General specifications

Technology 830 nm thermal imaging platesetter, fully or semiautomatic, external drum

Load/unload systems • ContinuousLoad:

Semiautomated; as one plate is imaged, another is placed on standby for automatic loading as soon as
the drum unloads.

• Single-cassette unit option:
Fully automated; unit holds up to 60 plates with slip sheets (plates of same size and thickness).

Functions are identical to multi-cassette unit.

• Multi-cassette unit option:

Fully automated; unit holds up to 180 plates in 3 cassettes, each cassette containing at least 60 plates
of the same size and thickness. The required cassette is automatically selected according to the job

denition. The MCU automatically loads and unloads plates and removes slip sheets. Slip sheets can
be removed from the storage bin while the platesetter is running.
