PRINTING PRESS
A printing press is configured such that the printing sheet is supplied from the paper feeding unit through the intermediate cylinder 14 while the ink is supplied from the ink apparatus to the blanket cylinder 11 through the printing cylinder 12 and, when the printing sheet passes between the blanket cylinder 11 and the impression cylinder 13 , the ink is transferred from the blanket cylinder 11 and, thereby, printing is executed. In the printing press, the rotary encoder 31 detects the rotation angle of the blanket cylinder 11 and the control unit 32 receives the instructions of the head portion finding switches 33 b, 33 c and drives and controls the driving unit 16 and, thereby, the blanket cylinder 11 can be rotated and stopped to/at the blanket replacement angle for replacing the blanket 28 wound around the blanket cylinder 11.
1 . A printing press that executes printing therein by supplying a printing sheet from a paper feeding unit through an intermediate cylinder, by supplying ink from an ink apparatus to a blanket cylinder through a printing cylinder, and by transferring the ink from the blanket cylinder to the printing sheet when the printing sheet passes between the blanket cylinder and an impression cylinder, comprising
a head portion finding unit that rotates and stops at least any one of the intermediate cylinder, the printing cylinder, the blanket cylinder, and the impression cylinder to/at a predetermined working position.
2 . The printing press of claim 1 , wherein
the head portion finding unit stops the blanket cylinder at an angle for replacing a blanket wound around the blanket cylinder.
3 . The printing press of claim 2 , wherein
an end of the blanket in the winding direction thereof is fixed on a gripping side winding shaft of the blanket cylinder while the other end of the blanket in the winding direction thereof is fixed on the gripping tail side winding shaft of the blanket cylinder, and
the head portion finding unit stops the blanket cylinder at a work angle to fix the end of the blanket on the gripping side winding shaft and a work angle to fix the other end of the blanket on the gripping tail side winding shaft.
4 . The printing press of claim 2 , wherein
a supporting bar to apply predetermined tension to the blanket to be wound around the blanket cylinder is provided in the vicinity of a position for replacing work of the blanket of the blanket cylinder.
5 . The printing press of claim 1 , wherein
the head portion finding unit stops the intermediate cylinder or the blanket cylinder or the impression cylinder at an oiling angle.
6 . The printing press of claim 5 , wherein
the head portion finding unit stops the intermediate cylinder or the blanket cylinder or the impression cylinder sequentially at a plurality of oiling angles.
7 . The printing press of claim 6 , wherein
the head portion finding unit has a storing unit that has sequentially stored therein a plurality of oiling angles for the intermediate cylinder or the blanket cylinder or the impression cylinder.
8 . The printing press of claim 7 , wherein
the storing unit has stored therein a plurality of stopping-for-oiling patterns, and
the head portion finding unit selects and executes a predetermined stopping-for-oiling pattern from the plurality of stopping-for-oiling patterns in response to a head portion finding instruction.
