Hi D L, thanks for asking. Sure we can give you some reasons: - faster blanking process (up to 20.000 sh/hr) - better blanking quality of the blanks (no marks from manual stripping) - in the newest design the nicks in between the single cut are already broken = real banking ready for the further processing We hope we could answer your question with that? Cheers, your Koenig & Bauer Team

Hi Vimal. yes the plates are produced by an external supplier, our preferred supplier is Wink. But you can also order the plates from other manufacturers, e.g.: Rotometrics, Drohmann, Kocher & Beck... there are many manufacturers for these plates. Cheers :)

Dear TheJackpam, In order to be able to specify make ready times it is important to differentiate between the applications first. There is a difference between IML and packaging. Roughly speaking: for a repeat packaging job without embossing, we set up in 15 minutes. When we have a new job, make-ready takes an average of 30 minutes. For IML, a repeat job is done in 5 min, a new job in approx. 10-15 min. The Rapida RDC has no gripper bar chains like a flatbed die-cutter. The sheet is transported in the RDC exactly like in a Koenig & Bauer offset press with a tolerance of less than 0.015 µm - This makes the RDC the most precise die-cutter on the market!

Is this machine suitable for kiss cut of screen printed automotive pvc decals
