Komori Presses Win Emission Testing Approval
Komori has been awarded three BG CE Emission Tested certificates by The Berufsgenossenschaft Druck und Papierverarbeitung at Drupa 2008.
Recently we have installed several duplex and tandem 16-page webs to provide the option of 32-page output.
Now, for those printers whose work profile demands higher pagination but short to medium run lengths we have introduced the System 38/32-page press, which provides the same characteristics of low waste and fast job changeover as the highly successful 16-page press." The latest range of Komori 32-page web presses has proved to be highly successful with the Japanese cut-off of 1,092mm, he added.
The latest System 38S is capable of printing 60,000 impressions per hour (iph) and incorporates a new folder - the DC38 with double chopper, designed for both 16-page and 32-page web offset presses.
As part of Komori's JDF demonstrations at Drupa, the complete web system will be set via JDF data transfer.
New features on the press include KHS-AI, Komori's advanced intelligence facility, which has self-learning software that further reduces job changeover time, costs and workload, claimed the company.
The KHS-AI software automatically compensates for changes to printing parameters, such as alterations to stock, ink or ambient temperature.
Komori has also introduced 'smart sequence mode' which enables multiple plate changes to be pre set in advance according to run lengths.
That is said to be particularly beneficial to customers who wish to make logo or addition changes in either solid or processed colours.
That means a complete job-to-job changeover utilising 'quick plate change mode' can be achieved in less than four minutes and less than 550 copies waste.
The higher printing speed of the System 38S, and the availability of a 32-page version, expands the type of work that can effectively be produced on Komori presses at the higher end of the spectrum, believes the press manufacturer.
At the same time, the shorter make-ready times and reduced material wastage enable the System 38S to compete favourably with the larger runs normally associated with sheet-fed.
