About Oktoflex Premium Fleksografinė spausdinimo mašina

Oktoflex Premium – tai fleksografinė spausdinimo mašina, skirta spausdinti ant ritininių medžiagų, tokių kaip popierius, BOPP, PET ir polietileno plėvelės. Mašina užtikrina 500–1200 milimetrų spausdinimo plotį ir iki 450 metrų per minutę spausdinimo greitį, taip pat veikia su tirpiklinių arba vandens pagrindo dažais. Įrenginys pagamintas iš daugiau nei 22 000 dalių. Ergonomiškai išdėstyti valdymo pultai ir kontrolės zonos integruoti į korpusą su dideliu kontrastu, todėl du operatoriai gali dirbti turėdami aiškią prieigą. Proporcijos atitinka aukso pjūvį ir simetriją.

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.
