evolution: top performance solutions

Monday 22. September 2008 - WIFAG has expanded its product portfolio of newspaper printing presses to better meet customer demand for greater productivity, flexibility and semi-commercial capabilities.

Thus WIFAG is offering top performance printing units in design sizes 4/2, 6/2 and 4/1. Besides printing units with a blanket-to-blanket construction, 9-cylinder satellites are also available. The product family includes autopasters with up to 1.50 m roll diameters as well as 2:5:5 and 2:7:7 folders.
Systems for semi-automatic plate changes have already been tried and proven in practice and make it possible to reduce makeready work. New systems for fully automatic plate changes are now being installed on the first customer systems. WIFAG has developed largely automated solutions for variable web widths. To meet semi-commercial requirements, WIFAG offers configurations with UV dryers or heat-set gas dryers.
Optimized sequences for startup and production changeover boost productivity while reducing waste. Image-data-based control systems for color registers and cutting-off contribute to uniform printing quality and lessen the workload. WIFAG is currently delivering the first fanout control functions based on image data to customers. Remote maintenance functions facilitate the maintenance and service of WIFAG printing presses.
