Sensor and Information fusion is recently a major topic not only in traffic management, military, avionics, robotics, image processing, and e.g. medical applications, but becomes more and more important in machine diagnosis and conditioning for complex production machines and process engineering. Several approaches for multi-sensor systems exist in the literature (e.g. Hall, 2001; Bossé, 2007)....

The authors outlined a model to examine the modern printing machines’ unexpected breakdowns. They had been analysing the different downtimes for years. The results of the researches help to organize the pro-active maintenance at the graphic arts industry.

In the printing industry, where production never stops, it is very important to continuously maintain machine performance. If a breaks down, will stop and disturb process. Therefore, maintenance system must be managed efficiently solve those problems. The paper presents study results on continuous quality improvement of offset using preventive features. Offset process that involves multitude va...

In the current scenario of flexible manufacturing processes, the 3D printing shows up as an alternative to generate individual parts with complex geometries. Moreover, the development of the 3D printing machines, software and parameters allows the manufacture of parts in some materials suitable for implantation. In this way, this study investigates the feasibility of the production of patient-s...

The 3-dimensional (3D) printing technologies, referred to as additive manufacturing (AM) or rapid prototyping (RP), have acquired reputation over the past few years for art, architectural modeling, lightweight machines, and tissue engineering applications. Among these applications, tissue engineering field using 3D printing has attracted the attention from many researchers. 3D bioprinting has a...

The technology of the used machines and tools in printing technology and in the offset printing has reached the stage when, technologically, it is very difficult to raise the printing quality with the up to now used production materials, which the world market demands more and more [1, 2]. Because of that the producers of the printing materials and inks invest great means in the development of ...

The stability of multi-input and multi-output web-tension systems is an important factor that is required for the roll-to-roll printing machines. This paper analyzes stability for design parameters of a web-tension system of a high-speed gravure printing machine. Analyzed parameters include moment of inertia of the passive dancer, viscous friction coefficient of the dancer system, distances fro...
