- a self-sufficient pressure module can be connected to the machine base part via the docking station of a printing station.
- Autarkes pressure module means that the pressure module is drive and preferably also control moderately independent of the machine base part, that is, the pressure module has its own pressure module drive and preferably its own pressure module control.
- the printing module can therefore be operated independently of the machine base part.
- the printing stations designed as docking stations of a linear printing machine or multiple linear printing machines of the same type are identical, that is, they each have the same prepared connection points and / or interfaces. All print modules have mating connection points or counterparts matching the connection points and interfaces, so that each of the print modules in each of the print stations can be connected to the base machine part. Any printing module can thus be connected to the printing machine base part in a linear printing machine either in the first printing station, in the second printing station or in any other printing station.
- the printing modules can be placed on rails, for example by means of a forklift or a overhead crane, on which they can then be moved up to the machine base part and securely locked in the production position.

- the individual controllers of the printing modules which can be connected to each other, for example, after docking in the printing station via interfaces with a data bus, together can form a decentralized controller for the printing process, which alone controls the printing process.
- the printing modules are different printing units with which the hollow bodies can be printed either with screen printing, flexographic printing, offset printing, cold stamping, hot stamping, laser color transfer or with inkjet.
- Each of these different printing modules can be used in each of the printing stations. That is, at n printing stations images can be printed on the hollow body with a maximum of n different printing processes. Only the production process decides on which printing station of the linear printing machine which printing module is used.
- a printing module designed as a flexographic printing unit can be used in a production process at the first printing station; in another production process, a printing module formed by an offset printing unit can be used at precisely this point.
- each print station can receive every print module, no matter which process it prints.
- the linear printing machine has a positioning system which ensures that the hollow bodies are transported as accurately as possible to the printing stations and from printing station to printing station.
- a mandrel which carries the hollow body to be printed have a position mark, which must have a certain position when the hollow body enters the first printing station. Keeping this position can be detected, for example via suitable sensors and monitored by the machine control. Since the mandrels are preferably rotationally driven, the machine control can determine the deviation before the start of printing when determining a deviation between the actual position and desired position of the dome by controlling the mandrel drive. But each mandrel must have a single drive and can be individually accelerated or decelerated via the machine control. The comparison between the setpoint and the actual position can be repeated each time when moving into a printing station.
- the deviation detected by the machine controller can be sent via the machine controller to the module controller of the affected print module, so that the module controller can delay the starting of the printing unit of the printing module, for example.
- the position of the hollow body itself can be monitored, which is advantageous because misprints can be avoided due to a hollow body slipped on the mandrel during the printing process in the direction of rotation.
- This monitoring of the register position can be achieved by a marking on the hollow body, which is detected by means of a signal belonging to the machine base and signal-connected with the machine control sensor.
- the sensor sends a signal to the machine control system, which calculates actual position data for the hollow body from the signal by means of an algorithm and compares these with target position data stored in, for example, a memory in the machine control. If the machine control determines a deviation between the nominal position and the actual position, a corresponding correction signal can be sent to the module control.
- each printing module can have a sensor, with which the register-accurate position of the hollow body to be printed can preferably be controlled before the start of printing. If this sensor detects a deviation, for example, it sends a signal to the module control. The received signal is processed in the module controller and the module controller then initiates the correction directly or via the machine control.
- the driven or free to rotate about its axis of rotation mandrels are mounted in a connected to the transport unit or formed by the transport unit mandrel storage. If the mandrels are driven, then they can be connected to a drive, for example via an externally toothed spur foot, via a gear. Everybody can do that Dorn driven individually, or the mandrels are combined in groups with a common drive or all mandrels are driven together by a single drive.
- the drive can be transmitted in this case by means of toothed belts or chains from the drive motor to the individual mandrel.
- two, three or more Druckdornlageriers be combined into one unit to accommodate a corresponding number of pressure mandrels can.
- Such a composite of Druckdornlagerungen can be used as a car z. B. be driven by a linear motor or by means of a screw, such as in the EP 0 909 728 A1 whose teaching concerning the propelling of a slide, in the case of the present invention of a carriage with one, two, three or more thrust mandrel bearings, is incorporated in this application.
- the transport unit is preferably formed as an endless belt or endless chain, with a linear transport path section in the region of the printing stations.
- the endless belt or the endless chain between two spaced-mounted rollers can be stretched, wherein at least one of the two rollers is driven by a motor.
- the two rolls preferably have the same diameter, so that the transport path as a whole can be described as follows: two parallel straight lines, which are connected at their two ends, each with a semicircular curve with an identical diameter.
- the rollers may also have different diameters and / or at least the linear transport path section having the printing stations may be divided into two legs by a third roller, for example a non-driven deflection roller then be articulated triangular transport path.
- the hollow body on the transport unit clocked by the linear printing machine out.
- the cycle time corresponds to the longest printing time of a hollow body by a printing module plus the travel time from one printing station to the next, the feed. Since different printing processes can require different printing times, and not all printing processes are used in every production, the cycle time can be adapted to the respective production; it is adjustable in this sense.
- the linear printing machine comprises at least one drying station, which preferably lies in the transport direction of the hollow body after the last printing station.
- a drying station can also be arranged between each two printing stations, so that drying takes place immediately after each printing operation by means of a printing module.
