France-based SMAG, a converting solutions manufacturer for label and flexible package printing, displayed its Digital Galaxie generation III module with slitting and rewinding processes at Xeikon Café this year. On show were also versatile finishing options of UV flexo, lamination, high-speed fl atbed hot foil and embossing, flatbed silkscreen printing, and semi-rotary diecutting. “Our goal at the Xeikon Café is to educate market players of the important role of label and packaging finishing when purchasing a digital machine,” said Laurent Gremmel of SMAG.

The Digital Galaxie machine modules are all equipped with B&R’s latest servo drive technology and linked via POWERLINK to each other and to a B&R Power Panel that serves as the central controller.
