GAUGE ASSEMBLY FOR A MASTER PROCESSING APPARATUS

摘要

A master processing apparatus for use with a pair of removable feed rolls comprises a frame, a master processing assembly, and a gauge assembly (140). The removable feed rolls carry a supply of stock material to be unwound, at least one of the stock materials having a layer of adhesive provided thereon. The frame removably mounts the feed rolls. The master processing assembly performs a master processing operation wherein the master processing assembly causes adhesive bonding between a master and the stock materials. The gauge assembly (140) has (a) a supply roll monitor (142) operable to continuously monitor an amount of stock material remaining on the feed rolls and (b) a user readable supply level indicator (144) operatively connected to the supply roll monitor. The supply level indicator (144) is operable to continuously indicate to the user the amount of stock material remaining on the feed rolls as the stock materials are being unwound.
