Method and device for changing the condition of a web of foil

Номер: US20120152444A1
Автор: Alexander Weber
Принадлежит: HEIDELBERGER DRUCKMASCHINEN AG

A device and a method for coating a printing material include a foil engaged with a printing material on an impression cylinder using guide rollers. The foil and the printing material are guided together in an engagement area and a functional layer, such as glue or varnish, is dried, i.e. activated or polymerized, through the foil in the engagement area using a drier. The guide rollers are disengaged from the impression cylinder to avoid contact between the foil and grippers of the impression cylinder. To improve a detachment behavior of the foil from the functional layer, an angle of detachment between the foil and the sheet is varied by pivoting the guide rollers about an external geometrical pivot axis or an internal geometrical pivot axis, or at least assisting the disengagement of the foil from the impression cylinder by a change of a pneumatic condition of a foil-guiding element.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLD-STAMPING ONTO THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECTS

Номер: US20210008867A1
Автор: RAUNER Franz, ROEDER Wolfgang, SCHMITT Volker
Принадлежит:

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for cold-stamping onto a three-dimensional object. In a first step, an adhesive is applied to the object at a first workstation. In a second step, a transfer film is pressed onto the object by a pressing device at a second workstation. At the same time, the adhesive is cured at the second workstation. As a result, the decorative material of the transfer film adheres to the object at the positions on the object which are provided with adhesive. If, following this, the transfer film is removed from the three-dimensional object after being pressed on, the decorative material remains on the object at the desired positions. At the positions at which in the first step no adhesive has been applied to the object, the decorative material does not adhere to the object but rather remains on the carrier film of the transfer film. 1. A method for cold-stamping a three-dimensional object , wherein the object is held either rotatably around an axis of rotation or is firmly fixed by a holding device , the method comprising:applying an adhesive to the object at a first work station, andpressing a transfer film comprising a decorative layer and a carrier film onto the object by a pressing device at a second work station, wherein the adhesive is simultaneously cured.2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing of the transfer film onto the object comprises:rotating the object around the axis of rotation;guiding the transfer film tangentially with respect to an outer periphery of the object; andpressing the transfer film onto the object along a contact line between the object and transfer film by the pressing device.3. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing device is moved such that a surface speed of the pressing device corresponds to a surface speed of the object claim 1 , and wherein the transfer film is moved such that the surface speed of the transfer film corresponds to the surface speed of the object.4. ...

Sublimation (transfer of color via existing heat activated process) of computer generated process color/full color images into polyester coating that has been applied to the flat surface of malleable metal. A dimensional metal stamping die is then created with relief and/or texture to correspond in location to or otherwise enhance the color image that has been previously sublimated on the flat metal. Metal is then locked into position and stamped with the impression that has been cut into the hardened die. The result is a new, efficient method to achieve life-like color on 3-dimensional sculpted metal. Virtual patinas and tinting can also be achieved without additional chemicals or plating. Digitally generated variable printed data, variable sublimated color images and variable color schemes can be sublimated before minting or added as a third step with good definition on raised flat areas post stamping. 1. A method of enhancing 3d stamped metal surface with color , tint or shading by using the following steps in the following order: sublimation of color into full-face polyester coating on flat faced metal prior to minting/debossing/embossing/stamping versus using other colorizing methods or in spot locations prior to stamping or versus colorizing after forming the metal.2.

Method for using a foil on a printing press and optimizing the maximum usage of the foil

Номер: US20150053338A1
Автор: Michael King
Принадлежит: Graphic Art System Inc

A method for material deposition employs a printing press, such as those used in cold foil transfers, that permits a greater usage of the foil web than traditional methods. This is achieved by increasing the number of times the foil web is passed through the press, while simultaneously taking into account the area that has not been used and adjusting the impacted area of the foil web accordingly. The foil web is adjusted by using a series of adjustable rollers and angular bars to change the length of the circumferential path the foil takes through the press. By modifying the angle of these rollers and the distance between them, the path can be lengthened or shortened to correspond to the particular needs for a particular print job. This allows the press to use the foil in such a way that reduces foil waste and manufacturer and consumer costs.

A machine arrangement sequentially processes sheet-like substrates with multiple different processing stations each having a substrate-guiding unit and a substrate-processing unit. At least one of the processing stations has, as a substrate-processing unit, at least one non-impact printing device which prints on the substrate. The processing station with the at least one non-impact printing device has a printing cylinder. Each non-impact printing device is arranged at the circumference of the printing cylinder. The printing cylinder is triple-sized or quadruple-sized. A double-sized or a triple-sized transfer drum, or a corresponding feed cylinder, is arranged directly upstream of this printing cylinder. Alternatively, a double-sized or a triple-sized transfer drum, or a corresponding transfer cylinder, is arranged directly downstream of this printing cylinder. 1010203040607080911120102030406070809111206370637223806372238223822382238223822385152535409060923230637. A machine arrangement for the sequential processing of sheet-type substrates having multiple different processing stations (; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ) , wherein two of the processing stations (; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ) each have at least one non-impact printing unit (; ) for printing each of the substrates , wherein the relevant processing station that has the at least one non-impact printing unit (; ) has a printing cylinder (; ) , wherein the respective non-impact printing unit (; ) is arranged on the periphery of the printing cylinder (; ) in each case , wherein each respective printing cylinder (; ) is configured as triple-sized or quadruple-sized , wherein each respective printing cylinder (; ) is configured as a suction cylinder , wherein the supply of suction air to the relevant printing cylinder (; ) is or at least can be switched on and off in each case dependent upon the angular position of said printing cylinder (; ) , wherein each respective printing cylinder (; ) has multiple fields (; ; ; ) arranged one ...
