The Automatic Plate Exchanger APX is a new kind of plate changer which, according to Wifag, reduces operator interaction at the press to a minimum.

As Wifag explains, multiple productions can be loaded with plates handled as a single package, which reduces mistakes, operator time at the machine and plate damage through handling. The system distributes the plates automatically to the right zones on the cylinder. Up to 12 plates can be loaded as a single package. Later upgrades from a semi-automatic to an automatic process are possible as well as the extention with automated plate logistics.
