An automatic sheet register control system for a printing press comprising: photocells (81-85) sensing the position of a sheet (5) relative to printing cylinder (48U); and a computer (86-89) to generate signals to actuators (75a, 75b) to adjust the length of bands (16a, 16b) which carry the sheets (5) to establish and control register of the sheet (5) relative to the printing cylinder (48U).

Planetary conveyor system

An apparatus for applying silicone polymer coating to a web substrate comprising: a roll having a resilient surface; means to rotate the roll; a metering member comprising a hard, generally flat, elongated metallic strip having first and second polished edges with a relieved area therebetween to prevent engagement of the metering member with a metered film of liquid on the resilient roll surface except by the portion of the metering member lying between the first and second polished edges; means to urge the metering member into pressure indented relation with the resilient surface; and heat exchanger means adjacent the metering member to code the metering member adjacent the metering edge.

Coating method

An inker for a lithographic printing press in which ink and dampening fluid are applied to the printing plate by a resilient applicator roller. A resilient ink metering member having a flat metering surface is mounted on a support member which is movable to adjust the angle of intersection of the metering surface relative to a plane tangent to the roller surface. A doctor blade is mounted to remove dampening fluid from the roller surface and is actuated to an operative position upon actuation of the dampener to apply dampening fluid to the applicator roller.

Inking systems

Coating apparatus

An object of the invention is to provide a method of metering to a printing plate (P). An applicator roller (312), which receives ink from a pick-up roller (310), is positioned in pressure indented relation with a metering roller (12). The surface speed of metering roller (12) is varied to meter the ink to roller apparatus which supplies the ink to printing plate (P).
