VISIONCUT is second BOBST for TYNE TEES PACKAGING
Wednesday 30. September 2009 - TYNE TEES PACKAGING has taken delivery of a BOBST VISIONCUT diecutter to satisfy ongoing growth in demand for its die-cut corrugated products. The VISIONCUT is the companys second BOBST diecutter
Gerard Wiper, Managing Director of TYNE TEES PACKAGING said, “In the three years since we bought our first BOBST diecutter we have grown the market for our die-cut products to such an extent that we now need a second machine. Just as we started to think about buying a new machine, BOBST launched their new VISIONCUT, which was great timing for us as it is even more productive than our first BOBST.”
The BOBST VISIONCUT has an increased running speed of 4,800 sheets per hour compared to its predecessor SPO160-VISION, while enhanced ergonomics make it possible to change jobs in less than 10 minutes.
Gerard Wiper said, “Makeready times are vitally important in our market, so the fact that the VISIONCUT can change from job to job so quickly is a real bonus. It means we will more than double our diecutting capacity once it is in full production in a weeks time.”
A further factor in the choice of a BOBST VISIONCUT was the training and after sales support TYNE TEES PACKAGING received following their first BOBST acquisition. Gerard Wiper said, “We know that by making the most of the technicians and trainers BOBST provide we will be able to maximise the production from the VISIONCUT. That means reducing every makeready to its absolute minimum and running every job at, or very near to, full running speed.”
The materials that can be converted by the VISIONCUT include litho-laminates, microflute, and corrugated up to double-wall corrugated (0,75mm to 9mm). The maximum sheet format is 1’600 x 1’100mm.
TYNE TEES PACKAGING has chosen the bundle delivery version of the VISIONCUT, but it is available in an alternative pile delivery version. The pile delivery version is ideal for users who want to form a pile directly inside the delivery station and so save on floor space.
