WOODRIDGE, MAY 25th 2016 – The big event in our industry is near to start, the DRUPA expo in Germany. Since many years there has been a cooperation around the exhibitions between Tensor, DCOS and Tolerans and this year is no, different. We have partnered up again, in Hall 15, Booth C50-2.
TENSOR is presenting a couple of new major product improvements this Drupa;
- Tensor now offers automatic-plate lock- up on all series of printing units. This is a robust and yet simplistic solution to save a lot of setup time. On a well automated press, the plate up procedure is by far the most labor-intensive task that often dictates the number of press operators needed. This new feature makes it possible to operate a press efficiently with fewer people. It takes one operator less than two minutes to re-plate a 4-high tower.
- Tensors H50HD jaw folder with up to 14 webs capacity is a well- known product that has gone through a major redesign/upgrades;
- It is now fully shaftless with independent Nip, RTF, Quarter folder and tape drives
- The nipping section has been completely redesigned with pneumatic nip setting compared to the traditional ways of setting a fixed distance between nips and adjusting with any change in pagination
- The folder is fitted with a touchscreen for settings, information, and adjustments
- Nips, trolleys, and slitters are remotely controlled from the control desk or from the touchscreen
DCOS is focusing on the two main topics in the industry today when it comes to automation; RETROFIT and CLOSED-LOOP systems.
-
DCOS can offer drive and control system RETROFITS on most presses on the market. Our strength is finding the right customized solution for each customer and implementing on a running press. DCOS uses only standard industrial components which contributes to cost-effective and future-proof solutions
-
DCOS introduced the multi-function CRC4 closed-loop color scanner on DRUPA 2012. Four years later it ́s fair to say that it was introduced at the right time and it was the right technology; it is a very successful product. Today the functionality has been further extended which we will be presenting at DRUPA. Based on data from all installations we have created a tool for ROI calculations that is providing us and our customers with an accurate basis for an investment.
-
A “one source” supplier Many printers who are looking at extending the service life of their presses by a RETROFIT also decide to increase the automation level by adding CLOSED-LOOP system to stay competitive. DCOS is unique in our industry in offering both products within one company. DCOS has one R&D department, one software platform, one hardware platform, one project manager team and one team of a technician. This makes DCOS cost-effective, efficient and well-coordinated
