Rapid job change over = high productivity.
It's a simple concept, but you need the right tools to put it
into practice.
The Heidelberg Varimatrix cutting and creasing machine in
standard trim is already a highly efficient, operator friendly die
cutter. With the addition of the Heidelberg-engineered time saving
devices shown below, down time is even further reduced. All these
additions are available for new machines and easily retrofitted to
existing Varimatrix die cutters.
Improvements:
-
Cutting chase - Quick clamp system
Setup time is reduced by 4-5 minutes with the quick clamp
device for cutting formes. Spring loaded clamps prevent over
tightening.
-
Thin cutting plates - Fine adjustment
Thin (1mm) cutting plates enable creasing matrix of repeat
jobs to be retained. The fine adjustment system allows precise
realignment of creasing channels to creasing rule. Thin plates in
conjunction with fine adjustment system reduces repeat job set up
time by 20-30 minutes.
-
Stripping tool - Quick lock up frame
Quick lock frame with centerline for dedicated upper
stripping tools. Includes fine adjustment system to allow
small positional changes to be undertaken quickly and precisely
without the need to un-clamp the stripping tool. Reduces set up
time by 5 minutes.
-
Stripping board - Quick clamp device
The female stripping board is fixed by clamp levers. Set up
time is reduced by 5 minutes and much easier for the operator.
Fine adjustment of the stripping board is possible in both x/y
directions.
