Definitions

• the invention relates to the field of conveyor systems. More particularly, the invention relates to improved transfer belts, roller registration systems, associated structures, and related equipment.
• Conveyor belt systems have long been used to transfer objects, such as materials, objects, substrates, and workpieces.
• the transfer belt is suspended between a plurality of rollers, wherein one of the rollers, i.e. a drive roller, is typically connected to a drive mechanism, e.g. a motor, such that rotational movement of the drive mechanism results in rotational movement of the drive roller, which moves the belt with respect to the rollers, providing linear movement.
• a drive mechanism e.g. a motor
• Printing systems often use conveyor belt systems to transfer workpieces, such as but not limited to flexible substrates, e.g. paper or film, or rigid substrates, e.g. ceramic tiles.
• ceramic tiles are arranged upon a conveyor belt, and are moved through a print zone, which typically includes a plurality of print bars, wherein each of the print bar assemblies comprise a plurality of print heads that are arranged to controllably deliver ink onto the tiles as they are moved through the print zone.
• the required resolution of delivered ink has increased over time, such that the demands for increased accuracy can extend beyond the accuracy with which workpieces can be located and moved, particularly within a manufacturing environment, where workpieces are often required to be accurately moved through one or more print zones during the delivery of ink to the workpieces.
• some recent transfer belts have been manufactured with internal cables, such as comprising metal, e.g. stainless steel, which are required to be accurately welded. While such transfer belt materials may initially have favorable dimensional specifications, e.g. resistance to elongation, the dimensional stability of such belts is often lost during one or more joining processes, e.g. pressing, clamping and/or welding.
• Enhanced roller registration systems and associated structures provide improved registration for a transfer belt that is driven between rollers. Improved belt materials and construction techniques provide improved dimensional stability over prior transfer belts.
• one or more sensors provide signals that sense one or more workpieces at one or more locations on the transfer belt. The signals are sent to a controller, which is configured to integrate the detected location of the workpieces with one or more processes that are carried out with respect to the workpieces. While the enhanced roller registration system and structures may advantageously be used for a wide variety of conveyors, some current embodiments are adapted to printing systems, such as to deliver ink and/or glazing onto ceramic tiles.
