Plugging the Gap
The Speedmaster CX 102 is Heidelbergs response to the ever
greater needs of the market and is already a resounding success.
Numerous technologies that were previously reserved for the Peak
Performance Class provide a real boost to the performance of the
new flagship press in the 102 series. This all-rounder also allows
flexible configuration for virtually any application. All this
makes the Speedmaster CX 102 an attractive unit for packaging,
label and industrial commercial printers.
The Speedmaster CX 102 turned heads when it was unveiled to the world at IPEX 2010 in Birmingham, UK. Since then, more and more print shops have seen the benefits of this press. Numerous customers from all over the world have already ordered the new press from Heidelberg and demand continues to grow unabated. "The Speedmaster CX 102 is an overwhelming success that shows we've understood many customers' current needs and requirements," says a delighted Rainer Wolf, Product Manager at Heidelberg. "It's the right press at the right time, as it offers excellent value for money and gives large numbers of print shops immense opportunities to develop and expand their industrial production operations."
The best of two worlds. There's no doubt about it - developers at Heidelberg have scored a bull's eye. With a maximum speed of 16,500 sheets per hour, the new press lies exactly between the Speedmaster CD 102 and XL 105 models. The Speedmaster CX 102 is also mid-way between the two when it comes to the technology. The new model is based on the proven Speedmaster CD 102 platform. Numerous high-performance components have been borrowed from the XL 105 and were incorporated into the press design from the very outset. The Speedmaster CX 102 is equipped with the dynamic sheet brake and the fully automated Preset Plus Feeder and Preset Plus Delivery. And it also features a more robust printing unit construction that prevents disruptive vibrations and ensures smooth, reliable sheet travel even at maximum speed. The gripper system and cylinder bearings also draw on peak performance technologies that were previously reserved exclusively for the XL series.
