Eagle Automatic Ink Levelers The Eagle automatic ink leveler is a capacitive sensing, non-contact system that automatically maintains a user-determined level of ink in the fountain during the course of production. Our design philosophy is simple: to produce a cost effective piece of equipment that will provide years of trouble free service with a minimum of maintenance required. The simplicity of our design is a major benefit in itself. Our fluid valve for example is a stainless steel, high pressure, 3 piece design manufactured by Sharpe valve of the USA! The 3 piece design with the in-line serviceable swing-out cener section allows easy access to internal valve components without disturbing the alingment of the pipe and functions as both a valve and union. The system consists of a sensor which reads the actual level of ink in the fountain, and an ink distribution manifold (fountain bar) to dispense the ink into the fountain. A remotely actuated valve allows the flow of ink as required and a control unit controls the operation of the system.
The fountain bar has been designed to accommodate most press styles and fountain sizes and is fabricated for a custom fit to your fountain. The bar utilizes our exclusive Talon-Grip™ Hardware, which comes in two pieces. The top piece holds the actual fountain bar and snaps into the lower portion of the bracket assembly.
The bottom portion can be either a bolt on type or made to slide over the horizontal portion of the cheek itself. If the slide over option is chosen the measurements for the cheek must be verified and checked prior to fabrication. There must be a minimum of 3/8" clearance between the cheek plate and the frame of the press to use the slide over bracket assembly. If space is a concern we suggest that the assembly be bolted into place on the cheek plate. The clamping action of the Talon-Grip™ Hardware sets the fountain bar to the fountain and the spring ball ensures a secure fit. This configuration allows for quick release of the fountain bar for maintenance or color rotation. The Talon-Grip™ Hardware is milled from aluminum and anodized to resist corrosion.
