Abstract: A system and method for aligning spray guns of a spray system includes a pair of adjustment mechanisms. A laser alignment system employs a target device.

Abstract: The present invention describes a platform assembly having a centre clamp (2) formed from at least two clamp segments (25), a platform (1) formed from multiple platform segments (15) fixed together and a plurality of brackets (6) mounted into the centre clamp (2) at one end and supporting the platform (1) at the other end. The centre clamp (2) is formed from at least two clamp segments (25), which are joined together around a post or trunk (70) and once joined together, the hole in the centre of the clamp (2) has clearance around the post or trunk (70), so that the clamp (2) can be used on multiple diameters. The clamp (2) includes adjustment means (5, U, L) that can be operated to adjust the pitch and roll of the platform (1, 50) to achieve its horizontal position before the clamp (2) is secured to the trunk or post (70) to fix this position.

Abstract: A device for removing folded signatures from a saddle-back conveyor includes a moving arm, a first gripper mounted on the moving arm, and an electromechanical actuator connected to the first gripper for opening and closing the first gripper, the electromechanical actuator being mounted on the moving arm. A method is also provided.

Abstract: A rotary blade device for interacting with printed materials has a rotating arm, a first pulley rotatably supported on the rotating arm, a first blade fixed to the first pulley, a fixed pulley, and a first belt connecting the first pulley to the fixed pulley so that as the arm rotates, the first pulley rotates with respect to the arm.

Abstract: A signature transfer device includes a rotating arm rotating about a first axis and a first gripper rotatably mounted on the rotating arm about a second axis, the first and second axes being parallel, the first gripper having a first gripper finger and a second gripper finger. An actuator is connected to the first gripper for opening and closing the first gripper as a function of the angle of the rotating arm about the first axis, and a compression spring connects the first gripper finger and the second gripper finger, the compression spring being compressed when the first gripper and the second gripper finger are apart.
