The only first rolling element 53 or the group of first rolling elements 53 each section A to F or AB to EF and, if provided, the only second rolling element 54 or the group of second rolling elements 54 of each section A to F or AB to EF are independent of each other by their own adjusting means 57 ; 58 actuated. These adjusting agents 57 ; 58 are for example as acted upon with pressure medium reversibly deformable hollow body 57 ; 58 , especially as a hose 57 ; 58 executed. But it can also be provided differently type of electrically or magnetically actuable actuating means.

For mounting an elevator 16 ; 17 in one of the sections A to F and AB to EF is the leading, z. B. acute angle beveled end 24 of the elevator 16 ; 17 into the relevant opening 28 ; 38 ; 39 ; 41 introduced. The or the first or first rolling elements associated with this section A to F or AB to EF 53 and, if provided, the or the second rolling elements associated with this section A to F or AB to EF 54 be to the cylinder 16 ; 17 or to be wound up, already hinged elevator 19 ; 21 hired. Are already one or more other elevators 19 ; 21 on the cylinder 16 ; 17 are arranged and are to remain there, then the first and / or second rolling elements which concern this section A to F or AB to EF also become 53 ; 54 to the respective elevator 19 ; 21 hired. When first and second rolling elements 53 ; 54 are provided, presses when rolling the cylinder 16 ; 17 with the rolling elements 53 ; 54 the second rolling element 54 the trailing beveled end 26 of the elevator 19 ; 21 when overrolling in the opening 28 ; 38 ; 39 ; 41 , Is or are only first rolling elements 53 provided, it is pushed in by them. Preferably, in this case, the rolling elements remain 53 ; 54 stationary, while the cylinder 16 ; 17 is rotated in a direction of production P. The or in a release position (open) located holding means for the sections A to F and AB to EF, z. B. one or more clamping pieces 29 ; 43 , changes or changes to its or their holding or clamping position (closed). After the holding means has changed from its release position to its holding position all rolling elements 53 ; 54 of the relevant section A to F or AB to EF from the cylinder 16 ; 17 or its elevator 19 ; 21 switched off.

When unclamping a lift 19 ; 21 is to distinguish whether one or more other lifts 19 ; 21 on the cylinder 16 ; 17 should remain. In this case, at least one of the elevator to be left is initially 19 ; 21 associated rolling elements 53 ; 54 in the area of its trailing end 26 or near the opening 28 ; 38 ; 39 ; 41 employed or hired. The elevator to be solved 19 ; 21 associated rolling element 53 ; 54 can be left off or be turned off. The holding means for the sections A to F or AB to EF is opened. The trailing end 26 of the elevator to be solved 19 ; 21 is due to the residual stress from the channel 27 ; 36 ; 37 removed while leaving the lifts 19 ; 21 through the rolling elements 53 ; 54 are held down. The holding means is closed again. Indicates the pressing device 52 each first and second rolling elements 53 ; 54 on, so are the lifts to be left 19 ; 21 advantageous by at least the second rolling elements 54 held down. When removing planned elevator 19 ; 21 is initially at least the second rolling element 54 turned off so the end 26 from the channel 27 ; 36 ; 37 can escape, and the first rolling element 53 employed, so that already partially dissolved elevator 19 ; 21 still on the cylinder 16 ; 17 is managed and maintained. Then the cylinder can 16 ; 17 , Preferably opposite to the direction of production P, are rotated to the leading end 24 from the channel 27 ; 36 ; 37 away, and the elevator 19 ; 21 can be removed. Are when unclamping the elevator 19 ; 21 no remaining lifts 19 ; 21 to take into account, so can the rolling elements 53 ; 54 not the elevator to be solved 19 ; 21 Sections A to F and AB to EF during the procedure in principle any operating positions, preferably off, occupy.

