2-Color Synchronous Belt Driven Stack-Type Printing Press（TF-B02-1000 1200）

Product Overview

The TF-B02-1000 1200 is a high-performance 2-color stack-type full servo flexographic press integrated with Siemens technology, designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern printing production. Boasting a maximum material width of 1200mm and an industry-leading ±0.05mm registration accuracy, this press delivers exceptional printing quality across an extensive range of substrates, including plastic films, various papers, aluminum foils, and non-woven fabrics. Built on advanced stack-type flexographic technology, it features 2 independent sequentially stacked printing units, each equipped with international-brand servo motors for precise control of plate and impression cylinders, ensuring high-precision multi-color registration for every print job.

Core Technical Principles

At the heart of the TF-B02-1000 1200 lies advanced stack-type flexographic technology, which arranges 2 printing units in a vertical stack to enable efficient multi-color printing. Each unit utilizes independent servo motors to drive the plate and impression cylinders, eliminating mechanical linkage errors and ensuring precise control over each printing stage. A closed-chamber doctor blade system works in tandem with precision ceramic anilox rollers to guarantee uniform ink transfer to photopolymer plates, ensuring consistent and accurate printing 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 closed-loop system provides real-time feedback, adjusting parameters dynamically to maintain stable tension and precise registration throughout the printing process, even at high production speeds.

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 level of precision meets the stringent requirements of high-end sectors such as food and pharmaceutical packaging, where even the smallest registration deviation can compromise product safety and brand image.
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 in the system, allowing for one-click recall of previous job settings. This functionality supports both individual and synchronized unit engagement/disengagement, streamlining production setup and reducing operational errors.
3. Closed-Chamber Doctor Blade System: The precision CNC-machined alloy chamber is coated with an anti-stick material, ensuring superior sealing to prevent ink leakage. The tool-free doctor blade design allows for one-step replacement, minimizing downtime during maintenance and significantly improving the cleanliness of the workshop environment by eliminating ink splatters and waste.
4. Anti-Clogging Anilox Roller Design: Equipped with an independent drive mechanism, the anilox roller rotates automatically whenever the machine stops or a printing unit is disengaged. This continuous rotation prevents ink from drying and clogging the roller's mesh, a common industry issue that can lead to printing defects and costly downtime. This design ensures consistent ink transfer quality and extends the service life of the anilox rollers.
5. Sleeve Quick-Change Structure: The press features a simple flip-and-load mechanism for rapid plate sleeve replacement, reducing changeover time by over 80% compared to traditional models. This is particularly beneficial for enterprises with short-to-medium run lengths and frequent job changes, as it minimizes production downtime and increases overall operational efficiency.
6. Full-Process Closed-Loop Tension Control: From unwind to rewind, the system provides automatic tension detection and compensation, preventing registration deviations caused by material stretching or slackening at high speeds. This ensures stable printing performance from startup to shutdown, reducing material waste and improving product yield.
7. Powerful Two-Stage Electric Drying System: The combination of main oven and inter-color drying configurations delivers high-temperature, high-velocity airflow, ensuring thorough ink drying during high-speed production. This eliminates issues with ink offsetting or buildup, ensuring crisp, smudge-free prints even on challenging substrates.
8. Intelligent Centralized Control System: A large-scale touchscreen interface allows for centralized management of all operational parameters, including job recipe storage and historical data tracking. This simplifies production changeovers, reduces the risk of human error, and provides valuable insights for optimizing production processes.
9. Deep Flexible Customization: While the standard web widths range from 1000–1200mm, the press can be customized to larger specifications, such as 1400mm or 1600mm, to meet the unique needs of clients requiring ultra-wide format printing for industrial packaging or specialized applications.
