2.3.3 Winder
Double light barrier with chain

The winder is secured by a double light barrier with safety chain to prevent injuries caused by rotating
parts and circular knives from occurring. During production, the safety chain may only be opened to
permit operation of the roll loading and unloading systems at the winding station.

The plugged in chain is monitored by a limit switch. When the chain is unplugged, the lighted SAFETY
LIGHT GRID BLOCKED pushbutton in the operator panel of the winder flashes. All movement of the
cut-off assembly or the turret is blocked. The blocking of the rotary and traversing movements is
cleared by pushing the safety chain back in and by pressing the pushbutton.

(1) Chain 1
(2) Double light barrier

The chain (1) and the double light barrier (2) are
located on the front side of the winder.
When removing the chain while the turret is rotat-
ing or while the cut-off assembly is traversing, all
rotary and traversing movements are stopped im- 21
mediately. In production mode, the machine is
stopped in a minimum of time.
The double light barrier serves as crawl-under pro- Wic_0339
tection. When the safety chain is plugged in and
the turret and the cut-off assembly are moving, all
movement is stopped if the monitored range of the
double light barrier is entered. In production mode,
the machine is stopped in a minimum of time.

Fixed guards locked in place on the winder

Guard doors

(1) Guard doors

Guard doors (1) are provided on the operator side


of the winder. Through the doors, access to the
winders is provided for repair and service work as
well as for threading the web.
The guard doors are monitored by a switch which
is kept shut electrically. If the machine is in the
production or jog mode, the doors are locked.
Locking is released only when the machine is at a
standstill and only then can the doors be opened.
When opening one of the guard doors the com-
pressed air supply to the respective winder is
switched off and the winder is completely bleeded.
The entire production process including jog mode
are disabled.

4.9.8 Operating the service pages


Specifications

The entire data system to control the machine is made up of several self-sufficient computers, indi-
vidual controllers and intelligent components. These devices are generally equipped with random
access memory (RAM) as well as remanent FLASH memory for storage purposes. The PROCON-
TROL computer is merely used as main database, visual display unit and operating tool.
Certain parameters have to be set to operate the separate controllers. These values are fixed INI-
files and depend on the configuration of the respective machine.
Additionally, the system utilizes adjustable system constants (SYSKON files), which can be used to
configure and optimize the behavior of single components. These adjustments can be made by using
the specific service pages for the separate controllers.
Apart from the controllers, the parameters of several electronic components (i.e. absolute value en-
coders, converters) can also be changed using the respective service pages. The procedure descri-
bed here has to be read in conjunction with the information on the service screens.
Basically, the parameter values required by a controller are permanently stored in the internal FLASH
memory. From this remanent (permanent) memory, the data is transferred automatically into the RAM
of the controller during the controller booting sequence, hence the data is again available.
All parameter values required for controller operation are generally stored in the internal memory,
therefore, i.e. these controllers can operate self-sufficiently.

Data on the PROCONTROL computer


Operating system Windows XP including additional W&H software package.
Commission INI- Fixed parameters based on the machine configuration (web tensions,
file speeds, etc.)
These data cannot be changed but only read.
System parame- System parameters can be changed. They can be adapted and loaded to the
ters relative controller as new parameter values and stored to the PROCONTROL
computer as a backup.
No-volt protection If a voltage failure occurs or when shutting down the computer, the no-volt
protection (SpAusfall.rec) automatically stores certain data entered in Pro-
control.
When restarting the computer, this data will be reloaded as well.

Service pages and gaining access

The operator can gain access to and read all of the services pages. For safety reasons, the service
pages have been assigned so-called user classes. These user classes serve to regulate who is
allowed to make changes on which service pages.
User class: Operator - Level 2
Various input and display screens are available to the operator for operating the machine. These
displays are available in the language of the customer's choice and in German. The language can
be changed by accessing the page overview display and pressing the language button.

User class: Customer's technician (service) - Level 1


At this level, the customer's technician can gain full access to a number of other pages, in addition
to the ones accessible at level 2. Access is gained by selecting the 'Page overview' screen and by
entering the custoemr's password. This password is 'wuh' in small letters, unless changed by the
customer.
If, for a short time, no selections or inputs have been made, the user class returns to level 2 auto-
matically.
Via service page ' User data ' the customer's password can be changed.

User class: W&H service technician - Level 0


Because it is possible at this level to change the basic machine settings, access is only allowed to
W&H personnel who must enter a special password for this purpose.

Function

Two motorized winding stations (4) are provided on the turret (1) which can be swiveled at will. De-
pending on the selected operating mode, the web can be unwound either in underwind or overwind
mode The turret renders possible to swivel the ready made roll from the loading position into the
winding position or the unwinding core from the winding position into the loading position. The new
roll can be brought into the loading position by use of a roll lifting platform (8) which is available as
an option. During production, the expiring roll should be in the winding position.
When the expiring roll swivels back from the winding position, idler rollers (3) are provided to ensure
proper web travel.
The light barrier and the safety chain (2) secure the interior of the winder against any unauthorized
access.
Automatic roll change without stopping the machine. The roll ready made with glue swivels from the
loading position into the winding position. The separating assemblies (6) move to their front limit
position. Depending on the selected winding direction, the unwinding web is pressed against the new
roll either by the upper or the lower nip roll (5). The associated cut-off knife is triggered either auto-
matically or manually to cut off the unwinding web. The empty core in the loading position is slowed
and the drive switched off so that the core can be removed.

Chucks

DANGER
Damages to winding shaft adaptors
Damages to the winding shaft adaptors may cause the winding shaft adaptors to break and result in
uncontrolled movements of the winding shaft. Risk of injury to persons and damage to the machine.
Check the winding shaft adaptors for damages every day. Make sure that the toothing of every
winding shaft support is completely embedded in the winding shaft adaptor before loading the winding
shaft. Make sure every time you remove the winding shaft that the toothing of the winding shaft is
completely outside the winding shaft adaptor.

The winding shaft adaptors must be handled in a proper way to prevent damages. Examples for
improper handling:
dropping of the winding shaft adaptor
running when the center shafts are not fully moved out (tilting of the winding shaft or improper entry
of the winding shaft data).
excessive loading of the winding shaft adaptor due to one-sided support when inserting the winding
shaft.
excessive loading of the winding shaft adaptor due to improper roll removal when using the lift table
(the winding shaft was not free to move at the time the lift table was lowered).

