AutoBlank blanking system – Koenig & Bauer only

  • Fully automatic system for inline blanking directly after the rotary die-cutting process
  • Blanking is possible without additional tools
  • Simple, convenient handling and high production speeds up to 15,000 sheets/hr 
  • Fastest possible makeready – a full job change is completed in less than ten minutes
  • Precise blank stacks with inserted slip sheets enable direct further processing on the folder-gluer or shipping to the customer

AirTronic delivery – full preset capabilities

  • Venturi sheet guiding system provides for innovative, air-cushioned and thus contact-free sheet transport for the broadest range of substrates, including particularly sensitive materials
  • Dynamic sheet brake of the Rapida 106 X ensures “picture-perfect pallets” with absolutely straight pile edges for immediate further processing without manual intervention, even at die-cutting speeds up to 15,000 sheets/hr 
  • Fastest possible makeready for repeat jobs thanks to full preset capabilities for all air and format settings 

Stripping unit – fast and convenient

  • For process optimisation in folding carton production with a rotary die-cutting process
  • Shorter production times as die-cutting and stripping of the die-cutting waste can be accomplished in a single machine pass
  • Double-size stripping cylinder for secure fixing of the die-cut blanks and reliable waste separation
  • Convenient removal of the die-cutting waste 

Die-cutting unit – absolute precision

  • Fastest possible makeready and simple handling at job changeovers thanks to a “click & cut” register pin system for automated positioning of the process forme on the cylinder
  • Maximum process quality with register accuracy down to 15 µm
  • High-precision setting of the die-cutting pressure in 1 µm steps, separately for each side of the cylinder 
  • Perfect die-cutting quality from the very beginning of the shift – the “ZeroFlex” die-cutting unit provides for a constant die-cutting pressure and stable quality at all times

Die-cutting unit substructure – Rapida performance 

  • Unit-design principle with double-size back cylinders and heavy-duty bearings for ultimate quality and a long service life 
  • User-friendly clamping and tensioning mechanism permits fast and convenient replacement of the protector jackets

Creasing unit – always perfectly in line

  • Fastest possible makeready and simple handling at job changeovers thanks to a “click & cut” register pin system for automated positioning of the process forme on the cylinder
  • Maximum process quality with register accuracy down to 15 µm
  • Exceptional precision through exact setting of the die-cutting pressure in 1 µm steps, separately for each side of the cylinder 
  • Magnetic back cylinder for the mounting of creasing formes with register punching, making use of the “click & cut” principle

Embossing unit – flexible and user-friendly

  • Fastest possible makeready and simple handling at job changeovers thanks to a “click & cut” register pin system for automated positioning of the process forme on the cylinder
  • Maximum process quality with register accuracy down to 15 µm
  • Exceptional precision through exact setting of the die-cutting pressure in 1 µm steps, separately for each side of the cylinder 
  • Magnetic back cylinder for the mounting of 
    • creasing and embossing formes with register punching, making use of the “click & cut” principle, or
    • individual embossing tools or die segments, which can be positioned freely within the area of the sheet without the need for tools

Sidelay-free infeed DriveTronic SIS (Sensoric Infeed System) – simply ingenious

  • Koenig & Bauer only
  • Significant waste savings thanks to reliable, marking-free sheet alignment, irrespective of substrate thickness 
  • Stable production processes and high availability thanks to fewer stoppages and exact infeed register 

DriveTronic feeder – convenient and time-saving

  • Absolute sheet feeding precision and production speeds up to 15,000 sheets/hr thanks to innovative DriveTronic dedicated drive technologies from the makeready world champion Rapida 106
  • Process reliability and maximum flexibility, even with demanding substrates
  • Fastest possible makeready for repeat jobs with full preset capabilities for all air and format settings

Something special for every need – packaging

Modern folding carton production embraces an enormous range of applications and forms. The growing trend towards just-in-time production calls for fast and cost-effective solutions which nevertheless deliver the accustomed quality. Not only on the printing press, but also at all downstream finishing stages. The rotary die-cutter CutPRO X 106 is the ideal answer to these challenges. 

Highlights: 

  • Die-cutting speeds up to 15,000 sheets/hr for a broad spectrum of folding carton substrates – up to a thickness of 0.6 mm
  • Full job changeovers in less than 20 minutes, with saving of all job-specific setting values in the Koenig & Bauer LogoTronic management system to ensure the fastest possible makeready for repeat jobs 
  • Embossing in ultimate quality at the maximum machine speed of 15,000 sheets/hr – separate process units also avoid any need for a second machine pass
  • Separation of the process steps of die-cutting and creasing opens up new possibilities in folding carton design, e.g. tighter cutting line radii or intersecting creasing and cutting lines
  • Inline blanking at production speeds up to 15,000 sheets/hr for a higher net sheet output per shift
  • “Click & cut” register pin system for fast and exact forme positioning on the cylinder without additional manual intervention
  • Register accuracy down to 15 µm for maximum process quality
  • LiveApp family to assist machine operation and inventory management
  • Minimised space requirements for tool storage, e.g. die-cutting formes  

CutPRO X 106 - Benefits for the packaging market:

  • Exceptional productivity thanks to die-cutting speeds up to 15,000 sheets/hr
  • A wide range of automation modules and implementation of the “click & cut” principle provide for extremely fast makeready between jobs
  • Outstanding register accuracy down to 15 µm guarantees excellent process quality
  • Significant waste savings thanks to comprehensive preset functionality and DriveTronic components
  • Maximum flexibility in terms of machine configurations and options allows perfect tailoring to your individual requirements
  • Modern operating concept and intuitive user interface for maximum ease of operation
