Benefits
High speed system for maximum productivity
The fastest CTP system on the market when used with Superia PRO-VN plates. Able to output up to 400 high quality plates per hour at 1270dpi, the Luxel News VMAX delivers ultra-fast imaging speeds with high precision.
Ultra-reliable for optimum efficiency and minimal downtime
System reliability is optimised through a reduction in unnecessary components and an almost maintenance-free optics system. Plate exposure can continue while the trolley is being changed, ensuring maximum up-time.
Scalable, modular design for increased flexibility
Available in both semi-automatic and fully automatic versions, the system is scalable so can be upgraded and expanded as production requirements change. It can also be installed with a processor, punch and bender inline for optimal efficiency.
Various automation options
An autoloader adds further automation with highly reliable plate and interleaf paper handling. The ability to include two autoloaders inline means that up to 6,000 plates can be made available for automated production. The option of a pallet loading cassette makes it possible to load plates directly from a pallet, for ultimate production efficiency.
Lower total cost of ownership for maximum value
The violet Luxel News VMAX system represents exceptional value with its overall low cost of ownership and ease of use. This is further guaranteed through the ultra-high reliability of the system and low risk of failure, as well as the ability to carry out remote diagnostics.
