Abstract: A production unit for a printing material processing machine includes a drive, a computer, a cylinder and an associated impression cylinder having a circumference different from that of the cylinder. Provision is made to detect an increase in drive torque on the cylinder and to calculate therefrom a differential angle of rotation varying at least over one revolution between the cylinder and the impression cylinder in the computer, to be used to actuate the drive of the cylinder. A printing press having at least one production unit is also provided.

Abstract: A sheet-fed printing press contains a dryer that is oriented at a cylinder and has a concave contour that is adapted to the cylinder. The dryer is subdivided into a blower part and an air guiding part. The concave contour is formed on the air guiding part and the blower part is mounted so as to be displaceable relative to the air guiding part.

Abstract: A sheet-fed rotary printing press has at least one unit which includes an impression cylinder and an additional cylinder assigned to the impression cylinder. The impression cylinder and the additional cylinder are relatively adjustable a spaced distance from one another. A sheet guiding device is disposed on the additional cylinder for keeping sheets of printing material, which have been transported by the impression cylinder past the additional cylinder, away from the additional cylinder, once the spaced distance between the impression cylinder and the additional cylinder has been set.

Abstract: A sheet-guiding device has a sheet-guiding element for a sheet-fed printing machine having an impression cylinder and a further cylinder adjacent thereto, the sheet-guiding element being disposed for guiding a sheet transported by the impression cylinder when the further cylinder is set-off from the impression cylinder. The further cylinder includes a cylinder selected from the group thereof consisting of an applicator cylinder for applying ink or varnish, respectively, to a sheet lying on the impression cylinder, and a tool cylinder for applying a finishing step to a sheet lying on the impression cylinder. The sheet-guiding element is disposed separately from the further cylinder and covers an impression zone of the impression cylinder.

Abstract: A sheet-fed rotary printing machine has a plurality of units arranged in tandem, at least one of the units including a first cylinder for transporting a sheet and a second cylinder disposed opposite the first cylinder, the first cylinder and the second cylinder being mounted so as to be disengageable from one another; the second cylinder being stoppable and having a device by which an outer portion of the second cylinder is displaceable; and a method of transporting a sheet through a unit of the printing machine.

Abstract: A device for applying a liquid to a print carrier sheet in a sheet-fed rotary printing machine. The device has an applicator cylinder, an impression cylinder assigned to the latter and at least one gripper. The applicator cylinder carries a cylinder sleeve which applies the liquid to the print carrier and which has at least one recess, into which the gripper penetrates when the applicator cylinder and the impression cylinder roll one on the other.

Abstract: Device for processing a viscous fluid for finishing printing products in a finishing unit of a rotary printing press, the finishing unit having a plurality of rollers suppliable with the fluid at least at one feeding location thereof, and a plurality of cylinders suppliable with the fluid by the plurality of rollers, includes a device for collecting the fluid from the one feeding location thereof, the plurality of rollers including a metering roller engageable with one of the cylinders for feeding the fluid thereto, another roller of the plurality of rollers being in cooperative engagement with the metering roller and with the collecting device for feeding the fluid to the metering roller.

Abstract: A sheet feeder, provided at a printing machine, has continuously conveying transport tapes to which transport rollers are engaged. The transport tapes and the transport rollers convey overlappingly fed sheets to a front guide, wherein the last transport rollers, provided upstream of the front guide, are adjustable with respect to the sheet format being processed. There are also additional driving rollers which may be pivoted into contact with the transport tapes in order to process minimum size sheet formats.
