Abstract: A knife strip, cutting bar and adjusting device are provided by means of which an exact adjustment of the knife height is ensured for the entire service life of the adjusting device or of the knife bar, or by means of which the use of an adjusting device can even be forgone completely. An adjusting device includes a knife strip wherein at least one stop surface is formed in the area of at least one outer edge. An adjusting device includes at least one stop against which the at least one stop surface of the knife strip is placed. A knife bar includes at least one stop against which the at least one stop surface of the knife strip is placed.

Abstract: A method for checking intermediate, part or end products during the production process without using marks is disclosed. The print image of the intermediate, part or end product produced on a digital printing press is scanned at least after a predetermined production step in order to subsequently compare the scanned print image with stored product data. Based on the comparison, the check of the previous processing steps and/or the calculation of the subsequent control actions for the order allocated to the intermediate, part or end product and the control actions by the production device are carried out.

Abstract: A method for producing a print product with an access code in a reel-fed rotary printing press is disclosed. The access code is printed in a code region on a first sheet of the print product where the access code is to be particularly well protected against illegitimate extraction or viewing by third parties. Furthermore, the buyer of such a print product with an access code is to be able to particularly easily detect if attempts were made by third parties to view this access code. For this purpose, the code region is covered by a viewing safeguard in such a manner that the viewing safeguard can only be irreparably removed.

Abstract: A rotary body of a printing press, in particular a printing press cylinder or a printing press roller, is disclosed. The rotary body includes a shaft, which is rotatably mountable on a printing press frame via bearings, and an outer surface which is temperature controllable. The outer surface is temperature controllable via at least one Peltier element integrated in the rotary body of a printing press, namely coolable and/or heatable.

Abstract: An automated method is provided for carrying out a production change, which is specific to the printing plate, on a printing press. After a first print job is printed on a printing press, the printing of the first print job is stopped automatically after a predefined print run level has been reached or another termination criterion for the first print job has occurred. Parameters required for printing a second print job which follows the first print job are loaded automatically by the printing press. Before or after the parameters of the second print job are loaded, a printing plate change is automatically carried out on the printing press, thus achieving production readiness for the second print job. The second print job is then either started automatically, or a production readiness signal for the second print job is generated automatically.
