Abstract: An object is to provide a printing machine nip checking system and the like that facilitates a nip checking operation. In the invention, a subject roller selecting section 10 is provided that selects a roller of which a nip width is to be checked. When a subject is narrowed, a main gear rotation angle calculating section 11 determines a rotation angle of the selected roller, in addition to a rotation direction. A main gear rotation driving section 13 connected to the main gear rotation angle calculating section 11 rotates a main gear 18 by the calculated desired angle, after the main gear 18 is stopped for a certain amount of time. As a result, an operator can visually recognize a nip on a subject gear without particularly considering the rotation direction and the rotation angle of the main gear 18.

Abstract: A printing press includes a printing unit, a feeder unit, and a delivery unit. At least one of the units is provided with a panel for either or both operating the unit and displaying the state of the unit. The panel is attached to the unit with a magnet, and is held by the attractive force of the magnet.

Abstract: A printing press is configured such that the printing sheet is supplied from the paper feeding unit through the intermediate cylinder 14 while the ink is supplied from the ink apparatus to the blanket cylinder 11 through the printing cylinder 12 and, when the printing sheet passes between the blanket cylinder 11 and the impression cylinder 13, the ink is transferred from the blanket cylinder 11 and, thereby, printing is executed. In the printing press, the rotary encoder 31 detects the rotation angle of the blanket cylinder 11 and the control unit 32 receives the instructions of the head portion finding switches 33b, 33c and drives and controls the driving unit 16 and, thereby, the blanket cylinder 11 can be rotated and stopped to/at the blanket replacement angle for replacing the blanket 28 wound around the blanket cylinder 11.
