About Oktoflex Premium Macchina da stampa flessografica

Oktoflex Premium è una macchina da stampa flessografica progettata per la stampa su materiali in bobina come carta, film di BOPP, PET e polietilene. La macchina offre una larghezza di stampa da 500 a 1200 millimetri e una velocità di stampa fino a 450 metri al minuto, e funziona con inchiostri a base solvente o a base acqua. La macchina è composta da oltre 22.000 componenti. I pannelli di controllo e le aree di ispezione, disposti in modo ergonomico, sono integrati nella carrozzeria con un elevato contrasto, così due operatori possono lavorare con un accesso agevole. Le proporzioni seguono la sezione aurea e la simmetria.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The OKTOFLEX PREMIUM flexographic press is the result of a thoughtful and comprehensive design-based product development project. The final design reflects the 27 years of experience accumulated by Varga-Flexo Ltd. The objective of the design was to find an optimal connection between man and machine in regard to its operation, handling, maintenance and servicing. This formally, visually and functionally integrated system was created in accordance with the principles of Industry 4.0.

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.
