BOBST has won its 14th Golden Cylinder Award for technical innovation with its new Advanced Register Control for Precision Printing and ECG in Gravure.
These were judged ‘Best of the Best’ in the Technical Innovation category of the 2022 Golden Cylinder Awards. The coveted recognition was presented to Kurt Oegerli, Sales Manager, Bobst North America Inc., at the ceremony held on 26 September, during the AIMCAL 2022 R2R Conference.
The new advanced register control system consists of a new set-up and advanced functions of BOBST’s automatic register control Registron®. One of its main advantages is that the press operator can make a correction immediately after the colour is printed, without having to wait for the images to be displayed on the web viewer. An additional benefit for the efficiency of gravure technology is obtained during job changeovers: downtime for press set-up is greatly reduced and consequently also the waste that is generated in the process.
Furthermore, the new advanced function of the register control is the technical innovation that enables users to handle ECG printing in gravure in an easy and controlled way, by controlling the register on the whole printed surface, allowing users to provide a reel report of the register quality.
Commenting on the award, Jonathan Giubilato, Gravure Product Manager at BOBST said, ‘We are proud of this latest achievement that brings gravure to the forefront of the packaging industry transformation, and for the potential ahead to improve the operations of our gravure customers. The enhanced agility on print cycles enables the quality of gravure to also become sustainable and profitable in the case of short run production, bridging the gap that conventionally confined the quality of gravure to higher production volumes.’
