Print More Colors with Your Flexo Press Using the Servo 3000

Sept. 21, 2010 - PRLog -- An easily added upgrade to a Flexo press, the Servo 3000, will allow the press to print more colors than you can now. Taking advantage of the precise re-registration available with the Servo 3000 a Flexo press can print double, triple, and even four times the number of colors it does normally. The Servo 3000 Digital Infeed + Re-register system made by Rotary Technologies precisely re-registers the web after first pass printing. It allows a press to take work done on the same, or other presses, and print subsequent passes, with different sets of colors at the print stations. The precise servo mechanism gives the press 0.0025” resolution at full press speed, printing each run of colors with this incredible precision.

The Servo 3000 Digital Infeed + Re-register system has a specially coated, servo driven pacing roller. It feeds material into the Flexo press while gripper wheels act as a nip. This combination provides positive traction and prevents any slippage. The servo mechanism receives and acts on an encoder signal from the press. Therefore it precisely follows the press at its high level of resolution.

The Servo 3000 extends the flexibility of your Flexo press and more. The Servo 3000 will typically improve registration on first pass printing and reduce material waste throughout the printing process. Because of its very precise web tension control the Servo 3000 allows a press to print on very thin films as well.

The precise re-registration provided by the Servo 3000 allows a Flexo press to be used to print multi layer labels, to do digital print finishing, and to re-register as well as taking material from another press for additions or corrections.

New high end presses can cost up to $1,000,000. For a mere fraction of this cost you can add the easily attached and portable Servo 3000 system to an existing Flexo press. Add the Servo 3000 and your press will print more colors, do a wider range of work, experience less material waste, and do it all for less.
