Recently at the “Welcome To The Future” event at press maker Omet's headquarters in Lecco Italy, the company officially presented its new iFLEX label press.
The iFLEX features the iLIGHT laser, what Omet says is the first application of lasers in flexography. It automatically finds the best alignment of the plate holder to speed up the changeover and register time and simplify printer work.
The iFLEX has a short web path of 1300 mm (51 inches), allowing for maximum material savings on each job. Moreover, iFLEX features the Direct Drive control system that increases the precision of each print. Another feature of the iFLEX is quick change diecutting. Here, it is possible to prepare the die cylinder offline on a trolley, meaning there is no need for lifting hoists.
Marco Calcagni, Omet’s sales and marketing director, comments, "The iFLEX fills a technology gap in today’s market as it is the ideal complement for small and large label converters with just-in-time deliveries that requires quick change and low waste capabilities, as well as the flexibility to print any job, no matter the volume, with a very high ROI.”
