P 2500 Remote Ink Control

Commercial Applications

Perretta Graphic's P 2500 Series Console is a computerized control center for Perretta's patented segmented blade assemblies or can be expanded through the addition of software modules to control other functions. The P 2500 features a 15" flat touch screen for displaying the Tool Bar based GUI. The Perretta Process Control Tool Bar lets the operator run multiple press control functions from a single source.

Specifications

  • Industrial Grade Pentium processor.
  • High resolution bar graph display with both analog and digital callout for each segment position.
  • Windows based software with easy to use menus and displays for operator prompting.

Computer and electronic circuits are mounted on printed circuit boards and employ state of the art technology using an open architecture design.

Features that Save Time and Money

  • The P 2500 's background memory provides for setting your next job while the current job is running.
  • Stores jobs internally (up to 1000) for reruns or an occasional lift.
  • No-wait data stacking - while the computer positions one fountain, you can adjust others.
  • Digital electronics - absolute segment positioning.
  • Automatic preset using built in digital preset, plate scanner, or previously saved settings.

Segmented Blade

Each segment is individually driven by its own digitally controlled motor. Our drive motor reliability is unmatched by any other ink control system. Blade assemblies are sized to fit any press, web or sheet fed. They can be transferred to other presses; each fountain blade module can be sized at a future date to fit other presses.

Individual segments move linearly to the ink fountain roller as opposed to an angular movement associated with other ink control systems. The result is a more positive response to the operator's commands.

Perretta’s Direct-Drive Segmented Blade assemblies Ink Control easier and more efficient than ever through precise, accurate segment positioning. Our patented, leakproof ink fountain blade assemblies are segmented for precise ink flow.

Unlike ink fountains that rely on inexact "spring-back" positioning, the P 2500 uses a direct-drive or "push-pull" system. The drive shaft features a captive-screw principle with preloaded thrust bearings that ensure high mechanical integrity, for precise and accurate segment positioning

An electromechanical override for each segment position at the ink fountain is provided to by-pass system electronics.

  • 10 year warranty on servo motors
  • 5 year warranty on ink fountain electronics

Newspaper Applications

For newspaper applications, the P 2500 NP features a special "page layout" view for ink key positioning. The P 2500 NP console lets you control the segmented blades for up to 256 fountains on any newspaper configuration.
