HDI Introduction
The Beauty of High Definition Flexographic Printing
The introduction of the CRON HDI digital flexographic imaging machine is a result of CRON's decades-long dedication to laser technology research. With highly mature CTP technology, including laser imaging and advanced automation, CRON with over 30 years of focus on the pre-press industry, holds numerous national awards and patents. With a global installation of over 10,000 CTP units, CRON is renowned worldwide. The HDI machine is CRON's independent development, representing the pinnacle of CTP technology tailored for the flexographic printing sector.
CRON's CTP pioneered the concept of “Three 1%” for ultra-high plate-making quality. As a newcomer in the field of digital flexographic plate-making, CRON HDI inherits this essence, ensuring consistently high plate-making quality. It addresses the challenges of high-definition flexographic printing, offering rich color layers, full saturation, and remarkable performance in highlights and shadows, comparable to offset and gravure printing. This advancement helps numerous flexographic enterprises enhance print quality, elevate customer satisfaction, and significantly strengthen market competitiveness.
HDI Features
Linear Magnetic Drive Scanning System
State-of-the art linear magnetic drive scanning system High speed, high accuracy, zero friction and maintenance-free operation guarantees reliable, stable laser output.
Built-in Dedusting System
Built-in design, high-efficiency dedusting a powerful tool to resolve the difficult problem of ablation dust removal.
Semi-conductor Multiple Fiber Array and Optical Imaging Technology
The laser system uses SMFO technology which helps to improve the resolution. Individual lasers can be changed or moved so that the cost of laser maintenance is greatly reduced. The single channel in-line module laser array system perfectly solves the unevenness of the optical path caused by the attenuation of redundant lasers light valve system.
V-shape Guide
The unique V-shape guide rail guarantees smooth and stable movement of the scanning platform increasing image quality.
Highly Refined External Drum
Our class-leading external drum (surface flatness to within 5 μm) lays a solid foundation for accurate laser focus and the sharpest possible dot reproduction.
Constant Temperature and Dual-cooling System
The system ensures that the laser's temperature stays at ±0.5℃. As a result laser life is extended.
Leak-proof Drum Vacuum Channel System
Vacuum pressure is stable for all sizes of plates. There is no need for zones or air valves to make vacuum control easier.
Dynamic Balancing System
The drum will automatically balance with any thickness and size of plate.
Automatic Detection Of Thick Plate
According to the actual thickness of the plate, automatic focusing ensures that the image dot quality is not affected by different plate thickness.
