Heidelberg offset press CPC and CP tronic system

cpc (computer print control) computer print control system is an extensible system, which is composed of ink feeding and registration remote control device cpc1, printing quality control device cpc2, plate image reading device cpc3, registration control device cpc4 and CP tronic (CP window) automatic monitoring and control system,

1- ink feeding and registration remote control device cpc1

(1) cpc1-01 is the basic control device, which remotely controls the ink feeding and registration through the button, including the remote control device of the area ink volume, the ink bucket roller ink strip width, and the axial and circumferential registration devices. In order to facilitate control, the ink supply device is equipped with 32 metering rollers along the axial direction of the ink bucket roller, which divides the ink feeding area into 32 small areas. The width of each metering roller is 32.5mm, and most of the middle of the metering roller is made into eccentric columns. The ink output in this area can be adjusted by rotating the metering ink roller through the micro motor to change the gap between the metering ink roller and the ink bucket roller

(2) the cpc-02 control device uses a light pen and buttons to adjust the ink volume quickly and locally, and has the function of storage and memory. Compared with cpc1-01, memory, processor, cassette tape and light pen are added. Using a light pen, the thickness of the ink layer and the width of the ink bar in the corresponding area can be input to the memory for recall; The cassette can also store the preset data provided by the cpc3 printing plate reading device

(3) compared with cpc-02, cpc-03 control device adds servo control and servo automatic control device. It is often used in combination with cpc2 printing quality control device. When combined, the ink layer thickness of each area measured by cpc2 device is converted into the adjustment value of ink feeding amount, which is displayed on the follow-up display of the console, and then corrected according to the deviation value. So as to quickly and accurately reach the standard value of qualified printed matter

2- printing quality control device cpc2

this device is a measuring device that uses the quality control strip to determine the quality standard of printed matter. Combined with the cpc-03 console, it can not only shorten the time required for replacing printed matter and reduce the waste of machine adjustment, but also convert the actual optical density value into the input data for controlling the ink feeding amount through the computer during printing, so as to ensure a highly stable printing quality

the synchronous measuring head of the CPC device scans all the color scales of the quality control strip within a few seconds, and compares the measured data (truthfully density, point increase, contrast, ghosting and ink overprint, tone deviation and gray degree, etc.) with the predetermined reference value, and the deviation value is adjusted by the cpc-03 device for each color ink bucket of the printing machine

cpc2 device can not only test various quality control tea on the printing sheet, but also control the quality of several printing machines printing different pieces at the same time. The specific information of the printed piece is stored in the floppy disk through the cpc2 terminal device in the way of dialogue. During the official printing, the test results of the maximum size printed piece can be displayed on the screen terminal in only 8s

cpc 2-s quality control device uses chromaticity measurement to replace the density measurement of the original CPC 2. It can not only carry out spectral measurement and spectrophotometric identification, but also calculate the ink control value of cpc1 device according to the gray, field, point and overlapping area of CPC measurement strip; Before printing, you can measure the measuring strip of the sample or the original, during the printing process, you can measure the quality control strip of the print, and you can directly convert the six colors measured from the original into spot colors; When used in combination with cpc1, it can best meet the requirements of controlling the ink dosage according to the measurement results. Li Chao, CMF design and development manager of Xiaomi Communication Technology Co., Ltd., pointed out in an interview with CPRJ China plastic and rubber magazine: "At CES exhibition this year.

3-printing plate image measuring and reading device cpc3.

this device uses the photoelectric measuring head controlled by the computer to measure the ink coverage area of each ink area of the printing plate, and stores the measured results on the cassette tape or prints them out. Before printing, the cpc1 control desk calls the measured values of the printing plate and other data stored on the cassette tape, and passes through cpc1-02 (or cpc1-03) These data are converted into the adjustment value of the gap between the metering ink roller and the ink bucket roller, which realizes the automatic adjustment of the ink volume and shortens the pre adjustment time

4-register control device cpc4

this device is a CPC dedicated register measurement and reading controller, which is used to measure the peripheral and horizontal register deviation of the printing sheet, automatically adjust the register, and display, store and print out the measurement results. When measuring, put the cpc4 device on the print, the crosshair registration error can be measured and recorded. Then, when the cpc4 device is located above the control panel of the cpc1 console, the stored data can be transmitted to cpc1 through the infrared ray only by operating the button, and the stepping motor can be driven by the cpc1 remote control device to adjust all the printing plate rollers to the calculated position

5-automatic monitoring and control system cptronic

CP tronic is a modular centralized control, monitoring and diagnosis system launched by Heidelberg company after CPC system. It can not only replace the traditional electromechanical control system, but also process and store the operation and production data of the printing machine; Control and monitor the whole printing machine (including paper feeding, paper receiving, ink feeding, wetting device, printing unit and other auxiliary equipment, such as the positioning and transmission of paper, the speed of suction roller, the opening point of the paper teeth in the tooth row, the control and adjustment of coating liquid and ink volume, the control and monitoring of the fountain process, etc.); display and query relevant data and information.
