Abstract: The invention relates to a method for verifying a printing plate, specifically a gravure cylinder, for errors in an engraving of the printing plate, comprising the following steps: Generating at least two proofs using a printing plate to be verified, capturing at least one digital image each of the at least two proofs with an image-capturing unit, comparing each of the digital images of the at least two proofs with the engraving template of the printing plate, wherein the comparison comprises the following steps: Detecting deviations between each of the images and the engraving template, and verifying that the detected deviations occur in identical fashion on the digital images of all of the at least two proofs, wherein a pseudo error is indicated if the comparison does not show identical deviations between the digital images of the at least two proofs, and wherein identical deviations indicate an engraving defect in the printing plate.

Abstract: A compact roll arrangement has a device and method for regulating the roll nip so that intermittently coated films may be calendared precisely. A bearing block is arranged in a bearing jewel, and first lever arms of the clamping latch of the upper roll and the lower roll are connected rigidly to one another. Bearing jewels which lie opposite to one another, of the upper roll and the lower roll are connected to one another via a second actuating element. A controller acts on first and second actuating elements, so that the first actuating elements are moved to adjust the roll nip according to a predetermined thrust and a predetermined linear load, and the second actuating elements are moved to maintain the bearing jewels in a relative rest position which is defined by specified densification of a material web passing the roll nip.

Abstract: A roll arrangement having a device for regulating the roll nip, comprising a roll pair which consists of an upper roll and a lower roll, between which a roll nip is formed, wherein each roll is provided with two roll journals which lie axially diametrically opposite one another; at least two bearing blocks for each roll journal, wherein one or more bearings are received in a bearing block; and a bearing block, which lies in each case on the outside on the roll journal, in a clamping latch which has a first lever arm and a second lever arm, wherein the second lever arm of the respective clamping latch of the upper roll and the second lever arm of the respective clamping latch of the lower roll are connected to one another via a first actuating element; mutually corresponding bearing jewels and clamping latches of the upper roll and the lower roll lie opposite one another; and a controller which acts on the first and the second actuating element, is characterized in that the bearing block which lies in each cas

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an absorbent fiber product, starting with a parent fiber product that comprises fibers that, on the one hand, lie at a statistical distance from one another and, on the other hand, make contact with one another at contact points. The method comprises treating the parent fiber product with a fluid medium in such a way that the fibers are at least partially wetted and the fluid medium is then rapidly evaporated by irradiation, so that the evaporation pressure generated by the evaporating fluid medium has a kinematic effect on the fibers, which increases the distance between them. In this way the risk of inadvertent, in particular, thermal damage to the fibers is eliminated. Furthermore, the intrinsic fiber structure is left unaffected, or is only affected in a controlled manner. This prevents the uncontrolled destruction of the fiber structure and a detrimental effect on the fiber product, for example, to its tear resistance when wet.

Abstract: An expandable layer made of compressible material placed in a rotary printing from between a core cylinder and a sleeve. An embodiment includes depressions on the outer circumferential surface and/or the inner circumferential surface of the expandable layer. The depressions can be, at least partly, fashioned as open circumferential annular channels. In addition, at least some of the depressions and annular channels can be arranged according to a required bending compensation of the sleeve. In another embodiment, an initial section of the depressions stretches in an axial direction on the expandable layer and a subsequent section of the depressions stretches in a radial direction over the expandable layer, whereby a part of the material of the expandable layer can be displaced in the depressions and at least a portion of the depressions is arranged according to a required bending compensation of the sleeve.

Abstract: A turning lathe for interior cutting of hollow work pieces using a boring rod onto which a tool holder device is fitted and on which there is a mechanism for holding a work piece in such a way that it encloses at least part of the boring rod characterized by the fact that the boring rod is gripped and held in place at both ends and by the fact that the tool holder device is fitted onto the boring rod in such a way that it is movable.

Abstract: A rotary screen printing apparatus with at least one circular screen, one wiper, and one pipe for supplying the dye or color to the respectively lowermost segment of the inner side of the screen and over the width thereof, with the web of material being guided at an incline or vertically, and with the wiper device, when viewed in the direction of rotation of the screen, being spaced from and arranged after the supply pipe for the dye. Discharge openings of the supply pipe for the dye are distributed over the length of the pipe, which is arranged directly over the inner side of the screen, and is selectively connectible with a dye conveyor or a dye withdrawal pump. Alternatively, a separate withdrawal pipe may be provided for withdrawing excess dye.
