Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of the claim.
  • the sleeve for a rotogravure roller consists of a Base sleeve 1 made of glass fiber reinforced plastic, one layer 2 of compressible material applied thereon, a spacer layer 3 applied thereon Plastic foam, a subsequent aluminum tube 4 and an engravable copper layer applied thereon 5, the sleeve being an axially extending spring 6 which engages in a groove of the gravure axis.
  • Disassembly is as follows:
  • the left support arm 10 is used as a push adapter. He loosens the sleeve.
  • the left support arm thus has So a double function (support arm and thrust adapter).
  • the outer one Layer also as a flexo sleeve made of a potting or rigid foam mass.
  • the aluminum tube 4 can for this case also made of plastic or fiberglass or carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
  • the structure the flexo sleeve still corresponds to today's manufacturing technology, i.e. it is a potting or Rigid foam with a duromer surface.
