METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A MACHINE FOR PROCESSING SHEET MATERIAL

摘要

The invention relates to a method for controlling a machine for processing a sheet material. The aim of the invention is to provide a method for substentially reducing the set up time for a machine for processing the sheet material provided with at least one individually driven cylinder. For this purpose, a pressure contact between a directly driven plate cylinder (10) and an adjacent rubber blanker cylinder (8) is eliminated, said plate cylinder (10) is directly driven in such a way that it is twistable from the actual angular allocation to an angular position for removing a first printing form arranged on the plate cylinder (10) and a second printing form is applied and connected to said plate cylinder (10) which is rotated together with said second printing form by the direct drive to an angular affectation for printing. Simultaneously with change of the printing form on the plate cylinder (10) and elimination of pressure contact between the plate and the rubber blanker cylinder (10, 8), a cleaning device (7) is placed on the rubber blanker cylinder (8), the rubber blanket is cleaned and the cleaning device is removed before the rubber blanker cylinder (8) and the plate cylinder (10) provided with the second printing plate are again brought into pressure contact in a contact area.
