Abstract: An oscillation amount adjusting device for an oscillating roller has a sleeve detent plate for restraining the rotation of a sleeve. An operator manually loosens a sleeve locking bolt to render the sleeve rotatable relative to a rotating shaft supporting the sleeve. The rotation of the sleeve is restrained by the sleeve detent plate. In this state, the rotating shaft supporting the sleeve is rotated by an oscillation drive motor to adjust the oscillation amount of oscillating rollers.

Abstract: An image exposure control apparatus includes a memory and an adjustment section. The memory stores a correction amount for each color in accordance with a stretch amount of a printing paper sheet in multicolor printing operation. The adjustment section adjusts an exposure position of a pixel of an image to be exposed for each color, on the basis of the correction amount read out from said memory means, in exposing the image on a printing plate.

Abstract: A cleaning apparatus includes a cleaning cloth, supply shaft, take-up shaft, detector, projections, proximity switch, and catching detection unit. The cleaning cloth is pressed against a rotary member and cleans an outer surface of the rotary member. The cleaning web before cleaning is wound around the supply shaft. The supply shaft rotates in accordance with supply operation of the cleaning cloth to the outer surface of the rotary member. The take-up shaft is rotatably driven to take up the cleaning cloth supplied from the supply shaft to the outer surface of the rotary member. The detector, projections, and proximity switch output a signal corresponding to a rotational speed of the supply shaft. The catching detection unit detects that the cleaning cloth is caught in the rotary member on the basis of a state of the signal output from the detector, projections, and proximity switch. A method of detecting catching of the cleaning web in the cleaning apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: A printing press includes a plate cylinder, a plate making unit, a detection switch, and a control unit. The plate cylinder has an outer surface on which a plate is mounted. The plate making unit performs plate making for the plate mounted on the outer surface of the plate cylinder. The plate making unit is supported to be movable between an operative position where plate making is performed and a wait position to escape from the operative position. The detection switch detects the plate making unit positioned at the wait position. The control unit controls plate change operation in accordance with a detection output from the detection switch.

Abstract: A printing press includes a plate cylinder, a plate making unit, at least one first engaging member, a first regulating member, a second engaging member, and a second regulating member. The plate cylinder is rotatably supported by a frame and has an outer surface on which a plate is mounted. The plate making unit is supported to be movable between an operative position where plate making is performed and a wait position to escape from the operative position. The first engaging member is fixed to one of the frame and the plate making unit. The first regulating member is fixed to the other of the frame and the plate making unit to engage with the first engaging member, and the first regulating member has a recess extending in an axial direction of the plate cylinder. The second engaging member is fixed to one of the frame and the plate making unit, and the second regulating member is fixed to the other of the frame and the plate making unit to engage with the second engaging member.
