Sheet Feeder

Komfi single action feeding head. Precise feeding in combination of separator suckers and forwarder suckers. Stacking height: 480 cm.

Sheet Registration by Cameras

The registration works with optical cameras detecting printed registration marks during the run of the machine. The measuring is „on the fly “for each single sheet. No need to stop the process during operation.

Mechanical Sheet Alignment

After separating and feeding, the sheets are pre-aligned via ball-conveyor, in order to reach the cameras at the reading and registering area.  According to the paper characteristics, there are different balls available.

Sheet Transport

Precise sheet transport under the printing unit thanks to a patented solution of vacuum conveyor, consisting of absolutely dimensionally stable circulating metal plates. These ball-bearing elements are driven by a central shaft, ensuring precise transport and accurate print, both in forward and backward movement.

Printing Unit

The new printing unit of the machine consists of a solid print-head-bracket which is movable in 3 axes. This enables an automatic adjustment to the height of the print substrate. Real 3-D-effects are achievable by multi-pass function, printing forward and backwards. An integrated circulation system with degas unit avoids bubbles in the UV system and Printing heads.

UV curing station

The movable UV-Dryer cures the varnish directly after the printing heads (immediate fixing of fine lines and reliefs) or at the end of the output (to give the varnish time to spread). The curing unit enables fixing between print cycles, therefore haptic 3-D-effects can be achieved.  

Parking & cleaning section

Cleaning has two cycles. By choice, an automatic mode and manual mode is available.  The printing heads are moved to a comfortably accessible position for the operator. 

Machine control / software

The machine is operated by software. Step-by-Step support enables easy and quick setup.

Varnish-consumption can be calculated in advance for better pre calculation. An optional QR code reader enables processing variable data.

Varnish

With only one type of varnish, the KOMFI-System can cover all applications, being 2D or 3D, glossy or matt, or relief. The supply tank volume is adequate. No need for change and subsequently no need for cleaning.    

Sheet delivery

Delivery is affected by a tray with magnetic angles, which are easily adopted to the format.

Optionally, a jogging table or an automatic stacker (for pallets) with side joggers are available.

Additional feeding desk for Junior 36.

The additional feeding desk extends the area for manual sheet feeding in the Junior 36 machine and improves operator’s comfort.

Plexi magazine for feeding for Junior 36

The auxiliary plexi glass magazine for Junior 36 machine is a small laying away table installed directly to the machine feeder. This auxiliary unit is suitable for the customers who process jobs with repeating processing parameters (sheet size, paper weight, etc.) on the machine. White or other initiating sheets are stored in the magazine and used by the operator for job start and end so as to achieve 100% job processing without any wasted sheet.

Film roll perforator

Additional perforator is positioned directly on the reel. It is used in case of thick foils for more reliable separation of sheets and also in specific cases when the standard method of film cutting before separation cannot be used. 

On-roll film slitter

Additional film slitter is positioned directly on the reel. It is utilized if a film of the required width is not available. The on-roll film slitter is to be positioned in such position where it trims film directly in the reel to the required size. Use of the slitter unit may affect the speed of job processing (in the same way like e.g. paper weight); actual laminating is usually carried out at a lower speed.

On-roll film slitter Amiga 52 Tandem Double

Additional film slitter is positioned directly on the reel. It is utilized if a film of the required width is not available. The on-roll film slitter is to be positioned in such position where it trims film directly in the reel to the required size. Use of the slitter unit may affect the speed of job processing (in the same way like e.g. paper weight); actual laminating is usually carried out at a lower speed.

Polyurethane coated pressure roll

The pressure roll with polyurethane surface has higher surface hardness (90 shore) and longer service life. It is suitable in particular for processing of a higher number of jobs with sheets of a higher paper weight – the roll is more resistant to wear. Actual colour may vary from shown picture.

Teflon coated pressure roll

Bottom pressure roll made of a non-adhering material is suitable for processing digitally printed materials. Thanks to its surface properties, it avoids unpleasant situations with sheet sticking on the roll and contributes to easier machine maintenance. The teflon pressure roll is installed at final machine assembly instead of a rubber pressure roll as a standard.

