Abstract


The paper presents ergonomic aspects regarding the work of press operators in a printing house. It is proven that the organization and logistics of the workplace influence the comfort and efficiency of workers on the technological flow. The problem of lateral cutting of the stamped roll has been solved by adding two longitudinal knives on the die, thus eliminating the use of disc knife holders. Thus, the auxiliary adjustment time and the postural effort of the printing operators were reduced, who, for each stamping, adjusted the disc knives from unfavorable positions, imposed by the construction of the stamping machine.
