Zünd UK is planning a number of open-house events in 2018

 

Zünd UK has expanded its technology showroom in St Albans to feature its latest digital cutting innovations and has appointed a new sales technician to present demonstrations.

Thomas Scott joins the Zünd UK team from large graphics and vehicle livery company CGI Bedford, where he was an operator of Zünd systems.

‘We’re delighted to welcome Thomas Scott to Zünd in St Albans, where he’ll be guiding visitors around our stunning new dedicated showroom,’ commented Stuart Cole, managing director of Zünd Plotting Systems (UK). ‘It’s important that our users can see the latest equipment here in the UK, in friendly, quiet surroundings away from noisy trade show floors,’ he added.

Visitors to the larger, refurbished Zünd UK demonstration suite will receive a tour and an in-depth introduction into the company’s newest features. As well as the most up-to-date cutting machines, the latest advancements on display include an over-cutter camera and a laser cutting module, both unveiled at FESPA earlier this year.

The new Zünd Overhead Cutter Camera (OCC) is a single camera mounted over the bed to target and capture all the register marks on a substrate at once, boosting the productivity of cutting processes by up to 30%.

Available for the Zünd G3, the new Laser Module is a 100W CO2 laser system able to accurately cut and seal polyester textiles in one step. This eliminates the manual processes normally necessary to avoid fraying in soft signage, and therefore brings textiles up to 2mm thick in line with paper and PVC for POS applications.
