ABSTRACT A corrugated paper arrangement for manufacturing printed corrugated paper cuts, in which a corrugated paper machine has an integrated rotary printing machine with several printing stations, and at least one longitudinal cutter and at least one transverse cutter. The printing stations are integrated to serve for printing a paper web with laterally adjacent areas of different width and length, which are inpidually or in groups connectable with the drive of the arrangement. The printing stations carry for each area, printing forms mounted on an endless exchangeable carrier band of different lengths. Several longitudinal cutters and trans- verse cutters or punching presses are provided for the different area lengths.57214

CORRUGATED  PAPER  INSTALLATION  FOR MANUFACTURING  OF PRINTED  CORRUGATING PAPER  CUTS WITH  A CORRUGATED  PAPER MACHINE AND A ROTARY PRINTING  MACHINE INTEGRATED  THEREIN

The present application is a continuation-in-part of the parent application Ser. No.931,186, filed Aug. 4, 1978.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a corrugated paper installation for making printed corrugated paper cuts with a corrugated paper machine and a therein integrated rotary printing machine having several printing stages as well as with at least one longitudinal cutter and at least one transverse cutter or a punching press.

Such installations are known for relatively small bandwidths. For example, a roller printing machine may be integrated in a corrugated paper installation. The form cylinders extend over the width of the paper web to be printed, so that the paper web is printed first in the installation via the integrated printing stages, and then combined with a corrugated paper web to form the 25 corrugated paper. In this manner, printed patterns up to approximately 8€D mm widths can be applied to a corrugated paper web. It is also possible to arrange several identical printed pictures with identical pattern repeat adjacent one another, if the inpidual printed picture has a correspondingly lower width.

If a switch is now to be made from one printed picture to another printed picture, then the entire installation must be shut down in order to exchange the form cylinders.  After the installation of the new form cylinders in the rotary printing machine the production on the corrugated paper installation can be started up again. In this installation it is a disadvantage that a change of the printed picture can be effected only by interrupting the production of the corrugated paper installation that this additionally requires a relatively long time.

If several identical pattern repeats are printed next to each other, then a longitudinal cutter is provided at the end of the installation which severs the printed corru-45 gated paper web lengthwise. The inpidual repeats are then severed by transverse cutters or rotary punches.

It is also known to use a preprinted web in a roller carrier of a corrugated paper installation and to com- bine this web with the other layers of the corrugated paper in a laminating station. This known technique makes it possible to increase the width of the corrugated paper web up to about 16tXl mm. However, here also the conversion is time consuming and expensive be- tween the inpidual runs. Here, also, the production of the corrugated paper installation must be interrupted if a new web with other printed pictures is to be laminated. In addition, the transverse cutters must be newly adjusted.

A rotary is known from German Patent No. 426,349 with which it is possible, for example, to print a paper web by means of several printing stages with respectively different pattern repeats in sequence, in order to obtain a pattern repeat length which differs from the repeat length which is determined by the circumference of the form cylinders. Here, one printing stage after the other is utilized. From this patent it is also known that the inpidual printing stages print upon a rubber cloth which passes between a printing and counter-pressure roller and acts as an intermediate carrier for the inpidual printed pictures before it transmits these to the material being printed. 瓦楞纸机和旋转印刷机英文文献和中文翻译:http://www.youerw.com/fanyi/lunwen_61831.html
