ThermoFlexX Catena-E 48 Overview

Benefits

HIGHEST QUALITY FLAT-TOP-DOT PLATES

ThermoFlexX Catena-E uses latest technology high-power LED’s to eliminate oxygen eects in flexo plate making. Catena-E provides precise image reproduction and fine relief elements for the highest possible flexo print quality. Perfect for imaging the finest Surface Micro Structures such as Woodpecker Nano.

BUILT FOR SERVICEABILITY

Should LED replacement be found necessary, modules are reasonably priced and easy to replace with basic training. This ensures the highest possible levels of exposure consistency coupled with low cost of ownership with a built-in measurement system for main and back exposure.

FAST EXPOSURES FOR ALL PLATES

Powerful LEDs and full coverage back exposure ensure that Catena-E 48 is fast enough to keep pace with the TFxX 48-S flexo plate imager, with an imaging productivity of 6m2/hr.

AUTO LED QUALITY CHECK ENSURES CONSISTENCY

Both main and back exposure LED outputs are checked for consistent output. This can also be done remotely, enhancing support capability.

CONTROLLED ENCLOSED ENVIRONMENT

Catena-E systems feature an automatic cover to keep dust away from the plate. Catena-E has a fully controlled internal environment with controlled air circulation, extraction and water cooling to ensure truly consistent exposures from plate to plate, year to year.

OPEN, CHOOSE HOW YOU USE CATENA-E

Catena-E presents the opportunity for total optimisation of main and back plate exposure. Users can choose to have a XSYS technician finalise and secure settings for the easiest of operation. Or, with training, experienced users can fine tune their own parameters to add value through their own expertise.

SUPER STABLE LONG-LIFE LEDS

Extremely stable LEDs are used. They are fully tested to 10,000 operating hours and beyond. The LED’s are instantaneously stable, thus no warm-up time is necessary.

3 FLAVOURS OF AUTOMATION

The Catena-E48 offers users the flexibility of choosing from three distinct levels of automation. Users have the option to select between a manual or automatic load door, or opt for the fully automated Catena-BE48 system, which seamlessly integrates with the ThermoFlexX 48 imager.

With the Catena-BE48, the pre-load function of the TFxX48 is activated, enabling the automatic unloading of a plate into the exposure frame while the next plate is loaded onto the imager, all without any need for operator interference.
