Upgrade Your Flexo Press and Your Profits with the Servo 3000

Oct. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Upgrading a standard flexo press with a Servo 3000 easily attached press upgrade will result in cost savings on material and time. It will allow the press to bring in more income by doing a wider variety of jobs such as printing multilayer labels or doing finishing on digital press jobs. Adding the Servo 3000 to an existing press will allow the press to print more colors on a wider range of substrates at 0.0025 inch resolution at full press speed. A Servo 3000 assisted press can fix design errors because of its ability to precisely re-register the web for second pass printing. A printer can add the Servo 3000 to an existing press for a small fraction of what it will cost to purchase a new high end servo press.

A Servo System Follows the Press

The Servo 3000 Digital Infeed + Re-register system made by Rotary Technologies upgrades a flexo press in two basic ways. First, its servo system follows the press. This not only helps bring the job in register in one press length but helps maintain excellent resolution throughout the print run. With the Servo 3000 an operator will typically need to stop the press fewer times, or not at all, for adjustments. The press will experience less waste because of fewer stops and starts and less waste in general. Adding the Servo 3000 to a standard press will save time and money.

Because of the precise web tension control afforded by the Servo 3000 add-on a press can print on much finer substrates at full speed. This increases the number of jobs the press can do.

Re-registration Leads to Savings and Profits

The second upgrade feature of the Servo 3000 is its ability to precisely re-register the web from work done previously on the same or different presses. This feature leads to a number of benefits. A four color press can print eight or even twelve colors by re-running the very precisely re-registered job with different colors. If the designer calls and apologizes because he sent art work with the wrong bar code the press can re-run the job just to print the bar code correctly, and not lose an entire production run of substrate and time.

The re-registration feature of the Servo 3000 lets a press be used for finishing work from a digital press. Although a digital press can very efficiently do short runs of labels, for example, it needs another machine for laminating, die cutting, and stripping matrix. Rather than purchasing another machine for this job the printer can use a standard flexo press upgraded with the Servo 3000. Using an upgraded flexo press holds two benefits. First, the flexo press can be used for other work when not doing finishing for the digital press. Second, the upgraded flexo press can do finishing on extended content, multi layer labels which is a job that other “finishing machines” cannot do!

Upgrade Both Your Press and Your Profits with the Servo 3000

For substantially less cost than purchasing a new $500,000 to $1,000,000 servo press a printer can upgrade a standard flexo press with the Servo 3000 Digital Infeed + Re-register system made by Rotary Technologies. This easily attached add on will reliably save money by reducing material waste and wasted time on standard printing jobs. It will make the press more flexible allowing for a wider variety of jobs that may well pay better than current work. It eliminates the need for stand alone finishing machines that will need a dust cover when not finishing digital press jobs.
