| 20090020031 | Apparatus and Method for Treating a Rotating Printing Technology Surface with a Process Liquid, Machine for processing Printing Material and machine for Treating Printing Forms - An apparatus and method for treating a rotating printing technology surface, especially a re-imageable printing form, with a process liquid, such as cleaning, covering or rinsing liquid, include jet nozzles disposed along a straight line substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the printing technology surface, and a cloth device substantially parallel to the axis of rotation. The nozzles pivot about a pivot axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation for producing a substantially uniform distribution of process liquid parallel to the axis of rotation. The cloth device preferably has a cloth with segmented or calendered portions substantially parallel to the axis of rotation, for substantially limiting spread of process liquid in the cloth parallel to the feed direction of the cloth and assisting substantially uniform distribution of process liquid parallel to the axis of rotation. Machines for processing printing material and for treating printing forms are also provided. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20100011980 | METHOD AND MACHINE FOR TREATING A REUSABLE PRINTING TECHNOLOGY SURFACE WITH AT LEAST ONE LIQUID AND MACHINE FOR PROCESSING PRINTING MATERIAL - A method for treating a reusable printing technology surface, preferably a printing form that can be re-imaged, with at least one liquid, for example cleaning fluid, rinsing liquid, solution of amphiphilic molecules or gumming agent, includes rotating the printing technology surface about a cylinder axis, applying the liquid to the printing technology surface in the form of a jet and at a varying angle and contacting the printing technology surface with a movable cloth. The printing technology surface is rotated at a varying rotational speed. The rotational speed is preferably varied in stages, in particular increased, in order to achieve the best possible treatment results, for example cleaning and (re-) covering with amphiphilic molecules. The method can preferably be implemented in a printing press or a plate exposer. A machine for treating a reusable printing technology surface and a machine for processing printing material, are also provided. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100147167 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CORRECTING THE LATERAL POSITION OF A PRINTING MATERIAL, PRINTING MATERIAL CONVEYING SYSTEM AND MACHINE PROCESSING PRINTING MATERIAL - A method for correcting the lateral position of a printing material, includes gripping the printing material with a transport unit, rotating the transport unit in a lateral position correction angular range for correcting the lateral position of the printing material, and rotating the transport unit out of the lateral position correction angular range while retaining the correction of the lateral position of the printing material. An apparatus for correcting the lateral position of a printing material, a printing material conveying system and a machine for processing printing material, are also provided. | 06-17-2010 |
