Abstract
Apparatus for and method of automatically applying a lubricant to a gravure cylinder set in an gravure engraving machine. With a rotational drive mechanism of the gravure engraving machine biased to cause the gravure cylinder to be under rotation, a lubricant is discharged to and spread on the surface of the gravure cylinder. The lubricant application apparatus is moved axially of the gravure cylinder. Accordingly, the surface of the gravure cylinder is scanned such that the lubricant is applied onto the whole surface of the gravure cylinder. To move the lubricant application apparatus, an engraving head moving mechanism of the gravure engraving machine can be utilized.
