Overview
The VISION M1 is a mechanical, compact flexographic press designed for efficient production of self-adhesive and wet-glue labels on a wide range of substrates. It supports repeatable register control and inline converting to reduce handling and setup time.

Key benefits

• Flexible configuration: multiple accessories and modular options for different production needs; fast interchangeability of flexo, screen and hot foil with Ready technology.
• High process efficiency: short web path and automated features to minimise set-up waste and maximise uptime.
• User-oriented operation: simplified job changes with Flower flexo head and accessible production data through remote connectivity.

Features

• Configurable up to 10 colours; 2 or 3 inline die-cutting units possible.
• Ready technology for quick interchange of flexo, screen and hot foil.
• Flower flexo head for rapid job changes and reduced set-up time.
• AccuDrive for 360° pre-register and automatic register setup and control.
• DigiGap for automatic print and die-cutting pressure control.
• Bambi matrix rewinding for complex label shapes.
• Laserset laser-assisted preregister system for immediate cylinder positioning.
• Combo and QN3/5 technologies for multi-layer coupons and booklets (2–5 layers).
• Print tutor eco camera for automatic register setup.
• Snowball lite waste stripping for continuous production.
• Organizer system for safe handling and storage of magnetic cylinders.
• Touch panels on each print unit and a main HMI; remote access to production data and service support.
