X-STREAM 3680
Machine Characteristics
- The X-Stream 3680 was developed in cooperation with digital printing machine manufacturers. This smart laminator brings the possibility of inline connection for high-productivity and automatized book production sites.
- For offline lamination it offers high level comfort to the operator when working with several smaller jobs printed digitally.
- One of the key design requirements was easy operation and minimal operator intervention.
- The X-Stream 3680 has a variety of useful software functions which avoid wasting sheets and minimize operator’s mistakes.
- Inline connection with the printer including both-ways communication is solved individually.
Basic configuration
Feeder:
- Intelligent Bottom Suction Feeder ready for inline connection.
- Sheet overlap sensor for protection of pressure roller from film sticking
in case of a mis-feed.
Laminating Unit:
- Adjustable distance stoppers for lamination unit to enable processing thick substrates
and windows lamination. - Air shaft for 3″ reel core laminating film.
- Adjustable spread roller for perfect smoothing of difficult film before lamination roller.
- Two-zones electro resistive heating of laminating cylinder.
- Temperature sensors inside the cylinder for extremely precise regulation.
- Teflon pressure roller with non-sticking surface to reduce film or duplex print marking
on the roller surface and minimize cleaning effort.
Separator & Delivery:
- Powerful pneumatic pressure system to ensure excellent laminating result.
- Decurling unit consisting of bar and roller with position control to move the snapping moment automatically when the position of decurler is changed.
- Built-in perforator to enable sheet separation, placed behind pull rollers to avoid web breaking.
- Comfortable pull roller activation from touch screen.
- Pneumatic driven separation roller for reliable snapping at high speed.
- Adjustable speed of snapping roller helps to reach perfect separation result of difficult jobs.
- Skewing wheel for fine adjustment of snapping to avoid film flagging.
- B2 jogging table.
SW functions included
- Zero overlap possibility for processing thick substrates.
- Check the sheet is really loaded.
- Automatic press-on of the pressure roller.
- Stop on the sheet overlap to avoid wasted sheets.
- Automatic repair of gap between sheets (no wasted sheets).
- Automatic repair of gap between sheets (no wasted sheets).
- Automatic pressure and temperature drop detection.
- Automatic readjusting of the snapping unit when using decurling bar.
- Sensor for sheet separation detection and jam detection.
- End of job function for easy rewind of film.
- Job setting memory.
- Built-in internet connectivity for service support.
Options
- Sheet preheater to increase durability and adhesion of lamination.
- PUR pressure roller for longer roller life.
- Bridge conveyor for connectivity to printing machine.
- White sheets inserter adds a few white sheets before stopping or finishing a job – resulting in completion of jobs, through the laminator, with no single sheet damaged.
- Film slitter to cut film to the requested width.
- Additional On roll perforator.
- Integrated Effect foiling device (OTF) with possibility to apply PSA film too.
- 1″ unwinding shaft for effect foiling.
- Dual unwinding shaft.
- Autopilot to monitor and control supply of paper and film. Useful in workshops where one person operates more than one machine.
- Antistatic bar removes static charge from the separator to avoid thin sheets wrapping onto the rollers.
- Air ionizer for smooth sheets unloading without static charge.
- Automatic (pneumatic) skew wheel enables 3 modes of work and therefore increases
reliability of separation when processing wide range of jobs. Good to use for long sheets.
Setting is from touch screen, not manually. - Code reader receiving job information from the code printed on the sheet and controlling the machine accordingly.
- Batch separation module at delivery for easy jobs handling.
