CTP systems of our own design.

For more than two decades we have been developing and building our own CTP systems – with a focus on reliability, easy maintenance and deep integration into existing production environments. Above all in newspaper and publishing printing, wherever high throughput and tight time windows matter.

Option

Pallet loader for maximum autonomy.

A fully automatic pallet loader is available for the VMAX. With up to 3000 plates per autoloader – or 6000 plates in double-loader mode – it reduces manual intervention to a minimum.

The daylight-capable cassette concept allows plates to be changed outside the machine in less than two minutes. Different plate types and formats can be loaded in mixed operation – switching is automatic and without interrupting production.

Service

Supported for many years.

Because we develop mechanics, optics, electronics and software entirely in-house, we are independent of third-party suppliers and can support, expand and adapt systems to new requirements for many years.

Remote maintenance

With our remote service concept we analyse and fix many faults directly from Bielefeld.

Live monitoring

With DotLine LIVE! and Advanced Customer Care we detect anomalies early and reduce downtime.

Spare parts & updates

Spare parts supply, on-site service and continuous development for reliable continuous operation.
