Digital printing company Xeikon, a division of Flint Group, has launched a self-adhesive label converter in response to demand for more flexible and affordable solutions.
The Xeikon Laser Die-cut Unit (LDU) has been designed to match the 31.5 ft/min speed of the Xeikon 3030 and has the flexibility to be upgraded onsite to a higher power laser.
Its inline configuration with the Xeikon 3030 enables tool- and hassle-free white sheet production, according to the company.
It is a one-man operation which is designed to increase productivity while decreasing human touchpoints.
The Xeikon LDU has a web width of up to 330mm and can handle materials from conventional or other digital presses including PP, Silver PP and PET.
The Xeikon LDU applies varnish, laser die-cuts, slits, and rewinds labels, enabling job changeovers with limited or no setup time.
The laser station can kiss-cut and perforate.
Integration with the Xeikon Front-End via the Vectorizor module ensures smooth and automated label production.
The system covers most of the converting needs for the short-run self-adhesive label market and can run off-line or in-line with the Xeikon 3000 Series.
