BST eltromat International is promising its flexographic and gravure printing customers greater ease of use, a faster makeready process and less waste. The supplier of quality assurance systems for the web processing industries has added two new functions to its „regi_star 20“ register control system.
With the feature „RegiTouch“ machine operators, according to information from BST eltromat international during the proofing process or after roll changes that are not in the correct format. Register marks for the printing units to be controlled quickly and easily to the required positions. On the touchscreen of the „regi_star 20“ button to select the register marks of the individual colours and move them to a defined area. As soon as the marks are in this area, the regi_star 20 recognises them and sets the register.
RegiTouch also works when the machine is stationary
According to the company from Bielefeld and Leopoldshöhe, RegiTouch also works when the machine is stationary. While the machine operator is setting the register, no material runs through the machine. Printing machine. The start-up waste is significantly reduced.
The intuitively described „regi_commander“ serves as a remote control for the regi_star 20. It is connected directly to the Printing units or installed at the tool stations of printing machines. Machine operators have access to all important control functions via the 4.3-inch control panel. Register deviations can be corrected quickly.
„For the first time, regi_commander makes the results of register control and the causes of deviations transparent for the machine operators directly at the printing units.“

Alarm symbols on the colour display indicate errors
The regi_commander provides the information on its Control panel alphanumerically and graphically. If the register deviations exceed the specified tolerances or if errors occur during mark recognition, the system warns the machine operator by displaying corresponding alarm symbols on the colour display.
In addition to the new functionalities mentioned above, the regi_star 20 also has a new Backup and restore function for order and system data. The system can be flexibly customised to individual customer requirements and is open to future requirements.
