Description

本発明は、見当制御ユニットおよび多色刷印刷システムに関する。 The present invention relates to register control units and multicolor printing systems.

Description of the Related Art A multicolor printing system is known in which a plurality of printing units are installed along a transport path of a web, which is a medium to be printed, and a plate cylinder provided in each printing unit is individually rotationally driven to sequentially print on the web. . In a multi-color printing system, each printing unit detects registration marks printed on a web, and based on the detection results, controls misalignment of printing positions between plate cylinders.

特許文献１は、透光性を有するウェブに印刷された見当マークを検出するための技術を開示する。特許文献１では、ウェブを挟んでセンサと対向するように反射板を設け、センサの発光部が光を照射し、見当マークで反射した反射光あるいはウェブを透過して反射板で反射した反射光をセンサの受光部で受光し、見当マークで反射されたときの反射光と反射板で反射されたときの反射光との強度差に基づいて見当マークを検出する。 Patent Literature 1 discloses a technique for detecting register marks printed on a translucent web. In Patent Document 1, a reflector is provided so as to face a sensor with a web sandwiched therebetween. is received by the light receiving portion of the sensor, and the registration mark is detected based on the intensity difference between the reflected light when reflected by the registration mark and the reflected light when reflected by the reflector.

照射光の色と見当マークの色の組み合わせによっては、見当マークが比較的強い反射光を返す。この場合、特許文献１の技術では、見当マークからの反射光と反射板からの反射光との強度差が小さくなり、見当マークを精度良く検出できない。対策として、見当マークが比較的弱い反射光を返すように照射光の色を切り替えることも考えられるが、センサの構造上、切り替えられる照射光の色は数色程度であり、見当マークの色によっては対応できない。 Depending on the combination of the color of the illuminating light and the color of the register mark, the register mark will return relatively strong reflected light. In this case, with the technique of Patent Document 1, the intensity difference between the reflected light from the register mark and the reflected light from the reflector becomes small, and the register mark cannot be detected with high accuracy. As a countermeasure, it is conceivable to switch the color of the illuminating light so that the register mark returns relatively weak reflected light, but due to the structure of the sensor, the color of the illuminating light that can be switched is about several colors, and it depends on the color of the register mark. cannot handle.

Moreover, the embodiments are illustrative rather than limiting the invention, and not all features and combinations thereof described in the embodiments are necessarily essential to the invention.

図１は、実施の形態に係る多色刷印刷システム１００の構成を示す図である。多色刷印刷システム１００は、第１印刷ユニット１０Ａ、第２印刷ユニット１０Ｂと、見当制御ユニット２０と、を備える。第１印刷ユニット１０Ａおよび第２印刷ユニット１０Ｂはそれぞれ、版胴１１と、圧胴１２と、を含む。ウェブ２は、ガイドロール４により所定の搬送路に沿って案内され、圧胴１２により版胴１１に圧接される。ウェブ２には版胴１１に対応した色の絵柄および見当マークが印刷される。第１印刷ユニット１０Ａでは第１見当マーク６Ａ（図１では不図示）が印刷され、第２印刷ユニット１０Ｂでは第２見当マーク６Ｂ（図１では不図示）が印刷される。多色刷印刷システム１００が対象とするウェブ２は、透光性を有するウェブであり、例えば透明のウェブである。 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a multicolor printing system 100 according to an embodiment. The multicolor printing system 100 includes a first printing unit 10A, a second printing unit 10B, and a register control unit 20. As shown in FIG. First printing unit 10A and second printing unit 10B each include plate cylinder 11 and impression cylinder 12 . The web 2 is guided along a predetermined conveying path by the guide rolls 4 and pressed against the plate cylinder 11 by the impression cylinder 12 . The web 2 is printed with patterns and registration marks of colors corresponding to the plate cylinder 11 . The first printing unit 10A prints a first register mark 6A (not shown in FIG. 1), and the second printing unit 10B prints a second register mark 6B (not shown in FIG. 1). The web 2 targeted by the multicolor printing system 100 is a translucent web, such as a transparent web.

