The Ultimate 24 is designed for continuous, high-speed operations. It features 2.7G acceleration and cutting speeds over 165m/min.

David Preskett, VP EMEA & APAC at Kongsberg PCS, said: “The Ultimate is our flagship high productivity solution for corrugated and board converters. We started selling it around about Drupa last year and it’s been very successful. 

“The 24 size matches the inkjet format of most presses. It’s been highly well regarded with a great reaction to its speed and productivity

“We brought it because we’re seeing more and more people putting in faster and faster presses for inkjet and their challenge is, how do they finish it quick enough? So we bought a high productivity solution.”

Also on stand, the Kongsberg C24 is a cutting table powered by a 3kW continuous duty high-performance milling unit that can be configured for milling applications ranging from sporadic, light-duty routing to lengthy jobs to working with heavy-duty materials.

With 1.7G acceleration and speeds up to 100m/min, the C24 can process “even the most rugged materials” at high-production speeds without slowing down or sacrificing the finishing quality of any wide-format signage.

Both cutters on show feature working areas of 1.6x3.2m. They can be ordered now with general lead times of around eight weeks.

Also being showcased is the new iPC 3.1 operator software, a significant operating system update to be rolled out across a number of Kongsberg tables.

Designed for ease of use, increased versatility and uptime for enhanced workflow efficiency, the iPC 3.1 software is said to deliver “a major leap” in productivity for day-to-day operations.

Meanwhile, the company has launched its new global ‘Shaping Your Future Together’ campaign, which it said was strengthening its commitment to working in partnership with businesses to drive innovation and efficiency.

The customer-centric approach is built around four key pillars: maximising productivity, revealing potential, utilising skills, and solving business problems.

“Technology is one small part of the discussion. Companies have some business challenges to resolve and we are talking to a lot of companies about where they are going in the next five years, and what do they want to offer their customers?” said Preskett.

“We’re helping them realise their potential and to make their people more productive. If we automate, then people can be freed up to do more added value work in their organisation.”
