Elitron (Hall 1, Stand C20) is demonstrating its multi-function Kombo SDC+ conveyor cutting system with Kumula, the new Elitron Stacking System (ESS), at Fespa Global Print Expo.

The Italian company said its new loading and stacking system adds automation as required.

Elitron executive director Paolo Malatesta said visitors will be able to see how this optional unloading system boosts productivity and efficiency as it neatly stacks all cut sheets automatically.

“Handling times are greatly reduced, and less operator intervention is necessary, making this a sound investment to increase profitability,” he commented.

Also on show at Fespa, taking place at the RAI in Amsterdam from 19-22 March, is the more compact Spark system, which can cut through materials to create displays, signs, gadgets, and samples.

Both systems will be demonstrating multi-tool cutting and milling, for roll materials and rigid sheets.

Elitron tooling options including the DL45 tool for single pass 90° V-cutting for compact cardboard and honeycomb materials, and the 3kW Milling Module with automatic seven-position Tool Changer, for aluminium, plastics, foams, composite materials, and more, will also be on show.

Additionally, Elitron is demonstrating its patented automatic vision technology, Seeker System, which identifies printed reference points and printed images from both the top and underside and automatically loads and aligns the relative cutting files.

Finally, there's a sneak preview of the new Kombo Tav, which will be unveiled later in the year at Drupa and will take full pallet-to-pallet automation to a new level, according to Elitron.

All Elitron systems come with the Elitron Power Management System (EPMS), which reduces the energy consumption of the powerful vacuum.
