Digital Cutting Plotter

iEcho IECHO PK0705

A cutting plotter (digital flatbed cutter) is the "Swiss Army knife" among die cutting machines. It does not require any die-cutting tools at all, is extremely flexible in terms of the material to be processed, and can be switched to the next job in a matter of seconds. Digital flatbed cutters are, among other things, the ideal complement to digital printers and perfect finishing in the field of digital printing.

Flexible production from batch size 1 - with flatbed plotters from CMC Maschinenbau
As an official partner, CMC Maschinenbau offers plotter systems from iECHO for the European market. These state-of-the-art industrial plotters are designed for tough continuous operation and can therefore be used without restriction in 24/7 operation.

For production jobs in the medium to lower piece count range, flatbed plotters offer considerable advantages over high-volume punching systems. This is because neither special tools nor corresponding lead times are required. Adjustments to the die-cutting part contours can also be processed purely digitally and implemented immediately with the next cutting process. In this way, prototypes, for example, can be continuously optimized in the development process without the need for tool changes. For prototype sampling, premium sales samples can be produced for customers thanks to exact cutting results.

Moreover, thanks to QR code recognition, completely new cutting geometries can be set during the ongoing production process and implemented immediately without tool changes.

Cutting instead of punching
Flatbed cutters from CMC Maschinenbau ideally complement existing machinery. Their flexibility also enables them to accept smaller orders that could only be produced uneconomically on large die-cutting systems.

From individual display packaging for a short-term sales campaign to seals made of rubber, felt or silicone to the cutting of leather and upholstery fabrics in the furniture industry, there are only a few limits to the possible applications. It is also ideal for the production of prototypes during product development or for trial orders. Examples include the development of vibration-proof packaging made of cardboard or a technical die-cut part made of a multi-laminate. If, when testing the part, it is found that there is a need for rework, the CAD-based design can be adapted within a very short time and the new electronic data converted into a finished die-cut part. iEcho cutting plotters offer their creativity - by omitting the cutting tools - considerably more possibilities.

Work efficiency and fast ROI
Flatbed cutters from CMC Maschinenbau can also be used for unmanned continuous operation thanks to automated fiducial recognition and reading of new production data via QR code. From piece number 1, cutting jobs can be processed continuously without further operator intervention. The built-in (and optional) transport systems eliminate manual feeding. Automatic alignment of the cutting pattern to the position of the material eliminates the need for time-consuming and error-prone manual adjustments.

Due to the high flexibility at a comparatively low price, in many cases the investment is amortized after only a few months. This is one of the main advantages of the industrial plotters from CMC Maschinenbau.