In an advantageous embodiment, the cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 the printing unit 02 so driven that the printing units 13 the printing unit 02 in each case at least by one of the remaining printing units 13 mechanically independent drive motor 61 are rotationally driven. In the case of the satellite printing unit 02 is or are the satellite cylinders 18 also by a drive motor 61 mechanically independent of the associated printing units 13 rotatory driven. The drive motors 61 are preferably as with respect to their angular position controlled electric motors 61 , z. B. as induction motors, synchronous motors or DC motors. In an advantageous embodiment is between the drive motor 61 and the cylinder to be driven 16 ; 17 ; 18 or cylinder pair 16 . 17 ; 18 . 18 at least one gearbox 62 , in particular at least one reduction gear 62 (Such as pinion, intent and / or planetary gear) arranged. The individual drives contribute to high flexibility and to avoid vibrations in the mechanical drive system, and thus also to high quality in the product. In the following 8th to 10 have only the components of the right half of the figure corresponding reference numerals, since the left side corresponds to the right mirror image. For upper and lower printing units, there are alternative configurations for any existing inking or dampening units 14 ; 20 indicated which are to be transferred alternately to each other.

In 8th all have nine cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 each with its own drive motor 61 on, which in each case z. B. via a transmission 62 on the cylinder 16 ; 17 ; 18 drives. The above illustrated inking unit 14 has, in addition to other, not designated rolls two distribution cylinders 63 on which rotatory together by means of its own drive motor 64 are drivable. The two distribution cylinders 63 are axially movable and driven for generating an axial stroke by a drive means not shown. The inking unit shown below 14 only has a distribution cylinder 63 on. The dampening unit shown above 20 has, in addition to other, not designated rolls two distribution cylinders 66 on which rotatory together by means of its own drive motor 67 are drivable. The two distribution cylinders 66 are axially movable and driven for generating an axial stroke by a drive means not shown. The dampening unit shown below 20 only has a distribution cylinder 66 on. In a variant, which in the upper printing units 13 is indicated by dotted lines, the color and / or dampening 14 ; 20 not by its own drive motor 64 ; 67 but from one of the cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 , in particular of the forme cylinder 16 via a mechanical coupling, z. B. via gears and / or belts, rotationally driven.

In contrast to 8th be the two cylinders 16 ; 17 every printing unit 13 in the execution after 9 each of a common drive motor 61 on the transfer cylinder 17 driven. The drive can be axial, z. B. via a transmission 62 , or take place via a on a drive wheel of the transfer cylinder 17 driving pinion. from Drive wheel of the transfer cylinder 17 can then on a drive wheel of the forme cylinder 16 be aborted. The drive connection 68 (Shown as a connecting line) can be done as a gear connection or via belt and is executed encapsulated in development. For driving the inking and, if necessary, dampening unit 14 ; 20 via own drive motors 64 ; 67 or a cylinder 16 ; 17 ; 18 is basically that too 8th applied.

In contrast to 9 be the two cylinders 16 ; 17 every printing unit 13 in the execution after 10 although by a common drive motor 61 , but on the forme cylinder 16 driven. The drive can again axially, z. B. via a transmission 62 , or take place via a on a drive wheel of the forme cylinder 16 driving pinion. From the drive wheel of the forme cylinder 16 can then on a drive wheel of the transfer cylinder 17 be aborted. The drive connection 68 can like to 9 be explained set forth. For driving the inking and, if necessary, dampening unit 14 ; 20 via own drive motors 64 ; 67 or a cylinder 16 ; 17 ; 18 is basically that too 8th applied.

Unlike the in 8th or 9 indicated by dotted lines execution without its own rotary drive of the inking and / or dampening 14 ; 20 However, it is advantageous in a development of the transfer cylinder 17 on the inking and / or dampening unit 14 ; 20 to drive. Thus, a clear moment flow can be achieved and possibly occurring tooth flank changes can be avoided. An embodiment of such a drive train is shown schematically in FIG 11 shown.

