Uflex- Think Lab collaboration ; advantage Uflex

Uflex on Monday  July 18 shook hands with M/s Think Lab, Japan and set up a fully automatic Robotic Laser Engraving Line for manufacturing rotogravure cylinders at the Noida facility in India. This move will help Uflex to offer infallible printing consistency to its converting clients. 

Major advantages associated with the rotogravure cylinders manufactured on the fully automatic robotic laser engraving line are:

⦁ Consistency in printing for flexible packaging;
⦁ More mileage from the cylinder;
⦁ Less ink consumption during printing operation as compared to conventional electromechanical engraving;
⦁ Production volumes have gone up from the erstwhile 180 cylinders per day to produce 240-250 cylinders;
⦁ The cylinders produced are dynamically balanced and can run up to a speed of 500m/minute;
⦁ High Definition image re-production capability of 6,400 DPI which is not attainable through the conventional electro-mechanical engraving process;
⦁ Very less production space is required in comparison to the conventional process with similar production    capacity;
⦁ Requires less power, hence the running costs are low.

Expressing delight Mr. Ashok Chaturvedi, chairman & managing director, Uflex Limited said, “For this ambitious project we decided to partner with M/s Think Lab, Japan because of their unmatched technological finesse in gravure printing technology which is globally acclaimed. It is a name that instils trust and confidence and thus serves to be a perfect strategic partner for Uflex for our cylinder manufacturing business. We are getting online real time service support and assistance from Think Lab which is now completely dovetailed with our operations and ensures practically zero downtime. Our precision has improved manifold so has the production efficiency.