見当制御ユニット２０は、第１センサ３０ａと、第２センサ３０ｂと、第１背景部５０ａと、第２背景部５０ｂと、制御部４０と、を備える。これらは、ウェブ２に印刷された見当マークを検出し、その検出結果に基づいて第１印刷ユニット１０Ａと第２印刷ユニット１０Ｂとの間で見当ずれが生じているか否か判定する。見当ずれが生じている場合、版胴１１の回転量を増減させて見当ずれを解消させる。 The register control unit 20 includes a first sensor 30 a , a second sensor 30 b , a first background portion 50 a , a second background portion 50 b , and a control portion 40 . These detect registration marks printed on the web 2 and determine whether or not there is a misregistration between the first printing unit 10A and the second printing unit 10B based on the detection results. If misregistration occurs, the amount of rotation of the plate cylinder 11 is increased or decreased to eliminate the misregistration.

図２は、見当制御ユニット２０の機能および構成を示すブロック図である。 FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functions and configuration of the registration control unit 20. As shown in FIG.

第１背景部５０ａは、ウェブ２を挟んで第１センサ３０ａと対向するように、より具体的には、ウェブ２を透過した、第１センサ３０ａの光源３２からの光が照射されるように配置される。第１背景部５０ａは、形状は特に限定しないが、本実施の形態では板状の形状を有する。第１背景部５０ａは、交換可能であり、後述するように第１見当マーク６Ａの検出に適した色の背景部が採用される。 The first background portion 50a faces the first sensor 30a with the web 2 interposed therebetween. placed. Although the shape of the first background portion 50a is not particularly limited, it has a plate-like shape in the present embodiment. The first background portion 50a is replaceable, and a background portion having a color suitable for detecting the first register mark 6A is adopted as described later.

第２背景部５０ｂは、ウェブ２を挟んで第２センサ３０ｂと対向するように、より具体的には、ウェブ２を透過した、第２センサ３０ｂの光源３２からの光が照射されるように配置される。第２背景部５０ｂは、形状は特に限定しないが、本実施の形態では板状の形状を有する。第２背景部５０ｂは、交換可能であり、後述するように第２見当マーク６Ｂの検出に適した色の背景部が採用される。 The second background portion 50b faces the second sensor 30b with the web 2 interposed therebetween. placed. Although the shape of the second background portion 50b is not particularly limited, it has a plate-like shape in the present embodiment. The second background portion 50b is replaceable, and a background portion having a color suitable for detecting the second register mark 6B is adopted as described later.

第１センサ３０ａと第２センサ３０ｂは間隔Ｌで配置される。間隔Ｌは、見当ずれが生じていないときにおける第１見当マーク６Ａと第２見当マーク６Ｂとの距離に相当する。第１センサ３０ａおよび第２センサ３０ｂは、光学式のセンサであり、それぞれ光源３２と、光学系３３と、受光素子３４と、を含む。 The first sensor 30a and the second sensor 30b are arranged with an interval L therebetween. The interval L corresponds to the distance between the first register mark 6A and the second register mark 6B when there is no misregistration. The first sensor 30a and the second sensor 30b are optical sensors, each including a light source 32, an optical system 33, and a light receiving element .

光源３２は、ウェブ２に向けて光を照射する。光源３２は特に、見当マークが通過する領域に向けて光を照射する。光源３２から照射された光は、見当マークに照射され、そこで反射して光学系３３により集光され、受光素子３４により受光される。あるいは、光源から照射された光は、ウェブ２を透過して背景部に照射され、そこで反射して再びウェブ２を透過し、光学系３３により集光され、受光素子３４により受光される。 The light source 32 irradiates the web 2 with light. The light source 32 in particular directs light towards the area through which the register marks pass. The light emitted from the light source 32 is applied to the register mark, reflected there, condensed by the optical system 33 , and received by the light receiving element 34 . Alternatively, the light emitted from the light source passes through the web 2, is applied to the background portion, is reflected there, passes through the web 2 again, is condensed by the optical system 33, and is received by the light receiving element .

光学系３３は公知の技術を用いて構成される。 Optical system 33 is constructed using known techniques.

