Description in detail
The RD-6181, our large cutting machine, is specifically designed for the offset printer. The fast make ready of the machines allows both very short run and long run jobs. No specifically trained staff is required for running these machines! All operators from the finishing department will be capable of running this machine after a proper explanation of the functions.
The machine is equipped with all the necessary features for a trouble free, fast operation. The large cutting machine is standard equipped with a pile feeder, print mark register control and both a standard hardened anvil and a magnetic anvil. For cutting, only the hardened steel anvil is used with a simple cutting plate on the magnetic top cylinder. Creasing jobs require a counter line. In this case, a magnetic anvil cylinder is used with two flexible dies: the top die with the cutting lines and male creasing lines, and the bottom die with the anvil lines and the female counter creasing line. For the companies that frequently change between the two types of jobs, a double anvil version large cutting machine is also available.
A perfect cut is guaranteed
The two anvil cylinders are mounted in a carrousel and can be changed automatically after removal of the dies. The cylinders run with a fixed gap that assures perfect cutting. The fixed cutting gap of the large cutting machine avoids operator errors that might damage the flexible die. The register control has two optical sensors, one for sheet detection and one for print detection. Offset printed jobs can run on sheet edge, digital printed jobs on print mark register. The solid construction of the large cutting machine offers reliability, a fast make ready and virtually no waste.
