Masterwork Graphic Equipment has launched the MK1060ERS, an automatic platen die cutting machine with stripping and blanking facilities.
The MK1060ERS offers even greater accuracy, speed and stability than previous models while also being easier to operate.
The unit incorporates five processes, feeding, die cutting, stripping, blanking and waste conveying, allowing one operator to turn printed sheets into finished products in a single pass. Optional devices include pre-stacking and stripping preparation stands. The timing belts incorporated into the feed table improves the presentation of stock to the front and side lays, while the slow-down device enables thin paper to be controlled accurately.
Continuous feeding is aided by the high level of automation, with sheet detectors and control devices reducing waste. The stripping unit has a quick locking facility for easy operation and fast positioning of the stripping board. The transmission mechanism and smooth cam movement ensure stability and accuracy. Separation sheets can be inserted automatically in the non-stop blanking unit at pre determined quantities.
The MK1060ERS can handle sheets from 400 x 350 mm to 1060 x 760 mm, and offers an impressive die cutting area of 1,060 x 745 mm with an accuracy of ± 0.075 mm. The machine can be used with paper/board between 0.1 – 2 mm thick and corrugated board up to 4 mm. High productivity is aided by speeds of up to 6,500 sph. The feeder and delivery pile heights are 1,550 mm and 1,200 mm respectively.
‘Our R&D teams and engineers are extremely experienced in every area of die cutting and this allows us to continually develop and test new ideas,’ said European sales manager Ken Farnsworth. ‘All our machines are built to be highly productive, easy to operate and robust – the MK1060ERS offers a die cutting force of up to 260 tons.
