Transcontinental Transmag and Seattle Times Tap Nela

The installation will start in December of 2008.

Another exciting plate automation project will start soon at the Seattle Times. Two NELA Evolution vision punch benders will vision register 600 plates per hour that have been imaged by two KRAUSE LS Jet CTP devices. The NELA plate sortation system with 54 single-wide storage bins will sort the plates based on the custom configuration specifically designed to fit the needs of the Seattle Times. The NELA Status center will monitor the entire system from the CTP to the processors, vision benders and plate sortation system. Plate count, preheat temperature, developer temperature, plate through-put speed and feedback to the front-end system are all displayed and managed on one screen. The anticipated completion date for this installation is November 2008.
