  • Patent number: 7444935
    Abstract: A process for adjusting the print image of a rotating machine equipped with transfer rollers and actuators assigned to them includes changing the position of the rollers. During the printing operation, at least one camera records the intensity of light reflected from the printed material. The camera also feeds the recorded measured values to a control and regulation unit that compares the recorded measured values with set values, and generates corrective signals for the actuator of at least one part of the rollers involved in the printing process. Based on the corrective signals, the actuator of the relative position of the roller assigned to it is actuated until the measured values once again lie within a tolerance range.

  • Publication number: 20060102038
    Abstract: A process for adjusting the print image of a rotating machine is described. The rotation printing machine is equipped with in transfer rollers (F, K) and actuators assigned to them, with which it is possible to change the position (x) of the rollers (F, K). The new and inventive element of this process is that during the printing operation, at least one camera records the intensity of the light reflected from the printed material. The camera also feeds the recorded measured values to a control and regulation unit that compares the recorded measured values with set values and generates corrective signals for the actuator of at least one part of the rollers involved in the printing process. Based on the corrective signals, the actuator of the relative position of the roller assigned to it is changed till the measured values once again lie within a tolerance range.

  • Patent number: 6634297
    Abstract: Introduced are a device and a process for setting the printed image of a rotary press by adjusting the relative position of the rollers (3, 7, 8) involved in the ink transfer. In this respect at least one part of these rollers (7, 8) can be moved toward each other both together and also independently of each other by means of their own actuating drives (M1 to M4), so that the rollers (3, 7, 8) involved in the printing process can be set into motion in relation to each other, In addition, there is at least one camera (K) that scans the printed image (10) on the printed material web (17) and that feeds the images shot in succession to an electronic control and regulating unit (13). This control and regulating unit (13) generates signals for the actuating drives of at least one part of the rollers (3, 7, 8) involved in the printing and inking process until or as the printed image is reproduced without area loss.