- each mandrel is assigned a respective drying station, which can form a structural unit with the mandrel, for example, and is fastened together with the mandrel on the transport device.
- a drying device is mounted on the side of the dome, which is opposite to the printing gap formed between a hollow body and a printing unit.
- the drying station can also be an integral part of the printing module and be mounted together with the printing module to the machine base part or dismantled by this.
- the drying stations have radiation sources for drying the paint on the hollow bodies, for example sources for UV radiation, LEDs or E-projectors for emitting electron beams.
- both drying stations may have the same radiation sources, or each of the drying station depending on a different radiation source. If different radiation sources are advantageous for the effective drying of different printing processes, then the / each drying station can have a plurality of different radiation sources, which can be activated as required.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lineardruckmaschine, bevorzugt eine Rotationsdruckmaschine zum Bedrucken von Hohlkörpern die von Spindeln gehalten werden, wobei die Hohlkörper nacheinander einer ersten und einer zweiten Druckstation zugeführt, und in der ersten Druckstation mit einem ersten Druckverfahren mit einem ersten Druckbild und in der zweiten Druckstation mit einem zweiten Druckverfahren mit einem zweiten Druckbild bedruckt werden, wobei es sich bei dem ersten und dem zweiten Druckverfahren um das gleiche, beispielsweise Siebdruck, oder um unterschiedliche, beispielsweise Siebdruck und Offsetdruck, Druckverfahren handeln kann.The invention relates to a linear printing machine, preferably a rotary printing machine for printing hollow bodies which are held by spindles, wherein the hollow body successively fed to a first and a second printing station, and in the first printing station with a first printing process with a first printed image and in the second printing station a second printing method can be printed with a second printed image, wherein the first and the second printing method can be the same, for example screen printing, or different, for example screen printing and offset printing, printing methods.
Beim Bedrucken von Hohlkörpern ist in vielen Fällen der Offsetdruck das bevorzugte, weil das rationellste Verfahren. Dies gilt insbesondere beim Druck auf einen weißen Untergrund. Da sich mittels des Offsetdrucks nur relativ geringe Farbschichtdicken auf den Hohlkörper aufbringen lassen, eignet er sich dagegen weniger zum Bedrucken von aus transparentem Material bestehenden Hohlkörper, da die hierbei erzeugten dünnen Farbschichten blass und durchscheinend wirken. Für diese Fälle gibt es daher Lösungen, bei denen das Flachdrucksiebverfahren zum Bedrucken der transparenten Hohlkörper eingesetzt wird. Speziell beim Bedrucken von Hohlkörpern mit großen Durchmessern werden aber Flachsiebe mit großen Abmessungen erforderlich, was zu einem sehr voluminösen Maschinenaufbau führt und relativ große Taktzeiten mit entsprechend geringer Druckgeschwindigkeit zur Folge hat.When printing on hollow bodies, in many cases offset printing is the preferred method because it is the most rational process. This is especially true when printing on a white background. Since only relatively small ink layer thicknesses can be applied to the hollow body by means of offset printing, it is, on the other hand, less suitable for printing on hollow bodies made of transparent material, since the thin color layers produced here appear pale and translucent. For these cases, there are therefore solutions in which the Flachdrucksiebverfahren is used for printing the transparent hollow body. Especially when printing hollow bodies with large diameters but flat screens are required with large dimensions, resulting in a very bulky machine structure and relatively large cycle times with correspondingly low printing speed result.
Im Stand der Technik sind Druckmaschinen bekannt, bei denen Hohlkörper nacheinander mit Druckbildern versehen werden. Im den meisten Fällen sind diese Hohlkörper auf einem Drehteller angeordnet, um den herum satellitenförmig die Druckwerke positioniert sind. Der Drehteller führt die, meist auf einer Spindel gehaltenen Hohlkörper bei seiner Rotation von einem Druckwerk zum nächsten, so dass die Hohlkörper nacheinander in den verschiedenen Druckwerken bedruckt werden können.Printing presses are known in the prior art in which hollow bodies are successively provided with printed images. In most cases, these hollow bodies are arranged on a turntable, around which the printing units are positioned in satellite form. The turntable leads, usually held on a spindle hollow body in its rotation from one printing unit to the next, so that the hollow body can be successively printed in the various printing units.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfüllt mit einer Lineardruckmaschine zum Bedrucken von Hohlkörpern gemäß Anspruch 1.This object is achieved with a linear printing machine for printing hollow bodies according to