受光素子３４は、例えばフォトダイオードである。受光素子３４は、受光した光を電流信号に変換して出力する。この電流信号の大きさは、受光した光の強度と受光感度との乗算値を波長毎に積算した大きさである。つまり受光素子３４は、受光した光に応じた電流信号を出力する。電流信号は、不図示の電流電圧変換回路によって電圧信号に変換され、制御部４０に出力される。 The light receiving element 34 is, for example, a photodiode. The light receiving element 34 converts the received light into a current signal and outputs the current signal. The magnitude of this current signal is the magnitude obtained by integrating the product of the intensity of the received light and the photosensitivity for each wavelength. That is, the light receiving element 34 outputs a current signal corresponding to the received light. The current signal is converted into a voltage signal by a current-voltage conversion circuit (not shown) and output to the control section 40 .

制御部４０は、第１見当マーク検出部４４ａと、第２見当マーク検出部４４ｂと、見当誤差制御部４６と、を含む。 The control section 40 includes a first registration mark detection section 44 a , a second registration mark detection section 44 b , and a registration error control section 46 .

第１見当マーク検出部４４ａは、第１センサ部３１ａから出力される信号に基づいて、第１見当マーク６Ａを検出する。第１見当マーク検出部４４ａは、第１センサ部３１ａから出力された信号の信号強度と所定の検出閾値とを比較し、例えば信号強度が検出閾値を超えたとき、そのタイミングで第１見当マーク６Ａを検出した（検出領域に第１見当マーク６Ａが到達した）と判断する。第２見当マーク検出部４４ｂは、第２センサ部３１ｂから出力される信号に基づいて、第２見当マーク６Ｂを検出する。第２見当マーク検出部４４ｂは、第１見当マーク検出部４４ａと同様に構成される。 The first register mark detection section 44a detects the first register mark 6A based on the signal output from the first sensor section 31a. The first registration mark detection unit 44a compares the signal strength of the signal output from the first sensor unit 31a with a predetermined detection threshold value, and detects the first registration mark at that timing, for example, when the signal strength exceeds the detection threshold value. 6A is detected (the first registration mark 6A has reached the detection area). The second register mark detection section 44b detects the second register mark 6B based on the signal output from the second sensor section 31b. The second register mark detection section 44b is configured similarly to the first register mark detection section 44a.

見当誤差制御部４６には、第１見当マーク検出部４４ａおよび第２見当マーク検出部４４ｂのそれぞれから検出結果が入力される。見当誤差制御部４６は、これらの検出結果に基づき各版胴１１間で生じる印刷位置のずれ、すなわち見当ずれの有無を判断する。上述したように、第１センサ部３１ａと第２センサ部３１ｂは間隔Ｌで配置され、見当ずれが生じていないときは第１見当マーク６Ａと第２見当マーク６Ｂも間隔Ｌで印刷されるため、見当ずれが生じていない場合、第１見当マーク６Ａと第２見当マーク６Ｂは実質的に同一のタイミングで検出される。したがって、第１見当マーク検出部４４ａによって第１見当マーク６Ａが検出された第１時刻と、第２見当マーク検出部４４ｂによって第２見当マーク６Ｂが検出された第２時刻とが実質的に同一であるとき、見当誤差制御部４６は、見当ずれが生じていないと判断する。一方、第１時刻と第２時刻とが異なるとき、見当誤差制御部４６は、第１時刻と第２時刻との差分にウェブ２の送り速度を乗じた分だけ走行方向に見当ずれが生じていると判断する。 The registration error control section 46 receives detection results from the first registration mark detection section 44a and the second registration mark detection section 44b. Based on these detection results, the registration error control unit 46 determines the presence or absence of misregistration, that is, misregistration between the printing cylinders 11 . As described above, the first sensor portion 31a and the second sensor portion 31b are arranged at the interval L, and the first register mark 6A and the second register mark 6B are also printed at the interval L when there is no misregistration. If there is no misregistration, the first register mark 6A and the second register mark 6B are detected at substantially the same timing. Therefore, the first time when the first register mark 6A is detected by the first register mark detecting section 44a and the second time when the second register mark 6B is detected by the second register mark detecting section 44b are substantially the same. , the registration error control unit 46 determines that there is no misregistration. On the other hand, when the first time and the second time are different, the registration error control section 46 multiplies the difference between the first time and the second time by the feeding speed of the web 2, and the misregistration occurs in the traveling direction. judge that there is