Universal pallet positioning kit

This option is to make the pallet driving in the feeder easier for an operator. Laser marker is drawing a line to be followed by operator in order to spot pallet into a right position. Side piling guide on operator side was re-designed to simplify the pile precise positioning. An option for the Sagitta 76 model only.

Air Shaft

The air shaft is intended for replacement of a standard film unwinding shaft and makes replacement of film rolls very fast and easy.

Embossing modification

Structured lamination (embossing) system in a form of separately supplied embossing rolls is available for the Amiga 52 Tandem Embossing machine. The required design of the laminated sheets is achieved by replacement of the smooth laminating roll by the embossing roll. Embossing takes place together with laminating in this way.

Vibrating knives

The vibration cutting knives represent an option for the system for sheet separation on the Delta 52 machine. Delta 52 machine is equipped only with the built-in perforator in the basic configuration; the vibration knives represent an auxiliary unit of the system for more reliable film slitting between sheets suitable in particular for high speed laminating.

Hot knife

The hot knife is used for separation of sheets in the cases when the standard process cannot be used. The hot knife is heated electrically and sheet separation takes place only after knife pressing by rotational movement of the unit against laminating film. The hot knife assembly includes an ultrasound detector which monitors sheet overlap and if overlap is indicated, a signal to the knife for separation is sent.

Automatic skew wheel

The skew wheel (roller) is a unit installed in the end of the machine behind the snapping rolls which create a wave on the sheet being laminated through roller turning and roller thrust force. Wave creating on the sheet makes separation easier for the snapping rolls.

Auto Pilot System

The machine is equipped with lamina capacity detection on the unwinding coil. The machine is equipped with the detection of actual sheet stock in feeder.

External OTF Module (OTF = Over Toner Foiling)

“Toner Foiling” is a solution for application of film which creates special effects (glossy, colourful or metallic areas) on the digitally printed sheet. The standard laminator is provided also with a winding up unit, a separation bar and a support sheet metal. The substrate film with surface sensitive with respect to toner passes through the machine in the same way as at standard lamination. The surface layer of the film adheres to the sheet areas printed with toner while white (i.e. unprinted) areas remain without effect in case of contact of the film with the processed substrate. The transfer film is wound up on a shaft at process completing.

Antistatic bar

The antistatic bar is a device which discharges static electricity created at friction between the laminated sheet and machine parts. This measure prevents in problems with sheet winding up on snapping roll and in potential damage of the machine. The bar is installed on the separator directly above snapping roll.

Air Ionizer

The antistatic bar is a device which discharges static electricity created at friction between the laminated sheet and machine parts. This measure prevents in problems with sheet winding up on snapping roll and in potential damage of the machine. The bar is installed on the separator directly above snapping roll.

Jogger

The jogging table is type of the unloading table which is fitted with a vibration motor and ensures better sheet stacking on the table in this way. The jogger is produced in sizes for both B2 and B1 sheets and is available for various machine models either in basic configuration or as an option instead of the fixed delivery desk.

Automatic stacker (stacking onto pallet)

We offer the automatic sheet stacker in B1 and B2 size. It is a separate unit which is to be positioned behind the laminator instead of the delivery desk. The machines are ready for the sheet unloading in stacker variant so that they are fitted with a sheet separation detector; i.e. if sheet is not separated, the machine is slowed down and consequently stopped in order to avoid in sheet damage.

Film roll lift

The film roll lift is a simple lifting mechanism for easy film reel replacement in the machine. Replacement of even large film reels can be handled only by one person without problems.

Additional blowers

Additional blowers, which are installed directly on the loading head, help the reliable loading of individual sheets, especially of digitally printed materials. These blowers use compressed air from a central distribution circuit, are equipped with their own valves that allow the operator to control the amount of air, and also have a solenoid valve that determines when the blowers should activate.

Preventive maintenance spare parts kit

A set of the most frequently used parts and parts that are technologically demanding for production, which are offered at a reduced price. This package can only be purchased together with a new machine.

Blowers for separating long sheet formats

Long-format sheet separation blowers, located on both sides of the stack (both from the control panel and from the operator side), help separate individual sheets from the stack during head loading. Blowers are fed from a vacuum pump and are continuously in operation. The air supply to the opening and closing of these blowers can be controlled by the operator using a ball valve. This option is suitable for loading sheets of the maximum size in high-speed operation.
