Printing machine with positionable interacting cylinders
First Claim
1. A printing machine, with several interacting cylinders for printing purposes that are at least one of pivotable, rotatable, registration-adjustable and positionable relative to each other and are connected to a drive system including at least one electric motor with a rotor designed for rigid and direct coupling to the cylinders including at least one angle encoder which registers an angular motion of at least one of the rotor of the electric motor and of the cylinders, a signal processing module which is connected to the at least one angle encoder to receive and use actual angle position signals as input and designed to receive setpoint values and to compare the set point values with actual data, and a power amplifier which is controlled by the signal processing module and connected to the at least one electric motor for the control thereof wherein each of the cylinders is directly connected to an individual angle encoder for direct measurement of an angle position and by feeding the measured angle position into the drive system.

Abstract
An electrical drive system for angular positioning of one or several rotating and/or tilting machine components and equipment components, particularly of printing machines, including at least one electric motor having a rotor designed for rigid and direct coupling to the component, further including by one or several angle encoders for registering the angular motion of the rotor of the electric motor and/or the component, a signal processing module which receives the actual angle position signals from the angle encoder or encoders and which also receives the setpoint data for comparison with the actual data, and a power amplifier controlled by the signal processor and used for driving the electric motor.