Dabei handelt es sich um eine Lineardruckmaschine mit austauschbaren Druckmodulen zum Bedrucken von Hohlkörpern, die eine Transporteinrichtung mit einem Antrieb aufweist, mit der die zu bedruckenden Hohlkörper durch die Lineardruckmaschine transportiert werden, und weiterhin zumindest eine erste Druckstation und eine in Förderrichtung der Hohlkörper nach der ersten Druckstation angeordnete zweite Druckstation, zumindest eine Trocknungsstation, zum Trocknen der Farbe auf den bedruckten Hohlkörpern, und eine Maschinensteuerung, die zum Beispiel als Zentralsteuerung den Transport der Hohlkörper durch die Lineardruckmaschine und die Aktivitäten der Druckstationen steuert, aufweist, wobei jede der Druckstationen vorbereitet ist ein Druckmodul mit einem eigenen Antrieb aufzunehmen, wobei die Druckmodule die Hohlkörper mit einem Druckverfahren aus Siebdruck und/oder Flexodruck und/oder Offsetdruck und/oder Kaltprägen und/oder Heißprägen und/oder Lasercolortransfer und/oder Inkjet bedrucken. Dabei kann das erste Druckmodul den Hohlkörper in der ersten und zweiten Druckstation mit einem gleichen Druckverfahren, z.B. Siebdruck, bedrucken oder das erste Druckmodul kann den Hohlkörper mit einem ersten Druckverfahren, z.B. Siebdruck, und das zweite Druckmodul den Hohlkörper mit einem zweiten zum ersten Druckverfahren unterschiedlichen Druckverfahren, z.B. Offsetdruck, bedrucken.It is a linear printing machine with interchangeable printing modules for printing on hollow bodies, which has a transport device with a drive, with which the hollow body to be printed are transported by the linear printing machine, and further at least a first printing station and in the conveying direction of the hollow body after the first Printing station arranged second printing station, at least one drying station for drying the ink on the printed hollow bodies, and a machine control, which controls, for example, as a central control the transport of the hollow body by the linear printing machine and the activities of the printing stations, wherein each of the printing stations is prepared Receive printing module with its own drive, the printing modules, the hollow body with a printing process of screen printing and / or flexographic and / or offset printing and / or cold stamping and / or hot stamping and / or Lasercolortransfer and / or inkjet b edrucken.

Jedes Druckmodul kann eine eigene Steuerung oder Modulsteuerung aufweisen. Bei diesen Modulsteuerungen kann es sich um rein lokale Steuerungen handeln, das heißt, die Modulsteuerung steuert nur die Aktivitäten des jeweiligen Moduls, während die Maschinensteuerung die Koordination der einzelnen Druckstationen, das Einlegen und das Ausnehmen der Hohlkörper in/aus der Lineardruckmaschine steuert.Each print module may have its own controller or module controller. These module controls may be purely local controls, that is, the module controller controls only the activities of the respective module, while the machine controller controls the coordination of the individual printing stations, the loading and unloading of the hollow bodies in / from the linear printing machine.
Die Modulsteuerungen können aber auch über eine in jeder der Druckstationen bereitgestellte Schnittstelle mit der Maschinensteuerung und/oder untereinander verbindbar sein. Sie können in diesem Fall in die Maschinensteuerung als Untersteuerung eingebunden werden und Signale von der Maschinensteuerung empfangen und/oder an diese senden. Weniger bevorzugt kann die bzw. jeder der Modulsteuerung aber auch so ausgebildet sein, dass sie im angedockten Zustand die Zentralsteuerung bildet und die Maschinensteuerung als untergeordnete Steuerung mit einbindet oder diese ganz ersetzt. Sind in diesem Fall mehrere Druckmodule in den Druckstationen angedockt, kann beispielsweise eine der Modulsteuerungen als Zentralsteuerung fungieren, während die Steuerungen der anderen Druckmodule nicht als Zentralsteuerungen genutzt werden, im Falle eines Defekts in der als Zentralsteuerung gerade genutzten Modulsteuerung aber automatisch eine der anderen Druckstationen bzw. der Modulsteuerung die Aufgabe als Zentralsteuerung übernimmt. Schließlich können auch alle Modulsteuerungen der angedockten Druckmodule gemeinsam mit oder ohne der/die Maschinensteuerung die Zentralsteuerung bilden.However, the module controllers can also be connectable to the machine control and / or to one another via an interface provided in each of the printing stations. In this case, they can be integrated into the machine control as understeer and receive and / or send signals from the machine control. Less preferably, the or each of the module control can also be designed so that it forms the central control in the docked state and integrates the machine control as a subordinate control or completely replaced. Are in this case several printing modules in the Docked pressure stations, for example, one of the module controls can act as a central control, while the controls of the other pressure modules are not used as central controls, in case of a defect in the currently used as a central control module control but automatically one of the other pressure stations or the module control takes over the task as the central control , Finally, all module controls of the docked print modules together with or without the / the machine control can form the central control.
Mit anderen Worten handelt es sich um eine Lineardruckmaschine mit einem zentralen Teil, der im Folgenden als Maschinenbasisteil bezeichnet wird, der eine angetriebene Transporteinrichtung zum Transport von zu bedruckenden Hohlkörpern durch die Lineardruckmaschine aufweist. Zusätzlich kann der zentrale Teil der Lineardruckmaschine weitere Vorrichtungen aufweisen, zum Beispiel eine Vorrichtung zum Bestücken der Transporteinrichtung mit den zu bedruckenden Hohlkörpern und/oder eine Vorrichtung zum Abnehmen der fertig bedruckten Hohlkörper oder eine Lackierstation zum Lackieren der bedruckten Hohlkörper. In Übereinstimmung mit dem modularen Konzept der Lineardruckmaschine können diese Teile ebenfalls als andockbare und abnehmbare Module ausgebildet sein.In other words, it is a linear printing machine with a central part, which is referred to below as the machine base part, which has a driven transport device for transporting to be printed hollow bodies by the linear printing machine. In addition, the central part of the linear printing machine can have further devices, for example a device for loading the transport device with the hollow bodies to be printed and / or a device for removing the finished printed hollow body or a painting station for painting the printed hollow body. In accordance with the modular concept of the linear printing machine, these parts may also be configured as dockable and detachable modules.
