General Specifications
Technology	830 nm thermal imaging platesetter, fully or semi-automatic, external drum
Load/unload systems	Standard: ContinuousLoad with semi-automatic plate loading and unloading; as one plate is imaged, another is placed on standby for automatic loading as soon as the drum unloads. Single-cassette unit (SCU) option: Fully automated; holds up to 60 plates (0.3 mm) of the same size and thickness with slip sheets. Functions are identical to multi-cassette unit. Multi-cassette unit (MCU) option: Fully automated; holds up to 180 plates in 3 cassettes, each containing up to 60 plates (0.3 mm) of the same size and thickness with slip sheets. The required cassette is automatically selected according to the job definition. Slip sheets can be removed from the storage bin while the platesetter is running.
Punch option	For SCU and MCU configurations: Can be configured with up to 6 punches for single, double, and triple holes, ensuring precise image-to-punch and plate-to-plate registration. More than 300 punch heads are available.
