Gripper/Web Gap

Updated November 9, 2022

Applies to : Sheetfed, Web, Digital Press Types

The Gripper/Web Gap value is subtracted from the Width of the Press Sheet. From the result, a calculation is made to determine if the Finished Size will fit on the remaining Press Sheet. Depending on other options the system will try to calculate the best number of Outs for that Press Sheet.

 

 

Each component type has a unique label for the Finished Size.

 

Component Type	Finished Size Width Field
Sheetfed	Untrim/Sig Flat (Width)
Web	Sig. Width x Length (Width)
Flexo	No effect
Business Forms	No effect
Wide Format	Untrim Size (Width)

 

 

If the calculation results in a value greater than the Press Sheet Length the system will enter a 0 in the number Outs field and will not let the user calculate or save the component.
