TUBEX – TubeMatrix Success Story
How customers use our automations
10 min saved
Up to 50% less waste
1:1 retrofit
The Challenge
Permanently rising material and energy costs, combined with increasing demands on print quality, are forcing tube and can printers to expand automation across prepress and pressroom. Manual plate mounting on existing print lines costs time, generates waste and depends on operator skill — at every job change.
The Solution
TUBEX invested in TubeMatrix© by LEHNER — a smart retrofit solution for existing tube and can printing lines. The new clamping bar system with integrated register sensors replaces existing clamping bars on a 1:1 basis. Operators gain a sensor system that displays the register position of the clamping bars and dramatically simplifies plate mounting — while preserving familiar machine handling.
The Results
Up to 10 minutes saved per clamping process. Setup waste and makeready time reduced by up to 50% at every job change. The time-consuming search for register is minimized, machine availability increases, and energy and material consumption drop immediately.
Conclusion
"This simply did not exist before." Peter Schatz, Head of Prepress & Print Service, TUBEX
Stop losing time to plate mix-ups.
