ThermoFlexX plans to use Labelexpo Europe 2015 to unveil recently developed features on a new digital flexo plate imager that will enable significant improvements and which the company says will be unique at the exhibition amongst rival manufacturers. The new features were not revealed at the June launch of the redesigned ThermoFlexX 60 and for now ThermoFlexX is keeping specific details under wraps.

“We will demonstrate a completely new imager on the Xeikon/ThermoFlexX stand and this will incorporate features which are not even offered on the new ThermoFlexX 60 or our top-of-the-range ThermoFlexX 80,” says Christophe Lievens, director sales and marketing for basysPrint and ThermoFlexX. “This latest development is part of our philosophy of ‘ongoing evolution’ in which we study in detail the limitations of systems available on the market, plus the requirements of the flexo industry and how these are likely to change in the future.

“We then set our R&D team to work! Our factory in Ypres combines a huge variety of expertise, with experts operating in optics, electronics, engineering, software, plates and flexo. We also work closely with other like-minded suppliers, such as Hybrid Software, who are totally committed to creating innovative solutions for the flexo industry. We expect to announce additional partnerships in this area in the near future.

“With these facilities and partners we are able to create highly effective solutions within relatively short time frames and to provide the market with groundbreaking technologies that have made ThermoFlexX a world leader in digital flexo plate output.”
