Method and apparatus for mounting a printing plate |
摘要 |
A method and apparatus for mounting a printing plate onto a printing cylinder, wherein the printing plate includes a first registration mark and a second registration mark centrally located along opposing edges thereof. The apparatus includes an optical system to transmit images of the registration marks to a user interface, wherein a user selects a desired location point location of each of the registration marks displayed on the user interface to facilitate an alignment of the printing plate in respect of a central axis of the printing cylinder. |

1. A method for mounting a printing plate comprising the steps of:
providing a printing cylinder for receiving at least one flexible printing plate thereon, the at least one flexible printing plate having a first registration mark and a second registration mark; providing an optical system for viewing images of the registration marks, the optical system including a first camera and a second camera; providing a control system having a user interface in communication with the optical system; transmitting an image of the first registration mark from the first camera to the user interface; selecting a desired location point of the first registration mark displayed on the user interface; transmitting an image of the first registration mark from the second camera to the user interface; selecting a desired location point of the first registration mark displayed on the user interface; transmitting an image of the second registration mark from the first camera to the user interface; selecting a desired location point of the second registration mark displayed on the user interface; transmitting an image of the second registration mark from the second camera to the user interface; selecting the desired location point of the second registration mark displayed on the user interface; and aligning the at least one flexible printing plate in respect of a central axis of the printing cylinder based upon the desired location points of the registration marks. |
