rotary press |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia | 0.04 sec. |
rotary pressPrinting press that prints on paper passing between a supporting cylinder and a cylinder containing the printing plates. In contrast, the flatbed press has a flat printing surface. The rotary press is used mainly in high-speed, web-fed operations in which the press takes paper from a roll, as in newspaper printing. Many of these large presses not only print as many as four colours but also cut and fold and bind in a cover, all in one continuous automatic process. Paper passes through some presses at nearly 20 mph (30 kph); large presses can print up to 60,000 copies of 128 standard-size pages in an hour. See also R. Hoe. How to thank TFD for its existence?

The AUMA rotary press is characterized by its continuous production, and is said to provide constant output quality. Though a vertical-clamp rotary press costs 35% more than a stationary one, takes up more space, and requires two bottom molds (adding 40% to tool costs), it needs only one $200,000-240,000 robot instead of two to load and unload and has over 30% shorter loading cycle, according to Rudi Loehl, marketing manager for Battenfeld of America. From Pilgrim's Progress and the development of the rotary press to modern Bible translations, books, gifts, CD-ROM's and the Internet, Thomas Nelson has become the world's largest Christian content provider. |
