High-Tech Hero

Vargus estimates that another valuable feature, drop-in plate capture, saves Rotocolor three minutes of makeready time per station, resulting in a 24-minute savings for a typical 8-color job. The cylinder is simply locked down, dropped into the press, and set to position.

Vargus and Close also champion the incorporation of servo technology on the LP3000’s infeed and exit systems. The closed-loop, servo-driven infeed and exit with transducer feedback maintain constant tension throughout the press, providing faster recovery during acceleration and less waste. This allows the system to adapt to different converting, laminating, and folding applications without the need to change or modify the exit pacing roll.
