Plate loading

Semi automatic loading is standard. Plates of any size within the machines range are laid on the feed table and guided into the input slot by an alignment rail. The leading edge of the plate either registers with pins on the drum if punched otherwise is located by edge sensors. The operator depresses a foot switch which clamps the plate leading edge and rotates the drum one revolution pulling the remainder around the drum until the trailing edge is sensed. The trailing edge of the plate is then clamped. After imaging, the plate is either automatically returned to the feed tray or exited through another slot at the rear into an on-line processor. The machine is operated in the appropriate safe light area for the plate type in use.

Fully Automatic plate loading is optional. This eliminates the need for an operator and so provides a fully non-attended system. The machine is equipped with a magazine which holds either four, eight or twelve cassettes for varying sized plates. During the loading operation, the required plate cassette moves into a position where a robotic mechanism first removes the slip sheet and then picks up the top plate with vacuum pads. It is then transported across the top of the Oasis and lowered onto the feed tray from where it is fed into the input slot. After imaging, the plate is transported to the processor. Each plate cassette holds up to 100 plates.

Data input

A choice of input methods can be selected. Oasis can be driven directly by RipExpress or PrintExpress via Laserbus. Alternatively, third party RIPs such as Harlequin or Panther can be connected via a TIFF spooler system. A range of workflow systems are available to suit user requirements.
