Press control based on state-of-the-art PLC technology is a basic prerequisite for retrofitting aimed at maximum production security. The system communicates on industrial real-time networks and, apart from providing increased security, is more user-friendly and generates less waste.

It is possible to retain or renew the existing direct current technology (shaft-driven) or to switch to three-phase AC technology, which is maintenance-free. You can also increase your production flexibility by switching to shaftless technology.

If you use three-phase AC drives, motor maintenance is no longer required. By using shaftless technology, additional requirements on the part of the publisher can be met.

Well-known newspaper publishers in Europe and the USA, for instance "Le Figaro" in Paris and "The Providence Journal" in Providence, have installed new drive systems and EAE press control systems in their presses.
