  • Publication number: 20170334190
    Abstract: A gas collection device of a printing press includes an organic compound treatment system (33) including a gas chamber (34). The device includes a cover (3) configured to cover a print unit (2) of a printing press. The device includes a gas transfer device (4) configured to suck a gas of a volatile organic compound produced in the print unit (2) from the inside of the cover 3 and transfer the gas to the gas chamber (34). It is possible to provide a gas collection device of a printing press, which can prevent a work environment in which the printing press is installed from being deteriorated by the gas of the volatile organic compound.

  • Publication number: 20100230893
    Abstract: A sheet guide apparatus includes an impression cylinder having a gripper device for holding a thin sheet or a thick sheet and adapted to transport the thin sheet or the thick sheet, and an air blowing device comprising an air discharge duct and discharge nozzles for blowing air on the thin sheet or thick sheet being transported by the impression cylinder. The sheet guide apparatus comprises: a displacement gauge for detecting the distance to the thin sheet or thick sheet being transported by the impression cylinder; and a control device for controlling the air blowing device, based on the detection results of the displacement gauge, to adjust the flow rate of discharged air so that the distance between the thin sheet or thick sheet and the displacement gauge becomes a distance which prevents the unstable motion of the thin sheet or thick sheet.

  • Patent number: 7631599
    Abstract: A sheet guide apparatus includes a transfer cylinder, first vane members, and a lateral air blowing guide. The transfer cylinder conveys a sheet. The first vane members are arranged at at least one end of the transfer cylinder and rotate together with the transfer cylinder to discharge air in a radial direction. The lateral air blowing guide is arranged close to the transfer cylinder and discharges air from the first vane members toward the sheet which is conveyed as the transfer cylinder rotates.

  • Publication number: 20080264279
    Abstract: A sheeter apparatus includes: a cutter cylinder for cutting a transported web into sheets in cooperation with a fixed knife; lower high-speed transportation belts for transporting a cut sheet; and a suction device for sucking the cut sheet from suction ports of a suction roller, which causes the lower high-speed transportation belts to travel, in such a manner that a surface of the sheet which is on the other side of the surface facing the cutter cylinder adheres to the outer peripheral surface of the suction roller.

  • Patent number: 6899327
    Abstract: A sheet guide apparatus comprises gripper devices for holding and transporting a printed sheet, an impression cylinder and a transfer cylinder for holding and transporting the printed sheet received from the gripper device, and a first guide device for guiding the printed sheet being transported. A front end portion of the first guide device is located upstream, in the flow direction of the printed sheet, from a transfer position, where the printed sheet is transferred from the gripper device to the impression cylinder, and the front end portion of the first guide device is also located near the transfer position. Suction holes opening in a front end portion of a plate-shaped guide of the first guide device are provided for sucking air. The sheet guide apparatus suppresses fluttering or instability of the sheet.
