The slide is provided for enabling a slider to be displaced only parallel to said axis. The slider is equipped with rapid assembling and disassembling means that interact with mating means on the doctor blade for permitting the doctor blade to be rapidly fixed to or removed from the slider. The slider is designed for enabling it, in a first limit position situated on the outside of the cylinder, to rise in order to remove the doctor blade and, in a second limit position inside the cylinder, to be placed in front of the working position of the doctor blade. In this position, by turning over the slide, the doctor blade is placed in or removed from the working position. | 11-06-2008 |

| 20110197778 | METHOD FOR PROVIDING PRINTING FORMES AT INSTALLATION POSITIONS ON ONE OF A PLURALITY OF FORME CYLINDERS DISPOSED IN A PRINTING MACHINE PRESS AND FOR DISPOSING OF USED PRINTING FORMES FROM THE PRINTING PRESS - Printing plates are prepared at installation positions on one of a plurality of plate cylinders disposed in a printing machine. A plurality of flat printing plates, which are provided for a printing process to be carried out by the printing machine itself, and which printing plates are themselves bendable, at least along their length, are provided at the outlet of a plate line which is spatially separated from the printing machine and which comprises at least one plate exposure device. Each of the printing plates is temporarily stored in a specific shelf of a mobile collection container that has a plurality of such shelves. The printing plates which are stored in the same mobile collection containers are prepared for installation positions of the same plate cylinder. Each shelf of each of the mobile collection containers storing one of the printing plates is selected based on the intended installation position of the respective printing plate on the respective plate cylinder using data that is provided by a control unit of a production planning system. The data is provided prior to the storing of the printing plates. The printing plates which are stored in the mobile collection container, and which are to be provided to the same plate cylinder, are conveyed to the printing machine in a pre-sorted storage condition. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110226146 | METHOD FOR CHANGING PRINTING PLATES IN ROTARY PRINTING PRESSES HAVING A PLURALITY OF PRINTING UNITS, PRINTING PRESS AND CONTROLLER - A method for changing printing plates in rotary printing presses, including a plurality of printing units each having a plate cylinder and a dedicated drive for driving the plate cylinder independently of an associated blanket cylinder in a respective printing unit, includes moving the respective blanket cylinder at a somewhat higher circumferential speed than the associated plate cylinder while conveying one or more printing plates out of the printing unit, at least in one operating mode, during a plate changing operation. A printing press and a controller are also provided. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110283907 | Sleeve replacement system - The invention relates to a system for replacement of sleeves ( | 11-24-2011 |
