About this machine

Galaxy UD-32L8BQW F32 UV Flatbed Printer — BQ Series

A 3.2 × 2.0 m industrial UV flatbed for rigid board production. The bed takes standard sheet formats whole, and its five independently switched vacuum zones mean a small sheet holds down on one zone without the machine pulling air across the rest of an empty table.

The carriage runs on a magnetically levitated linear motor rather than a belt, and the Y axis on a ground ball screw. Substrate height is measured automatically, from a thin sheet up to 100 mm.

The machine runs 2 – 8 Ricoh Gen6 heads with UV LED ink, in these configurations: W + CMYK / 2 × W + 2 × CMYK / CMYK / 2 × CMYK / 3 × CMYK / 4 × CMYK. Output in draft mode (4 pass) is 50, 98, 148 or 195 m²/h with 1, 2, 3 or 4 colour channels. Files are prepared in FlexiPrint.

Applications

Rigid signage and display boards, POS and exhibition graphics, panel and door decoration, packaging prototypes.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes does the bed take?

The print area is 3200 × 2000 mm on a 3250 × 2050 mm table, laid out for standard board formats, so sheets go on whole. The vacuum is split into five independently switched zones: a small sheet holds down on one zone without the machine pulling air across the rest of an empty table. Substrates run from a thin sheet up to 100 mm.

Which heads does it use?

Ricoh Gen6 heads, 2 – 8 of them depending on the configuration. Tell us your volume and image type and we will recommend the head count.

How fast is it?

In draft mode (4 pass) output is 50, 98, 148 or 195 m²/h with 1, 2, 3 or 4 colour channels.

Which colours does it print?

The colour configuration is set with the head count: W + CMYK / 2 × W + 2 × CMYK / CMYK / 2 × CMYK / 3 × CMYK / 4 × CMYK.

How is the motion system built?

The carriage runs on a magnetically levitated linear motor rather than a belt. The Y axis runs on a high-precision ground ball screw, and carriage height is detected automatically.

Which software and options are available?

Files are prepared in FlexiPrint. Platform blowing air is available as an option. Tell us which jobs you run, and we will quote the configuration.

What does it need on site?

Power for 8500 W and floor space for a machine of 5320 × 2920 × 1450 mm at 1300 kg net. It ships packed at 5560 × 2280 × 1680 mm and 1925 kg gross, so plan for a forklift rated for that load and a clear route into the hall.
