Claims20
A camera assembly for use in scanning a paper substrate of a printing press, said assembly comprising:
- a housing;
- a camera mounted within said housing;
- a light source mounted within said housing;
- and
- two mirrors positioned within said housing to direct light in two distinct paths from said light source to the paper substrate.
A lighting assembly for lighting a paper substrate of a printing press, said assembly comprising:
- a light source;
- and
- at least one mirror positioned adjacent said light source to direct light from said light source to the paper substrate.
A lighting assembly for a camera positioned adjacent a paper substrate of a printing press, said assembly comprising:
- a strobe light source;
- and
- two mirrors positioned adjacent said light assembly to direct light in two distinct paths from said light source to the paper substrate.
A method of creating a dual light paths directed toward a paper substrate of a printing press, said method comprising:
- supplying a light source;
- supplying two mirrors;
- and
- positioning said mirrors adjacent said light source such that light from said light source strikes said mirrors and light is redirected in a dual light paths toward the paper substrate.
A method for creating dual light paths of uniform illumination directed toward a paper substrate of a printing press, said method comprising:
- supplying a single light source;
- and
- positioning at least two mirrors adjacent said light source such that light from said light source is split into dual light paths of uniform illumination and directed toward the substrate by said mirrors.
