Press
In the prepress, press and postpress chain, the Speedmaster SM 52
represents the cornerstone of the
digital workflow.
The CP2000 Center is the open
interface to prepress. Using the
PresetLink software module,
it allows on-line transfer of color
preset data from the PrepressInterface. The route to integrated
production is therefore made much
smoother. The spectrophotometric
measuring systems ImageControl
and QualityControl enable a
waste-saving control circuit.

The computer-controlled finishing
machines from Heidelberg use
open CIP3 interfaces. This means
that data generated at the
imposition stage can be used for
presettings. Makeready times are
thus reduced and productivity is
increased.

25 Speedmaster SM 52 in the workflow
General commercial printers today are facing evershorter runs coupled with ever-increasing demands on
quality, shorter delivery times and a keen awareness of
costs. Forward-looking technologies are needed to ensure
financial success in the future. The Speedmaster SM 52
gives you the first-class technology you need to optimize
quality and performance across a whole range of applications. By providing you with top quality to maximize
throughput, operate cost-effectively for short runs,
maximize profitability by minimizing makeready times,
and ensuring reliable production through utilizing only
state-of-the-art technology, the Speedmaster SM 52 gives
you the means to respond quickly and f lexibly to the
growing, ever-changing needs of the market.
Customers requirements differ. This is why the
Speedmaster SM 52 comes in a wide range of models,
allowing you to choose the perfect machine for your
particular needs. It is available in various configurations
ranging from one-color to six- color models.
All design features, the prepress link and the userfriendly CP2000 Center press control system have been
geared to practical needs and usage over a broad
spectrum.
The Speedmaster SM 52 sets the standard in its
format class!
The Speedmaster SM 52
futuristic technology for your
success.
Software modules
Modular design supports functional expansion at any
time.
The CP2000 PresetLink can be used to adopt ink
coverage values on-line from prepress via the Plate
Image Reader of PrepressInterface for press
presettings.
CP2000 ManagementGate records press data such as
counter status and wash-up processes. Industry
specific software, customer IT or Heidelberg DataControl can be linked up and can be used for transferring job data or retrieving press data.
Additional modules
The CP2000 MemoryPlus expands the job memory
to accommodate several thousands of jobs.
CP2000 OnlineAssistance can be used to transfer
service data via modem from the press to the
Heidelberg agency (as part of a service agreement),
enabling the latter to respond faster and more
effectively.
A whole range of new and helpful functions are supported. These include the Color Fast Solution which accelerates inking unit response and precise positioning of the
ink fountain zones. An intelligent pre- and postdampening program, automatic monitoring of dampening
solution quantities where there are large changes in the
quantities of ink applied, and continuous display of the
machine status all combine to ensure a considerable
reduction in waste.
Data for up to 250 jobs can be stored to ensure that
repeat work can be processed quickly. What is more,
while one job is being printed, you can be already preparing the next.
The CP2000 Center is a standard feature of 4 -, 5 - and
6 - color models. One- and two - color models will continue to be supplied with the tried-and-tested CPTronic
control system or with CPC 1- 04, if requested.

The feeder
The feeder is equipped with a suction head with
combined lifting and forwarding suckers which reliably
separate the sheets, even when the press is running at top
speed. Specially-developed sheet separators and perfectly
coordinated blowers at the front edge of the pile ensure
smooth sheet travel, even with extremely difficult printing stock. Electronic eyes continuously monitor when
sheets arrive at the front lays and the orientation of the
sheet in travel direction. Deviations from optimum sheet
travel are signaled to the operator and can be corrected
immediately.
The stream length of 100 mm is useful when processing small formats. The stream feeder can be used without
additional equipment down to a minimum format of
105 x 145 mm. You can also switch to single-sheet mode in
order to process envelopes with difficult flaps without
need for additional equipment.
When changing printing stock, many time-intensive
settings are performed automatically by means of the
machine control system. Formats and materials can be
changed with ease, since feeder and delivery can be
changed over quickly and without need for tools. The side
lays and the shaft on which the six front lays are mounted
can be remotely adjusted via the control console. The process of lowering and raising the pile is motorized, making
things easier for the operator to change the pile when
necessary.

The optional inking unit temperature control maintains stable conditions and constant inking during
multishift operation and optimizes the conditions for
standardized printing. The inking unit temperature
control is a must for waterless offset printing, IPA-free
and IPA-reduced printing and all UV applications.
All models in the Speedmaster SM 52 series are
equipped with the tried-and-tested Heidelberg Alcolor
continuous-film dampening system. The dampening
system is connected to the inking unit via an intermediate roller which can be switched on/off as desired and is
an important feature of the Alcolor dampening system.
The inking units has a generous storage capacity, a fact
which ensures optimum color consistency, high process
reliability and outstanding print quality. The Alcolor
dampening system is speed-compensated. The thin,
evenly-spread dampening film minimizes dot gain,
makes images more vibrant and enhances print quality.
Sheet travel
Suckers mounted on eccentric bearings tauten the rear
edge of the sheet in lateral and circumferential directions
before it is transferred with register accuracy by the
pincer gripper of the sheet reversing cylinder. This
ensures exceptional reliability with a variety of printing
stock and high tolerance to size deviations. The chrome
jackets for transfer drums I and III have a special surface
structure which ensures that the sheets are not damaged
when transported between the printing units.

Techology of the first order the extended highpile delivery with integrated DryStar 2000
Combination dryer.
The delivery
The delivery can handle frequent changes of formats and
materials quickly and without need for tools. Swing-away
sheet decurlers, sheet brakes and blower tubes ensure
perfect sheet travel with precise delivery. The blast air can
be finely metered over the entire delivery area. Individually tensioned grippers mounted on the gripper bars of
the delivery system convey the sheets smoothly and reliably, even at high speeds.
Where order focal points are clearly defined, customized machine configurations will repay investments very
quickly. The Speedmaster SM 52 is therefore available
with two different delivery options the standard delivery and high-pile delivery.
