A creping blade having a first side face, a second side face, and a shelf extending from the first side face to the second side face, with a scraping edge at the intersection of the first side face and the shelf. The shelf has a first section having a first coefficient of friction and a second section have a second coefficient of friction and the second coefficient of friction is greater than the first coefficient of friction.

A glue dispensing device includes a glue container, a first driver, an elastic member, a connecting plate, and a first limiting plate. The glue container includes a containing main body and a glue dispensing head. The glue dispensing head includes a first receiving groove and a dispensing opening. The containing main body includes a second receiving groove and a third receiving groove. The first driver is arranged in the glue container, and includes a piston, a driving portion, and a piston rod. The elastic member is arranged in the second receiving groove. The connecting plate is fixed in the first receiving groove and located at a side of the piston. A first through hole penetrates the connecting plate. The first limiting plate is movably received in the third receiving groove and fixedly sleeved on the piston rod. The elastic member abuts between the connecting plate and the first limiting plate.

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.

Disclosed herein is a system for slurry coating leveling. The system includes a guide frame and a scrapper apparatus coupled to the guide frame. The scrapper apparatus includes a plurality of scrapper fingers aligned substantially parallel to each other. The system also includes a contour guide coupled to the scrapper fingers. The contour guide is configured to guide movement of the scrapper fingers across a surface of a component having a slurry coating. The scrapper fingers conform to a contour profile of the surface to level the slurry coating on the surface of the component.

A production device for a production of thermoset semifinished products comprises at least one material application unit (12) for applying a material (14) to a carrier element (16), wherein the production device further comprises at least one recording unit (18), which has at least one sensor element (20), for recording a thickness (22) of the material (14) applied to the carrier element (16).

In a general aspect, a coating blade for application of coating color to a fibrous web can include an elongate substrate having a longitudinal edge. Within an operating zone of the coating blade intended for contact with a coating color, the elongate substrate can include a longitudinal wear-resistant deposit adjacent to the longitudinal edge. The coating blade, within the operating zone, can also include a longitudinal masking deposit adjoining the longitudinal wear-resistant deposit.

Methods and apparatuses for applying coatings on a baggy web are provided. A Mayer rod and a back-up roll engage with each other to form a nip. The back-up roll has a deformable inner layer with a surface thereof covered by a deformable outer layer. The Mayer rod and the flexible web at a contacting area are impressed into the back-up roll with a machine-direction nip width W and a nip engagement depth D, which enables formation of a coating having a substantially uniform thickness.

An additive manufacturing system for printing an article including a build plate having a build surface between an inner radius and an outer radius that may receive powder particles and a recoating assembly that may distribute the powder particles onto the build surface to form a build layer of the article. The recoating assembly includes a support jig having a first end, a second end, and a support wall extending between the first and second ends and a recoater blade coupled to the second end and extending along at least a portion of a length of the support wall. A shape of the recoater blade is such that, when the recoater blade is positioned against the build surface, an angle between the recoater blade and a tangent at each radii of the build plate is substantially constant.
