Automation Examples - PRINTING UNIT Inking Unit KBA Metal Decorating
Milestones Inking technology Many Machines in the market: Inking unit type Storage system Design of the 60 s and 70 s Design with the large diameter storage roller results in slow reaction time by zone setting changes and more waste sheets High ink application with last form rollers Danger for stripes and ghosting effects More sensitive for ink/water balance problems because of bad ratio: thin ink film on first form rollers and direct influence of dampening water Note: In Metal-Decorating plenty of these storage inkers are still in use and sold until today KBA-MetalPrint Page:23
Milestones Inking technology MetalStar: Inking unit type Multi roller system Newest design for inking units Faster reaction time by zone setting changes Better ink/water balance Lower ghosting and stripe addiction due to fettling effect of 3th. + 4th. form roller Approx. 99% of all new printing presses are based on multi roller systems except traditional Metal Decorating Machines Since approx. 40 years, Multi-roller Inking units are the state-of-the-art solution for all modern sheet-fed suppliers like KBA, Heidelberg, manroland, Komori a.s.o. KBA-MetalPrint Page:24
Milestones Inking technology In 1967 KBA (Planeta) developed an immediate interruption of ink delivery At press stop the ink profile on rollers will be destroyed by movement of ozillators This is the reason for increased waste sheets and time Nearly 50 years ago KBA developed a device to avoid this effect Together with the press stop, key rollers are lifting up from the ozillators and interrupt immediatly the ink delivery On all modern printing machines like KBA presses, such a device is standard. Only in Metal-Decorating, some other presses without this helpful device are still available! KBA-MetalPrint Page:25
Inking Unit (option) Inking unit temperature control Guarantees process stability and high printing quality due to the cooling of all three oscillators KBA-MetalPrint Page:26
Milestones Inking technology For shorter make ready and higher printing quality modern presses like MetalStar include: Wear free ink metering ink blades with hard metal tips Single-train ink supply to the front form roller Segmented and side effect free inkzone settings Flexurally rigid, ceramic-coated ink duct roller Specially coated ink ducts for faster and easier cleaning Disengaging of unused inking units Ink cooling system / Inking unit temperature control Motorized adjustment of oscillation timing (stepless during production) Ink run-in programs Differential drive for dampening form roller (switchable during production) KBA-MetalPrint Page:27