Des Weiteren weist die Lineardruckmaschine zumindest zwei Druckstationen auf, die in Förderrichtung der Hohlkörper nacheinander angeordnet sind, so dass die Hohlkörper bei ihrem Transport durch die Lineardruckmaschine durch die erste Druckstation und danach durch die zweite Druckstation transportiert werden. Nach der zweiten Druckstation können weitere Druckstationen angeordnet sein, wobei die Anzahl der Druckstationen durch die Art, wie die zu bedruckenden Hohlkörper bedruckt werden sollen vorgegeben sein kann.Furthermore, the linear printing machine has at least two printing stations, which are arranged one after the other in the conveying direction of the hollow bodies, so that the hollow bodies are transported by the linear printing machine through the first printing station and then through the second printing station. After the second printing station, further printing stations can be arranged, wherein the number of printing stations can be predetermined by the way in which the hollow bodies to be printed are to be printed.
Die Lineardruckmaschine weist weiterhin zumindest eine Trocknungsstation auf, die bevorzugt nach der letzten der Druckstationen vorgesehen ist. Bevorzugt kann auch nach jeder der Druckstationen je eine Trocknungsstation angeordnet sein. Zumindest eines der Druckmodule kann ein Lackiermodul sein, das wie alle anderen Druckmodule an jeder der Druckstationen an die Lineardruckmaschine andockbar ist. So kann das Lackiermodul in der ersten der Druckstationen angedockt sein, um den Hohlkörper beispielsweise zu grundieren, oder nach dem letzten der Druckmodule, um die auf den Hohlkörper aufgetragenen Farben zu fixieren.The linear printing machine furthermore has at least one drying station, which is preferably provided after the last of the printing stations. Preferably, a drying station can also be arranged after each of the printing stations. At least one of the printing modules can be a painting module which, like all other printing modules, can be docked to the linear printing machine at each of the printing stations. Thus, the Lackiermodul can be docked in the first of the printing stations, for example, to prime the hollow body, or after the last of the pressure modules to fix the applied to the hollow body colors.
Der Maschinenbasisteil der Lineardruckmaschine weist eine Maschinensteuerung auf, die zumindest den Transport der Hohlkörper durch die Lineardruckmaschine steuert. Darüber hinaus kann die Maschinensteuerung auch das Bestücken der Lineardruckmaschine, den oder die Trocknungsprozess/e und/oder den Lackierprozess und/oder die Entnahme der bedruckten Hohlkörper aus der Lineardruckmaschine steuern und den Druckprozess insgesamt zumindest mitsteuern.The machine base part of the linear printing machine has a machine control, which controls at least the transport of the hollow body by the linear printing machine. In addition, the machine control can also control the loading of the linear printing machine, the drying process (s) and / or the painting process and / or the removal of the printed hollow bodies from the linear printing machine and at least control the printing process as a whole.
Bei den Druckstationen der Lineardruckmaschine handelt es sich um vorbereitete Andockstationen. Über die Andockstation einer Druckstation kann ein autarkes Druckmodul mit dem Maschinenbasisteil verbunden werden. Autarkes Druckmodul bedeutet, dass das Druckmodul antriebs- und bevorzugt auch steuerungsmäßig unabhängig von dem Maschinenbasisteil ist, das heißt, das Druckmodul verfügt über einen eigenen Druckmodulantrieb und bevorzugt eine eigene Druckmodulsteuerung. Das Druckmodul kann daher unabhängig von dem Maschinenbasisteil betrieben werden. Die als Andockstationen ausgebildeten Druckstationen einer Lineardruckmaschine oder mehrerer Lineardruckmaschinen der gleichen Art sind identisch, das heißt sie weisen jeweils die gleichen vorbereiteten Verbindungspunkte und/oder Schnittstellen auf. Alle Druckmodule verfügen über zu den Verbindungspunkten und Schnittstellen passende Gegenverbindungspunkte oder Gegenschnittstellen, so dass jedes der Druckmodule in jeder der Druckstationen mit dem Basismaschinenteil verbunden werden kann. Ein beliebiges Druckmodul kann folglich entweder in der ersten Druckstation, in der zweiten Druckstation oder in irgendeiner anderen Druckstation mit dem Druckmaschinenbasisteil zu einer Lineardruckmaschine verbunden werden.The printing stations of the linear printing machine are prepared docking stations. A self-sufficient pressure module can be connected to the machine base part via the docking station of a printing station. Autarkes pressure module means that the pressure module is drive and preferably also control moderately independent of the machine base part, that is, the pressure module has its own pressure module drive and preferably its own pressure module control. The printing module can therefore be operated independently of the machine base part. The printing stations designed as docking stations of a linear printing machine or multiple linear printing machines of the same type are identical, that is, they each have the same prepared connection points and / or interfaces. All print modules have mating connection points or counterparts matching the connection points and interfaces, so that each of the print modules in each of the print stations can be connected to the base machine part. Any printing module can thus be connected to the printing machine base part in a linear printing machine either in the first printing station, in the second printing station or in any other printing station.
