Industrial Rotogravure Printing Machine & Gravure Line
Built to keep register stable and solvent loss low in multi-layer flexible packaging, OYANG's rotogravure printing machine (high-speed gravure printing machine) lines run up to 450 m/min maximum speed, with 400 m/min production speed on the HONOR 4.0. Dedicated Electronic Line Shaft (ELS) servo drives hold automatic register to ≤±0.05mm on BOPP, PET, BOPA nylon, aluminum foil and coated kraft paper. The HONOR 3.5 PLUS and HONOR 4.0 use 75mm nodular iron lower frames machined on in-house Japanese MAZAK CNC centers.

5 Key Advantages Across the OYANG Gravure Series
How in-house precision machining and an optimized drying system help keep register stable and solvent use low.
Mechanical Rigidity & Register Stability
At production speeds of 300–400 m/min, a lightweight frame can pick up vibration that shows up as register drift. OYANG machines the core frame parts in-house on Japanese MAZAK and OKUMA CNC centers and specifies heavier nodular iron frames on the HONOR 3.5 PLUS and HONOR 4.0.
| Subsystem | Specification | Benefit in Production |
|---|---|---|
| Wall Panel Frame | HONOR 3.5 PLUS / 4.0: 75mm nodular iron lower frame, 40mm nodular iron upper frame | Higher rigidity and vibration damping at high speed. |
| CNC Machining | In-house MAZAK & OKUMA machining centers | Consistent shaft-center accuracy supports even nip pressure across wide webs. |
| Register Control | ≤±0.05mm automatic register (ELS servo) | Each printing unit is driven independently and phase-synchronized by the ELS controller. |
| Tension Control | ≤±0.3 kgf tension accuracy | Floating dancer rollers and servo infeed help stabilize thin film webs. |
Stable frames, servo tension and ELS register control work together to keep print quality consistent across long production runs.
Tower Dual-Station — Non-Stop Roll Change
All models use a tower-type dual-station unwind and rewind structure. When a roll runs out, the servo-driven turret switches to the next roll and splices the web at operating speed. This avoids line slow-down, limits register disturbance during changeover and supports continuous multi-shift production.
≤±0.05mm Register — Closed-Loop Tension Control
A low-friction dancer roller, magnetic powder brake and dual servo infeed units compensate tension in real time (≤±0.3 kgf). The pre-registration system locks colors quickly during ramp-up, which helps reduce substrate waste at startup.
ELS Electronic Shaft — One-Key Setup & Job Memory
An ELS servo controller (B&R or Kersai) replaces the mechanical line shaft, so each print cylinder runs as an independent electronic axis. Operators can recall saved tension, temperature and register settings for repeat orders. The HONOR 4.0 stores up to 3,000 recipes.
Fully Enclosed Ink Trough — Lower Solvent Loss
The HONOR 3.5 PLUS and HONOR 4.0 use a Teflon-coated, fully enclosed ink trough that limits air contact with the ink surface and reduces solvent evaporation. The rigid box-type doctor blade has fine adjustment to help prevent ink spitting and blade chatter marks. Savings depend on your solvent cost and running hours; ask us for an estimate based on your production plan.
Efficient Hot-Air Drying & Energy Saving
All models use a semi-suspended oven with air nozzle velocity above 40 m/s and 5-sided insulation. The HONOR 3.5 PLUS and HONOR 4.0 add an air-reduction heating system that lowers energy consumption by 15–20%.
8-Step Rotogravure Printing Process
How roll-fed substrate moves through the gravure printing line from unwind to finished roll.
Dual-station turret with automatic splice changes rolls without stopping the line.
Floating dancer roller compensates web changes and keeps tension within ≤±0.3 kgf.
Independent servo drives turn each engraved cylinder, holding register to ≤±0.05mm.
High-velocity nozzles dry the ink between colors and at the oven exit.
Water-cooled rollers bring the film back to ambient temperature to limit stretch.
Servo taper tension follows the growing roll diameter to help prevent telescoping.
Automatic cutting and core change when the target length is reached.
Printed rolls go on to lamination, slitting and pouch making.
