"Speed up for Success" is this year's Messemotto of the Swiss full-range supplier Gallus, a subsidiary of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg). Gallus is at the Labelexpo in Brussels. The focus of this trade fair will be the new Gallus Labelmaster and Gallus Labelfire press systems as well as the new Gallus Services and Gallus screen printing products, which will impress the audience with an impressive performance.
Gallus Labelmaster and Gallus Labelmaster Advanced offer maximum flexibility After the successful premiere of the Gallus Labelmaster in September 2016 during the Gallus Innovation Days, Gallus will be exhibiting at the Labelexpo 2017 in Brussels, next to the basic variant of this label printing machine, Now also the Gallus Labelmaster Advanced line with multi-web equipment to the public. The Gallus Labelmaster Advanced line offers a modular design with maximum flexibility and a high level of automation. This machine offers the label printer the highest degree of process variability. This means that the different finishing and printing units can be changed quickly and easily at any position on the machine.
Basically, the Gallus Labelmaster is distinguished by its special platform design and can be configured by the customer according to his individual requirements. With open interfaces, this machine series offers its users high investment security and the possibility to react flexibly to future market changes.
According to this new platform principle, the Gallus Labelmaster is built up in modules which each contain two pressure units. These modules are available in three different versions. The basic version already covers all required standards of label printing. The Plus version provides a much higher level of flexibility for covering many applications in the label industry and the Advanced line leaves almost no wishes unanswered and can be configured to meet almost any automation needs. With this module system, Gallus allows the label printer to meet the existing market requirements and be prepared for the future at any time. And this has become investment heights that could not be imagined so far for premium products. The new Gallus Labelmaster is characterized by a special platform design and will be configurable by the customer according to his individual requirements. The new machine platform Gallus Labelmaster offers a whole range of product highlights, such as an extremely short web run from printing unit to printing unit of only 1.4 m and a high maximum speed of 200 m / min making the Gallus Labelmaster the fastest label printing machine Gallus has ever built. The machine can be controlled centrally by means of an HMI touchpanel, but manual intervention is extremely easy and, above all, quick and easy to set up. With just a few hand movements, the aluminum light-weight printing cylinders specially developed for this type of machine can be exchanged for the printer, enabling the printer to achieve a fast change of job. An optimized color box for the chamber squeegee requires only 250 g of color and thus also keeps these costs low; In addition, the ink fountain was optimized for ink spitting and foam formation. The newly designed flexographic printing unit - with the experience of basic principles from the sheetfed offset of the parent company Heidelberg - is directly driven via two servomotors and offers Gallus premium quality from the beginning. In addition to the flexographic printing equipment, a newly developed screen printing machine is also available, which offers the possibility of high-end finishing. Especially noteworthy is the register integrity of the Gallus label masters: Whether the machine is operated in the slow set-up state or is accelerated to final speed, the print image always remains in the register, without the slightest post-correction and underlines the precision with which the Gallus Labelmaster performs its service. Gallus Labelfire 340 - digital printing now with advanced inline finishing functionalities Gallus's focus on this exhibition is shortened throughput times in the production of digitally printed labels. Gallus presents the Gallus Labelfire digital label printing machine on the Labelexpo with advanced inline finishing processes. In contrast to the digital label printing machines on the market, Which exclusively print digitally and integrate the further processing of the label into a downstream process, the Gallus Labelfire offers the production of finished and finished labels in a single production run. Thus, with the digital printing of enhanced labels on the Gallus Labelfire, faster production times are guaranteed, combined with less waste. This means for the label printer that he saves time, costs and material compared to a multi-stage production process since the change to the subsequent processing is no longer necessary. And thanks to Fujifilm's latest generation of inkjet printheads, the Gallus Labelfire has a native resolution of 1200 dpi for a print quality equivalent to offset printing. Gallus presents the Gallus Labelfire digital label printing machine on the Labelexpo with advanced inline finishing processes. Digitization at Gallus Services increases machine availability The new service offers by Gallus are the hallmarks of Industry 4.0, which enable the label printer to achieve higher machine availability. Gallus and Heidelberg are working together on a large number of concrete projects that promote digitalisation in the factories and provide customers with concrete added value. For example, the "M-Call" product enables automated ticketing: the printing machine independently transmits all necessary machine data to the Gallus Helpdesk, In the first instance, the necessary telephone calls and mailings for the case recording are dispensed with, and the M-Call thus facilitates faster response times of the service organization. Gallus customers also benefit from the almost complete integration of the Gallus sales and service organizations into the Heidelberg Group. This means that Gallus will be able to access Heidelberg's worldwide service network in the future. For the customer, this means that a worldwide comprehensive network of local Heidelberg service organizations is available and thus a fast on-site service is ensured. Gallus Screeny: Easy to Use - Fast to Print That the printing speed of the rotative screen printing process no longer has to be a limiting factor in label printing, Gallus Screeny on the Labelexpo 2017 is the impressive proof. By selecting the right system components, the printing speeds can be increased significantly in the combination printing screen printing / flexo / offset, without having to accept losses in print quality. Under the motto: Gallus Screening Easy to Use - Fast to Print, the Gallus experts from the Screen Printing division are presenting the necessary system components. The proof of this is provided in a live demonstration by a Gallus Labelmaster, equipped with Gallus Screeny Speedprinting components, during the show. It will print a label including screen printing with a high production speed, which will present a new benchmark in rotative screen printing. In addition, the screen printing division, in cooperation with Heidelberg, is presenting the new Phoenix UV-LED direct exposure system. With this innovative exposure system, high-quality printing for almost all printing processes can be produced. Whether for screen, flexo, book and offset printing, the Phoenix offers a future-proof solution with the best profitability. This imagesetter is characterized by fast and easy handling and represents an important building block for Gallus Screeny customers in the process-oriented screen manufacturing process.
