Automatic Mounting System

SAMM 3.0

The new Automatic SAMM 3.0 is the world’s fastest and most accurate flexo plate mounter with unmatched repeatability and speed. SAMM 3.0 comes with a completely new mechanical, visual, and user interaction design. With SAMM 3.0 you can achieve high-quality plate mounting with minimal operator interaction, ensuring an accuracy of 5 microns and a rapid mounting speed of under 30 seconds per plate. 

  • Automatic & easy plate mounting
  • Eliminate mounting mistakes, reducing press downtime
  • Includes high safety standards
  • Almost operator independent
  • Highest accuracy, repeatability & speed (under 30 seconds per plate)
  • Software for enhanced print jobs efficiency

A detailed look at the automated workflow of the SAMM 3.0. The video illustrates the machine's process from start to finish, emphasizing its efficiency and precision.

Features

Backlight System

The third generation of SAMM features backlight technology for improved image recognition of mounting marks, offering optimal illumination for its ultra-high-definition monochrome cameras. The backlight system enhances plate positioning accuracy, increasing SAMM 3.0's precision and efficiency.

Patented Image Recognition System

The Image Recognition System checks the alignment of mounting marks to ensure the printing plate is correctly positioned on the sleeve

Robotic Plate Positioning

The machine automatically positions the flexo plate with extreme accuracy of 5 microns, using a robotic table and the patented Image Recognition

Automatic Ultra HD Cameras

Latest HD monochrome cameras with extended camera beam, which move automatically into the exact mounting position.

Automatic Pressure Roller

Ensures even mounting without any air inclusions. No operator interaction needed.

Vacuum Table

To ensure maximum accuracy, the vacuum system fixates the plate to the robotic table before positioning.

Easymount Software

The Easymount software allows easy job creation and storage in less than 1 minute. Using the cameras of the machine, the software recognizes the targets and measures the distance between them.

Quality report

The mounting marks are checked and a PDF is automatically created with the measurements of the Image Recognition.

High Safety Standards

The SAMM 3.0 comes with a slick design with high safety standards and an array of features that further simplify its usage

Vertically Moving Cylinder

It allows a fixed distance between the cameras and the plate, so no focusing of the lenses is needed. The cylinder also rotates automatically.

Options

Cutting Knife for Tapes

The cutting knife has a very precise adjustable depth which is regulated by the movement of the lift. The cutting knife is connected to the camera beam and you can easily slide it through the sleeve and cut the excess tape without damaging the sleeve.The cutting knife is also used for applying tape onto the sleeve and it is an optional feature to the Automatic SAMM and the Motorized MOM mounting machines.

Tape Holder 2.0

The newly enhanced Tape Holder 2.0 simplifies the application process with precision alignment and automated tension control, significantly boosting efficiency and consistency in tape application.The Tape Holder 2,0 also features an exchangeable shaft for versatile tape handling and a pneumatic up/down movement mechanism offering smooth, ergonomic adjustments that enhance operational comfort and efficiency.

TIR Sleeve Measurement System

The TIR system is designed to measure the '3d landscape' of sleeves and cylinders by using a laser to scan an adjustable grid pattern across and around the sleeve. With this information, it is possible to know the condition of every sleeve that you have in inventory, which helps save valuable time in your press department.It is also possible to build a database to help track the condition of your sleeve inventory over time.

Automatic EasyReg Detection

Using our patented image recognition system, a visual mark on the edge of a sleeve such as the W&H EasyReg strip can be automatically 'set to zero' on the MOM, SAMM, and FAMM mounting machines by simply pushing a button. The camera automatically homes in on the EasyReg mark and also automatically 'sets zero' in the X and Y direction with a 0.001mm (1µ)

Barcode and QR Code Scanner

A barcode/QR code scanner can be optionally added to the MOM; SAMM or FAMM for automatic loading of the jobs. The jobs are then usually made offline in prepress to optimize the machine Operation Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Special Mounting Adapters from Tech Sleeves

Tech Sleeves offers special adapters to 'bridge' the gap between a printing press mandrel and the inner diameter of the printing sleeve. Tech Sleeves adapters are made with high-quality materials, for long durability and resistance to chemicals, heat and the stresses faced in a printing press.