Zum positionssicheren Andocken an die Druckstationen können die Druckmodule zum Beispiel mittels eines Gabelstaplers oder eines Deckenkrans auf Schienen abgesetzt werden, auf denen sie dann an das Maschinenbasisteil herangefahren und in der Produktionsposition sicher arretiert werden können. Alternativ kann das Andocken eine sichere Produktionsverbindung direkt zwischen dem Maschinenbasisteil und dem Druckmodul herstellen, beispielsweise über Verrastungselemente oder nach dem Andocken herstellbare Schraubverbindungen. In diesem Fall kann das Druckmodul zum Beispiel auf einem Wagen montiert sein und zusammen mit diesem Wagen an das Maschinenbasisteil angedockt werden. Um eine schnelle Auswechslung oder einen schnellen Tausch der Druckmodule zu gewährleisten können auch andere im Stand der Technik bekannt Schnellverbindungssystem zum Einsatz kommen.For positionally safe docking to the printing stations, the printing modules can be placed on rails, for example by means of a forklift or a overhead crane, on which they can then be moved up to the machine base part and securely locked in the production position. Alternatively, the docking can produce a secure production connection directly between the machine base part and the printing module, for example via latching elements or screw connections which can be produced after docking. In this case, the printing module may for example be mounted on a carriage and be docked with this carriage to the machine base part. In order to ensure a quick replacement or a quick replacement of the printing modules, other known in the art rapid connection system can be used.
Die Druckmodule weisen bevorzugt je eine eigene Modulsteuerung auf, die wie oben beschrieben nach dem Andocken an die Lineardruckmaschine einsetzbar sind. Die Modulsteuerung kann aber auch bei von der Lineardruckmaschine abgedockten Druckmodulen das Zusammenwirken des Druckmoduls mit außerhalb der Lineardruckmaschine gelegenen Vorrichtungen steuern. Beispielsweise kann sich neben oder abseits der Lineardruckmaschine ein Servicemodul befinden, an welches das freie Druckmodul andockbar ist. Bei dem Servicemodul kann es sich z.B. um ein Modul zum Waschen des Druckmoduls, zur Wartung des Druckmoduls oder zur Reparatur des Druckmoduls handeln. Das Servicemodul weist vorzugsweise die gleichen Schnittstellen und Verbindungspunkte zum Druckmodul auf, wie jede der Druckstationen.The printing modules preferably each have their own module control, which can be used as described above after docking with the linear printing machine. However, the module control can control the interaction of the printing module with devices located outside the linear printing machine even when the printing modules are undocked by the linear printing machine. For example, a service module can be located next to or away from the linear printing machine, to which the free printing module can be docked. The service module may be e.g. to be a module to wash the print module, to service the print module or to repair the print module. The service module preferably has the same interfaces and connection points to the print module as each of the print stations.
Die einzelnen Steuerungen der Druckmodule, die beispielsweise nach dem Andocken in der Druckstation über Schnittstellen mit einem Datenbus untereinander verbunden sein können, können gemeinsam eine dezentrale Steuerung für den Druckprozess bilden, die alleine den Druckprozess steuert.The individual controllers of the printing modules, which can be connected to each other, for example, after docking in the printing station via interfaces with a data bus, together can form a decentralized controller for the printing process, which alone controls the printing process.
Bei den Druckmodulen handelt es sich um unterschiedliche Druckwerke, mit denen die Hohlkörper entweder mit Siebdruck, Flexodruck, Offsetdruck, Kaltprägen, Heißprägen, Lasercolourtransfer oder mit Inkjet bedruckt werden können. Jedes dieser verschiedenen Druckmodule kann in jeder der Druckstationen eingesetzt werden. Das heißt bei n Druckstationen können Bilder mit maximal n verschiednen Druckverfahren auf den Hohlkörper gedruckt werden. Dabei entscheidet allein der Produktionsablauf darüber, an welcher Druckstation der Lineardruckmaschine welches Druckmodul eingesetzt wird. So kann beispielsweise ein als Flexodruckwerk ausgebildetes Druckmodul bei einem Produktionsprozess an der ersten Druckstation eingesetzt werden, in einem anderen Produktionsprozess kann an eben dieser Stelle ein durch ein Offsetdruckwerk gebildetes Druckmodul zum Einsatz kommen. Grundsätzlich kann jede Druckstation jedes Druckmodul aufnehmen, egal nach welchem Verfahren dieses druckt.The printing modules are different printing units with which the hollow bodies can be printed either with screen printing, flexographic printing, offset printing, cold stamping, hot stamping, laser color transfer or with inkjet. Each of these different printing modules can be used in each of the printing stations. That is, at n printing stations images can be printed on the hollow body with a maximum of n different printing processes. Only the production process decides on which printing station of the linear printing machine which printing module is used. Thus, for example, a printing module designed as a flexographic printing unit can be used in a production process at the first printing station; in another production process, a printing module formed by an offset printing unit can be used at precisely this point. In principle, each print station can receive every print module, no matter which process it prints.
