The present invention provides a sheet feeding apparatus for a corrugated fiberboard box making machine, which has front stops disposed at two locations spaced in the width direction (transverse direction) to true up the front edges of stacked corrugated fiberboard sheets and is constructed so as to feed a lowermost corrugated fiberboard sheet successively from the front end side of the front stop, characterized in that the front stops at the two locations are constructed so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction in such a manner as to be capable of supporting the corrugated fiberboard sheets while tilting the front edges thereof obliquely in the longitudinal direction.

A rotary die cutter in accordance with the present invention has frames,for rotatably supporting a die cut cylinder,and an anvil cylinder,via a bearing,and is configured so that oil is circulated in the die cut cylinder,and/or the anvil cylinder,Also, another rotary die cutter in accordance with the present invention has frames,for rotatably supporting a die cut cylinder,and an anvil cylinder,via a bearing,and is configured so that a cooled lubricating oil,is supplied to the bearing

Rotary die cutter

A method and system for determining the bonding quality of a bonded area of a flapped boxmaking blank in a boxmaking apparatus at an assembling station of a production line, where opposite end portions of the blank are bonded together with confronting edges of companion end flaps defining a required gap, in terms of the outline of the gap. The quality determination is accomplished by irradiating sheetlike light onto the bonded area across the gap, forming an image of the irradiated light as a light image line composed of discrete segments which are arranged along a reference line for the flap portions and include at least one line segment located off the reference line, computing a ratio of a length of the off-line segment to the entire length of the light image line to obtain a width of the gap, and comparing the width of the gap with a preset reference value.

To provide a printer ink exchange apparatus which can 1 greatly shorten a wash liquid recovery time, 2 dissolve a dilution by the residual wash liquid in the ink circulation and supply passage so that a lowering of the ink viscosity (density) can be prevented and 3 dissolve a mixing of the ink of the previous order in the ink circulation and supply passage so that the ink for a new order is prevented from becoming turbid, and as a result, can enhance the productivity and the printing quality. At the time of washing, the selector valve 26 is switched to the direction of the ink tank 4, wash liquid is supplied from the wash liquid pipe 16 to the ink circulation and supply mechanism, same as in the conventional ink exchange apparatus, the ink circulation and supply mechanism is washed and the waste liquid (wash liquid after used for washing) is recovered into the waste recovery unit 25, then the ink tank 4 in which ink for a new order is contained and the ink supply pipe 8 of the ink circulation and supply mechanism are connected together, the selector valve 26 is switched to the direction of the waste liquid recovery unit 25, ink 3 is supplied for a certain time, and together with said ink 3, the residual waste liquid (residual wash liquid) is forcibly discharged into the waste liquid recovery unit 25. In this state, when a certain time passes, or when the color of returning liquid comes to a certain deepness, the selector valve 26 is switched to the direction of the ink tank 4, the ink 3 for a new order is circulated in the ink circulation and supply mechanism and the ink 3 is supplied between the inking rolls 1, 2 of the printing unit.

Printer ink exchange apparatus

A flexographic printer in which ink supplied into a nip portion of inking rolls. The inking rolls include a rubber roll and an anilox roll. An inking roll cover is provided around the inking rolls. Clean air is directed into the inking roll cover through a filter, such as by a fan which blows air through an air vent into the inking roll cover so as to form a slightly higher static pressure within the inking roll cover than in the peripheral area. As a result, air is ejected to the outside of the inking roll cover from a gap between the inking roll cover and the printing cylinder. A dynamic pressure caused by the air prevents paper dust, paper scraps or other scattering dust, etc., from coming within the inking roll cover, thereby preventing such from sticking on the outer circumferential face of the rubber roll or the anilox roll, or from mixing with the ink supplied into the nip portion of the rubber roll and the anilox roll.

Flexographic printer

A rotary die cutter includes a rotatable anvil cylinder; and a knife cylinder made rotatable in a face-to-face relation to and in synchronism with the anvil cylinder and having knives fixed on the cutter circumference thereof for subjecting a sheet running at the central portions of the two cylinders to a predetermined cutting treatment by clamping the same together with the anvil cylinder. A thin film having a tape adhered thereto is attached removably to the outer circumference of the anvil cylinder in registration with the corresponding edges of the knife cylinder.
