Modern flexographic printing demands tighter registration, faster changeovers, and consistent repeatability across a wide range of substrates. A flexo gearless machine eliminates conventional gear trains by using independent servo motors on each print deck, giving operators precise digital control over plate cylinder position and impression pressure. This design dramatically reduces mechanical wear, vibration, and backlash while improving print quality at higher speeds. Our range includes the Central impression gearless flexo press, which uses a single large central drum to hold the substrate stable during multi-color printing. For converters handling thicker or more rigid materials, the Gearless stack flexo press offers independent color stations arranged vertically, making it easier to access each deck and adapt to different repeat lengths. The Gearless inline flexo press positions print units in a linear layout, which is ideal for integration with downstream finishing equipment such as die-cutting, lamination, and sheeting. For high-volume label and flexible packaging production, the High speed gearless flexo press reaches production speeds of up to 400 meters per minute while maintaining precise color-to-color registration. Each configuration is engineered with the same core servo-driven platform, ensuring compatibility with sleeve technology, quick-change tooling, and modern workflow systems.
The Flexo Gearless Machine is built for converters who require repeatable high-definition printing on film, paper, foil, and laminate structures. Its servo-controlled print cylinders allow infinite repeat length adjustment without changing gears, reducing setup time from hours to minutes. The machine frame is constructed from stress-relieved cast iron and high-rigidity steel side plates to dampen vibration at high operating speeds. Closed-loop tension control with load cells maintains consistent web tension from unwind to rewind, while pre-registration cameras and automatic print sleeve positioning reduce material waste during job changeovers.
