WEB & SHEET STUDIES IN COATING/LAMINATING

Instead, Heidelberg presses and coaters employ the company's own AirTransfer system for the movement of sheet through the production line. Each sheet is guided contact-free through the press, drawn by suction and borne on air cushions. The requisite blast air is supplied by axial fans located directly on the back of the sheet guide plates. The entire mechanism is controlled by the CP2000 Center, and therefore can be automatically activated when a stock thickness less than 0.3 mm is entered.
