Method for arranging on a carrier a flexible printing plate manufactured substantially from photopolymer, and device for applying such a method

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for arranging a flexible printing plate on a cylindrical carrier, wherein the method comprises the steps of placing the printing plate on a table, cutting through the printing plate a first time parallel to the axis of the carrier, moving toward each other and bringing the printing plate and the carrier into mutual contact, rotating the carrier over a first arcuate part, wherein due to adhesion of the printing plate to the carrier the printing plate is wound onto the carrier and the printing plate is thereby displaced over the table, cutting through the printing plate, displaced on the table, a second time in the same direction, and rotating the carrier over a second arcuate part and thereby winding the printing plate further round the carrier, wherein the two cut edges of the printing plate arranged on the carrier make mutual contact.
