Presented to the public for the first time at the All4Pack 2016 in Paris, France, the new SAMM 2.0 is the next generation automatic flexo plate mounting machine. The second generation automatic mounting machine SAMM works with flawless accuracy, elimination of press downtime due to mounting mistakes and mounts each plate fully operator independent. The SAMM 2.0 is the fastest mounting machine in the world, featuring a staggering mounting speed of only 30 seconds per plate. Among other features, the machine is equipped with AV Flexologic patented Image Recognition software using ultra-HD Ethernet camera’s, a robotic mounting table, full-width automatic pressure roller and automatic quality reporting.
These features result in a streamlined workflow combined with phenomenal consistency and higher operator productivity. Further benefits of automatic mounting with the SAMM include faster press startups, reduced changeover times and reduced mounting operator dependency. The elimination of bottlenecks in prepress and the ability to measure as well as record mounted plate tolerances down to the micron highly improve traceability and reporting possibilities.
Summarizing, the SAMM 2.0 is designed to counter the most challenging trends facing the flexographic industry today: higher quality demands and shorter lead times on printing jobs, which are becoming more frequent.
