Abstract
Example implementations relate to selectively deflecting substrates. One example implementation includes an apparatus to selectively lift a part of a substrate away from a transfer member when the substrate is advancing in a substrate coating system relative to the transfer member, such that, across a width of the substrate, a first part of the substrate is coated by the transfer member and a second part of the substrate, that is lifted by the apparatus, remains uncoated.
Claims4
A substrate coating system comprising:
- a tension roller configured to apply tension to a substrate and rotate about an axis, wherein the rotation of the tension roller about the axis transports the substrate along a path including a transfer zone;
- a transfer roller configured to transfer primer to the substrate, as the substrate is transported through the transfer zone and when a surface of the substrate is in proximity to the transfer roller;
- a guide member including a plurality of wipers configured to lift portions of the substrate away from the transfer roller, such that uncoated lanes are created as the substrate passes through the transfer zone;
- and
- an adjuster coupled to the guide member, the adjuster providing a range of positions for the guide member along the width of the transfer roller.
