The Heidelberg ICS series is a revolutionary inline web-fed converting system that combines tremendous process and production flexibility through the use of modular, easy-to-change units for flexo printing, hot- and cold-foil stamping, rotary screen printing, film/foil laminating, and diecutting all in-line. You can even add fixed-position rotogravure print decks, for the elegance and strong colour that only gravure can deliver.
The benefits of this concept are clear: optimum workflow, easy handling, enormous time savings and maximum cost-effectiveness.
Applications:
The Heidelberg ICS series is ideally suited to a job mix of products with a low to very high degree of finishing.
Design your Heidelberg ICS in cooperation with us - entirely according to your needs.
With the modular design of our Inline Converting Systems ICS you are able to cope with any challenge in the printing and finishing process! The EVA (Easy Value Add) platform concept enables an order-oriented configuration of your printing machine. Swap printing and value-adding modules at record speed - easily and without lifting equipment.
Select specific modules and their positions in the line, as required and according to your specific print job. Whether you need screen printing, laminating, hot or cold foil application, backside printing, hologram-insetting, gravure printing with metallic colours – it’s easy with the Heidelberg ICS.
Due to the modularity of it’s design, the ICS can be perfectly adapted to your industry and customer challenges. The open interface architecture enables the integration and retrofitting to the latest technologies or finishing platforms – both now and in the future. This gives you investment security over the life of the machine. Get professional in folding cartons or develop yourself as a high-performance flexible packaging provider.
For both waterbased and UV inks, a Heidelberg ICS is always especially made to your requirements. Within the machine we can install one or both ink systems in combination to meet your individual challenges.
The ICS machine software provides performance information to your production data acquisition and job control programs. An integrated job storage system retains production parameters, reduces operating errors and keeps waste to a minimum. For you, this means a one-time setup and pushbutton recall of the converting process for any given job. And, available 100% inspection controls (with optional automatic ejection) ensure flawless shipments.
By combining printing, value-added converting and diecuttting into a single pass, your new Heidelberg ICS creates a smooth and simple workflow in your factory. You can now speed up production and better address JIT delivery requirements. Thanks to the configurability of the Heidelberg ICS we provide you with multiple production modes:
