    Abstract: A rotary laser engraving device for retaining and rotating an object for engraving includes a frame, a first support assembly and a second support assembly mounted on the frame. To support the object the first support assembly includes a set of driven rollers and the second support assembly includes a set of free rollers, each being diagonally offset from the frame. The second support assembly is configured to slidably move on the frame to vary a longitudinal separation between the driven rollers and the free rollers. The second support assembly further includes a vertical adjustment assembly configured to move the free rollers vertically to vary a vertical separation between the driven rollers and the free rollers. In some aspects, the first support assembly also includes a fixed vertical adjustment assembly configured to move the driven rollers vertically to vary a vertical separation between the driven rollers and the free rollers.

    Abstract: In an image card where an image is formed on a thin plate made of special synthetic paper or plastic by engraving by sweeping the plate with the engraving needle through relative movement of an engraving needle and a plate, it is impossible to form a hidden image which can be viewed when a viewpoint is changed or form an image formed by watermark engraving and the hidden image within the same plane. A hidden image is formed on an image card by engraving while angles of stripes of striped patterns are changed in response to shading of an image. Further, an image engraving device is provided with a rotary driving unit, and engraving is performed in a state that an extending direction of striped grooves of the hidden image and a forming direction of the engraving are made equal, so that a wall face of a groove is always formed by the same side face of an engraving needle and undulation does not occur on the wall face of the groove. Similarly, a shape of a bottom face of the groove is made even. As a result, precision of the hidden image is made high and an effect as the hidden image is further improved.

    Abstract: A method for aligning a cylinder support in an engraver includes a step of actuating a plurality of jaws to grip the cylinder support such that the cylinder support becomes automatically aligned in the engraver. The actuating step may further include the step of inserting the cylinder support a predetermined distance into a receiving cavity, where the predetermined distance may range from about 0-300 mm. The method is further characterized in that it may include steps of biasing the plurality of jaws to a predetermined position, energizing a cylinder to cause the plurality of jaws to move substantially simultaneously towards a rotating axis of the engraver; pivoting the pivot lever to cause the jaws to actuate toward and away from a rotational axis of the engraver; and/or lubricating the plurality of jaws with a lubricant and purging the lubricant associated with the plurality of jaws; and/or indexing each of the plurality of jaws to provide a desired travel range. In one embodiment, the cylinder support includes a support shaft located on an end of the cylinder, with the support shaft having a bearing journal thereon such that the actuating step may include the step of actuating the plurality of jaw members to clamp the bearing journal, thereby causing the cylinder to be aligned in the engraver.

    Abstract: An apparatus for engraving vein cuts in a flat metal strip is described including a support adapted to support the metal strip thereon. Three air-driven motors are mounted on the support and have rotary cutting tools thereon which are utilized to cut angularly disposed vein cuts and a horizontally disposed vein cut in one surface of the metal strip. The strip is advanced across the support with the cutting tools being brought into engagement with the strip at the proper time to create the vein cuts therein. A punch is also mounted on the support for creating indexing notches at the lower edge of the strip. The sequential engraving and advancing of the strip through the support is controlled by a programmable controller.
