  • Method and device for suppressing vibrations in a printing press
    Patent number: 6805053
    Abstract: A method and device for suppressing vibrations in a printing press includes placing, on at least one element of the press, a mass that vibrates freely with one degree of freedom, determining the rotational speed of the press and feeding the speed to a control device, and, in the control device, utilizing the rotational speed, determining an actuating variable and feeding the actuating variable to at least one actuator, at least one vibration parameter of the mass being changed in accordance with the rotational speed by the actuator.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 20, 2002
    Date of Patent: October 19, 2004
    Assignee: Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG
    Inventors: Christopher Berti, Bernhard Buck, Holger Faulhammer, Michael Krüger, Jürgen Maass, Sven Mader, Stefan Maier, Kai Oskar Müller, Matthias Nöll, Martin Riese, Bernhard Roskosch
  • Method of driving a machine related to printing technology
    Patent number: 6725780
    Abstract: A method of driving a machine related to printing technology, wherein movable elements forming a kinematic chain are coupled with one another via at least one gear mechanism, includes infeeding torque components by a respective motor of at least one group of two motors, respectively located at least at two elements associated with one another. The torque components are of equal amplitude but have opposite directions of rotation, for suppressing disruptive oscillations at least at the one group of two motors. The amplitude of the torque components is proportional to relative rotation of the two elements associated with one another. Rotary encoders are provided to obtain signals for reproducing rotational positions of the elements.
