General specifications

Technology

830 nm thermal imaging platesetter, fully or semiautomatic, external drum

Load/unload systems

• ContinuousLoad: 

Semiautomated; as one plate is imaged, another is placed on standby for automatic loading as soon as 
the drum unloads.

• Single-cassette unit (SCU) option: 

Fully automated; holds up to 60 plates (0.3 mm) of the same size and thickness with slip sheets 
Functions are identical to multi-cassette unit.

• Multi-cassette unit (MCU) option: 

Fully automated; holds up to 180 plates in 3 cassettes, each containing up to 60 plates (0.3 mm) of the 
same size and thickness with slip sheets. The required cassette is automatically selected according to 
the job definition. Slip sheets can be removed from the storage bin while the platesetter is running. 

Punch option

Can be configured with up to 6 punches for single, double, and triple holes, ensuring precise image-to-
punch and plate-to-plate registration. More than 300 punch heads are available.  
ContinuousLoad configuration: Optional Punch conveyor available with up to 6 punches.
