Knife creaser solves cracking problem
BABS International has announced a heavy duty knife creasing machine which solves the quality problem faced by many digital printers.
Dick Reynolds, BABS' managing director, said the Ideal 5221-05 EP Digicut guillotine may not be the biggest or most expensive new equipment at the show, but it was likely to create a tremendous buzz of interest amongst digital printers.
He added: "The reason is that it is the first Ideal 52cm guillotine to incorporate hydraulic clamping.
It offers all the sophistication of a big print guillotine, but in a compact format.
The clamp pressure is adjustable to avoid crushing delicate work and can be used in conjunction with a false clamp plate.
The foot pedal enables the operator to lower the clamp and hold folded and small work while the cut is activated." The new model is based on the 5221-95 which has been one of the company's best-selling guillotines.
"It has been two years in research and development.
Ideal decided a hydraulic drive would be the next logical move in making a machine to suit the needs of digital printers," said Reynolds.
Other features on the new guillotine include a fully programmable EP backgauge control with a 10-button key pad for pre-setting measurements.
The price of the guilllotine is GBP 7,990 plus VAT.
