  • At least one of the inking rollers contacts the plate cylinder, and at least one of the second inking rollers contacts the second plate cylinder in the operating position of the second inking unit.
  • a connected to the central frame portion dampening unit for the plate cylinder and a likewise connected to the central frame section second dampening unit can be provided for the second plate cylinder.
  • the dampening units can also be connected to the movable first or second frame section and thus together with the associated inking unit define a part of the respective operating position.
  • a winch or a crane may be provided above the printing unit.
  • the plate cylinder and the second blanket cylinder are preferably arranged in a similar horizontal plane.
  • a common drive motor can be provided for the plate cylinder and the blanket cylinder. However, it can also be provided individual drives for the plate cylinder and the blanket cylinder.
  • the blanket cylinder and the second blanket cylinder may be driven by a common drive motor while the plate cylinder and the second plate cylinder each have a single drive motor.
  • the motors can be driven by one of the drive motors of the plate cylinder or the blanket cylinder. It is also possible to drive the inking units by at least one single drive motor.
  • a traveling mechanism for the movable side frame i. the first frame portion and the second frame portion are provided, e.g. a motorized mechanism with a rail system supporting the movable sections.
  • a linear motor can be used for moving the movable sections.
  • the blanket cylinders can work together to print on both sides of a web.
  • an impression cylinder can also be provided, so that the web is printed on only one side.
  • a method for carrying out a plate change or an imaging process on a plate cylinder, which is supplied with ink by means of an inking unit located in an operating position on the circumference of the plate cylinder, is characterized in that the inking unit is set to a rest position by the plate cylinder, that a plate handling device in the Essentially in the operating position on the circumference of the plate cylinder in the vicinity of the plate cylinder is moved, and that by means of the disk handling device on the plate cylinder, a plate change or a Bericeungslui is performed.
  • Fig. 1 shows a side view of a web-fed rotary offset printing press with four printing units according to the invention.
  • Each printing unit comprises a first plate cylinder 1, which may have a channel for attaching at least one offset printing plate. However, it may also be a suitable for sleeve-shaped printing plates or for direct imaging plate cylinder.
  • On a first blanket cylinder 2 an axially removable and sleeve-shaped or a flat blanket can be arranged.
  • a second blanket cylinder 12 forms with the first blanket cylinder 2 a transfer nip through which a web 10 is guided.
  • a second plate cylinder 11 is provided for transferring a printed image on the second blanket cylinder 12.
  • the blanket cylinders 2, 12 and the plate cylinders 1, 11 are rotatably received in a central frame portion 5.
  • a winch 20 or crane 20 may assist in changing one or more of the cylinders 1, 2, 11, 12.
  • a first frame section 6 and a second frame section 8, in which the inking units 4 and 14 are arranged, are movable relative to the central frame section 5, in particular substantially perpendicular to the plane of the web 10 movable or displaceable or movable.
  • the inking unit 4 comprises inking rollers 3 and supplies the plate cylinder 1 color when at least one of the inking rollers 3 contacts the plate cylinder 1. This is achieved by moving the first frame section 6 in the direction of the central frame section 5 and thus defining an operating position of the inking unit 4.
  • the inking unit 14 includes inking rollers 13 to similarly ink the plate cylinder 11.
  • a disk handling device 9, 19 formed here as an automatic disk changer may be in a position which is e.g. the operating position of the inking unit 4 corresponds. In this way, on the plate cylinder 1, 11 arranged flat pressure plate can be replaced.
  • the disk handling device 9, 19 may also be formed as a laser imaging unit which images the plate cylinder 1, 11 when it is formed as a directly imageable cylinder. In general, the plate handling devices 9, 19 will be similar, e.g. both as laser imaging units.
  • the space between the traversed first frame portion 6 and the central frame portion 5 gives the operator easy access to the plate cylinder 1 and the inking unit 4, so that it can be e.g. Perform maintenance or replace cylinders or rollers. This work can be assisted by the winch or crane 20. The same applies to the space between the frame section 8 and the central frame section 5.
