Abstract:
For use with an ink chamber housing of a printing machine, a combination includes a doctor blade adapted to be secured to the ink chamber housing (10) so as to extend outwardly therefrom, the doctor blade including a doctoring plate (16) having a rear portion to be secured to the ink chamber housing and a front doctoring edge in contact with the outer surface of the roll (12) to meter ink thereto, and a chamber doctor blade shield (22) having one end fixed to the doctor blade in spaced relation from the doctoring edge and a second opposite free end unsecured to the doctoring plate, so as to cover the outer surface of the ink chamber housing to prevent ink from depositing thereon when the combined doctor blade and chamber doctor blade shield is clamped to the chamber housing.
Abstract:
A doctor apparatus (56) comprises a base (58) adapted to be fixed to a doctor back (10) and having a shelf (60) projecting forwardly therefrom. A compliant top plate (62) overlies the forwardly projecting shelf. The top plate has a rear portion fixed with respect to the base, and a front portion projecting forwardly beyond the shelf. Mutually spaced blade support members (74) are secured to the underside of the front portion of the top plate. The blade support members have front portions underlying and cooperating in spaced relationship with the underside of the front portion of the top plate to define mutually aligned receiving slots (80), and have rear portions underlying and cooperating in spaced relationship with the shelf to define mutually aligned recesses (82). A doctor blade (84) has a rear portion removably retained in the receiving slots, and a front portion projecting forwardly beyond the top plate. A resilient element (86) is confined in the recesses between the shelf and the rear portions of the blade support members.
Abstract:
Doctoring apparatus employs a doctor blade (20) supported by a holder (12) which is oscillated and shifted longitudinally in relation to a web of material (W) on a cylinder (10). The blade (20) is supplied as a coil from a cartridge (23). A back-up blade (48) bears on the doctor blade (20) with a loading force which can be varied along the doctor blade (20).
Abstract:
Das in einem schwenkbaren Rakelhalter befestigte Rakelmesser einer Rakelvorrichtung ist an eine Farbe aufnehmende Walze, vorzugsweise an den Formzylinder einer Tiefdruckmaschine, mit einstellbarem Winkel anstellbar. Um den Anstellwinkel und die Angriffslinie des Rakelmessers an der Walze und zusätzlich auch den Anstelldruck des Rakelmessers an die Walze auch während des Druckbetriebes zuverlässig und schnell einstellen zu können, ist der Rakelhalter (32) in einem Rahmen (14) schwenkbar gelagert, der seinerseits schwenkbar an Tragstücken (11,12) gelagert ist, die synchron linear verstellbar im Gestell (1) geführt sind. Der Rakelhalter (32) und der Rahmen (14) sind mit Schwenkantrieben und die Tragstücke (11,12) mit Linearantrieben versehen, die von einer zentralen Steuereinrichtung steuerbar sind (Fig.1)
Abstract:
Pour effectuer le montage d'un couteau racleur métallique flexible en forme de bande (4) dans les moyens de bridage conventionnels (1, 2) d'une machine rotative d'impression, on utilise un guide (5) ayant une première et une seconde surfaces d'arrêt (5a, 5b) qui sont linéaires et parallèles, et sont espacées d'une distance qui équivaut à la distance de protubérance du couteau (4) depuis les moyens de bridage (1, 2). Le couteau (4) vient s'appuyer contre une surface d'arrêt (5a), puis est fixé dans le guide (5). Le guide (5), avec le couteau (4) à l'intérieur du guide, est ensuite déplacé pour que la seconde surface d'arrêt (5b) s'appuie contre les moyens de bridage (1), la portion protubérante du couteau (4) étant insérée dans les moyens de bridage (1, 2). Les moyens de bridage (1, 2) sont serrés sur le couteau (4), et le guide (5) est enlevé. Pour un couteau (4) consistant en deux pièces en forme de bandes placées face à face, le guide (5) est pourvu d'une marche. Une pièce ou partie du couteau s'appuie contre la surface d'arrêt, et l'autre partie du couteau s'appuie contre la marche.
Abstract:
In an embodiment of the present invention, a squeegee blade holder is provided. The holder includes a first side member, a second side member, and a pivot portion between the first and second side members. The holder also includes a separator between the first and second side members for maintaining compression of the side members against the squeegee blade.In another embodiment of the present invention, a method of holding a squeegee blade in a holder is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a first holder side, and providing a second holder side. The method further includes compressing the first and second holder sides against the squeegee blade, and maintaining compression of the first and second holder sides against the squeegee blade.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for automatically adjusting the contact pressure between an intaglio cylinder and a wiping roller that further limits the amount of defective prints generated. The method adjusts said contact pressure by changing the position of the wiping roller shaft center with respect to the intaglio cylinder shaft center using a contact pressure adjustment motor. At least the position of the wiping roller shaft center at low speed and the position of the wiping roller shaft center during printing operation for which the contact pressures have been optimized during a previous printing are stored. Before starting the current printing operation, the wiping roller is moved to the stored low speed position. Then when the current printing operation is started, the wiping roller is moved to the stored printing operation position.
