Mex, Switzerland - Last year, the Bobst increased the capabilities of the NOVAFOIL 106 even further by introducing a version which is dedicated to hologram applications - the NOVAFOIL 106 H. With up to 10 individual and completely redesigned modules, the transfer of holograms can now be done in an extremely efficient and flexible way, while still providing exceptional quality. Each hologram module is equipped with its own register and motor brakes for maximum accuracy and performance. Placed on either of two transversal rails, the modules can easily be slid into position and connected to the machine with a “plug-and-play” system.

The NOVAFOIL 106 is also available with ACCUREGISTER, the no-sheet-edge contact register which ensures 100% precision, and which was inspired by the BOBST POWER REGISTER. The ACCUREGISTER handles even shiny and transparent materials, correcting the sheet position in the front and lateral direction. It reduces feed-related machine stops and cuts down waste during machine setup, adding production and cost efficiency to the list of advantages.

“This machine has been conceived for converters who are specialized in top-end hologram application, such as banknote production” says Marco Lideo, Head of Product Line LADSF ETERNA at BOBST. “The NOVAFOIL 106 Hologram allows to be extremely efficient and precise. With 10 modules, even sophisticated designs are produced in one single run. Obviously, quality is paramount. That is why ACCUREGISTER guarantees the perfect positioning of the sheet, while the individual registers for the modules make sure the holograms are placed with greatest accuracy.