Normally, core support in the winding stations is


shaftless. Every winding station is provided with
two chucks (1) which are moved into or out of the
core by motor. Expanding elements in the chuck
head are used to clamp the core in place and fix it
for winding.
Optionally available adapters also render possible
to use of winding shafts.

Pneumatically operated separating assemblies
Risk of severe injuries.
Always switch off the compressed air supply at the compressed air conditioner and withdraw the key
before starting any works inside the winder. There is in increased risk of injury from the pneumatically
operated separating assemblies.

NOTE
Never change the maximum or minimum working pressures! The manufacturer's warranty liability
does not include damages in the pneumatic system of the machine caused by impermissible air
pressure settings.
The compressed air provided on site must meet the quality requirements agreed upon. The manu-
facturer's warranty liability does not included damages due to an inappropriate composition of the air.

5.1.5 Loading a roll and operating the chucks


Safety instructions

CAUTION
Circulating chains, belts and rotating wheels
Parts of your body, clothes, hair and objects may be caught and crushed.
Care must be taken when inserting a roll while the machine is running.
In production mode, the blocking chain may only be opened to permit operation of the roll loading
and unloading systems at the winding station.

NOTE
The center shafts are laid out for certain roll diameters and roll weights. The maximum permissible
limits must not be exceeded. There is a risk of severe damage to the winder when exceeding the
limits.
If a roll is present in the unwind, the new roll must be loaded only when the diameter of the old roll
has run down to a sufficient size. There is a risk that both rolls will collide.
To prevent the chucks or the roll from major damage, the maximum adjustment force of the chucks
is limited by safety clutches.The maximum torque of the safety clutch is factory-set and must not be
changed by the customer. The manufacturer's warranty does not include damages caused by im-
permissible torque adjustments.
The permitted core diameter must not be exceeded. There is a risk that the core is not properly fixed
in place on the core chuck and the web tension required for proper web feed cannot be reached. Fire
hazard caused by strong friction in the winding core.
The manufacturer's specifications and safety instructions for use of the winding shafts must be heed-
ed at all times. Make sure not to expose the winding shafts to excessive loads.
The core chucks of the chucks must be completely retracted into the core of the roll.

Design and function

Both unwind stations are each designed as a pair of chucks. They allow shaftless support of the rolls.
A winding shaft is not required.

(1) Core chuck


(2) Chuck wedge
(3) Groove

The chuck has a core chuck (1) with three inte-


grated chuck wedges (2). The core chuck serves
to support the roll. It must be moved into the roll
core completely. The chuck wedges are used to fix
the roll on the core chuck. Compressed air is used
to press the wedges outwards.
The groove (3) in the core chuck allows precise
mounting of the chuck adapter.

Chuck adapter

The core chucks are designed by default for a certain core inner diameter. Greater core diameters
require the use of appropriate core chuck adapters.
Appropriate chuck adapters to adapt to larger diameters are fitted over and fixed on the core chuck.
In addition to shaftless winding special chuck adapters can also be used.

(1) Adapters for cores with an inner core di-


ameter of 76 millimeters
(2) Adapters for cores with an inner core di-
ameter of 150 millimeters
(3) Winding shaft adapters

To be able to fix the adapters on the core chuck,


they must be fastened with all the screws provided
for this purpose.
Whether core adapters or winding shaft adapters
are used does not mean any limitations to the max-
imum working width of the winder

Handling core chucks

Inflating and deflating core chucks

Before using the rolls in winding mode, the rolls must be fixed on the core chucks. Inflate the core
chucks in order to do this. The core chucks must be deflated before the roll can be taken out of the
winder. The core chucks are deflated.

This mode can only be used for chucks of the winding station which is in the unloading or loading
position.
Actuate the switch until the chuck wedges are audibly inflated or deflated.

Moving the chucks individually

In order for a new roll to be loaded into the winding station in the loading position the two chucks are
individually moved into the core. For this purpose, pushbuttons are provided on the drive and operator
side inside the winder frame. Deflate the chuck wedges to allow for the chucks to be moved. The core
for the roll to be supported has been raised to the height of the chucks by use of the hoisting gear.

The core chucks of the two chucks must be moved into the core completely to make sure that the roll
is supported over its entire length.

(1) MOVE CHUCK INDIVIDUALLY

Press the MOVE CHUCK INDIVIDUALLY but-


ton (1).
Move the chuck until the core chuck is com-
pletely located in the winding core.
To prevent the chucks or the roll from major
damage, the maximum adjustment force of the
chucks is limited by safety clutches.

Description and working principle

WARNING
Defective static charge removal device
Risk of fire and explosion from a static charge removal device when defective
Proper functioning of the static charge removal device must be ensured. Observe the maintenance
intervals.

Static charge removal mode is always used if materials are liable to static charging during a process
and thus may cause production failures or inconveniences to the personnel through unwanted dis-
charge of static electricity.
Unwanted discharge of static electricity means: Discharge of static electricity when touched or dis-
charge of static electricity in partial areas of the line. Both are unwanted discharges of static electricity.
Electrostatic systems reduce the risk of fire and explosion:
The anti-static bar serves to convert the high voltage from positive into negative supply. The high
voltage creates an electrical field at the anti-static bar emitters causing the air molecules around the
emitters to split into positive and negative ions. When material charged with static electricity passes
the electrodes, ions are exchanged between the anti-static bar and the charged material until the
material is neutralized.

on the drive and operator side.
Sleeve-technology is used for the plate cylinders and the anilox rolls. Compressed air is used to mount
the sleeves onto the mandrels. Compressed air flows out of the nozzles in the plate cylinder and
anilox roll mandrels and creates an air cushion that stretches the sleeve outwards. It is possible to
push on or extract the sleeves very quickly. The hinged cap bearings (2) and (6) support the journals
of the plate cylinder mandrels and the anilox roll mandrels and can be hinged away for removing the
sleeves from the respective mandrel.

