摘要:
In order to improve a device for clamping and unclamping film material (3) on and from a stationary holder (12) in which the film material is taken by a transport device (4 to 8) through the holder (12) especially from an inlet to an outlet slot, and held in the holder (12) during exposure, in such a way that the film material can be reliably positioned in the holder (12), it is proposed that a positioning unit (19) be fitted which confers upon the film material (3) a tendency to move against the direction of transport when it is clamped.
摘要:
A photocomposing machine especially adapted for display work. The machine employs a film holder that is horizontally disposed and movable along two coordinate axis. A layout sheet viewable by the machine operator can be placed on the upper side of the film holder so that latter can be positioned in accordance with the requirements of the copy to be produced as indicated on the layout sheet.

Imaging apparatus is provided which includes a generally cylindrical support defining a substrate support surface, a head operative to record information onto a substrate on the substrate support surfaces, and apparatus for precise rotational positioning and displacement of the cylindrical drum with respect to the imaging head. The apparatus includes at least one linear motor arranged to drive the cylindrical support in rotational motion, and control apparatus for providing electrical inputs to the linear motor to achieve precise rotational positioning of the substrate support surface.
摘要:
A method for recording a rectangular image along helical tracks on a plate, while the plate is mounted on a cylindrical surface in an imagesetter, so that an edge of the image, corresponding to a reference edge of the plate, essentially parallels the reference edge. The method includes punching one or more notches across the reference edge of the plate, providing two stop pins, fixedly attached to the cylindrical surface, and positioning the plate on the cylindrical surface so that one of the stop pins engages one of the notches.

Imaging apparatus is provided which includes a generally cylindrical drum defining a substrate support surface, a head operative to record information onto a substrate on the substrate support surface, and substrate feed and position apparatus for precise rotational positioning and displacement of the substrate with respect to an internal surface of cylindrical drum. The apparatus includes a plurality of linear motors arranged along the internal surface of the cylindrical drum for feeding the substrate, and control apparatus for controlling the linear motors to achieve precise positioning of the substrate support surface.
摘要:
In a photocomposition machine environment the apparatus and method show the concept of advancing the photosensitive material into position normally occupied for composition of text. The known apparatus and method are then modified by providing reverse leading for the paper and re-advance to the starting point followed by composition of a second column lateral to and aligned with the first column. A particular advance in the art is the ability to compose a complex mathematical formula with greatly simplified software using the improved hardware.The point of reference is established by a sensor which is activated upon advance of the paper to the sensor and therefore reversal and re-advancement of the paper will cause an exact repositioning of the paper for each column.
摘要:
The apparatus is designed to compose justified copy on a sensitized sheet or film exposed through a movable matrix to actinic rays which impress an image of the characters carried by the matrix onto the sensitized sheet material. Operation of the composer is in response to signals from a suitable source, typically a memory unit alone or a memory unit which is operated in conjunction with a keyboard to store one or more lines of type composition prior to justification of the lines. Provision is made for flexibility in operation and product output as well as accommodation to various allied equipment.
摘要:
A photographic composition system having a pulsed light source that projects a beam of light through a font of characters to produce an image which is cast onto a sheet of film that is advanced by motor means. The controls for activating the motor provide for correct spacing between successive characters and are connected to a memory system which receives data input.
