Dynamic Sheet Brake
When printing at high speeds or on light-weight stocks, one
challenge faced by printers is to actually stop the sheet in the
delivery and create a tidy pile with no damage to the sheet edges
etc. With the release of the 18,000sph package on the CD74 in 2006,
Heidelberg introduced a unique feature called Dynamic Sheet Brake.
Unlike previous sheet brakes, which rely on suction and friction to slow the substrate, dynamic sheet brake actually works like a brake.
Once the sheet enters the delivery, the dynamic sheet brake speeds up close to the speed of the sheet and grabs the sheet via suction. Then it slows down settling the sheet onto the pile with no marking. At full speed this happens up to four times a second.
Experience has shown that presses with dynamic sheet brake can run on average 1000-1500 sph faster.
At drupa 08 Heidelberg announced the release of dynamic sheet brake as an option on all A1 presses, and as a standard feature on the new XL105 and XL75 perfecting presses.
