About Oktoflex Premium Presse d'impression flexographique

Oktoflex Premium est une presse d'impression flexographique conçue pour l'impression sur matériaux en bobine tels que le papier, le BOPP, le PET et les films de polyéthylène. La presse offre une laize d'impression de 500 à 1200 millimètres et une vitesse d'impression pouvant atteindre 450 mètres par minute, et elle fonctionne avec des encres à base de solvant ou à base d'eau. La machine est constituée de plus de 22 000 pièces. Les pupitres de commande et les zones de contrôle, disposés de manière ergonomique, sont intégrés au carter avec un fort contraste, afin que deux opérateurs puissent travailler en disposant d'un accès dégagé. Les proportions respectent le nombre d'or et la symétrie.

Production Technology
The machine consists of more than 22,000 parts, not including electronics. We use wide range of materials and manufacturing technologies.
Design Challenge
The purpose of the design

The goal is to implement a designed casing machine type, the appearance of which is in line with the high technical content and quality represented by our machines. The feeling of performance and quality can only be authentically conveyed with design tools and high aesthetic value, for this purpose we have designed our new machine. Within the printing industry, we want to offer a slightly forward-looking and attractive alternative for customers.
Research
The reason for the development

Within machine builders in general the same trends can be observed. The productivity, quality, and reliability of machines are similar and high, so manufacturers are increasing the automation of their machines, using Industry 4.0 solutions, and focusing on an ever-higher level of design. Design tools have become indispensable. This is also true in the field of industrial software, and now includes the design of related services with a special focus on service. Without design, there is no truly successful product in the industry either.
Inspiration
There were no inspirations. We used the golden ratio and the ergonomics rules, and we made lot of symmetry for getting more harmonic results.
Project Duration
The project started in 2015 in Budapest Hungary and finished in January 2019.
Operation Flow
In this industry it is all about optimal human machine collaboration. An industrial software is really good if it is almost invisible during use, so it is not a problem to use at all and the operator does not even think about the software itself, but can focus hundred percent on his or her job. The ergonomically arranged and clearly structured control panels together with the audit areas were neatly and with high contrast integrated into the housing. The system comes across as being generally very user friendly.
