Register Presetting


Benefits

  • Typical 8 color job is brought into correct register in
    30 - 40 seconds at set-up speed (approx. 40 m/min, 130 fpm)

  • Extremely accurate, ± 0.05 mm (0.0019”)

  • Simple interface allows new jobs to be properly set up and running in just a few seconds

  • Single step correction is faster and more efficient than competitive systems that use multiple steps

  • Register marks can be printed anywhere on the repeat, in either longitudinal or lateral orientation, providing maximum flexibility for positioning on your jobs

  • Use of a common standard mark pattern, means that you are not tied to one supplier, providing flexibility in your processes

Time Is Money

One of the most effective ways to improve CI press produc-

tivity is to reduce the time required for make-ready.

By incorporating this technology, the process of bringing a new job into correct registration can be accomplished in less than a minute. The “single step” correction method used brings jobs into register faster than competitive systems. The feature has been developed specifically for use on Flexo CI presses with direct-driven printing decks. A research study done for the Flexographic Technical Association determined that the average converter saves three minutes and 335 meters (1100 feet) of material, per job. They also gained 8 minutes of billable time, per job.

Improve Overall Press Productivity

The time savings produced by the register control system can be expected to translate directly into additional productive hours. Because make-ready will be accomplished in substan-

tially less time, you will produce more product, resulting in greater productivity and throughput.

 

Reduce Make-Ready Material Usage

In addition to time savings, the payback and ROI of this system is driven by the material savings it produces. The system will be able to reduce the amount of material used for make-ready register to about one-tenth.



Functional Principle

The Register Presetting option uses the PREMIUS digital 3Chip camera to capture an image of the register mark. The system analyses the captured image of the color marks and deter-

mines the lateral and longitudinal register deviation in respect to the reference color (key color). Deviations from the target positions are recognized as register variation. The system then sends a command to the register adjustment system of the corresponding printing unit via an appropriate interface.

After register correction has been completed the color marks of all printing units are in their target positions.
