which moves through the printing press.

Durchläuft nun der Bereich 24 größerer Dicke eine Druckeinheit 04; 06; 07; 08, so wird aufgrund der erhöhten Dicke und des festen Achsabstandes der zusammen wirkenden Zylinder 13; 14 eine elastische Auflage auf den Zylindern 13; 14, z. B. Gummitücher, leicht zusammengedrückt. Bei gleichbleibender Winkelgeschwindigkeit verringert sich die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Zylinder 13; 14. Z. B. liegt in der Druckeinheit 07 noch die höhere Umfangsgeschwindigkeit vor, während gleichzeitig beim Durchlaufen des Bereichs 24 die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit in der Druckeinheit 06 erniedrigt ist. Zwischen den Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07; 08 und nach dem Achterturm 01 erhöht sich somit sprunghaft das Niveau der Spannungen S2; S3; S4, S5 (Fig. 2 für die Spannung S5).Now the area 24 of greater thickness passes through a printing unit 04; 06; 07; 08, so due to the increased thickness and the fixed center distance of the cooperating cylinder 13; 14 an elastic support on the cylinders 13; 14, z. B. blankets, slightly compressed. At constant angular velocity, the peripheral speed of the cylinder 13 is reduced; 14. For example, the higher peripheral speed is still present in the printing unit 07, while at the same time the peripheral speed in the printing unit 06 is lowered when passing through the region 24. Between the printing units 04; 06; 07; 08 and after the four-tower 01 thus increases the level of the voltages S2 abruptly; S3; S4, S5 (Fig. 2 for the voltage S5).

Mit dem erhöhte Niveau in den Spannungen S2; S3; S4; S5 geht ein erhöhtes Niveau für die Dehnung der Papierbahn 03 einher und verursacht somit zwischen den einzelnen Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07; 08 einen Versatz ΔP in Umfangsrichtung, einen sog. Passerversatz ΔP im Umfangsregister.With the increased level in the voltages S2; S3; S4; S5 is accompanied by an increased level for the stretching of the paper web 03 and thus causes between the individual printing units 04; 06; 07; 08 an offset ΔP in the circumferential direction, a so-called. Passer offset ΔP in the circumferential register.

Die sprunghafte Erhöhung der Spannungen S2; S3; S4; S5, und damit auch der Dehnung, ist abhängig von den ursprünglichen Niveaus der Spannungen S1; S2; S3; S4; S5, insbesondere einer Differenz zwischen S1 und S5, und von der Länge des Klebeschwanzes, d. h. von der Länge des Bereichs 24 größerer Dicke. Letzteres insbesondere bei gestaggerten Zylindern, d. h. mehrere Kanäle auf einer Mantelfläche des Zylinders sind in axialer Richtung nebeneinander, jedoch in Umfangsrichtung zueinander versetzt angeordnet. Ist in diesem Fall die Länge des Klebeschwanzes größer oder gleich dem Abstand der Kanäle in Umfangsrichtung, so kann eine Teilentlastung erfolgen.The sudden increase of the voltages S2; S3; S4; S5, and thus also the strain, is dependent on the original levels of the stresses S1; S2; S3; S4; S5, in particular a difference between S1 and S5, and the length of the adhesive tail, ie the length of the region 24 of greater thickness. The latter, in particular with staggered cylinders, ie several channels on a lateral surface of the cylinder are juxtaposed in the axial direction, but offset from each other in the circumferential direction. In this case, the length of the adhesive tail is greater than or equal to the distance of the channels in the circumferential direction, so a partial relief can take place.

Mittels einer Mess- 26 und einer Regeleinrichtung 27 wird die sprunghafte Erhöhung der Spannung S2; S3; S4; S5, insbesondere der Spannung S5 von einem Sollwert S-soll hinter dem Achterturm 01 z. B. um eine Differenz ΔS (Fig. 2) vor und nach dem Durchlaufen des Bereichs 24 ermittelt und weiter verarbeitet.By means of a measuring 26 and a control device 27, the sudden increase of the voltage S2; S3; S4; S5, in particular the voltage S5 of a target value S-soll behind the four-tower 01 z. B. determined by a difference .DELTA.S (FIG. 2) before and after passing through the area 24 and further processed.

Anhand dieser Differenz ΔS wird eine Korrekturgröße K gebildet, und der aufgetretene Passerversatz ΔP zwischen zwei Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07; 08 oder zwischen zwei H-Druckeinheiten 09; 11 korrigiert. Dieser Ausgleich erfolgt i. d. R durch eine relative Änderung Δφ einer Winkellage φ, z. B. der Drehwinkellage φ, der betrachteten H-Druckeinheiten 09; 11 oder der Zylinder 12; 13, 14; 16 der betrachteten Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07; 08 zueinander.On the basis of this difference ΔS, a correction quantity K is formed, and the occurred register offset ΔP between two printing units 04; 06; 07; 08 or between two H-pressure units 09; 11 corrected. This compensation is made i. d. R by a relative change Δφ an angular position φ, z. B. the angular position φ, the considered H-pressure units 09; 11 or the cylinder 12; 13, 14; 16 of the considered printing units 04; 06; 07; 08 to each other.

Im Beispiel wird die Spannung S5 mittels einer Messeinrichtung 26, z. B. eines Sensors 26 wie z. B. einer Messwalze 26, nach dem Achterturm 01, hier im Anschluß an eine Fangwalze 28, ermittelt und an die Regeleinrichtung 27, einen Rechner 27 oder an den Leitstandsrechner 27 gegeben. Aus der Differenz ΔS ermittelt die Regeleinrichtung 27 oder der Rechner 27 die mittlere Korrekturgröße K zwischen der unteren H-Druckeinheit 09 und der oberen H-Druckeinheit 11. Die Drehwinkellage φ der unteren H-Druckeinheit 09, insbesondere die der Formzylinder 12; 16 der Druckeinheiten 04 und 06, wird nun um einen entsprechende Änderung Δφ im Drehwinkel φ relativ zur unteren H-Druckeinheit 09, insbesondere deren Formzylinder 12; 16, verdreht und somit der aufgetretene Passerversatz ΔP korrigiert. Da im Beispiel keine Spannungsregelung mittels der Zugwalze 22 bzw. einer anderen Vorrichtung, wie z. B. einer Tänzerwalze, hinter der letzten Druckeinheit 08 bis einschließlich zur Zugwalze 22 erfolgt, fällt die Spannung S5 mit weiterem Transport der Papierbahn 03 durch die Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07; 08 langsam ab. Während des Abfallens wird nun das Umfangsregister mittels der Korrekturgröße K entsprechend der sich ändernden Differenz ΔS zwischen S5 und S-soll in die entgegengesetzte Richtung nachgeregelt (Fig. 3). Dies erfolgt vorteilhafter Weise nicht kontinuierlich sondern in geeigneten Intervallen.In the example, the voltage S5 by means of a measuring device 26, z. B. a sensor 26 such. B. a measuring roller 26, after the four-tower 01, here following a catch roller 28, determined and given to the controller 27, a computer 27 or to the control computer 27. From the difference .DELTA.S determines the controller 27 or the calculator 27, the average correction quantity K between the lower H-pressure unit 09 and the upper H-pressure unit 11. The angular position φ of the lower H-pressure unit 09, in particular that of the forme cylinder 12; 16 of the printing units 04 and 06, is now by a corresponding change Δφ in the rotation angle φ relative to the lower H-pressure unit 09, in particular the forme cylinder 12; 16, twisted and thus the occurred Passerversatz ΔP corrected. As in the example, no voltage control means of the draw roller 22 and another device such. B. a dancer roller, takes place behind the last printing unit 08 up to and including the tension roller 22, the voltage S5 falls with further transport of the paper web 03 by the printing units 04; 06; 07; 08 slowly. During the fall, the circumferential register is now readjusted in the opposite direction by means of the correction quantity K in accordance with the changing difference ΔS between S5 and S-soll (FIG. 3). This is done advantageously not continuously but at suitable intervals.

Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel für den Achterturm 01 wird keine Korrektur zwischen den beiden benachbarten, der selben H-Druckeinheit 09; 11 zugeordneten Druckeinheiten 04; 06 bzw. 07; 08 vorgenommen, sondern lediglich eine relative Drehwinkellage φ zwischen der unteren und oberen H-Druckeinheit 09; 11 als Änderung Δφ der Drehwinkellage φ berücksichtigt. Hierbei werden je Druckeinheit 04; 06, mindestens jeweils ein, bei Doppeldruckwerken 04; 06 mindestens zwei, Zylinder 12; 13; 14; 16, vorteilhafter Weise jeweils die Formzylinder 12; 16 in ihrer relativen Drehwinkellage φ verändert. Die Abweichung zwischen den einer einzigen H-Druckeinheit 09; 11 zugeordneten Druckeinheiten 04; 06 bzw. 07; 08 liegt, insbesondere für den Zeitungsdruck, innerhalb der zulässigen Toleranzen für die Abweichung im Passer.In the present embodiment for the four-high tower 01 is no correction between the two adjacent, the same H-pressure unit 09; 11 associated printing units 04; 06 or 07; 08 made, but only a relative angular position φ between the lower and upper H-pressure unit 09; 11 considered as a change Δφ the rotational angle position φ. Here, each printing unit 04; 06, at least one each, with double printing units 04; 06 at least two, cylinder 12; 13; 14; 16, advantageously each of the forme cylinder 12; 16 changed in their relative angular position φ. The deviation between the one H-pressure unit 09; 11 associated printing units 04; 06 or 07; 08 is, in particular for the newspaper printing, within the permissible tolerances for the deviation in the register.

