  • an inflatable bladder mechanism is periodically used to force the cleaning cloth into engagement with the blanket cylinder to clean the blanket cylinder in conjunction with water and/or solvent which is directed towards the cleaning cloth.
  • the automatic blanket cleaner as described in the foregoing patent has been a successful commercial embodiment for some time.
  • the commercial embodiment has been used in combination with switch means for indicating to the operator when the cloth on the cloth supply roll is near completion and when the cloth supply roll is empty.
  • the automatic blanket cylinder cleaner is used with a limit switch which determines or senses the diameter of the cloth on the cloth supply roll from which the length of cloth can be inferred.
  • the determination of the diameter of cloth remaining on the roll gives an estimation of the linear length of cloth remaining on the roll.
  • the switches or sensors are used in combination with a signal which can be visual and/or audio for the purpose of signalling to the operator then the cloth is near the end of its supply and when the supply of cloth has been depleted. Warning systems of the type described above has been used with success even though there are some limitations as to the accuracy of such systems.
  • a cloth supply roll may consist of about 11 m. (about twelve (12) yards) of cloth which can be used for about two hundred and fifty washes for a web press or about one hundred and twenty-five washes for a sheet feed press.

  • Electro Conductive Inks These inks have a high ohm resistance but the conductivity may be deactivated and the ink may come off if there is contact with water and/or moisture.
  • Electro Conductive Paints These paints have great conductivity characteristics and are cost effective. However, inductive sensors are not capable of detecting these conductive paints due to their lack of high ferrous content. In addition, such paints require air/heat to dry on application.
  • Conductive Graphite Resistant Coatings Such materials have high conductive characteristics and come in a gel like form and must be diluted in deionized water and mixed.
  • Capacitive Sensors The cloth has a low dielectric constant and detection is very difficult.
  • Capacitive Proximity Sensors In this situation, a sensor is used to sense dielectric materials, metals, conductive materials, rubber, glass, and sensing depends on the dielectric constant. These sensors tend to be large in size and the sensing distance is based on the size of the sensing head.

  • the indicia is preferably aluminum foil (31), but it may also be stainless steel, mercury, lead, brass or copper.
  • eddy currents are caused to be induced in the surface of the indicia. This causes a loss of energy in the oscillator circuit and a smaller amplitude of oscillation. This change in amplitude generates a signal until the indicia leaves the sensing area and the sensor returns to its normal state.
  • the preferred indicia material is aluminum foil having a thickness of about 0.0508 m (about .002 inches).
  • the distance between the aluminum foil and the sensor is approximately 6.35 mm (about .250 inches) maximum and there is accurate detection if within the sensing distance of 6.35 mm (.250 inches) maximum. It is desirable that the cloth be kept in a taut condition for reliable results. This form of the invention is not adversely affected by air borne dust or other contaminants.

  • the black stripe is in the range of about 13 to 25 mm (about 1 ⁇ 2 to 1 inch) in width, preferably one inch (about 25 mm) in width.
  • the infrared light strikes the indicia's surface and light is scattered by the surface at all angles with a small portion of the light is reflected back along the optical axis.
  • the sensing distance in the preferred embodiment is approximately 20 mm (approximately .80 inches).
  • the detection of the black stripe against the light colored fabric background depends on the density of the stripe and should be relatively dense for accurate detection since it requires a relatively large contrast differential to perform satisfactorily in an atmospheric area contaminated with dust, debris, etc. It is preferred that the density specification be about 1.14 as measured in a standard density manner. The density range measurement may be about .9 to 1.5 on the density measuring instrument.
  • Figure 11 shows in schematic perspective a painted black stripe 40 on a cloth roll. There are two such stripes as shown in Figure 13.

  • the senor is activated when the black stripes are within the sensor range to sound and/or display an appropriate alarm.
  • the cloth fabric C has a indicia such as a black stripe 22 painted therein.
  • Light is provided by any convenient source and a photoconductor 50 positioned to receive the light reflected light.
  • the difference in light generates an electric signal which goes to a comparator 52 having a reference threshold which can cause an alarm 54 of any form, visual or audible to be activated.
  • Diffuse Visible Sensing Another embodiment of the invention utilizes diffuse visible sensing where the sensor is used to detect black paint stripes on the cloth roll.
  • the sensing distance is .6 to .8 inches (about 15 to 20 mm) without a dust or debris on the lens or about 13 mm (about .5 inches) sensing distance with a corn starch or other debris on the lens.
  • the detection of the black stripe on the cloth roll can be detected even if the black stripe is not dense because the contract recognition between black and white is very high and the sensor can distinguish between light and heavy paint stripes.
  • the stripe is between 1 ⁇ 4 and 1 inch (about 6 and 25 mm) wide.
  • Fixed Focus Sensing there is a fixed focus convergent beam sensing and the light beam and sensing area is focused at a fixed distance in front of the sensing control. The power is thereby concentrated in one area for increased reliability and accuracy. The color contrast is high and the sensor can distinguish between light and heavy paint stripes. This form uses visible light rather than infrared light.
