Grafotronic shows new innovations at Labelexpo Europe

Grafotronic has confirmed that it will showcase a whole range of innovations at Labelexpo Europe 2025. 

The new innovations include world premiere of the ultra-high-speed semi-rotary, single-anvil die-cutting unit X-1, the Next Generation SCI-FI Laser, the fully automatic turret Infinity, powered by Serame and a brand-new semi-automatic turret with auto-closing system. 

One of the easiest multilayer module, Grafotronic MLL, the updated IQ+ automation suite, the updated ultra-compact finisher SCF – now running at 100m/min will also be showcased. Also on show will be the latest version of the AI-driven computer vision virtual operator IQ+, part of the Grafotronic COLLAB automation suite and the Hybrid – together with Domino. 

Under the theme ‘We are hybrid’, Grafotronic has joined forces with Domino Printing Sciences for a collaborative showcase for hybrid label production. This fully integrated machine combines Domino’s N730i Integration Module with Grafotronic’s DCL2 converting and finishing stations, uniting digital printing with high-performance finishing in one streamlined process. 

Visitors to the Domino–Grafotronic Hybrid Arena (Booth 3G85) will experience the complete process live – from substrate preparation through to printed and fully finished label rolls – all in a single pass. 

Grafotronic IQ is a workflow automation system that enables the DCL modular finishing line to perform job changes autonomously, handling all job settings automatically. During production it constantly monitors and adjusts register if required. It is a virtual operator. 

IQ sets and keeps the modules it is installed on in perfect register, using a pre-printed mark and cross with no external input required. Automation is handled at job level. 

It is for every label producer who wants, or needs, faster setup times, less waste during setup, consistent workflows, and automatic register quality assurance throughout the production run. 

IQ is a part of Grafotronic Collab Workflow. Grafotronic Collab unifies and automates the full workflow of label producers, creating a seamless and highly efficient production environment. 

From JDF/JMF to REST API, Collab offers it all. The Collab Rest API streamlines machine integration with real-time control. Designed with simplicity and scalability in mind, the API allows efficient data exchange and machine control through HTTP-based interactions and live WebSocket notifications. 

The X-1 die-cutting speed will be officially revealed on the morning of Labelexpo’s opening.
