The new GigaFast semi-rotary die-cutting module
Grafotronic is set to break records at Labelexpo with the new GigaFast die-cutting unit, which can reach speeds of up to 160m/min in semi-rotary mode.
‘We have been working on this new concept for a long time and we are of course very excited about finally showing it to our customers. This is a big breakthrough in the semi-rotary die cutting technology,’ said the company’s VP of production and operation, Tomasz Skrobik.
The patented GigaFast is offered as a module on the DCL2 finishing line, which will be running live at the show. It can also be retrofitted and Grafotronic promises that customers will be up running within eight working hours.
‘This fantastic innovation takes our digital finishing range to a new level. Our customers will be able to finish digital printed labels at 160m/min. We will combine this with our well known solutions for non-stop production with automatic turrets, closed chambers for high speed printing and Wifi-Slitting Automatic knife positioning. Grafotronic will show no less than five different models for digital finishing at Label Expo and it is obvious that we have a very strong focus in this segment,’ commented Mattias Malmqvist, VP sales.
The first orders are scheduled for delivery during the first quarter of 2018.
