AV Flexologic FAMM 1700 plate mounter

The AV Flexologic FAMM 1700 plate mounter (2010) is part of the fully automatic flexographic plate mounting solutions developed by AV Flexologic, a leading manufacturer of pre-press automation systems for the flexible packaging industry. The FAMM series is designed to deliver high precision, repeatability, and efficiency in the mounting of flexographic printing plates onto sleeves, which is a critical step in achieving consistent print quality in flexographic printing workflows.

The FAMM 1700 model is designed for wide-web applications and supports a maximum print width of approximately 1700 mm (67"), making it suitable for medium to large-scale flexible packaging production environments. Machines in the FAMM range are known for their fully automatic operation, where the system handles plate positioning and alignment with minimal operator intervention, helping to reduce human error and increase productivity.

The system typically integrates advanced image recognition technology and high-resolution camera systems to ensure accurate plate placement. This allows for precise alignment of registration marks, contributing to excellent print repeatability. The FAMM platform is also designed to work with sleeves and cylinders commonly used in flexographic printing, and it can handle multiple plates per sleeve in a sequential automated process.

Developed by AV Flexologic, the FAMM line represents the company’s focus on automation in prepress workflows, combining mechanical precision with digital control systems. The 2010 generation of these machines reflects the continued evolution of flexo mounting technology toward higher speeds, improved accuracy, and reduced setup times, supporting efficient production in modern packaging printing operations.

Overall, the FAMM 1700 plate mounter is a robust solution for printers seeking consistent mounting quality, reduced downtime, and improved operational efficiency in flexographic plate preparation.
