Der Formzylinder 1 besitzt zwei einander gegenüberliegende Spanngruben 3, 4 mittels derer auf dem Umfang zwei Druckplatten 5, 6 spannbar sind. Damit ist der Formzylinder 1 in Umgangsrichtung mit zwei stehenden Broadsheet-Seiten belegbar.FIG. 1 and also the further figures show a forme cylinder 1 in cross section a rotary printing press, which with a transfer cylinder 2nd cooperates. The forme cylinder 1 has two opposite one another Tension pits 3, 4 by means of which two pressure plates 5, 6 can be tensioned on the circumference are. So that the forme cylinder 1 in the direction of two standing Broadsheet pages can be assigned.

Das Montieren der Druckplatte 5 auf den Formzylinder 1 erfolgt derart, dass letzterer zunächst in die in der Figur 1 gezeigte Einlegeposition gedreht wird. Anschließend wird die Druckplatte 5 mit ihrem vorlaufenden Schenkel 7 in die Spanngrube 3 eingesteckt. Dabei wird der vorlaufende Schenkel 7 von den in der Spanngrube 3 befindlichen Spannelementen geklemmt. Es kommen vorteilhaft unter Fliehkraft und Federwirkung spannende Spannelemente zum Einsatz, wie beispielsweise in DE 41 16 506 C2 gezeigt, weshalb dieses Schutzrecht als zur vorliegenden Beschreibung zugehörig anzusehen ist. Derartige Spannelemente erlauben es, Plattenschenkel einzustecken, ohne die Klemmung zu öffnen. Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, mittels eines in die Spanngrube 3 eingeführten Betätigungselementes 8 die Klemmung zu öffnen, wonach das Einstecken des vorlaufenden Schenkels 7 in die Spanngrube 3 erleichtert wird. Anschließend wird das Betätigungselement 8 wieder zurückgezogen, wonach die Spannelemente den vorlaufenden Schenkel 7 spannen. Die Druckplatte 5 wird vorteilhaft mit ihrem nachlaufenden Schenkel 9 auf einen Tisch 10 aufgelegt, der beispielsweise als Schutz ausgebildet sein kann.The mounting of the printing plate 5 on the forme cylinder 1 takes place in such a way that the latter is first rotated into the insertion position shown in FIG. 1. Subsequently the pressure plate 5 with its leading leg 7 into the clamping pit 3 plugged in. The leading leg 7 of the in the clamping pit 3rd clamping elements located clamped. It comes under centrifugal force and Spring action exciting clamping elements for use, such as in DE 41 16 506 C2 showed why this property right as to the present Description is to be seen in the associated. Such clamping elements allow Insert the plate leg without opening the clamp. But there is also the possibility of using an inserted into the clamping pit 3 Actuator 8 to open the clamp, after which the insertion of the leading leg 7 in the clamping pit 3 is facilitated. Then will the actuator 8 withdrawn again, after which the tensioning elements Tension leading leg 7. The pressure plate 5 is advantageous with your trailing leg 9 placed on a table 10, for example as Protection can be trained.

Nunmehr wird an den Formzylinder 1 eine Andrückrolle 11 angestellt (Figur 2), und bei einer Vorwärtsdrehung (im Uhrzeigersinn) des Formzylinders 1 wird die Druckplatte 5 auf diesen aufgewickelt. Beim Durchgang des Endbereiches der Druckplatte 5 unter die Andrückrolle 11 wird ihr nachlaufender Schenkel 9 in die Spanngrube 4 gedrückt und von deren Spannelementen gespannt (Figur 3).Now a pressure roller 11 is placed on the forme cylinder 1 (FIG. 2), and with a forward rotation (clockwise) of the forme cylinder 1 Pressure plate 5 wound on this. When passing the end of the Pressure plate 5 under the pressure roller 11 is its trailing leg 9 in the Clamping pit 4 pressed and clamped by its clamping elements (Figure 3).

In den Figuren 3 und 4 wird das Spannen einer weiteren Druckplatte 6 auf den Formzylinder 1 gezeigt. Dies erfolgt unter Wiederholung der Verfahrensschritte für die Montage der Druckplatte 5. Es wird also zunächst der Formzylinder 1 in die in Figur 3 gezeigte weitere Einlegeposition gebracht. Anschließend wird das Betätigungselement 8 in die Spanngrube 4 eingeführt, um die Klemmung des Spannelements für den vorlaufenden Schenkel 12 der Druckplatte 6 zu lösen, der daraufhin in die Spanngrube 4 eingesteckt wird. Nachfolgend wird das Betätigungselement 8 aus der Spanngrube 4 gezogen, worauf der vorlaufende Schenkel 12 geklemmt wird. Nun wird durch Vorwärtsdrehen des Formzylinders 1 die Druckplatte 6 auf den Formzylinder 1 gewickelt (Figur 4). Beim Durchgang des Endbereichs des Druckplatte 6 unter die an den Formzylinder 1 angestellte Andrückrolle 11 wird der nachlaufende Schenkel 13 in die Spanngrube 3 gedrückt und von deren Spannelementen geklemmt. Daraufhin wird die Andrückrolle 11 vom Formzylinder 1 abgestellt und die in Figur 5 gezeigte Produktionsstellung des Formzylinders 1 erreicht.In Figures 3 and 4, the clamping of a further pressure plate 6 on the Forme cylinder 1 shown. This is done by repeating the process steps for the assembly of the pressure plate 5. It is first the form cylinder 1 in the in Figure 3 brought further insertion position. Then that will Actuator 8 inserted into the clamping pit 4 to the clamping of the To release clamping element for the leading leg 12 of the pressure plate 6, the is then inserted into the clamping pit 4. Below is that Actuator 8 pulled out of the pit 4, whereupon the leading Leg 12 is clamped. Now by turning the forme cylinder 1 forward Pressure plate 6 wound on the forme cylinder 1 (Figure 4). At the passage of the End region of the pressure plate 6 under that of the forme cylinder 1 Pressure roller 11, the trailing leg 13 is pressed into the clamping pit 3 and clamped by their clamping elements. Then the pressure roller 11 from Form cylinder 1 turned off and the production position shown in Figure 5 Forme cylinder 1 reached.

