Speedmaster SX 102 takes the world's most successful perfecting press with XL technology to a new performance level 
Heidelberg is using drupa 2012 to showcase the new Speedmaster SX models - the Speedmaster SX 52, SX 74, and SX 102 - which combine the technology of the Speedmaster XL series with proven platforms. 
  
The Speedmaster SX 102 eight-color press is being premiered at drupa 2012 and will then be delivered directly to Görres in Neuwied. This press contains the proven perfecting technology that has over 30,000 loyal users throughout the world. The shorter makeready and throughput times thanks to Prinect Inpress Control and the new fully automatic AutoPlate Pro plate changing system, coupled with the ergonomic operation, set standards in this performance class. Optimized sheet travel, the reinforced side frames of the printing unit, and the cylinder bearings and gripper system from the Speedmaster XL 105 provide the basis for consistently high production speeds.
