  9. BladeAssembly(7)刀的安置 • G) Deflection i) Press and holder design enables to attain the required parallelism and stiffness. ii) Directly related to pressure, doctor blade thickness and back-up blade thickness. iii) The wear on a gravure printing cylinder is caused mostly by doctor blade wiping action.

  10. BladeAssembly(8)刀的安置 • G) Deflection iii) The wear on a gravure printing cylinder is caused mostly by doctor blade wiping action. iv)when the press is in motion, doctor blade is deflected.

  11. BladeAssembly(9)刀的安置 • H) Lamella i) 50µm mainly for films, foils, publication printing ii) 75µm mainly for general packaging, paper board, décor printing iii) 100µm mainly for Flexo, ANILOX, coatings iv) 125µm mainly for Flexo, ANILOX in conjunction with ceramic rolls

  12. Doctor Blade Wear (1) 刮墨刀的损耗 >Wear - deterioration of surface through use, is affected by a variety of conditions. 1) Amount of loading 2) Reacts differently with each application. A) Adhesive i) Caused by the shearing action of micro-contacts formed between the two surface roughness that carry the load between the blade and cylinder. ii) occurs because of failure of the ink film, which should separate the two surfaces.

  13. Doctor Blade Wear (2)刮墨刀的损耗 B) Abrasive (cutting wear) i) Occurs whenever hard particles are present between the blade and print cylinder as they rub against one another. ii) Gravure inks areformulated to be as non-abrasive but some pigments - inorganic ones, are inherently more abrasive than others.

  14. Doctor Blade Wear (3)刮墨刀的损耗 i) Potentially abrasive particles include: 1) Ink pigment 2) Insoluble vehicle particles 3) Dried ink 4) Rust from solvent lines 6) Paper dust 7) Particles of clay coating 8) Doctor blade particle 9) Chromium chips from the print cylinder.

  15. Doctor Blade Wear (4)刮墨刀的损耗 ii) In-line filtering on press - to reduce the abrasive hazards iii) Abrasive contaminants is tested with an abrasiveness tester iv) Abrasiveness test equipment and procedures are available from GGA and other sources v) Excessive dumping of solvent into the ink fountain can cause local precipitation or pigment flocculation -wiping problems

  16. Doctor Blade Wear (5) • C) Fatigue i) Cracking of the doctor blade owing to cyclic pressure being applied during use ii) caused by a rough or damaged spot on the end radius of a print cylinder iii) With the high grade steel now used for doctor blades - this is seldom a problem.

  17. Doctor Blade Wear (6)刮墨刀的损耗 • D) Corrosion Chemical damage to the doctor blade, or damage through friction with a print cylinder damaged by oxidation or other chemical reactions. i) Occurs if corrosive material gets into the ink, creating blisters or pitting in the chrome surface. ii) Corroded by rust formation of water base inks 1) PH is too acidic 2) Too alkaline 3) After an overnight shutdown. iii) Prevention - Use of stainless steel blades

  33. Blade Setting Procedure (2)刮墨刀设置程序 2) Contact angle

  34. Blade Setting Procedure (3)刮墨刀设置程序 • 3) Blade to Nip distance

  35. Cylinder Consideration (1)印版的考虑 i) Uniform Diameter Cylinder with erratic geometry size will cause 1) Doctor blade wear 2) Cylinder wear

  36. Cylinder Consideration (2)印版的考虑 ii) Polishing and Cleaning Engravings A) Polishing 1) Un-engraved areas are machine polished or honed with water lubricated stone to f4 or (SAE standard) 2) Chromium plating in gravure cylinders has microscopic “crack” needs surface polishing 3) Non-polish cause damage to doctor in few revolution B) Cleaning Prior to chromium – as engraved debris may stay.

  37. Cylinder Consideration (3)印版的考虑 iii) Ceramic Coating on Cylinder Highly durability on plasma-sprayed ceramic coated with engraved needs carefully polished

  38. Cylinder Consideration (4)印版的考虑 iv) “Running in” cylinders on Press • Cylinders in a “run in” position for several minutes on a press, accepting some waste until streaking and scratching disappeared. Sandpaper polishing required.

  39. Cylinder Consideration (4)印版的考虑 v) Rounding Cylinder Ends (Radius) • Minimize doctor blade wear • Minimize excessive bending • Fatiguing doctor blade • Doctor blade breaks on rough cylinders ends

  40. Blade Edge Configurations (1)刀角边配置 i) Pre- Finished blade 1) Hand- finished blades are beveled at 45 ° 2) Sharpened wiping edges de-burred and slightly rounded

  41. Blade Edge Configurations (2)刀角边配置 ii) Machine Finished 1) Honed and lapped doctor blade – between 11 and 35° with rounded tip 2) Edge is grinded to form a “lamella” 3) All pre- machine blade type worn unevenly by various portions of the cylinder. 4) Pre- machine configuration are not perfectly straight, owing to the nature of strip steel production. 5) Pre- honed doctor blades are packaged in dispenser boxes – provide safety and prevent damage.

  42. Lubricants (1) 润滑 • Advantages of lubricants • Gravure inks possess lubricant to minimize doctor blade and cylinder wears i) Type of lubricants 1) Plasticizing oils 2) Fatty acids 3) Pigment - wetting

  43. Lubricants (2)润滑 ii) Ink Hazing 1) Dark and strong colours will show a slight haze or scum more readily than light colours or tints. Changing the blade angle can sometimes improve wiping efficiency. 2) Cylinder needed polish when hazing that doctor blade adjustment cannot be corrected

  44. Lubricants (3)润滑 iii) Drying Speed Effect 1) Too fast drying contributes to doctor blade and cylinder wear 2) Ink drying speed can be cured by adding slower- evaporating solvent

  45. Lubricants (4)润滑 iv) Abrasion Problems 1) Opaque white ink which contains titanium oxide are more abrasion.

  46. Preparing Blades for Use (1)预备使用墨刀 I) Preparation • Doctor blade are mounted : clamped, back-up blade
