  • the cylinder according to the invention is preferably an adapter cylinder and the further hollow cylinder is a pressure sleeve or a pressure sleeve precursor.
  • step d The application of the further hollow cylinder can be facilitated by generating a gas cushion between the cylinder and the hollow cylinder. This is made possible by supplying the cylinder with gas and corresponding gas outlet openings in the cylinder surface.
  • an air guide system can be provided in the hollow cylinder, which has openings on the inside facing the cylinder, through which air can flow and where it can generate an air cushion.
  • the hollow cylinder can then be fixed on the cylinder, for example by interrupting the gas supply, as a result of which the gas cushion disappears and the hollow cylinder is fastened. Another possibility is to equip the hollow cylinder with a fastening mechanism and then to use it.
  • Such a fastening mechanism is, for example, hydraulic or pneumatic clamping of the hollow cylinder or the use of locking screws.
  • the arrangement can be used, for example, for flexographic printing, letterpress printing, gravure printing or pad printing.
  • processing can in turn include several steps and for example milling, grinding, treatment with liquids, gases or plasma, treatment with electromagnetic waves, corna treatment, or gluing, e.g. with adhesive tape and other layers such as printing plates.
  • the following treatments are possible: ablation of a part of the surface by means of laser radiation, application of colors and transferring it to a substrate, covering the hollow cylinder with sheet-like materials while forming a roll, covering the hollow cylinder with further layers and their fixing or combinations thereof.
  • the cylinder according to the invention in the method can be, for example, an assembly cylinder for machining hollow cylinders, a printing cylinder or an adapter cylinder for mounting printing sleeves on a printing cylinder.
  • the further hollow cylinder can be, for example, a printing sleeve, a printing sleeve precursor, a sleeve or a core for rolls that can be loaded with sheet-like materials.
  • the cylinder according to the invention is preferably an adapter cylinder and the further hollow cylinder is a pressure sleeve or a pressure sleeve precursor.
  • step b The removal of the further hollow cylinder can be facilitated by generating a gas cushion between the cylinder according to the invention and the further hollow cylinder. This is made possible by a gas supply to the cylinder according to the invention and corresponding gas outlet openings in the cylinder surface.
  • the movable stop 1 comprises a positioning part 4 with a locking device 6, which prevents the pin 11 from being moved unintentionally.
  • the locking device 6 is in the in Figures 2a and 2b embodiment shown designed as a resilient pressure piece which is arranged on the positioning part 4.
  • a counterpart in the form of a depression in which the pressure piece can engage is arranged directly on pin 11.
  • the positioning part 4 can be dispensed with.
  • FIG. 3 A cylinder 2 is shown, on which three different movable stops 1 are arranged by way of example.
  • the three movable stops 1 are arranged distributed over the length of the cylinder 2 and, in the example of FIG Figure 3 different arrangements of the axis of rotation 7.
  • the axis of rotation 7 is arranged such that it forms an angle of 0 ° with the longitudinal axis 8 of the cylinder 2 (parallel arrangement).
  • the respective axes of rotation 7 and the longitudinal axis 8 of the cylinder 2 an angle of 90 ° or 270 ° (vertical arrangements). All other angles in between are also possible.
  • an arrangement of the axis of rotation 7 with an angle of 270 ° as with the third movable stop 1c) is preferred.
