W&H drupa 2012: A Very Good Show

The German machine manufacturer's show motto was “THE EASY WAY,” playing into developments of its “EASY” family of automation modules, which were demonstrated live daily on W&H's new MIRAFLEX CL 10 flexographic press. The wide-web press is capable of speeds of up to 600 m/min. The new modules, the EASY-SET HD impression setting system, which analyzes high resolution printing plates and presents the plate topography in a 3D format, as well as the latest generation of the well established TURBOCLEAN inking and wash-up system were designed to improve and optimize machine up-time. In addition, W&H presented the new HELIOSTAR SE gravure press, which incorporates a cylinder change system and auto wash-up for extremely fast changeovers, thus ideal for short runs.
