Transcontinental Invests in Three MAN Roland Presses for its First U.S. Newspaper Facility

Joining the PECOM press control system in Transcontinental’s new plant will be an array of production automation. MAN Roland’s AUROLOAD 2.1 — an advanced automatic reel loading system — will keep the presses stocked. Webbing up will be handled by WEBSYS, MAN Roland’s automatic web lead-in system. And the pressmaker’s TECOSYS automatic tension control system will optimize web flow. Also: COLORMAN XXLs are shaftless machines, with a separate digitally directed motor dedicated to each printing couple.
