Abstract:
A machine arrangement, that sequentially processes sheet-type substrates, includes a plurality of different processing stations, one of which includes a non-impact printing device that prints the substrates. Further processing stations are a primer application device that primes the substrates and a dryer for drying the primer applied to the substrates. The primer application device and the dryer precede the non-impact printing device, in the direction of travel of the substrates. The processing station including the non-impact printing device, also includes a printing cylinder, on the circumference of which, the non-impact printing device that prints the substrates is arranged.

Claim (Index 49):
A machine arrangement for the sequential processing of sheet-type substrates, comprising a plurality of different processing stations, wherein one of the processing stations includes a non-impact printing unit ( 06 ) for printing each of the substrates, wherein a primer application unit ( 02 ) for priming each of the substrates and a dryer ( 07 ;  121 ) for drying the primer applied to the substrates in question are provided as additional processing stations, wherein the primer application unit ( 02 ) and the dryer ( 07 ;  121 ) are each arranged upstream of the non-impact printing unit ( 06 ) in the transport direction (T) of the substrates in question, wherein the processing station that comprises the non-impact printing unit ( 06 ) includes a printing cylinder ( 117 ), wherein the non-impact printing unit ( 06 ) for printing each of the substrates is located on the periphery of the printing cylinder ( 117 ), wherein the primer application unit ( 02 ) is situated for applying the primer to the front side of each of the substrates and wherein the dryer ( 07 ;  121 ) is situated for drying the front side of each of the primed substrates, characterized in that the non-impact printing unit ( 06 ) is situated for printing the front side of each of the substrates, wherein three or four substrates are or at least can be arranged, one behind the other in each case, in the circumferential direction on the circumferential surface of each printing cylinder ( 117 ;  118 ), wherein a feed unit ( 01 ) and a rocking gripper ( 13 ) that cooperates with a transfer drum ( 14 ) are provided, wherein the substrates are picked up in the feed unit ( 01 ) and are transferred individually by means of the rocking gripper ( 13 ) to the transfer drum ( 14 ) and from there to a rotating impression cylinder ( 119 ), wherein the processing station that comprises the primer application unit ( 02 ) for priming the front side of each of the substrates includes a printing couple cylinder ( 82 ), which cooperates with the impression cylinder ( 119 ) and has a forme roller ( 83 ) in the form of an anilox roller ( 83 ), which is or at least can be thrown onto this printing couple cylinder ( 82 ), and also includes at least one doctor blade ( 84 ) that extends in the axial direction of the forme roller ( 83 ), or an ink chamber blade system ( 84 ).
