Sheet-fed printing machines are highly productive systems used for producing advertising material, such as brochures, posters, catalogs and packaging material made of paper, foil or metall. Lot sizes are becoming smaller; “production on demand” is the motto – i.e. short startup times for product changes are a major requirement on automation. So in order to reduce startup times, these machines increasingly use single-drive technologies. This way, both flexibility and efficiency can be significantly increased.
