As part of our ongoing commitment to offer our customers the best in terms of service, support and hardware, November saw the sales and service teams visit our newest supplier Flexa SRL. Based in Italy, Flexa are a manufacturer of finishing equipment for wide format digital print industry.
Four go on an Italian adventure
Our staff were invited by Flexa to take part in their first ever technical training sessions based at their factory in Colle Umberto in the Treviso province. Paul and Wayne from the Service team and Georgia and Lauren from Sales made the trip across. YPS were offered an in depth look at the range of hardware Flexa has to offer with the opportunity to learn, operate and experience the machinery.
Flexa Technical Training
Following an introduction to the company by owner Massimo, YPS began their training on the Easy Lite Lam & Sound Laminator. This was a great opportunity to get up close to an impressive piece of kit. A heat assisted laminator is an essential piece of kit for most printers and signmakers. The Easy Lite Lam & Sound offers many features to create the perfect lamination but it also has a host of benefits to aid the user as well as many safety features. Being easy to use yet industrial are elements that occur frequently within Flexa finishing equipment. Each machine is developed and made in the factory in Italy using parts manufactured locally where possible before being tested extensively. It is apparent with the quality and how user friendly each machine is, that Flexa care about their product and customer experience.
Day 2 saw us tackle the a range of Flexa cutting equipment. First up was the Flexa Extrim, a unique trimming machine with its cutting unit mounted on a linear recirculating ball bearing system. The circular blade cuts a range of materials and offers speed as well as accuracy with its ‘Accu View’ technology.
The Flexa Miura II Plus formed the basis of our afternoon training. The Miura II Plus is an XY cutter combining horizontal and vertical cutting for fast trimming of media. This machine has lots of intuitive measures to ensure an accurate cut including optical sensors for vertical alignment and an advanced cutting mark reader.
The training sessions were rounded off by a demonstration of the Apollo 155, a pvc and fabrics welder that uses impulse technology to permanently join the material together and the Flexadome UV doming system for creating 3d finishing for labels and other printed media.
We had a fantastic time learning about all things Flexa and would like to thank the team at Flexa for their generosity and hospitality during our visit.
