Rapida 106
KBA Rapida 106 Sheetfed Offset Printing Press
Since being released at Drupa 2008, KBA Rapida 106 is constantly on the function as the world champion in makeready and the most efficient press in the class having a speed of 18,000 sph. A vital unique feature from the KBA QualiTronic color-control system, which measures densities in line on each sheet at maximum production speed this technique removes timeconsuming manual evaluations and reduces start-up waste. QualiTronic is really a camera-based inline sheetinspection system that scans each sheet and compares it having a reference sheet.
Full UV press : gloss and matt effects, full and place finishes, single and multiple coating programs, endless options. Drying out function on all models for enhanced UV programs. Prints in writing, board, corrugated (as much as 48 pts) or metallic supports and plastics. A text readers scans the printed sheet and compares the end result by having an approved Pdf. Errors in foreign languages or images could be recognized immediately. At each 10 sheets, an adjustement of thecolor density, if any variation.

Among the key features on our new KBA Rapida 106 sheetfed offset printing machine is its automated qc system. The brand new Rapida 106’s QualiTronic color control system guarantees that there won’t be any variation of color on our printed items. Not just did the press provide automated qc however it shipped fast makeready too.
The Rapida 106 sheet fed offset printers is outfitted using the DriveTronic SIS (Sensoric Infeed System), an entirely makeready-free system argument no setting or sidelay errors, nor will it mark sensitive substrates. Its mode of operation is ingeniously simple: a sensor determines the lateral position from the sheet around the feeder board, and because the sheet approaches the transfer indicate the very first printing unit the gripper around the transfer drum lines up the sheet using the side position specified in the console. Various automation modules, for example fully automatic plate changers, ErgoTronic ACR video register, DensiTronic Professional ink density control and also the LogoTronic management system, ensure maximum productivity.
The press continues to be carried out to optimise the business’s pressroom performance. To capability to have make-readies inside a couple of minutes was among the important aspects in the choice to install 5-colour B2 KBA Rapida 106 plus coater. Based on KBA, synchronised plate altering allows fast move occasions, an even operation and simple maintenance and decreases on wasted sheets. KBA’s Drivetronic SPC devoted plate-cylinder drive product is an application system supporting synchronised plate altering in under a minute, no matter the amount of printing models. Because the make-ready work and washing may also be completed simultaneously, it reduces the length of move occasions.
In the recent Print 09 exhibition, an eight-colour B2 Rapida 106 printing machines created an overall total of 17 four-over four-colour jobs, each with 500 saleable sheets, in a single hour. The performance incorporated an overall total of 136 plate changes.

this is a monster of machines. for the big dawgs.
