Atze Bosma, CEO of MPS Systems, said: ‘By going beyond the machine in product innovation and intensive cooperation with our customers, MPS continually improves the printing process and operator experience. It’s in our DNA.’ The new press is fully automated multi-substrate flexo press reportedly ready for 24x7 operations.
Based on the successful foundation of six previous EF platform generations, including MPS innovations such as Crisp.Dot Technology, Non-stop Print Change, and the Ultraflex Rail System, several enhancements were made to the next generation EF machine.
These improved features include the MPS designed slide-out ink drawer for faster changeovers as standard on all machines, MPS E-sleeve with quick release, advanced job memory, M2M (Mark-to-Mark) register, extended web width to 580mm, improved robust rail units, standard finger bar safety protection, and ergonomic improvements.
For full servo driven automation of all print pressure settings, the Advanced Automation option is available.
MPS has added new features to the EF platform such as MPSConnect, operational and management dashboards, and user management/personalized performance.
MPSConnect provides ongoing performance monitoring of the printing press through sensor technology combined with the Internet of Things, for real-time data collection and 24x7 fact-based insights. From this collected data, MPS experts help customers make continuous performance improvements in waste, speed, and uptime.
