The Suprasetter A106/106 boasts a modular design that offers unparalleled flexibility within the medium-size format range. With its Intelligent Diode System (IDS), production losses are virtually eliminated. Additionally, an integrated cooling system ensures no adverse effects from external temperatures.
Complete automation for plate production
The platesetters come in various configurations: starting with the basic model, which can be enhanced with a Dual Cassette Loader for fully automated plate handling using plate cassettes. For maximum efficiency, there’s the Auto Pallet Loader, capable of loading printing plates directly from a transport pallet. Moreover, these automated loading systems can be combined to accommodate different plate formats and types.
To achieve peak productivity, the platesetters can be seamlessly integrated into fully automated plate production lines. This integration allows for continuous execution of all tasks, including loading, imaging, punching, developing, beveling, and job-specific unloading, around the clock without manual intervention. You have the flexibility to adjust your plate requirements as needed.

Main features
Laser technology
Heidelberg’s proprietary laser systems for the Suprasetter deliver outstanding imaging quality. The modular design allows for seamless integration of additional laser modules on-site, minimizing downtime and service needs. Production reliability is guaranteed by the Intelligent Diode System (IDS), ensuring uninterrupted operation even if a diode fails. Moreover, the Suprasetter maintains a consistently high depth of focus to compensate for plate unevenness.
Dual Cassette Loader and Auto Pallet Loader
The standard model can be effortlessly enhanced with a Dual Cassette Loader (DCL) for complete automation. The DCL supports one or two plate cassettes, accommodating various plate formats and types. Opting for an Auto Pallet Loader (APL) ensures peak efficiency in plate production, automatically loading printing plates from a transport pallet. For increased speed and flexibility across different plate formats, the Automatic Pallet Loader can be employed alongside the Dual Cassette Loader.
Smart Plate Handling
The Suprasetter A106/106 ensures optimal convenience in plate handling through Smart Plate Handling at every upgrade level. The Dual Cassette Loader (DCL) loading system is positioned at the rear, while the Auto Pallet Loader (APL) is positioned at the front using a foldable transport bridge. Additionally, a plate conveyor is integrated into the auto loader, minimizing the overall system footprint. This provides an advantage over conventional systems, which typically feature restricted bypass operations and external conveyors. Even with full automation, the Suprasetter enables quick manual plate loading, ensuring that both auto and manual loading options are equally efficient.
Temperature stabilizer
All components crucial to imaging are consistently kept at a steady temperature. This ensures that the imaging of printing plates consistently occurs under uniform conditions, which is especially advantageous for plate remakes. By preventing deviations due to ambient temperature fluctuations, high register accuracy with the printing plates is maintained. This facilitates quicker makeready on press and minimizes waste.
Internal punching system
The Suprasetter can be optionally outfitted with highly precise internal punching systems. These punched plates ensure maximum register accuracy, leading to reduced press makeready times and minimized waste. Moreover, additional punching systems can be easily installed on-site at any time.
Debris removal system
The optional Debris Removal System comprises a vacuum and filtration system designed to eliminate loose particles and dust. With this feature installed, the Suprasetter A106/106 is fully prepared to handle ablative plates as well.
