Edale launches web-fed flatbed die-cutter

Edale has unveiled a new line of converting equipment: a web-fed flatbed die-cutter, the FDC-510. 

The FDC-510 is claimed to combine the best of sheet-fed flatbed die-cutting technology with a cutting-edge servo-driven constant tension web transport system. Designed for fast job change and set-up, when run in-line with machines such as the Edale Gamma flexo printing press, or digital printing lines, the FDC-510 creates an efficient web-fed, single pass folding carton production line ideal for short run cartons from 1,000-100,000 units.

The machine is said to reduce tooling costs, is capable of embossing and printing Braille, and allows cutting tool changeovers to be completed in less than 15 minutes. The new equipment can be retrofitted to an existing web-fed press, or to an unwind stand for offline conversion of conventionally or digitally pre-printed webs. 

Edale will launch the FDC-510 at an open house at its factory in Hampshire, UK, in April. To register to attend the event please email sales@edale.com.
