Meet the NELA Evolution





The new generation of Vision PunchBender with a speed of up to 320 plates per hour is ideal for fast CtP devices. A proven technology in Europe, NELA presented the Evolution inline at NEXPO for the first time in the US.

Operation:

Vdeo cameras detect the exposed register marks on the offset plates coming out of the plate processor. By employing state-of-the-art image processing and positioning units, the printing plates are brought into register-true positions that correspond with their type area. A register correction on the plates is possible over keyboard. The printing plates are punched and bent in one step in the same position before they are carefully placed into the stacking station.

Technical features:

1. Mechanical:
   • speed up to 320 plate / hour
   • optimized frame stability: design by usting finite elements
   • Modern design
   • For singlewide and doublewide offset printing plates
   • Video-controlled register punching and bending in one cycle
   • Cleaning and lubrication of punching die before each punching stroke guarantee long life of punch tools and precise, burr-free punch holes.
   • Register true alignment of offset plate via:
   • Video cameras by using imaged register targets, pin register and electronic edge register, adaptable for various requirements
   • 3-way alignement controlled by stepper motors
   • Integration of plate slitter is possible
2. Electronics and software:
