Narrow web Printing machines

04/24/2008 1:21 AM

I would be thankful if somebody could guide me working and control of Narrow web Printing machines by Electrical engineering like servo motor, controls , relays. I would be interested in PLC controlled machines

Question?

Are you shopping for narrow web offset lithography machines, like Diddee Glazers with an 11" web or more sophisticated stuff.

Are you talking about flexographic machines and the recent variations of such?

What is narrow web to you. What are you trying to deliver off the end?

Or if you are trying to refine a machine; which machine?

What are you trying to produce.

Both I and my brother, with many years of experience in printing, live here in Atlanta, where both new and used machines are available.

Do you need an agent or just information?

Are you an electronics technician? Are you a machinist? Why would you design and build such equipment when there is little doubt it can be bought straight off the shelf.

I am a mechanic and maintenance technician as well as a printer. I would never dream of designing and building such gear.

Which presses are you running, i.e., manufacturer, model numbers, and unit configuration?

I can help you by showing you where to find the equipment without having to invent the wheel. One advantage you have in the so-called developing countries, is that the wheel has already been invented and built and is waiting for you on a shelf, probably in the same establishment where the presses you are running were built.

Hello Vijaygr:

Trying to ascertain if you are a user of narrow web machinery.

In the USA, that term is usually used below an 18 inch wide machine.

I am assuming you are inquiring about an Offset Web Machine.

In the configuration you are asking about is the web traveling Horizontal or Vertical.

In the Offset Web Market, the hardest thing we do is "No Motion"

The functions we control are low in numbers, But the volume depending on the configuration could be high.

The control of the actual Printing Functions are strictly determined by the level of complexity in which you choose.

It is important to understand your goals and objectives, We could then better guide you on a direction.

For Example: How many Units you would like to control?

How many cutting or folding stations do you have?

How many Operator Stations?

Are you using any tension devices?

Automatic Splicers?

Automatic Web Guides?

Drying stations: Conventional Heatset? UV?

Motorized Color to Color Register?

Automatic Color to Color Register?

Automatic Cut-Off Control?

Web Break Detection?

Web Severers?

Remote Ink Key Setting?

Digital Preset of Ink Profiles?

Automatic Ink Levelers?

In Line finishing.

We have extensive experience in the web Offset Industry.

Newspaper and Commercial.

We are equipped to guide you in the purchase of your equipment.

If we can be of any assistance let us know.

presssolutions

We can forward more contact info if you send your email address.

I am new to printing technology . I want to update myself with PLC controlled machineries which are using Indramat drives and controls. Please help me to find website which could give me basic principle of narrow web with electronic contolled tension devices, with motor controlled web splicers of web, auto adjusting web guides and UV controlled dry stations with cooling devices and also automatic web break detection.

Please contact me at vijay.gujjar@gmail.com

vjay,

You are apparently a second inquirer as to narrow web insofar as the first one specified, when queried, he was interested in flexographic narrow web.

Nonetheless, you lay out a whole series of things you would like to know and state that you are a beginner.

I am an old printer, among other things, and I can tell you you will not get the information you need simply by asking for it here on the web, and if you did it would be useless to you. It would be useless because while print, no matter which technique, is based
on firm technological foundations, the practice of printing is as much an art as a technology.

My best advice is to get a job in a shop using the process you are interested in, flexo, photo-offset, gravure, etc., and become knowledgeable about the process in a physical way. At the same time hit the books and learn the chemistry, the inks, the mechanics both as to machine functions and as well the mechanics of, for instance, ink lay-down or transfer, paper, etc.
