Abstract

1349470 Rotary printing press HARRIS-INTERTYPE CORP 12 Oct 1971 [15 Oct 1970] 47461/71 Heading B6C [Also in Division G3] Registration of printed matter on a web is controlled in the longitudinal and lateral directions by a system responsive to separate registration marks, the signals produced by the marks for one direction being corrected for errors introduced by lack of registration in the other direction. In the embodiment four colours are printed on each side of a web 20, the control for one side only being shown. One cylinder pair is taken as a reference and its registration marks are detected by a photo-electric device 36a, the marks from the other cylinders being arranged transversely across the web and detected by similar detectors 36b ... 36d. The marks are as shown in Fig. 2, the lines 24a, 28a being transverse to the web for longitudinal (circumferential) registration and the inclined lines 24b, 28b being for lateral registration. The detectors scan along line C and hence produce successive pulses as the marks pass beneath them, but whereas the time interval between pulses from reference and control detectors 36a, 36b in respect of the transverse marks is dependent only upon longitudinal registration error d 1 , the interval between pulses in respect of the inclined lines will depend upon registration errors in both directions. To compensate for this the longitudinal error signal is algebraically added to the signal derived from the inclined lines to yield a true lateral error signal. These error signals are produced in respective counters to which are gated clock pulses related to the speed of the rolls. Logic circuits (Fig. 4, not shown) are arranged so that, at sampling intervals, the gates to both counters are opened by the first pulse from 36a or 36b and closed by the second. The counter counts up or down during this time according to which detector is activated first (to distinguish lag and lead errors). The next pair of pulses (produced by the inclined lines) gate the lateral error counter only so that the number in this counter only is the sum of the two gating periods. The counts are used to operate respective stepping motors 37, 39 to correct the position of the cylinders.
