Chain grippers in sheetfed offset presses transport substrates through the printing units and delivery system via gripper bars on transfer chains. They ensure precise sheet registration, stable transfer at high speeds, minimal marking, and consistent alignment, directly enhancing print accuracy, reducing jams, and supporting efficient multi-color production.

Daily maintenance includes inspecting gripper pads for wear, checking spring tension, and cleaning residues from ink or paper dust. Common issues involve pad abrasion, spring fatigue, misalignment, and gripper bar deformation. Replacement is recommended when gripping inconsistencies cause sheet slippage, registration errors, or frequent stoppages impacting productivity.
