KBA – Innovations Secure Your Future
If you worship innovation and cherish tradition,
if you thrive on progress and live for the
future, then you are going to love the KBA
Rapida 106. After all, which other press
offers production speeds of up to 18,000
sheets/hr and has been proving this in daily
practice since 2004? Such performance is
KBA’s benchmark. The KBA Rapida 106 is
the makeready world champion. You don‘t
believe that? Well, it has already produced 104 jobs
of 1,000 sheets each in a single threeshift day, all under the watchful eyes of
independent institutions. But not only speed counts. Shrinking run lengths call for faster makeready and
innovative technologies.
That’s when KBA DRIVETRONIC technology shines.
NEW INNOVATION
Flying Job Change
Change plates while still running the press at 12,000 sheets per hour. Yes, while
still printing. Flying JobChange represents a transfer of technology from web
offset, where flying edition changes have long been routine, and supports
nigh-on continuous production.
On a 6 colour press why not use the first four printing units for process
colours and the fifth and sixth units alternately for flying imprints in different
languages.
DriveTronic Feeder – auto presettable shaftless feeder, jerk free,
unique to KBA
DriveTronic SIS – fully automatic sidelay setup, no-sidelay
intervention whatsoever
DriveTronic SPC – fully automatic simultaneous plate changing
DriveTronic PlateIdent – plate recognition and pre registering
CleanTronic Synchro – clean blankets, impression cylinders and inking
rollers simultaneously.
Manual settings are a thing of the past and a complete job changeover
with washing can be reduced to well below ten minutes.
Flying JobChange also allows four- and five-colour jobs to be printed on long
perfectors. An eight-colour press, for example, could print one four-colour job
on units 1 to 4 while the next job is set up on units 5 to 8. Once the specified number of sheets
has been delivered, production can switch automatically to the new job on units 5 to 8 and the first four units
can then be made ready for the job after that. And, of course, your press configuration can still be used without
restriction for standard four, five, six, eight or ten colour straight printing and perfecting. Flying JobChange
particularly in tandem with DriveTronic SPC and DriveTronic Plate-Ident, expands the choice of production
options enormously, and for print enterprises with the targeted job structure it may be the key to staying that
vital one step ahead of the competition.