見当ずれが生じている場合、見当誤差制御部４６は、例えば第２印刷ユニット１０Ｂの駆動モータ（不図示）に補正信号を出力する。駆動モータは補正信号に基づき見当ずれが修正されるよう版胴１１を駆動する。これにより、走行方向におけるウェブ２の見当ずれが調整される。 If misregistration occurs, the registration error control section 46 outputs a correction signal to, for example, a drive motor (not shown) of the second printing unit 10B. The drive motor drives the plate cylinder 11 so that the misregistration is corrected based on the correction signal. This adjusts the misregistration of the web 2 in the running direction.

以上が、多色刷印刷システム１００の基本的な構成とその動作である。 The above is the basic configuration and operation of the multicolor printing system 100 .

続いて、光源３２が照射する光の波長、受光素子３４の感度波長範囲、見当マークの色、および背景部の色の関係について詳細に説明する。感度波長範囲とは、受光感度が所定の第１閾値以上の波長の範囲をいう。第１閾値は、実験による知見から、適宜設定することができる。以下では、第１センサ３０ａの光源３２が照射する光の波長、第１センサ３０ａの受光素子３４の感度波長範囲、第１見当マーク６Ａの色および第１背景部５０ａの色の関係について説明するが、第２センサ３０ｂの光源３２が照射する光の波長、第２センサ３０ｂの受光素子３４の感度波長範囲、第２見当マーク６Ｂの色および第２背景部５０ｂの色についても同様の説明が当てはまる。 Next, the relationship between the wavelength of the light emitted by the light source 32, the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34, the color of the register mark, and the color of the background will be described in detail. The sensitivity wavelength range refers to a range of wavelengths in which the photosensitivity is equal to or greater than a predetermined first threshold. The first threshold can be appropriately set based on experimental findings. The following describes the relationship between the wavelength of light emitted by the light source 32 of the first sensor 30a, the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34 of the first sensor 30a, the color of the first register mark 6A, and the color of the first background portion 50a. However, the same description applies to the wavelength of the light emitted by the light source 32 of the second sensor 30b, the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34 of the second sensor 30b, the color of the second register mark 6B, and the color of the second background portion 50b. apply.

ところで、物体に照射された光は、一部の波長成分は反射され、残りの反射成分は吸収される。どの波長成分が反射されてどの波長成分が吸収されるかは、すなわちどの波長成分の反射率が高くてどの波長成分の反射率が低いかは、物体表面の色によって異なる。このような特性は、分光反射率特性とも呼ばれる。 By the way, part of the wavelength components of the light irradiated to the object is reflected, and the rest of the reflected components are absorbed. Which wavelength component is reflected and which wavelength component is absorbed, that is, which wavelength component has high reflectance and which wavelength component has low reflectance depends on the color of the object surface. Such characteristics are also called spectral reflectance characteristics.

例えば、表面が赤色の物体は、赤色の波長成分（長波長成分）の反射率は高く、青色の波長成分（短波長成分）や緑色の波長成分（中波長成分）の反射率は低い。したがって、表面が赤色の物体に赤色の波長成分の強度が高い光を照射すると、照射光のほとんどが反射されるため、反射光の強度は比較的高くなる。一方、表面が赤色の物体に、赤色の波長成分の強度が低い光あるいは赤色の波長成分を含まない光、例えば青色の波長成分や緑色の波長成分のみを含む光を照射すると、照射光のほとんどが吸収されるため、反射光の強度は比較的低くなる。 For example, an object with a red surface has high reflectance for red wavelength components (long wavelength components) and low reflectance for blue wavelength components (short wavelength components) and green wavelength components (middle wavelength components). Therefore, when an object whose surface is red is irradiated with light having a high intensity of red wavelength components, most of the irradiated light is reflected, and the intensity of the reflected light is relatively high. On the other hand, when an object with a red surface is irradiated with light with a low intensity of red wavelength components or light that does not contain red wavelength components, for example, light containing only blue or green wavelength components, most of the irradiated light is is absorbed, the intensity of the reflected light is relatively low.