Für die Demontage der Druckplatte 5 wird der Formzylinder 1 in die in Figur 6 gezeigte Entnahmeposition gedreht. Anschließend wird bei vom Formzylinder 1 abgestellter Andrückrolle 11 durch Einführen des Betätigungselements 8 in die Spanngrube 4 die Klemmung des nachlaufenden Schenkels 9 gelöst, wobei dieser aus der Spanngrube 4 herausspringt (Figur 6). Das Herausbewegen des nachlaufenden Schenkels 9 kann auch durch am Endbereich der Druckplatte 5 ziehende Entnahmemittel 14, beispielsweise eine Saugerleiste, unterstützt werden. Anschließend wird das Betätigungselement 8 wieder aus der Spanngrube 4 herausgezogen und durch Zurückdrehen (entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn) des Formzylinders 1 (Figur 7) die Druckplatte 5 vom Formzylinder 1 abgewickelt und mit ihrem nachlaufenden Schenkel 9 auf den Tisch 10 abgelegt. Schließlich wird durch Einführen des Betätigungselements 8 in die Spanngrube 3 die Klemmung des vorlaufenden Schenkels 7 gelöst und dieser aus der Spanngrube 3 gezogen, womit die Druckplatte 5 vom Formzylinder 1 demontiert ist (Figur 8).For the disassembly of the printing plate 5, the forme cylinder 1 is moved into the position shown in FIG. 6 shown removal position rotated. Then the forme cylinder 1 parked pressure roller 11 by inserting the actuating element 8 into the Clamping pit 4 released the clamping of the trailing leg 9, this jumps out of the pit 4 (Figure 6). Moving the trailing leg 9 can also by at the end region of the pressure plate 5th pulling removal means 14, for example a squeegee, are supported. The actuating element 8 is then removed from the clamping pit 4 pulled out and by turning back (counterclockwise) the Forme cylinder 1 (Figure 7), the pressure plate 5 is unwound from the forme cylinder 1 and placed her trailing leg 9 on the table 10. Eventually through Introducing the actuating element 8 into the clamping pit 3, the clamping of the leading leg 7 released and this pulled out of the pit 3, with what the printing plate 5 has been removed from the forme cylinder 1 (FIG. 8).

An die Entnahme der Druckplatte 5 kann sich sogleich die Demontage der weiteren Druckplatte 6 anschließen (Figuren 8 bis 10). Bei dem in Figur 8 gezeigten Einführen des Betätigungselementes 8 in die Spanngrube 3 für das Lösen der Klemmung des vorlaufenden Schenkels 7 der Druckplatte 5 wird gleichzeitig die Klemmung des nachlaufenden Schenkels 13 der weiteren Druckplatte 6 gelöst, wobei dieser aus der Spanngrube 3 herausspringt. Anschließend wird das Betätigungselement 8 aus der Spanngrube 3 herausgezogen. Beim nachfolgenden Zurückdrehen des Formzylinders 1 (Figur 9) wird die weitere Druckplatte 6 vom Formzylinder 1 abgewickelt und auf den Tisch 10 abgelegt. Schließlich wird das Betätigungselement 8 in die Spanngrube 4 eingesteckt, worauf die Klemmung des vorlaufenden Schenkels 12 gelöst und dieser aus der Spanngrube 4 entnommen wird (Figur 10).When the pressure plate 5 is removed, the dismantling of the others can take place immediately Connect pressure plate 6 (Figures 8 to 10). With the insertion shown in Figure 8 of the actuating element 8 in the clamping pit 3 for releasing the clamping of the leading leg 7 of the pressure plate 5 is the clamping of the trailing leg 13 of the further pressure plate 6 solved, this from the Tension pit 3 pops out. Then the actuating element 8 from the Tension pit 3 pulled out. When turning back the Forme cylinder 1 (Figure 9), the further printing plate 6 from the forme cylinder 1st processed and placed on the table 10. Finally, the actuator 8 inserted into the clamping pit 4, whereupon the clamping of the leading Leg 12 released and this is removed from the clamping pit 4 (Figure 10).

Auf dem Formzylinder 1 befinden sich in Achsrichtung vorteilhaft 4 oder 6 Druckplatten nebeneinander, wobei mit jeder dieser Druckplatten in der beschriebenen Weise verfahren werden kann. Andrückrolle 11 und Betätigungselement 8 können dabei einer oder mehreren Druckplatten zugeordnet sein. Auch ist es möglich, dass ein Formzylinder in Umfangsrichtung nur eine Druckplatte trägt, wobei diese ebenso, wie beschrieben, montiert und demontiert wird. Als Andrückrolle 11 kann auch eine Farb- oder Feuchtauftragwalze oder der Übertragungszylinder 2 zum Einsatz kommen. On the forme cylinder 1 there are advantageously 4 or 6 in the axial direction Printing plates side by side, with each of these printing plates in the described way can be followed. Pressure roller 11 and Actuating element 8 can be assigned to one or more pressure plates his. It is also possible for a forme cylinder to have only one in the circumferential direction Pressure plate supports, this as well as assembled and disassembled as described becomes. As a pressure roller 11, a paint or dampening roller or Transfer cylinder 2 are used.
