Patent number: 11884063Abstract: A friction reduction system for reducing friction of an intermediate transfer member (ITM) of a printing system, while the ITM is guided along the printing system by a guiding arrangement. The friction reduction system includes a fluid reservoir mounted within the printing system, a fluid depositing arrangement disposed along the ITM, and a control mechanism, adapted to control depositing of fluid, from the fluid depositing arrangement onto the guiding arrangement or onto at least a portion of the ITM. Depositing of the fluid reduces friction between the ITM and the guiding arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2023Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: LANDA CORPORATION LTD.Inventors: Helena Chechik, Shoham Livaderu, Matan Bar-On, Zohar Goldenstein

Publication number: 20230311478Abstract: Some embodiments relate to printing system is described that has an intermediate transfer member (ITM) in the form of a seamed endless belt for transporting an ink image from an image forming station, at which an ink image is deposited on ITM, to an impression station, where the ink image is transferred onto a printing substrate. Two drive members are provided for movement in synchronism with one another. Rotation of the drive members during installation of a new ITM serves to thread the strip through the printing system by pulling the strip from its leading end. Alternatively or additionally, indirect printing system comprising the ITM and an image forming station at which droplets of ink are applied to the ITM to form ink images thereon is disclosed. One or more blowing mechanisms (e.g. associated with the image forming station) are disclosed herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2023Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: AHARON SHMAISER, SAGI MOSKOVICH, Zohar GOLDENSTEIN, MATAN BAR-ON, YIFTACH KATZIR, HAGGAI KARLINSKI, ALON SIMAN-TOV, YEHOSHUA SHEINMAN, DANIEL ALKHANATI, ELAD PUR BUCHRAY

Publication number: 20220388300Abstract: An impression station of a printing system comprises a rotatable impression cylinder with an impression cylinder gap housing a plurality of grippers recessed therein. A pressure cylinder assembly comprises a pressure cylinder comprising a pressure cylinder gap and an angle portion joining a trailing edge of the pressure cylinder gap and an outer circumferential surface of the pressure cylinder. A compressible blanket is disposed around the circumference of the pressure cylinder. A margin insert is interposed between the pressure cylinder and the compressible blanket at least at the angle portion, such that a local external geometry of the pressure cylinder assembly at the angle portion is changed by the presence of the margin insert. The change in the local external geometry of the pressure cylinder assembly due to the presence of the margin insert is effective to reduce a dimension of an unprinted leading-edge margin.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Avshalom LEAN, Ittai WIENER, Matan BAR-ON

Patent number: 10703094Abstract: A printing system is described that has an intermediate transfer member in the form of a seamed endless belt for transporting an ink image from an image forming station, at which an ink image is deposited on the intermediate transfer member, to an impression station, where the ink image is transferred onto a printing substrate. The belt has along its edges formations of a greater thickness than the belt. The formations are received in channels to guide the belt and maintain the belt under lateral tension. Two drive members are provided, each located within a respective one of the channels. The two drive members are connected for movement in synchronism with one another and each has a respective laterally projecting gripper shaped for form locking engagement with the formations on a leading end of a strip from which the intermediate transfer member is to be formed.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2019Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: LANDA CORPORATION LTD.Inventors: Aharon Shmaiser, Sagi Moskovich, Zohar Goldenstein, Matan Bar-On, Yiftach Katzir
