In web-fed rotary printing machines having a plurality of operating units arranged one after another, each unit having synchronously driven elements that interact directly or indirectly with the printing-material web, high reliability and short response times are achieved by a torque monitoring device having inputs for signals corresponding to the torque on at least one element of each operating unit. Upon the occurrence of an abrupt torque change on at least one monitored element, the monitoring device generates an output signal associated with a web break.

Method and apparatus for detecting web breaks

In order to provide, for rotating printing forms consisting of a material into which it is possible to inject energy effectively, that is to say which has high ohmic resistance and is magnetic, a device for thermal energy injection, in which hot gas does not have to be used and by means of which energy injection capable of being controlled with high accuracy in terms of time is possible, there is provided for carrying out the fixing operation means for the inductive fixing of the image information on the rotating printing form.
