ThermoFlexX has launched the redesigned ThermoFlexX 60 digital flexo plate imager at an open house at its factory in Ypres, Belgium.
Based on the company’s developments in flexo technology over the last two years, the company says the new ThermoFlexX 60 is the most advanced 1,067 x 1,524 mm flexo imager on the market.
‘Our commitment to the flexo industry and our determination to push forward the boundaries of what can be achieved in the field of plate imaging has resulted in several major breakthroughs which have positioned ThermoFlexX as a leading manufacturer in this sector,’ said Christophe Lievens, director sales and marketing for basysPrint and ThermoFlexX.
‘In addition to advancements in technology, we have established a growing network of global dealers and distributors while our customer base has expanded considerably. Our recently launched ThermoFlexX 80, the largest imager in our range, has attracted significant interest. Models are now in full production at AtoutFlex, a leading service bureau in north-east France, and at a new 800 sq metre factory in Bejaia, Algeria, completed recently by the Miller Graphics Group. The third ThermoFlexX 80 has recently been installed in Egypt and we expect to announce further orders in the near future.’
All of the technology incorporated into the ThermoFlexX 80 is available on the new ThermoFlexX 60. This includes the ability to fit a dual-head imaging system, which enables output speeds of 12 sq metres an hour at 2,400 dpi, making these two models the fastest flexo imagers in the world.
The imaging concept consists of three independent modules – the motor, laser and optics. The flexible design means that replacing any of these modules is straightforward, which simplifies service and hardware upgrades and provides the possibility for remote optical fine-tuning.