Allgemein ist die beschriebene Regelung des Umfangsregisters vorteilhaft für mindestens drei nacheinander angeordnete Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07; 08, wobei ein Abstand a1 (z. B. 0,4 m bis 1 m) zwischen den beiden ersten Klemmstellen 04; 06 deutlich kleiner ist als ein nachfolgender Abstand a2 (z. B. >1 m) zu einer dritten Klemmstelle 07. Der Achterturm 01 aus zwei H-Druckeinheiten 09; 11 ist hierfür ein Beispiel. Insbesondere auf dem Weg zwischen den in kurzem Abstand a1 aufeinander folgenden ersten beiden Druckeinheiten 04; 06 ist ein Feuchteeinfluss, und somit ein spannungsbedingter Passerversatz ΔP gering, so dass die Regelung für die beiden ersten Druckeinheiten 04; 06 in gleicher Weise relativ zu den oberen Druckeinheiten 07; 08, und nicht zusätzlich relativ zueinander, erfolgen kann. Zwischen den beiden Druckeinheiten 07; 08 der oberen H-Druckeinheit 11 folgt wieder ein kürzerer Abstand a3 (z. B. 0,4 m bis 1 m). Eine relative Änderung erfolgt lediglich an Druckeinheiten 04; 06 mit einem großen Abstand a2 zu einer nachfolgenden Druckeinheit 07.In general, the described regulation of the circumferential register is advantageous for at least three successively arranged printing units 04; 06; 07; 08, wherein a distance a1 (eg 0.4 m to 1 m) between the two first clamping points 04; 06 is significantly smaller than a subsequent distance a2 (eg> 1 m) to a third nip 07. The four-high tower 01 from two H-pressure units 09; 11 is an example for this. In particular, on the way between the short distance a1 successive first two printing units 04; 06 is a moisture influence, and thus a voltage-induced register offset ΔP low, so that the control for the first two pressure units 04; 06 in the same way relative to the upper pressure units 07; 08, and not in addition to each other, can be done. Between the two printing units 07; 08 of the upper H-printing unit 11 is again followed by a shorter distance a3 (eg 0.4 m to 1 m). A relative change takes place only on printing units 04; 06 with a long distance a2 to one subsequent printing unit 07.

Die Regelung der Korrektur des Passerversatzes ΔP mittels der Korrekturgröße K in Abhängigkeit von der Differenz ΔS aus der zunächst spontan ansteigenden und in der folge abfallenden Änderung der Spannung S5 um eine Differenz ΔS erfolgt vorzugsweise als Proportionalregelung, wobei zwischen der Differenz ΔS der Spannung S5 und der Korrekturgröße K vorteilhafter Weise ein linearer Zusammenhang hergestellt wird. Die Regeleinrichtung 27 ist in vorteilhafter Ausführung als Proportionalregler 27 ausgeführt.The regulation of the correction of the register offset .DELTA.P by means of the correction quantity K as a function of the difference .DELTA.S from the initially spontaneously increasing and subsequently decreasing change of the voltage S5 by a difference .DELTA.S is preferably carried out as a proportional control, wherein between the difference .DELTA.S of the voltage S5 and the Correction K advantageously a linear relationship is established. The control device 27 is designed as a proportional controller 27 in an advantageous embodiment.

