Alpha 8

Product Details

Alpha 8 is M&R’s exciting new take on the oval-shaped press. It’s modular and expandable—and can be configured for almost any production requirement. Since Alpha 8’s oval shape takes up less floor space than comparable carousel presses, it makes more efficient use of available production area. This also allows the Alpha 8 to fit into spots where no carousel press could. Alpha 8 is available in 3 models: Alpha 8 5070, Alpha 8 6080, and Alpha 8 80110. These offer maximum image areas of 50 x 70 cm (20” x 28”), 60 x 84 cm (24” x 33”) and 80 x 110 cm (31.5” x 43.5"), respectively. Double-index mode on alternating printheads can produce images up to 99 cm x 70 cm (39” x 28”) on the 5070, 109 cm x 84 cm (43” x 33”) on the 6080, and 114 x 110 cm (45" x 43.5") on the 80110. The 8-station Base/Drive Module supports up to four printheads, while M&R’s Plug & Print™ modular design provides for expansion—in six-station increments—up to 62 stations on Alpha 8 5070 & 6080, and up to 50 stations on Alpha 8 80110. Alpha 8’s digital touch-screen control panel with icon-based labeling can display information and commands in numerous languages, simplifying press operation and training anywhere in the world.

Alpha 8 incorporates a sophisticated servo-drive indexing system that combines extremely high speed with smooth operation and precise control. It also incorporates multiple-indexing capability, which allows virtually unlimited load/unload scenarios.
