Focus Label Machinery will show the Reflex range of digital print finishing systems at Labelexpo Europe 2023. Focus is an accredited industrial print partner of Konica Minolta. The AccurioLabel 230 press will be demonstrated on the Konica Minolta stand C21/C22 in Hall 8 adjacent to the Focus stand. Flexible Packaging Printing Machine
For pre-printed digital printed web, the Reflex 330 digital finishing system provides a comprehensive off-line finishing technology. Focus will demonstrate the accuracy of its re-register system - even at speeds of over 100 meters per minute. New product includes option for semi-rotary or full rotary converting system in roll-to-roll or roll-to-sheet formats.
The d-Flex digital inkjet press incorporates the latest HiQ 1800 DPI high-speed full-color (CMYK + White) Konica Minolta inkjet technology, which has been integrated into the existing Reflex servo press with in-line UV or LED flexo print head, die-cutting, slitting and rewinding. Visitors will be able to see high quality variable images, overprinted in perfect register with UV flexo ink, then converted and rewound – in a single pass with speeds up to 60 meters per minute.
The latest e-Flex model with automated pre-register functions is equipped with compact LED UV curing systems from Phoseon. The Twin-Servo system provides single touch set ups for conventional printing and can be combined with a digital module for variable data, text and images. The touchscreen HMI operator controls, a fully programmable digital platform, plus storage of job details for future retrieval.
The e-Flex incorporates top-loading print cylinders and quick-change print cartridges to reduce downtime and set-up wastage. A choice of interstation drying systems enables much high press speeds. The short web-path allows for a compact design and space for optional equipment. Infra-red/UV/LED drying with chill-rolls is available, as well as rail-mounted delam/relam, rotary cold foil transfer, silk screen, turn-bar, sheet conveyor and enclosed/chambered ink cartridges.
The Proflex SE is a full servo driven, modular press available with print widths of 250mm and 330mm. Several different drying systems are available, including full UV, LED, Infra-Red – or combination drying systems, with optional chill rolls for heat sensitive substrates.
The open architecture design of the print stations enables loading of ink cartridges and print cylinders, whilst interchangeable print cartridges can be partially or fully unloaded and exchanged. Bearer rings are incorporated into the print cylinder assembly.
Print cartridge assemblies can be cleaned off press.
As well as flexo print heads, there is also a facility to accommodate a full color or single color digital inkjet system, for short run and variable data requirements.
The new Proflex SE benefits from touch screen HMI operator interface panels, servo assisted control for all press operations, fully programmable digital platforms, plus storage of job information for future reference. The operator can control all aspects of press operation, from any of the HMI touch screen control panels and can store job information for future retrieval on repeat orders. Print modules incorporate Digital Drive technology, reducing mechanical register errors and providing control over a wide range of substrates.
Optional automatic print register control can be integrated into the servo press, to assist with print registration on difficult substrates. Also, the modular design of the system means that future addition of extra print heads and other optional equipment, including digital print engines is facilitated.
In addition, a rail system can be mounted along the top of the press, to allow optional overhead press equipment to be easily transported to the required position. Options such as turn-bar, delam-relam, cold foil, laminating, waste rewind turret and scanner systems – can all be rail-mounted.
Heavy duty, servo driven die cutting units with removable anvils are provided for converting a range of substrates from film to 300gsm board.
A non-servo model, Proflex E with the same open architecture print head design is also available.
