Schobertechnologies introduces new IML technology

Schobertechnologies has introduced vector technology for the converting of digitally printed flexible packaging materials into IML. With the RSM-DIGI/Varicut, Schobertechnologies has developed a new generation of hybrid drive technology, specially designed for digitally printed flexible packaging materials. This combines continuous and vector rotary diecutting technology in re-registration mode, thus a wide range of formats can be processed with a single tool.

In fully modular design, the RSM-DIGI/Varicut is designed to convert web width up to 770 mm, and with repeat or format length of up to 1150 mm. The standard configuration of the RSM-DIGI/Varicut includes an MStack delivery system, available as an option.

For future upgrades, the S-Stack is an adjustable de-nesting station to handle several products across, as well as a high speed programmable robot-automated stacking and counting system (“Spider”), which combines extreme acceleration, velocity and precision at continuous web speed of up to 50m/min.

The product is designed for short make-ready times, with minimum waste and cost-effective cutting technology. In addition, maximum lifetime is expected due to micrometric die wear compensation adjustment.
