QCDC - Quick Change Die Cut

From Mark Andy Inc.

QCDC - Quick Change Die Cut Product From Mark Andy Inc.: Mark Andy has spent the past few years re-focusing their efforts to further improve converter productivity and efficiency. After a great deal of success with the award-wining Performance Series printing platform, the company has turned its focus to the next big bottleneck in flexo print production, die cutting. Mark Andy is excited to unveil its latest die-cutting innovation, QCDC - Quick Change Die Cut converting platform.

QCDC is a completely new design in die-cutting technology that promises to drive extreme efficiency from faster die set-up and change over to precision cut accuracy to high speed matrix stripping. Upon installation, converters will immediately see productivity improvements in quantifiable job changeover and set up times, as well as a significant savings in material waste.

Mark Andy R&D teams have analyzed the various processes of the cumbersome and lengthy work flow of current die cutting technology. With QCDC, operators will be able to reduce setups by 60% through its effortless die cassette workflow, open guarding system, simple matrix web path, and superior ergonomics.

Available in a single- or dual-die station configuration, the QCDC allows for dies to be quickly loaded, automatically registered with servo technology, and running full production in a fraction of the time. Die exchange is simple with the quick change cart, specifically designed for the Performance Series platform. The station’s design allows for accurate loading of dies either off-line during job changeover (single die station) or in a second station while the press is running a job (dual die station), further enhancing production efficiencies for the converter.

In addition to these benefits, QCDC will aid considerably in waste savings. The unique design offers trouble free matrix stripping and winding to reduce web breaks, as well as enabling customers to easily strip difficult die shapes. QCDC can easily adapt older Mark Andy dies as well as most dies from other press manufacturers. The unique adaption design provides rigid mounting of narrower adapted dies, providing more consistent die quality than ever previously achieved with adapted tooling.

QCDC technology will be demonstrated on both the Performance Series P5 and P7 models on the Mark Andy stand (#319) at Labelexpo Americas 2012 (http://www.labelexpo-americas.com) to be held 11-13 September in Chicago, Illinois, USA.; Expand for more details on this Product

Spartanics L-350 Laser Cutting Machine Product From Spartanics: Laser cutting manufacturing leaders, Spartanics, will be introducing the highly anticipated L-350 Laser Cutting Machine to the Asian market during the China Print 2013 show May 14th – 18th. This announcement comes following the tremendous response of the Spartanics L-350 Laser Cutting Machine demonstrated during the 2012 Labelexpo Americas Show.

Schober Rotary Die Cutting Machine Product From Schober USA Inc: Schober USA introduces their latest version of the popular RSM family of rotary die cutting machines which is ideal for processing a wide range of paper, film, foil and even technical non-woven materials. Innovative servo-drive technology and continuous synchronously driven rotary die tools allow the RSM to process at speeds of 150 m/min (492 ft/min) while maintaining precise register accuracy. With micrometric die wear compensation adjustment these systems allow an unparalleled service life. They are ideal for a wide range of papers, films and foils including OPP, PE, PS and PET foil, coated paper laminates, and composites as well as technical non-woven materials.

Tippmann Clicker Die Cutting Press Product From Tippmann Die Cutting Solutions: Tippmann Die Cutting Solutions (Booth 3135) introduces a low cost, simple to operate, air powered die-cutting press to the printing industry. Ideal for small run die-cut jobs, the Tippmann Clicker Die Cutting Press will allow you to set up in less than two minutes. Die cut paper, card stock, corrugated, plastic, etc. Our die cutting presses are compatible with steel rule dies, clicker dies and forged dies. The Tippmann Clicker Die Cutting Presses are also ideal for use with matrix and counter plate dies.

NSF Elite Product From Therm-O-Type Corp.: The NSF Elite Foil Press from Therm-O-Type (Booth 4427) has the ability to imprint/die-cut up to eight positions down the length of each sheet. This allows a single die and makeready to be used when processing multiple up sheets through the press. Using this feature, tooling cost and makeready/set up time are dramatically reduced. This is extremely important when running very small quantity jobs that have been printed multiple up on digital printers.

LaserSharp RTR Series Product From LasX Industries, Inc: Dramatically reduce lead times and eliminate the tooling costs associated with conventional die-cutting by making the switch to an on demand laser solution for roll-to-roll label processing. Take advantage of an efficient digital workflow with the new LaserSharp RTR Series, a roll-fed system that offers maximum production rates with the highest part accuracy. On a LaserSharp RTR laser system, pattern changeovers are as simple as opening a new job file; no downtime or setup is required. Our patented LightGuide embedded process controller ensures consistent quality kiss-cutting at high production speeds. LaserSharp systems also offer superior registration to printed details, continuous on-the-fly processing, and a completely digital workflow that allows for inline integration.

Varimatrix 82 CS Die Cutter Product From Heidelberg USA: At drupa 2012, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be unveiling its new Varimatrix 82 CS die cutter (CS stands for cutting and stripping). This expands the product portfolio alongside the successful Varimatrix 105. Boasting speeds of up to 8,000 sheets per hour and a high cutting force, the Varimatrix 82 CS increases productivity and combines significant added value in the finishing process with low investment costs. The die cutter is ideal for commercial and packaging printers who have to produce ever shorter runs and meet extremely short delivery times. This calls for maximum flexibility and productivity in postpress, too. Customer satisfaction - and therefore the cost-effectiveness of a job - is determined first and foremost by high-quality results.

Dymatrix 106 Pro Product From Heidelberg USA: At drupa 2012, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will be presenting the Dymatrix 106 Pro high-performance die cutter with new, automatic chase changer. This speeds up the exchange of different cutting dies considerably and extends the die cutter's extensive level of automation further still.

High-Capacity, High-Speed Rotary Die Cutting Modules Product From Schober USA Inc: Schober introduces high-capacity, high-speed, heavy-duty rotary die-cutting modules which attain higher precision and flexibility due to an electronically synchronous run and digital servo-drives.
