Can anyone confirm the width of the ink keys on a Komori Lithrone S40 press and the number of ink keys in the fountain?

Thanks.

I got the answer. 35 mm for key width and there are 30 keys.

Thanks.

Alois, the press I was referring to is a sheetfed press and not a web press. Probably different dimensions for the ink key width. I will confirm just in case.

Just measured our 40" LS and they are 35mm exact

There was a change made between the Lithrone series and the LS series, as far as I know all of the 40" LS presses have 35mm keys qty 30, A Lithrone 40 has thinner keys, sorry I don't have the spec handy, but a Lithrone press (previous to the LS) had 34 keys.

Thanks to all.

My contact confirmed that the press in question has ink keys that are 35mm wide and there are 30 keys.

An interesting detail. The total width of all the ink keys is wider than the ductor roller face length.

Total ink key width, 35 x 30 = 1050 mm, Ductor face length 1035 mm.

Probably not a problem but an interesting detail.
