Heidelberg GT/GTP Hot Foiling Press Conversion Kits

Base and Platen

The based on the Heidelberg GTP  platen press will have a foil bar system integrated between the base and platen unit. This device holds the foil rolls during operation.

Heated Bed Plate

Comprises of an individual heated honeycomb plate, the plate is supplied with its own temperature controller. There is one temperature sensing point per plate, information from the temperature sensor is fed back to the microprocessor control unit maintaining the temperature at the pre-set level.  The heat sensor is close to the surface of the bed so it accurately measures the temperature of the dies.

Foil Control System

The key to efficient application of hot stamping foils. SF Services has developed many unique software and hardware features that are incorporated into the foil control system. These features have been developed in our Group foil blocking factories.

Foil Pull Through

Substantially constructed and mounted on the top of the press. The foil pull assembly can accommodate up to three full width rewinds/Hologram registration. Each of the foil pull units features a microprocessor control, allowing five different pull lengths with up to ninety-nine repeats of each length per program.  Complex foil advance programs can be entered into the computer to cope with the most demanding of foiling layouts.  The units can be programmed to achieve ‘step-ins’ even when running registered image holograms.

Installation

The complete kit is secured using original holes installed on the Heidelberg GTP when manufactured, the Heater plate secures using the original chase locking mechanism.