また例えば、表面が青色の物体は、青色の波長成分（短波長成分）の反射率は高く、緑色の波長成分（中波長成分）や赤色の波長成分（長波長成分）の反射率は低い。したがって、表面が青色の物体に青色の波長成分の強度が高い光を照射すると、照射光のほとんどが反射されるため、反射光の強度は比較的高くなる。一方、表面が青色の物体に、青色の波長成分の強度が低い光あるいは青色の波長成分を含まない光、例えば緑色の波長成分や赤色の波長成分のみを含む光を照射すると、照射光のほとんどが吸収されるため、反射光の強度は比較的弱くなる。 For example, an object with a blue surface has high reflectance for blue wavelength components (short wavelength components) and low reflectance for green wavelength components (middle wavelength components) and red wavelength components (long wavelength components). Therefore, when an object whose surface is blue is irradiated with light having a high intensity of blue wavelength components, most of the irradiated light is reflected, and the intensity of the reflected light is relatively high. On the other hand, when an object with a blue surface is irradiated with light having a low intensity of blue wavelength components or light containing no blue wavelength components, for example, light containing only green or red wavelength components, most of the irradiated light is is absorbed, the intensity of the reflected light is relatively weak.

本実施の形態では、この原理を利用して見当マークを精度良く検出する。 In the present embodiment, this principle is used to accurately detect the register mark.

図３は、第１センサ３０の光源３２が照射する光の波長と、第１センサ３０の受光素子３４の感度波長範囲との関係の一例を示す図である。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between the wavelength of light emitted by the light source 32 of the first sensor 30 and the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34 of the first sensor 30. As shown in FIG.

図３の例では、光源３２は、受光素子３４の感度波長範囲の全ての波長を含む光を照射する。すなわち、光源３２が照射する光の波長域は、受光素子３４の感度波長範囲を包含する。なお、光源３２が照射する光の波長域とは、当該光に含まれる各波長成分のうち、強度が所定の第２閾値以上である波長成分の範囲をいう。第２閾値は、実験による知見から、適宜設定することができる。 In the example of FIG. 3, the light source 32 emits light containing all wavelengths within the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34 . That is, the wavelength range of the light emitted by the light source 32 includes the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34 . In addition, the wavelength range of the light emitted from the light source 32 refers to the range of wavelength components whose intensity is equal to or higher than a predetermined second threshold among the wavelength components included in the light. The second threshold can be appropriately set based on experimental findings.

この場合、第１見当マーク６Ａの色が、受光素子３４の感度波長範囲内の波長の色であれば、第１背景部５０ａには当該感度波長範囲外の波長の色を採用する。言い換えると、第１見当マーク６Ａの色が、当該感度波長範囲の波長成分の反射率が高い色であれば、第１背景部５０ａには、当該感度波長範囲の波長成分の反射率が低い色を採用する。 In this case, if the color of the first register mark 6A is the color of the wavelength within the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34, the color of the wavelength outside the sensitivity wavelength range is adopted for the first background portion 50a. In other words, if the color of the first register mark 6A is a color with high reflectance for wavelength components in the sensitivity wavelength range, the first background portion 50a is a color with low reflectance for wavelength components in the sensitivity wavelength range. to adopt.

この場合、光源３２からの光が第１見当マーク６Ａに照射されると、当該光に含まれる当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は第１見当マーク６Ａにおいてあまり吸収されずに反射されるため、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光を受光した受光素子３４は比較的高い電流信号を出力する。 In this case, when the first register mark 6A is irradiated with the light from the light source 32, the wavelength components within the sensitivity wavelength range contained in the light are reflected without being absorbed by the first register mark 6A. The light receiving element 34 that receives the reflected light from the first register mark 6A outputs a relatively high current signal.

また、光源３２からの光が、第１見当マーク６Ａに照射されず、ウェブ２を透過して第１背景部５０ａに照射されると、当該光に含まれる当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は第１背景部５０ａにおいてあまり反射されずに吸収され、これにより第１背景部５０ａからの反射光には当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は含まれなくなる、あるいは反射光に含まれる当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は強度が低くなるため、第１背景部５０ａからの反射光を受光した受光素子３４は比較的低い電流信号しか出力しない。 Further, when the light from the light source 32 does not irradiate the first register mark 6A, but passes through the web 2 and irradiates the first background portion 50a, the wavelength component within the sensitivity wavelength range contained in the light is It is absorbed by the first background portion 50a without being reflected so much, and as a result, the reflected light from the first background portion 50a does not include the wavelength component within the sensitivity wavelength range, or the wavelength component within the sensitivity wavelength range is included in the reflected light. Since the intensity of the inner wavelength component is low, the light receiving element 34 that receives the reflected light from the first background portion 50a outputs only a relatively low current signal.

