Tectonic International will be showing its new flexographic plate mounting machines, the V5 MP at Drupa 2004.

Part of the V5 range and designed to mount plates from more than one make and model printing press, its patented design moves away from the traditional method of mounting a plate from the front of the machine.

It includes a semi-rotating plate-bed which, situated behind the cylinder, accepts the plate providing hands-free management of the plate before and during registration.

Sitting on the plate-table, the plate is pulled forward until the register marks are under the cameras.

When in position, a pneumatically operated bar holds the plate gently in position allowing fine alignment through rotation of the plate-bed using adjusting wheels located on either side of the plate-bed.
