The two chambers 82 and 84 located on either side of the piston of the cylinder 50 are thus supplied with compressed air.
  • the valve 52 first goes into spring centering position.
  • the air pressures in the chambers 82 and 84 are therefore balanced and the cylinders 22B and 24B of the lower printing unit 20B descend under the effect of their own weight.
  • the control unit of the press 1 causes the passage of the valve 52 in the position where the chamber 82 is supplied with pressurized air and the chamber 84 is vented.
  • This pressure limiter 86 when arranged as on the figure 11 upstream of the chamber 82, reduces the pressure in this chamber 82 relative to that in the chamber 84, when the valve 52 is in spring centering position. The pressure limiter 86 then makes it possible to slow down further the descent of the cylinders of the lower printing unit 20B during the transition to the off-press-off configuration.
