3.2.1

Ink system（patented technology）

l Inking system by enclosed chambered doctor blade system. The chamber is provided of inlet and outlet ports for the ink circulation. Side sealing system to close laterally the chamber

l The closed chamber doctor blade adopts a chamber design, and the knife holder can be easily separated from the main body, and the replacement of the blade is faster and lighter. (Proprietary support mechanism to ensure that the blade does not vibrate at high speed)

l There is a special pressure relief device in the chamber , which will not cause the blade to deform due to overpressure in the chamber

l The contact pressure between the scraper and the anilox roller is guaranteed by air pressure, and the pressure is adjusted by air pressure, and the wear of the blade can also ensure that the pressure remains unchanged. (Precision pressure regulation system can improve the service life of the blade and reduce the cost of use)

l Each color group contains an air pressure ink supply system, stainless steel ink barrel, equipped with double pumps, ink supply and cleaning scraper holder, ink pipe and mesh roller are more convenient and fast, can be combined with automatic cleaning system

l A stainless-steel ink tray, located under each printing unit, collects ink surplus during working and cleaning operations. The trays are mounted on quick release supports to facilitate replacement.

l Coating on the inner surface of the ink chamber doctor blade system is easy for cleaning

l Automatic ink supply device with magnetic filter function shall effectively extend the life of the anilox roller

l Automatic cleaning system.

3.2.2

Anilox roller

l Laser engraved ceramic anilox roller

l There are ink splash guards on both sides.

l The anilox roll will rotate to prevent the ink on its surface from drying and blocking holes on it when the machine stopped

l The anilox roller and support device are installed on the linear guide rail, and the printing pressure is adjusted by the servo motor driven  the high-precision ball screw with an accuracy of 0.002mm

l 6 High-precision anilox rollers (LPI decided by customer)

l High-speed pressure adaptive system

3.2.3

Plate cylinder

l Aluminum alloy-made plate cylinder

l On the machine operation and non-operation side, the plate cylinder and the support structure are stably supported by four upper and lower linear guide

l The plate cylinder and support device are installed on the linear guide rail, and the printing pressure is adjusted by the servo motor driven  the high-precision ball screw with an accuracy of 0.002mm

l Servo motor controls lateral movement of plate cylinders

l Printing cylinder 6 pieces

l High-speed pressure adaptive system

3.2.4

Printing adjustment and setting

l Automatic registration in the paper-feeding direction and accurate registration with servo motor in the horizontal direction.

l Register adjustment in the paper feeding direction can be adjusted at the printing unit and the main control console.

l The paper feed direction registration is adjusted by plate cylinder servo motor phase compensation, 360° adjustment. This operation is completed when the machine is registered

l Horizontal registration adjustment is realized at the printing unit and the main control console.

l Horizontal registration is realized by moving plate cylinder, and the maximum adjustment distance is +10mm.

l Printing pressure adjustment is precisely controlled by the ball screw and the servo motor with an accuracy of 0.002mm.

l When the machine is stopped, the anilox roller pressure is immediately released, and the supply of ink to the plate cylinder is stopped. The plate cylinder continues to run for a specified period of time and then depressurizes to ensure complete transfer of residual ink on the plate.

l The pressure is controlled by four servo motors of the printing station. The system ensures precise positioning of the printing station.

l Simultaneous pressure on and off can be achieved.

l Having pressure memory storage function, once adjusted, the pressure is directly in place for the same product

l Dynamic adjustment for pressure, especially at high speed, automatically compensate the pressure and reduce waste due to pressure problem

3.2.5

Anilox roller and plate cylinder auto positioning system

l The plate cylinder and anilox roller automatically adjust the position according to the repeat length. The position adjustment is performed by a high-precision ball screw and four servo motors, and the plate roller and the anilox roller are respectively controlled by two servo motors.

l The plate cylinders and anilox rollers of all selected printing stations are positioned at the same time

l Positioning is completed automatically, which is easy and convenient

3.3

Pre-register control

(patented technology)

l The paper does not move, and after the plate roller is installed, the printing plate is pre-registered

l The pre-registration system is used to minimize print registration errors prior to formal printing. The system guarantees a quick start of the machine and reduces material waste.

l The pre-registration action is automatically completed during the positioning process of the plate cylinders

3.4

Visual registration

(patented technology）

l Visual registration system independently developed by DongHang

l From the second printing section, each section is equipped with a camera and an industrial computer

l The registration of each section with the reference color can be corrected and adjusted in real time at the current section, which can shorten the registration time to the shortest and reduce paper waste

l It’s equivalent to install a small image inspection for each printing section. When manual correction is performed, the correction result can be seen immediately without waiting for the pattern to arrive at the final image inspection, which greatly saves paper.

l 1.5mm dot registration mark is enough, the mark can be placed in the blank of the pattern or in the shock-absorbing strip, without occupying space separately, and greatly reducing the waste of paper edges
