INKING SYSTEMS OF A PRINTING PRESS AND METHOD FOR OPERATING AN INKING SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to an inking system of a printing press for inking a printing cylinder. Said inking system is configured as a long roller inking system comprising two distributing cylinders, serially disposed in the roller train, namely a distributing cylinder that is mounted, in relation to the roller train, close to the printing cylinder and one that is mounted further away from the printing cylinder. The printing cylinder is rotationally force-driven by an angle position controlled drive motor and one of the two distributing cylinders of the inking system is rotationally force-driven by a drive motor that is mechanically independent of the drive of the printing cylinder. The second of the two distributing cylinders is rotationally driven merely by friction with adjacent rollers or cylinders, i.e. it is configured without a mechanical drive connection to one of the drive motors extending beyond friction for the purpose of rotationally driving it.
