Abstract
A device for coupling and uncoupling inking unit and dampening unit drives in rotary printing machines is actuated with an operator-accessible control knob mounted at a printing unit. A sensor assembly detects a safety rest or safety release movement of the control knob preceeding a switching movement of the control knob. A control shaft is connected to and rotatable by the control knob. A cam member with a cam surface is mounted on the control shaft. The cam surface is followed by sensing devices which continuously sense the cam surface. A traverser bushing is axially movably mounted in the printing unit. Transmission members are connected between the control knob and the traverser bushing for converting a switching movement of the control knob to an axial movement of the traverser bushing. The axial movement of the traverser bushing is between defined positions which cause the inking and/or dampening unit drives to be engaged and disengaged.
