Shaftless printing machine

control delivers improved

performance and quality thanks
to AC890

Summary Benefits

Parker SSD Drives AC890 Modular Systems Drives were
selected when a large end-user print company wanted • Removal of mechanical line shafts
to upgrade their existing printing line. The integrated reducing maintenance and complexity
shaftless printing function blocks made it a simple task to
replace the mechanically linked line shafts with individual • Improve acceleration and deceleration
AC890 drives capable of precise synchronization and print speeds
registration adjustment to each section
• Improved changeover speeds
The inclusion of high performance brushless motors • Reduced waste on changeover
increased acceleration and deceleration rates allowing
greater production throughput and the electronic control • Integrated diagnostics and data handling
of the process simplified and reduced changeover times
considerably. • Web server delivering real-time
production and maintenance information
TS8000 HMI’s completed the transformation with an
integrated web-server and Ethernet connectivity, delivering • Registration mark detection and
real-time control and data capture and providing seamless synchronization INSIDE the drive
integration to other manufacturing systems.
