Abstract: A roll-to-roll web processing system including a web supply roller operative for supplying web material, at least one upstream intermediate roller for receiving the web material from the web supply roller and directing the web material along at least a first web pathway portion, a processing subsystem arranged along at least a second web pathway portion, at least one downstream intermediate roller for receiving the web material from the processing subsystem and directing the web material along a third web pathway portion, and a web take up roller operative for taking up the web material, the first, second and third web pathway portions at least partially delimiting an internal volume interior of the at least one upstream intermediate roller, the processing subsystem and the at least one downstream intermediate roller and the web supply roller and the web take up roller being located in the internal volume.

Abstract: A vacuum hold-down system for use with workpieces of various shapes and/or sizes is disclosed. The system comprising a vacuum hold-down table defining a mask support plane and an apertured vacuum table mask which is selectably positionable on said mask support plane, wherein said vacuum hold-down table and said vacuum table mask is configured to define a plurality of selectable different contiguous arrays of vacuum apertures, by suitable relative positioning of said vacuum table mask and said vacuum hold-down table in said mask support plane.
