Taiyo has developed a new Regenerated Offset Forms Press Model TOF-A-Series, using the most advanced engineering concepts, -Shaft-less driving system -Accurate computer control -Interchangeability with all existing TOF/TOF-IV modules.

Shaft-less System−Shaft-less Drive System What is sectional drive system ?
A conventional drive system is a combination of one motor for multiple mechanical units, with dynamic transmission system by drive line shaft and gears. In recent years, the shaft-less drive system is rapidly becoming popular in newspaper and commercial printing presses. Its advantages are servomotors, synchronized control intelligent drives, high performance and realization of real time communication by fiber optics. The most common, inverter drive was developed for speed control, and servo drive aimed for high speed registration control with high accuracy. This new inverter drive control has surpassed the mechanical synchronization, and brought in a new era of ultimate advantages.

Dash at the beginning
The feature of this machine is that response to the speed change is good and the machine starts early because machine loss as the twist of driving shaft is nothing.

Reduction of broken papers
In addition to nothing of machine loss, the machine sustains the paper tension when adjusting the speed, and sustains printing register. So, the broken papers are drastically reduced.

Low-noise
The gear and timing belt as the source of noise consequently lessen, so the unpleasant high noise are removed.

Simple maintenance
The most of actuator part which need the lubricating oil. And, the trouble by running out of oil is reduced.

Compatibility
The offset exchange cylinder, file punch cassette, lateral perforation cylinder and so on of TOF type form rotary printing press hold the compatibility.

Extensibility
Abundant various devices and functions which TOF series have developed are used as is.
