Speedmasters are now even Smarter! |
 |
At Drupa 2008 Heidelberg released Prinect Press Center – the new control system for all Speedmaster presses. Prinect Press Center marks the start of a new generation of intelligent control systems and follows the hugely successful CP2000 control consol familiar to many.
Prinect Press Center incorporates a new operating system called Intellistart. Intellistart has been developed to improve efficiency and reduce errors when changing jobs. It follows a new process-oriented operating concept.
By comparing the old job with the new one, the steps required to set up the press for a job change are compiled in the form of a dynamic, process oriented list that is worked through automatically with the help of a “one-touch” button.
Automatic processes are brought into parallel and completed independently in a logical sequence.
Intellistart minimises setup times on the presses and optimises workflows.
What’s more, its operation-supported automation makes the current individual functions easier to handle, even for less experienced printers.
Another first from Heidelberg at Drupa was the introduction of a wall screen built into the press’ operating console. The wall screen gives the printer a complete overview of the press operations, along with a full size image of the printed sheet. ‘Wallscreen’ can also display colour separations, sheet brake positioning, colour measurement readings and all press reporting functions.
Both Prinect Print Centre and Intellistart are completely upgradable, ensuring that as this technology evolves systems can be kept current.
