Abstract
An apparatus for controlling the amount of fluid to be transferred, contains a first rotating device which has a first fluid-transferring section in its circumferential direction, a second rotating device which has a second fluid-transferring section in its circumferential direction, and a control device for setting the phase position between the first fluid-transferring section and the second fluid-transferring section. The control device is configured for accelerating and retarding a rotation of the first rotating device periodically.
Claims20
An apparatus for controlling an amount of fluid to be transferred, the apparatus comprising:
- a first rotating device having a first fluid-transferring section in a circumferential direction;
- a second rotating device having a second fluid-transferring section in a circumferential direction;
- and
- a control device for setting a phase position between said first fluid-transferring section and said second fluid-transferring section, said control device configured for accelerating and retarding a rotation of said first rotating device periodically.
An inking unit, comprising:
- an apparatus for controlling an amount of fluid to be transferred, the apparatus including:
- a first rotating device having a first fluid-transferring section in a circumferential direction;
- a second rotating device having a second fluid-transferring section in a circumferential direction;
- and
- a control device for setting a phase position between said first fluid-transferring section and said second fluid-transferring section, said control device configured for accelerating and retarding a rotation of said first rotating device periodically.
A dampening unit, comprising:
- an apparatus for controlling an amount of fluid to be transferred, the apparatus including:
- a first rotating device having a first fluid-transferring section in a circumferential direction;
- a second rotating device having a second fluid-transferring section in a circumferential direction;
- and
- a control device for setting a phase position between said first fluid-transferring section and said second fluid-transferring section, said control device configured for accelerating and retarding a rotation of said first rotating device periodically.
A machine which processes printing material, comprising:
- an apparatus for controlling an amount of fluid to be transferred, the apparatus including:
- a first rotating device having a first fluid-transferring section in a circumferential direction;
- a second rotating device having a second fluid-transferring section in a circumferential direction;
- and
- a control device for setting a phase position between said first fluid-transferring section and said second fluid-transferring section, said control device configured for accelerating and retarding a rotation of said first rotating device periodically.
A method for controlling an amount of fluid to be transferred, which comprises the steps of:
- applying a fluid onto a first rotating device having a first fluid-transferring section in a circumferential direction;
- transferring at least one portion of the fluid onto a second rotating device having a second fluid-transferring section in a circumferential direction;
- controlling the at least one portion by setting a phase position between the first fluid-transferring section and the second fluid-transferring section;
- and
- accelerating and retarding periodically a rotation of the first rotating device.
