Gallus unveils ECS 340 press configurator

Gallus has launched an online configuration tool for its ECS 340 press, which allows potential customers to design the specifications of their modular machine and see the results.

Users can create a customized, interactive Gallus ECS 340 configuration in three simple steps, and can produce one or an unlimited number of configurations as required.

The welcome page provides general information on the benefits of the Gallus ECS 340, followed by the first step in the process – defining the basic configuration, i.e. the printing equipment and the number of inking and die-cutting units.

The second, more detailed step allows optional accessories can be added to each part of the Gallus ECS 340 marked with a plus sign. Clicking on one of these signs opens a pop-up window listing all the options for extending the press at this point. Clicking the ‘i’ icon next to each option displays a brief description of the relevant item. Options such as the reel lift unwinding unit, web-cleaning system, corona conditioning unit, delam/relam, ink pumps, laminating unit, cold foil mechanism, die-cutting pressure and depth adjusters, web monitoring mechanism and reel lift rewind unit can be added and removed again as required with a click of the mouse.

Once the configuration has been completed, the third step enables users to print or send the image and the associated configuration details. The configuration can also be sent to Gallus with any questions or to obtain a precise price breakdown/quotation.

‘Gallus hopes the configurator will create added value for its potential and existing customers, while also improving the quality of the advice it offers,’ says the company. ‘Using the configurator makes it quick and easy to identify the key benefits and the various options available. The image of the “dream label press” produced can also be forwarded as required.’

The configurator is a web-based tool and works with standard browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari.
