The SAMM Preprint is a semi-automatic flexo plate mounter for the corrugated pre-print industry. The machine places the plate accurately(5 μm) providing high quality and consistent mounting.
1 Image Recognition
The position of the mounting marks is measured and the plate is placed accurately (5μm) based on that.
2 Vacuum table
To ensure maximum accuracy, the vacuum system fixates the plate to the robotic table before positioning
3 Pressure roller
Ensures mounting with equal pressure and without air inclusion
4 HD Ethernet cameras
Ultra high definition cameras moving to the exact position of the mounting marks.
5 Touchscreen
The machine is equipped with 2 touchscreens for easily creating, selecting and storing jobs.
6 Laser pointers
Indicators of where the mounting marks are located for placing easily the plates.
7 Overlay System (patented)
Once the first plate is on the right position, a snapshot can be taken and used semi-transparently for the next plates.
8 Digital calibration of camera beam
The camera images are used in a calibration procedure to create a lookup table to digitally ‘straighten’ any deviations in the camera beam, down to 10 μm over the entire width of the camera beam/sleeve
