The SAMM Preprint is one of the top range semi-automatic flexo plate mounter equipment for the corrugated industry. The plate positioning is done by the machine instead of the operator, this results in high quality and consistent mounting.
BENEFITS OF AUTOMATIC MOUNTING WITH THE SAMM 2500 +
• Automatic mounting machine for corrugated preprint
• No mounting related press downtime
• Accuracy of the mounting is down to 5 microns
• Air bubble free mounting
• Highest standards in mounting repeatability, speed and consistency
| Manual Mounting | Semi-Automatic Mounting | Advantages |
|---|---|---|
Manual Mounting  2 traditional manual mounting machinesVS | Semi-Automatic Mounting  1 SAMM replaces 2 traditional mounting machines since it mounts twice as fast→ | Advantages Quick and spot on mounting, time and time again |
Manual Mounting  2 operators in the mounting department per shiftVS | Semi-Automatic Mounting  1 operator in the mounting department per shift→ | Advantages  €35,000 annual savings (based on average yearly expenses for an EU-employee) |
Manual Mounting  10 hours of mounting related press downtime (per week)VS | Semi-Automatic Mounting 0 hours of mounting related press downtime (per week)→ | Advantages € 160,000 annual savings (based on average downtime costs per hour for a preprint cylinder press) |
Specialized software developed by AV Flexologic can "recognize" the mounting marks on the printing plates, which are used as the references for the mounting process.
Read more ›The ability to measure the positions not only during mounting but also after plates have been mounted, provides endless possibilities to enhance a flexo printing production workflow.
To ensure highly accurate positioning, the vacuum system fixates the plate to the robotic table before positioning.
Driven by the AV Flexologic software, the robotic table positions the mounting plate with high accuracy, each and every time. After positioning the vertically moving cylinder automatically comes up.
The roller is used to apply the plates evenly over the carrier such as sleeve, cylinder or Mylar.
Read more ›The use of the pressure roller eliminates the typical "hand-rolling". The feature saves time and avoids un-ergonomic working procedures.
Using the latest technology in high - speed Ethernet cameras, AV Flexologic ensures crisp and sharp ultra-high resolution images, enabling an efficient and accurate mounting process.
For quick and easy job entry and job retrieval.
The camera images are used in a calibration procedure to create a lookup table to digitally ‘straighten’ any deviations in the camera beam, down to 10 μm over the entire width of the camera beam / sleeve.
The patented semi-automatic flexo plate mounter is equipped with an intelligent system that automatically monitors and controls the positioning of flexo plates. The SAMM 2500+ flexo plate mounter is designed around our two register marks system. This means the system utilizes a two camera system to aid in the accuracy of plate mounting while limiting the need for operator dependency.The only requirements of the operator are to place the flexo plate onto the mounting table and the machine will take care of the precision and mounting accuracy. This includes a pressure roller to get rid of air bubbles and any imperfections. This system is fast and reduces mistakes meaning your workflow is speed up and streamlined.
A SAMM Preprint customer: "We doubled our capacity in comparison with our conventional motorized mounter. With that, the training of our people has become extremely easy."
The SAMM 2500 replaces 2 manual mounting machines.
