Direct Drive Technology Improves Flexo Printing Quality and Throughput

Direct Drive Technology Improves Flexo Printing Quality and Throughput The highest quality flexographic printing machines use direct drive rotary motors to control and synchronize the motion of the anilox roller and plate cylinder. Tom England, Kollmorgen's director of global product planning, explores the advantages in terms of machine assembly, maintenance, throughput, accuracy, operational costs and more. It's an exemplary case study on the benefits of direct drive for any machine that requires perfectly coordinated motion.
