  • Patent number: 6615716
    Abstract: A flexographic rotary printing machine has a supporting structure provided with two lateral shoulders, an impression roller over which a material in sheet form to be printed passes, at least one printing element or assembly arranged adjacent to the impression roller and having an inking unit, a printing plate cylinder and an anilox roller, which are sleeve cylinders, and a drive for transmitting motion between the impression roller and each printing assembly. At each shoulder there is at least one lateral support device for the advancement-retraction of the sleeve cylinders, adapted to move them between a retracted or resting position, in which a respective sleeve can be inserted or removed, and an advanced or active position, in which the cylinders are kept in contact with, and operatively connected to, the impression roller.
