Rollem’s line of Insignia diecutting systems offer a modern option to traditional methods of diecutting. Flexible diecutting systems provide the advantage of reduced and streamlined makeready processes compared to the conventional diecutting methods. While the traditional machinery requires skilled operators to perform complicated procedures to achieve the desired cutting results – skilled operators who rapidly are departing the workforce and leaving a void of technically capable machine operators – the more contemporary machines like Rollem’s Insignia offer simplified operation with the use of flexible dies and a faster learning curve for unskilled operators.
The Insignia enables very quick changeover times and efficient processing of short-run work. It will diecut along with related functions, such as partial cutting, creasing and embossing. Insignia has an automatic waste stripping unit to divert the matrix of the sheet, leaving only the finished product with no extra manpower. It is integrated with either a slow-moving conveyor for easy off-loading of the product or a StackMaster receding stacker delivery. It also can operate inline with folding/gluing units for a single, uninterrupted finishing line, such as flat sheet in folded/glued box out, all with one operator.
