Esko Kongsberg has launched a new range of specialty tools which help widen the possibilities for packaging materials.
There are high-quality cutting blades, router bits and accessories, a psaligraphy (paper-cutting) knife tool, perforation wheel, and braille tool.
Each is available for use on the Kongsberg XN, Kongsberg V and Kongsberg XL Series of digital finishing systems.
Esko Kongsberg has created a number of digital finishing offers in the signage, display and packaging markets, as well as cutting tables. It also continues to open up new markets and applications in materials such as glass, wood, aluminium and textiles.
The company's cutting systems are highly efficient when equipped with crease wheels, crease blades, milling bits or plotting pens.
The psaligraphy tool cuts out the finest details in paper and folding carton at a level not seen before. It adds creativity and value to greeting cards, promotional items, or folding carton samples. The 60mm perforation wheel enables users to create tear and crease-assist perforations in corrugated board up to 4mm thick, at a much higher speed than before. This tool is ideal for producing POP-materials and all kinds of packaging. Prior to this wheel becoming available, it took about 40 seconds to do one metre of a 3mmx3mm perforation pattern. The new wheel only needs two seconds to do that. The braille tool is loaded with clear acrylic ‘braille spheres’ that are inserted into small holes. These holes are milled with a special spindle to create raised dots that are readable with fingertips. The braille tool will work on most rigid materials more than 1mm thick, and is used to produce signage requiring directions or inscriptions in braille.
Esko Kongsberg's online store offers bits, blades and other accessories offers certified consumables for the full range of digital finishing tables.
