Abstract: A device is provided for engaging and/or disengaging a roller with or from a first mating roller. The device includes a second mating roller, with which the roller is engaged, and with a basic unit, with which the roller can be moved to or away from the first mating roller in the circumferential direction of the second mating roller. A process for engaging and/or disengaging a roller of a printing press with or from a first mating roller is provided wherein the roller is engaged with a second mating roller and the roller is guided in the circumferential direction of the second mating roller in the state in which it is engaged with the second mating roller.

Abstract: A tensing means for a tensing channel of a cylinder body comprises a clamping piece for clamping a first cover end and for clamping a second cover end between the clamping piece and a tensing piece, wherein at least one contact region of the clamping piece and/or tensing piece, used to clamp a cover end or printing cylinder end, is formed to be roughly linear.

Abstract: A clamping device for clamping a flexible packing (2, 3) of a cylinder (1) of a printing press, which cylinder has an axial channel (6) on a jacket surface, the clamping device includes a clamping body (10), which has a surface (S) that forms in the channel (6) with an opposite surface (4) a clamping gap for at least one end of the packing (2, 3) protruding through an opening (7) of the channel (6). A pressing device (13; 14; 10a) presses the clamping body (10) and the opposite surface (4) against each other with a clamping force (F). A mounting device (12; 14; 1, 8), which forms a support surface (9; 14?; 9?), touches the clamping body (10) and the clamping body (10) is supported on it.

Abstract: A printing machine including a printing film carrier on which a first printing film and a second printing film can be applied, offset with respect to each other in an axial direction, and comprising a suction device which comprises: a first suction cup for the first printing film; a second suction cup, arranged offset with respect to the first suction cup in the axial direction, for the second printing film; and a system for charging the suction cups with a negative pressure or relieving the negative pressure, independently of each other.

Abstract: A clamping device is provided for clamping a flexible packing of a cylinder of a printing press, which cylinder has an axial channel on a jacket surface. The clamping device has a clamping body (10; 20; 25), which forms a clamping gap in the channel (6) with a first opposite surface (4) for at least one end of the packing (2, 3), which end protrudes through a opening (7) of the channel (6). Two channel walls face the first opposite surface (4), and one of which forms a second opposite surface (5) and the other forms a third opposite surface (9). At the surfaces the clamping body (10; 20; 25) is supported touching the wall or walls. At least one clamping body (10; 20; 25) and the opposite surfaces (4, 5, 9) form a spring (10; 20; 14; 15). The force of elasticity of the spring (10; 20; 14; 15) tensions the clamping body (10; 20; 25) and the first opposite surface (4) toward each other in order to clamp the at least one end of the packing (2, 3) with the packing (2, 3) pulled in.

Abstract: A rotary printing machine has blanket cylinders and plate cylinders, which are integrated in pairs into cylinder groups by a mechanical coupling for their joint drive. Such a cylinder group is driven by a separate drive motor.

Abstract: A process and device for synchronizing a cylinder of a printing press, which is pivoted up to its countercylinder, and to a shaft encoder suitable for carrying out this process.

Abstract: A metering blade for zonally metering a liquid film comprises a plate body having a working edge usable in an arrangement in which the setting member bears against the plate body and bridges a portion thereof against a rotating roller comprises a blade with a plurality of zonal setting portions of a material capable of being displaced by resilient flection adapted to be arranged adjacent a setting member which includes intermediate portions between a working edge and the opposite edge compensating for the setting wherein the setting portions are at least 3 mm in thickness and each intermediate portion includes a web part having a thickness which is not more than 1/5th the thickness of the setting portion and has a width amounting to at least five times the thickness of the web. The blade has a working edge with a reinforcement adjacent each web.
