Key Technical Aspects:

Dimensions and Specifications : The Heidelberg SBG has an approximate footprint of 3.50 m (L) x 2.00 m (W) x 1.85 m (H) and weighs around 5,300 kg. It operates on a three-phase industrial power supply with a consumption of 5.5–6.5 kW. The machine features a heavy-duty mechanical cylinder drive with flywheel transmission and electromechanical operator controls for manual pressure and ink adjustments.

Paper Handling : The press accommodates a maximum paper size of 56 x 77 cm (22 x 30 inches) and a minimum size of 21 x 28 cm, with a substrate thickness range of 0.04 mm to 0.60 mm. It includes an automatic single-sheet feeder with a mechanical gripper transport system and a high-pile delivery for continuous sheet output. High-precision mechanical grippers and side lays ensure accurate sheet alignment during operation.

Printing Unit : The Heidelberg SBG utilizes an automatic cylinder letterpress and die-cutting system with a reciprocating flat bed and impression cylinder. The maximum printing and die-cutting area is approximately 54 x 76 cm, supporting applications such as letterpress printing, embossing, creasing, perforating, and foil stamping. The machine achieves speeds of up to 4,600 sheets per hour, making it suitable for high-volume production.

Ink System : The press is equipped with an oscillating cylinder inking unit featuring multiple distribution rollers for consistent ink application in printing versions. The system ensures uniform ink transfer for high-quality letterpress output.

Plate Cylinder : The Heidelberg SBG employs the standard Heidelberg cylinder chase locking system for secure plate mounting. This system provides reliable form locking, ensuring precise registration and stability during high-speed operations.
