Among the BiesSse equipment solutions for flexo printing, allowing for the resolution of critical issues of pre-printing process (such as plate lifting and air bubbles), the TPMM – Tape and Plate Mounting Machine is particularly important. The BiesSse TPMM is the first compact and fully automated machine capable of automatically measuring the sleeve profile and applying double-sided adhesive tapes and plates, capable of substantially improving the pre-press process. It guarantees repeatable and very high precision mounting operations, at the same time reducing waste, in line with lean manufacturing practices.
