Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of printing machinery, and particularly relates to a center roller unit of satellite flexible printing. BACKGROUND

[0002] Flexible printing is printing by using a flexible printing plate and transferring ink through a screen ink roller. During printing, the screen roller uniformly applies an ink layer of a certain thickness to the inked part of the printing plate, and then, under the action of the printing plate roller and the impression roller, the ink layer of the inked part is transferred to the surface of the printing material to form clear graphics and texts.

[0003] In satellite flexible printing, the plate roller part and the screen roller part are distributed around the center roller, and the center roller is the heart of the satellite flexible printing machine.
