New Press Prints Commercial Jobs During Training
Gateshead (UK) NW Printers has its 18,000 sheets per hour MAN Roland R500 press up and running and already working a double-day shift.
Internal risk assessments at the Defence Geographic Centre had made management acutely aware of the considerable issues faced by staff with the manual handling of large format sheets, especially following a move from size 7 to size 7B sheets after the installation of a Roland 900XXL press, said the company.
The BASA system will mean that printed work can be delivered by pallet straight in to the automated loading system.
Sensors recognise the height of the printed stack and grippers automatically remove a pre-defined amount of paper to be fanned.
The fanned printed sheets are then jogged.
Once a load is ready for cutting the stack is automatically moved in to the rear-loading guillotine.
The latest Wohlenberg 185 Protec is part of the order, as the previous cutting equipment at the site was not able to accommodate the 7B sheet size.
The automatic positioning system on the guillotine will rotate the work to enable full trimming to take place without manual intervention, prior to automatic unloading.
The Replication Branch has opted for a multiple unload system, which utilises four separate pallets.
With work often printed with four jobs to view, the multiple unload system allows each separate job to be stored on a unique pallet, said MAN Roland.
The system will allow for better utilisation of staff.
Currently a two man operation, paper loading and unloading will be able to be performed by just one operation, freeing up time for other tasks.
