Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Rotationstiefdruckwerk (10) mit einem Presseur (2), einem Formzylinder (3) und zwei Leitrollen (5) zum Führen des Bedruckstoffes (100), wobei das Rotationstiefdruckwerk (10) einen dem Formzylinder (3) zugeordneten Servoantrieb (7) zum Antreiben des Formzylinders (3) und einen dem Presseur (2) zugeordneten Aktuator (8) zur Höhenveränderung (h) des Presseurs (2) von einer Arbeitsstellung in eine Wartungsstellung aufweist und, wobei in dem Rotationstiefdruckwerk (10) eine aktuatorisch ansteuerbare Einrichtung zum Bahnspannungsausgleich (4) vorgesehen ist. Weiter betrifft die Erfindung ein Verfahren zum Warten eines solchen Rotationstiefdruckwerk (10) wobei der bahnförmige Bedruckstoff (100) nicht angehalten wird.

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to a rotogravure printing unit (10) having a impression roller (2), a forme cylinder (3) and two guide rollers (5) for guiding the printing material (100), wherein the rotogravure printing unit (10) has a servo drive (7) assigned to the forme cylinder (3) ) for driving the forme cylinder (3) and an actuator (8) associated with the impression roller (2) for changing the height (h) of the impression roller (2) from a working position to a maintenance position, and wherein an actuation device can be actuated in the rotogravure printing unit (10) for web tension compensation (4) is provided. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for servicing such a rotogravure printing unit (10) wherein the web-shaped printing material (100) is not stopped.
