Abstract

In a web-fed rotary press having printing units arranged in two rows, a more universal use is achieved in that each row of printing units is assigned at least one transfer system, such as a transfer cylinder or a web contact pressure cylinder or a transfer and web guidance unit, and the transfer systems are arranged at a distance from each other on the mutually facing sides of the rows of printing units.

Claims (23)

1 . A web-fed rotary press having two printing units arranged in two rows, wherein each row of printing units is assigned at least one transfer system, such as a transfer cylinder or a web contact pressure cylinder or a transfer and web guidance unit, and wherein the transfer systems are arranged at a distance from each other on a mutually facing side of the rows of printing units.

2 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 1 , wherein the press is an indirect printing press and wherein the transfer cylinder is arranged downstream of an element carrying a printing image.

3 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 1 , wherein the press is an indirect printing press and wherein at least one endless transfer belt is connected downstream of an element carrying a printing image.

4 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 3 , wherein a transfer belt is connected downstream of the element carrying the printing image.

5 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 3 , wherein a common transfer belt is connected downstream of a plurality of elements carrying the printing image.

6 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 1 , wherein the press is a direct printing press and wherein an element carrying a printing image interacts with a respective transfer system.

7 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 2 , wherein the element carrying the printing image is a press cylinder.

8 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 3 , wherein the element carrying the printing image is a press cylinder.

9 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 6 , wherein the element carrying the printing image is a press cylinder.

10 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 1 , wherein for electrophotographic or magnetographic or ionographic printing processes, an element carrying a printing image is a photoconductor cylinder or a magnetizable cylinder or a dielectric cylinder.

11 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 1 , wherein for electrophotographic or magnetographic or ionographic printing processes, an element carrying a printing image is an endless belt.

12 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 1 , wherein a transfer or photoconductor belt is led over deflection rollers and one of the deflection rollers is arranged opposite the transfer system.

13 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 1 , wherein each row of printing units is assigned a carrier for a supply roll of printing material web.

14 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 1 , wherein deflection rollers are arranged in a web run between one row of printing units and the other row of printing units.

15 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 1 , wherein a web turner device is arranged between one row of printing units and the other row of printing units.

16 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 1 , wherein one row of printing units is drivable independently of the other row of printing units.

17 . A web-fed rotary press, comprising:

a first printing unit;

a second printing unit;

a first transfer system associated with the first printing unit and included on a side of the first printing unit that faces the second printing unit; and

a second transfer system associated with the second printing unit and included on a side of the second printing unit that faces the first printing unit;

wherein the first and second transfer systems are arranged at a distance from each other.

18 . The web-fed rotary press according to claim 17 , wherein the first printing unit is arranged in a first row of printing units, wherein the second printing unit is arranged in a second row of printing units, and wherein the first row is oriented opposite the second row.
