Omet launches die-cutting system

Italian press manufacturer Omet has launched a die-cutting system for labels and tags. The Monotwin system uses a single magnetic cylinder for all label sizes, thereby eliminating the need for the converter to stock a range of different tooling.  

The MonoTwin die-cutting system operates by rotating at a constant speed during the cutting phase, while its servo-controlled motor allows it to adjust its idling speed to the acceleration and deceleration of the press while staying synchronized for the next cut. The unit is available for both the Omet X-Jet (digital) and Omet X-Flex (flexo) series of presses. 

The unit is said to be simple to use, eliminating the need for a hoist to lift heavy cylinders, and completes a changeover in seconds by simply replacing the cutting sheet. Operational control of the unit, web tension, and waste extraction are all carried out via the main operator control board, while pre-register and register control is fully automatic.
