The CD 102 has been one of Heidelberg's great success stories and is now one of the great work-horses of the printing industry. Its solid construction ensures a very long life and makes it very popular on the second-hand market where printers appreciate its durability and quality.
Introduced in 1987 and aimed at the carton market, this versatile press has been constantly updated and improved. Originally running at 11,000 sph this was increased to 13,000 sph in 1990 and to 15,000 sph by the middle of the decade.
Increasing automation has brought more productivity - Autoplate and CPC improvements ensured this, and in 2004 enhancements to the feed and delivery systems - Preset Plus - allowed settings to be made off the press.
The double circumference impression cylinders and the triple diameter transfer drums make this an ideal carton press while an air-assisted transfer system on modern presses allows even the thinnest stocks to be printed.
Speed: up to 15,000 sph; Sheet size: max: 720x1,020mm, min: 340x480mm; Stock: 0.03mm-1mm
