Abstract: A regulating device for servo components such as for example inking, dampening, format setting or deckle size setting screws employed at printing and binding machines for regulating deviations from set points. A measuring device for determining the position of the servo component is followed by a storage for actual setting values having its output connected to a comparison circuit. A second input of the comparison circuit is connected to a storage for set point values and the output of the comparison circuit is connected via a control circuit to the servo component. The storage for actual setting values is connected via a decoder to a display unit. A carrier for set point value data is connected to the storage for set point values. A clock generator is connected to the inputs of the storage for set point values and to the storage for actual setting values.

Abstract: A control and monitoring provision for final control elements such as inking and dampening fountain keys or metering screws at printing machines. A displacement pickup disk is solidly connected to the movable part of the final control element together with sensing means having two sensing elements. The output of the sensing elements is fed to a circuit for recognizing the direction of rotation of the final control element and to an electronic counting device with optical display. In a following comparison circuit the preset set point values are compared with the actual values and the comparison circuit is followed by a circuit for reversing the direction of rotation of the motor and for opening of a gate having its inputs connected as desired with a preset set point device and a data carrier and the output of the gate is connected to a monitor provision and by way of a following amplifier to the final control element.
