Arrangement for a printing machine and method for production

A method for producing an assembly for a printing machine, comprising

• providing a printing plate cylinder having a cylinder body;
• providing a printing sleeve;
• arranging the printing sleeve on an outer surface of the cylinder body of the printing plate cylinder in an end position;
• and
• bridging a gap between the printing plate cylinder and the printing sleeve by means of a transmission device, wherein
• a transmission connection which bridges the gap between the printing plate cylinder and the printing sleeve is formed between a connecting point on the printing plate cylinder side and a connecting point on the printing sleeve side using a connecting element of the transmission device, and
• the connecting element is displaced between a retracted position, in which the transmission connection is interrupted, and an extended position, in which the transmission connection is formed between the printing plate cylinder and the printing sleeve for at least one of the following types of transmission:
• transmission of a fluid, transmission of signals and transmission of electrical energy.
