Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1407881A1] Process for assembling/disassembling flexible printing plates on the printing cylinder (1) of a rotary printing machine comprises an assembly process consisting of positioning the printing cylinder in an insertion position, inserting the front arm (7) of a printing plate (5) into a clamping groove (3), positioning a pressure roller (11) on the printing cylinder, rotating the printing cylinder forward, inserting the rear arm (9) of the printing plate into a clamping groove (4), and removing the pressure roller. The disassembly process consists of positioning the printing cylinder in a removal position, releasing the clamping of the rear arm of the pressure plate, removing the rear arm from the clamping groove, rotating the printing cylinder backward and removing the printing plate from the printing cylinder, releasing the clamping of the front arm of the printing plate, and removing the printing plate from the clamping groove.