Um einen registergenauen Bedruck der Hohlkörper zu gewährleisten, ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Lineardruckmaschine ein Positioniersystem aufweist, das dafür Sorge trägt, dass die Hohlkörper möglichst registergenau zu den Druckstationen und von Druckstation zu Druckstation transportiert werden. Dazu kann zum Beispiel ein Dorn, der den zu bedruckenden Hohlkörper trägt eine Positionsmarke aufweisen, die eine bestimmte Stellung innehaben muss, wenn der Hohlkörper in die erste Druckstation einfährt. Das Einhalten dieser Position kann beispielsweise über geeignete Sensoren detektiert und durch die Maschinensteuerung überwacht werden. Da die Dorne bevorzugt drehangetrieben sind, kann die Maschinensteuerung beim Feststellen eine Abweichung zwischen Ist-Position und Soll-Position des Doms durch Ansteuerung des Dornenantriebs die Abweichung vor Druckbeginn korrigieren. Dazu muss aber jeder Dorn über einen Einzelantrieb verfügt und einzeln über die Maschinensteuerung beschleunigt oder abgebremst werden kann. Der Vergleich zwischen Soll- und Ist-Position kann jedes Mal wiederholt werden, wenn in eine Druckstation eingefahren wird.In order to ensure register-accurate printing of the hollow body, it is preferred if the linear printing machine has a positioning system which ensures that the hollow bodies are transported as accurately as possible to the printing stations and from printing station to printing station. For this purpose, for example, a mandrel, which carries the hollow body to be printed have a position mark, which must have a certain position when the hollow body enters the first printing station. Keeping this position can be detected, for example via suitable sensors and monitored by the machine control. Since the mandrels are preferably rotationally driven, the machine control can determine the deviation before the start of printing when determining a deviation between the actual position and desired position of the dome by controlling the mandrel drive. But each mandrel must have a single drive and can be individually accelerated or decelerated via the machine control. The comparison between the setpoint and the actual position can be repeated each time when moving into a printing station.
Alternativ kann die von der Maschinensteuerung entdeckte Abweichung über die Maschinensteuerung an die Modulsteuerung des betroffenen Druckmoduls gesendet werden, so dass die Modulsteuerung das Anstellen des Druckwerkes des Druckmoduls zum Beispiel verzögern kann. Statt der Kontrolle der Dornposition kann alternativ auch die Position des Hohlkörpers selbst überwacht werden, was vorteilhaft ist, da Fehldrucke aufgrund eines auf dem Dorn während des Druckprozesses in Umlaufrichtung verrutschten Hohlkörpers vermieden werden können. Diese Überwachung der Registerposition kann durch eine Markierung am Hohlkörper erreicht werden, die mittels eines zur Maschinenbasis gehörenden und mit der Maschinensteuerung signaltechnisch verbundenen Sensors erfasst wird. Der Sensor sendet ein Signal an die Maschinensteuerung, die aus dem Signal mittels eines Algorithmus Ist-Positionsdaten für den Hohlkörper berechnet und diese mit in der Maschinensteuerung in beispielsweise einem Speicher abgelegten Soll-Positionsdaten vergleicht. Stellt die Maschinensteuerung eine Abweichung zwischen Soll-Position und Ist-Position fest, kann ein entsprechendes Korrektursignal an die Modulsteuerung gesandt werden.Alternatively, the deviation detected by the machine controller can be sent via the machine controller to the module controller of the affected print module, so that the module controller can delay the starting of the printing unit of the printing module, for example. Instead of controlling the mandrel position, alternatively, the position of the hollow body itself can be monitored, which is advantageous because misprints can be avoided due to a hollow body slipped on the mandrel during the printing process in the direction of rotation. This monitoring of the register position can be achieved by a marking on the hollow body, which is detected by means of a signal belonging to the machine base and signal-connected with the machine control sensor. The sensor sends a signal to the machine control system, which calculates actual position data for the hollow body from the signal by means of an algorithm and compares these with target position data stored in, for example, a memory in the machine control. If the machine control determines a deviation between the nominal position and the actual position, a corresponding correction signal can be sent to the module control.
Zur Kontrolle der Position des Hohlkörpers beim Einlaufen in die Druckstation kann jedes Druckmodul einen Sensor aufweisen, mit dem bevorzugt vor Druckbeginn die registergenaue Position des zu bedruckenden Hohlkörpers kontrolliert werde kann. Stellt dieser Sensor eine Abweichung fest, schickt er beispielsweise ein Signal an die Modulsteuerung. Das empfangene Signal wird in der Modulsteuerung verarbeitet und die Modulsteuerung veranlasst dann direkt oder über die Maschinensteuerung die Korrektur.In order to check the position of the hollow body when entering the printing station, each printing module can have a sensor, with which the register-accurate position of the hollow body to be printed can preferably be controlled before the start of printing. If this sensor detects a deviation, for example, it sends a signal to the module control. The received signal is processed in the module controller and the module controller then initiates the correction directly or via the machine control.
