Abstract
A method for the topically precise subsequent-engraving of printing cylinders wherein special marks are engraved in the cylinder and evaluated. The marks are engraved in the form of cups forming a cup track. The cups serve as reference marks for an axial feed and start of the subsequent-engraving in a circumferential direction. After the printing cylinder has been mounted in an engraving machine for subsequent-engraving, the cylinder is placed in rotation and the scanner is moved over the previously engraved cup track axially. A maximum of the signals received from the scanner is identified and a location of the maximum in the cup track is retained as a reference value for the axial feed during the following engraving. A cup track is provided with at least one defined gap that is free of cups. A first cup following the gap is identified by means of the scanner and evaluated as a reference location for a start of engraving in the circumferential direction for the following subsequent-engraving.
