RFP 190000001060 Attachment 1 Product Specifications.docx

This is a Product Specifications attachment from RFP 190000001060, detailing requirements for a platemounter system. The platemounter is designed to mount printing plates quickly and accurately onto sleeves or cylinders with pneumatic operation and high-resolution imaging capabilities. Key features include two 17-inch color TFT monitors, dual LED "super-bright" lighting, high-resolution color cameras with autofocus, bearing block mounts suitable for microdot register marks, and a rigid steel construction. The system accommodates both single-press and multi-press configurations with a swivel plate bed that rises to accommodate larger circumference cylinders and sleeves. The equipment includes fine registration adjusting wheels, a quick-release bar and foot switch mechanism, cross-hair monitor controls, and recalibration capabilities without machine disassembly. The design prioritizes operator safety with cameras housed in a robust dust-free steel case and accommodates both right and left-handed operators.

The platemounter features a plate-bed design that keeps operator hands free during the mounting process, preventing premature plate adhesion until perfect registration is achieved. The system utilizes special wheels for camera repositioning and includes a brake mechanism to hold cylinders and sleeves stationary during tape application. The equipment specifications emphasize ease of use, durability with long-life LED lighting and autofocus cameras requiring no adjustment, and precision plate registration through fine-tuning mechanisms on both sides of the plate bed. The system is engineered with an integrated support frame for stability and is capable of servicing multiple press makes and models depending on configuration requirements.
