At ExpoPrint 2014 in São Paulo this month (16-22 July), Bobst will premiere its brand new Novacut 106 ER machine for inline diecutting with blank separation.
Combining Bobst diecutting technology, the Angle Lock blanking tool system and the manufacturer's extensive process support network, the Novacut 106 ER is said to give packaging converters access to integrated and automated production that also improves the productivity of downstream processes such as folding and gluing.
The new diecutter offers in-line blank separation "without the production or investment headaches that users expect from this process, delivering perfectly stacked bundles of blanks ready for downstream processing with no need for breaking out by hand". The Angle Lock blanking tool system is said to enable users to blank jobs which previously would not have been cost-effective - and regardless of where they operate in the world, as because Angle Lock blanking tools can either be supplied directly by Bobst or made in-plant using standard components.
The Novacut106 ER is designed for in-plant flexibility, allowing users to build up a portfolio of blank separating work while they still run un-blanked jobs that are simply diecut and stripped. This is due to the delivery section, which can be converted from single/double cut blank separating to full sheet delivery, and back, "in a matter of seconds".
