Grafotronic IQ is a new workflow automation suite that enables the Grafotronic DCL modular finisher to handle all job settings automatically. The ONE is a new single anvil semi-rotary die cutting module capable of reaching 150m/minute.
‘We all want to be more efficient, increase productivity and decrease waste and everyone should be able to get the most out of our machine. Our latest innovation will do that. Grafotronic IQ is all about no more manual side adjustments, no more manual register sensor settings and no more depending on the individual operator when it comes to set-up times, waste, and product quality,’ said Mattias Malmquist Vice President, Grafotronic.
‘Grafotronic IQ works with a set of cameras that monitor the web and automatically adjust what’s needed. All of this is done at the highest speed within the digital finishing field. Even sensors are automatically moved into the right position without any manual interference.’
‘Grafotronic IQ takes over all the manual adjustments, and station by station is set up in the blink of an eye. Roll change, flexo printing, semi-rotary die cutting and slitting is done and checked with a tolerance below +/- 0,1 mm. All the operator needs to do is to change the tools in our existing quick-change solutions,’ said Malmquist. ‘We calculate an average waste of a maximum of two metres per roll change, so there is almost no waste, the shortest possible set-up times and users can automatically achieve the best label quality.’
The ONE is a single anvil semi-rotary die cutting module capable of reaching 150m/minute. ‘Die cutting is one of our strongest features. Our machines are already running up to 110m/min on our single anvil systems,’ said Malmquist. ‘We are very proud to introduce THE ONE, which is the first single anvil system that will run in speeds matching the twin anvils. And this is with a tolerance of just +/- 0,1mm.’
The single anvil design is superior to twin anvil systems when it comes to set-up times and waste at job change. THE ONE can be set-up within just 30cm and is developed to handle even the shortest runs in an effective way.
