Embodiment Construction

[0040] figure 1 Shown is the decorator apparatus of the present invention, indicated generally at 10 . The decorator apparatus 10 includes a plurality of ink rollers 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, 12e, 12f and a plurality of blankets 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e, 14f, 14g, 14h. A blanket is set on a blanket wheel 16 . The blanket wheel 16 rotates to bring the blanket into contact with the ink roller, thereby transferring ink to the blanket. Rotation of blanket wheel 16 also brings each blanket into contact with can 18 to transfer ink to the surface of the can. The tank 18 is conveyed into and out of contact with the blanket by a conveyor system 20 . exist figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, there are six ink rollers 12 which enable the use of up to six different colored inks to form a complete indicium printed onto the can 18 . also in figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the decorator apparatus 10 includes eight blankets 14 . It should be understood that the invention is not limi...

Abstract

According to the present invention there is provided apparatus for printing on cylindrical structures comprising: a plurality of inker assemblies, each inker assembly comprising a printing cylinder and one or more a servo motor; a blanket assembly comprising a plurality of printing blankets, wherein the blanket assembly is configured to bring each printing blanket into contact with a printing cylinder to transfer ink from the printing cylinder to the printing blanket, and to cause each a printing blanket in contact with the cylindrical structure to enable printing thereon; a conveyor for transporting the cylindrical structure into and out of contact with the printing blanket; and an automatic print correction system including a print inspection device for A shift in ink transferred from the one or more print cylinders to the printing blanket is detected, and a controller for controlling servo motors of the print cylinders in response to data received from the print inspection device to correct for the shift.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to apparatus for printing on cylindrical structures and related methods of printing on cylindrical structures. Background technique [0002] In the field of industrial can manufacturing, it is typical that the finished product requires some form of decoration in the form of printed markings. Specialized printing machines are known to provide continuous high volume printing on cans at high throughput. These printing machines are generally referred to in the art as "decorating machines". At present, there are two main types of decorators in general commercial use, although there are a small number of other manufacturers as well. The two main designs are generally referred to as "Concord" and "Rutherford" machines. Although the fine structural details of the Concord and Rutherford machines differed, in essence they printed the cans in the same way. This method is a variation of lithography. More particularly, the decorat...