Bevorzugt werden die angetriebenen oder sich frei um ihre Drehachse drehenden Dorne in einer mit der Transporteinheit verbundenen oder von der Transporteinheit gebildeten Dornlagerung gelagert. Sind die Dorne angetrieben, so können sie über einen beispielsweise außenverzahnten Dornenfuß über ein Getriebe mit einem Antrieb verbunden sein. Dabei kann jeder Dorn einzeln angetrieben werden, oder die Dorne sind in Gruppen mit einem gemeinsamen Antrieb zusammengefasst oder alle Dorne werde gemeinsam von einem einzigen Antrieb angetrieben. Der Antrieb kann in diesem Fall mittels Zahnriemen oder Ketten vom Antriebsmotor auf den einzelnen Dorn übertragen werden.Preferably, the driven or free to rotate about its axis of rotation mandrels are mounted in a connected to the transport unit or formed by the transport unit mandrel storage. If the mandrels are driven, then they can be connected to a drive, for example via an externally toothed spur foot, via a gear. Everybody can do that Dorn driven individually, or the mandrels are combined in groups with a common drive or all mandrels are driven together by a single drive. The drive can be transmitted in this case by means of toothed belts or chains from the drive motor to the individual mandrel.
Bevorzugt können zwei, drei oder mehr Druckdornlagerungen zu einer Einheit zusammengefasst sein, um eine entsprechende Anzahl von Druckdornen aufnehmen zu können. Ein solcher Verbund von Druckdornlagerungen kann als Wagen z. B. mit einem Linearmotor oder mittels einer Schnecke angetrieben werden, wie beispielsweise in der
Zur Beschreibung der bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Dornenlagerung wird die Lehre der vom Anmelder am gleichen Tag beim Amt eingereichte Patentanmeldung "Dornenlagerzentrierung" in diese Anmeldung aufgenommen.To describe the preferred embodiment of the thorn bearing the teaching of filed by the same applicant on the same day at the Office patent application "Dornenlagerzentrierung" is included in this application.
Die Transporteinheit ist bevorzugt als Endlosband oder Endloskette gebildet, mit einem linearen Transportwegabschnitt im Bereich der Druckstationen. Dabei kann das Endlosband oder die Endloskette zwischen zwei in einem Abstand gelagerten Walzen gespannt sein, wobei zumindest eine der beiden Walzen mit einem Motor angetrieben wird. Die beiden Walzen weisen dabei bevorzugt einen gleichen Durchmesser auf, so dass der Transportweg als ganzes so beschrieben werden kann: zwei parallel verlaufende Geraden, die an ihren beiden Enden mit jeweils einer halbkreisförmigen Kurve mit identischem Durchmesser verbunden sind. Alternativ können die Walzen auch unterschiedliche Durchmesser aufweisen und/oder zumindest der die Druckstationen aufweisende lineare Transportwegeabschnitt kann durch eine dritte Walze, beispielsweise eine nicht angetriebene Umlenkwalze, in zwei Schenkel eines dann dreiecksförmigen Transportweges gegliedert sein. Bevorzugt werden die Hohlkörper auf der Transporteinheit getaktet durch die Lineardruckmaschine geführt. Dabei entspricht die Taktzeit der längsten Bedruckungszeit eines Hohlkörpers durch ein Druckmodul plus der Verfahrzeit von einer Druckstation zur nächsten, dem Vorschub. Da unterschiedliche Druckverfahren unterschiedliche Druckzeiten benötigen können, und nicht bei jeder Produktion alle Druckverfahren zum Einsatz kommen, kann die Taktzeit an die jeweilige Produktion angepasst werden, sie ist in diesem Sinn einstellbar.The transport unit is preferably formed as an endless belt or endless chain, with a linear transport path section in the region of the printing stations. In this case, the endless belt or the endless chain between two spaced-mounted rollers can be stretched, wherein at least one of the two rollers is driven by a motor. The two rolls preferably have the same diameter, so that the transport path as a whole can be described as follows: two parallel straight lines, which are connected at their two ends, each with a semicircular curve with an identical diameter. Alternatively, the rollers may also have different diameters and / or at least the linear transport path section having the printing stations may be divided into two legs by a third roller, for example a non-driven deflection roller then be articulated triangular transport path. Preferably, the hollow body on the transport unit clocked by the linear printing machine out. The cycle time corresponds to the longest printing time of a hollow body by a printing module plus the travel time from one printing station to the next, the feed. Since different printing processes can require different printing times, and not all printing processes are used in every production, the cycle time can be adapted to the respective production; it is adjustable in this sense.
