KBA Genius 52 UV

KBA Genius 52 UV

Description

Standardized sheetfed offset with waterless and UV technology without ink zones for printing on plastic and carton.

Creative minds face a real challenge when it comes to using the vast offering of non-absorbing materials (e.g. plastics such as PVC, PC, PS, ABS and PET) available for the jobbing, packaging and label printing sectors. There is a growing demand especially for plastic films. What was once a domain reserved for screen printing is now also open to offset printers who, equipped with UV and waterless technology, are well positioned to get a share of this high-growth market for themselves. But even screen printing businesses can use the greater flexibility provided by this new technology to extend their markets. In the lucrative packaging print sector, where quality of the highest standard is the order of the day, many print products can be manufactured inline with high process reliability and good cost-effectiveness. In other words: printing in four or five colors, ghosting-free with service-proven short inking units, on materials up to 0.8 mm thick.

And (only) the Genius 52UV can do it! The technical press had the following to say about the Genius 52UV: “The new offset printer is waterless and rollerless”. For good reason! Many notorious, hard-to-master parameters of conventional offset printing are now a thing of the past. For example: There’s no more adjusting the ink zones, damping units and roller inking units, and no more controlling the ink-water equilibrium. KBA-Metronic AG has many years of experience with waterless short inking units without ink keys. This is verified by more than 1,500 printing units installed world-wide.
Winning arguments are process stability and standardized printing, complete plate change within five minutes, only about 10 sheets of run-up waste, and up to 8,000 printed sheets per hour in a size of 360 x 520 mm. The one-man machine with its high degree of automation for ease of operation is predestined for small and medium print runs with extremely short job changeover times. Having just a few, clearly arranged touchscreen menus, the GENIUS 52UV can be mastered by new operators within the shortest possible time.
Highly cost-effective and efficient through the minimization of time and cost:
  • Printing times can be planned for available printing plate sets
  • Job changeover in no more than 7 minutes
  • Around ten sheets of run-up waste
  • 1:1 ink transmission by cylinders of identical diameter results in ghosting-free prints
  • Consistently high printing quality from the first to the last print with the anilox short inking unit. Inking is held constant by temperature control over the entire sheet width
  • Excellent register stability thanks to gripper bite
  • Urgent printing jobs are possible at short notice
  • Lower production costs due to smaller footprint of less than 12 m2
  • New business fields made possible by high flexibility with extreme substrates
The economic strengths of the Genius 52 UV lie in small and medium-size print runs. Its most striking advantage is the small amount of setup work and the short period of time until the first “good sheet” is produced. It is inked up more quickly than other machines. And this becomes all the more noticeable with frequently changing jobs.
