AV Flexologic to showcase RoboCell prepress technology at drupa

AV Flexologic team has been gearing up to unveil exclusive live demonstrations of RoboCell, a double award-winning patented innovation offering complete robotization of the pre-press department, at the upcoming drupa event in Germany.

The biggest AV Flexologic stand ever build will host RoboCell, a revolutionary robotic pre-press technology comprising RoboTape, RoboSleeve, and the fully automatic mounting machine Famm 3.0.

The RoboCell is an innovative, robotic solution that fully automates the sleeve and mounting workflow, combining tape application, plate mounting and sleeve handling using patented technology from AV Flexologic.

The system eliminates manual intervention, allowing sleeves to be selected, tape applied, sleeves delivered to the mounter for automatic plate mounting, and final sleeves filed to a cart, ready for the press.

The visitors to AV Flexologic stand will be able to witness the daily live demonstrations of the latest equipment with the company’s managing director, Martijn Otten, leading the audience through an in-depth exploration of RoboCell’s automated functionalities, step by step.

The company will be showcasing RoboTape, a robot with a taping tool that applies tape fully automatically, spiraling tape onto the sleeve, resulting in substantially less tape waste compared to manual taping and eliminating manual taping-related mistakes that cause press downtime.

On show will be also RoboSleeve, a gripping tool with different adapters depending on the sleeve, handling and delivering sleeves throughout the RoboCell work area. The RoboSleeve helps the robot apply tape and safely handle and load/unload sleeves.

Famm 3.0 will automatically mount multiple plates with extreme accuracy and speed.

AV Flexologic will also introduce new pre-press mounters and equipment for the first time, Tech Sleeves will reveal the newest durable printing sleeves and bridges, and Toyobo will display the sustainable water-washable flexo plate Cosmolight.
