English

Subject field(s)
  • Printing Machines and Equipment
  • Forwarding, Folding, and Binding (Printing)
DEF

An automatic safety device on a press to prevent the passage of two sheets at the same time.

OBS

It is set to pass a single sheet, and as long as single sheets are fed, the two-sheet calliper remains inoperative. When two sheets are fed together, most two-sheet callipers trip the press - meaning that it is taken off impression - shut off the power, and apply the brake.
