Abstract
A method of preventing damage in a printing press is provided. The method includes determining a minimum value at which tension in a web in the printing press is capable of damaging at least one web contacting component of the printing press; sensing a tension in the web in the printing press; and severing the web when the sensed tension reaches the minimum determined tension value. A printing press is also provided.
Claims16
A method of preventing damage in a printing press comprising:
- determining a minimum value at which tension in a web in the printing press is capable of damaging at least one web contacting component of the printing press;
- sensing a tension in the web in the printing press;
- severing the web when the sensed tension reaches the minimum determined tension value.
A printing press comprising:
- at least one unit printing on or processing a web;
- at least one web contacting component contacting the web;
- at least one sensor for sensing a tension in the web;
- a web severer for severing the web;
- a controller connected to the at least one sensor and to the web severer, the controller configured and arranged to receive the sensed tension from the at least one sensor and instruct the web severer to sever the web when the sensed tension reaches a minimum value at which tension in the web is capable of damaging the at least one web contacting component.
