Sheetfed Presses--Big Performance, Small Packages

Fred Kirpec, general manager of Sakurai USA, believes trends in automation, faster makereadies and versatility of presses are fueling the requirements of companies that manufacture small-format sheetfed presses. Sakurai has developed automation of every area of its sheetfed presses: An automatic perfector includes push-button changeover. The in-feed system has been enhanced with controls that allow the makeready of the feed-board to be set up quickly. Tools are not required for the set up of the feeder or the feed-board.
