One of the great dichotomies of modern manufac- turing and production is that oftentimes the more complex and sophisticated the technology, the easier it is for operators to use. Nilpeter’s new FA press, the first machine manufac- tured in the company’s newly upgraded facility, is a case in point. With its eye toward a changing work- force, comprised of an ever greater percentage of Millennials, the press offers complete clean hand technology operation. Incorporating some of the most advanced technologies currently available, the entire press can be run from a tablet.The press is of- fered in 14-inch and 17-inch widths; it’s a fully auto- mated triple axis servo press with gearless plate sleeves and Clean Inking solutions.
“The press is 100 percent operated by tablet,” said Paul Teachout, Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “No handles, no knobs; everything is automated.Total job save a recall functions allow the first label off the machine to be as good as the last.With this press, an operator is 95 percent of where he or she needs to be before they do a single thing. This applies more science to the traditional craft of printing.” With the new automated manufacturing system, every aspect of machining is controlled with pin- point accuracy. “There is not a single thing left to chance anymore,” said Teachout. “There’s a chip in every piece of tooling to let us know when its life cycle is complete and needs to be replaced. Failures of any kind have been removed from the process.” “R&D drives this company,” said DeGirolmo.“There is research being done in Denmark at this very mo- ment that is 20 years ahead of its time.We are work- ing on technology now that will help usher in a new age of automation in the future.We are cognizant of keeping an eye on the present — supporting each and every current customer — while also keeping an Nilpeter USA President Lenny DeGirolmo ( third from left ) credits the company’s employees with its recent successes.
