The present disclosure is directed to a method of applying a fluid pressure to a portion of a transfer member of a transfer assembly. The transfer member rotates about a first rotation axis and comprises leading and trailing portions. The portion of the transfer member is rotatable about a second rotation axis between a first position and a second position. The method comprises providing a fluid conduit in fluid communication with the leading or trailing portion of the portion of the transfer member when the portion of the transfer member is in the first position, rotating the portion of transfer member between the first position and the second position, and maintaining the fluid conduit in fluid communication with the same of the leading or trailing portion of the portion of the transfer member after the portion of the transfer member is moved into the second position.
A method of applying a fluid pressure to a portion of a transfer member of a transfer assembly, wherein the transfer assembly comprises a frame defining a first rotation axis, wherein the transfer member rotates about the first rotation axis, wherein the portion of the transfer member comprises a leading portion and a trailing portion while rotating about the first rotation axis, and wherein the portion of the transfer member is rotatable about a second rotation axis between a first position and a second position during rotation about the first rotation axis, the method comprising:
The method of claim 2, comprising maintaining the second fluid conduit in fluid communication with the trailing portion of the portion of the transfer member when the portion of the transfer member is in the second position.
A method of applying a fluid pressure to a portion of a transfer member of a transfer assembly, wherein the transfer assembly comprises a frame defining a first rotation axis, wherein the transfer member orbits about the first rotation axis, wherein the portion of the transfer member comprises a first zone, a second zone, a third zone, and a fourth zone, and wherein the portion of the transfer member is rotatable about a second rotation axis between a first position and a second position during orbiting about the first rotation axis, the method comprising:
A method of applying a fluid pressure to a portion of a transfer member of a transfer assembly, wherein the transfer assembly comprises a frame defining a first rotation axis, wherein the transfer member revolves about the first rotation axis, wherein the portion of the transfer member comprises a leading portion and a trailing portion when revolving about the first rotation axis, and wherein the portion of the transfer member is rotatable about a second rotation axis between a first position and a second position during revolution about the first rotation axis, the method comprising:
