Omet’s iFlex press nominated at FlexoTech Awards 2015

The iFlex is a 370mm-wide ‘entry-level’ PS label press. It features the laser-assisted plate cylinder adjustment, known as iLight, and iVision register control. iLight is a pre-register system characterized by the presence of one laser pointer per print unit. The laser pointers guide the operator to the quick manual alignment of all plates, thus speeding up the job changeovers and reducing waste, says Omet. Dual laser pointers are positioned on the die station – one perpendicular to the die for accurate longitudinal register, and one aligned on the web for cut-to-print accuracy. 

iVision is a camera-assisted register system (one camera per print unit). The scanned images reach the iVision display and the register is quickly and manually set before the printed job reaches the end of the line.

iFlex is equipped with Omet’s Direct Drive technology which means one gear on the plate cylinder per print unit. This system is meant to eliminate gear backlash, reduce maintenance and improve print stability. iFlex also has a fully redesigned converting section introducing QCDC (Quick Change Die-Cutting) and Rock’n’Roll matrix rewinder unit.
