Komori printing press technology and century-long engineering heritage

Komori Corporation has engineered offset printing press systems since 1923. Founded in Tokyo, the company has grown into a world leader in graphic arts machinery.

The Tsukuba manufacturing plant in Ibaraki Prefecture and the Komori Global Parts Center (KGPC) provide centralized manufacturing and worldwide spare parts logistics for printing plants across the globe.

Komori presses set industry benchmarks for commercial printing, folding carton packaging and high-security currency production.

Solid cast iron base frames, micro-precision cylinder geometry and KHS-AI automated makeready algorithms minimize setup times and eliminate paper and ink waste during initial run-up.

The modern Connected Automation architecture integrates print units, drying systems, inspection equipment and finishing lines into a unified digital workflow.

This setup delivers continuous monitoring of production parameters, prevents print defects and ensures consistent color reproduction throughout extended commercial press runs.

Lithrone advance sheetfed offset presses: architecture and makeready automation

The flagship Lithrone advance line includes format sizes from 29 to 44 inches (GX40, G40, G37, G29, S40).

Presses incorporate Full-APC simultaneous plate changing, PDC-SX spectrophotometric print density control and PQA-S inline color inspection, delivering immediate target color attainment with minimal startup waste.

Lithrone advance printing units are built for stable operation at speeds reaching up to 18,000 sheets per hour.

Inking assemblies are engineered for rapid ink profile response across zoned fountain keys, while coating units with chambered doctor blades provide uniform application of aqueous and UV coatings on heavy packaging substrates.

Maintaining precise cylinder bearing preloads and track clearances is critical across Lithrone advance printing units.

We supply factory-grade and OEM replacement items: NSK and NTN precision bearings, plate and blanket cylinder clutches, high-cycle solenoid valves and servo drives for exact positioning.

Compact and web offset presslines: Enthrone, Spica and System series

The Enthrone 29 and Spica 26P series cater to commercial printers demanding compact footprints and high versatility.

The Spica series features an integrated sheet perfecting mechanism for 4+0 and 2+2 configurations, completing multi-color brochures and publications in a single machine pass without intermediate drying.

Enthrone series presses install easily within constrained pressroom environments while delivering the rigid engineering of full-sized commercial machinery. They support a wide stock range from lightweight text papers to rigid folding cartonboard without extensive sheet travel readjustment.

Komori System web offset presses (System 18, 35, 38, G38) handle high-volume publication and commercial runs. They integrate automatic zero-speed splicers, high-efficiency gas drying ovens and combination folders with closed-loop web tension controls for uninterrupted high-speed web handling.

Sheet travel mechanics: maintenance of gripper bars and transfer cylinders

Multi-color offset print register relies entirely on the precision of transfer cylinder gripper assemblies.

Polyurethane gripper pads and torsion bar springs degrade over operating cycles, creating microscopic sheet slippage between print units and visible color misregistration on fine design elements.

Sheet-transfer drive linkages endure continuous cyclic shock loads. Uneven sheet clamping force can cause ink smearing and damage sheet edges, making regular inspection of gripper contact surfaces essential for plant maintenance personnel.

Manufacturer guidelines recommend regular clamping force inspection across every gripper finger using calibrated tension gauges. We supply complete gripper bars, finger tips, torsion shafts, polyurethane pads and needle bearings for cam-opening mechanisms across all Komori press models.

Inking and dampening technology: rollers and Komorimatic system

The Komorimatic continuous alcohol dampening system ensures a thin, uniform moisture film across printing plates. Komori ink trains with feedback-assisted temperature control deliver rapid ink distribution, stable ink profiles and complete freedom from ghosting across heavy solid ink zones.

Rubber-covered rollers are fabricated from calibrated elastomeric formulations engineered to resist aggressive washup solvents, fountain solution additives and UV monomers. Stable Shore hardness prevents thermal expansion and contact stripe widening during demanding high-speed production runs.

Maintaining proper ink-water balance requires regular roller stripe calibration and desensitizing wash routines. We supply precision rubber-covered form rollers, chrome metering cylinders, bearing housings, micrometer adjustment eccentrics and sealing collars.

Komori replacement spare parts selection and K-Supply pressroom standards

The K-Supply program unites factory-tested consumables and replacement parts tailored for Komori presses. Components are selected by machine serial number, printing unit nameplate or parts manual catalog number from manufacturer documentation.

Regular supply lines include lint-free automatic blanket washcloth rolls, oil and air filtration cartridges, pneumatic solenoid valves, sheet-register optical sensors and electronic drive control modules.

Commercial contracts specify transparent terms, export packaging and international transit schedules. Engineering parameters, material grades and tolerances strictly match manufacturer factory tolerances.
