Long Perfecting Presses for One-Pass Productivity - CutStar
Sheeter Makes Heidelberg Speedmaster SM 102 Even More
Cost-Effective
At Ipex 2002 in Birmingham, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be presenting two press configurations that will enable print shops to produce flexibly, cost-effectively and in top quality. These are the Speedmaster SM 74-10-P long perfecting press and the Speedmaster SM 102-12-P7-S with CutStar sheeter.
CutStar sheeter - the perfect addition
The newly developed CutStar from Heidelberg is ideal for the Speedmaster SM/CD 102 series. Conceived specifically for commercial printers with perfecting presses, the CutStar is an excellent investment, since the sheeter can be utilized to the full and can really show off its breathtaking economic benefits. The low price of the web material compared to sheeted goods offers users significant potential savings. Other cost-effective benefits of the CutStar include its ability to infinitely adjust to the minimum length of cut actually required and the increased net productivity made possible by the highly reliable sheet feed.
Long perfectors take hold
The long perfectors from Heidelberg are becoming increasingly popular in general commercial print shops that focus on industrial customers. The presses are integrated into the multi-stage production process via the CP2000 Center press control system and are operated centrally on the system's touchscreen. The high level of automation and the associated short setup times ensure maximum user friendliness and maximum productivity. The tried-and-tested Heidelberg perfecting technology, together with numerous innovations, forms the backbone of the long perfecting presses. Thanks to PerfectJackets from Heidelberg - specially coated, exchangeable jackets for the impression cylinders - both sides of the sheet are printed in the same high quality. Another advantage of PerfectJackets, in addition to their low-wear surface, is a reduction of long production cycles made possible by fewer washup operations. On the long perfectors, optimized sheet guide plates with Venturi nozzles also ensure that the printing stock is moved along contact-free on a cushion of air towards the delivery pile.
Visitors to Ipex will see the 50x70 centimeter Speedmaster SM 74-10-P, with fully automatic sheet reversing unit, print at a speed of up to 15,000 sheets per hour. This press is a logical progression of the One-Pass Productivity concept that started in 1997 with the eight-color Speedmaster SM 74-8-P. Heidelberg installed the first Speedmaster SM 74-10-P presses after drupa 2000. Since then, more than 110 eight-color and a dozen ten-color presses have been put into operation. These print shops make intensive use of the considerable time and cost savings made possible by producing 4/4 or 5/5 color prints in a single pass. A considerable number of the Speedmaster 74 eight-color presses also have a coating system with extended delivery, thus making them ultra-flexible in use.
The Speedmaster SM 102 is the high-end press for perfecting in the 70x100 format. Heidelberg offers this press in configurations with between eight and twelve printing units. This means that One-Pass Productivity is possible for up to 6/6 colors or 5/5 colors plus coating. To date, Heidelberg has shipped more than 660 presses with up to twelve printing units.
