Abstract: The contact pressure between an adjustably mounted first cylinder and a second cylinder in a printing machine, and particularly in a web-fed printing machine can be adjusted. An actuator is usable to force the first cylinder toward the second cylinder with an adjustable force. A fixing device is usable to fix the first cylinder in a desired position relative to the second cylinder.

Abstract: A method for operating a printing group and to the use of a printing ink. The tack of an ink that is used in a printing group of a rotating printing press, or the temperature of a rotating component in the printing group is selected or controlled. The ink itself is temperature regulated in response to production speeds to maintain the ink tackiness in the desired range. A gradient that sets forth an interrelationship between ink tackiness, temperature and production speed can be used in a control device for use in temperature regulation.

Abstract: An inking system is comprised of rollers. At least one roller has a barrel with at least two separate sections. One of these casing sections is arranged in a manner which permits it to be changed independently of the other casing section.

Abstract: A printing unit has at least four cylinders that form a printer. At least two of these four cylinders rotate independently of each other. At least one of the cylinders in the group of at least four cylinders has a set up rotational speed that is not zero and that is different from a production rotational speed of that cylinder.

Abstract: A fixing devise is disclosed. It is usable for clamping two radially displaceable elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (20) for adjusting the contact pressure between an adjustably mounted first cylinder (21) and at least one second cylinder (22) in a printing machine, especially in a web-fed printing machine. The inventive device comprises at least one actuator (34, 50) with which the first cylinder (21) can be forced in the direction of the second cylinder (22) with an adjustable force, and a fixing device (21) for fixing the first cylinder (21) relative to the second cylinder (22).

Abstract: A distributing roller includes a roller sleeve and a gear located on the interior of the roller. The gear generates a rotational speed of a roller inner shaft that is different from the rotational speed of the roller sleeve. A bearing, that is supported obliquely on the roller inner shaft, with respect to the roller axis of rotation, generates an axial travel of the roller sleeve with respect to the roller shaft.

Abstract: An adjustable bearing arrangement is used for the remote controlled adjustment of an inking roller or a dampening roller with respect to a second, contacting roller. The journal of the roller to be adjusted is secured to an adjusting element. A pre-settable adjusting force is transferred from one roller to the other. In the adjustment position, the receiving element or elements are locked so that it is temporarily impossible for the now adjusted roller to move either in, or opposite to the direction of adjustment.

Abstract: A color ink supply device for an ink ductor in a rotary printing press achieves an even color distribution on the ink ductor. A plurality of ink supply devices are arranged axially along the ink ductor. Each ink supply device includes a main chamber and may also include a pre-chamber. A doctor blade device may also be utilized.

Abstract: The invention relates to a distributing roller with axial travel, comprising a gear that is located in the interior of the roller for generating a speed which differs from that of the roller sleeve. Said roller has means consisting of a bearing that is positioned obliquely in relation to the rotational axis for generating the axial travel.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustable bearing arrangement for remote-controlled adjustment of an inking roller or a dampening roller in relation to another roller. This is achieved by fixing the axes or journals of the roller which is to be adjusted to a receiving element for said axes or journals and by transferring a pre-settable adjusting force from one roller to the other roller. In the adjustment position, the receiving elements of the axes or journals are locked in such a way that it is temporarily impossible for the roller thus adjusted to move in the direction of adjustment or in a direction opposite thereto.

Abstract: A pump inker unit is used to supply inks of different color to an inking unit of a rotary printing press. An ink supply unit is supported for movement with respect to the inking unit of the press. Several pump inker units, each with their own color of ink can be quickly interchanged so that the ink ductor roller of the inking unit will receive different colors of ink from different movably mounted ink supply units.

Abstract: An inker unit for a printing unit of a web-fed rotary printing press has a pair of ink application rollers in direct contact with a forme cylinder and with a central, ink receiving roller. A pair of inking rollers are also in direct contact with the ink receiving roller, and in indirect contact with the ink application rollers through riding rollers. The ink application rollers are thus inked both directly and indirectly from the ink receiving roller.
