In the case of the satellite printing unit 02, the satellite cylinder or cylinders 18 are likewise rotationally drivable by a drive motor 61, mechanically independently of the associated printing units 13. The drive motors 61 are preferably as with respect to their angular position controlled electric motors 61, z. B. as asynchronous motors, synchronous motors or DC motors. In an advantageous embodiment is between the drive motor 61 and the driven cylinder 16; 17; 18 or cylinder pair 16, 17; 18, 18 at least one gear 62, in particular at least one reduction gear 62 (such as pinion, attachment 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 FIGS. 8 to 10, only the components of the right-hand half of the figure have corresponding reference numerals, since the left-hand side corresponds to the right-hand mirror image. There are in each case for upper and lower printing units alternative configurations for possibly existing inking or dampening 14; 20 indicated, which are to be transmitted alternately to each other.

In Fig. 8, all nine cylinders 16; 17; 18 each have their own drive motor 61, which each z. B. via a gear 62 on the cylinder 16; 17; 18 drives. The above illustrated inking unit 14 has, among other, not designated rollers two Grit cylinder 63, which rotationally together by means of its own drive motor 64 are drivable. The two distribution cylinders 63 are for generating an axial stroke by an unillustrated drive means axially movable and driven. The below illustrated inking unit 14 has only one distribution cylinder 63. The above Dampening 20 has, in addition to other, not designated rolls two distribution cylinder 66th on which rotatably driven together by means of its own drive motor 67 are. The two distribution cylinders 66 are not for generating an axial stroke by a shown drive means axially movable and driven.

Thus, a clear moment flow can be achieved and possibly Otherwise occurring tooth flank changes are avoided. An execution of a such drive train is shown schematically in Fig. 11.

The drive motor 61 drives via a pinion 71 to a torsionally rigid with the forme cylinder 16 connected drive wheel 72, which in turn to a with the transfer cylinder 17th rotatably connected drive wheel 73 drives. The drive wheel 73 is either widened executed or it is a second drive 74 with the transfer cylinder 17th 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 color and / or dampening unit 14; 20. The drive wheels 72; 73; 74; 77; 78 are preferably designed as gears. In the event that the forme cylinder 16 to adjust the axial position by, for example ± .DELTA.L axially displaceable is, at least the pinion 71 and the drive wheels 72 to 74 straight meshed executed. Between drive motor 61 and the gear 62 of pinion 71 and Drive wheel 72 may additionally include a dashed lines indicated, intentionally indicated 62 'be arranged. The drive on the forme cylinder 16 can alternatively also axially take the pin 76, wherein optionally 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 is in this Representation also via a pinion 71 on a drive wheel 79 associated therewith, in particular gear 79, driven. Each by an independent drive motor 61 driven drive train is in an advantageous embodiment, at least for themselves, possibly in even smaller units, encapsulated (engraved in Fig. 11 shown).

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

The offset by an odd multiple of half the partial web width b03a Partial web 03a; 03b; 03c is in front of the former 101; 102; 103 in one between the two aligned folding hoppers 101; 102; 103 lying flight cut longitudinally and runs on the folding structure 11 and the harp 09, d. H. undivided and / or shared Harp roller 89 and / or "short" harp roller 93, to (FIG. 16).

In Fig. 16 is a schematic section of Fig. 15 with exemplary different executed harp rollers 89; 93, wherein, for example, the partial web 03c from their original position (shown unfilled) by one and a half partial web widths b03a was shifted. She can, if, for example, with another Longitudinal cutting device 104 in front of the formers 101; 102; 103 is cut (then one print page or newspaper page wide), in each case in half with the part webs 03a and 03b each have a former 34; 102 are led. The two (intermediate) products then have z. B. in each case at least one pressure side wide partial web 03c1; 03c2 a previously two pages wide partial web 03a; 03b; 03c on. In addition, you can Partial webs 03a '; 03b '; 03c 'from others, z. B. in another printing unit 02 or another printing tower 01 printed webs 03 'on one or more of the Harp rollers 89; 93 accumulate. The in the same flight above or below each other running partial webs 03a, 03a ', 03c1; 03b, 03b ', 03c2; 03c 'can now z. B. respectively a strand 109; 111; 112 summarized a former 103; 102; 103 supplied become. In the exemplary embodiment, it is thus possible to use two in each case on both sides, in double-sized and triple-width printing units (eg four-color) printed webs 03; 03 'products or intermediates (also called notebooks or books) with following, depending on the occupancy of the forme cylinder 16 and the corresponding Operation of the folder 12 generate different number of pages: At Single production, d.
