Comexi and AVT develop next-gen Cingular Real

Comexi and AVT have partnered to introduce the next generation of Cingular Real, designed to ensure ‘the best-possible’ automatic print pressure and register during make-ready, and offer significant improvements in waste reduction.

Cingular Real2 was recently installed at Clondalkin’s Flexoplast facility in The Netherlands

Cingular Real analyzes the printed image pressure without the use of marks and automatically drives each printing deck to ideal pressure during the make-ready process. It also compares a PDF file of the printed job and moves the press into perfect registration during make-ready. Cingular Real2 optimizes the make-ready process and enhances communication between the AVT Argus E Turbo system and the Comexi press.

Cingular Real2 was recently installed at Clondalkin’s Flexoplast facility in The Netherlands. Compared to the original version, Klaas Struiksma, head of the company’s technical department, reported a 150m reduction in make-ready waste and a time saving of two minutes each time the press was made ready. For a typical day’s production of 10 to 15 make-readies, this can equate to about half an hour in saved time and a significant amount of saved material.

Comexi flexo technical director Jordi Puig said: ‘Cingular Real has become an essential part in Comexi flexographic presses for those converters striving to achieve maximum efficiency. The upgraded Cingular Real2 further improves its original version, enabling customers to reduce time and material waste while maintaining the register adjustment according to 100 percent impression.’

‘AVT is committed to the continuous development of innovative solutions that save our customers time, materials and, ultimately, money,’ added Amir Sheinman, vice president of marketing of AVT. ‘The Cingular Real2 installation at Clondalkin Flexoplast exemplifies the sort of impact our print process control and inspection solutions can provide.’
