Automatic SAMM Postprint for precise & consistent corrugated plate mounting
The Automatic SAMM Postprint is the most advanced corrugated mounting machine for mounting flexo plates onto mylars. The machine mounts and proofs the flexo plates with extreme accuracy and consistency thanks to its unique robotic plate positioning.
- Eliminates mounting related press downtime
- Guarantee of high-quality mounting
- Automatic positioning of plates
- Optional features for an optimal plate mounting and proofing
SAMM Postprint Features
1
Image Recognition software
A patented software that measures the exact position of the mounting marks before and after mounting. The measurements are used to position the plate accurately.
2
One size fits all cylinder
The software automatically calculates any distortion which is then digitally compensated. This one mounting drum is thus suitable for all presses.
3
Robotic positioning
The plate is positioned extremely accurately using the Image Recognition and the vacuum table which fixates the plate in the correct position.
4
Proofing cylinder
After mounting the proofing cylinder is automatically brought to the correct position for pulling a proof.
5
Pressure roller
Ensures mounting with equal pressure and without air inclusions
6
Automatic HD cameras
Ultra-high-resolution cameras that move automatically into position. Given the coordinates of the mounting marks, the cameras move to the precise mounting position.
7
Laser pointers
Indicators of where the mounting marks are located for placing easily the plates.
8
Quality report
The mounting marks are checked and a PDF is automatically created with the measurements of the Image Recognition.

Options
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).
Mylar automatic drawing pen
This pen is used to draw automatically the outline of the corrugated printed package on the mylar where the plate is going to be mounted. The operator mounts the first plate and conducts proofing of the mounting marks. After this, using the drawn lines of the automatic pen as a reference, the operator mounts the next plates at the correct position, using mirror mounting.
Esko/Hybrid software
Both Esko and Hybrid offers software for patching corrugated plates. The intelligent system offers an efficient layout of plate patches for plate making including the registration marks. All the information about the plates and their coordinates can be transferred directly to the corrugated mounting machine.
Proof paper automatic drawing pen
The proof paper pen draws automatically the outline of the printed package on the proofing paper. After proofing the mounting marks of the corrugated plates, the operator will be able to see whether the plate is mounted accurately and if it will be printed at the desired position on the package.
Mylar centering pin
This is a centering pin that makes the alignment of the carrier sheet/mylar very easy and consistent to the zero position of the machine.
Tape holder
Taping the mylar is a necessary step before starting mounting/proofing. The tape holders provide easy access to tape and save time and effort from cutting pieces of tape every time before proofing.

Success Stories
Carminati & Guizzardi
“The machine is faster than the others we have here and it came with a plug-in for Esko’s Plate Patcher solution, which we had never used before. AV Flexologic provided training on how to use the mounter, but the machine itself is very user-friendly. We have gotten many improvements within the mounting process and are very proud of our purchase.” Luigi Volpi, Quality and R&D Manager
EC Shaw
E.C. Shaw Company decided to invest into the corrugated market and modernize the entire mounting process. The company was seeking an innovative solution, which will enable them to exceed their customer’s expectations and boost efficiency. For that reason, AV Flexologic provided E.C. Shaw Company the automatic SAMM PostPrint 3500 for the corrugated industry. The machine saves money, time and reduces press downtime.
