Sumo Luxel F-9000
The Sumo Luxel F-9000 is quite simply one of the fastest, most technologically
advanced B1 imagesetters available in the world today. Benefiting from three
laser configurations, the system can grow as your needs develop.

Features
Designed to fit into existing
production environments

The Sumo Luxel F-9000 has been designed to fit into existing production
environments, with a choice of supporting RIPs and output resolutions. The
maximum imaging size is 1122mm x 930mm, with the capability of handling a
variety of film widths from 559mm up to 1130mm, and the Sumo can produce plate
ready film for all popular press sizes with minimal film wastage. Dual input
drop-in film cassettes make film loading fast and error-free with the option of
using two different film sizes, or double the amount of one size, for longer
film runs. A footprint of only 2.2m2 means it uses up less working floorspace
and is flexible enough to fit almost anywhere.
38 B1 flats per hour at
2,438dpi

At a standard resolution of 2,438dpi, the single laser model has a production
capability of 16 full size B1 flats per hour, the dual laser 29 and the triple
laser an amazing 38 B1 flats every hour. The Sumo can image plate-ready film in
all modes and can automatically punch the long edge of the film to ensure
maximum registration accuracy, so saving time and money, and getting jobs to
press more quickly.Easy to use, service and
maintain

The Sumo features an innovative menu-driven touch screen interface with icons
and graphics for quick and easy machine operation and maintenance, providing
simple instructions for each operator task. The maintenance and serviceability
of the Sumo have also been designed with the future in mind - including the
capability for remote tracking, maintenance and diagnostics of machine
functionality.

Upgradeable on site to grow
with your business

The Sumo will be able to keep pace when your production schedule demands it,
since it can be upgraded from 1 to 2 to 3 laser status on site with minimal
disruption to the working environment. This means that the requirement for
increased productivity does not automatically mean a large capital outlay on new
machinery.
Very sharp dots and precise
fit at all resolutions

High workload capacity has not been obtained at the expense of consistently high
image quality. The Sumo has class leading registration accuracy of +/-30 microns
over the maximum image area and will image at all resolutions with a very sharp
dot and precise fit. To further ensure consistent image accuracy, an in-line
acclimatisation area helps to minimise film size variations that could be caused
by temperature and humidity differences.
Designed for manufacture with
exceptional reliability

The Sumo has been designed for manufacture and achieves its remarkable
performance using less than 2000 component parts resulting in superb
reliability. The Sumo has also undergone gruelling vibration, temperature and
humidity cycling tests, both during development and production, to ensure it
performs in demanding print and repro environments.
