MASTER CI - Flexo press

• 
• 
• 

The MASTER CI combines advanced technologies and smart innovations in CI flexo printing to enable the highest productivity, process stability and flexibility independent of the operators skill level. Advanced robotics guarantees a fully automated press setup.

Ground-breaking technologies for exceptional productivity 

• Modular design for fast installation and commissioning in less than 4 weeks
• Unique press architecture enabling to either manually change the sleeves or to automatically replace all shafted elements and the sleeves of the print decks using the smartDROID system 
• smartCLEAN II on-board washing for fast cleaning of print units. Individual wash-up for doctor-blade change, speeding up the press make-ready, from the operator's side. Combined with the new smartCOL, a color matching system that measures the LAB values before printing, it minimizes ink consumption and facilitates machine handling 
• Exclusive combined shaft and shaftless function in one winder design for fast and easy handling irrespective of run lengths and production requirements
• Automatic splice at high speed in less than 2 minutes from loading of reel to splice ready, guaranteeing minimal substrate waste
• smartTHREAD for web threading from unwinder to rewinder in less than 3 min 
• New generation smartGPS II allows digital proofing and offline quality check and preparation of print tools
• High production speed, up to 800 m/min.

Repeatable and consistent print quality & sustainable operation

• Optimized machine configuration and exclusive technical solutions for maximum performance:
  • New print decks with automatic bearing block solutions for maximum stability
  • New concept for plate cylinder and anilox roller shafts, combined with sleeve-cylinder handling
  • Direct torque drives on multiple sections 
  • Quick change and easy to handle two-piece doctor blade chamber 
  • New CI-Cleaner system cleaning the CI drum during production 

• Energy saving modules for sustainable operation.

Digitalized production workflow and connected services

• Job Recipe Management System for a digitalized production workflow from file to finished product with creation of a digital twin of the produced reels
• smartTOOL fully automatic tool management system
• smartCAL automatic calibration and monitoring of all main production and service data
• Predictive maintenance enabling the operator to change wear parts before they fail  
• Connected Services.
