Edale, the UK-based manufacturer of narrow web printing and converting presses, have today announced the launch of their ‘infinitely adjustable sheeter’, the VLS-650.
The VLS-650 is a fully servo driven sheet cutter which allows for jumbo rolls of plain or pre-printed material to be fed through, and converted to sheets resulting in a delivery of shingle or deep pile stacks. Although initially launched into the digital market - with installations on a number of AGFA :Dotrix Modular machines in companies worldwide - the machine can be run in-line with almost any web fed machinery.
One of the many features of the VLS-650 is the capability to process a wide range of substrate types from 80 micron-600 micron, and widths of between 510mm-1,000mm. These materials can be cut into constant or variable lengths, to register, and can respond to varying sheet lengths instantaneously, on the fly without the need to change tooling. This unique ability is achieved through an optical sensor which detects an approaching sheet; the cutting knife is then accelerated to web speed and positioned for the perfect cut.
As with all of Edale’s machines, it is of modular design to ensure that a wide range of options can be added in the future, ensuring flexibility and upgradeability.
This new product is available for demonstration on the AGFA Graphics stand in Hall 11 Stand D220 at IPEX from 18-25 May 2010. Edale will be exhibiting in Hall 6, Stand D561.
