Finishing & Screen Printing

Zünd are at Fespa 2016 demonstration advanced automation and productivity

Wednesday 02. March 2016 - Zünd is pleased to present the latest high-performance, ultra-versatile digital cutting solutions for commercial printers and other print service providers at FESPA Digital 2016 on Stand G90 in Hall 1. In conjunction with its modular flatbed cutters, Zünd is exhibiting automation and productivity features for every application and production environment.

ARC automates bit changes
With the new Automatic Router Bit Changer – ARC, Zünd highlights yet another automation solution.The ARC system comes with a freely configurable magazine that holds up to 8 router bits that can be changed on-the-fly during the cutting process. ARC is ideal for efficiently routing, polishing, and engraving applications involving aluminum, wood, plastics, or composites.

Distortion-free advancing with center winder
Attendees can also see a Zünd G3 3XL-1600 cutting system in action. This high-performance cutting configuration is especially well suited for wide-format finishing of graphics on vinyl and other rolled materials up to 3.21 m / 10 ft wide. The center-winder roll-off with integrated dancer system guarantees optimal tension control that allows for wrinkle- and distortion-free processing of textiles.

Tandem operation for unsurpassed productivity
A perfect example of productivity enhanced through innovation is the option to equip Zünd cutters with a tandem operating setup. In this configuration, the cutter surface is essentially divided into two independently controllable working areas. Material loading/unloading and processing occur concurrently on alternate sides of the machine, allowing for completely uninterrupted production. This setup is perfect in production scenarios where tight deadlines mean every second counts.
