Schober redesigns SL 106

The Sheetline SL 106 is equipped with a high-speed belt stream feeder combined with suction head technology and a heavy duty die-cutting station, as well as a robot-automated stacking, counting and piling system.

Most of the features which have proven their efficiency in the web-fed die-cutting machine such as the pre-set and calibrated cutting pressure adjustment, high-precision bearing assemblies and housings for low temperature running, vibration-free design and micrometric die wear compensation adjustment (GCS) have been integrated in the die cutting station of the Sheetline SL 106.

In addition, the converting station is equipped with a vacuum controlled magnetic cylinder tool and the new and unique gripper sheet guiding system which ensures high-precision finishing of pre-printed sheets. The products are separated from the matrix immediately after the cutting process and redirected to the robot-automated stacking unit by a conveyor belt. Magnetic dies guarantee a set-up time as well as the highest productivity, even for short runs, the company claims. Further, the design of the die-cutting station and its accessibility allows the possibility to integrate additional finishing tools at a later stage.

The robot-automated stacking system is capable of handling different types of products combined within the same printing image. These can be heavily nested and can be a combination of large and small products.

Product specific fast exchangeable pick-up plates collect products at synchronized speed and stack them non-stop into a twin piling cassette system.

The Sheetline SL 106 is designed for a sheet size of 106 x 78cm and a foil thickness starting at 50 microns.

The system was launched in 2012.
