Dramatic waste reduction
If you’re looking for an efficient
and affordable way to achieve
comprehensive, high-performance
register control for publications
gravure presses, look no further.
The Autotron™ Gravure 2200
Register Guidance System is already
speeding makeready, startup,
and reel changes for gravure
printers around the world.
• Steam and dryer-control algorithms
are optimized to minimize energy
costs.
• Optional ribbon control reduces
waste copies, bleed-page problems,
and general print misalignment, as
well as both costly folder jams and
downtime – the latter, by ensuring
good ribbon-edge alignment from
the time the press starts to run.
• Patented ribbon-length head system
can automatically compensate for
misalignment using marks for fast,
hands-free registration … or using a
feature in normal print, to eliminate
the need for register marks and the
associated delays.
In a single system, the Autotron Gravure
2200 enables fully automatic and
comprehensive control over color, backup,
ribbon, and slit registration on any
gravure press, including the latest ultra-
wide web machines – as well as steam
and dryer-control capability, for superb
fit registration upon startup. The result is
minimized waste throughout the printing
process.
• Patented, high-speed electronic
mark recognition finds register marks
within a few revolutions of print first
appearing and starts controlling
registration immediately.
• A solid-state detector electronically
tracks the marks laterally without
the need for a motorized head and
without risking mark loss during
restarts and splices.