したがって、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光による電流信号が第１背景部５０ａからの反射光による電流信号よりもひときわ高くなり、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光による電流信号が際立つため、精度良く第１見当マーク６Ａを検出できる。 Therefore, the current signal due to the reflected light from the first register mark 6A becomes remarkably higher than the current signal due to the reflected light from the first background portion 50a, and the current signal due to the reflected light from the first register mark 6A stands out. The first register mark 6A can be detected well.

一方、第１見当マーク６Ａの色が、受光素子３４の感度波長範囲外の波長の色であれば、第１背景部５０ａには感度波長範囲内の波長の色を採用する。言い換えると、第１見当マーク６Ａの色が、当該感度波長範囲の波長成分の反射率が低い色であれば、第１背景部５０ａには当該感度波長範囲の波長成分の反射率が高い色を採用する。 On the other hand, if the color of the first register mark 6A is the color of the wavelength outside the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34, the color of the wavelength within the sensitivity wavelength range is adopted for the first background portion 50a. In other words, if the color of the first register mark 6A has a low reflectance for wavelength components in the sensitivity wavelength range, the first background portion 50a should have a color with a high reflectance for wavelength components in the sensitivity wavelength range. adopt.

この場合、光源３２からの光が第１見当マーク６Ａに照射されると、当該光に含まれる当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は第１見当マーク６Ａにおいてあまり反射されずに吸収され、これにより第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光には当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は含まれなくなる、あるいは反射光に含まれる当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は強度が低くなるため、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光を受光した受光素子３４は比較的低い電流信号しか出力しない。 In this case, when the light from the light source 32 is irradiated to the first register mark 6A, the wavelength components within the sensitivity wavelength range included in the light are absorbed by the first register mark 6A without being reflected so much. The reflected light from the first register mark 6A no longer contains the wavelength component within the sensitivity wavelength range, or the intensity of the wavelength component within the sensitivity wavelength range contained in the reflected light decreases. The light-receiving element 34 that receives the reflected light from the light-receiving element 34 outputs only a relatively low current signal.

また、光源３２からの光がウェブ２を透過して第１背景部５０ａに照射されると、当該光に含まれる当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は第１背景部５０ａにおいてあまり吸収されずに反射されるため、第１背景部５０ａからの反射光を受光した受光素子３４は比較的高い電流信号を出力する。 Further, when the light from the light source 32 passes through the web 2 and is irradiated onto the first background portion 50a, the wavelength components within the sensitivity wavelength range included in the light are not absorbed much in the first background portion 50a. Since the reflected light is reflected, the light receiving element 34 that receives the reflected light from the first background portion 50a outputs a relatively high current signal.

したがって、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光による電流信号が第１背景部５０ａからの反射光による電流信号よりもひときわ低くなり、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光による電流信号が際立つため、精度良く第１見当マーク６Ａを検出できる。 Therefore, the current signal due to the reflected light from the first register mark 6A becomes significantly lower than the current signal due to the reflected light from the first background portion 50a, and the current signal due to the reflected light from the first register mark 6A stands out. The first register mark 6A can be detected well.

なお、好ましくは、第１背景部５０ａには、受光素子３４の感度波長範囲内で、かつ、光源３２が照射する光のピーク波長と実質的に一致する波長の色を採用する。この場合、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光による電流信号と第１背景部５０ａからの反射光による電流信号との差がより大きくなるため、より精度良く第１見当マーク６Ａを検出できる。 Preferably, for the first background portion 50a, a color having a wavelength within the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34 and substantially matching the peak wavelength of the light emitted from the light source 32 is employed. In this case, since the difference between the current signal due to the reflected light from the first register mark 6A and the current signal due to the reflected light from the first background portion 50a becomes greater, the first register mark 6A can be detected with higher accuracy.

