PRINTING United Expo 2026 · Las Vegas

What you may have missed at PRINTING United Expo 2026

Two HP production platforms. Two very different media-handling challenges. One clear automation story. At the HP Graphic Arts booth in Las Vegas, NEOLT Factory demonstrated rigid-panel feeding and stacking around the HP Latex R2000 Series and jumbo-roll handling for the HP Latex FS70 W.

Two demonstrations worth another look

Automation on both sides of wide-format production

The two systems addressed different production problems. The R2000 demonstration focused on moving rigid sheets into and away from the printer. The FS70 W demonstration focused on supplying long roll-fed jobs from a much larger source roll.

Rigid-panel production

What you may have missed: the R2000 became part of a coordinated board-handling cell

The printer remains the print engine. NEOLT handles the repetitive movement around it so rigid media can be staged, picked, delivered, ejected and stacked with less repetitive manual board handling.

The published HP R2000 configuration uses an automatic loading table with vacuum suction cups and independent motion control. On the output side, motorized handling supports panel ejection and stacking while automatic table leveling maintains the working stack height as material is consumed or collected.

Superwide roll-fed production

What you may have missed: the FS70 W was being supplied from a jumbo-roll workflow

The HP Latex FS70 W provides the high-production 126-inch printing platform. The external NEOLT system manages the source roll and controls media feed toward the printer.

The Model 4 platform is designed as an independent unwinder or rewinder for printing, cutting and combined production environments. Published features include automatic speed management through an analog dancer roll, a pneumatic expanding roll-holder shaft, laser roll-diameter sensing, brushless motor drive, touchscreen control and onboard safety sensors.

One show, two automation problems

The important difference was where the bottleneck lived

Rigid-panel automation and jumbo-roll handling are not competing approaches. They solve different material-movement problems around different HP production platforms.

Workflow question HP Latex R2000 + NEOLT Feeder & Stacker HP Latex FS70 W + NEOLT Jumbo Unwinder
Primary media format Rigid sheets and boards Roll-fed flexible media
Main handling challenge Repeated loading, printer delivery, unloading and stacking of individual panels Managing larger and heavier source rolls for long production runs
NEOLT role Vacuum pickup, stack leveling, printer delivery, output ejection and finished stacking Independent roll support, controlled unwinding and media feed toward the printer
Published capacity highlighted Up to 400 kg feeder media load 500 kg standard Model 4 roll capacity
Production objective Reduce repetitive sheet handling and support a more continuous rigid-media workflow Extend time between roll changes and support longer high-volume roll-fed production

Why the demonstrations mattered

The printer is only one part of production throughput

Both demonstrations centered on the same operating idea: improving output means looking at the movement of media before and after printing, not only the rated speed of the print engine.

01 · Material movement

Reduce repetitive handling

Automation can take recurring board movement or heavy-roll control out of the operator's most repetitive production tasks.

02 · Production continuity

Keep the printer supplied

Feeding systems matter when the goal is to keep a productive print engine working instead of waiting on the next manual material step.

03 · Shop planning

Design around the complete cell

Floor space, media dimensions, utilities, service access, staging and downstream movement all affect the final production configuration.

04 · Workflow fit

Match automation to real jobs

The best configuration depends on the actual media mix, job length, substrate behavior, roll dimensions and production priorities of the shop.
