HEIDELBERG , GERMANY— Heidelberg introduces  new-generation Speedmaster SX 102 . This press is aimed primarily at commercial print shops that require a high level of productivity and top-quality perfecting printing. The new Speedmaster SX 102 is designed as a scalable press. Depending on the range of applications and the output/automation requirements, the basic model -already equipped with the tried-and-tested HEIDELBERG perfecting technology- can be ordered with many other assistance systems transferred from Speedmaster XL technology. These include Intellistart 3, Intelliline, Intellirun, Wash Assistant, Powder Assistant, and many more besides. If required, the configuration can be extended all the way through to Push to Stop for autonomous printing. With the help of artificial intelligence, the digital assistance systems also achieve a further significant reduction in the number of manual interventions by operators. Besides saving time, this also means there is less risk of errors. Thanks to the Prinect Press Center XL 3 and the Prinect workflow, the Speedmaster SX 102 can be fully integrated into a print shop’s overall workflow, which ensures efficient data management, precise presettings, up-to-date production data, and informative reports. The Preset Plus feeder and delivery have also been taken over from XL technology, along with further proven solutions. The maximum printing speed is 14,000 sheets per hour in perfecting mode. Typical areas of use range from brochures and commercial print products to inserts for pharmaceutical packaging, and therefore include applications involving very thin materials that need to be produced in a single pass.
