About Oktoflex Premium Fleksografski tiskarski stroj
Oktoflex Premium je fleksografski tiskarski stroj, zasnovan za tiskanje na materiale v zvitkih, kot so papir, BOPP, PET in polietilenske folije. Stroj ponuja tiskovno širino od 500 do 1200 milimetrov in hitrost tiskanja do 450 metrov na minuto ter deluje s tiskarskimi barvami na osnovi topil ali vode. Stroj je sestavljen iz več kot 22.000 delov. Ergonomsko razporejene nadzorne plošče in pregledna območja so z visokim kontrastom vgrajeni v ohišje, tako da lahko dva operaterja delata z jasnim dostopom. Proporci sledijo zlatemu rezu in simetriji.

- 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.
