The new UV coater from Koenig & Bauer offers production speeds of up to 60,000rph, high automation, simple and self-explanatory operation, the stability of a printing unit, automatic cleaning at the push of a button and anilox roller change within a few minutes. Whether for the full-solid finishing of covers or as spot coating for the partial finishing of printed images, the coating unit is already being used very successfully by customers. A compact UV dryer is integrated into the superstructure after the coating unit to enable the widest possible range of paper substrates to be processed. The UV coater processes substrates with a grammage of between 60g/m² - 250g/m² (38 – 160lbs). Between 2 and 5g/m² of coating is applied depending on the anilox roller.
“We are in constant communication with our customers. On the one hand, we develop new products with our partners, and on the other hand we are proactively represented on the market with new innovations,” said Stefan Segger, sales director Digital & Web Solutions.
Intelligent, patented copy control in the quarter fold makes for a trouble-free folding sequence. Production conditions are therefore always consistent irrespective of operator skill. Copies are slowed effectively and with a minimum of abrasion, and aligned in the direction of fold during deceleration. The automatic copy control system is self-adjusting and exceptionally reliable regardless of production speed and copy thickness. As a result, folding is consistently accurate, even during changes in press speed.
“We continue to be very successful in the market and expect investments to be made this year. Our presses are known for their quality. With our know-how, we have worked on many new developments for our commercial presses,” Segger said.
The microporous patented turner bars are one of the many proven features that are unique to Koenig & Bauer. They no longer need to be set for different ribbon widths, and operate reliably with a minimal air cushion and superior ribbon guides. A modular design and dedicated drives throughout allow the superstructure to be customized for specific production scenarios. The short and stable web lead allows a more even web tension.