Die Korrekturgröße K genügt (im hier zu betrachtenden Bereich der Spannungen S56ΔS) in einer vorteilhaften Ausführung annähernd der Gleichung K = a * ΔS, wobei a die Steigung darstellt und kein konstantes Glied zu berücksichtigen ist. Die Steigung a liegt für die Regelung der unteren H-Druckeinheit 09 gegenüber der oberen H-Druckeinheit 09 für den betrachteten Achterturm 01 zwischen 1 /(35 daN/m/mm) und 1 / (45 daN/m/mm), insbesondere bei ca. 1/(40 daN/m/mm), wenn die Differenz ΔS der Spannung S5 in daN/m und die Korrekturgröße K des Passerversatz ΔP auf dem Umfang des Zylinders 12; 13; 14, 16 in mm gemessen sind.The correction quantity K satisfies (in the range of the voltages S56ΔS to be considered here) in an advantageous embodiment approximately the equation K = a * ΔS, where a represents the slope and no constant element has to be taken into account. The pitch a is for the regulation of the lower H-pressure unit 09 relative to the upper H-pressure unit 09 for the considered four-tower 01 between 1 / (35 daN / m / mm) and 1 / (45 daN / m / mm), in particular at about 1 / (40 daN / m / mm) when the difference ΔS of the voltage S5 in daN / m and the correction amount K of the registration error ΔP on the circumference of the cylinder 12; 13; 14, 16 are measured in mm.

Beträgt beispielsweise für einen Zylinderdurchmesser von ca. 230 mm eine gemessene Differenz ΔS der Spannung S5 10 daN/m, so wird die Drehwinkellage φ für die untere H-Druckeinheit 09 relativ zur oberen H-Druckeinheit 11 derart korrigiert, dass ein Versatz am Umfang der veränderten Zylinder 12; 13; 14; 16 um ca. 0,25 mm erfolgt. Die Änderung Δφ der Drehwinkellage ist proportional zum Korrekturwert K und zum Passerversatz ΔP. Somit steht die Änderung Δφ der Drehwinkellage über eine den Umfang des jeweiligen Zylinders (12; 13; 14; 16) berücksichtigende Konstante c ebenfalls im linearen Zusammenhang zur Differenz ΔS, also gilt für die Wert der Änderung der relativen Drehwinkellage Δφ = a *c* ΔS. Die relative Änderung Δφ beträgt somit beispielsweise für obigen Zylinder in etwa 0,12° - 0,13°. Anstelle der Änderung Δφ der Drehwinkellage kann für eine bestimmte Zeit auch eine Änderung der Winkelgeschwindigkeit Δφ erfolgen.For example, if for a cylinder diameter of about 230 mm, a measured difference .DELTA.S of the voltage S5 10 daN / m, the rotational angular position φ for the lower H-pressure unit 09 is corrected relative to the upper H-pressure unit 11 such that an offset on the circumference of modified cylinder 12; 13; 14; 16 by about 0.25 mm. The change Δφ in the rotational angle position is proportional to the correction value K and the register offset ΔP. Thus, the change Δφ of the rotational angle position over a circumference of the respective cylinder (12; 13; 14; 16) is also linearly related to the difference ΔS, that is to say the value of the change in the relative angular position Δφ = a * c * .DELTA.S. The relative change Δφ is thus for example for the above cylinder in about 0.12 ° - 0.13 °. Instead of the change Δφ of the angular position can for a certain time, a change in the angular velocity Δφ done.

Für verschiedene Qualitäten der Papierbahn 03 liegt eine verschiedene Abhängigkeit der zu berücksichtigenden Korrektur vor, so dass vorzugsweise eine Qualitätsgröße Q oder auch eine Qalitätsfunktion Q für die Berücksichtigung der vorliegenden Sorte der Papierbahn 03 (Feuchteverhalten und/oder Spannungs-Dehnungscharakteristik etc.) der genannten Abhängigkeit zu überlagern ist. Die gewünschte Korrektur um die Korrekturgröße K bzw. die Änderung Δφ der Drehwinkellage φ oder der Winkelgeschwindigkeit Δφ ist somit eine Funktion der Spannung S5 bzw. der Differenz ΔS, des Umfangs des zu korrigierenden Zylinders 12; 13; 14; 16 und der Qualitätsgröße Q.For different qualities of the paper web 03, there is a different dependency of the correction to be taken into account, so that preferably a quality variable Q or a quality function Q for taking into account the present grade of the paper web 03 (moisture behavior and / or stress-strain characteristic, etc.) of said dependence to be superimposed. The desired correction by the correction quantity K or the change Δφ in the rotational angle position φ or the angular velocity Δφ is thus a function of the voltage S5 or the difference ΔS of the circumference of the cylinder 12 to be corrected; 13; 14; 16 and the quality size Q.

