Abstract:
1. A planographic printing plate manufacturing apparatus comprising: a cutting process section which cuts a web of a planographic printing plate in a thickness direction of the web by pinching the web with at least a pair of an upper knife and a lower knife, wherein the lower knife includes a flat part supporting a center of the web, a decline part gradually declined an upper end toward outside from the flat part, and a cutting edge part having an upper end gradually raised toward outside from the decline part to be a cutting edge, an angle of the lower knife at a boundary point between the decline part and the flat part is 135° or more, a boundary point between the decline part and the cutting edge part is provided so as to have a distance from the cutting edge in a width direction of the web which is greater or equal to a droop width of a lower surface of a product after the cutting process, and wherein the upper knife and the lower knife are arranged with a clearance in the width direction of the web to make a droop height of the planographic printing plate at a cutting position 25 to 70 μm, and a tip of a cutting edge of the lower knife has an acute angle of 70° or more, a top of the cutting edge is arranged to be lower than the flat part for holding a central part of the lower surface of the web, and a line connecting a cutting side end part of the flat part and the tip of the cutting edge has a level difference angle of more than 0° and 5° or less with respect to a horizontal line.
