Patent ID: 7387069

Claim:
A device for setting a contact pressure between selected ones of a plurality of displaceably seated first rollers and at least one second roller of a printing press comprising: at least first and second actuators in each of several of said plurality of displaceably seated first rollers, each of said at least first and second actuators in each of said several displaceably seated first rollers being adapted to move its associated one of said plurality of displaceably seated first rollers with respect to said at least one second roller; a source of fluid under pressure; at least first and second pressure control valves between said source of fluid under pressure and said at least first and second actuators in all of said plurality of displaceably seated first rollers, said first and second pressure control valves being adapted to provide first and second different pressure levels of said fluid under pressure to said plurality of displaceably seated first rollers; and a switching device between said first and second pressure control valves and said at least first and second actuators on all of said plurality of displaceably seated first rollers, said switching device being adapted to selectively connect said first and second different pressure levels of said fluid under pressure to said first and second actuators of selected ones of said several displaceably seated first rollers to set said contact pressure.