5.3.2 Programs for deck in/deck out operations


Programs for deck in/deck out operations

Programs for deck in/deck out operations are provided to position the anilox roll and the plate cylinder
relative to the impression cylinder. Programs for deck in/deck out operations are started either from
Procontrol or the hand-held panel.

WARNING
Moving machine parts
Risk of crushing or shearing parts of your body.
Do not reach in between moving machine parts. Keep a safe distance.

Deck-in operation
Deck-in operation means the positioning of all
plate cylinders (1) and anilox rolls (2) involved in
the print job from the zero position to the pre-print
(print off) position.
The print off position depends on the format. This
position at the impression cylinder determines the
approach of the plate cylinder without touching the
web to be printed. The anilox roll is made to follow
up the plate cylinder however, without touching it.

Print On operation
During the Print On operation, the anilox rolls (2)
approach the plate cylinders (1) for inking. The
plate cylinder and the anilox roll conjointly ap-
proach the impression cylinder (3) for inking the
web to be printed.

Deck-out operation means the positioning of all
plate cylinders (1) and anilox rolls (2) involved in
the print job from the Print Off position to the zero
position.
The zero position is the most remote point of the
anilox roll and the plate cylinder from the impres-

5.3.3 Register adjustment


Definition

In the printing machine, the web is fed through several individual color decks which are arranged
around the impression cylinder. A color separation is applied to the web in every color deck. The
trapping and separation method is used to generate the final printed image on the web. When printing
multi-color printed images on the web, different color separations must thus be made to coincide.
The printing machine is provided with so-called register adjustments to be able to precisely apply the
color separations to be printed in the different color decks to the web. The color separation offset in
the peripheral direction can be evened out by use of the longitudinal register adjustment. The color
separation offset in the axis direction of the plate cylinders can be evened out by use of the sidelay
register adjustment.

Longitudinal register

Use the color deck select button at the hand-held panel to select the desired color deck.

(1) Register on web


(2) Register on printing plate
(3) Longitudinal register offset
(4) Impression cylinder
(5) Longitudinal register adjustment buttons
at the hand-held panel

In order to even out the longitudinal register offset


(3) between the register on the printing plate (2)
and the register on the web (1), the plate cylinder
drive of the desired color deck accelerates or slows
briefly.
Slowing or accelerating is achieved by actuating
the longitudinal register adjustment buttons (5) at
the hand-held panel.

In order to even out the sidelay register offset be-


tween the register on the printing plate (2) and the

sired color deck is moved towards the left or the
right (3) within defined limits.
Move the plate cylinder using the sidelay register
adjustment buttons (4) at the hand-held panel. The
work flow direction depends on the location of the
hand-held panel and the software-related assign-
ment of the work flow direction.

Function

EASY-SET HD defines an optimal printing pressure for the color deck. The process takes place in
two steps.
When EASY-SET HD is selected, the gap between the inked-up plate cylinder and the substrate is
set first. To do this, the printing gap is modified continually until a stable ink transfer between the plate
cylinder and the web to be printed is ensured. Set the inking gap between the anilox roll and the plate
cylinder so that an ink transfer between the plate cylinder and the web to be printed barely exists.
Both steps in the process are carried automatically without any action of the operator. During proof
printing, settings are disabled for the drying systen, the web guide control, the machine speed as well
as the printing pressure for the color decks and register settings.
The progress of proof printing is displayed under "Status" on screen page 35 on Procontrol. After
proof printing has ended, the determined impression pressures are saved and the machine moves
into its printing position.

Automatic proof printing for all of the pre-selected color decks may be canceled at any time by stop-
ping the machine. For aborting proof printing shall for one single color deck, select the 'Print Off' mode
at the hand-held panel for the respective color deck.

The waste run and time requirements depend on:


the number of involved color decks
the print repeat length

option screen page 32, EASY-REG D. The operator is requested to select
the EASY-REG halftone dots in the printed images displayed.
The dots should be selected as quickly as possible to prevent unnec-
essary waste.
For further information on the EASY-REG D system please refer to
the relevant operating instructions.
Phase 5: Completion An acoustic signal indicates the completion of the proof printing proc-
ess.

Messages

If EASY-SET HD has finished or canceled the proof printing process, a corresponding message is
displayed in Procontrol and in most cases an acoustic signal is sounded in addition.
After successful proof printing the choice boxes for the color decks are displayed in green. If a fault
has occurred the choice boxes for the color decks are displayed in red.
The reason for canceling will be displayed in Procontrol if EASY-SET HD has canceled the proof
printing process. Help texts associated with the message give additional information.

5.6.7 EASY-SET S
Function and requirements for use

By reducing the printing gap between the plate cylinder and the impression cylinder incrementally,
EASY-SET S determines the point at which the plate cylinder and the impression cylinder make
contact. EASY-SET S recognizes the resistance at this point and the plate cylinder movement is
stopped immediately. This procedure prevents damage to the printing plate from occurring, even if
the machine is at a standstill. The anilox roll is moved parallel to the plate cylinder. An additional
printing impression value (preset value) determined and preset by the operator beforehand is added
to these position values. The proof printing result decisively depends on the printing plate used.
For proper functioning of the Easy-Reg S system, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
The machine must be ready for production.
The color decks that will be needed must have been set up.
The correct plate size must have been entered.
The printing plate must correspond to the default values.
The measurement run must be started from the pre-print position.

5.7.1 How to operate EASY-REG S


Switching on requirements

For proper functioning of the Easy-Reg S system, the following conditions must be fulfilled:
The color decks that will be needed must have been set up.
The correct plate size must have been entered.
The register labels must have been correctly pasted on relative to the printing plate.
We recommend to start register setting from the color decks' zero position.

Operation

How to start Easy-Reg S

The color deck moves into the measuring position, the plate cylinder rotates and the longitudinal and
sidelay register positions are determined.

(1) COLOR DECK choice box


(2) START SETTING button

Select the desired color decks via the choice


boxes (1).
Start the EASY-REG S setting via the START
SETTING (2) button.
The longitudinal and sidelay registers are de-
termined by measuring the register labels.
The duration of the measurement run depends
on the machine type. During the measurement
run the plate cylinders are depicted in magenta
on the screen in a schematic manner. After the
measurement run has ended successfully, the
color turns green and the color decks are in
their pre-print position.

