Polar's PACE Receives 2008 PIA/GATF Intertech Award
For the second time Polar has been awarded the globally respected
technology award in the United States - on this occasion for their
PACE Automated Cutting system.
In 1999 Polar won this award for its Compucut system for linking pre-press to their cutters, a process which is now widely used by many printers in Australia and New Zealand.
The PACE dramatically increases cutting productivity using their Autotrans transport grippers to transport the material to the cutter and their Autoturn turning gripper which positions the reams on the rear table and aligns them for cutting. PACE has the capability of performing up to six cuts fully-automatically, thus freeing the operator for other functions around the machine without any interruption to the cutting cycles.
The removal of cutting waste is also done automatically with Polar's Autotrim.
PACE will either reduce the manning from two- to one-man operation or it doubles the efficiency of a system operated by one single person.
Since drupa 2004, even the jogging process can be carried out without any operator by integrating the fully automated Autojog jogging system into a cutting system.
POLAR's PACE systems provide highly-efficient and innovative solutions for both printed and unprinted materials, which means an enormous potential for saving personnel costs while increasing productivity.
Polar's PACE system will be featured at our combined cutting and converting Open House in October, and can be seen alongside the Varimatrix 105CS die cutter and Easygluer 100 folding box gluer. Click here to register.
