AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing digital printing presses have difficulty effectively compensating for deviations in the diameter of the alignment rollers caused by manufacturing defects or wear during the printing process, which affects the accurate alignment of printed pages.

Method used

In the alignment station, a first sensor is used to detect the pages and align them with the alignment roller. A second sensor is used to detect the page position again in the printing station entrance area. The signal is input to the adjustment circuit to correct the alignment station. Precise alignment is achieved by asynchronously driving the alignment roller and slider to move laterally.

Benefits of technology

By using sensor detection and adjusting the circuit for correction, the diameter deviation of the alignment roller can be effectively compensated, ensuring accurate alignment of printed pages and improving printing quality.

Abstract

In a method for operating a digital printing press, sheets (4) are aligned in an alignment station (1) and then printed in a printing station (2). The sheets (4) are detected in an alignment station (1) by means of first sensors (11, 12) and aligned by means of alignment rollers (15, 16). The sheet (4) is detected again by means of a second sensor (22, 23) after its alignment in the alignment station (1), and the signal of the second sensor (22, 23) is used to adjust the alignment station (1). The invention further relates to a digital printing machine suitable for carrying out the operating method.
