WEBFLEX 330/430Take a look at the WEBFLEX specification & price ratio and we think youwill want to take a closer look at what <strong>Focus</strong> can provide for yourproduction requirementsWhen the <strong>Focus</strong> design team set about developing a new generation ofconverting presses, they had a single goal in mind. To produce the ultimateperformance machine, which would meet the demands of the modernconverting & packaging industry. High productivity and consistent qualityare essential in an increasingly demanding market place. In the WEBFLEX,we have launched a truly modular press, packed with advanced features toensure you meet your production quotas head on.This is a heavy duty converting press, supplied with a unique 3 ZoneTension Control system, ensuring absolute register stability over a widerange of substrates from unsupported film through to labels, high densitycarton board and packaging materials. The print modules are suppliedwith the ultimate, rapid-change cartridge system, which is self-containedcan be removed in seconds and exchanged without the need for tools.In addition, we have produced a range of ancillary equipment, such asCold Foil systems, Silk Screen, Turn-Bar, Delam/Relamination and a hostof other production enhancing facilities that make the WEBFLEX the bestvalue flexographic press available today.• HIGH SPEED PRINTING & CONVERTING• IN-LINE PRESS DESIGN• 1 to 10 COLOURS, MODULAR CONSTRUCTION• RAPID CHANGE CARTRIDGE TECHNOLOGY• FAST SET UPS & RAPID CHANGEOVERS• CONSTANT ANILOX ROTATION & AUTOMATIC PLATE THROW OFF• AUTO CLEAN PLATE SYSTEM• NFRARED, PART OR FULL U.V DRYING SYSTEMS• ROLL TO ROLL or ROLL TO SHEET CONVERTINGOPERATION FEATURESThe WEBFLEX is supplied with a large capacity unwind module withautomatic roll lift, splice table & web guide as standard. Each printmodule is supplied with an individual infra-red drying system, withimpinged airflow over the substrate, plus waste air extraction. In addition,U.V dryers can also be installed, allowing for full U.V or combinationdrying techniques for various types of ink. The ink fountains are selfcontained,quick-change cartridges with ink pan, metering roll, reverseangle doctor blade & anilox roll. All cartridges are fully interchangeableand can easily be removed or exchanged, without the need for tools.<strong>Focus</strong> have also introduced an automatic self-clean plate system, toremove used ink at press stops, combined with automatic plate throw offand constant turning anilox rolls.The unique 3-Zone Tension System ensures register stability ismaintained through any speed variations or changes during the run. The3-Zone System monitors and adjusts tension at the unwind, print, diecutting & rewind sections.Individual die section modules are supplied with quick release pneumaticlocking clamps and on run register adjustments in all directions. Theframes are heavy duty steel construction, designed to cope with cartoncutting & creasing applications. A dedicated slitting module is alsosupplied.One or two rewind turrets can be supplied, with direct torque drivessuitable for film, label, tag & board substrates. Operator controls areconveniently located at each module for easy & safe machine operation.NEW WEBFLEX SERVO (Separate information available)FLEXOGRAPHIC CONVERTING SYSTEMS

PROFLEX 250/330Chambered inkfountainThe longstanding success of <strong>Focus</strong> compact Central Impressionpresses has led to the introduction of a new generation of compact inlineflexographic presses, designed to bridge the gap to the largerWEBFLEX range of machines.The new PROFLEX 250 is the most affordable modular system on themarket. The PROFLEX is available with 2, 4 , 6 or 8 colourconfigurations and will surely appeal to those with space limitations, butwho also have a wide range of printing & converting requirements.The PROFLEX is a true, modular concept and is fully expandable. Theprint modules are supplied with the same quick-change cartridgesystem as used for the CENTRAFLEX range, whilst retaining theversatility of the larger WEBFLEX press to incorporate Cold Foilsystems, Turn-Bar, Delaminating and a host of other productionenhancing facilities.

In the past, converters have been limited to hot foilsystems with press speed limitations, or expensive off linesolutions. The new FOILFLEX Cold Foil system can be regarded asan integral part of the printing process, requiring only a U.V dryer,eliminating speed restrictions and providing high definition foildecoration.• FOIL / LAMINATION UNWIND• NIP ROLL IN FEED• FOIL / LAMINATION WASTE REWIND• HIGH SPEED APPLICATION• HIGH QUALITY DEFINITION• COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONOPERATIONAL FEATURESThe material cost of cold foil is comparable with traditional hot foillaminate films, but without the additional investment of specialisttooling or ‘off line’ equipment.Using a standard flexographic process, the foil design is simplyprinted, using a special U.V.- reactive adhesive, in place of ink. Foilis laminated onto the substrate, before passing through the U.Vdryer. The U.V dryer cures the adhesive and the waste foil is thenremoved in line, leaving the highly decorative design. This systemwill provide a seamless production solution, allowing you to offeryour customer real added value & quality.


SCREENFLEX<strong>Focus</strong> has developed a Rotary Screen system specifically for itsrange of Flexographic printing presses.This offers the opportunity to add further value to your Labelbusiness without the perceived investment of purchasing athird party system. You will be confident in the knowledgethat this system is designed specifically for your press andbacked by <strong>Focus</strong> service and technical support. Screensare available from a number of sources and are glued to<strong>Focus</strong> supplied end rings using the mounting frameprovided.

Guaranteed to be pinaccurate every time, the PLATEMATE is quick & simple to operate andhas an integral adhesive tape dispenser as standard.No more valuable production time due to mislaid plates - or costlydown time waiting for plates to be mounted. A complete set of printingplates can be pre-mounted, before going to press, with full confidencethey will be square and accurate. Available for all <strong>Focus</strong> machinemodels, the PLATEMATE system is compatible with printing cylindersfrom almost every type narrow web press, ensuring the full productionpress shop can enjoy the benefits of the system.• COMPACT, HEAVY DUTY FRAME• TWIN HIGH-MAGNIFICATION CAMERAS• SPLIT VIDEO SCREEN• FINE ADJUSTMENT OF PRINT PLATE• ADHESIVE TAPE DISPENSER• REDUCED SET UP TIMES• COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION• COMPATIBLE WITH ALL CYLINDER TYPESOPERATIONAL FEATURESThe systems utilize 2 pre-applied register marks at each edge of theprinting plates, aligned perpendicular to the printing direction. Theprint cylinder is loaded onto a spindle, directly under the highmagnification cameras. Double sided mounting tape is applied to theprinting cylinder. The printing plate is then positioned and clampedunder the two cameras and each camera is focused onto a differenthalf of each register mark. The combined image is displayed on thehigh definition monitor. The position of the printing plate to thecylinder can be infinitely adjusted until the two half images make aperfect full display. At this point, the printing plate can be firmlyapplied to the printing cylinder & released from the plate clamp. Theplate is now mounted and ready to go to press.This procedure takes les than 30 seconds and is repeated for eachprinting plate cylinder.
