Why is finishing equipment needed
Printed graphics and displays need to be precisely registered, creased and cut.
Digital print speeds and increased market acceptance has created a demand for more than just a few samples and prototypes.
Short turnaround times and customization needs are driving a market need for digitally finished printed graphics.
Combination digital printers/finishing systems have yielded un-desirable results. A printer and a cutter is needed. Slide4
Types of Digital Finishing Equipment
Static Tables
Fixed table tops Material is held in place with vacuum.
Material and finished product manually loaded and removed.
Dynamic TablesIncorporate Conveyor table topsMaterial
is loaded manually or put into cutting position via conveyor. Options exist for automatic loading equipment both in sheet form and roll form. Finished samples
are moved off the table via conveyor. Robotic arms are available to remove finished goodsDual gantry systems provide multiple cutting headsSlide5
Print Graphic Registration
Print graphic registration uses existing cut data and printed registration marks to register and align material with printed graphics and ensure accurate contour cutting is possible.
Contrast Sensors
Print registration dots are read by contrast sensors and correct for material distortion in rigid materials.
The camera registers the actual dimensions and positions on the printed result. Then, finishing is adapted to the shape of the graphics. Cameras integrate with software and correct for material distortion in rigid and flexible materials. QR and bar code job data can be read by camera.Slide6
