A dispensing nozzle assembly for dispensing a flowable liquid through a nozzle, incorporating a rotating tube assembly. The dispensing nozzle assembly includes a nozzle coupling for supplying the flowable liquid, and a cylindrical nozzle tube having an inlet end connected to the nozzle coupling, and an outlet end attached to a dispensing nozzle. A union housing is secured to the nozzle coupling, and has a top opening through which the nozzle coupling extends, and an interior space that accepts and surrounds the nozzle coupling. The rotating tube assembly also includes a rotatable, cylindrical outer tube that surrounds the nozzle tube, which has an inlet end that extends into union housing, and an outlet end that extends proximate the outlet end of the nozzle tube. The inlet end of the rotatable outer tube that extends into union housing and is secured rotatably by a pair of spaced-apart, axially-aligned shaft bearings.

A viscous material stirring apparatus includes a stirring member that rotates about a rotation axis and has a tip radially separated from the rotation axis, a rotary actuator that rotates the stirring member about the rotation axis, a moving mechanism that moves the stirring member, and a control device. The control device drives the moving mechanism to immerse the tip of the stirring member into an applied viscous material, drives the rotary actuator to rotate the stirring member around the rotation axis, and drives the moving mechanism to move the stirring member along a coating direction of the viscous material with the tip of the stirring member immersed in the viscous material.

An applicator head for a vacuum coating system includes a manifold shell having opposing shell plates, each including a conduit attachment coupled to a shell aperture. An applicator manifold is affixed to each shell plate. Each applicator manifold includes two coupled manifold plates, with one including a manifold aperture, and each is affixed to the respective shell plate so that each manifold aperture aligns with the respective shell aperture. An applicator channel is formed between the manifold plates of each applicator manifold, and the applicator channel is fluidically coupled to the manifold aperture of each respective applicator manifold. Each applicator channel forms an applicator port at a leading edge of each respective applicator manifold, and each leading edge is configured to be complementary in shape to an edge of a workpiece to be coated. First and second face plates are disposed over the leading edges of the applicator manifolds.

A machine for processing textile substrates includes a base configured to receive a substrate support carrying a textile substrate, and may further include a nozzle assembly supported above the base for applying pretreatment liquid to a pretreatment area of the substrate during relative movement between the nozzle assembly and the substrate support along a conveying direction. A forced air assembly is supported above the base for movement transverse to the conveying direction. A controller that controls the relative movement between the substrate support and the nozzle assembly along the conveying direction, or the movement of the forced air assembly along the second axis based on information related to a pretreatment area or a print area of the textile substrate in order to direct heated air from the forced air assembly onto an area of the textile substrate substantially corresponding to the pretreatment area or the print area.

The disclosure relates to a nozzle device for emitting an emission medium onto a component, preferably for emitting the emission medium onto two side faces and preferably an end face of a fold, an edge or a transition joint of the component. The nozzle device comprises an opening configuration for emitting the emission medium and is distinguished particularly in that the opening configuration comprises at least two openings for emitting at least two jets of the emission medium and the at least two openings are oriented inwardly so that the at least two jets approach one another toward the emission side.

The disclosure relates to a nozzle device for dispensing a viscous application medium in the form of at least one jet (onto a component, preferably for the encircling application of the application medium onto a rabbet, edge or transition joint of the component (100), wherein the at least one jet defines a jet width. The nozzle device comprises an opening configuration for forming at least one slit opening to dispense the application medium and is in particular distinguished in that the opening configuration is concave to effect a narrowing of the jet width towards the dispensing side. The disclosure also relates to an associated method.

The disclosure relates to a nozzle device for emitting at least one emission medium onto a component, preferably onto a fold, an edge or a transition joint of the component. The nozzle device comprises at least two nozzle plates arranged adjoining one another, wherein a first nozzle plate comprises at least one opening for emitting at least one emission jet and a second nozzle plate comprises at least two openings for emitting at least two emission jets.

According to one embodiment, an imprint template manufacturing apparatus includes a stage, a supply head, a moving mechanism, and a controller. The stage supports a template that includes a base having a main surface, and a convex portion provided on the main surface and having an end surface on a side opposite to the main surface. A concavo-convex pattern to be pressed against a liquid material to be transferred is formed on the end surface. The supply head supplies a liquid-repellent material in a liquid form to the template on the stage. The moving mechanism moves the stage and the supply head relative to each other in a direction along the stage. The controller controls the supply head and the moving mechanism such that the supply head applies the liquid-repellent material to at least the side surface of the convex portion so as to avoid the concavo-convex pattern.

A bookbinding machine calculates a rotational speed coefficient, which represents the percent change of a rotational speed of a pump 6 relative to the reference rotational speed of the pump, depending on a thickness of a book block P to be bound and a conveying speed of a clamper by use of a first function defining a relationship between the thickness of the book block and the rotational speed coefficient and a second function defining a relationship between the rotational speed coefficient and the conveying speed of the clamper, calculates the set value of the rotational speed of the pump based on the rotational speed coefficients and the reference rotational speed, and sets the rotational speed of the pump according to the set value of the rotational speed.
