PADERNO, DUGNANO, Italy—CAMIS SrL is pleased to announce the new CAMIS SleeveMaster Auto (SMA), CAMIS’ response to the requirement for a “hands-free” automatic flexographic plate mounting solution for mid to wide web flexographic printers.
“Built around CAMIS’s flexo Industry 4.0 platform, the SMA continues on our quest of achieving maximum process and machine reliability as witnessed by all our clients with over many hundred CAMIS Irisleeve installations all over the world,” said Davide Pesenti, CAMIS managing director.
The CAMIS SMA is designed to be as simple and easy to use as the CAMIS Irisleeve HD, but provides the technological progress that some in the industry now demand.
A brand new HMI touchscreen with CAMIS Flexo 4.0 facility allows new and existing jobs to be either uploaded or preselected. Operators can scan EAN code equipped job sheet and the machine will gather the job information from the clients CRM and upload all the data to the machine program and/or recall previous jobs quickly.
The SMA has several unique features that allow even used and demounted plates to be automatically registered and applied “hands free,” whilst its new “Double Decker” HD camera systems combined with the machine’s software and hardware features allow the SMA to continuously track and actively eliminate the startup skew even over the longest print repeats.
Pesenti added: “CAMIS is never really satisfied with what has achieved and from that perspective, we looked into further improvements for the future of CAMIS flexographic sleeve mounting systems and to secure our customers maximum pressrun time, without the reliability and calibration issues. We have machines in the field and these initial beta tests show us that we have maintained the CAMIS reliability.”
The CAMIS SMA is available in widths from 35-in. up to 78-in. wide and with print repeats from 11-in. up to 51-in.
