Speedmaster SX 52

Performance innovations in conjunction with the assurance of a winning machine platform: The Speedmaster SX 52 combines the innovative and future-oriented technology of the XL range with the successful Speedmaster SM 52 platform. You benefit from the greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness that result from shorter makeready and throughput times and ergonomic operation of the machine.

The profitable and extremely versatile high-performance Speedmaster SX 52 is an ideal investment in the future.

The Speedmaster SX 52 supports a wide range of applications. Configuration options include anything from two to ten printing units, with or without a perfecting device and coating unit. Different coating systems for conventional or UV applications and an inline die-cutting unit are just a few of the possibilities. Depending on the requirements, the Speedmaster SX 52 can be equipped with a variety of components such as an inking unit temperature control device, an ink zone calibration system, or Color Assistant Pro for optimizing ink presettings. The result is an impressively versatile made-to-measure machine that paves the way for profitable production.

As a pioneer for eco-friendly printing Heidelberg develops solutions to reduce CO 2 and process emissions as well as waste and to eliminate it. Consequently, the technology of the Speedmaster SX 52 sets standards in more than just productivity. The high energy efficiency and the careful use of resources make it the most eco-friendly machine in its class. The Star System peripherals are perfectly coordinated with the press. They are highly efficient and designed to conserve energy and resources. Reducing or completely eliminating the use of alcohol by equipping the press with special rollers in the dampening system and recommended peripherals makes another important contribution to ensuring environmentally friendly print production. This results in a print process that delivers eco-friendly operation at lower costs.

From April 2012, Heidelberg will be supplying Speedmaster SX 52 Anicolor presses on a carbon-neutral basis as standard. This commitment is unique in the industry.
