Automation on Heidelberg’s XL VLF Series Presses Achieves Systematically Shorter Makeready Times

• A single-suction belt feeder that is a zero-makeready element – air settings are preset automatically and no rollers or hold down elements need to be set.

• The proven ink fountain liner that enables fast, clean ink changes as the operator doesn’t have to wipe down each fountain with a rag.

• Fully automatic plate changing – on a straight press, all plates are changed in less than 2.5 minutes
