Komori Lithrone LSX640 With Coater to be Introduced at Drupa

The Lithrone SX40 has a new maximum running speed of 18,000 sph. The new higher speed fully automatic plate change

(F-APC) with non stop plate removal, helps increase the speed for job to job changeover, essential for busy print houses handling various run lengths. The Lithrone SX40 can change 6 plates in under two minutes, enabling, along with KHS-AI, a 35% reduction in job-to-job-changeover time. From the end of production on one job to an OK sheet on the next job it takes just 6 ¼ minutes. The automated coater plate change increases speed, precision and ease of use. All controls are integrated and automatic through the new PQC console’s touch screen. The new KHS-AI fast print start-up system has a self-learning function which progressively updates all press settings.
