Patent number: 8757534Abstract: A reel changer of a printing press has a securing assembly for a safety area. The safety area extends on a receiving end or on a dispensing side of the reel changer at least over the entire width to the end-face side frames. These side frames comprise vertically supported frame parts and optionally also include switch boxes end or side boxes that are arranged directly on the side frames. The safety area is substantially completely enclosed by the reel changer and by one or more connected units and or mechanical blocking devices and by one or more sensor-monitored access assemblies in such a way that operators can enter during operation only by the use of the one or more monitored access assemblies. A control element for controlling functions of the reel changer is physically separate from the reel changer and is arranged at a distance from the side frames at a location that can be reached by an operator positioned outside the safety area.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Koenig & Bauer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Erwin Paul Josef Lehrieder, Klaus Karl Muller, Josef Herbert Olbort

Patent number: 8347785Abstract: A web offset press includes several printing units through which a web passes essentially in a horizontal direction. The printed web then passes to at least one first folding unit. Each of the printing units has at least one plate cylinder and one transfer cylinder which interacts with the web being printed. An effective plate width of the plate cylinder corresponds to the print image of at least eight upright or prone printed pages in a BIN 4A format. The printed web is slit longitudinally into a plurality of web strands: A first number of these web strands are supplied to the first folding apparatus. At the same time, a second number of web strands, produced by the slitting of the same web, are supplied to a second folding apparatus for further processing.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2009Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Koenig & Bauer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andreas Ewald Heinrich Bernard, Klaus Ludwig Christmann, Burkard Otto Herbert, Bernd Ulrich Herbert Keller, Erwin Paul Josef Lehrieder, Klaus Walter Röder, Karl Robert Schäfer

Device and a method for feeding a material web to a printing unit of a web-fed rotary printing press
Patent number: 7975608Abstract: A device is usable for feeding a material web to a press unit of a web-fed rotary press having a reel carrier which carries a material reel and which is mounted next to the machine line. At least one deflection rod is arranged in the web transport path between the reel carrier and the press unit. The deflection rod is angled at 45° with respect to the transport direction of the web which wraps onto it. In at least a wraparound angular region of the material web, the deflection rod has outlet openings which are configured as micro-openings for the passage of a pressurized fluid. The mean diameter of these micro openings is, at most 500 ?m. When the material web is moving about the deflection rod, the micro openings are provided with pressurized fluid on a length which is greater than the width of the region which is covered by the material web which wraps around it.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2007Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Koenig & Bauer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Peter Franz Beck, Erwin Paul Josef Lehrieder -

Publication number: 20110099114Abstract: An accompanying document for a printing substrate, which is to be printed in a printing press, is configured as an electronic data set that is stored in a memory of an RFID tag. Data relating to a production-preparatory generation of an adhesive surface, on the printing substrate to be fed to the printing press, is written into the data set. Data relating to the manufacturer of the printing substrate of to its supplier, and data relating to the manufacture of the printing substrate are also written into the data set. In the case of a commercial unit having a printing substrate that has been only partially printed during a production run of the printing press, the data set can be supplemented with data which, at least, characterizes an event. The event could relate to a break in the printing substrate or to changes to the commercial unit which occurred during the production process that was implemented in the printing press using the printing substrate of the commercial unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2010Publication date: April 28, 2011Inventor: Erwin Paul Josef Lehrieder

Patent number: 7832682Abstract: A material roll is transported to a roll changer by being arranged on a transport carriage. The material roll and transport carriage are placed on a transfer table which is moved into position between journal bearings of the roll changer. The transfer table is adapted to move the material roll transversely and along a longitudinal axis of the material roll and can pivot in a horizontal plane. An inclined position of the material roll, arranged on the transfer table, is determined by sensors. In this determined, axially aligned position, the material roll is axially aligned on the bearing journals. The roll size of the material is determined. An axially aligned position for roller support arms of a roll carrier of the roll changer is determined as a function of the determined roll size. An axially aligned position of the transfer table is determined as a function of the determined roll size and the determined inclined position of the material roll.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2006Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Koenig & Bauer AktiengesellschaftInventors: Martin Richard Keller, Erwin Paul Josef Lehrieder, Walter Ritter, Klaus Walter Röder
