  • the clamping rail can be fixed in position on the plate cylinder by means of suitable clamping or tensioning means.
  • the guide is designed as a sliding guide and the upper clamping rail can be adjusted in position by means of an adjusting device in a sliding direction corresponding to the adjustment direction of the register element.
  • a sliding guide is manufacturing technology relatively easy to implement and is particularly suitable for compensating for fixing a pressure plate on the plate cylinder adjusting, with respect to the plate cylinder radial forces, at the same time a precise guidance of the upper clamping rail is ensured on the plate cylinder. This makes it possible to obtain a fast and correct adjustment of the respective register element by means of a defined position adjustment of the clamping rail by actuating a suitably designed adjusting device.
  • the adjusting device has at least one mechanical adjusting element for generating an adjusting force acting on the upper clamping rail. It can be provided as a mechanical adjusting element standing with the upper clamping rail in a suitable operative connection set screw, a wedge, an eccentric bolt or the like, by means of which an adjustment of the upper clamping rail in respect to the plate cylinder tangential direction can be achieved.

  • the clamping rail consists of a plurality of relatively movable sub-segments, each containing at least one register element. This makes it possible, each guided position sub-segments of the upper clamping rail independently adjust, preferably against an elastic restoring force, for example, as a result of elastic bending of the corresponding sub-segment. It is thus a particularly flexible and preferably automated adjustment of the respective register element by means of a controlled movement of the corresponding sub-segment feasible.
  • Registered element proposed in a printing press which has the features of claim 8.
  • the inventive method is characterized in that an upper clamping rail, on which the register element is fixed, is moved to adjust the same in a guide and fixed in position.
  • This method according to the invention is suitable for achieving the advantages mentioned in relation to the device.
  • the clamping rail is adjusted in position in a sliding guide by means of an adjusting device in the adjustment direction of the register element.
  • a guided in a slide upper clamping rail is precisely positionally adjustable in a particularly reliable manner and is thus suitable for a finely adjustable register element adjustment.
  • the adjusting force acting on the clamping rail is generated mechanically. This can be done for example by means of a manual adjustment of appropriately trained adjusting elements.
  • the adjusting force acting on the upper clamping rail is generated electrically.
  • the adjusting elements used for this purpose can be controlled in a relatively simple manner by means of a central control unit, so that the adjustment of a respective register element can advantageously be automated.

  • the movement and the position fixation of the upper clamping rail in the guide are preferably automated, and in particular by means of a central control unit.
  • any existing game between the upper clamping rail and a plate to be clamped pressure plate by means of suitably arranged measuring means (sensors) are determined and transmitted to the central control unit, which means a corresponding, automated positional adjustment of the upper clamping rail and thus a suitable positioning of the respective register element electrically controllable adjusting introduces.
