“Were also excited to highlight how our technical innovations empower designers and operators with the creative freedom to generate the ideas that will drive the future of their company,” he said. “The Kongsberg C64 is the digital finishing solution that fits todays digital production requirements without compromising on size, versatility or finishing quality, and is the first multifunction super-wide digital finisher for signage, display and packaging applications.”
Built for the highest level of performance and redefining the possibilities of digital finishing, the Kongsberg C64 offers speeds of 100 m/min (66 in/sec) and acceleration up to 1.7G, with quick and precise tool movements making high quality digital production possible, even under the tightest of deadlines.
“Visitors can see first-hand how its state-of-the-art engineering and technology – which combines an aluminum composite tabletop, rack and pinion drive system and dynamic table mapping – delivers the highest levels of cutting accuracy and consistency,” he said. “The extreme rigidity of the carbon traverse allows high speed, accuracy and a heavy payload, even when working on the most demanding materials.”
The table works with a wide variety of optional tool units, with multiple tool combinations available during production, depending on the materials being processed. The tooling system includes a material thickness probe and an optional camera for registering printed and unprinted material.

Well also show visitors how the Rigid Material Knife Tool excels at everything from lightweight detailed work to cutting heavy rigid board like plastic foamed PVC 3 mm,” said Eric.
“Well demo our specialist PressCut Knife Tool, developed for kiss cutting adhesive vinyl and foils, as well as the RotaCut Tool for cutting textiles, canvas, mesh and other air transparent materials,” he added. “The set-up will be completed with a wide format roll feeder, which simplifies and adds further speed and efficiency to production.”
