The SM-350 eliminates the traditional requirement for dies or punches. The machine can start cutting immediately as soon as the user uploads the cutting layout file, saving time and cost associated with die manufacturing and setup. This reduces lead time and supports on-demand production, enabling converters to fulfill urgent orders within hours. With the first label cut being sellable, waste is drastically reduced compared to conventional die-cutting methods.
The machine has three precision cutting heads, delivering cutting speeds of up to 15 meters per minute. It supports label widths up to 350 mm and lengths up to 1500 mm, making it versatile for various digital and narrow-web flexo jobs.
With its integrated CCD camera, the SM-350 can read job numbers or QR codes, enabling automatic job changeovers and cutting shape updates without operator input. This intelligent automation minimizes downtime and maximizes throughput, especially for converters managing multiple SKUs.
Beyond cutting, the SM-350 also performs lamination for added durability and visual appeal, waste matrix removal for cleaner roll outputs, slitting into smaller rolls to suit various delivery formats and optional roll-to-sheet conversion for flexible production needs.
