Koenig & Bauer unveiled a new high-performance sheetfed offset press for the medium format 740 × 1060mm – the Rapid 106 X.
The new Rapida 106 X series aims to lend performance a further boost to make companies even more profitable.
The Rapida 106 X incorporates a host of pioneering and precisely coordinated features. These range from simultaneous plate changing in less than a minute with unbent and process-free plates to a multitude of parallel makeready processes, and also includes autonomous printing of a whole sequence of jobs with automatic activation of the good-sheet counter (AutoRun).
The new PlateTronic plate logistics system can be incorporated into the new Rapida 106 X upon request. It has been designed as a modular system and exhibits the versatility to adapt to the requirements of each print company.
The Rapida 106 X reaches production speeds of up to 20,000 sheets per hour in perfecting mode.
QualiTronic ColorControl measures the ink densities in color bars on every single sheet. The system uses the measured values to calculate corrections to the ink settings every ten sheets.
In conjunction with the fast reaction by inking unit of the Rapida 106 X, jobs are brought into color in next to no time – the number of waste sheets at start-up and after production stoppages decreases tangibly: just 25 to 50 sheets, depending on the job and quality parameters.
