Abstract: An application unit includes an application mechanism having an application cylinder, a forme cylinder, and a supply roller, along with a positioning device. The positioning device has a linear guide and the application unit has a magazine for supply rollers, preferably located below the application mechanism, the magazine having magazine receptacles each for receiving one supply roller. The magazine has a repositioning device, by the use of which the magazine receptacles can be placed in different magazines positions. By the use of the positioning device, a supply roller can be moved along a linear roller positioning path, one end of which is identical to a supply position and the other end of which is identical to a magazine position of the magazine that is configured as a change position.

Abstract: An application unit comprises an application mechanism with an impression cylinder, a forme cylinder, and a supply roller, along with a positioning device and a magazine for supply rollers, which magazine is located below the application mechanism. The magazine has magazine receptacles for supply rollers and a movable repositioning device, by the use of which, the magazine receptacles can be placed in different magazine positions. One of the magazine positions is a change position, and when a magazine receptacle is located in that change position, a supply roller can be transferred, with respect to a positioning direction, between the magazine receptacle and a remote region of a roller positioning path that connects the magazine to the application mechanism. The positioning direction deviates no more than 45 degrees from a vertical direction.

Abstract: An application unit includes an application mechanism with an impression cylinder, a forme cylinder, a supply roller, and a positioning device. The positioning device has a linear guide and a main supporting member, which is arranged to be movable in a positioning direction, guided by the linear guide, and is arranged rotatably on the main supporting member by a rolling bearing. The positioning device has a transfer supporting member, which is arranged to be movable in the positioning direction relative to the main supporting member, guided by the linear guide. On the transfer supporting member, a component of a bearing seat is provided, and which is configured to receive a rolling bearing arranged on the supply roller. The positioning device has a reservoir supporting member, which is arranged to be movable in the positioning direction, both relative to the main supporting member and relative to the transfer supporting member, guided by the at least one linear guide.
