Production Rates & Labor

Labor: Production

System Operator: operates the axpanel computer management system and ensures the panel position before printing. Assists the panel preparer with panel loading if loading is manual (loading can be automated).
Panel Preparer: removes protective folio from the panel, inspects panel for defects, loads panel onto the preparation table (loading can be automated)

Labor: Panel Logistics

Inbound panels: workers deliver and position panels into the panel preparation room
Outbound panels: workers receive finished panels from the drying room
Number of workers depends on customer's logistics system

No Affect on Production Rates

Number of colors, designs or ink coverage
Changes in design from one panel to the next
Panel heights: 100 – 610 mm
Panel styles: cassette, ribbed, flat …
Panel surfaces: woodgrain, stucco, smooth …

Production Rates Notes

Printing is the slowest step in the production process, except for panel drying
Production rates can be increased by printing longer panels and then cut into 2 – 4 panels. For example, print a 10.200 mm panel and cut into 4 x 2.550 mm panels after they are dry. Each 2.550 mm section of the 10.200 mm panel would have its own design.
