Corrugated paper installation for manufacturing of printed corrugating paper cuts with a corrugated paper machine and a rotary printing machine integrated therein

Claim 2

An arrangement for manufacturing printed corrugated paper cuts with a corrugated paper machine, comprising: an integrated rotary printing machine having a plurality of printing stations in said corrugated paper machine; longitudinal cutter means and transverse cutter means; drive means; said printing stations being integrated for printing a paper web with laterally adjacent areas of different width and length which are selectively connectable with said drive means; said printing stations carrying for each area printing forms mounted on an endless exchangeable carrier band of different lengths, said longitudinal cutter means and transverse cutter means being provided for different area lengths; transmission means having a friction coupling and a mechanical engagement coupling for driving integrated printing stations from said drive means of the corrugated paper machine; said transmission means of each printing station having a planetary gear stage with one input connectable via said two couplings with a drive shaft of the corrugated paper machine for setting carrier bands carrying printing forms of printing stations with reference to one another, said planetary gear stage having a second input connectable with at least one setting device, said planetary gear stage having one output leading to a printing cylinder of the printing station.

Claim 3

A corrugated paper installation according to claim 1, including two setting devices for coarse setting and fine setting of said carrier bands, and a further coupling between the setting device for fine setting and the second input of said planetary gear stage.

Claim 4

An arrangement for manufacturing printed corrugated paper cuts with a corrugated paper machine, comprising: an integrated rotary printing machine having a plurality of printing stations in said corrugated paper machine; longitudinal cutter means and transverse cutter means; drive means; said printing stations being integrated for printing a paper web with laterally adjacent areas of different width and length which are selectively connectable with said drive means; said printing stations carrying for each area printing forms mounted on an endless exchangeable carrier band of different lengths, said longitudinal cutter means and transverse cutter means being provided for different area lengths; counter printing cylinders associated with the individual printing stations and constructed to extend over full width of the paper web; said carrier band with printing cylinders and the support and tension rollers extending only over a part of a width of the paper web; said carrier bands with the printing cylinders and support and rollers being arranged so as to be movable transverse to the direction of advancement of the paper web and adjustable according to a position of the paper area; said printing stations being provided approximately in accordance with double, triple or a multiple of a number of paper areas; transmission means having a friction coupling and a mechanical engagement coupling for driving integrated printing stations from said drive means of the corrugated paper machine; said transmission means of each printing station having a planetary gear stage with one input connectable via said two couplings with a drive shaft of the corrugated paper machine for setting carrier bands carrying printing forms of printing stations with reference to one another, said planetary gear stage having a second input connectable with at least one setting device, said planetary gear stage having one output leading to a printing cylinder of the printing station; two setting devices for coarse setting and fine setting of said carrier bands, and a further coupling between the setting device for fine setting and the second input of said planetary gear stage.

Claim 5

An arrangement for manufacturing printed corrugated paper cuts with a corrugated paper machine, comprising: an integrated rotary printing machine having a plurality of printing stations in said corrugated paper machine; longitudinal cutter means and transverse cutter means; drive means; said printing stations being integrated for printing a paper web with laterally adjacent areas of different width and length which are selectively connectable with said drive means; said printing stations carrying for each area printing forms mounted on an endless exchangeable carrier band of different lengths, said longitudinal cutter means and transverse cutter means being provided for different area lengths; counter printing cylinders associated with the individual printing stations and constructed to extend over full width of the paper web; said carrier band with printing cylinders and the support and tension rollers extending only over a part of a width of the paper web; said carrier bands with the printing cylinders and support and rollers being arranged so as to be movable transverse to the direction of advancement of the paper web and adjustable according to a position of the paper area; said printing stations being provided approximately in accordance with double, triple or a multiple of a number of paper areas; transmission means having a friction coupling and a mechanical engagement coupling for driving integrated printing stations from said drive means of the corrugated paper machine; said transmission means of each printing station having a planetary gear stage with one input connectable via said two couplings with a drive shaft of the corrugated paper machine for setting carrier bands carrying printing forms of printing stations with reference to one another, said planetary gear stage having a second input connectable with at least one setting device, said planetary gear stage having one output leading to a printing cylinder of the printing station; two setting devices for coarse setting and fine setting of said carrier bands, and a further coupling between the setting device for fine setting and the second input of said planetary gear stage.
