A spreading tool allows width and depth variation of the spreading blade. A plate has first openings and second openings along with a first bottom edge. A blade has slots and is pressed against the plate so that the slots each align with a respective one first opening and a securement bolt is passed therethrough, the blade slid up or down against the plate so that the lower edge of the blade extends a desired distance below the bottom of the plate prior to bolt tightening. An extender has third openings and is pressed against the opposing surface of the plate so that its openings align with the second openings of the plate with securement bolts pass therethrough. A lower edge of the extender aligns with the bottom edge of the plate and extends beyond a side of the plate.

The embodiments of the disclosure disclose a doctor-bar adjusting mechanism for a coater, including: a base bracket, an upper plate and a lower plate secured to the base bracket at two ends thereof, a side of a doctor-bar sandwiched between the upper plate and the lower plate, and an other side of the doctor-bar close to a surface of a roller of the coater; the upper plate further comprising an adjusting plate on an upper side thereof, the adjusting plate secured to the base bracket at ends thereof and including a plurality of adjusting devices thereon adapted for adjusting a spacing between the adjusting plate and the upper plate. The implementation of the embodiments of the disclosure may adjust conveniently a spacing between the doctor-bar and the roller and improve the maintenance efficiency and productivity of the coater.

A print system and a method for confirming complete curing of a marking material are disclosed. For example, the print system includes a plurality of printheads arranged in a two-dimensional array, a curing light source, a curing confirmation system, a movable member to hold an object and a controller to control movement of the movable member to move the object past the array of printheads, to operate the plurality of printheads to eject the marking material onto the object as the object passes the two-dimensional array of printheads, to operate the curing light source to cure the marking material and to operate the curing confirmation system to confirm that the curing of the marking material is complete.

A die head apparatus is provided with a front blade, a rear blade, a center blade, and an internal impurity removal space. The front blade and the center blade are configured to form a pool of a slurry. The internal impurity removal space is positioned between the center blade and the rear blade. A distance separating the rear blade and the substrate is set to be smaller than the distance separating the center blade and the substrate.

Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to a spreading unit, having a shaper, for spreading viscous material, in particular sealing material, on a component, wherein the shaper has a shaping contour for the forming of the viscous material in the course of the spreading. It is proposed that the shaping contour of the shaper for the forming of the viscous material is adjustable by actuator-based means.
