METHOD FOR MAKING PAPER MACHINE WIRE WITH WATERMARK PATTERN, THE RESULTING MACHINE WIRE AND APPARATUS FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for easily making a paper machine wire with a watermark pattern without the need of any special technique and experience, enabling the paper machine wire thus made to be used repeatedly by peeling off the pattern. SOLUTION: The method for making the paper machine wire comprises the steps of selecting any desired watermark pattern from watermark patterns stored using a computer 1, drawing the pattern 5a thus selected on a transfer material 5 with the help of a three-dimensionally driven robot, placing the resultant transfer material 5 on a sheet 6 marked with positioning mark(s) and setting the transfer material 5 on a paper machine frame 7, and directly subjecting the watermark pattern 5a to the frame 7 to effect image setting of the watermark pattern alone. After using the paper machine wire, it can be reused by peeling the watermark pattern 5a off the frame with the help of a releasant. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
