According to Bobst, the M5 is a flexible production tool which can be configured for label, flexible packaging and folding carton production.
In India, there are more than twenty installations of Bobst inline narrow and mid-web flexo and multi-process printing and converting machines, eight of which are M5 lines.
The machine has a fully integrated automation, the Bobst Digital Automation concept. It includes technologies such as DigitalFlexo for the automatic control of the printing pressure and register; DigiGap for the automatic control of the die-cutting pressure with substrate thickness reading, and ExcelPrint for automatic exchange of flexo print cylinders.
The M5 at the show has a configuration which includes several technologies of the Digital Automation program and will also run conforming to the REVO seven-colour extended colour gamut printing.
According to Bobst, the machine demonstrations of both label and flexible packaging applications will make printers and converters discover the extent of Bobst expertise in providing advanced and flexible production tools that can handle different job applications and run lengths in the most profitable way, delivering very fast turnaround and superior print and converting quality. Machine demonstrations will be run daily at 11, 12 noon, 2 pm, 3 pm and 4 pm.
