- Available for sleeve or cylinder versions
- Facilitates high mounting and proofing accuracy
- Heaford has over 25 years of experience in mounter proofers
- Web widths up to 1800mm(71”)
- Repeat from 300mm(12”) to 1500mm(59”)
Mounter Proofer Range Features
Designed to deliver accurate mounting and reliable proofing performance, the Heaford mounter proofer range helps converters verify plate registration before long production runs.
Tape Appliciation
Apply tape faster, more precisely and more consistently with our range of operator friendly tape holders and applicators.
Pre Register
Press manufacturers are working tirelessly to reduce start up waste through accurate pre-setting. We have a range of solutions to match your mounter to your press pre-setting system.
Camera Measurement
For manual mounters without motorised cameras, LED display showing positional data in the X axis significantly aides operator set-up negating the need of a tape ruler.
Plate Support
A table, powered pneumatically to advance and retract as required. Options to hold the rear and/or front half of the plate during mounting (this avoids the need to protect the rear half of the plate mounting tape on the sleeve with silicone release liner).
Laydown Roller
Improve efficiency, consistency and remove the risks of air bubbles often associated with ‘hand rolling’ using our silicone foam lay down roller. This applies an even pressure across the full width of the sleeve for both tape and plate application.
