Video plate mounting systems

A major benefit of having our own development & manufacturing facility is that we can respond to the specialist requirements of the client. The Platemate is a benefit of that partnership. This is one of the most poplar Video Plate mounting systems available and is in daily use on a wide range of presses - see our flexographic product section.

Platemate consists of a high definition monitor and twin cameras with micro adjustment screws, Plate Clamp with micro positional adjustment and spindles for a variety of manufacturers Print Cylinders. The unit is compact and can be housed on any bench to provide an ideal workstation.

A measured amount of double sided adhesive is applied to the cylinder (reducing adhesive waste). The printing plate is clamped into position under the two cameras, each camera registers half the cross hair image. The combined image is displayed on the high definition monitor. The position of the plate relative to the cylinder can now be infinitely adjusted until the two half images make a perfect full display. The polymer plate is now fixed to the cylinder and released from the plate clamp. The plate is now mounted ready for the press. The process is repeated for each cylinder colour.
