摘要： A substrate manager for a substrate exposure machine is used, in one example, as a platesetter. As such, it comprises a substrate storage system, containing one or more stacks of substrates, such as plates in one implementation. A substrate picker is provided for picking substrates from the stack of substrates. The substrates are then handed to a transfer system that conveys the substrates to an imaging engine. According to the invention, a substrate inverter system is also provided. This system inverts the substrates from being imaging or emulsion side down to emulsion side up in the present implementation. This allows plates, for example, which are stored emulsion side down in cassettes to be flipped to an emulsion side up orientation, and then transferred, using the substrate transfer system to the imaging engine. This flipping process has two advantages. First, the plates can be emulsion side up during the transfer. This prevents any damage to the sensitive plate emulsions. Moreover, the plates, now in an emulsion side up configuration are in the right orientation for being installed on the outside of a drum on an external drum imaging system, as is common in many platesetters. Also, the plates are picked from the non emulsion side. Thus the system is less sensitive to emulsion formulation changes. A slip sheet capture mechanism is also provided to pass slip sheets separating the plates to a storage location.
摘要翻译：在一个示例中，使用用于基板曝光机的基板管理器作为制版机。因此，它包括在一个实施方式中包含一个或多个衬底堆叠（例如板）的衬底存储系统。衬底拾取器被提供用于从衬底叠层拾取衬底。然后将衬底交给传送系统，将衬底传送到成像引擎。根据本发明，还提供了一种基板逆变器系统。在本实施方案中，该系统将基底从成像或乳液侧向下翻转到乳液侧。这使得例如将存储在乳剂盒中的乳液侧面的板翻转到乳液侧向上取向，然后使用基底转移系统转移到成像引擎。这种翻转过程有两个优点。首先，在转移过程中，板可以乳化面朝上。这样可以防止对敏感的平板乳液的任何损坏。此外，现在处于乳液侧面向上构型的板是正确的方向，用于安装在外部鼓成像系统上的鼓的外侧，如许多制版机中常见的那样。此外，从非乳液侧挑取板。因此，该系统对乳液制剂的变化较不敏感。还提供滑片捕获机构以将分隔板的滑动片通过到存储位置。

摘要： A filtration system, includes a filtration unit and processor. The filtration unit operates to filter ablative particles generated by thermal imaging of media and transmits a signal corresponding to a parameter, such as a pressure or pressure differential, representing a current state of the operation of the filtration unit, such as the state of the filters, during the filtering of the ablative particles. The processor receives the transmitted signals and generates, responsive to the receipt of the transmitted signal, a signal representing operator information associated with the current state operation, such as a warning or instructions for correcting a deficiency, and/or a signal to stop the imaging of the media.

摘要： A vacuum system can remove ablated particles from an internal drum platesetter which has a drum for supporting a photosensitive medium, a carriage moveable in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the drum, and a laser mounted onto the moveable carriage for generating a beam to create an image on the medium during movement of the carriage, the beam ablating particles of the medium during creation of the image. The vacuum system includes: a vacuum head fixedly attached to the moveable carriage, and having at least one chamber for receiving the ablated particles through a slot located proximate to a periphery of the vacuum head; and an exhaust system connected to the vacuum head and including ductwork, at least one fan and at least one filter, for extracting the ablated particles from the at least one chamber of the vacuum head. The vacuum system also includes a hose capable of expanding and retracting in length to accommodate the movement of the vacuum head, and an internal duct support system for supporting the hose during expansion and retraction to prevent sagging of the hose. A swivel connection can be located at one or both ends of the hose to accommodate rotational movement of the hose during expansion and retraction.

摘要： A flow system includes an air mover operable to cause the flow. A first stage, such as a coarse filter, is disposed upstream of the air mover and operates on the flow. A second stage, such as an adsorbent cell or muffler, is disposed downstream of the air mover and further operates on the flow. Other stages, such as a fine filter, may be disposed between the first and second stages.
