New WE-Druck press equipped with QIPC automation

Press manufacturer Koenig & Bauer has entered into a partnership with Dutch company Q.I. Press Controls and presses from the German manufacturer are often equipped with QIPC automation. This is the case with a new Commander CL from Koenig & Bauer that will be put into operation by WE-Druck, a printing company in Oldenburg, Germany.

WE-Druck invested in the new press at the end of 2018 and the press will be put into operation in the summer of 2019.

The new press in Oldenburg is part of a modernization of the plant, which produces 1.5 million newspapers and 7 million other supplements per week, and is to become the heart of the plant. "We have decided to equip our press with QIPC systems because this will further increase the degree of automation of our press," says Margit Schweizer, at WE-Druck. "The fact that the systems can be fully integrated into our new press and that QIPC is Koenig & Bauer's standard supplier also plays an important role.”

The Commander CL from Koenig & Bauer will be equipped with the mRC-3D system (6 cameras) for color register, the mRC-3D system (2x 6 cameras) for cut-off control and the IDS-3D system (6 cameras) for color control.
