142 Cylinder impurity remover apparatus US09729026 2000-12-04 US20020066382A1 2002-06-06 Phillip E. Jones
A removable, compact and easily accessible cylinder impurity remover apparatus has a wiping position for removing impurities from a rotatable printing plate cylinder on a printing press and a non-wiping position. The impurity remover removeably slides or swings into position for wiping a plate on the plate cylinder. Most preferably, a pressure source acts on two pistons to move two parallel reciprocably mounted shafts and a wiper blade mounted thereon to the wiping position. Both the pistons and shafts are preferably contained inside an actuator bar, which is mounted parallel to a printing plate cylinder. As the wiper blade moves forward to the wiping position, a bias member is compressed and remains compressed until the pressure source stops, allowing the bias member to automatically retract the reciprocably mounted shafts and wiper blade to a non-wiping position. According to one embodiment of the invention, the actuator bar is mounted on the top side of a primary support bar having a shaped track to permit a sliding movement into and out of the printing press. According to a second embodiment of the invention, the actuator bar is pivotally connected to a first main side support and the opposing end of the actuator bar is receivable in a docking portion of a second main side support for pivoting movement relative to the printing press. Both embodiments are compact and allow for the operator to easily access the wiper blade for maintenance and cleaning.

Air from the compressed air supply is moved through the lower chamber forming two air-streams, which are drawn into the upper chamber with the residual material of the imaging process.
144 Method and device for eliminating peeled-off surface portions of an ink-repellent layer of an offset printing plate US84559 1998-05-26 US6061867A 2000-05-16 Andreas Schorpp; Bernhard Mechler; Andreas Detmers
A method and a device for eliminating peeled-off surface portions of an ink-repellent layer of an offset printing plate. With known plate-cylinder washing devices such peeled-off surface portions of an ink-repellent layer cannot be eliminated from the offset printing plate completely. The method and device according to the present invention enables the complete elimination of said peeled-off surface portions. Using the surface of non-woven fabric mounted on a shaft in spiral-like manner, the ink-repellent layer is brushed off without any fluid added. The method and device are used in connection with the direct imaging of offset printing plates in the dry-offset process.

When printing is switched off, the method and apparatus may be operated in a print-off mode in which cleaning fluid is sprayed onto the rotating applicator roller and onto the rotating form cylinder, with the applicator roller is separated from the form cylinder.
149 Apparatus and system for removing dust from printing plate of printing press US406888 1995-03-01 US5680818A 1997-10-28 Yasuhiko Tomiki; Toshiyuki Ogiwara; Tadami Yoshimura; Kenichi Mizuno; Kunio Idogawa; Yoshihiro Nomura; Tadashi Suzuki
A printing-plate dust removing apparatus includes a guide rail 12 provided in parallel with a plate cylinder 1; a slider 13 moving along the guide rail 12; a holder 18 supported by the slider 13; a moving member 19 supported by the holder 18, the moving member 19 having a plurality of dust removing blades 28; and a driving gear for shifting the moving member 19 intermittently. A driving shaft 38 of the driving gear is connected with a driven shaft 27 through coupling members 41 and 42. Interlocking claws 41A and 42A of the coupling members are set so that the coupling members are engaged with each other at a standby position of the dust removing blades. Also, the holder 119 and the slider 113 are connected with each other by wedge members 138 and 144 so that the wedge members are firmly engaged with each other by a clamping bolt 147 and a holder plate 140. A printing-plate dust removing system 205 includes the above printing-plate dust removing apparatus and a controller 231, in which the controller compares a presumed position which is now in recognition and an actual position based on a signal c input from a detecting sensor 242 for detecting the position of the slider 206 so that both the positions are coincided with each other. The controller 309 shifts the moving member 208 (dust removing belt 210) only when a signal informing that the dust removing blade 211 is located at the standby position is inputted from a blade position detecting device 308, and then it shifts the slider 206.

156 Press dampening system US580632 1990-09-11 US5158017A 1992-10-27 Edward P. MacConnell; Robert King; Donald L. Frank
A dampening system has a pan for containing dampening fluid, and transfer and metering rollers for bringing dampening fluid up out of the pan. A transition roller contacts one of the transfer and metering rollers. The transition roller is movable between first and second position. In the first position, the transition is off of the plate cylinder and dampening fluid is applied to the plate cylinder by ink form rollers. In the second position, the transition roller is on the plate cylinder. Another version of the dampening system has a bridge roller between the transition roller and a ink form roller, which bridge roller is movable between the third and fourth positions. In the third position, the bridge roller is on the transition roller. In the fourth position, the bridge roller is off of the transition roller. The dampening system can dampen the plate cylinder without the use of alcohol. The transition roller is rotated by a separate motor so that its speed is controlled independently of the other rollers. When the transition roller is on the plate cylinder, it can be slowed down to clean hickeys off of the plate cylinder. When the plate cylinder is clean, it can be moved off of the plate cylinder or speeded up to the same speed as the plate cylinder. A controller is provided to automatically adjust the amount of dampening fluid being applied to the plate cylinder by regulating the speed of the transfer and metering rollers.
157 System for removing foreign matter from a plate cylinder of a printing press US744276 1991-08-13 US5138945A 1992-08-18 Sung C. Lee; James N. Crum
To rapidly and reliably remove foreign objects from rotating plate cylinders (10, 10'; 10a, 10a') of a printing machine, a carriage (12) is mounted on a keyboard (21) having keys associated with predetermined axial positions or zones on the plate cylinder, controls via a control unit (CU) rotation of the stepping motor to the respective axial zone which is selected by operation of one of the keys (20) of the keyboard. A solenoid then projects the wiper blade to remove a foreign object or hickey from the plate. In a multi-cylinder machine, the removal apparatus including the spindle, carriage, wiper blade and solenoid, is placed in association with each one of the cylinders, one keyboard and one control unit operating all the wiper blades in unison, thereby eliminating the need to determine on which one of the plate cylinders of, for example, a multi-color press, a foreign object has lodged. After removal of a foreign object, or a number of foreign objects, as counted by keyboard operation, the carriage is returned to a rest or cleaning position where a motor-operated brush, upon sensing the presence of the carriage, removes the objects from the blade.
