Print substrate's electrostatic charge deriving arrangement, has discharge device with electrodes that lie on earth potential, and free ends of electrodes facing print substrate, where electrodes lie against substrate in tangential manner

摘要

The arrangement has a linkage (15) and a gripper system (16) for providing the relative movement of a print substrate (3) to a discharge device (26). The discharge device has electrodes (29) that lie on earth potential (30), and free ends of the electrodes face the print substrate. The electrodes lie against the print substrate in a tangential manner. The electrodes are designed as circular panels and are supported about an axis in a rotatable manner, where the axis lies transverse to the conveying direction (25) of the print substrate.
