KBA showcases an advancement of the Rapida 75 in half format with the unveiling of the Rapida 75 PRO at drupa. The Rapida 75 PRO features the same hard- and software solutions as medium-format Rapidas and thus offers extra features and improved user-friendliness.
The Rapida 75 PRO moves even closer to the Rapida 105 and Rapida 106 in terms of its press design. The ErgoTronic console is a standard feature equipped with the TouchTronic graphical user interface. Job management (console) and press operation (delivery screen) are no longer separate.
The Rapida 75 PRO is operated via touchscreen. All of the press’ functions are controlled with a maximum of two touches of a button.
Makeready times can be cut by up to 50% with One-Button-Job-Change. All pre-selected makeready processes are carried out at the touch of a button in an optimized sequence according to time.
The Rapida 75 PRO has different performance data. Its standard print format has grown to 520 x 735mm (20.4 x 28.9in) (previously 510 x 735 mm/ 20 x 28.9in). Presses with up to eight inking units and coater produce at speeds of up to 15,00sph (previously 13,000sph) as standard. The high-speed package with speeds of up to 16,000sph remains the same, as do the special formats which deliver up to six pages in typical catalogue or US measurements.
The press configurations available extend up to ten-color presses with an additional coater. Perfecting and coaters are also possible, e.g. for four-over-four or five-over-five production. They run at maximum speeds of up to 13,000sph. Double-coater presses are also available as an option.
Semi-automatic plate changing is now a standard feature of the Rapida 75 PRO. Plate changing times for this model are around one minute per printing unit without the need for tools. Automatic plate changing is also available as an option.
Many well-known features have stayed. These include a wide range of drying systems ranging from the energy-saving VariDryBLUE dryers up to HR-UV and LED-UV curing systems facilitating the immediate finishing of printed sheets. Key economical features of the Rapida 75 have also been adopted by the Rapida 75 PRO in terms of the space and energy needed. It requires a lot less space than other presses in its format class and operates with a lot less energy.
