6-Color Synchronous Belt Driven Stack-Type Printing Press（TF-B06-1000 1200）

Product Overview

The TF-B06-1000 1200 is a high-performance 6-color stack-type full servo flexographic press integrated with Siemens technology, designed to meet the demanding printing needs of diverse industries. Boasting a maximum material width of 1200mm and an industry-leading ±0.05mm registration accuracy, this press delivers exceptional printing quality across a vast range of substrates, including plastic films, various papers, aluminum foils, composite films, and non-woven fabrics. Built on advanced stack-type flexographic technology, it features 6 independent printing units stacked sequentially, each powered by international-brand servo motors to drive plate and impression cylinders, ensuring precise multi-color registration. With a design speed of 150 m/min and actual production speeds ranging from 30–130 m/min, depending on substrate and design complexity, it offers both efficiency and flexibility for high-volume, multi-variety production environments.

Core Technical Configuration

At the heart of the TF-B06-1000 1200 is a Siemens PLC centralized control system, which integrates high-precision photoelectric encoders for closed-loop tension and registration control, ensuring stable and accurate operation throughout the printing process. Each printing unit is equipped with a closed-chamber doctor blade system, featuring a precision CNC-machined alloy chamber with an anti-stick coating, and a tool-free doctor blade design that allows for one-step replacement. This system ensures uniform ink transfer from precision ceramic anilox rollers to photopolymer plates, eliminating ink leakage and improving the workshop environment. The anilox rollers support a full range of 100–1200 lines per inch with micron-level precision, and an independent drive mechanism enables them to rotate automatically during machine stops or disengagement, fundamentally solving the industry-common issue of ink drying and clogging the mesh. A dual-stage electric heating drying system, including main oven and inter-color drying configurations, uses high-temperature, high-velocity airflow to ensure thorough ink drying at high speeds, preventing ink offsetting or buildup.

Key Performance Advantages

1. Industry-Leading ±0.05mm Registration Accuracy: Both horizontal and vertical registration are driven by independent motors and precision ball screws, paired with real-time closed-loop feedback from photoelectric rotary encoders. This meets the strict registration requirements of high-end sectors such as food and pharmaceutical packaging, ensuring sharp, consistent multi-color prints.
2. Fully Automatic Intelligent Impression Control: Each unit features a synchronized four-servo motor closed-loop linkage, enabling automatic pressure detection and correction. Operational parameters are permanently stored for one-click recall, supporting both individual and synchronized unit engagement/disengagement, simplifying operation and reducing human error.