図４（ａ）、（ｂ）は、第１センサ３０の光源３２が照射する光の波長と、第１センサ３０の受光素子３４の感度波長範囲との関係の別の例を示す図である。 FIGS. 4A and 4B are diagrams showing another example of the relationship between the wavelength of light emitted by the light source 32 of the first sensor 30 and the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34 of the first sensor 30. FIG. .

図４（ａ）、（ｂ）の例では、光源３２は、受光素子３４の感度波長範囲の一部の波長を含む光を照射する。受光素子３４の感度波長範囲が比較的広い場合、例えば受光素子３４がＲＧＢフォトダイオードの場合、このような関係になりやすい。 In the examples of FIGS. 4A and 4B, the light source 32 irradiates light containing a part of wavelengths within the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34 . When the sensitive wavelength range of the light-receiving element 34 is relatively wide, for example, when the light-receiving element 34 is an RGB photodiode, such a relationship is likely to occur.

この場合、第１見当マーク６Ａの色が、受光素子３４の感度波長範囲内、かつ、光源３２が照射する光の波長域内の波長の色、すなわち波長範囲Ｒ１内の波長の色であれば、第１背景部５０ａには、受光素子３４の感度波長範囲外の波長および／または光源３２が照射する光の波長域外の波長の色、すなわち波長範囲Ｒ２内の波長の色を採用する。言い換えると、第１見当マーク６Ａの色が、当該感度波長範囲の波長成分の反射率が高く、かつ、光源３２が照射する光の波長域内の波長の色であれば、第１背景部５０ａには、当該感度波長範囲の波長成分の反射率が低い色および／または光源３２が照射する光の波長域外の波長の色を採用する。 In this case, if the color of the first register mark 6A is within the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34 and within the wavelength range of the light emitted from the light source 32, that is, within the wavelength range R1, For the first background portion 50a, a wavelength outside the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34 and/or a wavelength color outside the wavelength range of the light emitted from the light source 32, that is, a wavelength color within the wavelength range R2 is employed. In other words, if the color of the first register mark 6A has a high reflectance for wavelength components in the sensitivity wavelength range and is a color of a wavelength within the wavelength range of light emitted from the light source 32, then the first background portion 50a employs a color with a low reflectance for wavelength components in the sensitivity wavelength range and/or a color with a wavelength outside the wavelength range of the light emitted by the light source 32 .

この場合、光源３２からの光が第１見当マーク６Ａに照射されると、当該光に含まれる当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は第１見当マーク６Ａにおいてあまり吸収されずに反射されるため、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光を受光した受光素子３４は比較的高い電流信号を出力する。 In this case, when the first register mark 6A is irradiated with the light from the light source 32, the wavelength components within the sensitivity wavelength range contained in the light are reflected without being absorbed by the first register mark 6A. The light receiving element 34 that receives the reflected light from the first register mark 6A outputs a relatively high current signal.

また、光源３２からの光がウェブ２を透過して第１背景部５０ａに照射されると、当該光に含まれる当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は第１背景部５０ａにおいてあまり反射されずに吸収され、これにより第１背景部５０ａからの反射光には当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は含まれなくなる、あるいは反射光に含まれる当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は強度が低くなるため、第１背景部５０ａからの反射光を受光した受光素子３４は比較的低い電流信号しか出力しない。 Further, when the light from the light source 32 passes through the web 2 and is irradiated onto the first background portion 50a, the wavelength components within the sensitivity wavelength range included in the light are As a result, the reflected light from the first background portion 50a no longer includes wavelength components within the sensitivity wavelength range, or the intensity of the wavelength components within the sensitivity wavelength range included in the reflected light is reduced. The light receiving element 34 that receives the reflected light from the first background portion 50a outputs only a relatively low current signal.

したがって、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光による電流信号が第１背景部５０ａからの反射光による電流信号よりもひときわ高くなり、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光による電流信号が際立つため、精度良く第１見当マーク６Ａを検出できる。 Therefore, the current signal due to the reflected light from the first register mark 6A becomes remarkably higher than the current signal due to the reflected light from the first background portion 50a, and the current signal due to the reflected light from the first register mark 6A stands out. The first register mark 6A can be detected well.

