The Quantum 1500SP assures unparalleled performance by maintaining print quality at ALL speeds, providing superior reliability through programmed maintenance, unique unit accessibility and exceptional ease of operation. The 1500SP features heavy-duty construction with rugged 2 1/4” thick steel side frames, large tie-bar connections and a frame rail design that results in a vibration-free platform. Helical gearing accelerates smoothly to high-speed with precise registration. Coupled with the state-of-the-art SCCS operating control system, the 1500SP provides lineshaft or servo shaftless technology for the print units and all other functional units for maximum configuration flexibility and seamless integration.

The 1500SP is an ideal alternative to the 28” or 40” sheetfed four color process market for run lengths as low as 5,000 – reducing manufacturing cost per thousand by 30-50 percent. The Quantum 1500SP’s versatility, as compared to the traditional fixed-sized perfecting webs where throughput and high utilization are necessary to maximize profits, can be leveraged to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The press can produce both short grain products, 17 3/4” cut-off, and long grain products, 22 3/4” cut-off simply by using inserts sized for each format. Furthermore, if 17 1/2” or 17 1/4” is a better repeat size and reduces paper waste per impression, that size can be purchased instead. Additional insert sizes can be purchased at any time, as market needs change.

The Quantum 1500SP is designed to produce high quality signature products which can be supplied in various configurations, e.g. with former, plow, jaw and chop folds in a variety of finished sizes. Sheeted products are available in cut-offs from 7” to 28”. Web widths are available from 21” to 38 1/2”.

The 1500SP incorporates Quantum’s advanced technology and introduces a commercial variable format to the heatset web market. The versatility of utilizing different drying systems such as heatset or UV, variable print insert sizes from 17” to 28”, press widths from 21” to 38 1/2”, lineshaft or shaftless and variable sized finishing units (such as signature folders, gluers, etc.) provides one of the most flexible print solutions available today.

RAISING THE STANDARDS ON VALUE

Sanden uses only the highest quality parts and components in the construction of our press lines. It is this attention to detail and our unsurpassed quality control that translates into a world class, highly competitive production system that will deliver the quality and range of products your customers demand.

The SCC System is a fully programmable, open architecture, Windows® based press operating system. All major press control functions are remotely controlled from the system’s main console at the press delivery end. Circumferential and lateral register moves are standard features executed in exact one thousandth of an inch. Programmable ink and water balance sweeps ensure consistent quality for each color, even while accelerating through the speed range. The Compu-Set Q2 command center with touch screen console offers complete one-step control of all press functions. Easy-to-read individual control screen windows appear, with high resolution graphics, for each press function selected. The point and touch Navigator is designed with the operator in mind and provides the most user-friendly control system available. In all, over 70 press functions can be enabled and stored on the system’s hard drive or disc and are easily recalled for rapid set up on repeat jobs.

SANDEN DATA MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The SDM System is a module based software suite of management control solutions. The base module enables real-time network access to the press, allowing authorized personnel to access job data including make-ready time, current count, impressions remaining, running speed, etc., all from a modem-equipped computer. Other modules include a password protected pre-programmed on-line maintenance management system with automated sentry for prompting of necessary maintenance requirements and logging their completion. A real-time diagnostic system alerts the operator of press deviations and automatically identifies those corrections when completed. A press operations log, designed to assist management with production and scheduling issues and a parts manual with zoom-in parts locator is also available.
