By launching the new Auto Pallet Loaders for the Suprasetter series, Heidelberg is closing one of the last automation gaps in prepress and boosting production reliability.
The Auto Pallet Loader for large formats can hold up to 600 plates.
Lean processes and extensive automation help companies stand out from the competition when it comes to achieving industrial print production and consistent quality. That is why Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) is increasing automation in prepress and providing solutions to keep work moving in computer-to-plate. By introducing the two new optional Auto Pallet Loader (APL) systems for the Suprasetter 106 and 145/162/190CtP platesetters, Heidelberg is enabling uninterrupted loading of up to 1,200 printing plates in 106 format, or 600 in large format. That makes the systems a flexible and high-performance automation solution for computer-to-plate operations. The solution is particularly relevant for industrial-scale media service providers that are pursuing end-to-end automation in their printing process.
