Abstract: A printing press is comprised of at least one printing cylinder. A displaceable inking unit and a displaceable plate changing device can alternatingly be placed against the printing cylinder or can be moved out of contact with it. The inking unit and the plate changing device are coupled together so that their respective displacements are accomplished by a common drive. The two move in opposite directions with respect to the printing cylinder and may be connected together. Alternatively, each may have its own drive, with the two drives being coupled together by a common controller.

Abstract: A doctor blade device (01) for cleaning a surface has a doctor blade (03) and a tub (09) for receiving the material stripped from the surface by the doctor blade. The doctor blade is movable between a position in which it projects out of an opening (13) of the tub and a position in which it is submerged in the tub. A closure element (07) closes the opening in the submerged position of the doctor blade.

Abstract: Device (01) and method for cleaning a cylinder (02) or a roller (02) of a printing machine using a cleaning agent web (03), wherein provided for the cleaning agent web (03) is a first supply roll (04) and a second supply roll (07), and wherein a winding device (06) for advancing the cleaning agent web (03) section by section can be driven in rotation. The radius of at least one supply roll (04; 07) is detected by a measuring device (19, 21) and the magnitude of the rotary movement of the winding device (06) as the cleaning agent web (03) is advanced section by section is changed as a function of the radius of the supply roll (04, 07).

Abstract: A flexible plate, such as a printing plate or a blanket support plate, is clamped on the surface of a cylinder by rotation of a clamping spindle that carries a movable plate end suspension lip. The clamping spindle is shiftably supported in the cylinder and moves radially out with respect to the cylinder as a full clamping torque is applied to it.
