  • Each printing unit 8 comprises two printing units 10 whose transfer cylinders 14 are pressed against each other and clamp the band 6 during the execution of print jobs.
  • Each transfer cylinder 14 defines for the other a printing cylinder.
  • the printing towers 4 are aligned in a longitudinal direction L.
  • the printing towers 4 are regularly spaced in the longitudinal direction L.
  • the spacing E between each pair of adjacent printing towers 4 is constant.
  • the printing towers 4 define between them intermediate spaces 18. Each intermediate space 18 is delimited between two consecutive printing towers of the alignment of printing towers 4.
  • the intermediate spaces 18 have lengths in the longitudinal direction L substantially equal to the gap E.
  • the rotary press 2 comprises an alignment of four printing towers 4 defining between them three intermediate spaces 18.
  • Each printing tower 4 comprises a frame 20 supporting the cylinders 12, 14 of the printing units 8, each cylinder 12, 14 being rotatably mounted about its axis on the frame 20.
  • the frame 20 of each printing tower 4 is stationary relative to the ground S. It is fixed rigidly to the ground S.
  • each intermediate space 18 is of invariable length.
  • each print tower 4 has two transversely spaced side frames 22, only one side frame 22 being visible in the Figure.
  • the cylinders 12, 14 of the printing units 8 extend transversely between the two lateral frames 22 (perpendicular to the plane of the Figure) and being rotatably mounted at their axial ends on each of the two lateral frames 22.
  • the printing towers 4 have a height of several meters, for example a height of about four meters.
  • each printing tower 4 In operations or maintenance operations, it is necessary to be able to access the different printing units 8 of each printing tower 4, in particular the printing units of the upper part of each printing tower 4 , located at a height difficult to access by an operator from the ground S.
  • the rotary press 2 comprises at least one elevator designed for moving people (or elevator) mounted vertically movable along at least one printing tower 4 to allow operators to access the printing units 8 of the upper part of the printing tower 4.
  • the rotary press 2 here comprises several elevators, distributed so as to allow access to the upper part of each printing tower 4.
  • Each elevator is designed for the movement of people and also allows the movement of loads, especially for raising or lowering elements of printing units, such as rollers, blanket washing bars, plate change cassettes ...
  • the rotary press 2 comprises at least one intermediate elevator 24 disposed in the intermediate space 18 between two adjacent printing towers 4 and serving the two adjacent printing towers 4 delimiting the intermediate space 18.
  • Each intermediate elevator 24 allows an operator to access the printing units of each of the two printing towers 4 between which it is arranged.
  • Each intermediate elevator 24 has a width substantially equal to that of the intermediate space 18 in which it is received.
  • the rotary press 2 comprises an intermediate elevator 24 between each pair of adjacent printing towers 4.
  • Each intermediate elevator 24 is mounted vertically movable on the frame 20 of at least one of the two printing towers 4 that it serves. Each intermediate elevator 24 is movably mounted on the frame 20 of only one of the two printing towers 4 or on the frames 20 of the two printing towers 4.
  • each intermediate elevator 24 is movably mounted on a specific frame disposed between the frames 20 of the two printing towers 4.
  • the rotary press 2 further comprises two end elevators 30 each disposed along a printing tower 4 located at the end of the alignment of printing towers 4, on the side of the printing tower 4 opposite to the adjacent printing tower 4 of the printing tower alignment 4.
  • Each end elevator 30 is dedicated to an end print tower 4. It provides access to the associated print tower 4 on the side that is not served by an intermediate elevator 24.
  • Each intermediate or end elevator 30 comprises a platform 26 and a guard 28 to secure access thereto.
  • At least one elevator and preferably each elevator is configured to move from an extreme low position to a first height H1 defining a maximum operating height, stopping systematically at the first height H1.
  • the race between the extreme low position and the first height H1 is chosen to allow an operator to access the highest printing units of the print tower to perform operations.
  • the first height H1 makes it possible in particular to access the plate changing unit 19 of the highest printing unit.
  • At least one elevator and preferably each elevator, is configured to move from the first height H1 to a second height H2 greater than the first height H1, preferably following a specific manual action of the operator.
  • a manual action is, for example, a prolonged press on a lift control button of the elevator.
  • the second height H2 is chosen to allow an operator to carry out maintenance operations of the rotary press 2. It allows, for example between the completion of printing work, access to the upper part of the printing tower 4 , and especially above the highest printing unit of the printing tower, the passage of the strips and the environment of the printing tower 4.
  • Figure 1 are shown, successively from left to right, an intermediate elevator 24 in extreme low position, an intermediate elevator 24 to the first height H1 and an intermediate elevator to the second height H2.
  • the first height is for example of the order of 3 meters and the second height of the order of 4 meters.
  • Fixed print towers have a limited footprint and require limited space between print towers. In particular, they require a smaller spacing than between printing towers comprising two parts that are movable longitudinally with respect to one another to allow access between the two moving parts.
  • the rotary press composed of fixed printing towers with a small gap has a small total footprint allowing its implantation in old or new buildings of reduced size.
  • elevators to access the upper parts of the printing towers advantageously replaces the use of corridors defining an access stage to these upper parts, especially since the illustrated printing towers are vertically compact so that the height available at ground level, under the passageways, would be limited.
  • the intermediate elevator serving two adjacent printing towers allows easy access to the various printing towers while simplifying the rotary press and limiting its cost.
  • a rotary press according to the invention comprises at least two printing towers. It includes two print towers, three print towers, four print towers (as shown in the figure), or more.
  • the illustrated rotary press includes printing towers with four superposed double-sided printing units, each in a four-cylinder blanket blanket configuration.
  • the rotary press may comprise printing towers having superimposed printing units with different configurations.
  • a rotary press may comprise, for example, printing towers with several printing units superimposed, in a simplex configuration, in a double-sided blanket blanket configuration or in a satellite configuration, one-sided or two-sided, with five, seven or nine cylinders.
