Koenig & Bauer recently held its 14th Cortina User Workshop at hubergroup in Munich.
Users of the Cortina waterless newspaper press came together to discuss technical innovations and the latest developments on the market. Roughly 100 participants from 15 countries attended.
“We are proud that the Cortina User Workshop has proved so successful over so many years and that it meets with such positive response,” said Peter Benz, Cortina project manager at Koenig & Bauer Digital & Webfed and moderator of the two-day event.
He reported on recent sales successes and press start-ups, for example, the commencement of production at ICP Roto on La Réunion and the commissioning of the first Cortina section at Coldset Printing Partners in Paal-Beringen, Belgium.
Koenig & Bauer representatives, users and suppliers gave presentations served to promote the sharing of ideas and experiences and to facilitate the formulation of common strategies.
The Cortina User Workshop again received sponsorship and support from numerous equipment and consumables suppliers: hubergroup, Prüfbau, apex international, Toray Textiles Central Europe, Verico Technology, UPM, Papierfabrik Palm, Papierfabrik Kriebstein, Sauer Walzenfabriken, Flint Group, KMi Kwang Myung Ink, Griso Chemie, marks3zet, HEIGHTS Group, Eltosch Grafix, Wifac bv, ContiTech and Q.I. Press Control.
Thomas Klebs, managing director for sales at hubergroup, opened the workshop with a few remarks on the current market situation. Koenig & Bauer also addressed the topic of digitization from the perspective of a press manufacturer.
Koenig & Bauer offers solutions for digital decor printing, metal and glass container decorating, newspapers and digital commercial printing, and is now similarly at home in digital corrugated post-printing with its new CorruJET press.
“From practice, for practice,” was the motto of the event’s second day.
The workshop also spotlighted new aspects relevant to the production process, such as predictive maintenance and the use of artificial intelligence to detect emerging faults and thus avoid unplanned press downtime through timely preventive measures.
The date for the next Cortina User Workshop is Sept. 25-26, 2019, at Coldset Printing Partners in Paal-Beringen, Belgium.
