“With digital printing we can prototype much easier and personalise things per item, per company. The possibilities are dazzling.” - Paul de Lange, CEO of Intrapec Group. After a thorough purchasing process, Intrapec Group decided to invest in the Arizona 2300 series. The well-established Canon reputation, value for money and the extensive service network were key-factors in the decision to choose the Arizona flatbed printer. The combination with the Zünd digital cutter means Intrapec is now fully equipped to explore new possibilities of digital packaging. They can even combine their offset and flexo-presses with the Arizona in mixed applications. Some of the benefits that Paul de Lange and his team have already discovered about the Canon Arizona include the ability to run small production jobs efficiently. They are also impressed by the ease with which they can now create prototypes and personalised packaging. Are you looking for new possibilities in digital packaging?

With a complete redesign of mechanical, electrical, visual, safety and user interaction elements, the SAMM 3.0 sets new standards for reliability, efficiency and performance. Key New Features of SAMM 3.0: 🔹Speed & Capacity: Fastest and most productive mounting machine in the world. By Far. Compared to its predecessor, the SAMM 2.0 we have doubled the speed to less than 30s per plate! The SAMM 3.0 adds significant capacity and significantly reduces operator time spent during mounting. Compared to manual or other types of plate mounting: 5-10x faster. 🔹Ultra-Precise Automatic Mounting: Achieves record-breaking color-to-color accuracy within ±25 microns, ensuring high-quality printing with every plate mounted, including an automated quality check. 🔹Patented Backlight System: Features a patented backlight system that enhances image clarity, ensuring the best possible image recognition. 🔹Redesigned Front Table: Features a newly designed front table with a vastly improved vacuum system and a curved front, optimizing handling of curled plates and improving overall operational ergonomics. 🔹Enhanced Safety Mechanisms: Equipped with a Keyence Zone Sensor, the SAMM 3.0 ensures superior safety by detectin presence in hazardous areas, automatically halting operations to enhance operator safety. 🔹Browser-based dashboard: The SAMM 3.0 introduces an advanced, browser-based dashboard designed to enhance user interaction and streamline the monitoring of the flexographic plate mounting process. This innovative dashboard is a key feature, providing comprehensive insights and control to users in real-time. 🔹Advanced Software Integration: Seamlessly integrates with ESKO and Hybrid, customer ERP systems as well as PDF and Excel for intuitive job setups and maintains a comprehensive performance management system through a browser-based dashboard. 🔹New ‘Tape Holder 2.0’:  Simplifies the tape application process with precision alignment and automated tension control, significantly boosting efficiency and consistency in tape application. Also features an exchangeable shaft for versatile tape handling and a pneumatic mechanism, offering smooth, ergonomic adjustments that enhance operational comfort and efficiency.

Printing and cutting displays almost in real time! Is that possible?   We said Godin Productions Ltd. to ourselves. YES!  As a production powerhouse, it has to be possible for our customers. So we worked on a solution. The reality is that budgets and campaigns are decided on short notice; in fast action and in small or large quantities. For everyone involved, that usually means stress, unrest and often high costs. In order to respond better to such situations, we have invested in @Godinproductions.  We added 3x Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems so that we can directly process the freshly printed products from our other wonder machine Agfa Inkjet Solutions called "The Beast"!  See video Almost in real time. The result:   We can now handle even the tightest timelines and endless volumes for our customers  around the clock thanks to automation. This is not only incredibly fast, but also incredibly high quality!  So if you have an almost unmanageable task on your desk at short notice and have no idea how to get it done. Just ask us. We are happy to take on the challenge... 😉 Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems Agfa Inkjet Solutions Vince Tuccitto Todd Godin Arron Brailsford GARY HARPER #kongberg #afga #manufacturing #packaging #realtime #challenges