Register label

For proper use of the Easy-Reg system the pressure-sensitive register labels must be exactly posi-
tioned on the sleeve by using a plate mounter.

(C) Possible distance between the microdot (D) Reference line for the pregister position
of the printing plate and the center of the
register label in the longitudinal register.

In order to facilitate register label pasting the protective film across the pasting surface is split in three.

When beginning to peel off the register label (1) from the side, the two outer protective films remain
on the label. The central part (2) of the protective film is removed. The register label can now be
positioned above the sleeve without sticking on the plate mounter. Once the correct position has been
reached the central pressure-sensitive part is being pressed on the sleeve. The register label is fixed,
the remaining two protective films can be peeled off and the register label be finally attached.

The register label is being applied parallel to the outer sleeve edge by using the center line cross.
The cross line (1) of the plate mounter as shown in the image should be aligned to the label's center
line cross. The midpoint of the register label's reference point is found on the reference line (D). The
distance (A) for each printing width is determined once again. The distance is the result of the related
sleeve length minus 5 millimeters
The plate to be mounted should be aligned taking the microdots relative to the register label as a
reference. The distances (B) and (C) to the microdot can be selected to choice andshould be within
a tolerance range of +/- 0.01 millimeters for each sleeve to be used for the relevant job.

5.8.1 Easy-View
Introduction

Easy-View is used to monitor the printed web on a large-scale monitor. The entire print width is shown.
Easy-View is an enhancement to Easy-Set-D, uses the installed cameras of the Easy-Set D system
for displaying the images and is operated on the main control panel using a computer mouse.
The camera system consists of 2 to 3 linear cameras depending on the width of the machine. Each
linear camera covers a web width of 680 millimeters. Easy-View compiles the individual images of
the cameras to a complete image.
The camera resolution is 0.3 millimeter per pixel element. This is equivalent to about 33 pixels per
centimeter or 85 pixels per inch. The camera supplies about one image per second. The image
repetition rate can vary with the web speed, the print repeat length and the selected enlargement
stage.

At the transition points of the cameras visible image faults can occur which can be cleared by the
image enhancement function (shading correction.
Whereas other modules (for example, Easy-Set D) control the cameras, the camera control functions
of Easy-View are deactivated and a signal field is displayed in the overview bar. Once the access of
the modules to the cameras is finished (for example, after completing the automatic print by Easy-
Set D), the camera functions for Easy-View are reactivated once again.
Detailed information on the respectrive control panels are displayed in the country language using
the control panel ONLINE HELP (question mark) in the top line of the monitor.

Safety instructions

DANGER
Fire and explosion hazard caused by static charging
Fire or explosion may hurt persons and cause damage to the machine. Only electrically non-con-
ductive ink containers must be used for solvent-based inks. Connect the ink containers to the equi-
potential bonding lines at the weigher.
Risk of injury from inks, solvents and cleaning agents
Inks, solvents and cleaning agents may harm skin and eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves
and safety goggles. Always ensure adequate ventilation air. Wear an appropriate breathing mask, if
necessary. Always observe the safety data sheets and safety instructions applicable to the product
when handling inks, solvents and cleaning agents. The safety data sheets include details regarding
health, accidents and environmental protection and can be requested from the suppliers.

NOTE
If the platform weigher is used for metering, a maximum weigher load of 60 kilograms must not be
exceeded. Higher loads may result in weigher defects.

Colorimetry instructions when using EASY-COL

To achieve unique colorimetric data we recommend to print measurement points for each color. The
measurement points should have a diameter of at least six millimeters and be printed together with
the motif.
It is important for accurate colorimetry to always use the same backing since the backing is also
included in the colorimetry.
If color charts or color targets are used as the color original, then the validity must be observed. The
colors are subject to an aging process and the color perception changes. Therefore, the color chart
or the color target must always correspond to the same state.
During color matching with EASY-COL the viscosity in the relative color deck must not be changed.
After color correction, check and reset the viscosity, if necessary.

(Procontrol), two correction values are calculated for those color decks the formulas of which are
known. When using Recipe color correction mode, the calculated correction value is made up
exclusively of the base colors used in the formula. When using Color range correction mode, also
other base colors which did not form part of the formula as yet, can additionally be used. In both
cases, the expected color difference Delta E after the correction is displayed.
When selecting LAB/LCh tristimulus values, Leftover ink or Color chart on screen page 1052 (op-
erator column) or on screen page 33 (Procontrol), only the Color range correction will be calcu-
lated for the relevant color decks.

The greater the expected color difference Delta E displayed after the correction, the more likely is the
formula near its color space limit.
As a rule of thumb:
The expected color difference should be less than 5 for the first correction.
For the second correction, the value should be less than 2.

(1) CALCULATE button


(2) DO button
(3) DELETE button

Press the CALCULATE (1) button.


The respective color differences Delta E for
correcting the recipe color and the color range
are calculated and displayed.
Press one of the two DO (2) buttons (Recipe
color correction or Color range correction).
The selected correction value is sent to the
platform weigher. The calculated correction
value which has not been selected will be de-
leted.
After a correction value has been sent to the
platform weigher, another correction value for
this color deck can temporarily not been calcu-
lated.
Press the DELETE button.
The correction values sent to the platform
weigher are deleted.

Alternative anilox roll

After the anilox roll has been changed, the expected color difference compared to the ink available
in the color deck can be displayed. Use the PROPOSAL button to calculate the optimal anilox roll
which is supposed to have the least color difference Delta E relative to the reference color location.
The expected Delta E after changing an anilox roll is displayed in the field DELTA E OLD ANILOX

Before changing the anilox roll, the operator has to decide on whether the proposed anilox roll is
suitable for printing the motif.
An alternative anilox roll can only be calculated during the first correction process after having cal-

Secondary color correction

If there is not enough ink left to do the job, use the SECONDARY COLOR CORRECTION mode to
mix the additionally required ink. Original ink must be left to do this and all correction values must
have been saved before.

In the display field Original ink quantity 1, the available original ink for this color deck must be entered
(minimum quantity: 1kg).
Then, the names of the base inks and the associated quantities which must be added to the original
ink appear in the column (2).
The display field TOTAL QUANTITY (3) shows the quantity of original ink and the added ink quantity.
The display field REQUIRED QUANTITY (4) shows ink quantity required to finish the job. By changing
the original ink quantity you can thus match the exact ink quantity required to finish the job.
When pressing the DO button, the secondary correction value for this color deck will be sent to the
platform weigher.

