FAMM 3.0 FULLY AUTOMATIC FLEXO PLATE MOUNTING MACHINE Width [inch] Description The FAMM 3.0 is the next generation fully automatic mounter that continues to change the dynamics in mounting departments, a change that first started in 2005 with the ground-breaking technology of the original FAMM. This machine is the most advanced automatic mounting solution that provides incomparable speed, repeatability and accuracy. It has been developed for our customers who demand the highest standards and aim in an optimized and highly efficient pre-press workflow, that allows an enormous increase in their...

MOUNTING MACHINES Unique Features Robotic manipulator Linear motors The pick-up unit is completely re-designed and it is used to transfer the plate from the conveyor belt to the mounting position. Using robotics the flexo plate is automatically positioned with an accuracy of 2 microns The Ultra HD cameras move automatically into position using the linear motors which are able to accelerate with 10ms/2. Conveyor back-light Second pressure roller The new split conveyor belt is able to identify the plate from the bottom and to read QR codes. The conveyor back light and laser line allows plates to...

FAMM 3.0 Unique Features Accuracy of 2 microns The FAMM 3.0 uses the patented Image Recognition software that measures the exact position of the mounting marks. The robotic manipulator uses these measurements to position the flexo plate with an unmatched accuracy of 2 microns. Updated software The updated software allows more synchronous movements and it features a more intuitive user interface. Automatic mandrel rotation When the printing plate is positioned accurately and within the chosen tolerance, the cylinder moves up and the pressure roller fixates the plate. The cylinder rotates automatically...

MOUNTING MACHINES Mounting Marks Specifications The Automatic SAMM and the Fully Automatic FAMM use the patented Image Recognition to identify the mounting marks and based on them, position the flexo plate accurately. Compatible mode Free space around target Positive non-dot shapes Damaged targets* Semi Auto Target top size** Plate type See specs of the original target * It is possible to mount damaged targets using the Semi-Automatic mode. The operator will have to locate the target once, after that the FAMM/SAMM will mount these plates automatically. Also the quality check after mounting is...

Ground-breaking Innovation  Fully automatic tape application  Robotic loading of flexo plates  Robotic loading/unloading of sleeves The operator places the Tech Cart inside the ROBOTAM area and selects a job from the control console. The Robot will then take the first sleeve and apply tape automatically. Following, it will load the taped sleeve on the FAMM 3.0. The plate loader (ROBOPLATE) contains the required plates for the specific job. The second robotic unit will handle the plates and place them on the conveyor belt. Then, the robotic manipulator of the FAMM 3.0 will take the first plate...

MOUNTING MACHINES Workflow 4.0 with Fully Automatic Tape Application & Mounting 1. Sleeve Storage System TECH SLEEVES Recommended for use with bridge and plate sleeves 2. Robotic Taping & Mounting 3. Printing press (outsourced service) Using cutting-edge technology, we created Workflow 4.0 which guarantees the best efficiency in the pre-press department enabling consistent, fast and high-quality printing. AV Flexologic produces the equipment needed during every step of the process. 1. The workflow starts with retrieving the Tech Sleeves from a Semi-Automatic vertical Sleeve Storage System, which...

SAMM 2.0 AUTOMATIC FLEXO PLATE MOUNTING MACHINE Width [inch] Description The patented SAMM 2.0 is AV Flexologic’s solution to common industry trends. Building on 15+ years of experience with automatic mounting machines using vision technology, the SAMM and FAMM are the most accurate and fastest mounting machines in the world. The Automatic SAMM 2.0 mounts flexo plates onto sleeves with unmatched accuracy, repeatability and speed. Workflow The operator only needs to preposition roughly the flexo plate with the help of the laser pointers. Then the machine takes over and positions the flexo plate...

MOUNTING MACHINES Unique Features Image Recognition (patented) The image recognition system measures the exact positions of the mounting marks and thus how accurately the printing plate is fixed on the sleeve. The tolerance of the report settings determines whether a plate is judged as mounted ‘OK’ or ‘NOT OK’. Pressure Roller The pressure roller ensures even mounting, without any air inclusions and bubbles. The roller is used to apply the plates evenly over the carrier such as a sleeve, cylinder or Mylar. The use of the pressure roller eliminates the typical ‘handrolling’. The feature saves...

MOM DD+ Pro MOTORIZED FLEXO PLATE MOUNTING MACHINE Width [inch] Description The MOM DD+ Pro is our high-end motorized mounting machine, which is the flexo industry standard for manual positioning of plates. Key options are available such as image recognition, a tape applicator, automatic W&H Easyreg detection, and a digital TIR measuring system, which can also map the full surface of the sleeve. The MOM DD+ Pro comes standard with an open-cell pressure roller. Workflow The operator places the flexo plate onto the table which has an initial position indicated by laser pointers. After positioning...
