Patent number: 11738579Abstract: A device for introducing patterns by radiating a wound continuous substrate. The device provides patterning during continuous roll-to-roll movement without material slippage and with minimal distortion by providing a dancer roll between a processing drum and an unwinder roll on one side, and a winder roll on the other side, for tautly guiding the continuous substrate along a contact surface of at least half of the circumference of the processing drum in order to drive the continuous substrate without slippage. The dancer rolls are adapted to tautly guide the advancing substrate web and returning substrate web with a constant force, and an equilibrium is adjustable between a defined counterforce and the constant action of force on the dancer roll by a stabilization device, and is maintained constant by a controller based on measured deflections of the dancer roll by controlling the rotational speed of the unwinder and winder rolls.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Laser Imaging Systems GmbHInventors: Peter Vogt, Toni Strobel, René Pagel, Uwe Klowsky, Steffen Ruecker, Christian Koenig, Marcus Witter

Patent number: 11656556Abstract: A movable table system comprising two identical tables on a common rail arrangement having a linear rail region underneath a detection unit and a processing unit, and therefore the tables can be alternatingly moved in a straight line along the common rail arrangement, in the same table-movement direction, fully underneath the detection unit and processing unit, and can be independently controlled by a computer unit. The movable table system provides a new option for processing planar workpieces, in which a particularly high throughput rate and improved precision can be achieved using merely one processing unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Laser Imaging Systems GmbHInventors: Steffen Ruecker, Uwe Klowsky

Patent number: 11417560Abstract: A device for fixing different-sized base area objects with a vacuum including on a table: first, second, and third vacuum chambers. The third chamber extending the first and second chambers to the entire x direction extension, and the second chamber having parallel, line-forming grooves in the x direction and connected to each other by a first connection channel in the y direction and being released/closed serially relative to the first chamber by a line-switching device. The third chamber includes parallel, column-forming grooves extending in the y direction and connected to each other via a second connection channel in the x direction and being released/closed serially relative to the first chamber by a column-switching device. The third chamber being released/closed serially in the y direction by the line-switching device, in a simultaneous, segmented manner according to the number and positions of the line-forming grooves in correspondence with the second chamber.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2017Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Laser Imagine Systems GmbHInventors: Urban Scholz-Goerlach, Uwe Klowsky, Guenter Flemming
