AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing decorator machines for printing on cylindrical structures suffer from misregistration issues that require manual correction, leading to inefficiencies and downtime during the printing process.

Method used

A decorator system equipped with servomotors and encoders allows independent control over inker motion, enabling real-time adjustments of printing plate cylinder positions to correct misregistration without stopping the printing process.

Benefits of technology

Reduces downtime by 50% for circumferential register adjustments and up to 90% for registration errors, allowing continuous printing with improved image alignment on cylindrical containers.
