Sheet-fed printing machine for different printing methods

A sheet-fed printing machine comprising:

• at least first, second and third sheet-fed printing units;
• wherein the first sheet-fed printing unit is formed as a first simultaneous sheet printing unit and has a first cylinder of a first type formed as a first collecting cylinder and has a second cylinder of the first type formed as a second collecting cylinder, which first and second cylinders of the first type one of have direct contact with one another and are arranged to interact directly with one another and each of which first and second cylinders of the first type has an axis of rotation;
• wherein a first axial plane contains both the axis of rotation of the first cylinder of the first type and the axis of rotation of the second cylinder of the first type;
• wherein a first reference plane contains at least an axis of rotation of one of the first and second cylinders of the first type and has a horizontal surface normal;
• wherein the first and second cylinders of the first type are arranged, at least during a processing operation, such that an intersection angle between the first axial plane and the first reference plane is no more than 45°;
• wherein the second sheet-fed printing unit has at least a third cylinder of the first type formed as a first impression cylinder;
• wherein the first and second collecting cylinders of the first sheet-fed printing unit and the at least one third cylinder of the first type formed as the first impression cylinder of the second sheet-fed printing unit have a same outer circumference;
• wherein the first simultaneous sheet printing unit has precisely four first forme cylinders, of which precisely a first two cylinders of the precisely four forme cylinders one of have direct contact with, and are arranged to interact directly with the first collecting cylinder and of which a second two cylinders of the precisely four first forme cylinders one of have direct contact with, and are arranged to interact directly with the second collecting cylinder;
• wherein the second sheet-fed printing unit has at least one second forme cylinder, which at least one second forme cylinder one of has direct contact with and is arranged to interact directly with the impression cylinder of the second sheet-fed printing unit and which at least one second forme cylinder is formed as a numbering forme cylinder;
• wherein the third sheet-fed printing unit is formed as a second simultaneous sheet-fed printing unit and has at least a fourth cylinder of the first type and formed as a third collecting cylinder;
• and
• wherein a unit length is assigned to the sheet-fed printing machine, and wherein the outer circumferences of the first, second, third and fourth cylinders of the first type of the at least first, second and third sheet-fed printing units correspond to double the unit length, and wherein respective outer circumferences of the precisely four forme cylinders of the first sheet-fed printing unit and the at least one second forme cylinder of the second sheet-fed printing unit are the same and each corresponds to the unit length.
