Product Overview

The TF-G02-1000 1200 is a high-performance 2-color stack-type full servo flexographic press integrated with Siemens technology, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern printing production. Boasting a maximum material width of 1200mm and an industry-leading ±0.05mm registration accuracy, this press delivers exceptional print quality across an extensive 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 4 independent printing units with international-brand servo motors, a closed-chamber doctor blade system, and a centralized Siemens PLC control system, ensuring stable, efficient, and precise printing operations for diverse production scenarios.

Technical Principles & Core Components

At its core, the TF-G02-1000 1200 operates based on advanced stack-type flexographic technology, where 4 independent printing units are stacked sequentially to achieve high-precision multi-color registration. Each printing unit is equipped with independent international-brand servo motors that drive the plate and impression cylinders separately, ensuring precise control over each printing process. The closed-chamber doctor blade system plays a critical role in ink transfer: it features a precision CNC-machined alloy chamber with an anti-stick coating, which works with precision ceramic anilox rollers to ensure uniform ink transfer to photopolymer plates, laying the foundation for accurate substrate printing. The entire system is centrally managed by a Siemens PLC, which integrates high-precision photoelectric encoders to provide closed-loop control over tension and registration, maintaining stability throughout the printing process.
