Bobst launches new Expert RS 6003 gravure press
On 17 September 2022 Bobst announced the launch of its Expert RS 6003 which it says is a new generation gravure printing printing that will enable gravure converters to tackle today'due south market challenges. A packaging market in a profound transformation with brand owners expecting faster time-to-market and more than sustainable solutions.
"Technology directed to bringing equipment and process performance ever a step forwards to the current marketplace and future requirements is always on the move at Bobst," explains Jonathan Giubilato, Gravure Product Line manager at Bobst Italia. "The flexible packaging market place demands increasingly short-run production, packaging versioning, lighter, thinner, recyclable solutions, global color consistency. And then we are prepare to support our converting customers with solutions delivering faster fourth dimension to market, increased quality, productivity, agility, and rubber. Gravure technology is of course no exception."
Flexibility and productivity are the words for the EXPERT RS 6003, which can attain the maximum speed of 500 meters a minute and be configured with either shaftless or shafted printing cylinders.
Configuration options extend to the inking system choice, to ensure the best quality output according to production requirements. The standard MPI (Multi-Purpose Inking) or the optional HSM (Loftier-Speed Metering) inking systems, both deliver consequent repeatable high-quality printing nether any conditions and with all ink and solvent types.
To make press make-gear up and job changeovers easier and faster, the company has devised a new, innovative organisation exclusive to the Practiced RS 6003 press. Flex Trolley is a service-type trolley that tin can either stay on lath during printing or be removed later the print unit has been set-up. This reduces considerably the minimum number of trolleys required for printing functioning and allows maximum flexibility for the changeover operations.
The drying organisation integrates many of the technical hallmarks of Bobst'due south drying engineering science that have been revisited to ensure the required drying efficiency with a shorter hood length. This solution shortens considerably the web length in the press with a consequent waste product decrease of about 30% at get-go-up and changeover compared to conventional drying chambers.
Bobst's OneECG-prepare gravure press
The printing handles loftier-speed printing with both solvent and h2o-based inks, and information technology is oneECG-ready. Bobst has pioneered the use of the Extended Color Gamut (ECG) in gravure with its oneECG solution, which is opening the doors of the digital world for gravure printing to step into a new way of keeping the pace up with today's market requirements.
The new printing is in line with its vision where connectivity, digitalization, automation, and sustainability are the cornerstones of packaging production, monitoring Apps and Bobst Connect are available for fully remote connectivity and support.
"With our latest developments in gravure we are reinventing the process and reviving the advantages of gravure in a way that gives a factual answer to the question whether gravure is capable of evolving in today's market place transformation to secure a future and sustainable growth to the users," commented Jonathan Giubilato, Product Line Director Gravure at Bobst Italia, "We have the tools in place – equipment, processes, digitalized workflows – that will alter the industry mindset about gravure and pave the way to a solid future for our gravure printing customers," he concludes.
