Highcon makes ‘substantial’ Euclid production enhancement

Highcon has increased the productivity of its Euclid digital cutting and creasing system, which now has an effective speed increased by up to 40 percent for B2 sheets.

The Productivity Boost package applies to Highcon Euclid III, Euclid IIIS and other Euclid machines installed worldwide

Through a combination of software development and mechanical upgrades, the Highcon Productivity Boost package extends the capabilities of the Highcon Euclid platform. The package applies to Highcon Euclid III, Euclid IIIS and other Euclid machines installed worldwide.

This equates to a maximum speed of up to 2,750sph for B2 (29in) sheets now, previously 2,000sph. In B1 (42in), the increase is 1,500sph to a maximum speed of 2,250sph, a more modest 15-20 percent improvement.

Eshchar Ben-Shitrit, vice president of marketing at Highcon, said: ‘We are proud of the ongoing dialog that we have with our customers that allows us to continuously work on improving the productivity of our machines. Highcon customers can now compete profitably against analog finishing even on simple, repeat jobs as well as earning premium prices for special high end decoration enabled only by our technology.’
