Werosys introduces Compact digital print module

According to the Denmark-based manufacturer, the Werosys Compact Digital Print Module offers high speed and high quality printing and converting in one job operation, as well as fast job changes.

All web handling is controlled from the central PLC/HMI in the converting line.

Compared to add-on printing systems, stated the company, a fully integrated system eliminates issues with missing labels or poor print quality during print engine cleaning cycles caused by inability to re-register the print.

Complete synchronization between printing, semi-rotary die-cut and slitting optimize end product quality and removes problems during forward and backward motion – as well as acceleration and de-acceleration of the web.

Werosys Digital Print Module is able to run both cost-efficient print engines, for example the TrojanThree print engine; and high speed UV based ink print engines, such as the Hapa print engine based on Konica Minolta technology.

‘The digital print module can be installed on existing Werosys lines in the field, or combined with any of the Werosys Compact modules, now or in the future, to fit our customers’ changing needs,’ said the company in statement.
