Abstract: An apparatus for producing a printing form which, with little expenditure, permits exact beam alignment and positioning. The apparatus for producing the printing form contains a holder for at least one printing form blank, and at least one imaging module, which can be moved relative to the printing form blank and which contains at least one radiation source which, in order to produce image elements that accept printing ink, is aimed at the surface of the printing form blank and whose beam direction can be adjusted. The imaging module being accommodated in a six-point mounting in three bearing locations, each bearing location containing a spherical element and an associated bearing element and in each case the spherical element rests on it and, in order to adjust the beam direction, at least one element of one bearing location being disposed adjustably.

Abstract: A device for producing a printing form includes a printing form carrier, a holder and an imaging head fixed to the holder. The imaging head has at least one radiation source and is positionable along a printing form blank for directing radiation onto the printing form blank for producing printing ink-accepting image points in accordance with an image. A tempering or temperature control configuration is provided for the holder.

Abstract: A device for producing a printing form includes a radiation source for emitting at least one imaging beam directed to a material whereon an image is to be set. A device is provided for positioning the radiation source relative to and parallel to a surface of the material. A shutter is to be positioned for shielding between the radiation source and the material when an image is not being set on the material. An element is actionable for positioning the shutter while an image is being set on the material.
