Clamping process for fitting printing foil to form cylinder involves bringing second cylinder into rolling contact with foil as traction forces are applied

摘要

The clamping process involves pulling the foil onto the form cylinder (1) by clamping one end and applying traction forces to the other. A second cylinder (13) is brought into rolling contact with the foil (8), beginning from the fixed side (18), as the traction forces are applied. As the cylinder rolls, it moves relative to the form cylinder.