The drive motor 61 drives over a pinion 71 on one with the form cylinder 16 torsionally rigid connected drive wheel 72 which in turn is on with the transfer cylinder 17 torsionally rigid connected drive wheel 73 drives. The drive wheel 73 is either widened or it is a second drive wheel 74 with the transfer cylinder 17 connected. The widened or additional drive wheel 73 ; 74 drives over a rotatable on a pin 76 of the forme cylinder 16 arranged drive wheel 77 on a drive wheel 78 of the inking and / or dampening unit 14 ; 20 , The drive wheels 72 ; 73 ; 74 ; 77 ; 78 are preferably designed as gears. In the event that the form cylinder 16 to set the axial position by, for example ± .DELTA.L axially displaceable, at least the pinion 71 and the drive wheels 72 to 74 straight toothed executed. Between drive motor 61 and the transmission 62 from pinion 71 and drive wheel 72 can additionally a dashed lines indicated, encapsulated attachment gear 62 ' be arranged. The drive on the form cylinder 16 Alternatively, it can be axially on the pin 76 take place, where appropriate, an axial movement of the forme cylinder 16 via a not shown, an axial relative movement between the forme cylinder 16 and the drive motor 61 receiving coupling takes place. The satellite cylinder 18 in this illustration is also about a pinion 71 on a drive wheel assigned to it 79 , especially gear 79 , powered. Each by an independent drive motor 61 driven drive train is in an advantageous embodiment at least in isolation, possibly in even smaller units, encapsulated (dashed in 11 ) Shown.

The described embodiments of the printing unit 02 or the printing units 13 or their cylinders 16 ; 17 ; 18 or the drive allows a low-vibration, accurate printing high quality with a low on the achievable product strength technical and spatial complexity.

After printing the z. B. six printed pages wide web 03 this runs, possibly on unspecified vanes and / or draw rollers, in the area of the superstructure 04 and is z. B. by the longitudinal cutting devices 06 guided ( 12 ). This has z. B. a roller 81 , for example one by means of its own drive motor 80 driven tension roller 81 on, with which pressure rollers can work together to avoid slippage. Slitter 06 and the draw roller 81 may also be carried out separately, but preferably with the longitudinal cutting device 06 as a defeat another roller acts together. In this slitting equipment 06 will be the train 03 for example, in several, z. B. three, partial web widths 03a ; 03b ; 03c , short part tracks 03a ; 03b ; 03c (symbolized by center lines, lines 03a . 03b merely indicated), cut longitudinally before these partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c subsequent guide elements, for. B. rolling register devices 08 , Turning bars of turning devices 07 , Run-on rollers for the funnel inlet or draw rolls are fed. In order to achieve low-vibration web transport with respect to the web tension, individual, several or all of the non-driven or merely by friction with the web 03a ; 03b ; 03c driven guide elements, which are used to guide partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c are provided are executed with a reduced length. Thus, in addition to the length of the otherwise for z. B. six pages wide machines large required strength of the vanes and thus significantly reduce the inertia. The risk of vibrations in the web tension, which otherwise exists in particular when there is a change in speed, is effectively reduced, which in turn is reflected in the passer-loading and thus in the quality of the print. The following remarks on the guide elements vermin derter length, lateral locational variability and assignment of a register roller to another guide element, are applied to a variety of printing machines, but of particular advantage i. V. m. wide, z. B. six plates wide machines.

12 shows in a perspective oblique view, a first embodiment of at least a portion of the superstructure 04 , Exemplary is in 12 the sub-railway 03b as sub-web turned from the center to the outside 03b shown. A second of the subways 03a ; 03c could for example by means of a second such turning device 07 also be turned into another escape. A second turning device can, for. B. above or below the first turning device 07 lie.

The turning device 07 points as a guiding element 82 as usual, two parallel or crossed turning bars 82 on, which with the transport direction of the incoming part of the web 03a ; 03b ; 03c form an angle of about 45 ° or 135 °, and by means of which an incoming web 03a ; 03b ; 03c is laterally displaceable and / or can be staggered. The turning bars 82 advantageously have a length L82 whose projection on the transverse extent of the incoming part of the web 03a ; 03b ; 03c insignificantly larger, z. B. 0% to 20% greater than the width of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c is, ie the length L82 is approximately 1.4 to 1.7 times the partial web width. At least the length L82 is chosen such that its projection is less than or equal to twice the width of a two-side-width partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c is, ie the length L82 is at most 2.8 times the partial web width. In an advantageous embodiment, the turning bars 82 each individually on straps 83 stored, which transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c on at least one tour 84 are changeable. The now "short" turning bars 82 can now be brought to the required position depending on the requirement from the desired web guide. Under certain circumstances, both turning bars can 82 on such a carrier 83 be stored.

