RPM ESP press

Just ran across this video, i'm not really sure what to think of it, but it looks cool as hell. Wonder what the indexing speed would be

cool idea.  Would be worried about registration

[Homer]

with my luck, I'd be walking by and it would shoot out and knock me in the nuts.

[T Shirt Farmer]

ROTFLMAO

[GraphicDisorder]

I could see some uses, but damn is that slow.

[TCT]

Think it is a cool idea, but I would think reg issues down the line.

[ffokazak]

Not sure if I see any real world benefit to this...

[Gilligan]

Should be able to park into some registration gates that could take care of that.

I'm with you Homie... someone is gonna get punched in the face!

[ZooCity]

I want to see the gag reel for this...only matter of time until someone gets hit in the junk.

[GaryG]

I have to say good for Rick!
Hope it works well for him, great Guy.

[RICK STEFANICK]

Great idea rick. INNOVATIVE.

[T Shirt Farmer]

I think OSHA would have problem with pinch points with no guards, when the pallet is extended the gap between trailing edge of pallet and front edge of screen has a big gap.

Interesting for sure, seem like to many moving parts on a press that already has to many moving parts, I see what they are trying to do in a market where one or two company's holds the patent on a very nice piece of equipment that's lets you use more of your press's printheads.

So did he just say to combine this with an old Arrow Multi-printer, and you can turn your 10-color into a 20-color? Because that's what it sounded like. (Okay, maybe not that exactly... but he said something similar, right? )

Looks like a lot of interesting potential here, for the right people/situations.

I wonder if the flash can move at least as fast a Flashback, since accomplishes about the same thing (for flashing). I wonder what kind of production rates this thing could be capable of... and of course, is registration rock-solid...

[Gilligan]

Main problem I see is that you still need a shuttle IR flash if you want to flash and print in the same head.  Otherwise there is no cool down ability.

So that has that station sticking out like 6+ feet from the press.  Maybe that works in some bigger spaces, but it would still be awkward.

But hey, I'm all for new innovative ideas like this!
