A peak-performance format 6 die-cutting machine from Heidelberg has been unveiled for industrial-scale carton manufacturers.
A new Dyset XL optical feed system plus new pneumatic chase and additional preset modules gear the new die-cutter for maximum productivity and optimum precision, said the German print giant.
From the Dymatrix 106 CSB die-cutter, the new device features preset modules such as fine adjustment of the die-cutting plate position and format setting at the feeder.
The chase changer and the quick-action clamping system for the stripping and blanking stations ensure short makeready times during job changes, according to the manufacturer.
A redesigned main gear mechanism increases the speed to 9,000 sheets per hour. As with the Dymatrix 106 CSB, the gearing is based on technology used in presses.
The new machine supports grammages of between 80 and 2,000 gsm and processes materials 0.1 to 4 mm thick.
A sample machine is installed at the Print Media Centre at Heidelberg’s Wiesloch-Walldorf site.
Operating according to Heidelberg’s patented moving upper platen principle, the new machine features the new Dyset XL feed system, under which each sheet is measured by three cameras, and the circumferential and lateral registers are automatically aligned in the feeder.
Sheets can be measured from the top and, optionally, from the bottom. Either the sheet edge, the printing mark or the print image is used for alignment purposes.
