Technology Snapshot

KHS-AI Advance: The Komori Hyper System, Re-Engineered

KHS-AI integrates ink-key preset, registration, color density and substrate dimension data across the press to pull saleable sheets faster and hold them stable across the run.

01

Color Control

Closed-loop ink-key adjustment against inline Delta-E measurement reduces color-stable make-ready waste.

02

Parallel Drum Transfer

Multi-drum transfer keeps heavy-board stocks flat through perfecting and coating units without sheet strain.

03

LED-UV Curing

Instant cure at the delivery enables immediate downstream finishing and cuts energy vs conventional IR/hot-air curing.

04

KP-Connect Workflow

Prepress, press and finishing KPIs unified into a single OEE dashboard for the plant manager and shift lead.

Where Specification Meets Commissioning Evidence

KHS-AI Color Control

Target Delta-E < 2 achieved under 200 sheets on reference G7 commissioning runs — verified on Tsukuba and customer-site acceptance reports.

Parallel Drum Engineering

Designed for 0.04 – 0.8 mm substrate range without mark-up on heavy board runs typical of folding carton work.

LED-UV Option

Direct downstream finishing compatible, reduced energy envelope versus conventional IR/hot-air curing on equivalent throughput.

KP-Connect OEE Visibility

Shift, job and operator KPIs exposed through the KP-Connect Pro dashboard — designed for plant managers planning capacity, not just press minders.

Monozukuri Commissioning

Every press is acceptance-tested at Tsukuba Plant against Fogra PSO / ISO 12647-2 reference targets before shipment — documented, not implied.

Long-Horizon Parts Policy

Genuine Komori parts supply and service support for presses ten and more years into production — supporting capital-equipment lifecycles, not disposable cycles.

  • Typical formatB2 / B1 sheetfed
  • Preferred curingLED-UV for quick turn
Folding Carton & Packaging

Folding Carton Converters

Heavy board, metallic and specialty substrates up to 0.8 mm, coater-unit dependency, Pantone-spot tolerance at the G7 Master level. GX series is the packaging anchor.

  • Board range0.25 – 0.8 mm
  • Typical inksCMYK + 2 spot + varnish
Publication

Publication & Book Producers

Long-run publication work on System G40 web offset or Lithrone G44 large format, optimized for throughput, register stability and signature consistency.

  • Typical run50k – 500k impressions
  • Register target± 0.05 mm
Direct Mail & VDP

Direct Mail & Variable Data

Impremia IS29s UV inkjet B2 with variable data imaging for personalized direct mail, transactional-promotional and short-run specialty work where the offset crossover does not pencil out.

  • Short-runbelow 3,000 impressions
  • DataVDP / PDF/VT-ready
Sustainability Focus

Energy, Waste and the Kyobashi Long View

Komori designs presses to the Kyobashi long view: century-scale engineering demands century-scale accountability on the energy, ink and paper they consume. Sustainability isn't a marketing claim — it's an acceptance-testing line item.

Data reflects published Komori engineering targets and Tsukuba plant environmental program. Customer outcomes vary by pressroom setup and substrate mix.

  • LED-UV curing energy reduction (vs conventional IR) target zone
  • Make-ready waste sheets reduced via KHS-AI documented
  • ISO 14001 certified manufacturing (Tsukuba) certified
  • Long-horizon parts policy (presses 10+ yrs in service) policy