Die Korrektur des Passerversatzes ΔP erfolgt in bevorzugter Ausführungsform lediglich mittels der Registerverstellung. Eine Spannungsregelung im Bereich der Spannung S5 hinter der letzen Druckeinheit 08 erfolgt in diesem Zusammenhang nicht. Die Zugwalze 22 ist in bevorzugter Ausführung als bzgl. ihrer Drehzahl gesteuerte Zugwalze 22 ausgeführt, auf die weder Spannungswerte, noch Drehmomentwerte zurückgeführt werden müssen. Die gemessene Spannung S5 wird vorteilhafter Weise zur Regelung der Spannung S1 herangezogen (in Fig. 1 strichliert dargestellt), um der Forderung nach der o. g. Bedingung einer größeren Spannung S1 im Vergleich zu S5 gerecht zu werden.The correction of the register offset .DELTA.P is carried out in a preferred embodiment only by means of register adjustment. A voltage regulation in the range of the voltage S5 behind the last printing unit 08 does not take place in this context. In a preferred embodiment, the tension roller 22 is designed as a tension roller 22 which is controlled with respect to its rotational speed and to which neither tension values nor torque values have to be traced. The measured voltage S5 is advantageously used to control the voltage S1 (shown by dashed lines in FIG. 1) in order to meet the requirement of the above-mentioned. Condition of a larger voltage S1 compared to S5 meet.

insbesondere geeignet ist das Verfahren und eine entsprechende Vorrichtung zur Regelung des Umfangsregisters für die Korrektur des Passerversatzes ΔP, welche während des stationären Druckbetriebes als kurzfristige Störungen, beispielsweise aufgrund des fliegenden Wechsels von Papierrollen gleicher Qualität auftreten. Nach dieser Störung liegen i. d. R. wieder stationäre Bedingungen und eine gleiche Papierqualität vor.Particularly suitable is the method and a corresponding device for controlling the circumferential register for the correction of the registration offset ΔP, which occur during the stationary printing operation as short-term disturbances, for example due to the flying change of paper rolls of the same quality. After this disorder, stationary conditions and the same paper quality are usually present again.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform weist jeder der Zylinder 12; 13; 14; 16 jeder Druckeinheit einen eigenen Antriebsmotor 17; 18; 19; 20 auf. Für die genannte Korrektur des Passerversatzes ΔP werden dann jedoch alle Antriebsmotoren 17; 18 eine der beiden Druckeinheit 04; 06 bzw. alle Antriebsmotoren 17; 18 der beiden unteren Druckeinheiten 04; 06 gleichzeitig um den selben Wert korrigiert. Für einen jeweils paarweisen Antrieb jeweils eines Formzylinders 12; 16 mit dem zugeordneten Übertragungszylinder 13; 14 ist das genannte entsprechend anzuwenden.In an advantageous embodiment, each of the cylinders 12; 13; 14; 16 each printing unit a separate drive motor 17; 18; 19; 20 on. For the said correction of the registration offset ΔP, however, all the drive motors 17; 18 one of the two printing unit 04; 06 or all drive motors 17; 18 of the two lower pressure units 04; 06 corrected by the same value at the same time. For a pairwise drive each of a form cylinder 12; 16 with the associated transfer cylinder 13; 14, the same applies mutatis mutandis.

Das Verfahren zur Regelung des Umfangsregisters ist auch für andere Konfiguration der Druckmaschine als dem Achterturm 01 mit mindestens zwei Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07; 08 geeignet, wenn diese mehrere voneinander in Laufrichtung der Papierbahn 03 voneinander beabstandete Klemmstellen 04; 06; 07; 08 bzw. Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07; 08 oder auch Druckstellen 04; 06; 07; 08 aufweist.The method for controlling the circumferential register is also for other configuration of the printing press than the four-high tower 01 with at least two printing units 04; 06; 07; 08 suitable if these several spaced apart in the direction of the web 03 from each other clamping points 04; 06; 07; 08 or printing units 04; 06; 07; 08 or also pressure points 04; 06; 07; 08 has.

