The Speedmaster XL 105 with Perfecting Device Meets the Most Discerning Customer Requirements Quickly and Cost-efficiently
05/28/2008
- Up to 40 percent improvement in productivity in perfecting mode
- Highest level of automation in the 70 x 100 centimeter format class
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) is unveiling the
Speedmaster XL 105 with perfecting device at drupa 2008. This Peak
Performance Class press sets new standards in terms of productivity
and cost-efficiency in perfecting mode. It helps to boost
productivity levels in perfecting mode by up to 40 percent compared
with other presses currently available on the market. This
high-performance press also provides all the technical benefits of
the straight printing press and integrates innovative perfecting
technology in one complete end-to-end system that achieves speeds
of up to 15,000 sheets per hour.
With the introduction of the Speedmaster XL 105 at drupa 2004, a new performance class was launched for industrial-scale commercial, label, and packaging printing.
"The straight printing press has met our customers' every expectation," states Dr. Jürgen Rautert, Board Member responsible for Engineering and Manufacturing at Heidelberg. The 1,000th printing unit rolled off the production lines in March 2006.
In November 2007, the Speedmaster XL 105 won the prestigious PIA/GATF InterTech Technology Award.
Technology leadership in perfecting presses
The Speedmaster SM 102 has been the clear global market leader in the 70 cm x 100 cm format class for many years.
In order to expand its product range in the 70 x 100 centimeter (27.56 x 39.37 inch) format class for drupa 2008, Heidelberg now offers customers who value maximum productivity and cost efficiency the ideal solution.
The principle of fully automatic three-drum perfecting technology with variable transfer cylinder and eccentric reversing drum is now being further enhanced with high-precision and ultra-smooth sheet travel. The innovative, variable AirTransfer system and exchangeable shells for the impression and transfer cylinders ensure that perfected sheets are guided mark-free through the press. Special components in the delivery such as the dynamic sheet brake and suction segment disks provide reliable quality at top speeds of around 15,000 sheets per hour in perfecting mode.
The highest level of automation in the 70 x 100 centimeter format class
The fully automatic perfecting device and comprehensive automation of numerous process steps help minimize makeready times and raise productivity levels. The new high-performance Prinect Press Center control station and the brand new Sheetfed Control press control system deliver simple and central press control. What's more, the innovative Intellistart process-oriented operator guidance system also helps deliver shorter makeready times during job changes.
Keeping the environment in mind
Environmental concerns such as energy efficiency, a long service life, reduced waste volumes, and low emissions are at the heart of product development. A sophisticated technological concept makes the Speedmaster XL 105 perfecting press an environmentally friendly unit, even when operating at top speed. The PowderStar AP 500 Duo from Heidelberg is a unique powder spray device for perfecting printing. Optimized powder distribution helps to boost the efficiency of powder application, meaning that less powder is required.
The CleanStar process air cleaning system collects stray powder and extracts it to minimize the accumulation of dust and unpleasant odors at the press. This in turn means that the press requires far less cleaning.
