ThermoFlexX Catena-E 80 T

ThermoFlexX Catena-E 80 T Overview

Benefits

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

• ThermoFlexX Catena-E 80 T uses latest technology high-power LED’s for the main exposure process in order to eliminate oxygen effects in flexo plate making.
• The back exposing process is done by means of well proven UVA tubes.
• Catena-E provides precise image reproduction and fine relief elements for the highest possible.
• Perfect for imaging the finest Surface Micro Structures such as Woodpecker Nano.

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 ARCHITECTURE

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.

FULL IN-LINE AUTOMATION

Catena-E 80 T can be added to existing or new ThermoFlexX 80 or 60 imaging systems. The unique Rover plate moving system and bridge are required to provide fully automatic imaging and exposure. After removing the cover sheet, no plate handling is necessary until the exposed plate is available for wash-out. Labour and plate waste (damage) are saved by avoiding operator intervention through the most sensitive stages of the flexo plate making process.

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.

INDUSTRY LEADING PRODUCTIVITY

Powerful LEDs and full coverage back exposure ensure that Catena-E is fast enough to keep pace with TFxX80D, the most productive LAMs imager available today, even for the thickest plates.

LED & UVA TUBES CONSISTENT IN QUALITY AND PIECE OF MIND

An internal measurement tool assures industry leading remote support and measures daily the main and back exposure to ensure perfect operation and avoid plate waste in case of an anomaly.

STABLE OUTPUT QUALITY WITH LIGHT BARRIER AND LIGHT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Because of the automated light barrier, the unstable warm-up phase of the tubes is avoided and precision floor heights can be achieved with ease. The patented light distribution system results in unmatched back-exposure uniformity.

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.
