research and development for the printing industry
Research institutions SID – research and development for the printing industry Prepress, press and postpress solutions Passermessgerät LUCHS LUCHS register measuring system Probedruckgerät im akkreditierten Prüflabor Laboratory printing tester SID undertakes R&D projects with small and medium sized enterprises that value its expertise. Furthermore, supported by federal ministries and the state saxony, the institute conducts industrial research in order to prepare new, pioneering printing-industry technologies for the market. At the same time, SID is involved in joint industrial research projects. The institute works in close collaboration with renowned institutions and associations. drafting of a guideline on the ecological assessment of sheet-fed offset printing presses. These include, for example: German Printing and Media Industries Federation (bvdm) • Research Association for Printing presses (FGD) • German Engineering Federation (VDMA) • Paper Technology Foundation (PTS) • Leibniz Institute of Surface Modification • Together with these partners, SID addresses current issues, such as determining the extent of curing of UV inks or the process stability of IPA-free offset printing for example. Current projects are dealing with the development of measurement methods and measuring equipment for the highprecision position determination of flat objects based on intelligent measuring structures, the determination of webtension distribution over the width of a moving material web during manufacturing and processing, and the optimization of the processing parameters for binding machines. The result is new and innovative measurement technology that helps to solve existing problems. Examples of tech nical and process-related innovations include the printing of functional layers with electrically conductive media for the production of RFID antennas and the Contract research for small and medium-sized enterprises With its well founded expertise, SID supports companies that have insufficient R&D capacities of their own. This may be for special measuring tasks, the development of complete assemblies, or process-technological tasks. SID's extensive measuring equipment for a wide range of parameters from noise to energy consumption and paper properties is of great benefit. With the Accredited Test Laboratory for print quality and finishing, SID has a re cognized site for measuring variables in printing technology. Kurzprofil Das Sächsische Institut für die Druckindustrie (SID) ist seit 1993 als gemeinnützige industrienahe Forschungseinrichtung Partner des grafischen Maschinenbaus, kompetente Technologietransferstelle sowie ingenieur-technischer Dienstleister für die Druckbranche. Die Polygraphische innovative Technik Leipzig GmbH (PITSID) wurde 1999 als Schwesterfirma gegründet. PITSID produziert und vermarktet Innovationen, die im Rahmen der Forschungstätigkeit des SID entstanden sind und erzielt mit der Spezialmesstechnik für die grafische Industrie weltweit große Erfolge. Brief profile Since 1993, the Sächsische Institut für die Druckindustrie (SID) has been a non-profit industry-oriented research partner for the graphics mechanical engineering sector, a skilled technology-transfer center, and technical-engineering service provider for the printing industry. Polygraphische innovative Technik Leipzig GmbH (PITSID) was founded in 1999 as a sister company. PITSID produces and markets innovations that originate in SID’s research activities, and is achieving great success worldwide with customized measuring technology for the graphics industry. Development of customized assemblies, measuring and test equipment In collaboration with machine manufacturers and print shops, SID develops customized solutions as well as measurement and test equipment for global distribution. The LUCHS register measuring system, for example, is today an established component for checking and approving all printing presses. The portfolio also includes instruments for: UV curing measurement • Determining the composition of fountain solutions • Measuring gap dimensions and pressing forces • Measuring blanket or printing plate heights (packing gauges) • Measuring adhesive banding strength • • Research Atlas Saxony 2012 49
