Bobst is launching MW, a new CI flexo press range and 40SIX, an automated member of the Bobst SIX range at drupa 2016, which runs from May 31 to June 10 in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The two models of the new MW range have been developed to help flexible packaging manufacturers efficiently produce short and long runs respectively.
The 40SIX, available in several print widths, offers fully automated tool handling which speeds up makereadies and considerably reduces the need for manual handling.
“The MW press has a small footprint and excellent print quality, and is available in 850mm or 1250mm print widths,” says Harald Jasper, systems engineering director of CI Flexo Product Line.
“The MW lines are offered as a standard configuration with a limited number of options that correspond to the main requirements of users.”
“The 850mm wide MW 85F suits the markets’ need for a medium web-width press with reduced tooling costs and weights for producing short runs,” says Jens Torkel, MD of the CI Flexo Product Line.
“It has a double upper/lower guide for the print and anilox shaft, and it has the largest diameter anilox roller in its category.”
In the super-wide CI flexo format, the new 40SIX model, designed for print widths over 1450 mm and up to 2250 mm, delivers fast and automated job change-overs with safe and easy sleeve handling.
The 40SIX is equipped with smartChange a front ‘portal’ and 4-axis automation system removes the need for exchanging of anilox and print sleeve.
The unit has the first smartLock automated locking and unlocking system, which allows for the easy front-loading and unloading of sleeves.
