Patent number: 10466687Abstract: A method controls a folding box machine having a plurality of machining stations and a plurality of control devices for controlling the quality of folding boxes. Each control device controls different quality features of each folding box, and each control device transmits the result of the control to a control unit. Target values are stored in the control unit in order to classify the control results into results which meet the quality standard and results which do not meet the quality standard, and a folding box is discharged depending on an evaluation. The method advantageously reduces waste.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2015Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Masterwork Group Co., Ltd.Inventors: Wolfgang Diehr, Mark Hammer, Frank Matthias Schmid

Patent number: 9205624Abstract: A rotary embossing device, in particular for making Braille embossments, includes a drive shaft and at least one embossing tool disposed thereon. The embossing tool includes a roller body, a mounting system and a tool sleeve. The tool sleeve is mounted to the roller body by the mounting system. The mounting system includes at least one mounting ring disposed between the roller body and the tool sleeve. The at least one mounting ring is advantageously engaged with an adjustment device for rotating the at least one mounting ring to adjust the angular position of the tool sleeve. The mounting ring includes at least one elastomeric ring and the mounting system further includes an axially displaceable mounting cover for compressing the at least one elastomeric ring. Tool sleeves can therefore be easily and quickly mounted and adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2014Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Masterwork Machinery Co.
