Uflex’s robotic plant in Noida for manufacturing rotogravure cylinders is a modern and sophisticated laser engraving setup, which produces around 65 rotogravure cylinders a day. Fully environment-controlled, the automated system comprises three zones: A, B and C. Zones A and B are no less than the ICU of a hospital, closely monitoring not only the precise engraving of the cylinders, but also auto-controlling the zones in terms of temperature, dust particle size and much more. The two specially programmed robots in Zones A and B work relentlessly and sequentially carrying the cylinders in and out of separate units within the New FX2 Laser system for processes like electric degreasing, nickel plating, copper plating, copper grinding, ultrasonic cleansing, lacquer coating and drying, through Zone C delivering the final cylinders ready for customers to use.

The first few days at drupa have been busy and well attended. Total occupied exhibition space has been reduced, to the delight of the software and paper vendors who finally got rid of the unpopular upper floors in Hall 7.

The industry’s multinational players appear to be upbeat, and there are many new developments to be discovered in all printing segments. From Asia, several new exhibitors are showcasing CtP systems, diecutters, cutting and milling plotters, curing systems and consumables.