Example:
50kgs of original ink will be required for color deck 3 on the machine. 20kgs will be filled into the
machine first. During color matching with EASY-COL, 2kgs of yellow and 1kg of waste will be added.
If this ink quantity is insufficient to finish the print job, original ink must be replenished. As the original
ink is however, not matched, replenishment would result in a color drift. By use of the SECONDARY
CORRECTION mode, EASY-COL can now calculate the correction quantities to be added (e.g.: 1kg
yellow and 0.5kg waste per 10kgs of original ink) so that the ink replenished is identical to that avail-
able in the color deck.

For secondary correction, the ink viscosity must be checked. The viscosity of the re-corrected ink
must be the same as that of the ink available in the color deck.

ink container. The calibration unit contains three removable individual weights weighing about fifteen
kilograms each. The exact weight is stamped on the individual weights.
If deviations are detected during the checking, the ink weighing system needs recalibration. Only
specially trained personnel are allowed to do the calibration work.

5.10.1 Safety instructions for use of the drying system

DANGER
Gas warning device not maintained
Fire or explosion may hurt persons and cause damage to the machine.
The employer is responsible for the correct working state, the checking and the adjustment of the gas
warning device. The employer is liable to ensure that the gas warning device is set to the correct
solvent/solvent mixture before starting a new print job. The gas warning device must be checked at
regular intervals for proper functioning.

DANGER
Drying system not tested
Fire or explosion may hurt persons and cause damage to the machine.
The dryer and all the other safety devices must be tested by an expert at least once a year. The
machine must not be operated unless the dryer is in a proper working condition.

DANGER
Dampers improperly set
Fire or explosion may hurt persons and cause damage to the machine.
The dryer provides various dampers which are set during commissioning. These factory-set dampers
must not be readjusted by the customer. Improper adjustments might result in an impermissibly high
solvent vapor concentration. An increased danger of explosion will exist if the permitted threshold
limit values (LEL) are exceeded.

DANGER
Measuring error with the gas warning device
Fire or explosion may hurt persons and cause damage to the machine.
Any parts that were opened or removed for cleaning and/or maintenance work must be closed or
refitted. Otherwise, faulty solvent concentration measurements might be recorded. The doors or cov-
ers at the dryer must remain closed during operation. All measuring points on the measuring stations
must be closed with appropriate blind plugs.

DANGER
Improperly connected equipotential bonding cables
Fire or explosion may hurt persons and cause damage to the machine.
Cables are secured to the dryer at different places (green/yellow). These cables are used for creating
equipotential bonding between the specific components. These cables must never be removed or
loosened. A very high voltage level with severe potential differences might result if the connector is
broken or becomes loose. Check the equipotential bonding connectors at regular intervals.

DANGER
Wrong color deck selection
Fire or explosion may hurt persons and cause damage to the machine. Electrostatic discharges may
also occur when using inks that contain metal, e.g. gold ink.
Therefore, inks containing metal should only be used in the last color deck.

DANGER
Wrong solvent
Fire or explosion may hurt persons and cause damage to the machine.
Dryers to be used in operating zone 2 in compliance with DIN EN 1539 are laid out for solvents
according to class T2 (explosions sub-group IIB, temperature class T2, gravure printing) and T3
(explosion sub-group IIB, temperature class T3, flexo printing). Solvents containing phenol and ep-
oxide require a special upgrade to be made to the gas warning device! Only the quantity of solvent
that is listed on the dryer rating plate attached to the machine is to be supplied. Only ever use the
data specified on the rating plate for the dryer attached to the machine to calculate the maximum
permitted amount of solvent. For calculation purposes please refer to the chapter "Drying system"
under the heading "Calculation examples" in the instruction manual.

DANGER
Wrong flow temperature when using drying systems which are operating in operating zone 2
in compliance with DIN EN 1539
Fire or explosion may hurt persons and cause damage to the machine.
The flow temperature to the dryer (e.g. heat exchanger) in flexographic printing presses must not
exceed: 160 degrees Celsius / 320 degrees Fahrenheit (80%, T3). The T3 approval is voided with
flow temperatures greater than 160 degrees Celsius / 320 degrees Fahrenheit. The flow temperature
to the dryer (e.g. heat exchanger) in gravure printing presses must not exceed: 240 degrees Celsius /
464 degrees Fahrenheit (80%, T2). The T2 approval is voided with flow temperatures greater than
240 degrees Celsius / 464 degrees Fahrenheit.

CAUTION
Hot surfaces
Risk of burning your skin when getting in contact with hot surfaces.
Wear safety gloves, safety shoes and long-sleeved clothing. Keep a safe distance. Keep away sub-
stances with low ignition temperatures.

CAUTION
Webs running onto rolls or rollers (infeed nips)
Parts of your body, clothes, hair and objects may be caught and crushed.
Wear tight-fitting clothes and a hairnet. Work without gloves. Keep hands clear of the running ma-
chine. Keep a safe distance. Only ever use the threading chain for web thread-up.

Function

NOTE
The drying system is a passive module and has no main switch. The drying system is operational
only after the energy supply has been switched on as described in the POWER SUPPLY documen-
tation module.

One slot blower (2) each is arranged in the web running direction around the impression cylinder
behind the color decks. They are provided to dry the just applied ink and to extract the solvent-laden
air. An exhauster downstream of the last color deck is optional.
The superstructure on the printing press is made up of a drying box equipped with slot blowers. They
serve to dry the ink which has just been applied in the last color deck and to finally dry the ink applied
in the other color decks.In addition to that, the solvent-laden air in the drying box is extracted.
Heating up and distributing the make-up air for the slot nozzles in the drying box and the slot blowers
on the between-color drying system is carried out separately. As an option, the make-up air can be
heated up by means of heat exchangers, electrical heaters or gas burners. The respective slot blow-
ers are provided with the heated-up make-up air by means of the recirculating air blower. The make-
up air flow towards the slot blowers is accomplished via distributor pipes.
The solvents absorbed in the make-up air are transferred to the exhaust air distributor together with
the fresh air (leakage air). Part of the exhaust air quantity is recirculated as make-up air. The re-
maining part of the exhaust air quantity is extracted from the press (exit air).

