Rotary cutting machine RSM410 IML

filmfoillabel

Overview
The RSM410 IML is a compact, high-performance rotary cutting and punching system designed for processing in-mould labels, labels, tickets and packaging. It provides precise, register-accurate in-setting cutting with flexible format handling suitable for small and medium production runs.

Innovative VARICUT hybrid drive technology
The VARICUT hybrid drive combines continuous and intermittent motion during cutting. Processing in in-setting mode keeps the cutting always in register with the print, enabling format-independent handling of digitally printed films and packaging materials.

Key benefits

• High availability and processing flexibility
• Short setup times for rapid product changeovers
• No additional magnetic cylinders required for new print formats
• Optimised for digital printing workflows

Proven rotary cutting technology
The machine uses high-precision, long-life magnetic cylinders in robust cutting units. Magnetic cylinder features include:

• Preset pressure settings
• High-precision bearings and bearing blocks
• Gap Control System for accurate wear compensation of the cutting edge
• Centrally located quick lift from the magnetic cylinder to the impression cylinder (without loss of register)

Vacuum controlled product run
The RSM features a full-surface vacuum belt for transporting cut IML labels. A multi-vacuum chamber system improves product handling and eliminates frequent adjustments for contour, arrangement or material grammage changes.

Safe and efficient product handling (Spider)
Robotization and automation enable continuous, safe stacking and delivery. The automated delivery stacks products with the same print image and reliably handles nested or mixed-size products. Highlights include:

• Continuous web speed up to 50 m/min (typical Spider configuration)
• Dedicated pick & place plates
• Different product types and shapes picked safely at synchronized speeds and stacked nonstop in a dual pile box system

RSM IML-Twin Spider (high-performance option)
The Twin Spider configuration supports wider webs and higher speeds for high-performance processing:

• Web widths up to 1,000 mm
• Format lengths up to 1,220 mm
• Processing speeds up to 100 m/min
• Reliable continuous operation with automatic register control and an intuitive control panel
• Twin-Sider technology for gentle and efficient product handling

Antistatic device
The antistatic unit discharges high voltages using targeted discharge electrodes to reliably avoid electrostatic discharges regardless of material or process speed.

Reduce set-up time / Save material
The RSM enables automatic re-registration during reel changes to save material and significantly reduces setup times of the slitter.
