SnapReg

Automatic Register

Advanced Control of Side and Circumferential Color-to-Color Register for Offset Web Press

Maximum Features
Every SnapReg includes an automated transport for the compact camera, asquare-dance anti-piling feature, and the ability to measure register on both edges of the web to detect plate cocking or other problems. These advanced features are on top of a rock-solid automatic register algorithm that directly controls the register motors on your press. SnapReg is designed to make your operators’ lives as simple and easy as possible.

Accuracy without compromise
SnapReg utilizes micromarks as small as 0.2 mm, but the high-resolution camera can use these tiny marks to control register precisely, reaching good register from a cold start-up within 250 impressions on average. SnapReg is a compact and rugged system, allowing fl exibility in placement when retrofi tting an existing press. Ideal placement is close to the printing units, to prevent any additional paper waste. SnapReg has very simple and clear user controls, and the automated transport means your operators can control everything directly from the main interface. In the >10 years that GMI has been selling SnapReg, we have never hada single camera failure in the fi eld except due to externally-caused damage – this is a system you can truly rely on!
