At present, for the positioning pattern of the photolithography positioning paper, through the front-end design, the pattern is expanded, or the white ink is printed, or the gold stamping is used for the post-processing to avoid the registration difficulty, but the appearance is poor and the qualified rate is low due to the registration error.

[0026] The specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.
[0027] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2a , Figure 2b , a method for accurately positioning paper by dynamic pull gauge comprises the following steps:
[0028] Step S1: pressing optical grating ruler on printing paper;
[0029] Specifically, printing optical grating ruler is arranged on paper pressing plate, and the integrity of optical grating ruler of printing paper after cutting is ensured by pressing.
[0030] The optical grating ruler comprises front gauge optical grating ruler and side gauge optical grating ruler, which are arranged in X and Y axes of paper pressing plate, and the integrity of front gauge and side gauge optical grating ruler of printing paper after cutting is ensured by pressing.
[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, the front gauge and the side gauge grating ruler are 3mm*10mm long strips, and one or more strips can be arranged respectively. The grating ruler is photoetched with 0.01mm*0.01mm parallel grating lines, and the back of each paper and the side gauge are marked with paper grating ruler through mold pressing.
[0032] Step S2: setting the front gauge and the side gauge grating ruler identifier in the paper conveying device of the offset printing paper conveying system;
[0033] In the embodiment of the present application, the front gauge and the side gauge grating ruler identifier are respectively installed in the middle of the pneumatic conveying or the conveying belt of the offset printing paper conveying system;
[0034] Step S3: setting the servo motor in the front gauge and the side gauge of the offset printing, which is used to control the one-way movement of the front gauge and the side gauge;
[0035] Step S4: the front gauge and the side gauge grating ruler identifier identifies the front gauge and the side gauge grating ruler on each paper, and then the processor calculates the negative movement control signal corresponding to the deformation data of the front gauge and the side gauge, and drives the servo motor to control the front gauge and the side gauge based on the control signal.
[0036] Specifically, the grating ruler identifier generates black and white interference fringes through the dynamic change of the paper grating ruler, and converts the black and white interference fringes into electrical signals and transmits them to the PLC processor.
[0037] The front gauge control is achieved by changing the moving position of the front gauge paper stop plate, and the side gauge control is achieved by changing the moving position of the side gauge paper stop plate.
[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the PLC processor is used to identify the front gauge and the side gauge grating ruler on each paper through the grating ruler identifier, obtain the deformation data electrical signal of the front gauge and the side gauge, and transmit it to the PLC processor. After calculation by the PLC processor, the control signal of the dynamic negative movement data is generated and transmitted to the servo motor of the front gauge and the side gauge, and the servo motor of the front gauge and the side gauge controls the position of the paper stop plate of the front gauge based on the control signal with the dynamic negative movement data, so as to achieve the accurate registration of the paper in the X and Y axis directions.
[0039] The traditional front gauge and the side gauge are fixed in the X and Y axis directions, and the present application uses the grating ruler to identify the deformation amount of the paper in the X and Y axis directions. After the grating ruler data is calculated by the PLC controller, it is transmitted to the servo motor of the front gauge and the side gauge, and the servo motor controls the dynamic movement data of the front gauge. The fixed front gauge is added with the servo motor, and the movement amount of the front gauge is dynamically controlled, so as to achieve the purpose of the registration of the printing pattern and the paper, that is, the printing plate of the printing machine is fixed, and if the pattern of the paper fluctuates, the front gauge is adjusted. The dynamic front gauge controls the deformation fluctuation of the paper, so as to solve the accurate registration problem of the positioning pattern on the paper and the printing pattern.
[0040] AsFigure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a dynamic guide gauge precision positioning device includes a grating ruler identifier, a servo motor, and a controller. The grating ruler includes a front guide grating ruler and a side guide grating ruler. The grating ruler identifier includes front and side guide grating ruler identifiers. The servo motor includes front and side guide servo motors, which are respectively installed on the front and side guides of the offset printing device. The grating rulers are molded on the printing paper, that is, they are set in the X and Y axis directions of the paper molding plate, and the integrity of the front and side guide grating rulers is maintained after molding and cutting. The front and side guide grating ruler identifiers respectively identify the front and side guide grating rulers on the printing paper and send them to the PLC processor. The PLC processor then calculates the negative movement control signal corresponding to the deformation data of the guide gauge and the side guide, and drives the servo motors of the front and side guides to control the unidirectional movement of the guide gauge and the side guide.
[0041] By molding a grating ruler onto the printed paper, a front-mounted grating ruler recognizer dynamically identifies changes in the paper's grating ruler based on the grating and collects the data. After analysis by a PLC processor, the deformation data of the front and side gauges is determined. The PLC processor then calculates the data to be moved based on the electrical signals of the deformation data of the front and side gauges, and generates control signals based on the movement data. These control signals are transmitted to the servo motors loading the front and side gauges. Based on the control signals, the servo motors change the moving positions of the front and side gauge stop plates to achieve paper-plate registration.
