FUJIFILM introduces new advanced automation options for Onset X HS

Following the success of FUJIFILM and Inca Digital’s Onset X HS range, the ultra-high productivity large-format series now comes with automated technology to assist with long run production. It also slashes job changeover times and reduces the need for manual intervention between runs. Utilising Dual Flex and High Five robotics, the range includes a semi-automatic (manual load and automatic take-off) configuration and a fully automatic loading, take-off and stacking system, designed specifically to handle flexible and difficult materials, such as unconditioned corrugated board.

There are four automation options for the Onset X HS range – 3/4 semi-automatic system; a fully automatic material loading system; a fully automatic handling system for unconditioned corrugated board; and a fully automatic handling system with integrated flexible loading. 3/4 automation system allows for single sheet, multiple sheets or double-sided print in registration. The operator loads sheets onto a preload table and the system takes over the rest, stacking it on a pallet for simple removal of the printed media. What’s more, the system allows the operator immediate, direct access to the bed and registration points for quick switch between manual and semi-automatic work.
