Sample configuration:
The machine shown is a sample configuration. Some of the equipment features mentioned are optional.
The dampening unit with Hycolor Pro offers transparency for dampening unit adjustment and, thanks to motorized remote adjustment, allows quick reactions during ongoing production.
The cold transfer module for metallic and sustainable finishing effects.
Cyclical multi-web operation with up to four cold-foil rolls is possible, which significantly reduces material usage.
The PowderStar XL, supported by the Powder Assistant, enables precise zonal powder application and reduces powder consumption by up to 15 percent.
The CleanStar sustainably reduces soiling of the machine and the environment by extracting excess powder with the help of the powder shutter.
The components of the future-proof sheet feeder were designed with up to 40 percent increased fatigue strength. Service calls can be carried out in half the time thanks to the modular design. More productive time with adjustment-free pull lay and direct-drive feeder.
The precise inline sheet inspection system checks each sheet for hickeys, material defects, ink splashes, scumming, etc., before any follow-up costs are incurred. It works with two high-resolution colour cameras and maintenance-free LED lighting.
Elevation makes it possible to use higher piles. The operator’s workload at the pile turner is reduced. The storage space required is reduced.
The spectral measurement system finds the print control strip, the paper white and the register marks fully automatically and starts ink control without operator intervention.
Prinect Press Center XL 4 with Wallscreen XL
The modern 24-inch multi-touchscreen with intuitive controls allows you to monitor important presets and current production data. The Prinect Press Center XL 4 also connects the Speedmaster XL 106 with the Prinect Workflow. The open interfaces allow the easy integration and use of third-party software at any time.
Press Center Mobile and production screen
The flexible Press Center Mobile web application informs you in real time about the status of connected printing machines. It visualizes important production and process data as a basis for optimized processes – either on the mobile device or on the Speedmaster XL 106 production screen.
The new coating unit ensures high quality through simple operation and short set-up times. Anilox rollers with a larger diameter and less weight are designed for maximum printing speeds.
Coating, anilox roller and coating plate changescan be performed with various levels of automation, including semi-/fully automatic coating plate changes with AutoPlate Coating/Pro, fully automatic anilox roller changes with Autoloader and automatic coating changes in the Coating Center.
In Push to Stop mode, the coating unit enablesparallel changeovers without manual intervention at the same time as other set-up processes and automatic cleaning functions.
The Hycolor XL inking/dampening unit with intelligent ink distribution and improved Vario system meets the highest demands in terms of quality and waste reduction when processing challenging jobs. The first good sheet is achieved quickly, and output and efficiency are increased.
Combined with the fully automatic AutoPlate Proplate changer, Hycolor XL with Multidrive enables parallel set-up processes. The blanket cylinders, impression cylinders and inking units are washed and the printing plates changed in about 2.5 minutes.
UV dryer systems DryStar UV, DryStar Combination UV with IR and hot air or DryStar LED Pro create extraordinary effects.
DryStar Combination Eco saves up to 30 percent drying energy thanks to optimized input, integrated heat recovery and insulation. It emits less heat into the workplace.
Independent circuits in the inking and coating units make it easy to switch quickly between UV and conventional printing. This provides flexibility in the selection of printing processes.
Technical data can vary according to job, consumables, printing stock and, possible, other factors.
