SAMM 2.0

The SAMM 2.0, a top-tier automatic flexo plate mounter, is now available in a special edition. Co-developed with BOBST, the SAMM 2.0 smartGPS merges precision with the advanced Graphic Positioning System. Featuring an integrated measuring bar and head, the BOBST smartGPS ensures exceptional accuracy. It automatically generates all registration and impression settings offline during plate mounting. This integration leads to a streamlined, waste-free workflow, reducing changeover times and press downtime significantly.

The TIR system is designed to measure the '3d landscape' of sleeves and cylinders by using a laser to scan an adjustable grid pattern across and around the sleeve. With this information, it is possible to know the condition of every sleeve that you have in inventory, which helps save valuable time in your press department.It is also possible to build a database to help track the condition of your sleeve inventory over time.

Using our patented image recognition system, a visual mark on the edge of a sleeve such as the W&H EasyReg strip can be automatically 'set to zero' on the MOM, SAMM, and FAMM mounting machines by simply pushing a button. The camera automatically homes in on the EasyReg mark and also automatically 'sets zero' in the X and Y direction with a 0.001mm (1µ)

A tape holder can optionally be added to MOM and SAMM machines on precision linear guides. The linear guides make sure the tape roll is completely parallel to the sleeve when applying tape and assist the operator to easily move the tape along the side of the sleeve. The tape application can be completed using the pressure roller of the machine and the optional cutting knife.

The cutting knife unit can be slid around the whole length of the machine and cut the tape seamlessly. It is made with a precise depth adjustment, therefore the sleeve is not damaged from cutting. The cutting knife can be used to cut plates as well

The cutting knife has a very precise adjustable depth which is regulated by the movement of the lift. The cutting knife is connected to the camera beam and you can easily slide it through the sleeve and cut the excess tape without damaging the sleeve.The cutting knife is also used for applying tape onto the sleeve and it is an optional feature to the automatic SAMM and the Motorized MOM mounting machines.

A barcode/QR code scanner can be optionally added to the MOM; SAMM or FAMM for automatic loading of the jobs. The jobs are then usually made offline in prepress to optimize the machine Operation Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Feature of the TIR. A database that tracks sleeves using the sleeve ID, which can be read using a barcode or an RFID chip. The TIR sleeve measurement is then stored in this central database. Things such as run length and run times can also be added.

Shaft coupling for cylinders is driven by a harmonic drive. The shaft coupling is mounted on precision rails and can slide onto the cylinder shaft using a hand wheel that actuates the horizontal movement. The coupling is manually fastened by a locking mechanism that tightens a collar around the shaft, preventing any play. The shaft diameter should be the same for all cylinders.
