The INOflex® CFRP adapter, CFRP printing cylinder and the CFRP core shaft form a perfectly coordinated system for use in flexographic printing. The low deflection of the components increases the quality of the print result, reduces the waste and offers a high degree of continuity for the ongoing operation. In addition, the use of these products reduces the labor-intensive retooling time between the print jobs on a machine, and therefore increases the profitability of the print processes.

The CFRP printing cylinder can be equipped with a broad range of INOflex® CFRP adapters in different formats. The low weight of the adapter enables an easy handling and significantly reduces the set-up times. Since the clamping system is operated hydraulically or pneumatically, the sleeve insertion and removal for the adapter, as well as the channeling of the compressed air to the printing sleeve can be performed very easily.
The CFRP base core is characterized by an excellent stiffness, which guarantees high speeds and a superior print quality. The firm clamping provides the lowest possible number of contact points of the adapter and expanding shaft. Through the use of modern processes, the damping system of the CFRP laminate can be optimized customer-specifically.
