We have maximised the recent significant improvements in sleeve technology and combined these with certain innovative design features giving excellent stability and alignment and ensuring great ease of handling.

On the Tachys press, a large 1700 mm. drum gives a 250 - 650 mm. print repeat. A lowered position of the print decks keeps all print elements horizontal and allows better drying between the colours and good solvent exhaust.

Exceptional stability is provided by a solid base and structure - with 100 mm. thick cast iron monoblock side frames with unique access to the print deck.

Both the plate cylinder and anilox rolls operate with a sleeve system which becomes cantilevered only during changeover. Further stability is provided during sleeve changeover as when the bearing support moves out of the way on the plate cylinder, the anilox roller remains supported and vice versa.

The sleeves, which are removable from the operator side, are locked on the mandrel with a quick release system using no tools. This extremely accurate system has been developed using Ceruttti technology. The user has the option to select any brand of sleeve available in the market place.

The press is available either as a totally CNC machine with FNC-3000 system, or with the "FAST" motorised system for remote controlled deck positioning and pre-register with manual gear mesh.
