Zund, the Swiss manufacturer, unveiled the new automated board loading and unloading system for the first time.
Designed with the aim of increasing productivity for users, while at the same time reducing manual handling and the need for additional manpower, the board handling system is capable of running unattended.
The retrofittable system is aimed at point-of-sale, signage, and packaging printers and is compatible with Zünd’s XL 3200 and L3200 cutting tables. It can cut formats of up to 2,000x3,000mm.
As well as the facility to handle bulk production runs without intervention, it also incorporates the flexibility to handle one-offs and short-runs. Zünd described the materials transport system as "unique" because it does not require bridging devices.
The company is represented by Pune-based Trident Packaging Solutions in India.
Meanwhile the cutting plotter manufacturer, Summa unveiled its cutter upgrade. The F1612 flatbed cutter has been crowned the best wide-format finishing device by the European Digital Press Association and for this year’s show, a new electronic oscillating tool that enables thicker materials (up to 20mm thick), is being demonstrated.
Interestingly, Roland has used the show as a springboard for the VersaStudio BN-20, a new metallic ink desktop printer and cutting plotter.
The system can print and cut products, including transfers, textiles, stickers, labels and posters, up to a width of 480mm. In addition to metallic inks, the VersaStudio BN-20 can also print using Eco-Sol Max inks or water-based inks in CMYK.
Also new for the show for Roland is the VersaUV LEF-12, a desktop UV printer with LED drying that can handle items up to 100mm thick.
According to the company, the 1,625mm-wide hybrid printer is suitable for printing and finishing products such as gadgets, gifts and prototypes and is equipped with CMYK, white and clear inks.
