METHOD OF CHANGING THE MOUNTING CONDITION OF A PRINTING MASTER ON A PRINTING MASTER CYLINDER

摘要

A method according to the invention of changing the mounting condition, in particular of mounting or dismounting, of a printing master (14) on a printing master cylinder (10) that comprises a first receiving element for the leading edge and a second receiving element for the trailing edge of the printing master (14) comprises rotating the printing master cylinder (10) at a first speed, actuating the first receiving element in at least one first phase position and actuating the second receiving element in at least one second phase position. At least between a third phase position (62, 70) and a fourth phase position (64, 72), the printing master cylinder (10) is rotated at a second speed, which differs from the first speed. Due to the reduced speed, the window of time for actuating one or both receiving elements can be extended to increase the precision and reliability of the locking and release.
