Abstract: An apparatus and a method for correct phase engagement of mechanically coupled rotatably drivable components in printing material processing machines, include a coupling for mechanically connecting at least two of the rotatably drivable components. The at least two rotatably drivable components are operated at a different rotational speed in a transmission ratio in a mechanically coupled state, and a control computer has access to the transmission ratio for controlling an engagement operation and taking the transmission ratio into consideration during the correct phase engagement.

Abstract: In a method for controlling the temperature of a press which has an applicator roller and a screen roller, the screen roller has its temperature controlled at different temperatures and the applicator roller has its temperature controlled at a constant temperature. In this manner, the choice of the screen roller temperatures can be set individually for each printing unit depending on the optical ink density values which the operator desires.

Abstract: A method for operating a printing unit of a printing press includes operating the printing unit in a first operating mode, for example printing operation, and in a second operating mode, for example maintenance operation. In the first operating mode, a printing unit cylinder and a distributor roller are driven rotationally by a first motor and the distributor roller is driven axially by a second motor. In the second operating mode, the distributor roller is driven rotationally by a third motor and the distributor roller is driven axially by the second motor. A printing press for carrying out the method is also provided.

Abstract: A method for operating a printing press having a printing form cylinder and a screen roller, includes rotating the printing form cylinder in a first direction of rotation and rotating the screen roller at the same time, during a continuous printing operation. The printing form cylinder is rotated in a second direction of rotation and the screen roller is kept at a rotational standstill at the same time, during an interruption in the printing operation. A printing press for carrying out the method has a clutch, preferably a freewheeling clutch, integrated into an anilox inking unit having the screen roller, in such a way that the clutch stops the rotation of the screen roller during reverse running of the printing press.