5.10.3 Operating the drying system


Operating status of the drying system

WARNING
Potentially explosive atmosphere
Explosions cause severe injuries.
The operator is responsible for the correct working state, the checking and the adjustment of the gas
warning device. The employer is liable to ensure that the gas warning device is set to the correct
solvent/solvent mixture before starting a new print job. The gas warning device must be checked for
proper functioning at regular intervals.

WARNING
Potentially explosive atmosphere
Explosions cause severe injuries.
The dryer and all the other safety devices must be tested by an expert at least once a year. The
machine must not be operated unless the dryer is in a proper working condition.

WARNING
Potentially explosive atmosphere
Explosions cause severe injuries.
The dryer provides various dampers which are set during commissioning. These factory-set dampers
must not be readjusted by the customer. Improper adjustments might result in an impermissibly high
solvent vapor concentration. An increased danger of explosion will exist if the permitted threshold
limit values (LEL) are exceeded.

WARNING
Potentially explosive atmosphere
Explosions cause severe injuries.
Any parts that were opened or removed for cleaning and/or maintenance work must be closed or
refitted. Otherwise, faulty solvent concentration measurements might be recorded. The doors or cov-
ers at the dryer must remain closed during operation. All measuring points on the measuring stations
must be closed with appropriate blind plugs.

WARNING
Opening explosion pressure relief dampers
Risk of severe injuries.
Overpressure in the drying system causes the explosion pressure relief dampers to open automati-
cally. Risk of injury for persons when opening the dampers. Do not deposit objects in front of the
dampers. Do not block the dampers.

WARNING
Potentially explosive atmosphere
Explosions cause severe injuries.
Electrostatic discharges may also occur when using inks that contain metal, e.g. gold ink. Therefore,
inks containing metal should only be used in the last color deck.

WARNING
Potentially explosive atmosphere
Explosions cause severe injuries.
The drying system has been designed for the use with class T2 solvents for gravure printing and class
T3 solvents for flexographic printing. Solvents containing phenol and epoxide require a special up-
grade to be made to the gas warning device! Only the quantity of solvent that is listed on the dryer
rating plate attached to the machine is to be supplied. Only ever use the data specified on the rating
plate for the dryer attached to the machine to calculate the maximum permitted amount of solvent.
For calculation purposes please refer to the chapter "Drying system" under the heading "Calculation
examples" in the instruction manual.

WARNING
Potentially explosive atmosphere
Explosions cause severe injuries.
If the processing air is heated by heat exchangers, the flow temperature of the heat exchanger must
be set up such that the surface temperature never exceeds 80% of the ignition temperature of the
solvent being used.
The heat exchangers that have been installed for dryers designed for flexographic printing have been
laid out for max. flow temperatures of 240 degrees Celsius / 464 degrees Fahrenheit (80 %, T2). The
T3 approval is voided with flow temperatures greater than 160 degrees Celsius / 320 degrees Fah-
renheit.
The heat exchangers that have been installed for dryers designed for gravure printing have been laid
out for max. flow temperatures of 240 degrees Celsius / 464 degrees Fahrenheit (80 %, T2). The T2
approval is voided with flow temperatures greater than 240 degrees Celsius / 464 degrees Fahrenheit.

NOTE
Hot air mode
The hot air mode may only be used when the machine is running and the blowers are switched on.
The blowers can only be switched off when the machine is at a standstill.

NOTE
Preheating mode
This mode renders possible that the heaters operate although the machine is not running. It takes 5
minutes to switch on this mode. When switching on the machine drive during this period, preheating
mode changes over to heating mode. Switch off the switched on heaters after the machine has stop-
ped. The blowers remain switched on. They can be switched off by pressing the BLOWER button
once again.

CAUTION
Machine starting automatically
Depending on production, various parts of the line may start automatically. Parts of your body, clothes,
hair and objects may be caught and crushed.
Samples may be cut out however, be careful not to separate the web when doing so. Separating the
web may result in rotating movements of the drive. The drive will be switched off in a delayed manner
via the DANCER ROLLER AT MAXIMUM mode. All chucks of the center shafts must be inflated and
covered by winding cores. Pay attention to the visual and acoustic warning signals. Keep a safe
distance.

As a standard feature, every winding station in unloading position is switched off automatically when
opening the safety chain or entering the safety area of the light grid.
The machine can optionally be configured as follows:
After the configuration, the winding station which is in its unloading position remains switched on
even if the safety chain is opened or the safety area of the safety light grid is entered.

This is subject to the prerequisites that:


the machine is at a standstill and the web does not move.

The following movements are prevented when opening the safety chain and entering the safety area
of the safety light grid:
The turret does not rotate.
The separating assembly does not traverse.

Function

Two motorized winding stations (4) are provided on the turret (1) which can be swiveled at will. De-
pending on the selected operating mode, the web can be wound up either in underwind or overwind
mode The turret renders possible to swivel the ready made core from the unloading position into the
winding position or the finished roll from the winding position into the unloading position. During pro-
duction, the accruing roll should be in the winding position.
If the roll is swiveled from the winding position into the unloading position, idler rollers (3) are provided
to ensure proper web travel. The web is additionally guided by a lay-on roller (8) installed inside the
turret. It can either continually rest against the roll or be swung in on a roll change.
The light barrier and the safety chain (2) secure the interior of the winder against any unauthorized
access.
Automatic roll change without stopping the machine. When initiating a roll change, the separating
assembly moves into its rear limit position. The winding core ready made with glue is swiveled into
the winding position and the finished roll into the removal position. The separating assembly returns
to its front limit position and the nip roll (5) presses the web against the winding core. Depending on
the selected operating mode, one of the two cut-off knives (7) cuts the web. The roll in the unloading
position slows and the relevant drive is switched off. The finish-printed roll can be unloaded by use
of a roll lifting platform (9) which is available as an option.

