Abstract: An assembly including a device for holding a sheet on a cylinder participating in a reversal of the sheet, includes a region wherein the holding device is effective for holding a sheet, the effective region for the holding device being located downline, as viewed in a sheet transport direction, from an upline effective region wherein the sheet is gripped by a lifting device.

Abstract: A method for two-sided printing of a sheet of printing material having a front side and a rear side, in a sheet-fed rotary printing press, wherein the front side is cleaned before being printed, includes also cleaning the rear side of the sheet before printing thereon; and a sheet-fed rotary printing press for performing the method.

Abstract: A device for transferring sheets in a sheet-processing machine includes a cylinder having at least one gripper device for the sheets, and a control device for opening and closing the gripper device, the control device having a first control cam for recto printing and a second control cam for recto/verso printing, at least one follower element for following the first and second control cams, each of the first and second control cams being formed with a through opening for accommodating a bearing element and, respectively, a cutout formed in the periphery of the first and second control cams and extending as far as the through opening for fitting the first and second control cams to and removing them from the bearing element radially. The first and second control cams, respectively, are of unipartite construction and, in peripheral direction, are aligned with one another so as to provide an at least approximately closed contour path for the at least one follower element.

Abstract: A device for reducing the noise emissions of a machine for printing flat material, wherein flat material is transportable across an impression cylinder, comprising at least one muffling element disposed across a portion of a transport path of the flat material extending along the impression cylinder, directly behind or downline from a nip, as viewed in the direction of the transport path, and at a spaced distance from the impression cylinder; and a machine including the device.
