The Autotron™ Newspaper 2800 Register Guidance System is an integrated, flexible and cost-efficient tool for minimizing waste and improving print quality across newspaper applications.

Features

Autotron™ Scanning Head
• Fast makeready is driven by an easy-to-use graphic interface, an extensive job library, system presetting, and head prealignment.
• Automatically compensates for reel and speed changes, as well as blanket tack.
• Built-in diagnostics help ensure quick recovery from press problems.
• Compensates for ink build-up on scanning heads through signal optimization, reducing head cleaning and downtime.
• Windows®-based operating system makes the system network-capable.
• Select from two distinct product architectures – distributed or centralized – based on your need to interface with drives and your plans for future expansion.
• Optional data-logger and press performance analysis software can also be incorporated.

Benefits

• Your operators gain total control over color length and side register, as well as over folder length, print-to-web-edge register, and fan-out measurement.
• The system can be easily and cost-effectively expanded to accommodate future tower and folder additions.
• It also equips you to automatically perform high-precision, in-register pasting tasks to accommodate continuous production with minimal waste.
• Combines color-to-color register and cutoff control in a single system to eliminate redundant setup steps.
• Because it automatically controls a multitude of register variables, the Autotron™ Newspaper 2800 makes color-to-color register and cutoff quality practical in even the busiest pressrooms.
• To increase your color and print capacity without installing additional press units, Autotron™ Newspaper 2800 allows you to accurately inset preprinted color rolls into mono units running webs.
• Dramatic improvements in cut-off control are made possible by our ultra-compact scanning heads, developed specifically to fit into the space-constrained folder area of the press.
• It’s compatible with both conventional mechanically driven and shaftless presses utilizing either differential or compensator corrections.
• The Autotron™ Newspaper 2800 has a wide range of interfaces allowing control of compensators, circumferential motors, or a combination of both on just about any press type – including four-high towers, Y towers, two-high units, or CI units.
