Mercury
Fully digital servomotor control for offset lithography
The Mercury system utilizes digital servomotors – each with its own built-in microprocessor – to set ink keys with precision and speed.
At the console, the operator uses a touch-screen display to make critical inking adjustments in seconds. Even operators with limited pressroom experience can complete color make-ready with precision similar to the most experiences operators. By enabling a shorter make-ready, the Mercury system minimizes wasted materials and unproductive press time.
Key Features
Full control of each ink key from touch screen display
Modular design for easy service
Bi-directional status check ensures reliable motor function on every move
Servo built-in intelligence automatically counteracts mechanical backlash to sustain a reliable position
Handles non-linear response, programmable for less than 1% “fine” control over light coverages
Optional CIP pre-setting delivers faster, more accurate color make-ready
Optional closed-loop connections to Clarios spectral measuring system
