Patent number: 9744776Abstract: A device for printing on multi-dimensional objects includes an object carrier for holding and moving the object to be printed on, a tool carrier for receiving stationary processing tools, and a frame to which the tool carrier is fixed. The object carrier has three guide tracks which are disposed perpendicular to one another and each of which is oriented along a respective axis of movement. Carriages are movable on the guide tracks for executing a translatory movement of the object relative to the stationary processing tools. The device may have a modular construction, allowing the device to be adapted to a variety of objects to be printed on.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Markus Moehringer, Henning Niggemann

Patent number: 9616680Abstract: A device for printing on a surface of an object contains a stationary printing unit for printing on the object. The printing unit contains an inkjet print head for creating a print on the surface of the object in an operating area of the print head. A movable holding unit is provided for receiving the object in a receiving region and for a rotary movement of the object from the receiving region into the operating area of the print head and for a linear movement of the object in the operating area of the print head during the creation of the print. At least one control unit is provided for controlling the movements of the holding unit and the creation of the print.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2016Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Markus Moehringer, Henning Niggemann

Patent number: 9194467Abstract: An apparatus for the vertical adjustment of combined front/top lays in a sheet processing machine includes a front/top lay carrier shaft carrying the front/top lays jointly in such a way that it can be pivoted with respect to a front/top lay drive shaft, or thrust joints disposed in carriers or coupling links for the front/top lays in such a way that they effect a lengthening of the carriers or coupling links in order to adjust the front/top lays. A sheet-fed rotary printing press having the apparatus, is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2014Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: HEIDELBERGER DRUCKMASCHINEN AGInventors: Andreas Mueller, Henning Niggemann, Burkhard Wolf

Patent number: 8794148Abstract: A printing press includes an assembly and a cam mechanism for moving at least one part of the assembly. A cam of the cam mechanism has a curvature course with points, in particular bends or jumps, which are not constantly differentiable within a movement region of the cam. The cam mechanism can include an actuator for the temporal displacement of jolts which are induced by the points that are not constantly differentiable to the at least one part of the assembly. An adaptation of the movement which is produced to the operating state of the printing press is possible, with the result that a considerable reduction can be achieved in vibrations for all printing speeds.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2009Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Martin Baureis, Bernhard Buck, Siegfried Kurtzer, Stefan Mutschall, Henning Niggemann, Malte Seidler

Publication number: 20120297995Abstract: A gripper control gearing has a reduced complexity for providing adjustments. Stops are provided on a reversing drum for a slide that supports cam rollers. Pinions with a helical toothing are arranged on a gripper shaft and on a gripper tube. Such a simplified arrangement allows for easier adjustments of the gripper system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 17, 2012Publication date: November 29, 2012Applicant: HEIDELBERGER DRUCKMASCHINEN AGInventor: HENNING NIGGEMANN
