Cutting Material Costs When Using
Laminate Films
Converters and plastics printers handling applications involving expensive core stocks or similarly high-priced laminate films can now cut material waste costs.
That is according to Spartanics, which said that its new Smart Laminator-Die Cut system synchronises roll lamination and die cutting operations so that the typical causes of stock and laminate production waste are eliminated The smart sensors in the Smart Laminator-Die Cut system is claimed to eliminate the waste of core sheets, whilst detecting sheet mis-feeds, sources of improper laminating, or film splices

the system automatically stops so that corrective measures can be taken, added the company.
Smart Laminator is also said to minimise wasted overlaminate, whilst it incorporates start and stop lamination controls and sensors for missing sheets, or film splices.
It also minimizes downtime from laminator fault conditions, whilst detecting low laminate film supply, or broken laminate rolls to automatically stop the system.
Tom O'Hara, Spartanics president, said: "Cutting material waste costs is often one of the best ways to boost the bottom line for the growing number of converters that are using expensive overlaminate materials and high-priced substrates.
Now we have taken our optically-registered die cutting technology that provides unsurpassed registration precision accuracy and married it to smart controls for laminator and sheet feeder inputs to the die cut system." He explained: "Because the Smart Laminator-Die Cut system can be operated by a single, lightly trained operator, it also helps converters cut labour costs, or redeploy workers to other production line duties.".
