Our lives are becoming increasingly digital, but printed information continues to retain its importance. In industrial printing, chain systems are an integral part of many processes. They are indispensable for transporting and precisely positioning printing substrates such as paper sheets, cardboard or label material. In sheet feeders and cutting, folding or punching machines in particular, chains ensure a uniform and synchronized material flow, which is essential for precise further processing.
Chain systems also ensure stable and temperature-resistant conveying in UV drying sections and at high machine speeds. Thanks to their high load capacity, long service life and precise control, they contribute significantly to the quality, register accuracy and efficiency of modern printing processes. Depending on the application, different types of chains are used, such as roller chains, chains with attachments or pin chains, which are tailored to the respective requirements.
Modern chain systems are specifically designed to meet the requirements of printing technology. They are characterized by high tensile strength, are made of low-wear materials and have a optimized, partially automated lubrication, which helps to prevent downtime. Particularly in high-speed printing systems, the thermal and mechanical resilience of chains is crucial for safe and continuous production. Printing companies in Zurich, Basel, Bern and Lausanne therefore swear by quality chains from Rubix Switzerland.
A well-balanced chain system not only extends the service life of the system, but also improves print quality and increases production productivity. Chain systems are therefore an indispensable factor for efficiency, repeat accuracy and cost-effectiveness in print production.
