Printing apparatus with rotatable transport pendulums

A printing apparatus for printing on substrates, the printing apparatus comprising:

• at least one printing device assigned a plurality of movable printing tables, each movable printing table having a conveyor track, along which the substrates are movable, and having a transport device for transporting the substrates from the conveyor track to the at least one printing device and back,
• wherein the transport device has first and second transport pendulums, each pivotable or rotatable about a respective pendulum axis and each having one of the plurality of movable printing tables on at least one end at a distance from the pendulum axis,
• wherein each movable printing table of the plurality of moveable printing tables is inserted by the first transport pendulum into a respective first position assigned to the printing device for a printing operation and pivotable into a respective second position in the conveyor track,
• wherein each movable printing table of the plurality of movable printing tables has a conveying device which also forms the conveyor track in the second position of the at least one movable printing table, and
• wherein the second transport pendulum is arranged and assigned next to the first transport pendulum in close proximity in a roots-arranged such that movement paths of the plurality of moveable printing tables overlap, and the first and second transport pendulums are mechanically or electrically coupled to each other so that colliding of the movable printing tables is prevented.