5.13.9 Nip roll and lay-on roller


Winding mode for the nip roll

After switching on the winding motor, the nip roll stops at the roll. Depending on the selected winding
mode, i.e. gap or surface winding, the nip roll either makes contact with the roll or a gap remains
between the nip roll and the material roll. The increasing roll diameter causes the nip roll to be re-
tracted automatically by the amount of the roll diameter increase.

(1) GAP WINDING

The GAP WINDING mode is used to achieve soft


wound rolls. To prevent web wandering, the nip roll
must be swung onto the roll.

(1) SURFACE WINDING

When using the SURFACE WINDING mode (1),


the nip roll is forced against the roll by a contact
force which can be set by the operator.

5.14.1 Safety instructions for using the inking unit


General information

DANGER
Electrostatic charging
The line can be electrostatically charged. There is a risk of personal injury from electric shocks caused
by electrostatic charging which may result in uncontrolled reactions.
Provide suitable earthing. Equipotential bonding cables must be connected. Keep the contact surfa-
ces clean.It is forbidden to operate the line unless the equipotential bonding cables are properly
connected. Always wear conductive shoes when working on the inking unit.

CAUTION
Liquids under high pressure
Risk of injury from liquid penetration or splash under high pressure. Thrashing of defective pressure
hoses.
Wear personal safety equipment, keep the lids of all ink containers closed and check the pressure
hoses regularly.

If the inking system is equipped with pneumatic ink pumps, the compressed air supplied must meet
the quality requirements specified in the sheet under the heading "General information on com-
pressed air supply". For this reason, it must only be used with the machine or a suitable compressed
air conditioner.
Ink hoses which are not connected to a doctor blade chamber must be connected to the ink hose
parking position of the respective color deck and locked in place.
Make sure to install and attach the ink hoses in a way that they are not energized in any of the selected
color deck positions. Check the ink hoses and the associated quick-acting couplings at regular inter-
vals (see maintenance instructions for the 'Inking unit').
When cleaning the color decks, the exit air fans at the respective color decks must be switched on.
If the machine is provided with anilox roll covers plates or splash guards, these must be mounted in
both the printing mode and in cleaning mode.
When operating the unit without a filling level monitoring system make sure that sufficient clean
cleaning agent is available and that the container for the dirty cleaning agent is sufficiently empty
before starting a cleaning or pump-out cycle. There is a risk that the discharge container spills over
during the wash-up process.

Instructions for handling the agitator

Ink return pipe must be set up correctly and locked in place so that it does not get in contact with the
agitator shaft.
The minimum distance of the agitator shaft from the container bottom or from the ink pipes should be
more than 20 millimeters.
The agitator shaft must be attached to the motor shaft. The locking pin must be locked in place.
The agitator motor must be introduced into the cover flange and the locking screw must be tightened.
Check the agitator shaft for truth of rotation.
The regulating valve is used to set up the operating speed. The operating speed depends on the
viscosity. Low operating speeds result in good agitating effects.
An equipotential bonding conductor is available on the cover and on the ink container and the junc-
tions must be blank.
Agitator monitoring is required. Operating the agitator above ink level is not permitted.
The compressed air motor must be lubricated via oiled compressed air.
The compressed air motor must not be dipped in fluids. Use a solvent-soaked cloth for cleaning.

Safety instructions for using ink containers

DANGER
Electrostatic charging
The line can be electrostatically charged. There is a risk of personal injury from electric shocks caused
by electrostatic charging which may result in uncontrolled reactions.
All equipotential bonding cables must be connected.Keep contact surfaces clean. Disconnect the
ground terminal last when removing the ink container and establish the connection to the ground
terminal first when refitting the ink container. Only ever use suitable, static dissipative ink containers
made of low-sparking material. Do not use containers made of aluminimum, titanium or magnesium.
Always keep the covers of the ink containers closed. Only ever open the ink containers for ink re-
plenishment. Always wear conductive shoes when working on the inking unit.

CAUTION
Ink container lid
The ink container lid may snap shut when controlling the ink and crush parts of your body.
Open the lid completely. Do not deposit any objects behind the lid.

Safety instructions for using solvent containers

DANGER
Electrostatic charging
The line can be electrocstatically charged. There is a risk of personal injury from electric shocks
caused by electrostatic charging which may result in uncontrolled reactions.
Only ever use suitable, conductive solvent containers made of low-sparking material. Do not use
containers made of aluminimum, titanium or magnesium. The individual solvent containers on the
color decks providing solvents to control the ink viscosity should only be topped up with the amount
of solvent required for one shift.The solvent containers should be topped up outside the machine.
Solvent containers on color decks not involved in the production process must not contain any sol-
vents. Put the solvent pumps out of service. Keep the lids of the solvent containers closed to prevent
volatilizing and thus interference effects of the ambient air from occurring. The equipotential bonding
cables for the solvent containers provided on the machine must be connected.To make filling safe,
the container to be emptied and the one to be filled must be connected to the equipotential bonding
cable.

Function

NOTE
Only aerosol-free and particle-free fluids and gases or gas mixtures must be used.

The inking and wash-up system Turboclean serves to supply the individual color decks on the
machine with inks and to ensure even ink transfer to the anilox roll.
Moreover, it renders possible to automatically clean the entire ink supply system including the
anilox roll and the connecting elements from left-over inks.
The pump and valve unit is the central element. It comprises the necessary pumps and valves for
supplying and cleaning a color deck. A special air conditioner is used for cleaning the compressed
air required for the pump and valve unit.
All of the pump and valve units are supplied with compressed air and cleaning agents via a base
frame. A specially designed supply system provides the cleaning agent. The used agent is collected
in a discharge container.
Hose connectors connect the pump and valve unit to the doctor blade chamber of the respective
color deck. The doctor blade chamber ensures even inking of the anilox roll. For normal printing,
the ink pails supplied by the ink manufacturers can be used. As an option, there are ink containers
which can be moved towards the pump and valve unit via rollers. The ink is pumped out of the
pump and valve unit through the doctor blade chamber and back into the ink container in an en-
closed circuit.
In wash-up mode, the ink is first pumped out of the ink supply system back into the respective
container. The cleaning agent is flushed from the supply system through the entire hose and
chamber system in various sequences. The anilox roll is cleaned as well.
After washing, the dirty cleaning agent is pumped into the discharge container.
All functions of the pump and valve unit are carried out by use of the hand-held panel. The settings
required for operating the unit are made at Procontrol.

