Delta showcases complex converting

Delta Industrial hosted a successful Technology Showcase at its headquarters in Minneapolis in April. The two-day event explored the latest trends in the converting, finishing and packaging industries. Around 200 attendees participated in educational seminars with industry leaders, reviewed complex converting machinery equipment running live and learned from Delta’s component suppliers about the latest technology developments.

Delta Industrial has spent a lot of time in the last few years developing its Delta Edge laser die cutting technology. By 2013 the company had installed 1,150 laser die cutting systems around the world for a wide range of applications. At the showcase, Delta revealed its latest portable laser module, with onboard chilling, ventilation and controls that can be easily moved throughout a manufacturing plant. This laser module is designed to take the place of a die station and is compatible with a rotary converting or digital print finishing system. It can also be used as a standalone sheet-fed system. The integrated chiller and ventilation system is fully enclosed in the sturdy cabinet with its own Delta HMI. The entire unit is mounted on casters making it completely portable.
