Feature
KBA Rapida 106 Press
web printing, die-cutting solutions, workflow solutions, metal
decorating and the majority of banknote printing worldwide.
Because of its unique automation solutions, such as a
sidelay-free infeed DriveTronic SIS, job changes and media
handling are extremely efficient. Quality management also
plays a key role – and even includes inline PDF comparisons.
Other unique features are simultaneous plate changing with
its DriveTronic SPC, Flying JobChange within a few seconds,
and its AniloxLoader with DriveTronic SFC.
One example that caught my eye was the first KBA LED-UV
installation at Cedar Graphics in Hiawatha, Iowa, that has
doubled productivity and strengthened its environmental
status. “The driving force in our decision to purchase the
KBA Rapida 106 press was its productivity and its LED-UV
capabilities,” said Hassan
Igram, CEO of Cedar Graph-
ics. “We’re anticipating a
plethora of benefits for our
company and our customers,
including twice the productiv-
i t y, imp rov ing and
streamlining our workflow,
delivering the highest quality
day after day, servicing our
existing diverse group of cus-
tomers with new specialty
work, and supporting our
own business growth. We felt
that KBA offered us unique
print features that no one
else could offer, such as KBA
SIS (Sensoric Infeed System)
making super-fast press
speeds possible, as well as
KBA Plate Ident that recog-
nizes and registers plates
and automatically presets job
information, thus preventing errors while saving time and
money. We anticipate that LED-UV will become the next big
trend, so we want to stay ahead of our competition.”
