- the short-stroke cylinder is used to position the pressure pieces in the correct position on the jacket sleeve and / or the adapter sleeve and Long stroke cylinder pushing off the jacket sleeve and / or the adapter sleeve from the pressure roller and possibly also pulling it up.
- the long-stroke cylinder is expediently held in a bore in the bearing block.
- the pressure pieces are expediently adapted to the shape of the jacket sleeve and / or adapter sleeve to be pushed off by the pressure roller.
- the jacket sleeve can be provided with an annular groove at its end region facing the bearing block that overholds the pressure roller and the pressure pieces can be provided with wedges that engage in this annular groove.
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a side frame of a Fiexo printing machine, in which the bearing blocks of a printing roller and an anilox roller are mounted, which can be adjusted against each other and against an impression cylinder,
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a top view of a pressure roller which is mounted on the fly in a side frame with the interception bearing removed and a device for pushing off a casing sleeve and / or an adapter sleeve from the pressure roller.
- Fig. 3 shows a section through the pressure roller along the line III-III in Fig. 2 and
- Fig. 4 A to D different positions of on swiveling and movable in the axial direction thrust pieces on sleeves and / or adapter sleeves to be pushed out.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of the front of two cantilevered side frames 1 connected to the printing press frame, which are provided with windows forming openings 2, in the region of which on guide rails
- the bearing blocks 4, 5 of a printing roller 6 and an anilox roller 7 are movably mounted in such a way that the anilox roller 7 on the printing roller 6 on and from this can be switched off and the printing roller 6 alone or together with the anilox roller 7 on the impression cylinder 8 is adjustable.
- the two bearing blocks 4, 5 of a printing roller 6 and an anilox roller 7 are movably mounted in such a way that the anilox roller 7 on the printing roller 6 on and from this can be switched off and the printing roller 6 alone or together with the anilox roller 7 on the impression cylinder 8 is adjustable.
