Finishing equipment manufacturer A B Graphic International (ABG) is developing automated high-speed finishing for the HP Indigo V12 digital press.

The firm is developing Digicon Series 3 automation modules to deliver high-speed finishing for the recently launched HP digital press.

The integrated modules will include an auto die-cassette system that could load up to 10 die plates while reducing downtime and offer automatic pre-positioning of the die-cut.

ABG will also provide a unique buffer system and 100% print inspection; a nonstop turret rewinding module featuring tension control system; and an advanced JDF/JMF technology enabling automatic make-ready of new jobs.

The firm will also work on providing non-stop waste handling module with an automatic waste matrix extraction and collection for the HP press.

ABG sales director Matt Burton said: “With these new modules, every part of our machine is built to increase efficiency, minimise downtime, reduce waste and guarantee superior results.”
