An improved knife folder includes a blade adapted to collapse a sheet a predetermined amount in order to allow nip rollers to buckle the sheet into a pair of folding cylinders. In this manner, potential for blade damage to the sheet and a critical set up are eliminated while at the same time insuring positive paper acquisition.

A low cost, on-line saddle stapler accessory for preparing long edge fed booklets, receives side registered copies from a copier, and introduces a crease centrally of the copies. The copies are aided into a roof-shaped compiler tray and registered at their lead edges. When a set has been compiled, a first saddle staple is made and the set is passed on to a second position, registered and stapled a second time. Afterwards, the now saddle stapled booklet is forwarded to a stacking tray.

A system and method of printing an image on corrugated material may include receiving a digital representation of an image. A print target may be printed on a first corrugated material with respect to a print location. It may be determined whether an error distance between the print target and a die cut target is less than a threshold. The print location may be automatically adjusted based on the error distance. The image may be printed on a second corrugated material based on the adjusted print location.

A print system including a vacuum blower configured to create both a vacuum pressure and exhaust, a vacuum chamber configured to distribute the vacuum pressure created by the vacuum blower, a transport belt configured to pass in close proximity to the vacuum chamber, the transport belt having a plurality of holes, and a pneumatic cleaning device configured to direct the exhaust created by the vacuum blower through one or more holes of the transport belt in close proximity to the pneumatic cleaning device. The pneumatic cleaning device includes an upper cleaning head comprising a one or more vents configured to direct air through holes in a transport belt; and a lower cleaning body. The lower cleaning body includes a muffler, a removable collection area configured to collect debris in the exhaust, and a filter configured to collect in the exhaust.

A vacuum transport system includes vacuum plenum having a plenum plate as a part thereof and a belt with an array of holes that align to grooves in the plenum plate over which the belt is driven. A sliding plate on the underside of the plenum plate inside the vacuum plenum contains a series of holes and slots to progressively open or shut holes connecting the grooves to the vacuum plenum to maintain a constant air flow and vacuum pressure in the cross process direction for varying widths of media.

A stalled roll registration system and method includes a mechanism that allows for pivoting deskew action in a pre-registration nip in the form of a segmented pre-registration drive roll assembly mounted on a releasable low friction lateral translation carriage. Outer pre-registration idler nips are provided that open to allow a sheet to pivot and close for transport the sheet. The pre-registration idlers are engaged and the drive roll assembly remains locked in the lateral position for initial paper transport up to the stalled registration roll. After the sheet arrives at the stalled registration roll and starts to form a buckle for deskew, the outer pre-registration idlers and carriage are released. The body of the sheet is then free to pivot about the center drive nip and translate in the lateral direction to self align itself with the registration roll.

This invention provides a paper folding assembly where the thickness of the paper set stack is directly measured and will automatically determine the size of a gap located between two folder cylinders. A knife will push the set between the adjusted gap once it has been adjusted for the thickness of the set. The knife and driven nip rollers are positioned above this gap and are conveniently pushed into the gap to provide the set fold, for example, to make a booklet.
摘要:
A flexible strip of low coefficient of friction material is attached to a paddle wheel hub and placed over a predetermined length of the drive side of the paddle wheel blades in order to reduce the drive force of the paddle wheel blades on the top sheet in a stack to thereby allow the accurate compiling of a greater range of curled sheets.

A finishing-compiling station or structure is disclosed where marked copies of paper or other media are transported into a compiling tray for paper registration by paddle wheels or other such deflection loaded compiler drive elements. These sheets of paper after registration are then processed and finished as desired. The pressure applied by the paddle wheels is substantially constant where as prior art pressures varied depending upon the height of the paper stack. A sensor and appropriate software controller gauges the speed of the paddle wheel drive shaft and controls the height of the drive shaft from the stack and thereby equalizes the resulting pressure to a continuous fixed pressure throughout this stacking operation.
