Shafts are the main components of flexographic printing machines.
The printing carrier shaft allows a printing sleeve plate to be directly carried (depending on the design) or using an adapter.

The anilox carrier shaft is used to carry an anilox printing sleeve.

These shafts meet the same requirements for stiffness and dynamic stability as carbon fiber adapters and carbon fiber anilox, and meet the same purposes:

Attenuation/suppression of bouncingReduction of machine downtimeReduction of pressure setting times
Reduction of adjustment times (adhesives, sleeves, plates, etc.)Maintain/increase printing speed
Their dynamic imperfections will be irreparably transmitted to the elements they carry, so it is important to minimise them by dynamically balancing them.

Designed and calculated in our technical department, the pneumatic clamping shafts produced by Epsilon make use of the most efficient carbon tubes, thanks to the patented “K1” process.
