Abstract:
The invention relates to an exposure apparatus (1) for exposing plate-shaped materials (2). The plate-shaped material (2) has a first side (3) and a second side (4) that lies opposite the first side (3). The exposure apparatus (1) comprises a first exposure unit (10) and a conveyor unit (30), wherein the first exposure unit (10) comprises at least one segment with a light source and has an embodiment so as to be rotatable about an axis (14), and the first exposure unit (10) and the conveyor unit (30) are configured in such a way that the first side (3) of the plate-shaped material (2) is supplied for an exposure in a first position (11) of the exposure unit (10) and the second side (4) of the plate-shaped material (2) is supplied for an exposure in a second position (12) of the exposure unit (10).
Further aspects of the invention relate to methods for exposing plate-shaped material and a printing plate that was produced from a plate-shaped material according to any one of the methods.
