METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING A CONVERTING MACHINE FOR SHEET MATERIAL

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling a processing machine for sheet-like material having at least one cylinder that can be driven individually and that carries a printing form. The method involves, inter alia, eliminating the pressurized printing contact between the plate cylinder 10 and adjacent rubber blanket cylinder 8 and for cleaning processes the inking unit rollers are separated on the drive side from the main drive and gear train of the sheet-guiding cylinder 6 and temporarily coupled with the directly driven plate cylinder 10. The plate cylinder 10 and inking unit rollers are driven at a first rotational speed and the rubber blanket cylinder 8 and the adjacent sheet-guiding cylinder 6 are driven at a second rotational speed by the main drive and gear train. After the cleaning process is completed, the temporary drive coupling is separated and the inking unit rollers are coupled with the main drive and gear train and the pressurized printing contact between the plate cylinder and rubber blanket cylinder is re-established.
