Printing press

Abstract

The machine (10) has a machine support structure (12) with a support element (14) e.g. base frame, partially made of rock e.g. natural rock. A bearing element accommodates part of one printing unit in the support element, where the support element provides one of bearing forces required for positioning the part of the printing unit in space, or a compensation force for gravitational force acting on the part of the printing unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a printing machine, in particular a printing machine for printing labels, having a machine support structure and at least one printing unit, the support structure comprising a support element, at least a part of which printing unit is received on the support element by means of a support element middle. Background technique [0002] For many years printing presses and the individual components used therein have been manufactured to a large extent from metallic materials, in particular steel, aluminum or titanium. Apart from the required properties based on some of their physical and technical characteristics, the traditional use of these materials is mainly due to the fact that the manufacture and production of metallic materials have been widely available not only in terms of qualitative properties but also in terms of production quantity capabilities. proper processing. In printing presses using modern printing technology, ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In printing presses using modern printing technology, large castings of metallic material are usually used for the machine support structure, which are technically expensive in terms of their shaping and often also undergo expensive processing steps
