Application of the hottest nano laser in anilox ro

The application of nano and laser in corrugated roller (II)

in the manufacturing of corrugated roller, in addition to nano and laser high-tech, a new graphite carbon fiber material has been developed in the aerospace industry in recent years. Because of its light and hard characteristics, it is popular in the manufacturing industry. The carbon fiber roll core invented in 1994 was soon applied to the wrinkle roll core of flexo printing, becoming a new generation of highly advantageous wrinkle roll. Although the steel roll has long been the most preferred material for the corrugated roll because of its physical properties, such as strength, machinability and durability, the corrugated roll made of this carbon fiber roll core instead of the traditional steel roll core has twice the strength and 1/10 the weight of the steel roll

the corrugated roller with carbon fiber roll core has the following advantages after trial:

: (1) because the corrugated roller with carbon fiber roll is particularly light, it is easy to deal with in roll replacement and reduces the labor force. (2) In the process of changing the roll, the carbon fiber corrugated roll is not easy to be damaged, which can save a lot of money due to the need to re engrave the new roll

(3) in the driving part of the printing machine, the total weight of the carbon fiber corrugated roller is 1/10 of the weight of the steel roller, which is conducive to reducing the friction between the rollers and improving the service life of the corrugated roller, thus reducing the downtime and improving the productivity. When the speed of the printing machine reaches 3000 sheets/hour, the difference between the steel roll and the carbon fiber corrugated roll is more obvious. The steel core corrugated roll has a great jump, and it is not able to maintain the field image in its central part, while the carbon fiber corrugated roll can maintain the field image on the whole roll surface. Although carbon fiber corrugated roller is light and hard, its offset is less than 1/10 of that of steel core roller. The biggest advantage of this feature greatly improves the printing quality of large flexographic printing machines. High tech in roller cleaning

roller is a very precise mechanical component. Many holes with the same shape are evenly distributed on the surface, which plays the role of ink storage, ink uniformity and quantitative ink transfer in printing. Because the holes on the embossing roller are very small and delicate, and the amount of ink filled in the ink holes can be transferred to the printing plate is only about 70% - 80%, and the remaining ink remains in the holes. In the process of ink transfer, due to the drying up of the remaining ink, impurities in the ink and many other reasons, it will block the holes and make the ink transfer poor, which not only affects the printing quality, but also the long-term use of the corrugated roller with blocked holes will increase the loss of ink and shorten the service life of the corrugated roller. Therefore, great attention should be paid to the maintenance and cleaning of the corrugated roller in use

there are currently four commonly used methods in roller cleaning:

chemical cleaning method (such as chemical solvent brushing method, chemical solution soaking method)

physical cleaning methods (such as medium blowing cleaning method; low pressure spray cleaning method; dry ice cleaning method; plastic bead spray cleaning method, etc.)

ultrasonic cleaning method; Laser cleaning method, etc

laser cleaning is a high-tech method that can automatically open in recent years

laser cleaning technology refers to irradiating the high-energy laser beam on the surface of the roller through a special lens, and without damaging the wall of the roller hole, making the residual ink, adhesive, wax, silicone, steel chips and other residues on the surface and in the hole instantly vaporize or form solid powder stripping, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning and purification. The laser cleaning method can be used to clean the wrinkle roll with more than 1200 lines/inch without damaging the hole wall. With high specific strength, it can completely and thoroughly remove the dry ink, adhesives, plates and steel scraps of scrapers. Compared with traditional cleaning technology, laser cleaning technology has the following characteristics:

: (1) it is a "dry" cleaning, which does not need cleaning solution or other chemical solutions, so there is no environmental pollution caused by chemical cleaning, and the cleanliness is relatively ideal

(2) the range of dirt removal and applicable substrate is very wide

(3) laser cleaning is a kind of non-contact processing, which can easily realize remote operation. For example, through optical fiber transmission, it can clean parts that are not easy to reach by some methods. And it can avoid the defect that the close operation of the traditional cleaning method has mechanical force on the surface of the cleaned object, which is easy to damage the surface of the object

(4) by adjusting and controlling the laser process fixture, in fact, the fixture does not have to use hydraulic pressure, unless the weight of the sample measured by your experimental machine is particularly large. Because it is not easy to operate manually, the manual fixture is different. It is relatively convenient to use and the operation is more reliable. Therefore, the best-selling fixture in the fixture industry is the manual fixture. For the equipment, the more humanized parameters, on the basis of not damaging the surface of the substrate, Effectively remove different types of pollutants on the surface of materials, making the surface as clean as new. In addition, laser cleaning can also easily realize automatic operation, which is in line with intelligent printing

(5) laser cleaning equipment can be used for a long time. Generally, it only needs electricity and maintenance costs, and the operation cost of long-term use is relatively low

(6) laser cleaning technology is a "green" cleaning common fault 4: process, which basically does not cause pollution to the environment. The research of laser cleaning technology started in the mid-1980s, but it did not really enter industrial production until the early 1990s. In addition to the cleaning of corrugated rollers, laser cleaning technology has been widely used in a variety of cleaning technologies in industries, electronics, cultural relics and many other fields, and there is a trend to gradually replace traditional cleaning methods. The laser cleaning technology of corrugated rollers has been widely used in the United States. It will promote flexographic printing to the direction of high quality products and wide range of applications
