Definitions

  • Single flexible sheets 11 are fed to the rotary drum 10 from bin 12 by conveying belts 13.
  • Conveying belts 13 are entrained around driven roll 20 and idle roll 21.
  • a vacuum plenum 22 within the belts 13 is connected by conduit 23 to a vacuum source (not shown).
  • a solenoid 29 operates a mechanical paper gate 28 (Fig.2) of assembly 17 in the sheet path between paper guides 26a and 27 to prevent any sheet from proceeding to drum 10 until that sheet is released.
  • Drum 10 is driven in a load mode and in a print mode by a drum motor and servo assembly 62 (Fig.1).
  • a load mode includes both loading of a sheet and unloading of a previous sheet, if any.
  • Printing occurs during the PRINT period in the portion 72 of the curve, whereafter the drum is decelerated during the DECEL period in the portion 75-of the curve, until it has reached load velocity as indicated by the portion 71 of the curve.
  • the printed sheet Whilst the belt is moving at the selected velocity, the printed sheet is held against the lower run 468a of the belts by vacuum applied to vacuum plenum.22a (Fig.2) and passes between the run 468a and dryer 464 to be dried. When the sheet reaches the end of the run 468a, it is detached from the belts to be received in bin 14 (Fig.1). After the second sheet is printed, the belts are accelerated along the portion 488 of the curve until they reach load speed again at portion 484b of the curve, ready for the unloading of the second sheet.
  • the operation is repeated as often as necessary.
  • TEMP is less than CORRECT, the paper arrived early, and TEMP2 is added to half the difference between CORRECT (the time it should have arrived at the sensor) and TEMP (the time it actually arrived at the sensor). The difference is halved because the correction is applied in a direction to cause the paper to arrive late. If the arrival is too late, paper 11 will not stick on drum 10, because the vacuum ports of the drum will be uncovered. Only half the error is added in order to scale it so that the correction does not inadvertently become too great, resulting in the vacuum ports remaining uncovered after the paper arrives.
  • the drop trailing edge vacuum signal on line 170 is then dropped, causing vacuum to be directed to the trailing edge ports, so that the trailing edge of the paper 11 will be attracted when the paper reaches that point. Furthermore, the open gate solenoid signal on line 120 is also dropped, and an accelerate to print speed signal applied on line 131a to circuit 131 so that drum 10 accelerates up to print speed.
  • system 15 goes to NEXT (section 12) which is the routine that loads paper. As previously described, a new sheet 11 is then loaded, and a new print cycle in initiated.
  • Figs. 18 to 22 illustrate differing dryer configurations.
  • rolls 464a and 464b are hot rolls, whose energisation is controlled by a power control similar to control 460 (Fig.7).
  • the exit belts are segmented, with a forward section 468b and a rearward section 468c.
  • the thermal dryer is a .hot platen 464c having extended heat transfer surfaces spaced from belt run 468a. Again, the energisation of the platen is controlled by a power control similar to that in control 460.
