Abstract

In a die cutting press (16), a registration system for successively positioning a die unit (3,4) in prede-termined relationship to defined areas of an elongat-ed material (56) includes servomotors (60, 68) for moving the die unit (34) in a direction transverse to the path of travel of the material (56), and for rotating the die unit (34) relative to the material (56). At least one camera (96) is provided for receiving images, and is focused on predetermined locations relative to the die unit (34). Reference image data representative of the desired position of the indicia within the images received by the camera (96) is compared with the im-ages actually received and longitudinal, lateral and angular difference data is generated which is repres-entative of this difference. In response to the generat-ed data, the material (56) and die unit (34) are shifted to compensate for the difference in position so that proper registration is achieved.
