Patent number: 8418614Abstract: A method for calibrating a rotary printing press, in which a bearing structure for a printing cylinder is adjusted relative to another component of the printing press, and positions of the bearing structure are measured, including the steps of mounting a calibration tool on a mandrel that is supported in the bearing structure, the calibration tool having at least one contact sensitive switch, moving the bearing structure until the at least one switch contacts the other component, and upon detection of a signal from the at least one switch, storing a measured position of the bearing structure as a reference position.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2008Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Fischer & Krecke GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Gordon Whitelaw, Wolfgang Brusdeilins

Publication number: 20100018419Abstract: A method of adjusting a roller (18) in a rotary printing press (10), includes the steps of a) mounting the roller (18) in a preparation rack (24) so as to be rotatably supported therein, b) scanning the peripheral surface of the roller, thereby to detect a topography of the roller surface, c) deriving set data for the adjustment of the roller from the topography, and storing the set data, d) mounting the roller in the printing press (10), and e) adjusting the roller in accordance with the set data.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2007Publication date: January 28, 2010Applicant: FISCHER & KRECKE GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Gordon Whitelaw, Georg Grautoff, Andreas Kückelmann

Patent number: 7513197Abstract: A method of exchanging printing units at a running rotary printing press, wherein a first printing unit is withdrawn from the printing medium, and a second printing unit for printing the same image with the same register is set against the printing medium, includes the steps of applying to the printing cylinder of the second printing unit, prior to start of the printing operation, a register printing block elevated relative to the regular printing block; prior to changeover of the printing units, setting the second printing unit against the printing medium such that register marks print with the register printing block without an image printing with the regular printing block; detecting register marks and adjusting the second printing unit register by reference to the detected register mark; and with the register adjusted, exchanging the printing units by withdrawing the first printing unit and setting the second printing unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2006Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Fischer & Krecke GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Andreas Kückelmann, Wolfgang Brusdeilins, Gordon Whitelaw