Dies kann beispielsweise eine Druckmaschine sein, welche mehrere aufeinander angeordnete Brückendruckeinheiten oder mehrere nebeneinander angeordnete stehende Gummi-gegen-Gummi-Druckeinheiten mit horizontaler Führung der Papierbahn 03 sein. Ebenso kann für alle genannten Beispiele der jeweilige erste Übertragungszylinder 13 auch mit einem als Stahlzylinder 14 ausgeführten Gegendruckzylinder 14 zusammen wirken. Auch hier wird nach der letzten Druckeinheit 08 die Spannung S5 gemessen, und die vor der letzten Druckeinheit 08 angeordneten Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07 mittels der Differenz ΔS bzw. der Spannung S5 geregelt. Dies kann wieder gruppenweise mit mehreren aufeinander folgenden Druckeinheiten 04; 06 oder auch jeweils mit einzelnen Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07 geschehen. Die Druckeinheiten 04; 06; 07 werden grundsätzlich gegen die nicht geänderte letzte Druckeinheit 08 geregelt. Zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Druckeinheit 04; 06 muß in der Regel aufgrund der noch nicht vollständig erfolgten Durchfeuchtung keine relative Änderung erfolgen.This can be, for example, a printing machine which is a plurality of bridge printing units arranged on top of each other or a plurality of juxtaposed standing rubber-against-rubber printing units with horizontal guidance of the paper web 03. Likewise, for each of the examples mentioned, the respective first transfer cylinder 13 can also interact with a counter-pressure cylinder 14 designed as a steel cylinder 14. Again, after the last printing unit 08, the voltage S5 is measured, and arranged before the last printing unit 08 printing units 04; 06; 07 regulated by the difference .DELTA.S and the voltage S5. This can again in groups with several consecutive printing units 04; 06 or also each with individual printing units 04; 06; 07 happened. The printing units 04; 06; 07 are in principle regulated against the unmodified last printing unit 08. Between the first and second printing units 04; As a rule, no relative change has to be made because of the not yet complete moisture penetration.

Neben dem Passer bzw. Farbregister, d. h. der exakten relativen Position zweier nacheinander auf die gleiche Seite der Bahn 03 aufgedruckter Druckbilder, i. d. R. verschiedener Farben, ist das Verfahrens in einer nicht dargestellten Ausführungsform in gleicher Weise auch geeignet, das Register zwischen den beiden nacheinander bedruckten Seiten der Bahn 03 zu regeln. Dies ist beispielsweise für die Anordnung von zwei, jeweils eine oder mehrere Druckstellen aufweisende Satelliten-Druckeinheiten 09; 11 von Vorteil. Die Satelliten-Druckeinheiten 09; 11, z. B. als sog. Neunzylinder-Satellit oder Zehnzylinder-Satellit ausgeführt, werden von der Bahn 03 nacheinander durchlaufen, wobei in einer der Druckeinheiten 09; 11 die eine Seite der Bahn 03, und anschließend in der anderen Druckeinheit 11; 09 die andere Seite der Bahn 03 ein oder mehrfarbig bedruckt wird.In addition to the register or color register, ie the exact relative position of two successively printed on the same side of the web 03 printed images, usually different colors, the method in an embodiment not shown in the same way also suitable to control the register between the two successive printed pages of the web 03. This is for example for the arrangement of two, each one or more pressure points having satellite printing units 09; 11 of advantage. The satellite printing units 09; 11, z. B. run as a so-called. Nine-cylinder satellite or ten-cylinder satellite, are traversed by the train 03 successively, wherein in one of the printing units 09; 11 the one side of the web 03, and then in the other printing unit 11; 09 the other side of the web 03 is printed one or more colors.

Eine Messung und Auswertung der Differenz ΔS in der Spannung S2; S3; S4; S5 kann für gesonderte Anforderungen auch zwischen den einzelnen Klemmstellen 04; 06; 07; 08 erfolgen und eine Veränderung der Drehlage der vorausgehenden Klemmstellen 04; 06; 07; 08 bewirkt werden.A measurement and evaluation of the difference ΔS in the voltage S2; S3; S4; S5 can for separate requirements between the individual terminal points 04; 06; 07; 08 and a change in the rotational position of the preceding terminal points 04; 06; 07; 08 be effected.

Im Fall von größeren Differenzen ΔS innerhalb eines größeren Spannungsbereichs für die Spannungen S2; S3; S4; S5 kann u. U. auch ein nichtlinearer Zusammenhang zwischen der Differenz ΔS und der erforderlichen Korrektur des Passerversatzes ΔP um die Korrekturgröße K zugrunde gelegt werden. Ein entsprechender funktionaler Zusammenhang ist jedoch auch in diesem Fall in einfacher Weise in der Regeleinrichtung 27 berücksichtigbar.In the case of larger differences ΔS within a larger voltage range for the voltages S2; S3; S4; S5 may u. U. also a non-linear relationship between the difference .DELTA.S and the required correction of the registration offset .DELTA.P be applied to the correction quantity K. However, a corresponding functional relationship is also in this case in a simple manner in the control device 27 considered.
