The FREEDOM automatic system by Vianord Engineering combines a compact footprint with a fully automated workflow for flexographic plate processing. As the most compact automated solution on the market, it enables complete automation—including seamless integration with imaging and LED exposure—without the need for a bridge. FREEDOM units offer rear or side plate exit options, with side access for live plate inspection and the flexibility to dry and finish plates processed by other washout units.Thoughtfully designed for both productivity and practicality, the system provides easy access for servicing and maintenance. Featuring an intuitive new interface and integrated Dryer+ technology, FREEDOM delivers high-end performance tailored to flexible, space-conscious production environments.

The market’s most compact inliner

Maximum efficiency

Minimal footprint

General Features

  • Market's Smallest Inliner: Ultra-compact design. 842 x 220 x h215 cm
  • Integrated Dryer+ Technology for enhanced drying performance
  • New User Interface & Touch Screen: comfortable, intuitive, bigger, includes an external terminal for unit remote control
  • Remote access
  • Plate process parameters memory (up to 30 channels)
  • Programmable warm up/switch off
  • Active component visualisation during the process
  • Manual function to run the components separately (Service only)
  • Plate Tracking & Manual Change Detection: auto-updates when changes are made
  • Integrated Data Export Enables quick export of production data for easy tracking, and optimisation

Encumbrance

 

The minimum distance should be of 1.5 mt (59”) in front, on the right side and at the left side 1 mt (40”).

The respect of the minimum distance from the walls is critical to allow sufficient space to the users and the engineers to be able to have access to the system in case of maintenance and repairs.

Smart Entry Section

  • Versatile Plate Feeding Supports both manual and automatic feeding without requiring any extra piece of equipment.
  • Automatic Plate Handling: The system automatically aligns, punches, loads, and clamps the plate to the pin bar
  • Smart Pin Bars Automatic Recovery: Automatically punches, loads, and clamps the plate to the pin bar. After processing, the used pin bar is sent to storage (up to 4 pin bars capacity). When a new plate is ready, a pin bar is automatically retrieved and positioned for the next cycle.
