Printing plate making machine with copying table - has retainers in blank magazine region stackable vertically and releasable by decoupler

摘要

The machine takes the blank on a copying table (2) for the plate forming, to which is associated a blank magazine with retainers for different blanks. The retainers (6) at the magazine (W) region are stackable to form a tower (8) and can be released by a decoupler (11) from one another. Each tower runs on its own track (10) totally, or partly, into a transfer zone (U). The tower part not to move is uncoupled and held back by it, while the moving part of the tower takes the blank(s) for processing in the topmost retainer. Pref. to the table is allocated a feeder (13) which is drivably connected to the moving part (8a) of the tower. USE/ADVANTAGE - For printing plate mfr., with simple, low-cost design and easy blank feed.
