In addition to design changes, the language or a color can be changed without stopping the press and without producing any waste. DIGITAL SERVO DRIVE CONTROL AND AUTOMATED PRESS SETTINGS Bosch Rexroth servo technology with job memory control all EF press settings for maximum repeatability: pre-register, register, web tension, AutoTeach, istop, printing speed, corona, hot air, UV, and more. The main control panel is a Bosch Rexroth touch screen, controlled by the icontrol interface. QUICK CHANGE TOOLING The EF ink pan with release coating also holds the metering roller. In this way, the press operator can change the ink pan and the metering roller together in one handling. Changing the ink pan and the metering roller can be done very quickly and in a very clean way. AUTOMATION EXTENSION PACKAGES APC Package The APC (Automatic Print Control) package provides automation on the print sleeve settings. With the use of servo positioning technology, the print sleeves are loaded automatically, while the APC option automatically sets the desired print pressure settings. The package also contains slide-out ink drawers and the MPS Dynamic Print Control technology to guarantee automated flawless and consistent print quality. APC Advanced Package The APC Advanced package includes all APC features in addition to Automatic Print Control on the print gap (substrate related). For initial jobs, material calibration memory is uploaded and recalled for repeat jobs. Print positional settings for print sleeves and anilox rolls can also be stored and recalled. All desired print pressure settings are achieved within seconds and waste quota is virtually negligible. SHAre EXPERTISE, multiply BENEFITS.
