Heidelberg - Suprasetter A52 / A74

Key Technical Aspects:

Dimensions and Specifications : The Heidelberg Suprasetter A52/A74 measures 2,450 mm (96.5 in) in length, 1,450 mm (57.1 in) in width, and 1,800 mm (70.9 in) in height, with a weight of approximately 2,500 kg (5,512 lbs). The machine has a maximum plate size capacity of 1,070 mm x 800 mm (42.1 in x 31.5 in) and a minimum plate size capacity of 400 mm x 400 mm (15.7 in x 15.7 in).

Paper Handling : The Suprasetter A52/A74 features an automatic plate loading system, which can handle up to 600 plates per hour. The machine is equipped with a single plate cassette, which can hold up to 100 plates. The plate loading system is designed for efficient and reliable plate handling, minimizing operator intervention and reducing production downtime.

Printing Unit : The Suprasetter A52/A74 uses a thermal imaging technology, which provides high-quality imaging at a resolution of 2,540 dpi. The machine has a maximum plate exposure speed of 340 seconds per plate, with an average production speed of 240 plates per hour.

Ink System : The Suprasetter A52/A74 does not use ink, as it is a thermal platesetter. Instead, it uses a thermal imaging head to expose the plate material, which is then developed and processed separately.

Plate Cylinder : The plate cylinder is a critical component of the Suprasetter A52/A74, responsible for holding and transporting the plate during the imaging process. The plate cylinder is designed for precise registration and accurate plate handling, ensuring high-quality plate production and minimizing waste.
