    摘要: A fully addressable vacuum/positive pressure roller may select and remove pattern pieces that have been severed or cut from a web or sheet of flexible material even though the pattern pieces are still embedded within the web, both being supported on a common surface. Vacuum rollers may be disposed along the path of an advancing web with the rollers being oriented such that each roller's axis of rotation is both orthogonal to the advance direction of the web and orthogonal to the surface normal of the web so that the web travels around at least a portion of the arc of each roller. The vacuum roller for conveying the web or sheet type material includes an external surface having a plurality of apertures there through. A plurality of addressable valves are in corresponding fluid communication with the plurality of apertures. By controlling the state of each of the plurality of valves, the user may selectively address each valve independently in order to achieve a desired state of each of the valves at all times and/or positions during operation.

    摘要: An apparatus (100) and method (300) for media hold down transport air flow in an image production device is disclosed. The apparatus can include a media transport belt (110) configured to transport media sheets (105) in a process direction (116). The media transport belt can include a plurality of belt apertures (115) arranged along a cross-process direction (118), where the cross-process direction is perpendicular to the process direction. The plurality of belt apertures can be configured to conduct air to secure the media sheets on the media transport belt. The apparatus can include a vacuum plenum assembly (120). The vacuum plenum assembly can include a plurality of plenum apertures (125) arranged along the cross-process direction. The plurality of plenum apertures can be configured to conduct air through at least some of the plurality of belt apertures. The plurality of plenum apertures can include at least a first plenum aperture (121) of a first width (123) in the cross-process direction and at least a second plenum aperture (122) of a second width (124) in the cross-process direction, where the first width can be different from the second width. The apparatus can include a media transport shift assembly (130) configured to shift a relative position between the media transport belt and the vacuum plenum assembly in the cross-process direction to align at least some of the plurality of belt apertures with at least some of the plurality of plenum apertures.
