-GEARLESS MOUNTING AND PROOFING MACHINE OMNIA 335150 B – type 2 Gearless mounting and proofing machine suitable to mount plates on sleeve mandrels from traditional or gearless printing presses. Width of the proofing cylinder 1500 mm – Print repeats 280 mm (11.02”) to 1020 mm (40.16”) Max weight for the cylinders 300 Kg; max weight for the sleeve mandrels 150Kg.
Motordriven cylinder rotation controlled by treadle or by computer (2 250W d.c. motors with tachodynamo); the vertical movements of the plate cylinder are motordriven (430W d.c. motor with tachodynamo) and stop automatically.
SMS (Sleeve Mounting System) to cantilever the air mandrel during the sleeve exchange. The operator will position two collars (fixed diameter 78 mm on the journals of the cylinders or of the sleeve mandrels and input the print repeat on the control panel. No other adjustment is required. By entering the code of a job previously stored the machine will be ready set for the correct print repeat and for the correct mounting and proofing positions related to the chosen thickness of sticky back and plates.
IMAGE register system which allows to mount “in register“ without the need of microdots or crosses. The system (patented) consists of 2 SONY colour 14" monitors and 2 SONY zoom cameras with 3x to 60x magnification combined with a small mirror segment. The two cameras are geometrically positioned as to transfer to the monitors the same images seen when the operators look through the monitors. The system allows to compare the plate to mount with the proof of the previous colour or with reference lines if you do not wish to print the proof. The accuracy of the register to have a perfect position of the plate can be checked directly on the monitors while, thanks to the zoomability, you can get a higher precision and mount in perfect register independently from the presence of microdots or crosses.
MULTIAXIAL CONTROL SYSTEM The N.C., which is provided with a 5.8” colour display/keyboard/floppy disk drive (to increase the store capacity), controls 3 motorised axes (Y, Z, W ) and allowing : -to synchronise the rotation axis of the drum ( Y axis ) with the rotation axis of the plate cylinder (W axis ) t o get the same circumferential speed. - to position the drum on rotation ( Y axis ) with +/0.02mm accuracy. - to position the plate cylinder on rotation ( W axis ) with +/0.02mm accuracy and to divide – and store – automatically the print repeat in parts of equal or different extent. - to stop the plate cylinder in printing or proofing position (vertical movement, Z axis ) with 0.01 accuracy. For any job the mounting and proofing position can be stored and recalled when necessary. - To display the position of the pen ( horizontal movement, X axis ) with 0,03mm accuracy. |
