Abstract
A method for controlling at least one control parameter from a number of parameters of an inking unit of a printing press is disclosed. Based on at least the control parameter, a value of an ink density on a substrate to be printed by the printing press is calculated by an inking unit model and the calculated value is used as input quantity for controlling instead of an actual value. Here, the calculated value is exclusively calculated based on a number of parameters of the inking unit at least at times.
Claims19
A method for controlling at least one control parameter from a number of parameters of an inking unit of a printing press, wherein based on at least the control parameter, a calculated value of an ink density on a substrate to be printed by the printing press is calculated by an inking unit model, and wherein, instead of an actual value, the calculated value is used as an input quantity for controlling, and wherein at least at times the calculated value is exclusively calculated based on a number of parameters of the inking unit.
A method for controlling a printing press, comprising the steps of:
- calculating a value of an ink density producible by an inking unit by an inking unit model based exclusively on a control parameter of the inking unit of the printing press;
- and
- using the calculated value as an input for controlling the inking unit instead of using a measured value of an ink density produced by the inking unit.
A printing press, comprising:
- an inking unit;
- a controller coupled to the inking unit;
- and
- an inking unit model coupled to the controller, wherein the inking unit model calculates a value of an ink density producible by the inking unit based exclusively on a control parameter of the inking unit and wherein the calculated value is used as an input to the controller for controlling the inking unit instead of using a measured value of an ink density produced by the inking unit.
