Bobst Group to show comprehensive solutions for plastic film at ArabPlast 2009

Fischer & Krecke will present the next generation 8- and 10-color flexo presses FP 14S and FP 16S with SMARTGPS (graphic positioning system). Before starting the machine, the exact impression and register data of all print sleeves is determined and written to a special RFID chip in the sleeve. All data is automatically transferred to the machine control system. When the press starts, all print units are in their correct register and impression position—without corrections required and without any material wastage. This represents a huge reduction in costs for the converter.