Offset, turned, transferred and / or fallen partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c experienced opposite other subways 03a ; 03c Usually an offset in the direction of rotation and are therefore corrected by means of a register device 08 in the longitudinal register. The register device 08 points as a guiding element 86 at least one parallel to the direction movable roller 86 on. The roller 86 or more rolls 86 the register device 08 advantageously have a length L86 which is insignificantly larger, z. B. 0% to 20% greater than the width of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c is. At a minimum, the length L86 is less than or equal to twice the width of a two-side width sub-web 03a ; 03b ; 03c , In an advantageous embodiment, the register device 08 transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c on at least one tour 87 movably stored. The now narrow register device 08 or their short rolls 86 can now be brought to the required position depending on the requirement from the desired web guide.

In addition to the cutting, possibly turning and possibly registers is the sub-web 03a ; 03b ; 03c in the superstructure 04 u. U. on more, non-driven vanes, such as guide rollers, not shown, performed before they ultimately one of the folding structure 11 upstream casserole or harp roller 88 the so-called hard 09 ( 1 ) is supplied. For straight running tracks 03 or partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c is in the superstructure 04 upstream of the harp roller 89 for example, over the full web width b03 reaching, in the transport direction spatially changeable register roller 91 and a guide roller 92 arranged.

In an advantageous embodiment, a length L88 of a guide roller and / or harp roller 88 ; 93 insignificantly larger, z. B. 0% to 20% greater than the width of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c , At least the length L88; L93 ( 13 ) smaller than or equal to twice the width of a two-side wide sub-web 03a ; 03b ; 03c , In the embodiment according to 12 is the "short" harp roller 88 as a section 88 a divided in this embodiment, but a total of six pages wide web 03 reaching harp roller 89 realized. The sections 88 are here rotatably mounted independently of each other.

The "short" harp roller 88 ; 93 as a guiding element 88 ; 93 However, instead of or in addition to a section 88 also, as in 13 shown as a harp roller individually arranged on a frame 93 be executed. This can then either fixed to the frame, or on a support 94 on a tour 96 transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c be arranged variable in position.

Since the offset when turning, moving, falling, etc., only this partial path 03a ; 03b ; 03c relates and is tied to their special web guide, in an advantageous embodiment, the required register device 08 at least one the course of the sub-train 03a ; 03b ; 03c determining guiding elements, such. B. the turning device 07 or a turning bar 82 or the harp 09 or a "short" harp roller 93 , be assigned.

In 13 is the "short" registry 08 z. B. the "short" harp roller 93 assigned and together with this at the lead 96 transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03b ; 03c local variable.

In 14 is the "short" registry 08 z. B. one of the "short" turning bars 82 assigned and together with this at the lead 84 transverse to the direction of the incoming partial web 03b local variable. Although this arrangement is here for crossed turning bars 82 shown, but on parallel turning bars 82 out 11 apply. In the case of the crossed or orthogonal turning bars 82 is at least one (here two) guide roller 97 with perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the roller 81 extending axis of rotation.

In an advantageous embodiment are in the superstructure 04 a three-width press per full web 03 two such, with register and turning device 08 ; 07 or with register and harp roller 93 jointly movable "short" devices above or below each other.

The guides 84 ; 96 ( 13 and 14 ) of the aforementioned embodiments can be realized in many different ways. For example, the guides 84 ; 96 be designed as spindles with at least sections threaded, which is rotatably mounted on both sides and z. B. are rotatably driven by a drive, not shown. The carriers 83 ; 94 can be in the form of sliding blocks also in rigid guides 84 ; 96 , z. B. on profiles, be performed. This can be a drive of the carrier 83 ; 94 also via a drivable spindle or done in another way.

