ABSTRACT:
In order cost effectively and in spite of the lowest possible expenditure on construction to permit the logical provision of printing plates of different types and sizes for an extremely wide range of printing plate exposers, in an apparatus for loading and/or unloading an exposer, in particular a drum exposer, with printing plates, having a suction means comprising at least one sucker plate and at least two suction heads connected to a vacuum system for picking up printing plates, in particular thermal printing plates, and a pivoting device for pivoting the suction means, it is proposed that the sucker plate be constructed in the form of a cylindrical segment and the suction means be pivotable about an axle which is arranged substantially parallel to the axis of the cylindrical segment.
