Rockwell Automation will work with you to develop solutions that will help give you a competitive advantage throughout your machine s life cycle.
4 4 Inline Flexo Printing Introduction The vast, ever-growing demand for commercial and industrial packaging and labeling products has created an enormous business opportunity for machine builders worldwide. Whether it s a hologram security seal on your recent software purchase, the label on the overnight package that arrived at your door, or the shrink-wrapped sleeve on your favorite soft drink bottle, virtually every product we come in contact with has part of its identity tied to the packaging container or an applied label. The global markets for package printing only involving pliant materials such as foils, films, paper or flexible sheeting to form a container grew at a 4.4% rate to $75.4M in Add to that the expected 30% growth to $98.1M in 2015, and it is easy to see why machinery builders are demanding innovative automation and control solutions capable of meeting their customers precise performance, accuracy and time-to-market requirements. At Label Expo, a major North American tradeshow for the printing industry, the ability to leverage the power of automation was highlighted as one of the fundamental skills needed to achieve higher productivity, better yields, reduced changeover time, reduced waste, and greater flexibility objectives that are made all the more challenging with today s continuously changing substrate materials.
5 5 Inline Flexo Printing Introduction Flexography, or flexo, gets its name from the requirement that the printing plate surface maintain contact with the web (paper, nonwovens or film), which it does by being flexible. The method is commonly used on flexible packaging, cartons, shopping bags, food and hygiene bags, selfadhesive labels and wallpaper. The process of one color flexographic printing is demonstrated in the picture below. The plate is first affixed to the plate cylinder and then slated into the registration position. The ink is pulled from the well and transferred to the flexible plate by the Anilox roll. Since the web is pressed between the plate roll and the impression cylinder, the ink image will be transferred to the web. This is how the flexographic printing processed the image of the web created. A multi-station flexographic printing press is designed to precisely apply water-based or ultraviolet (UV) ink droplets from an anilox roll to a plate roll containing the image. The image is then transported to the substrate via contact with the impression roll. The ability to apply a dot of ink precisely onto another dot of ink is what defines color print registration and determines whether something is in focus to the human eye. It s an important measure of quality on the finished film, paper or carton.
6 6 Inline Flexo Printing Flexographic printing offers numerous advantages. First the plates are inexpensive to make and are disposable, accommodating the frequent end-user changes common with packaging printing. Second, plates are mounted easily on the machine. Third flexo printing produces quality images. On the contrary, flexographic printing does offer challenges. Nip pressure can distort the flexible plate material affecting the image quality. Pressure control is very important. Even with good control, plate material wears faster than with other technologies. A typical multi-station flexographic printing press consists of the following sections: Dual Tension Unwind keeps the web under precise tension control and velocity regulation through the infeed pacing section of the press. Infeed transports the web and isolates the tension before presenting the web to the first print deck. Print Deck, the first print deck station applies a printed registration bar to the web as well as the first color. Subsequent print decks individually apply colors one at a time using the printed registration bar for guidance. Outfeed, this section follows the last print deck and isolates the web once again with precise tension control and velocity regulation. Converting sections, these modules for die-cutting, punching, embossing, trimming or slitting the web prior to rewinding the product are common post-processing operations.
7 7 Inline Flexo Printing Challenges Increasing competitiveness and market pressures are causing converters to demand more flexibility, higher productivity, better yields and less waste from their converting machinery investments. This is a challenge, as press machine builders are already approaching 750 to 1,200 feet/min (229 to 365 m/min) web speeds and maintaining +/ to inch (.05 to.13 mm) print registration tolerances. They re also keeping scrap to the length of the full press plus one print deck during machine make-ready. Web throughput will continue to increase as new drying system technologies are designed. To meet changing styles and packaging requirements, end users are seeking machines with interchangeable sections and variable-size print roll sleeves. Since flexible packaging and label print images, unlike newspapers or magazines, vary widely in size, as well as in substrate and material requirements, the ability to quickly change machine sections or roll size is critical. OEMs must meet additional end user requirements such as: Compensation for gear-marking generated by the machine s mechanics. Eliminating pull-out, as print registration must be held during speed changes of the web. Registry with and without electronic registration correction (ERC). Re-registration of a pre-printed web for insetting and additional color application. Compensation for printing long and short due to web variation. Constant sampling and trending of the error in the web for ongoing correction. Web guide for cross register control in certain applications. Combine these challenges with changing substrates, inks and drying systems and one begins to fully understand the demands of printing for the packaging and label printing industry. The Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture provides a proven solution to meet the challenging demands of the packaging and narrow
8 8 Inline Flexo Printing Solutions & Benefits The Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture provides a proven solution to meet the challenging demands of the packaging and web label printing industry. Kinetix Integrated Motion leverages the Logix Control Platform to seamlessly integrate with Allen-Bradley Logix family controllers, servo drives, servo motors and actuators. Kinetix reduces programming time, improves information flow between components, and brings flexibility to machine design and efficiency to the manufacturing floor. Figure 1: Typical Press Control Architecture featuring the Kinetix 5500 EtherNet/IP servo drive
9 9 Inline Flexo Printing Logix Controller The Logix controller combines motion and sequential control into a single multi-tasking controller platform, resulting in lower system costs, easier maintenance and simplified system installation. The Allen-Bradley ControlLogix processor delivers the speed, resolution and accuracy needed for reliable web control and axis synchronization via the fully digital, SERCOS-based Kinetix servo system. Rockwell Software Studio 5000 Logix Designer Rockwell Software Studio 5000 is the only software necessary for both motion and sequential control, eliminating the need for multiple programming tools. The Power Programming methodology utilizes the Studio 5000 development software powered with Phase Manager and Add-on instructions (AOIs) to implement the integrated torque, velocity and position requirements of the unwind, infeed, print, outfeed, converting and rewind press sections. Kinetix 5500 Servo Drives The Kinetix 5500 servo drives provide the required dynamic performance for print registration accuracy.
