• The control panel is one of the most important components for
Offset Lithography machine that controls all the processes on the
machine including the feeder, registration, dampening, inking and
delivery system.
• The control panel is associated with an offset printing press and is
designed for convenience in operation. The panel has a button to
control all the movement of the printing press starts from the
feeder system up to the delivery system. The control panel is
associated with an offset printing press and requires little space,
while being simple and easy to operate for quality control.

DVP30094 OFFSET OPERATION

 Moveable Protective Device
• Movable protective devices are electrically
monitored. If a movable protective device
is actuated at production speed, the press
comes to an immediate standstill.
Fixed Protective Device
• Fixed protective devices prevent injuries
due to rotating rollers, cylinders, and
driving elements. They may only be
removed by professional personnel when
the press is switched off. Fixed protective
devices are not electrically monitored. Only
put the press into operation after all

fixed guards have been mounted. 13
 This is individual task. Students need to draw and list
name of one button on the control panel.
