Configurations
Manual
- Both loading and unloading are done manually.
Automated
- There are several automation configurations for materials up to 18 mm thick and with a maximum weight of 10 kg. The choice for a particular configuration will depend on your substrate usage requirements
¾ automation: laytable + unload robot
- The 3/4-automated operation mode enables printing of a large range of flexible materials using manual loading.
- The laytable is used to manually position up to four sheets ready for transfer to the vacuum table by the unload robot. For fully manual loading, the laytable can be unlocked and rolled back.
Autoloader + unload robot
- The autoloader can handle material from 0.1 mm (100µm)- which make handling of sheets/thin material possible-and up to 18mm thick and up to 10 kg in weight
- The autoloader matches the highest throughput speed of the printer > Up to four sheets can be positioned ready for transfer to the vacuum table by the unload robot.
- Ideal for handling B1 format sheets in 4-up mode, producing more than 1,000 sheets/hour
- Customizable setup
Loading & unloading robots
- Robots accurately load the substrate from a single stack to 1-, 2- or 3-up on the vacuum table and unload it to a pallet
- Automated end effectors, and optimised robot and printer synchronisation minimise job change-over time
- Customizable setup
Dual-flex: laytable for flexible loading + dual robots
- The Dual-Flex configuration combines a laytable with the dual-robot mode
- Customizable setup