Notes

Observe the instructions and details given in the manufacturer's installation and instruction manual
for the respective supply system.
The pertaining local safety instructions for the cleaning agents to be used must be adhered to.
Dispose of the dirty cleaning agents environmentally sound in accordance with the pertaining local
regulations.
If the line is not equipped with a filling level monitoring system, make sure that the dirt container is
sufficiently empty before starting any cleaning or pump out cycle. There is a risk that the container
spills over during the wash-up process.

The process fluid of the ink must not necessarily be used as the cleaning fluid, since during cleaning,
the fluid will be collected completely and thus does not get into the ink. (Condensate or solvent mix-
ture)
The manufacturer's instruction manual must be adhered to when filling or emptying the supply system.
The filling process must be monitored.
On a few lines, it may become necessary to switch on control voltage to the machine for filling the
cleaning agents as otherwise the valve in the supply line is locked.
If the dirty fluid container is provided with overfill protection, this unit blocks the supply line to the
container upon reaching the maximum filling quantity. All currently running cleaning and pump-out
programs are aborted. A error message appears on the hand-held panel.
If the cleaning fluid has been completely pumped out of the container, the current program will not
be aborted!
The connectors from the supply system to the central distribution system are described in more detail
in the technical specifications. Keep all connecting lines free from foreign substances.

Function

Cleaning media are used for the wash-up process on all color decks. These cleaning media are
provided by a supply system which is laid out for this purpose. The supply system serves to provide
sufficient cleaning media and to collect the dirty medium.
Different types of the supply systems are available according to the inks used and the related safety
instructions.
Connection to the pump and valve system is provided via the central distribution system. According
to the requirements, up to three different cleaning media can be used. The distribution system and
the number of supply containers should be adjusted according to the number of cleaning media used.
Make sure that sufficient cleaning medium for the operation is available in the cleaning container.
The capacity in the dirty fluid container should be sufficient to collect the dirty fluids from the cleaning
process. To ensure this, the fluid filling level should be permanently monitored.
Solvent-based inks:
Filling level monitoring in the containers takes place automatically. The two liquid volumes are per-
manently checked against a corresponding minimum and maximum value. These threshold values
when reached are laid out so that the standard cleaning processes for approx. eight color decks can
still be carried out completely.

If the minimum filling level in the clean cleaning medium container drops below this level or if the filling
level in the dirty medium container is exceeded, the warnings "Dirty liquid container almost full" or
"Solvent container almost empty" appear on the hand-held panel. Cleaning cycles are still possible
if this warning appears. Before starting a cleaning program the operator should check the filling levels
to decide whether the desired program can still be run.
Generally, the dirty fluid container should be emptied and the cleaning container be filled when the
first warning appears.

The dirty fluid container of the supply system has overfill protection. If the container is full all current
cleaning programs are interrupted and the supply line to the container is blocked automatically. A
error message appears on the hand-held panel.If the reservoir is empty the cleaning program will not
be interrupted; cleaning is no longer possible.

Water-based inks:
Due to the low risk potential the fluids are kept in simple metal containers when cleaning with water.
The exact filling level is not recorded.

If the system has no filling level monitoring equipment, the fluid levels in the containers should be
checked prior to every cleaning cycle. Make sure that sufficient cleaning medium is available for the
selected program. Make sure that there is sufficient collecting capacity in the dirty fluid container to
prevent the container from spilling over.

NOTE
The connectors need cleaning after every washing cycle and prior to longer shutdown times. This
ensures that the connectors are free from ink and dirt.

based and water-based inks) it becomes necessary to carry out the CLEAN CONNECTORS function
until the solvent used comes out of the connectors.
Pressing the CLEAN CONNECTORS pushbutton causes the supply and return connectors at the
pump and valve system to be cleaned additionally. The pushbutton must be pressed only after the
actual wash-up cycle of the color deck.

NOTE
A sealed clip connects the terminal compartment and the ink chamber. When opening the clip and
separating the connection, the viscosity controller becomes defective and must not be used any more.

A viscosity controller is required to keep the ink viscosity specified for the job constant. The sensor
is integrated in the supply line to the doctor blade chamber.
The rod in the ink chamber is set vibrating and the vibrations are transmitted to the ink. The resulting
ink vibrations are measured and evaluated. This value along with the conversion to be carried out
allow conclusions regarding the ink viscosity.
Conversion is to be carried out on every ink change. As to that, the stop watch mode of the hand-
held panel is explained in this chapter.

5.16.7 Roller covers


General

Improper storage conditions have an adverse effect on the properties of the roller covers and leads
to a reduction in the service life of a roller cover.
In order to ensure that the covers have a long service life, please observe the following instructions
on storage, cleaning and operation. Please refer to DIN 7716 (ISO 8331) for other requirements
regarding the storage and cleaning of the roller covers.

Storing

Rollers Should be stored in their transport case and supported on studs. Do


not apply or fit coverings. Turn rollers through 180 degrees, turning
'soft' qualities more frequently than 'hard' ones.
Room heating Screen rollers from heating elements.
Temperature 5C - 20C
Humidity Max. 65% relative humidity.
Lighting Protect from direct sunlight and strong artificial light with high UV
content.
Ozone Storage areas must be absolutely free of ozonic equipment (e.g. pre-
treater, electric motors).
Other Solvents, fuels and other chemicals must not be stored in the same
area as rollers.

Cleaning

Coated rollers Use solvents which are also contained in the inks, adhesives etc. in
use.
Clean the roller covers with a little bit of solvent keeping the cleaning
time to a minimum, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Never use hard objects for cleaning.
Rubberized rollers Only ever use soap, warm water and a lint-free cloth when cleaning
rubberized rollers.
The manufacturer recommends the use of effective and gentle clean-
ing agents.
Counter rollers Remove deposits or contaminations, if any.

Operation

Relieve pressure immediately when roller covers running under pressure come to a standstill. Dry
running of the rollers must be avoided. Regular maintenance of the roller coverings prevents major
damage and downtimes.

Change on printing presses

Pay attention to the electric conductivity of the surfaces. The surface resistance is defined as < 109
Ohm and must not be exceeded.
