An electrical drive system for angular positioning of one or several rotating and/or tilting machine components and equipment components, particularly of printing machines, including at least one electric motor having a rotor designed for rigid and direct coupling to the component, further including by one or several angle encoders for registering the angular motion of the rotor of the electric motor and/or the component, a signal processing module which receives the actual angle position signals from the angle encoder or encoders and which also receives the setpoint data for comparison with the actual data, and a power amplifier controlled by the signal processor and used for driving the electric motor.
A design of an angle encoder having one of a rotating and a tilting sensor rotor and associated stationary scanner including a hollow shaft encoder with pinion and associated scanning head, to determine an angular position of a pivoted, frame mounted machine component that is positioned in at least one of a longitudinal, oblique, transverse and diagonal position relative to an axis of the machine component, comprising:
A method for positioning a rotating machine component in at least one of a longitudinal, oblique, transverse, and diagonal position relative to an axis of the machine component for a printing machine connected to a drive system controlled by an angle encoder having one of a rotating and a tilting sensor rotor and associated stationary scanner to determine an angular position of the machine component, the angle encoder including a scanning head supported by a frame wherein the scanning head follows adjustments of the component and of the sensor rotor through a tracking device, the tracking device including a locking device, the method comprising the steps of:
