3 PERFORMA 66 Sheetfed offset Basic concept Compact yet versatile KBA PERFORMA 66 The Performa 66 for a sheet size of 485mm x 660mm (19 x 26 ) is available as two-, four- or five-colour models, all with the option to convert to and from perfecting mode, for the ultimate in versatility and productivity. Our research and development team is constantly focused on enhancing the print quality, productivity and user comfort of this workhorse press. Its excellent price/performance ratio makes the Performa 66 the perfect press for a wide variety of print operations ranging from commercial printers to trade houses to printers of fine art, with their rigorous quality standards. 2 3

4 PERFORMA 66 Sheetfed offset Printing unit Superior print quality... Performa quality standards The Performa 66 is engineered to offer stable printing conditions. Features such as reinforced side frames, helical gears and bearer-to-bearer cylinder contact combine to ensure a high-quality, high-precision performance. The impression, blanket and plate cylinders operate in optimum, vibration-free conditions. No press leaves the factory unless it passes the rigorous European print quality standards stipulated by FOGRA. Inking unit There are seventeen rollers in the inking system including four adjustable oscillating forme rollers with different diameters to apply a smooth and uniform ink film on the plate. The different diameters also help eliminate streaking on full solids. Optional temperature control for the inking unit improves ink train stability and supports waterless printing. Ecomatic dampening unit The dampener can be integrated with the inking unit or segregated from it via the bridge roller, depending on requirements. Fount solution metering is determined by the rotating speed of the pan roller, which is remotely controlled with 1% variable adjustment. The temperature of the fount solution is controlled by a Technotrans cooling unit supplied as standard.

5 PERFORMA 66 Sheetfed offset Automation...through sensitive ink/water control Remote ink key control The ink duct is extremely stable. The segmented blade has 20 zones adjustable either via the keyboard or the touch screen at the GrafiControl console. Adjustments are implemented simultaneously in all ink zones, saving valuable time and cutting paper waste. Automatic washing systems The press is fitted with programmable automated washing units for the blankets and inking units. The blanket washing system utilises a cloth cartridge system and has separate water and solvent injectors to remove paper edge lines, paper dust, spray powder and ink. The washing cycles can be easily adjusted according to the degree of soiling. This delivers excellent cleaning results while reducing labour input and solvent consumption. 4 5

6 PERFORMA 66 Sheetfed offset Productivity Automation enhances productivity Remote registration All registers circumferential, lateral and diagonal (by cocking the plate) are controlled from the GrafiControl console or delivery touch screen. If needed, the plate can be adjusted diagonally by +/-0.3 mm (0.01 ) for a total movement of 0.6 mm (0.02 ). Adjustments are implemented instantly, on the run. This saves time and cuts down on waste. Remote adjustment of paper thickness Paper thickness can be set by remote control. So there is no need to run around the machine to speed up makeready.

7 PERFORMA 66 Sheetfed offset Workflow Digital workflow based on CIP4 Client Pre-press Press Post-press CIP4 GrafiControl console Cutter Raster image processor (RIP) Ink profile preset Folder CTP Plates PERFORMA 66 Proof Proofer Proof Stitcher Standard CIP4 interface Our products allow you to use pre-press data via a CIP4 interface. The press can automatically preset the ink profiles in the individual printing units. This results in easier, faster makereadies and more standardised work. Once entered, job data can be used at all stages of production. Stored data can be re-used for repeat jobs. Open to the future The ability to use digital pre-press in the printing process enables you to take advantage of future advances and upgrades, while the global trend towards networking creates a basis for more efficient production. KBA-Grafitec innovations help you exploit this potential to the full. 6 7

8 PERFORMA 66 Sheetfed offset Complete press line The complete press from the feeder... Feeder The feeder head is equipped with two systems of lifting and forward suckers. The entire feeder head is adjusted to pile height in one easy movement. Fine adjustments can be individually made to sucker height, suction force, pile height calliper and air blast into the pile for sheet separation. The feeder incorporates an ioniser to reduce electrostatic charge in the paper pile, a nonstop device to allow on-the-run pile changes and an optical detector for sidelay misregister. Feed board A twin-vacuum belt conveyor with an independent air source decelerates the sheets as they approach the front lay, thus preventing damage to the leading edge. To protect against incorrect feeding the press features electromechanical or ultrasonic double-sheet control, an optical skewed sheet detector and auto stoppage of misaligned sheets.

9 PERFORMA 66 Sheetfed offset Complete press line...to the delivery Printing unit The Performa 66 allows you to produce high-quality prints quickly and easily. All printing unit functions paper thickness, plate register (including cocking), ink keys, duct roller speed, fount solution temperature are remote-controlled from one place, as is the optional temperature control system for the inking unit. The printing unit has cast-iron reinforced side frames, helical gears and bearer-to-bearer cylinder contacts. Automatic washing systems for the blanket and inking rollers enhance productivity. A perfecting unit is available as an option. The transfer cylinders can be fitted with Super Blue anti-streaking blankets. Delivery Standard equipment includes a high-pile delivery, but if space is at a premium this can be replaced by an optional low-pile version that is more than 1m (39 1 /2 ) shorter. The removal of check sheets is controlled pneumatically. To prevent streaking and marking, the transfer delivery cylinder is also fitted with Super Blue. The delivery is equipped with a pneumatically controlled decurler, a speed-adjustable vacuum sheet brake, powder spray unit, ioniser, optional IR dryer and nonstop delivery device. There is a swivel touch screen at the delivery for more convenient control of the press settings and a faster response during makeready and running. 8 9

10 PERFORMA 66 Sheetfed offset Perfecting Production flexibility... Perfecting unit The Performa 66 can be fitted with an optional perfecting unit. Registration is extremely precise in both straight printing and perfecting, guaranteeing a high-quality print on all suitable paper types in multicolour production. The well-proven three-cylinder design of the perfecting unit makes for a quick and easy conversion between straight printing and perfecting (approximately 3-5 minutes, depending on operator skill). Each step is indicated in the display, ensuring that the correct procedures are followed. An optical sensor located above the impression cylinder checks that the sheet is positioned correctly after perfecting.

11 PERFORMA 66 Sheetfed offset Coating and drying...to suit individual specifications Inline dampener coater A budget-priced option for printers whose job specs include the occasional aqueous coating, the dampener coater can be installed in the last printing unit and used as either a coater or a dampener. So it is possible to apply four colours plus a coating or five colours with no coating. And whether solids or spot coating the quality is excellent. Dryer and nonstop facility in the delivery The press can be equipped with an optional IR dryer. A combined IR/hot-air dryer and extended delivery are supplied with the coater option. The nonstop delivery allows you to change sheet piles without stopping production. This is especially useful when printing on thicker paper

12 PERFORMA 66 Sheetfed offset Press control Convenient operation at the console... Touch screen The positioning of the touch screen allows the printer to control all press parameters from the delivery. The control software is able to communicate in a number of languages. The swivel head can be adjusted to suit each operator s preferences. GrafiControl The GrafiControl console allows the operator to set register, colour profiles, duct roller speed, dampening and side lay. The settings can be saved and retrieved for repeat jobs. Colour density can be measured using a manual or automatic densitometer.

13 PERFORMA 66 Sheetfed offset Press control...and directly at the press Simple operation Colour profiles can be set by simply running a finger over all the zones on the touch screen. The parameters for the next job can be entered in the GrafiControl system either during press standstill or while the current job is still running, which saves valuable makeready time. Easy access Despite the Performa 66 s rugged design, all the vital components the lubricating unit, air control, ioniser, powder sprayer and dryer can be accessed easily. All the safety guards have gas-operated springs for greater convenience during maintenance work. Small footprint The compact design of the Performa 66 means there are no tiring, space-consuming catwalks. Instead, there are sturdy, drop-down steps built into the side of the press for the rare occasions when the operator needs to access the ink fountains. This reduces operator fatigue while saving valuable floor space
