Multitec to launch two fully servo presses at Labelexpo India 2016

While VSI Servo S2 is based on the company’s Ecoflex VSi platform with a web width of 370mm and heavier frames, Ecosmart Servo is based on the Ecosmart platform.

 

On the new features of these presses, Amit Ahuja, managing director, Multitec said: ‘Both the presses have been provided with electronic pre-register to cut down on startup wastage. All controls on the print units are operated through HMI and there is an HMI at the end of press too. The designs of both the machine surroundings have been made much neater so that the end user's press room has space saving as well as cleaner surrounding around the press.’

 

VSi Servo S2 has two servo drives on each print station and it comes with an option of auto-register. Die units, in-feed and out-feed are also servo controlled. Other features include chill rolls, zero-break contact type matrix rewinder and all the other features borrowed from the Ecoflex VSi press. Additions to the list of options offered are the multi-layer label cross over unit and the new trickylabel matrix remover for extremely complicated matrix shapes. 

 

Ahuja commented: ‘The use of two servos per station reduces the mechanical parts even more and makes the lifespan of the machine greater as there is even lesser wear and tear. Another key point is that the impression roller is not chilled anymore. There is instead a separate chilled roller and this increases the dwell time for ink setting and results in higher gloss levels.’

 

Ecosmart Servo features servo drives on all print units, die units as well as in-feed and out-feed. This press is offered to customers who do not want to invest in a press with chill rolls and still want all the benefits of a full servo press.