By means of the transversely adjustable turning bar 82 are variable transfers or offset of partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c over one or two partial web widths (or even multiples of a half partial web width) away possible. Here are the printed partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c in the escape of one of several, here three, arranged side by side, transverse to the direction of the former 101 ; 102 ; 103 ( 15 ) of the folder structure 11 brought. The transfer takes place, for example, to meet the requirement of different strengths of individual strands or ultimately intermediate or end products, at the same time an effective printing with the fullest possible web widths should be made.

For n full tracks to be printed 03 ; 03 ' (eg n printing towers 01 ) of a respective maximum width b03 of m printed pages, the superstructure 04 in an advantageous embodiment at least (n · (m / 2-1)) turning devices 07 on. In the case of a six page wide printing machine and z. B. three lanes 03 ; 03 ' (or three printing towers 01 ) Each section has six turning devices 07 per section of advantage.

In one embodiment of a printing press with z. B. two sections of three printing towers 01 and a total of six four-page wide webs for two-sided four-color printing 03 ; 03 '; 03 '' are at least three turning devices 07 arranged per section.

In an advantageous embodiment of a printing machine with z. B. two sections of two printing towers 01 and a total of four for six-sided four-color printing provided six printed pages wide webs 03 ; 03 '; 03 '' are z. B. four turning devices 07 arranged per section. In this press with two sections or a total of four printing towers 01 (four lanes 03 ; 03 ' ), a product with a total thickness of 96 pages can be produced in the collective operation.

In addition to the offset of a partial line 03a ; 03b ; 03c by an integer multiple of its partial track width b03a, a mode of operation is advantageous, wherein a partial path 03a ; 03b ; 03c is offset by an odd multiple of half the partial web width b03a and / or funnel width (ie by a factor of 0.5, 1.5, 2.5) ( 15 ). This can be done by means of long, over the entire width of the printing press or the width b03 of the entire web 03 reaching turning bars (not shown), but also advantageous by means of the above-described portable "short" turning bars 82 respectively. The turning bars 82 are then, for example, as in 15 shown arranged so that the first of the sub-web 03a ; 03b ; 03c entwined turning bar 82 at least over an entire width of a subsequent former 101 ; 102 ; 103 Aligns while the second turning bar 82 at least with two adjacent halves of two juxtaposed subsequent formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 flees.

The partial track offset by an odd multiple of half the funnel width b101 or partial track width b03a 03a ; 03b ; 03c thus runs "between" the formers 101 ; 102 ; 103 , This is in 15 and 16 on the example of the six printed pages wide funnel arrangement on a two-page wide sub-web 03a ; 03b ; 03c shown, but also to transfer to machines of other widths. There is thus no need for only one printed page wide partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c or partial webs 03a ; 03b ; 03c half a funnel width b101 printed as such and are passed through the machine. A high variety in the product is nevertheless possible.

The partial track offset by an odd multiple of half the partial track width b03a 03a ; 03b ; 03c is in front of the former 101 ; 102 ; 103 in one between the two aligned folding hoppers 101 ; 102 ; 103 lying escape cut longitudinally and runs on the Falzaufbau 11 or the harp 09 ie undivided and / or split harp roller 89 and / or "short" harp roller 93 , to ( 16 ).

In 16 is a schematic section of the 15 with exemplarily differently executed Harfenwalzen 89 ; 93 represented, for example, the partial web 03c from its original position (shown unfilled) was offset by one and a half sub-web widths b03a. You can, if, for example, with another slitter 104 in front of the folder hoppers 101 ; 102 ; 103 is cut (then each a printed page or newspaper page wide), each half in half with the partial webs 03a and 03b on each a former 101 ; 102 be guided. The two intermediate) products then have z. B. in each case at least one a printed page wide sub-web 03c1 ; 03c2 a former two pages wide partial web 03a ; 03b ; 03c on. In addition, partial webs 03a '; 03b '; 03c ' from others, eg. B. in another printing unit 02 or another printing tower 01 printed webs 03 ' on one or more of the harp rollers 89 ; 93 accrues. The in the same flight over or under each other running partial webs 03a . 03a ' . 03c1 ; 03b . 03b ' . 03c2 ; 03c ' can now z. B. each to a strand 109 ; 111 ; 112 put together a former 101 ; 102 ; 103 be supplied.
