Huge Oval press!!!

[jsheridan]

What kind? Can't leave us hanging without giving some details on it!

After the paper is signed and hands are shaken, I'll let you know.

Have a dryer on each end and run two jobs at once. Potentially

Double index.. two loaders run front and backs at the same time

Done that about 25 ys ago on a Precision versa-oval. Print run was 3 million f/b

Its pretty impressive to see these size machines in operation. Though I think they should make sure their 12 color round presses work the way they should.....BANG! first shot fired

There is a big ass Alpha8 (30 plus stations) within an hour and a half of me that I've heard won't fit in my shop (Yes I considered taking a look but price tag way to much)

I think you picked the wrong graphic.

This was the one you were wanting:

Nope, very satisfied with my selected graphic.

Is there a faulty 12-color out there somewhere?   I haven't exactly been doing any investigative research on the equipment manufacturers recently but it certainly matters to potential buyers if there is something hanging out there that isn't right. 

Oh, that sig line quote is classic

Probably should be left for another post rather than derail this one....ooops

Don't worry the phone will ring in a few. LOL

If man builds it there are bound to be one or two mistakes made now and then, if you've never made a mistake your in a club that's very very very small .  Now as far as the oval press don't care who makes them, but looks like they could save tons of room now that I really look at them.

Maybe Danny or Rich can chime in.

Can you have a no-shirt skip sensor in the middle of the oval, or two shirt skip sensors? if technically you wanted to print two different designs at a time on them? My guys won't run without the skip sensor, love to take a stretch their backs/take a drink in the middle of long runs.

I think M&R holds the patent on the shirt sensor and I am not aware of anybody else offering them . . .

Roq has a function in their presses where you can program the press to print either odd or even pallets..... So you can setup job a on the even pallets, and setup job b on the odd pallets and run two jobs at the same time. There's a couple companies in europe with Roq's doing this daily. Some of them are running 4 jobs on the same auto at the same time. Having the oval to double index gives you lots of flexibility. Like mentioned you can have 4 operators on the one press printing double the speed or running multiple jobs at once. Another feature we love about the oval is being able to flash between any print head and having the ability to run 10 flashes on the machine at once(we have had 6 flashes on the press at one time doing HSA work)

I just deleted some posts. if it's not contributing to the topic, please start another thread with the thoughts/comments. . .

While I'm sure the press ain't cheap, twenty flashes adds up too!


And that's like what, 1200 amps? Hope they aren't on PG&E peak pricing...

i know if a couple other presses that have them --they maybe just under the lawyer radar.  its amazing that a simple proximity switch can be patented, for application alone .
