MEDIA WEB TENSIONING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18557640 titled 'MEDIA WEB TENSIONING

The abstract describes a system with a printer that prints ink onto a web of media. The system includes a winding roller to roll the printed media, a tensioner to adjust tension in the rolled portion of the media, and a controller to vary tension based on ink drying time.

  • The system includes a printer for printing ink onto a web of media.
  • A winding roller is used to roll the printed media after printing.
  • A tensioner is provided to adjust tension in the rolled portion of the media.
  • A controller is used to vary tension based on the time taken for the ink to dry on the media.

Potential Applications: - Printing industry for high-speed printing processes. - Packaging industry for printing on various packaging materials. - Textile industry for printing on fabrics.

Problems Solved: - Ensures proper tension control for high-quality printing. - Prevents issues such as wrinkling or tearing of the media. - Improves overall printing efficiency and accuracy.

Benefits: - Consistent and high-quality printing results. - Reduced waste of media due to improved tension control. - Increased productivity and efficiency in printing processes.

Commercial Applications: Title: Tension Control System for Printing Processes This technology can be used in commercial printing presses, packaging companies, and textile printing facilities to enhance printing quality and efficiency.

Questions about Tension Control System for Printing Processes: 1. How does the tensioner adjust tension in the rolled portion of the media? The tensioner uses sensors to monitor tension levels and adjusts accordingly to maintain optimal tension. 2. What are the key benefits of using a winding roller in the printing process? The winding roller ensures smooth and consistent rolling of the printed media, preventing issues like creases or uneven winding.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system () is provided having a printer () to print ink onto a web () of media (). The system () has a winding roller () on which to roll the web () of media () after printing. A tensioner () to vary the tension in a portion () of the web () of media () is also provided. The portion () is a portion of web which is being rolled onto the winding roller (). Also provided is controller () to control the tensioner () to vary the tension based on the time taken for the printed ink on the web () of media () to dry.
