摘要： A printing system includes carriage assemblies, a preparation station, a printing station, and a selection station. The carriage assemblies receive flexible bodies and are coupled to a conveyance assembly that moves the carriage assemblies along a direction of travel. The preparation station receives the flexible bodies from the loading station and manipulates the flexible bodies to at least partially flatten printing surfaces of the flexible bodies. The printing station prints images on the flexible bodies. The selection station examines the images on the flexible bodies and selects one or more of the flexible bodies based on the images. The selection station also individually grips and removes selected flexible bodies from the carriage assemblies and conveys the selected flexible bodies to a first collection location while the other flexible bodies remain on the carriage assemblies and are conveyed to a different, second collection location.

摘要翻译： 打印系统包括托架组件，准备工位，打印站和选择工位。 托架组件接收柔性主体并且联接到沿着行进方向移动托架组件的输送组件。 准备台从加载站接收柔性体，并操纵柔性体至少部分地平坦化柔性体的印刷表面。 印刷站在柔性体上印刷图像。 选择站检查柔性体上的图像，并基于图像选择一个或多个柔性体。 选择站还单独地从托架组件夹持并移除所选择的柔性体，并将所选择的柔性体输送到第一收集位置，而其它柔性体保持在托架组件上并被输送到不同的第二收集位置。
