Swanline Paper and Board, the recently launched materials division of Swanline Print, has bought an Esko Kongsberg C24 cutting table featuring multi-zone operation and robotic loading and unloading.
The system will join an existing Kongsberg XP digital cutting table, enabling the company’s finishing operation to keep pace with two HP Scitex FB11000 industrial presses.
Ross Griffin, MD of Swanline Paper and Board, said: “We came across this exciting system at Drupa. We were amazed by its versatility and precision in handling multiple files and its ability to quickly and efficiently cut any type of material.
“We are convinced that the Kongsberg C24 cutting table, with multi-zone operation and robotic loading and unloading, is the right solution to keep up with our two HP Scitex FB11000 printing systems and their upgrades.”
Richard Towers, Managing Director of Swanline Print, added: “At a later stage we may also team our existing Kongsberg XP table with the new C24 table to accelerate cutting production, because the robot can be set up to serve two Kongsberg cutting tables simultaneously.”
