Product Overview

The TF-B10-1000 1200 is a high-performance 10-color stack-type full servo flexographic press integrated with Siemens technology, designed to meet the demanding requirements of high-quality multi-color printing across a diverse range of substrates. With a maximum material width of 1200mm and an industry-leading ±0.05mm registration accuracy, this press delivers precise, consistent results for applications spanning flexible packaging, paper products, labels, non-woven fabrics, and more. Its advanced servo-driven system, closed-loop control mechanisms, and intelligent operational features make it an ideal solution for medium-to-large enterprises, high-precision sectors, and businesses requiring flexible, efficient production.

Core Technology & Operational Principle

Built on advanced stack-type flexographic technology, the TF-B10-1000 1200 utilizes 10 independent printing units stacked in sequence to achieve high-precision multi-color registration. Each unit is equipped with international-brand servo motors that independently drive the plate and impression cylinders, ensuring precise control over every printing action. A closed-chamber doctor blade system works in tandem with precision ceramic anilox rollers to ensure uniform ink transfer to photopolymer plates, resulting in sharp, clear prints on various substrates. The entire system is centrally managed by a Siemens PLC, which integrates high-precision photoelectric encoders for closed-loop tension and registration control. This combination of advanced hardware and intelligent control ensures stable, accurate printing even at high speeds, with minimal waste and maximum efficiency.

Core Competitive 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 ensures the press meets the strict registration requirements of high-end sectors such as food and pharmaceutical packaging, where even minimal deviations can compromise product quality and compliance.
2. Fully Automatic Intelligent Impression Control: Each printing unit features a synchronized four-servo motor closed-loop linkage system, enabling automatic pressure detection and correction. Operational parameters are permanently stored for one-click recall, supporting both individual and synchronized unit engagement/disengagement to streamline production setup and reduce human error.
3. Closed-Chamber Doctor Blade System: The precision CNC-machined alloy chamber is coated with an anti-stick finish, and the tool-free doctor blade design allows for one-step replacement. This system provides superior sealing to eliminate ink leakage, significantly improving the workshop environment and reducing ink waste.
4. Anti-Clogging Anilox Roller Design: Equipped with an independent drive mechanism, the anilox roller rotates automatically during machine stops or unit disengagement. This prevents ink from drying and clogging the roller mesh, a common industry issue that can cause print defects and increase maintenance costs.
5. Sleeve Quick-Change Structure: The simple flip-and-load mechanism enables rapid plate sleeve replacement, reducing changeover time by over 80% compared to traditional models. This is particularly beneficial for businesses with short-to-medium run lengths and frequent job changes.
6. Full-Process Closed-Loop Tension Control: Automatic tension detection and compensation from unwind to rewind prevent registration deviations caused by material stretching or slackening at high speeds. This ensures stable printing from startup to shutdown, minimizing material waste and improving production consistency.
7. Powerful Two-Stage Electric Drying System: Combining main oven and inter-color drying configurations, the high-temperature, high-velocity airflow ensures thorough ink drying during high-speed production. This eliminates issues with ink offsetting or buildup, even when printing on absorbent or non-absorbent substrates.
8. Intelligent Centralized Control System: A large-scale touchscreen provides centralized management of all operational parameters, with job recipe storage and historical data tracking. This streamlines production changeovers, reduces setup time, and ensures consistent results across repeat jobs.
9. Deep Flexible Customization: Standard web widths of 1000–1200mm can be expanded to larger specifications such as 1400mm or 1600mm as required, allowing the press to adapt to a wide range of production needs and market demands.
