SHEET CHARACTERISTIC DETECTION DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18591658 titled 'SHEET CHARACTERISTIC DETECTION DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM
The patent application describes a sheet characteristic detection device that includes a first conveyance path for conveying sheets, a second conveyance path branching from the first path for purging sheets without passing through an image former, and a first detector on the first path for detecting sheet characteristic information such as size, thickness, basis weight, or moisture amount.
- The device has a first conveyance path for regular sheet conveyance and a second path for purging sheets.
- The first detector on the first conveyance path detects various sheet characteristics.
- Sheets on the second conveyance path do not pass through an image former.
- The device can detect size, thickness, basis weight, and moisture amount of sheets.
Potential Applications: - Printing industry for quality control of paper used in printing processes. - Packaging industry for ensuring the correct specifications of packaging materials. - Manufacturing industry for monitoring the quality of materials used in production.
Problems Solved: - Efficient detection of sheet characteristics without passing through an image former. - Accurate monitoring of size, thickness, basis weight, and moisture amount of sheets.
Benefits: - Improved quality control in various industries. - Enhanced efficiency in detecting sheet characteristics. - Cost-effective solution for monitoring sheet properties.
Commercial Applications: Title: Sheet Characteristic Detection Device for Quality Control in Printing and Packaging Industries This technology can be used in printing and packaging industries for quality control purposes, ensuring that the materials used meet the required specifications. It can also be implemented in manufacturing processes to monitor the quality of materials used in production.
Questions about Sheet Characteristic Detection Device: 1. How does the device differentiate between different sheet characteristics? The device uses the first detector on the first conveyance path to detect various sheet characteristics such as size, thickness, basis weight, and moisture amount.
