Among Windmöller & Hölscher’s exhibits at drupa 2008 was the Vistaflex C, a new direct drive, high speed flexo press offering “a new dimension in sleeve handling”. The press, which can be fitted with eight or 10 colour decks, is designed for print repeats of up to 1,250 mm and print widths of up to 2,200 mm. Top print speed is 800 m/min.
But the special feature is the Vista-Port automatic sleeve handling system with exchangeable sleeve mandrels. It is said to offer fully automatic, fast and reliable job change-overs. The press operator determines the change-over sequence and fits the mandrels with the right printing and anilox roll sleeves. Vista-Port then automatically completes the job-change-over, optimizing the position of the new mandrels in the magazine allowing for set-up of all required colour decks in the shortest time.
