Abstract:
1. A method for setting a contact pressure between a displaceably seated first roller and at least a second roller of a printing press including: supporting each of said displaceably seated first roller and said second roller for rotation; supporting said displaceably seated, rotating first roller for displacement with respect to said second roller; providing at least one actuator for said displaceably seated, rotating first roller; using said at least one actuator for displacing said displaceably seated, rotating first roller into contact against said rotating second roller in a contact area; providing an angle of rotation sensor for said rotating second roller; providing a break in a surface of said rotating second roller; using said angle of rotation sensor for determining a first angular position of said break in said surface of said rotating second roller; and contacting said displaceably seated, rotating first roller against said rotating second roller in said contact area at a second, defined angular position on said rotating second roller different from said first angular position of said break in said surface of said rotating second roller.