一方、第１見当マーク６Ａの色が、受光素子３４の感度波長範囲外の波長および／または光源３２が照射する光の波長域外の波長の色、すなわち波長範囲Ｒ２内の波長の色であれば、第１背景部５０ａには、当該感度波長範囲内、かつ、光源３２が照射する光の波長域内の波長の色、すなわち波長範囲Ｒ１内の波長の色を採用する。言い換えると、第１見当マーク６Ａの色が、当該感度波長範囲の波長成分の光の反射率が低い色および／または光源３２が照射する光の波長域外の波長の色であれば、第１背景部５０ａには、当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分の反射率が高く、かつ、光源３２が照射する光の波長域内の波長の色を採用する。 On the other hand, if the color of the first register mark 6A is a wavelength outside the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34 and/or a wavelength outside the wavelength range of the light emitted by the light source 32, that is, a wavelength within the wavelength range R2 . For example, for the first background portion 50a, a color with a wavelength within the sensitivity wavelength range and within the wavelength range of light emitted from the light source 32, that is, a color with a wavelength within the wavelength range R1 is employed. In other words, if the color of the first register mark 6A is a color with a low reflectance for light of wavelength components in the sensitivity wavelength range and/or a color with a wavelength outside the wavelength range of light emitted by the light source 32, the first background For the portion 50a, a color having a high reflectance for wavelength components within the sensitivity wavelength range and a wavelength within the wavelength range of the light emitted from the light source 32 is adopted.

この場合、光源３２からの光が第１見当マーク６Ａに照射されると、当該光に含まれる当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は第１見当マーク６Ａにおいてあまり反射されずに吸収され、これにより第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光には当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は含まれなくなる、あるいは反射光に含まれる当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は強度が低くなるため、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光を受光した受光素子３４は比較的低い電流信号しか出力しない。 In this case, when the light from the light source 32 is irradiated to the first register mark 6A, the wavelength components within the sensitivity wavelength range included in the light are absorbed by the first register mark 6A without being reflected so much. The reflected light from the first register mark 6A no longer contains the wavelength component within the sensitivity wavelength range, or the intensity of the wavelength component within the sensitivity wavelength range contained in the reflected light decreases. The light-receiving element 34 that receives the reflected light from the light-receiving element 34 outputs only a relatively low current signal.

また、この場合、光源３２からの光がウェブ２を透過して第１背景部５０ａに照射されると、当該光に含まれる当該感度波長範囲内の波長成分は第１背景部５０ａにおいてあまり吸収されずに反射されるため、第１背景部５０ａからの反射光を受光した受光素子３４は比較的高い電流信号を出力する。 Further, in this case, when the light from the light source 32 is transmitted through the web 2 and radiated onto the first background portion 50a, the wavelength components within the sensitivity wavelength range included in the light are largely absorbed by the first background portion 50a. Therefore, the light receiving element 34 that receives the reflected light from the first background portion 50a outputs a relatively high current signal.

したがって、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光による電流信号が第１背景部５０ａからの反射光による電流信号よりもひときわ低くなり、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光による電流信号が際立つため、精度良く第１見当マーク６Ａを検出できる。 Therefore, the current signal due to the reflected light from the first register mark 6A becomes significantly lower than the current signal due to the reflected light from the first background portion 50a, and the current signal due to the reflected light from the first register mark 6A stands out. The first register mark 6A can be detected well.

なお、好ましくは、第１背景部５０ａには、受光素子３４の感度波長範囲内で、かつ、光源３２が照射する光のピーク波長と実質的に一致する波長の色を採用する。この場合、第１見当マーク６Ａからの反射光による電流信号と第１背景部５０ａからの反射光による電流信号との差がより大きくなるため、より精度良く第１見当マーク６Ａを検出できる。 Preferably, for the first background portion 50a, a color having a wavelength within the sensitivity wavelength range of the light receiving element 34 and substantially matching the peak wavelength of the light emitted from the light source 32 is employed. In this case, since the difference between the current signal due to the reflected light from the first register mark 6A and the current signal due to the reflected light from the first background portion 50a becomes greater, the first register mark 6A can be detected with higher accuracy.
