The most advanced Heidelberg Speedmaster

After the first introduction of Speedmaster in Heidelberg for 20 years, the world's most popular B1 press is becoming a major addition to the new millennium. However, users of the early model of the B1 press, the Speedmaster CD 102, will initially feel a lot of improvements. The users of the Speedmaster 74 will have to wait until after Drupa has not applied the technology to a smaller version of the press. Technology updates are applied to the printer's control system and introduce additional peripherals to improve the quality control and yield of the B1 press. Improvements have little to do with the design of the 1970s. Printing equipment currently tends to use software, and most of the improvements in the B1 press also depend on it. It is as if the way to move a sheet of paper from one end of the press to the other is to approach its top. Therefore, through the method of operation and control standards, we can discover the special features of the machine without having to use mechanical functions such as pull gauge adjustment and automatic printing. The Millennium Speedmaster, also known as the CP 2000, has far exceeded this function in order to be able to compete with its rivals on the same level. Although Heidelberg cannot determine the possibilities for implementation and what will result, the end result is faster assembly of the press, higher automation and the ability to integrate into a broader production process. In some respects, the data operating system must also be similar to the software provided by SAP, and now Heidelberg uses SAP extensively in its newspaper printing operations. The connection provided by this control system allows Heidelberg designers to turn the machine into a truly open press. In the factory, KBA and Heidelberg sheetfed presses can share data on the network. However, web presses do not use an open system and it is still using another control system. The CP2000 control system displayed at Drupa this year is also not used on the small Speedmaster press. In the future, this direct link will allow any designated Heidelberger press to work. It can respond to any instruction within three hours. Unless under the Aolobe Postscript 3 RIPs, the CP2000 interface is not possible to connect to any browser, but its interface is still in compliance with the Internet protocol. Although this idea seems incredible in printing, it allows customers to track the entire process of product production. If a customer wants to do this, Heidelberg can provide advice on MIS. In terms of technological development, Heidelberg has also replaced non-contact moving cylinders on the 102CD model with non-contact moving cylinders to keep up with the developments. As the paper is conveyed between the two impression cylinders, Heidelberg offers the Venturi Air System to float the paper on an air cushion. This result is particularly imprinted on high-quality printers and trademark printing. In response to the needs of high-end markets, the patterned blanket cleaning system offers different levels of improvement in the cleaning process. In terms of inks, Heidelberg offers InkLine, a system software for ink level and application, just like the refurbished systems provided by a large number of suppliers. This system has not been verified on the machine. Moreover, software such as ColorFast can realistically show its next step in cutting preparation. For Heidelberg, ColorFast is an enhanced combination of machinery and software that ensures that the ink film thickness is correct before printing begins. The purpose is to minimize the number of waste sheets by adjusting the ink transfer time. Komori is similar to this product in that it sets the film thickness of the ink before printing starts. When needed, this system can quickly change the color-sensitivity of the training by adding ink to the ink roller. During the sudden stoppage of the reproduction operation, the system calculates the time loss and records the humidity system. When the machine is restarted, it can return to the original humidity. This idea will be applied to production as soon as possible. For those high-end printers, there is also a set of model rubber cleaning system. Exatroric DuoPlus - double-sided dusting system can help the paper stack dry to avoid wet surface paste. The improvement of the printing press essentially means improving the printing quality and stability. However, no one is willing to invest in new packaging improvements. CPC24 itself will cost about DM350,000. Under the premise of guaranteeing absolute stability between operation and printing, the price that can be given by packaging and label printing plants is such that they can download software for quality assurance. The early product CPC21 sold about 700 units and will continue to be sold at a lower price. This will be a direction for commercial printers in the future. At present, the accuracy of the CP2000 is confirmed on the B1 press. Once companies in the market have more experience, this year's Drupa will show the CP2000 equipped with the CP2000. One of the things about this complex system is that the user must be skilled enough to use it. If one does not have enough confidence to use the system, it will have the same consequences as a novice driving a high-powered sports car on the road. However, for those who have this ability, the result is the opposite. In June last year, slightly earlier than the software release, the first machine used these control systems. Even so, Heidelberg was confident that the CP2000 reproduction preparation would have a huge impact on automatic plate change. As a result of the improvement, the printing speed could be From 2500/h to 4000/h. In the role of CP2000, can be increased to 5500 / hour. Combining a CP2000 with the press to form a digital workflow is the biggest benefit. On the packaging process, Heidelberg demonstrated the CP2000 as the core content. The print job was input into the Delta RIP environment and thus transmitted the signal flow for the printing plate or film. Based on Adobe's TIF and PDF formats, Linotype-Hell's data signals can be easily converted. CIP3 will soon be adopted, and according to the user's requirements, there will be a great improvement in production preparation. Heidelberg claims that the system has been able to receive CIP3 data from Agfa, Barco and Purup systems without any problems. This format will include TIF format and can be more easily adapted to automation needs. This is the printing machine that Heidelberg designed for 20 years ago.
