Heidelberg Company Press Conference - 8-Shelf Format New Coating System in the Short Age

The CP2000 Center on-line post-processing technology for Heidelberg Speedmaster SM 52 four-color, five-color and six-color machines with high-quality coating systems Heidelberg has developed an optional coating system for the Speedmaster SM 52. The successful high-end eight-up format printer has sold 10,000 printing units. This new system can solve the glazing problem of full sheets and partial sheets. Its compact structure, in addition to the glazing unit, also includes an extendable high-stack delivery device, in addition to the Drystar 2000 combination dryer, water-cooled paper guides, and dusting devices. The glazing unit can be withdrawn 250 mm from its production position to the "parking position" during a non-glazing printing operation. This helps to protect sheets during sheet transfer and makes installation easier because the replacement of coating or gloss blankets is very simple. Highly Cost-Effective Approach to High-End Finished Short-Run Jobs The Speedmaster SM 52's glazing system is the most cost-effective device in its web portfolio for on-line finishing operations. It can ensure that medium-sized printers and industrial operators meet the ever-increasing demand for high-quality, short-run jobs with minimal time and expense. The company's president, Robert Lothnbach, has a SM52 with an automatic flip and glazing system at the Challenge Printing Company in Minnesota. “When doing short-run color printing, you need to print it. The 52 machine is the best you can find. Productive presses,” he added, “its water-containing properties seal the sheets, so we can deliver on-demand prints to customers’ hands at 15,000 sheets per hour without having to wait for ink. Drying." Optimum drying for fast post-printing The glazing unit with Heidelberg's twin-roll system, glazing blanket and lacquer tray, proven on the market, guarantees a uniform distribution of the varnish on the entire sheet. The speed of the fountain roller and the printing pressure of the metering roller on the glazing cylinder can be set via the CP2000 Center electronic printing control system. All components, including the Heidelberg Drystar 2000 Combined Drying System, are integrated in a high stacker, saving space. The drying system with a combination of infrared and infrared/hot gas dryers ensures optimum drying, thus enabling the highest speed print processing. CP2000 Center At the IPEX 98 exhibition, the CP2000 Center printing control system was first applied to a 70 x 100 cm format printer. Since the fourth quarter of 2000, it has become the standard configuration of all Speedmaster SM 52 four-color, five-color and six-color machines. . After drupa show, four-color and four-color printing presses can also be upgraded. Monochrome and two-color machines will continue to use the accepted CPTronic print control system. Technology for on-line post-processing The Heidelberg online post-processing technology for the Speedmaster SM 52 is also entering the new field of increasing processing speeds. Heidelberg, with the help of Schober Gmbh Tool Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering (Eberdingen), is working on the topic of online post-press processing for sheetfed offset presses. The goal is to integrate hole punching, cage punching, cutting and embossing into one single process and print job. Fig. 1: The Heidelberg Speedmaster SM 52 is now optionally equipped with a glazing system to finish the glazing of the high-quality partial and entire print area. This new glazing system is the most cost-effective device for online finishing of short runs. Figure 2: At the Drupa Show 2000, the smallest Speedmaster series - the Speedmaster SM 52 is also equipped with the CP2000 Center, the state-of-the-art central printing control system in the printing industry. The design with touch screen console is ergonomic and the interface is very friendly. For more information, please contact: Mr. Zhu Zhongyu, Heidelberg China Ltd.