Wie bereits ausgeführt umfasst die Lineardruckmaschine zumindest eine Trocknungsstation, die bevorzugt in Transportrichtung der Hohlkörper nach der letzten Druckstation liegt. Alternativ kann auch zwischen je zwei Druckstationen je eine Trocknungsstation angeordnet sein, so dass nach jedem Druckvorgang durch ein Druckmodul unmittelbar eine Trocknung erfolgt. Denkbar ist ebenfalls, dass jedem Dorn je eine Trocknungsstation zugeordnet ist, die beispielsweise mit dem Dorn eine bauliche Einheit bilden kann und zusammen mit dem Dorn auf der Transporteinrichtung befestigt ist. Bevorzugt ist solch eine Trocknungseinrichtung auf der Seite des Doms angebracht, der dem zwischen einem Hohlkörper und einem Druckwerk gebildeten Druckspalt gegenüber liegt. Diese Anordnung hat den Vorteil, dass das Bedrucken des Hohlkörpers und Trocknung zum Teil gleichzeitig erfolgen, was zu einer Erhöhung der Produktion pro Zeiteinheit führen kann. Alternativ kann die Trocknungsstation auch integrierter Bestandteil des Druckmoduls sein und zusammen mit dem Druckmodul an das Maschinenbasisteil angebaut bzw. von diesem abgebaut werden. Die Trocknungsstationen weisen zum Trocknen der Farbe auf den Hohlkörpern Strahlungsquellen auf, beispielsweise Quellen für eine UV-Strahlung, LEDs oder E-Beamer zur Aussendung von Elektronenstrahlen. Dabei können beim Einsatz von zwei und mehr Trocknungsstationen beide Trocknungsstationen gleiche Strahlungsquellen aufweisen, oder jede der Trocknungsstation je eine andere Strahlungsquelle. Sind zum effektiven Trocknen unterschiedlicher Druckverfahren unterschiedliche Strahlungsquellen von Vorteil, so kann die/jede Trocknungsstation mehrere unterschiedliche Strahlungsquellen aufweisen, die je nach Bedarf aktiviert werden können.As already stated, the linear printing machine comprises at least one drying station, which preferably lies in the transport direction of the hollow body after the last printing station. Alternatively, a drying station can also be arranged between each two printing stations, so that drying takes place immediately after each printing operation by means of a printing module. It is also conceivable that each mandrel is assigned a respective drying station, which can form a structural unit with the mandrel, for example, and is fastened together with the mandrel on the transport device. Preferably, such a drying device is mounted on the side of the dome, which is opposite to the printing gap formed between a hollow body and a printing unit. This arrangement has the advantage that the printing of the hollow body and drying occur partly at the same time, which can lead to an increase in production per unit time. Alternatively, the drying station can also be an integral part of the printing module and be mounted together with the printing module to the machine base part or dismantled by this. The drying stations have radiation sources for drying the paint on the hollow bodies, for example sources for UV radiation, LEDs or E-projectors for emitting electron beams. In this case, when using two or more drying stations both drying stations may have the same radiation sources, or each of the drying station depending on a different radiation source. If different radiation sources are advantageous for the effective drying of different printing processes, then the / each drying station can have a plurality of different radiation sources, which can be activated as required.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels beschrieben.The invention will be described below with reference to a preferred embodiment.

Die Transporteinrichtung 2 ist ovalförmig ausgebildet, mit zwei parallel zueinander verlaufenden linienförmigen geraden Transportwegen 7 und zwei die geraden Transportwege 7 verbindenden Halbkreisen 8. Der Durchmesser der Halbkreise wird bestimmt vom Durchmesser der Walzen 6 und ist gleich dem Abstand der beiden geraden Transportwege 7 zueinander. Längs einer der geraden Transportwege 7 sind mehrere Druckstationen 10 gebildet.The
In vier Druckstationen 10 ist je ein Druckmodul 9 angedockt, wobei es sich um vier verschiedene Druckmodule 9 handeln kann: so kann 9a für z.B. Offsetdruck, 9b für z.B. Flexodruck, 9c für z.B. Siebdruck und 9d für z.B. Inkjet stehen. Werden die Hohlkörper 5 jetzt in die durch den Pfeil angezeigt Richtung an den Druckstationen 10 vorbeigeführt, so kann der Hohlkörper 5 nacheinander von dem Offset-Druckmodul 9a, dem Flexo-Druckmodul 9b, dem Sieb-Druckmodul 9c und dem Inkjet-Druckmodul 9d bedruckt werden. Nach dem Bedrucken kann der Hohlkörper zusätzlich noch in einer Lackierstation 12 mit Lack überzogen werden, bevor er in einer vorzugsweise stationären Trocknungsstation 11 getrocknet wird. Alternativ können auch gleiche Druckmodule 9 in den Druckstationen 10 gebildet sein und der Hohlkörper 5 in den nacheinander angeordneten Druckstationen 10 mit gleichen Druckverfahren aber unterschiedlichen Farben bedruckt werden.Four

Dabei kann in jeder der Druckstationen 10 eine beliebiges Druckmodul 9a bis 9d eingesetzt werden, bei Bedarf auch weitere hier nicht gezeigte Module 9, wie beispielsweise Lasermodule zum Einbrennen von Zeichen oder Figuren, Perforierungsmodule zum Herstellen von Perforationslinien, und so weiter.The arrows drawn below the
Auf das letzte Druckmodul 9 der Lineardruckmaschine 1 kann fakultativ eine Lackierstation 12 folgen, die ebenfalls als Modul 9 ausgebildet sein kann, das heißt sie wird nur bei Bedarf an die Lineardruckmaschine 1 angedockt und kann auch an jeder anderen Druckstation 10 der Lineardruckmaschine 1, beispielsweise auch an der ersten der Druckstationen 10 angedockt sein. Nach der letzten oder nach jeder Druckstation 10 kann je eine Trocknungsstation 11 angeordnet sein, wobei eine oder alle der Trocknungsstationen 11 fest mit der Lineardruckmaschine verbunden sein können, alternativ können sie fest mit dem Druckmodulen 9 verbunden sein oder, was weniger bevorzugt ist, selbst Module 9 bilden, die an die Lineardruckmaschine andockbar sind.On the
