SpeedChase®
The Unilock-Up® system evolution.
The SpeedChase® replaces honeycomb chase technology with a new chase system that uses pneumatic pins to register and remove the UniLock-Up® plate, coupled to the SpeedChase® with superior magnetic force.
The Unilock-Up® plates are easily mounted with the SpeedChase® and installed within minutes.
When a job is finished, the Unilock-Up® is easily removed thanks to a special compressed air device supplied and is ready to be stored and used again for future jobs.
Moreover set-up and changeover can all be accomplished “hot”, allowing for faster set-up times and less downtime between production runs.
The SpeedChase® system is available for both traditional hot stamping machines as well as narrow web label printing machines.
Key Benefits:
- Lock-up is reduced to one steel plate, therefore job changeover can be accomplished, on average, in as little as 1 minute, 15 seconds.
- Set-up and changeover can all be accomplished “hot”, allowing for faster set-up times and less downtime between production runs.
- Makeready times are significantly reduced because of precision engineered engraved dies, steel plates and SpeedChase.
- Unilock-Up® plates are easy to handle, remove and store, ready for future jobs.
